new moon in scorpio

what triggers memory?

for me its the light. i'll walk outside and i am carried to another time when the weather was the same. i remember a good memory.it pops in. im 17 riding my bike to my waitress job. riding in the dark at 6 a.m. . that magical time of day. betwixt and between light and dark. another 30 mins of dark at the most, wind whipping the crisp air making branches snap and leafs rustle loudly.

 i feel good, safe and free . my liberator is the wind in my hair. breathing deeply pumping my legs up and down on my 3 speed blue and silver Schwinn. i feel physically strong. i loved that bike ride to work. i miss it. it was early. i was going to my job to earn money to take care of my self.  free myself from a house full of hurts. this moment of riding to work in the dark alone is a good one. i was finding a way out.

a rare moment. most days i lived in fear, not knowing when the next hurt was coming.

there was something else too. what was it again? dammit.

the new moon scorpio is full of hope for joy and change. there is potential. i feel it.  

A new moon in Scorpio is raw power. A new moon in Scorpio introduces us to ours. A new moon in Scorpio comes with an air of intensity and asks us what we might put the pedal to the metal for. A new moon in Scorpio strips us down and demands that we claim what we are at the core. This new moon is the beginning of some much-deserved access to abundance. This new moon is the beginning of seeing what you can and have done with the trials and tribulations of the past few years. This new moon I urge you to do ritual around ease, effortlessness and all parts of your life that are naturally free-flowing.This week, before, during and after the new moon are also particularly potent times as you become the conduit for much of the astrology to flow through. This week focuses on healing subterranean traumas, but this time somewhat effortlessly. Like when you work on an issue for 30 years and one day you realize it simply doesn’t have the same hold on you that it used to.

This behind the scenes bargaining is important for you to be engaged with. Your inner hecklers and internalized oppressors could be taunting you, dissuading you and confusing the issues but tell yourself that you have it on good faith that this is your time to begin anew with courage, with optimism and with good sense. It’s also the perfect time to keep working away at what you’ve got cooking behind the scenes. This particular mix of energies requires that your success comes from being willing to balance going within and taking action.

Your efforts now will take root and they will rise. chani nicholas
