For the week of October 29th thru November 5th, be sure to read your Rising Sign as well:

Aries

The Full Moon on October 20th was trying to tune you in to what is or is no longer working in your life. Now that your ruling planet, Mars, is entering Scorpio this weekend, you will be seriously thinking about what you can do about that. You will be asking yourself over the next several weeks: What needs to go, and is no longer serving you? What has been holding you back, and even feeling oppressive and limiting your freedom and growth? The New Moon in Scorpio next Thursday, is an opportunity to make the intention, or even take the initiative to rectify, remediate, or withdraw from obligations that have become too unwieldy, oppressive or simply more costly than they are worth. Are there any impossible situations that you can no longer contend with? Or is there some area of your life that is in need of some serious improvement? And is there something that you can proactively do about it? Having Mars in Scorpio on your side will bring you the courage and determination to now follow through to initiate the changes that are well nigh due. An affirmation for the upcoming New Moon on November 4th might be: I am powerful and capable of overcoming and taking on even the most daunting of challenges. 

Taurus

The New Moon in Scorpio on November 4th is a significant New Moon for many a Taurus, but especially those who are born between April 29th and May 4th, or who have 9-14º of Taurus Rising. However all Taureans should be feeling this one, due to its exact opposition to Uranus, now traveling in your sign. Uranus has been unraveling and revealing what sorts of changes you might want to make, in order to live your own best life. This New Moon could also be coming on the heels of some good news in this regard, so there could also be some reasons to be celebrating, or at the very least feeling hopeful. For the past several weeks we have all been asked to connect with some sort of higher vision or purpose, that would help you to fulfill your hopes and dreams of living your own best life. The Scorpio New Moon is also about those people who will help to facilitate that process for you. There’s no telling what you can achieve with the right help and allies. Therefore a good intention to sow with the New Moon in Scorpio on November 4th might be: May I meet the best people, and gather the best allies, who will support and help to further me along my path. 

Gemini

During the recent Mercury retrograde, you were being dared to look at the broken things in your life. The things that were no longer working, but you were probably trying to ignore. These were things that needed to be fixed, healed, or recalculated in order to allow you to be able to move forward. Now that Mercury is coming out of its shadow it’s allowing you to look at these parts of your life more objectively, while also reminding you of the good things in your life that make it all worth while. There may even be some good news or affirmations in the offing that will reassure you that you are indeed on track and moving in the right direction. And if not, then the advice will be there to get you back on that track. The New Moon on November 4th could be illuminating. Secrets from the past could even be revealed in this weather, showing you something that you hadn’t seen before. Be willing to be flexible and open to the messages or shifts in the wind that are occurring. A good affirmation for this upcoming New Moon might be: I accept my path and destiny, knowing that this is precisely where I need to be right now. 

Cancer

What was being illuminated in the light of the Full Moon on October 20th could not, nor would not be ignored. It was asking you to look at the broken things in your life, and what is or is no longer working. And may in fact be preventing you from growing. Whatever choices you may have already decided, or are in the process of making, know that a sense of empowerment arises when you know exactly what is right for you. And that is what the upcoming New Moon in Scorpio on November 4th is trying to show you. Use the momentum of the New Moon to make a commitment to have more joy in your life, and not compromise who you are, or what your dreams are. Reacquaint yourself with your hopes and dreams for the future, and your own inner child. And strive to be a better version of yourself. A good intention for this New Moon might be: I want to see myself making those sorts of connections that will lead me to a path of deeper understanding and happiness.

Leo

Know that by the New Moon on November 4th that anything that you may have been tolerating and putting up with, will no longer feel tolerable. Your patience will be wearing thin. And you will especially not tolerate being told what to do. In some way you are outgrowing our current (or in some cases, former) circumstances, and it is time to be free to explore these new and untried paths. With the New Moon on November 4th, make the intention to be open to the changes that are being brought to you, for they are trying to open up your life to possibility. Resisting them will be futile. It may take a little adjustment, but doing so will bring growth in ways that you might not have even thought previously possible. A good intention for this New Moon might be: I want to see myself cleansing, purifying and releasing those things that no longer serve the person I am becoming, and cultivating the things that do. 

Virgo

It could be that the winds of change are blowing a little more briskly than previously anticipated. Things could even seem to be moving more quickly, and more erratically than usual. If that is the case you may want to wait until the dust is settled, before making any major decisions. But one of the things that can happen, after the air is cleared again, is that you will be able to see things in another light and from another perspective. Something that you’ve been mulling over for the past several weeks probably can’t be ignored any longer. Mercury is coming out of its shadow, and with it comes a resolve to open up your perspective, and realign yourself with your hopes for the future. And kicking the can down the road is not going to get anything accomplished. Whatever problems may be standing in your way, are not likely to go away on their own. And if there is nothing to be done about your situation, see what you can change in your perspective that will allow you to accept your current circumstances for what they are. A good affirmation for this New Moon might be: I am endowed with the magical ability to transform problems into happiness.

