Aries
(8th House) You can almost get that feeling of standing on the threshold of some major renovation of your life, and perhaps even a little boldly so. The New Moon on Monday (or Sunday) is asking you to willingly release those things that are taking up too much room, in order to make room for that new beginning to take root. Where are you needing a reboot. The sort of reboot that will invest your life with greater hope for the future, and restore joy into your life? It may take a bit of courage and honesty and determination to make that happen. Is there some area of your life that is in need of repair? Something that maybe you’ve been kicking down the road and avoiding? And is there something that you can now do about it? A good intention for Aries with the Scorpio New Moon might be: I am powerful and strong, and capable of overcoming even the most daunting of challenges. Even in the face of extraordinary challenges and changes, Aries will still remain undaunted. Tell yourself that you’ve got this. Then go out there and show them how this is done. Some initiatives for the New Moon in Scorpio could be: replacing self-defeating behaviors and habits, with new and better ones; committing to a program of rehabilitation, or renewal; taking on a project to renovate or rebuild; paying off old debts; freeing yourself up from old agreements or obligations that are no longer serving you, and might even be preventing you from growing. Getting rid of subscriptions you no longer need or use. Recycle, re-use and repurpose.
Taurus
(7th House) The New Moon in Scorpio is significant to Taurus because it serves as something of a turning point in the year. This is when you can look back on the previous 6 months and see what you have accomplished, and what more you might want to commit to over the next 6 months. This particular New Moon also has something of a healing quality about it, that seems to make all the stress of the past several weeks worth it. Out of the stress of the doing, can be found the peace of the done. This is also when we tend to acknowledge the other people in our lives. This can bring a desire for even deeper commitment or renewal. Or it can be a time of adjustment. A good intention to make with the New Moon on Monday (or Sunday) might be: May I be led to realize those who support and walk with me on this path. But perhaps one of the most significant benefits of the New Moon in Scorpio can be sort of insights that can be received when you are willing to look at things from another person’s perspective. This is a good week to therefore: seek some sort of advice or guidance from someone who inspires you, and/or can help you to make positive changes in your life; committing or re-committing to a partnership; or meeting new people who share a commonality of perception; trying something new in the company of others that will motivate you in a positive and life-affirming way.
Gemini
(6th House) Mercury in Scorpio is gradually slowing down for its direct station next week. Meanwhile there are positive opportunities here that can bring some much needed closure and release. It is important to do this in order to create the space that will then allow all sorts of new avenues for growth to come in. In order to do this well, some sort of profound change is occurring. A good affirmation for the New Moon on Monday (Sunday) might be: I welcome and accept my current path for where it is presently bringing me, knowing that this is precisely where I need to be. This New Moon, albeit intense in the sign of Scorpio, can also be a little mystifying, requiring the faith that there is indeed some significant plan afoot. Even if you cannot yet see what that is. Be prepared to change your mind or perspective as a result. Some things the New Moon might be good for: reorganizing your environment and work space to allow you to work more efficiently; invest your daily routines with a sense of renewal and purpose.

Leo
(4th House) The New Moon on Monday is a Moon of wondrous realizations, and opportunities for deepening connections with loved ones and family. Give yourself permission to change your perspective along with your mind, for there’s no telling where this Moon can bring you. This could be a good Moon for plotting out the future. But before you do so, ask yourself what needs releasing before you can proceed. And remind yourself of how far you have come up until this point. Hold on to the essence of what once was, but be willing to let go of that which is no longer serving you. By doing so, you allow better things to come in and begin to take root. It is time to move on and make some sort of refresh. Out of the ashes of the past, a new beginning can be born.

Virgo
(3rd House) You can just feel the changing tides shifting beneath your very feet. It can be like that when your ruling planet Mercury is in its retrograde phase. The New Moon shines a light on the fact that some of those shifts can be deeply healing and transformational. New Moons are about new beginnings, but the retrograde Mercury is a reminder that in order to make those new beginnings, you are going to have tie up the loose ends of the past, or what remains of it.

Transformative and empowering, the New Moon in Scorpio is asking you to think in terms of making deeper commitments to those people, places and things that support your sense of self and your own well-being.

A good intention for this Moon might be: I want to easily see myself letting go of the past in order to prepare the way for a grand new beginning that is yet to come.

Aquarius
(10th House) The New Moon in Scorpio each year presents opportunities to revisit your goals for the future. From out of the hidden shadows of the New Moon in Scorpio you are being asked to embrace your own power. This may seem contradictory. For often when Pluto travels in one’s own sign, as it now is, the first things we become aware of are the things we don’t have any power over. But ultimately this can and will be about recognizing and owning your own capacity to be able to totally transform your life in your own image. And the New Moon in Scorpio is asking you to think in terms of what that might look like for you. There are tremendous forces for both healing and guidance over the next few months.
