It's no wonder Scorpio is the most intense sign of the Zodiac -- it has long been reputed as the sign of death and rebirth. The emotions and intuition of Scorpios run deep, and they have an aggression to them that helps them accomplish goals and, at times, trigger transformation in others. Scorpios have a mysterious magnetism to them, and often are charismatic, fierce leaders. The downside to this is that when they act from their shadow, Scorpios can be incredibly obsessive, competitive, and manipulative.
They know darkness, and they know how to work with it to get what they want, for better or for worse. When they learn to master their shadow, they often become healers and utilize the regenerative power of their sign to transform the lives of others, and society itself. Overall, Scorpios are decisive, emotionally-intelligent, tenacious people with a strong drive to accomplish whatever they set their mind to. If their darkness doesn't conquer them, they are sure to rise like an alchemical phoenix from the ashes into a powerful and passionate leader.
About the new moon in Scorpio:
The new moon in Scorpio is a time to look at what is most taboo -- birth, death, sex, and transformation. Specifically, the healing work that this new moon most deeply supports is around healing sexual trauma so that we can connect to our most innocent sensual nature and feel deep pleasure -- especially in mundane day-to-day life. Sexuality and sensuality are sacred, and far beyond the act of sex. They are our creative life-force energy, and this new moon illuminates a pathway of healing for us so that we can connect to what makes us come most fully alive and in our personal power.
We can use our sexual energy to amplify our intentions and heal ourselves and our world -- and when we heal our relationship to sex and sexuality, we become powerful creators and manifestors. The challenges that this new moon provides us are to remain balanced and aligned in our erotic innocence, and to create from a place of purity. It’s important to wield our sexuality in a positive way, and not to utilize it to manipulate or compete. Rather, this new moon reminds us that we must wield our feminine power to create beauty, healing and opportunity in life. To heal your relationship to sexuality and sensuality, join a Sister Circle near you.