Libra

The recent Full Moon on October 20th, could have been down right illuminating, showing you where and how you may need to adjust your perspective, and reorganize your priorities in order to be able to adapt to the ever-evolving circumstances of your life. Explore the ways that you have limited your own creative vision by placing extraordinary expectations on yourself. One thing the upcoming New Moon on November 4th is showing us is where we need more space and freedom to grow. Recognizing when you need to set appropriate boundaries, and your need to say no, will be helpful in navigating the weather ahead. It’s really about establishing a balance and coming to terms with what your true priorities are. And giving of your valuable time and energies, not because you have to, or feel obligated to, but because it comes from a place of joy. Make the affirmation with the New Moon in Scorpio: I embrace and honor the sacred cycle of reciprocity; opening my heart to giving with joy, while also receiving with gratitude.

Scorpio

The upcoming New Moon on November 4th, the New Moon in Scorpio is your annual New Moon. It sets the potential not only for the coming month, but for the full year ahead. This New Moon is a moon of great change and possibility. Those Scorpios that will be most affected by the current energies are those that are born between November 1st and the 7th, or who have 9-15º of Scorpio Rising. But it is likely that all Scorpios will be feeling some sort of significant changes in their lives over the year ahead. This is because the planet Uranus is sitting in the opposite sign of Taurus, compelling you to explore the ways that you can and are becoming a truer, more authentic version of yourself. This is a New Moon of personal initiative. And now that your ruling planet Mars, is entering your sign this weekend, you will only find yourself more directed, more determined than ever, to follow through with your objectives. As a healthy reminder to yourself, use the New Moon to set the affirmation that:  I am profound and have depths of potential as yet unrealized.

Sagittarius

Leading up to the New Moon next week there could be some good news, and/or confirmation that you are moving in the right direction. One thing that Sagittarius is fully aware of, is that positive outlooks reap positive results. It’s all in the perspective. This is a good week to share your hopes and plans with others, while still being open in order to see connections and possibilities that you may have overlooked before. And then in the shadowy light of the Scorpio New Moon on November 4th, explore what needs to be released from the past, in order for you to embrace your dreams. What are you willing to let go of in order to make your goals a closer reality? Are you willing to, perhaps, do with less in order to have a better quality of life, or to pursue a more meaningful path? And if so, you should begin to see some of the benefits of doing so. A good intention for this New Moon might be: I want to easily see myself letting go of the past, in order to achieve greater peace and security in my life.

Capricorn

Many a Capricorn has been contending with what may feel like forces much larger than themselves. This can bring feelings of desperation, or even powerlessness as you struggle against forces over which you don’t seem to have any control or influence. It may be that you are being forced to face things that you would much rather not have to deal with. And the wheels of fate can appear to be inexorable. But there’s really no telling which way the tides are going to turn in this weather. The upcoming New Moon in Scorpio on November 4th is the wishing moon for Capricorn. And in light of any recent changes, or possible changes to come, you might want to re-orient yourself with what your hopes and wishes are for the future, as well as what it means to own your own power and personal agency. If you are considering making intentions or affirmations with this New Moon, make it a point to include the affirmation, that: When I embrace my own power, I become an instrument for positive change in the world and in my own life.

Aquarius

Now that Saturn and Jupiter are direct again, it should become more evident how you and your life are on the cusp of change and transformation. When Jupiter and Saturn entered your sign almost 1 year ago, they did so with the promise that new possibilities are going to be emerging on the horizon. And they are taking you along for the ride. The New Moon in Scorpio on November 4th is trying to open your eyes to the possibilities that are and can be unfolding before you. It may seem like these are constantly evolving and changing from day to day. So know that it will also be necessary for you to remain flexible, in order to accommodate the changing circumstances as they arise. Out of the shadows of the New Moon in Scorpio, new possibilities may be conspiring to change those circumstances yet again. So hold on to your hat, and set the affirmation with the upcoming New Moon, that Out of the ashes of the past, I have the ability to recreate a better and more meaningful future.

Pisces

The upcoming New Moon in Scorpio, on November 4th, is trying to point you towards the fulfillment of your true potential. One way that can happen is by broadening your horizons along with your expectations. That can include opening up your mind and your perspective to larger possibilities, or different ways of looking at the world and your role in it. Anything that will broaden your perspective will be welcomed this week, whether that means becoming more informed on a subject, going somewhere you’ve never been before, or engaging in illuminating conversations. Some how your world is daring to get that much larger and more meaningful. A good intention for this New Moon might be: May I easily find myself motivated to make those changes in my life that will allow my perspective, my knowledge and my understanding to continue to grow in remarkable ways.
