the november moon
This month the moon begins its cycle at 9° 35’ Scorpio.
This New Moon will be on 1st November @10:47pm in Melbourne, 11/47am in London and 4:47am in San Francisco.
The New Moon in Scorpio may feel a little darker than usual, but it is all about starting a new cycle so why not lean into this opportunity to delve a little deeper into what you may be feeling at this time. If you have any planets or points at this degree in Scorpio or any other fixed sign (Taurus, Leo or Aquarius) you may be drawn in a little bit more than others.
On November 16th @ 7:48am Melbourne, 15th @8:48pm London, 15th @12:48pm San Francisco, the Moon in Full at 24° Taurus 01’.
Whatever led you into the darkness at the New Moon may now reveal its truth. As the moon wanes over the next week or so, allow time to process your emotions and find a place where they can settle within your body. Under the Taurean full moon, find a pleasurable way to consolidate what has come to light for you – it may be journalling on some beautiful paper, finding your voice to express through song, moving emotions through your body in dance or some other form of movement. This will all help to integrate knowledge into wisdom as the moon wanes back to new.
Your Moon Phase
Each one of us is born under a particular phase of the Moon. When interpreting the natal chart, the relationship between the Sun and Moon at the time of birth adds another level of insight into how their luminary influence impacts personality. Those born when the Moon is waxing through the new, crescent, first quarter or gibbous phases will display different traits than those born as the Moon wanes from full, disseminating, last quarter to balsamic phase.
For example, if you were born when the Moon was in Aries, your reactions would be impulsive, full of energy and somewhat domineering. If this Moon in Aries was in its first quarter phase at the time you were born, this will add another hit of Martian like energy of being strong willed, self-motivated with the tendency to attract crisis into your life. That’s a whole lot of emotional dynamism right there!
November Moon Tracker
If you know your Moon Sign and better still, if you know the Moon Phase you were born under, the table below will give you the dates of when the Moon will transition through the zodiac and phases this month. These dates are for Melbourne so if you’re somewhere else in the world, the date may vary slightly.
It’s an interesting process to note when the moon may be “hitting” on your moon sign and notice how you’re feeling when it does.
