24*Scorpio New Moon
By Tara Sutphen

24* Scorpio New Moon this month, culminating November 16, 2009 (Ephemeris). The Scorpio new moon is about your personal depth of being and coming to terms with how you are responsible to yourself and for others. Activating solutions, speech and action to help those you love. Sometimes it can be how you help and support those not only in your family, but through your community, country or world. It is a calling, as you help and nurture others they help and nurture you. Last month as the new moon was in Libra it was all about your beauty inside and outside, but with this moon it's time to look at the uglies hidden deep within. Searching for recognition of light and life, we may want to hide everything about ourselves that can't come out for others to see. Hiding are idiosyncrasies, wild sex, hate, greed, punishment, grief, sorrow, failure, and self-loathing. It is there in everyone, some rearrange all these feelings to make them less potent and embarrassing. Everyone has trouble and sadness, it is the earth plane after all and as much as we try and run from the weakness' we carry from our soul contracts, we must take time to deal with different changes and stumbling blocks. If we don't, metaphorically, we may go through life with a blindfold faltering on the path.

This Scorpio new moon is not only about you this time though, it's about others and how you act and respond. A person's behavior is never about you, it's about them. Do you take the time to observe before you react. Do you try and hear on a deeper level or see in 2nd sight. What is it that you can say or do to assist someone in their moment of attention, anxiety or distress. We all at times cry out in agony or suffering. Some people may be silent, never ask for help or say a word. We must be aware of them as well as the bellowers or screamers. There are some people who want too much from everyone and everything, remembering.... it's never about you. You are in the world theatre and you're playing a role in a part. Activate to have the inner knowing, when to observe, when to advise and when to act. We are all on our soul contract and agreements, and live our journey. If we are able to see through the darkest parts of ourselves maybe we'll be able to change our lives and those that we love in the best possible ways.


Journal Questions:

What do I think my motivations are? Can I be truly honest with myself? Do I look at the deepest darkest parts of myself? Why are they important? How can I cure this part of myself? Do I always carry frustration and anxiety? When does it stop? When does it end? I find myself acting out, what am I not dealing with and why? Why do I think I might have to die to get out of my troubles? What are my fixable solutions? Why do I feel desolate and alone with a world full of people? Why do I go through periods of self-loathing? Why am I never good enough? What is it that keeps me from doing what I want to accomplish? Why do I test myself over and over? Why do I browbeat myself? Why do I judge others? Why do I feel unworthy? What do others have that I want? Why can't I have those things? Why can't I make decisions to create those situations? What do I feel are my 'uglies'? Give myself a list to overcome these dark parts of myself, bringing them to light on paper. I want to change how I feel about ---? I want to change how I think about ---? I want to change my attitude? I want to help others, how best can I start doing this? It could be that you already do this in the work place. Make a list: Kind words, smiles, small offerings, advice, etc... You don't need to give all your time and energy to others. It's only about making your life worthwhile with your... Family? Friends? Co-workers? Bystanders? People in Business you frequent? Community servers? Nation servers? World Servers? How can I be kindest to myself? Make a list. 15 mins every morning enjoying a hot beverage and resting while looking out a window? Reading 5 pages of a self-help book or good novel? Taking 1 - 2 mins with everyone you come in contact with to acknowledge them and validate their existence? Helping your kids with homework? Talking to your kids? Talking to your parents or relatives? Talking to your friends? Taking care of a sick friend or family member? Teaching someone about your expertise? Learn to please the inner you deep within while you are assisting others. It is one of the fulfilling aspects of life.
