STAR 🌟NOTES November 1, 2024
Star friends,✨ Salut,
Welcome to the profound magic of the New Moon in Scorpio, exact at 8:47 am ET on November 1. When the Sun flows into Scorpio from late October to late November, we gradually enter the dark mystery of night in which our senses open up to feel beyond the physical realm and surrender into a flow that is more metaphysical, multidimensional, shamanic, spiritual, and ultimately divine in nature.
It is truly fascinating to observe and feel how ancient festivals and sacred ceremonies like Samhain, Halloween, All Soul’s Day, Dia de los Muertos, and Remembrance Day, all happen in Scorpio season. This is a deeply reflective time of year that calls for more self care, self love, and nourishment for the body, mind, heart and soul. Take your time to read these messages and feel free to share what you think and feel as I love to read your comments. Thank you for joining me.
The zeitgeist of this time is intense, transformative, and is accelerating change and evolution at an unprecedented pace. Since reality is changing so quickly, we need to create sacred space every day for calming, breathing, reflection and simply being. Scorpio season teaches us to focus our awareness on living life with more ritual, ceremony and intention. In this deeper state of mind, Scorpio can alchemize more creativity, and manifestation magic, especially relative to the areas of your birthchart energized by 9º of Scorpio. Plant your New Moon seeds of intention deep into the fertile garden of your soul power.
There are 6 planets in water signs at the time of this New Moon. The Sun, Moon and Mercury are in Scorpio, Mars is in Cancer, and Saturn and Neptune are in Pisces. This tremendous amount of water energy can bring increased rains, tidal waves and flooding in some areas of the world, but on an emotional level, it is important to understand and simply accept that the element of water increases our sensitivity and feeling intelligence. This New Moon invites us to explore and express deeper feelings. The boost in water magic also boosts our sense of interconnectedness and compassion to help us feel more unified in this collective experience. From a more cosmic point of view, we are all together on a giant blue spaceship travelling in new corridors of galactic space that is more brightly charged with increased solar activations and the luminous photon belt.
“As our knowledge of the cosmos has deepened, so has our knowledge of the human mind and psyche.” ~ Steven Forrest. Scorpio ignites our psyche with a sharper focus, emotional strength and powerful intuitive awareness. Scorpio can see and feel through deception and illusion, into the deeper motivations in people, nature and cosmic rhythms. As the archetypal Detective and Shaman, the Scorpio part of our nature yearns to investigate the darker mysteries in order to bring truth, healing, magic and wholeness to anyone and any situation. In the face of challenging situations, we instantly feel a spark of deep resolve, fierce presence and courage.
The most important and powerful planetary configuration in this New Moon sky involves Mars in Cancer opposite Pluto in Capricorn. This connection has been building momentum for several days in late October and will be exact on November 3 and 4, but we will feel it for many days after. In fact, Mars and Pluto will come back into an opposition in early January and also in April 2025. So the themes being activated internally for all of us, and externally this fall, like the U.S. election for example, will resonate until the spring.
The synergy created by Mars and Pluto can be formidable and uncomfortable, for sure; however, it can also inspire and ignite a bold new flame in the fire of our heart, which is the central connection point between our soul and body. This energizes an impulse to create and express our inner soul light and power as an empowered, sovereign being. When we connect with our soul intelligence, we can access our past journeys and soul mission in this lifetime. “You need to stay connected to yourself as soul and as a wider, greater human. You can help to alchemize the density because of the vibe you are holding. You can become a powerful vessel of change in any area of life.” ~ Lee Harris, Initiation 2024.
This New Moon in Scorpio deeply stimulates our sense of personal agency and collective empowerment. I believe that this potent Mars and Pluto plus the North Node in Aries is inspiring us to cultivate our power in creating our own reality with more consistently positive and empowering thoughts and actions. "What can I do today that will help to empower myself and the world?” It is time to release our inner genius, maverick, and sacred rebel to stand up for ourself and for others around us. I just felt called to sing and share this lyric from Bob Marley and the Wailers. “You can fool some people sometimes but you can’t fool all the people all the time. So now we see the light, stand up for our rights.” ~ The Wailers, Get up, Stand up.
Pluto is days away from finally leaving Capricorn, where it has been since 2008, and entering Aquarius on November 19, and stay there for 20 years! This is a massive shift in paradigm and collective consciousness, and I will write more about that in subsequent Star Notes.
Like the great Phoenix rising, humanity is experiencing a radical metamorphosis, transformation, regeneration and rebirth, embodying the next octave in human evolution. As the energetics of transformation are very fertile at this time, we need to allow the power of our heart-led soul fire into our body and in our life in a bigger way.
I am very excited to announce a new series of expanded astrology workshops starting in January 2025, virtually and live in Sudbury! Please stay tuned for more information and details coming out soon. In the meantime, I invite you to reach out if you feel called to explore the powerful soul magic in your own birthchart. You can also find me on Patreon, which helps to support my work to create these Star Notes. Merci infiniment pour votre soutien.
Big love,
Richard ❤️
