Every Scorpio new moon contains seeds for renewal, and while this fact remains true of this new moon, it could take some fancy footwork to channel it.
Since Mars is Scorpio's ancient ruler (and its modern subruler), he has an intimate understanding of the sign, including its immense powers of destruction, transformation and renewal. Given that this is a new moon, Mars will energize it with a can-do energy that will promote a transformative new beginning and/or renewal.
However,where things get a bit messy is that this trio (Sun, Moon, Mars) opposes Uranus, an unstable, defiant, inflammatory and stressful influence that promotes a sense of uncertainty, anxiety and irritability in the New Moon, as well as taunts and antagonizes Mars.
If you're not careful, this is where the wheels might fall off the wagon.
Given the jarring energy of the opposition, many of you (especially if you're sensitive or have a planet or sensitive point at or near 20° of Scorpio, Taurus, Leo or Aquarius) will feel on edge around this time.
Even if you're not on edge, should you feel threatened, insulted or disrespected in any way, you're likely to react quickly, strongly and in extreme cases, get involved in a physical altercation. On the other hand, you could be on the receiving end of someone else's wrath if they feel you vilified them in some way.
In either case, whether or not it's actually true is another story, because this influence isn't about truth, clarity or fairness. It's about impulsive and potentially unrestrained emotional and physical reactions.
Of course, if you're mindful of the energy and take action to avoid potential conflicts, you should have no problem, but the truth is there are times that no matter how much we try to avoid a person or a situation, we end up running into them.
And in that case, there's a release valve for it. And it's name is Neptune.
You see, although the New Moon-Mars conjunction and Uranus are at war with each other, they're both on good terms with Neptune.
More specifically, the New Moon-Mars conjunction trines Neptune, thereby creating an effortless flow of energy between them. This channel allows them to surrender their tense energy to Neptune, which can dissolve, transmute and heal it.
As for Uranus, its sextile to Neptune offers it a chance to do the same, but given the nature of the aspect, it can only do so if it recognizes the opportunity and acts upon it.
So how does this cosmic release valve work in corporeal life?
If you find yourself embroiled in a rather incendiary situation, you need to embrace Neptune's principle of dissolution and withdraw from the matter, thereby allowing the conflict to dissolve for lack of participation. One way to do so is to state that you're sorry they feel this way, make it your final answer and hang up, stop texting or walk away.
Despite the hard energy to Uranus, this Mars-charged new moon, along with its energetic pipeline to Neptune, is a powerful one for planting intentions and manifesting new beginnings.
And while much depends upon your personal astrology, it's safe to say that you needn't worry that your new beginning will be compromised by Uranus mayhem.
Quite the contrary, it could actually help deliver a miracle.
