This month’s Scorpio New Moon hits the reset button. It’s the second eclipse of the month, as the cosmic change agents clear the decks and compel a reboot of our lives.
Unpredictable Uranus, agent of radical, liberating change, ignited the Aries lunar eclipse on the 8th and set off firecrackers of revelations, bridge burning and chapter closings. Now Pluto, agent of inevitable, inescapable change, is wiping the slate and shoving us into what we perceive as darkness.
His participation is only one of the factors behind the profound metamorphosis we’re entering. Pluto, the ruler of Scorpio and this new moon, is the lord of death and rebirth. The Scorpio New Moon is also a solar eclipse, which blacks out the action and brings the light gradually back up on a rearranged stage. Making this particular eclipse even more intense is the moon’s location, in the rawest possible spot of Scorpio: not merely the very first degree, but only three minutes into the sign.
The stakes are extraordinarily high, for ourselves and all of our connections, because Venus is at ground zero of the eclipse. She’s the ruler of what we hold dear (love, money, possessions, beauty, creativity), what we value about ourselves (self-worth issue alert!) and our value systems in general. She and Pluto are the two planets of desire and money, worldly and conscious on her end, huge and primal on his.
