Let Go to Evolve with the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Scorpio

This new Moon in Scorpio eclipse is very interesting in that it occurs in conjunction with the planet Venus. Both the sun and Venus enter Scorpio on October 23rd. This creates amplified Scorpio energy with the sun, moon, and Venus all together in what is called a conjunction. The conjunction of this new moon eclipse with Venus can bring deep emotional revelations when it comes to our relationships, finances, and value systems. It is important to remember that the beginnings and endings associated with this new moon solar eclipse are for our ultimate healing and transformation.

We are encouraged to really consider how the relationships, finances, and value systems that we currently hold on could possibly limit our ability to accept the new transformative experiences offered through this new solar eclipse in Scorpio.

Likewise, this particular solar eclipse is also aligned with the nodal axis which is currently transiting in with the north node in Taurus and the South node Scorpio. The nodes in astrology represent our destiny and path to soul fulfillment.

This further accentuates the fact that it is important for us to let go of anything that we are holding onto that could keep us from honoring the transformative healing energy that will bring us new starts. With this eclipse happening on the south node of Scorpio, it is vital that we consider the old grudges, vengeful tactics, issues with partners and loved ones, betrayals, and anything else that has us stewing in the negativity and toxicity that keeps us from higher-level, transformative, healing energy of Scorpio.

The combination of the sun, the moon, Venus, and the south node in Scorpio at the time of this eclipse is no coincidence. This heightened Scorpio energy encourages us to do the deep, uncomfortable work of getting to the bottom of our behavior patterns and ways of living that keep us from transforming into the highest expression of ourselves.

New beginnings are with us under this new eclipse in Scorpio and because of the eclipse energy, we are likely to feel the effects for up to a year after its occurrence.

Eclipsing Out What Doesn’t Belong

Eclipse energy is quite potent at bringing in and removing anything that is unnecessary. Since Scorpio and Pluto energy is highlighted at this eclipse intensely, it is important for us to get ready to experience whatever is necessary to evolve.

Too often we hold on to people, places, things, and circumstances that we think we need or out of a sense of familiarity. However, these things don’t necessarily allow us to evolve in a manner that is most beneficial to us.

With this new moon eclipse in Scorpio, especially with its attachment to the south node in Scorpio, we are being encouraged to genuinely let go…and this time for good. Scorpio energy is fixed in its nature so when there are endings and beginnings they are usually permanent. So, whatever it is that we are letting go of at this eclipse it is important that we leave it alone for good.

While this may make many upset, particularly those who are resistant to change, this new moon eclipse in Scorpio is a reminder that we aren’t just here to be comfortable. We are here to evolve and become the best versions of ourselves.

The only way to genuinely do this is to occasionally look around and assess whether or not we are keeping ourselves stuck in the muck of familiarity, old grudges, the commonplace, outdated value systems, shallow relationships, and much more.

If we should experience something being eclipsed out of our lives permanently under this eclipse, it is for our highest good…even if we can’t see it at the moment. Scorpio energy seeks that which is authentic and true, in order to embody this energy and have it within our lives at these new beginnings, it is necessary to suss out what is not working so that when we do take these new starts forward we are doing so from a place of healing, authenticity, and truth.

Honoring The Darkness to Heal

This new moon eclipse in Scorpio is likely to dredge up the darkness that many tend to avoid. Scorpio energy is no punk, and this new moon solar eclipse gives us the ability to see things for what they are even if we don’t really want to. Sometimes we have to experience extreme events in order for us to stop with the façades and get to the truth of our realities.

This type of eclipse energy is likely to bring in events such as betrayals, births, deaths, near-death experiences, rock-bottom experiences, high-life experiences, and much more. The commonality of these experiences is that it presents an extreme that makes us stop and think about the circumstances that we are dealing with, and how we’re going to move forward.

It is possible that this eclipse will have the effect reminiscent of pulling a bandage off of a wound. The eclipse is going to shed light on the fact that you can’t heal what is ignored. In order to live an authentic life and to have new beginnings that are an expression of who we truly are, we have to be willing to deal with everything in its rawest form. So, it is important that we deal with the uncomfortable in order to embrace the new beginnings that this new moon solar eclipse in Scorpio offers.

Now, there is a cautionary warning about avoiding the trappings of the dark side that can occur with Scorpio energy. Because Scorpio energy can be extreme some people go into the darkness and remain there. Instead of using this reflective energy to discover what needs to be addressed in order to heal and transform, some people just get stuck in the muck of revenge, betrayal, and obsession, and they let it consume them. So, beware of getting stuck in the dark. Remember, Scorpio is all about evolution.

Become the Phoenix

Just as a checkpoint, if we really want to know whether or not we are embodying the positive aspects of this new moon in Scorpio solar eclipse, we can ask ourselves if our current experiences are leading us to growth, evolution, and transformation. If not, it’s most definitely time to let go. We know innately when a person, place, circumstance, etc. have reached the end.

We know when a relationship is no longer serving our highest good. We know when we are no longer a fit for a profession.

Unfortunately, it’s easy to avoid this knowing via distractions, projections, and other skillful tactics we use to avoid being accountable and responsible for ourselves.

However, the caterpillar can never reach the state of being a butterfly if it is not willing to let go of the past. To evolve into something new, the old can’t go with us.

Ultimately, this new moon solar eclipse in Scorpio is all about letting go to evolve. Even if it seems as if we’re taking a loss, it’s actually a release of what is necessary in order for us to become the phoenix rising and the caterpillar that is now the butterfly.
