“Though I think and speak of greater becoming, I, too, am an infinite work in progress.” T. F. Hodge
Today’s New Moon in “transformational” Scorpio, at 22 degrees (5:08 pm EST), is also a Total Solar Eclipse, a phenomenon which occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, and the Moon fully blocks out the face of the Sun. The impact of an eclipse can last for up to 3 to 6 months. However, eclipses often seem to be most keenly felt about a week before, and then for a few days afterwards.
While Eclipses are highly charged events that tend to “speed things up,” this does not mean that they should necessarily be construed as either good or bad in themselves, although, in ancient times, eclipses were often viewed in a more negative or dubious manner. This perception, however, was probably due simply to a lack of astronomical knowledge.
Every New Moon is a chance for us to experience new beginnings. It is a time when we set our intentions for the new month. Today’s New Moon Eclipse in Scorpio highlights the themes of this sign: shared resources, sex, intimacy, money, power, renewal, elimination, mysteries, metaphysics, things of a hidden nature. We will want to be setting our intentions around some of those themes now.
Scorpio is also a water sign, which governs our emotions. In complex Scorpio, we tend to feel things very deeply. It is also a sign that often finds us grappling with extreme scenarios / or opposing archetypes. On a metaphoric level, Scorpio is known for shining a bright light into our dark caves, giving us a chance to integrate the submerged or unconscious forces, with our conscious awareness.
Scorpio is additionally the sign of passion and our deepest desires. It is often only when we are living out our passions, doing what we truly enjoy, that we feel most alive and revitalized (transformed), when we genuinely sense or feel in sync with our life’s purpose. In many cases, too, the pathway that leads us to a more passionate, fulfilling lifestyle is only discovered after we have traversed through the “valley of (Scorpio) elimination,” removing from our lives whatever is blocking or hindering our authentic self-expression.
Too, often what needs to go on the chopping block first, before we can really come alive and grow in awareness of our self purpose, are other people’s expectations for us. Included here, would be the societal norms or dictates for our behavior, which can often significantly thwart our creativity and diminish our self-esteem.
Today’s New Moon Eclipse is not receiving any major planetary aspects to it. Perhaps this means that it is free to do its own “transformational thing” in our lives, without any interference.
Intellectual Mercury is also retrograde in unbridled Sagittarius, forming another exact square to foggy Neptune in Pisces (7:02 pm EST), the same aspect that we had during the last Full Moon in Taurus and the arrival of hurricane Sandy (Neptune). With Mercury-Neptune aligned, there is always the chance for some mental confusion, or missing information.
On a collective level, a top story in the news (Mercury) now is former CIA Director, David Petraeus, and his alleged extra-marital affair (Scorpio) with his female biographer, a scandalous (Neptune) matter that abruptly caused him to resign from his post as head of the CIA, an intelligence-gathering organization with an inherently secretive (Scorpionic) mission.
This whole story also, of course, unfolding in the days leading up to today’s potent Scorpio New Moon Eclipse, giving many of us a chance, perhaps, to also reflect upon the complicated nature of our own intimate desires (Scorpio), and how they can sometimes radically impact or shape our behavior – and not always in very flattering ways. Also, with the Eclipse today, the Petraeus sex scandal reportedly has widened to include more individuals, even the current U.S. NATO Commander in Afghanistan. Some are also reportedly already jokingly referring to the matter “as the curse of the commander’s job.” (Fox News).
“Someone told me the delightful story of the crusader who put a chastity belt on his wife and gave the key to his best friend for safekeeping, in case of his death. He had ridden only a few miles away when his friend, riding hard, caught up with him, saying ‘You gave me the wrong key!” Anais Nin.

10th house eclipse for me. I got a temp job after a 3rd house full moon interview end of october and now in christmas employment, though now my dream job .
I’m hoping this eclipse season opens up new more permanent and fulfilling work in the next ..short while
Looking forward to my 5th house lunar eclipse too!:0)
I hope you can also find permanent work with it, too. Did the eclipse degree happen to fall on any planets in your 10th house, or make tight aspects to planets in other houses?
