A new month has just arrived and with it, on November 1st comes the New Moon in the emotional and mysterious sign of Scorpio. This New Moon brings a deep and transformative energy, creating one of the most important moments of the season. This lunar reset is full of mysticism and coincides with several important cultural celebrations.
If you're ready to make the most of this Lunar New Moon moment, here are some pointers on what to do and avoid during the November 2024 New Moon.
DO: Try a different ritual
The annual new moon in Scorpio is sometimes known as "Lunar Samhain" because of its proximity to the pagan holiday of the same name. And because Samhain actually begins on Halloween and runs until November 1st, this New Moon is a perfect time for some magical activities. Plan a special ritual to honor the lunar energy. A moment for meditation would be perfect.
DON'T: Run from your fears
This New Moon is supported by the steady energy of Saturn, bringing some real and helpful moments for reflection. The combination of truth-seeking from Scorpio and reality-dealing from Saturn makes this an ideal time to face your fears, rather than hide from them. Ignoring the issues that bother you doesn't make them go away, so face the challenges head on. You may find that once you see them up close, they're not as scary as you thought.
DO: Embrace the transformation
With the Sun and Moon together in the sign of Scorpio, transformation becomes the main theme. Scorpio is known for accepting the inevitable cycles of life and being reborn from the ashes, like a phoenix. Therefore, this New Moon is a golden opportunity to allow yourself to change and develop. Get out of your comfort zone and embrace the changes that can help you become the best version of yourself.
DON'T: Ignore your intuition
During this New Moon, spiritual planet Neptune makes a powerful connection with Mercury and Mars, heightening your intuitive sensitivity. This means your instincts are sharper than usual. This is an ideal time to remove distractions and stop the external clutter so that you can hear your inner voice more clearly. Calm your mind and trust your feelings - your intuition will guide you naturally.
DO: Embrace your creative side
Speaking of the strong conjunction that occurs with the new Moon, Neptune, the planet of dreams and vision, is activated along with Mercury and Mars. This is a perfect period to express yourself and act on your most creative and magical ideas. Use the energy of the New Moon to explore artistic projects and be a little bolder in your self-expression. This is the time to experience and engage in something that inspires you.
DON'T: Act without thinking
Scorpio energy is deep and emotionally aware, but on bad days, it can bring out vengeful sides and a thirst for power. During the New Moon, the two rulers of Scorpio - Pluto and Mars - will be in conflict, creating the potential to be driven to act without thinking long or to engage in deep thought. Try to accept the things that hurt you and use your energy to set stronger boundaries.
