Intense New Moon In Scorpio:

Powerful Shift Connects Us To Our Darker Side

After an intense month, this Moon offers some gentle repose and quiet reflection, inviting us to open ourselves to insights previously resisted.

Wherever we find ourselves at this New Moon we are reminded that self-acceptance is foundational to peace of mind.

If we listen to our self-talk and it’s harsh and bullying, critical or dismissive, this Moon insists that first, we care for ourselves as we would a treasured friend.

When we release our secrets, burdens, and grudges, our spirits can soar and our hearts open, and it gives Spirit more room to work through our lives.

This New Moon in Scorpio helps us align with the Dark, to commune with the hidden mysteries within us – the unformed, the unspoken. Scorpio, the fixed, power sign for water, plunges us into the cycle of death, regeneration, and rebirth.

This is a time when you find yourself looking within, seeking to understand yourself more truly. Look at the areas in your life that need healing. Some of it may be physical, but much of it is probably emotional.

Contemplate the way you respond to any situation or crisis. Do you overreact? Do you panic? Do you make the Wicked Witch of the West look like Mother Teresa?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you may want to take a look at your personal triggers.

Generally speaking, where your reaction is the strongest is where your greatest pain resides. See if there’s a link with a childhood trauma that keeps you behaving in ways that can be embarrassing for you.  Don’t expect to change overnight, but at least try to recognize patterns that keep reemerging.

Be honest with yourself. Play detective with your life by charting some of the best and worst moments you can remember. Try to sit still long enough and insights will come. Make a commitment to tackle a few of these demons.

Throw everything into the fire that no longer serves you. Honor your ancestors and their dreams.

Use your power for healing work, and begin to visualize what you want to grow when the light begins to increase again.

This full moon happens just before the moon reaches perigee, its closest distance to Earth.

When the moon becomes officially full on Saturday, Nov. 4, at 1:22 a.m. EDT (0522 GMT), it will be 226,179 miles (364,004 kilometers) away from Earth.It will reach perigee on Sunday (Nov. 5) at 7:10 p.m. EDT (0010 GMT), when the moon is only 224,587 miles (361,438 kilometers) away.

A supermoon is defined as a full moon that occurs when the moon is at perigee. So, if the Beaver Moon were to come just one day later, it would be a “super” Beaver Moon.

In New York City, the moon will rise Friday (Nov. 3) at 5:57 p.m. local time and set the next day (Nov. 4) at 7:40 a.m., according to timeanddate.com.

Since the sun will rise at 7:30 a.m. on Nov. 4 in New York City, if you are near a flat horizon (or viewing from a rooftop or a tall building), the full moon and the sun will briefly share the sky.

Situated in Cetus

The full moon’s path through the sky won’t pass through any of the 12 constellations of the traditional zodiac.This happens because of the ecliptic — the apparent path that the sun, moon, and planets take across the sky — passes just a quarter of a degree from the boundary of the non-zodiac constellation Cetus, the Sea Monster. 

Constellation boundaries, set by the International Astronomical Union, don’t usually correspond to the old zodiacal signs.

So, even when the moon is in the constellation Cetus, traditional astrology would place it in the sign of Taurus.

Because the moon’s orbit is inclined 5 degrees to the ecliptic, it’s not unusual that it would slip into that constellation; a similar phenomenon happens with some summertime full moons that pass into Ophiuchus, which isn’t a part of the zodiac either.

A stellar occultation

Supermoons can appear 30 percent brighter and up to 14 percent larger than typical full moons. 

Besides passing into Cetus, the Moon will also pass in front of Aldebaran, the brightest star in Taurus, on the nights of Nov. 5 to 6, just after it becomes full.

When one celestial body blocks another, it is called an occultation.

This event will be visible from much of the eastern half of the United States, and observers as far south as Miami will be able to catch it.

People on the western edge of the zone, where the occultation is visible, will catch the latter half as it starts before moonrise. 

In Europe, the southernmost areas where skywatchers will be able to see the occultation of Aldebaran will be in Paris and Munich.

Farther east, the moon will be set before it finishes passing in front of Aldebaran. 

For New York City, the occultation will start at 8:01 p.m. and end at 8:56 p.m. Chicagoans will see it begin at 7:03 p.m. local time and end at about 7:55 p.m.