Natal Neptune 26 deg (08/22/69 England) I’m hoping for a bit of ‘light’ relief after this hard year. This is my first job this year. I certainly have done my 4th house opposite homework, now I want to make that transition careerwise, a bit of glitz wouldn’t go a miss! x
Keeping my fingers crossed for you. BTW, I know a writer with her natal neptune in scorpio at the same degree as yours. Her Neptune is in her 9th house. She also is a film-maker. What kind of work have you done? What would you like to do?
Thanks, I’d really love to write in some form. Wow film making sounds fab. I feel like communication in some way is my path forward, be it spoken or written. Trusting god and my ability to grab opportunity when the time is right. Life teaches you then you come in too your own I suppose. My 3rd house saturn is now in the 9th hse transit. I guess I have to share what I’ve learnt. Thanks Patrice!
“My 3rd house saturn is now in the 9th hse transit. I guess I have to share what I’ve learnt.” Perhaps, too, how sharing what you believe, i.e. your philosophy of life?
Bless you, Amen to that! x
For over a year I have been inundate with thoughts, emotions and dreams of a person from horrible relationship that ended over 14 years ago. I am praying this energy will finally purge him out of my system. I did not want to be with him for a reason.
It does sound like you still have some unfinished emotional business with this particular relationship that your subconscious still needs to process. Have you ever tried journaling about your feelings regarding this relationship? Scorpio does also rule psychotherapy. It may be that professional counseling would be very beneficial for you now.
In my case the eclipse conjuncts Uranus and IC, squares my sun, mercury and mars (22º, 24º and 17º aquarius) in House VI, and also squares my moon at 18º leo (XII house), so I guess this one has my name on it.
I guess it will help me decide for once what career path should I take: astrology vs management..
Wow, you do have the Eclipse aspecting a lot of planets in your chart! What is your heart calling you to do, career-wise?
True..
My passion is definitely astrology and all matters related to human psyche. I believe I can help people to see beyond (natal Pluto at 19º Libra trine all planets in aquarius and sextil moon in leo) and also a beautiful trine between moon and neptune (houses XII and IV), but I’m still not sure. I guess Saturn to blame in my 1st house..
I’ve prepared all my life to a management career (I have a MBA and everything) but my true calling is something different. I am lacking courage right now and I fear I condemn my life to mediocrity if I don’t make the right choice.
On one hand there is so much prejudice regarding astrology, on the other hand I feel I could help change that.
Let’s see what the future holds for me.. One thing is sure, I need to decide because I am unemployed for too long now..
Maybe I’ll find something that fits this mix between astrology and psycology that suits me better. Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance for your reply and interest 🙂
It sounds like to me that you are already quite clear regarding the proper career path for yourself. You just perhaps need to take the bull by the horns and start doing it. What do you think? “My passion is definitely astrology and all matters related to human psyche.”…”Maybe I’ll find something that fits this mix between astrology and psychology that suits me better.”
You also are probably in a much better position to succeed at your own business due to the MBA training, which I see as a big plus for you.
Have you ever made any money with astrology? Have you also thought about doing Coaching? You could perhaps incorporate the astrology into your practice, which is what I do.
Hi Patrice, thanks for your reply 🙂
Actually it’s not that simple .. I have never made money with astrology because I don’t feel ready yet. I need to deepen my knowledge to feel more secure.
These days have been quite intense and I hope a solution is there for me in short time.. Either way I’ll never stop studying it and even if a job in management appears, I think that I’ll end up make of it a part-time.
I guess I have to trust the Universe, right?
Yes, trust the Universe and definitely trust yourself to make the right call for yourself. Too, don’t be afraid or overly concerned if you maybe don’t have all of the pieces to that big career puzzle now. More of those little suckers will be arriving as you continue to journey down your path.
Thanks! You’re very kind 🙂
