New Moon in Scorpio: plant what's true

The New Moon arrives at 2:03 this morning at 17° Scorpio, Day 1 of a new cycle and the first of the three days of the New Moon. Scorpio plants in deep soil: truth, intimacy, power, and what you've kept hidden, even from yourself. The Moon squares Mars, Jupiter and the Nodes, and an old Leo way is stirring right under the new seed. Check where Leo and Scorpio is if you have your own chart.

Set intentions today on this New Moon, put one hand on your heart and one on your belly, and breathe. Then write one I AM sentence about the power you're already able to own, and recognize your gains. Planting in lack is not the path to success. Scorpio asks: what of myself am I ready to reveal? With Mercury and Venus both turning direct from their retrograde by Saturday, know that these past weeks have been highly unpredictable and disruptive. The Full Moon in Gemini on the 24th is going to bring more options!

From the Grimoire

Scorpio is where we meet with the truth that is. Not the potential, not the possibility, not the vision of what could be: it is actually what is.