From New Orleans, viewers will only see the ends of the occultation at 7:38 p.m. local time, as Aldebaran, will already be behind the moon when it rises. In Miami, Aldebaran disappears at 7:50 p.m. local time and reappears at 8:27 p.m. 

On the other side of the Atlantic, Londoners will see Aldebaran disappear behind the moon at 2:38 a.m. local time and reappear at 3:23 a.m.

Parisians will catch it at 3:51 a.m.; it will end at 4:20 a.m.

Beavers (and bears) brace for winter

According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, the name of the full moon in November is “Full Beaver Moon”; that is when beavers become active as they get ready for winter. 

Many of our “traditional” full moon names were related to native peoples in northeastern North America. According to the Ontario Native Literacy Coalition, the Ojibwe called it Mnidoons Giizisoonhg, the Little Spirit Moon.

For the Ojibwe, it was the twelfth month, and it was a time for spiritual reflection ahead of the new year. 

In the Pacific Northwest, the Tlingit called it Kukahaa Dís, the Scraping Moon, as it occurs when bears would begin to prepare their dens. A neighboring group, the Haida call it Cha’aaw Kungaay or “bears hibernate.” 

In the southern hemisphere, November marks late spring. The Māori of New Zealand described the lunar months in October to November as Whiringa-ā-range, or “It has now become summer, and the sun has acquired strength,” according to the Encyclopedia of New Zealand. 

In China, the traditional lunar calendar marks the November lunation as the ninth month.

(This was true in the west as well; the very name “November” means ninth month – starting the year in January was a post-medieval invention.) Called Júyuè, Chrysanthemum month, it’s named for the blooming of the eponymous flower.

November 4 Frost Moon In Taurus – This Full Moon Energy Is POTENT!

The November full moon is not too far away, and this month it is known as the ‘Frost Moon’. Full moons are related to myths and legends and the Native Americans typically gave a unique name to the one that occurred each month which we still use today.

But what exactly is November’s Frost Moon, and when is the exact time to see it? Here is what we can look forward to from the full moon this month.

When is November’s, Frost Moon? The Frost Moon falls on 4 November 2017 – and will be at its brightest at 6.23am.Why is it called the Frost Moon? The name given to Frost Moon is because frosts begin to occur towards the end of autumn.

Frost Moon is also known as the Beaver Moon. There are two interpretations for this name.

One theory comes from the Native Americans setting beaver traps during this month, and another says the name comes from the heavy activity of beavers building their winter dams.

The other notion is backed up by the Old Farmer’s Almanac who said that the Algonquin Native American tribes, as well as

American colonists, called the November full moon the Beaver Moon because ‘this was the time to set beaver traps before the swamps froze, to ensure a supply of warm winter furs.’

So, what can we expect with this powerful Full Moon?

This Full Moon is especially good for Taureans, Cancerians, Virgos, Scorpios, Capricorns and Pisceans, but it’s more challenging for everyone else.

The energy is… Earthy and steady. There is going to be some grounding work, and finding your place will finally feel natural to you after a long time of not knowing exactly where you are heading.There are some things you will want to keep in mind if you are trying to connect with the full energy of this Frost Moon.

Start by asking yourself a few questions to see where you should do the most work.

Top 5 questions to ask yourself around the time of the Full Moon in Taurus

1. Have I been lazy or overly self-indulgent this month?

2. Have I been too obsessed with money or status symbols?

3. Have I been stubborn, jealous or possessive?

4. Have I been doing too much comfort-eating?

5. Have I done enough exercise?

Stop giving your energy away to others so needlessly and start using some of it for your own life and purposes.It is great to help others, but remember to help yourself too.

The astrology of full moon November 2017 is mainly influenced by Neptune. A positive link to this spiritual planet will make you more sensitive, intuitive, emotional and romantic.

The Frost moon is also influenced by a strongly placed Venus. This planet of love is in the same place as the earlier new moon on October 19.

This will enhance the good fortune of the new moon and bring friendship, love, and romance, but only if you are patient, open-minded and flexible.

Full Moons can be emotional times and it’s important to work with the energies that the Full Moon brings up.

Remember the Full Moon is the time to release anything that no longer serves you.
