Introduction
The New Moon takes place on November 23rd, 2022. This transit marks the beginning of the new energetic theme of the next 30 days.
Mercury will be conjunct with Venus during this New Moon, all in Sidereal Scorpio and Vedic Anuradha Nakshatra. This Lunar mansion and area of the cosmos are related to relationships, sex, death, ancestors, and wealth. The purpose of Scorpio energy is to find solutions for the community while finding new ways to live in harmony with others.
The Venusian influence of the New Moon creates opportunities for enlightenment, spiritual development, and true love.
New Moons are times to set intentions, plan, and examine your goals. But, unfortunately, we can get so caught up in linear thinking that we feel disconnected from the cosmos. However, when we return to a blank slate, we tap into the triple-black darkness of space.
You can use the date of November 23rd to set your intentions, rituals, and other magical workings with a higher probability that they will work.

Your Brain during a New Moon
The Pineal gland regulates and produces hormones; melatonin production creates dreams and sleep. The pineal gland assists in our memory, creativity, intuition, and critical thinking. All things necessary to manifest positive life experiences. Light and darkness help you manage your attention and intention.
When we are divorced from this system, our inner world gets disconnected from its natural cycles.
As the Sun sets, your subconscious mind rises to the surface to feed. As the Sun rises, it drops to protect itself from the EGO.
Darkness allows the subconscious to rise when we are asleep. The darker the moon, the more melanin is produced.
New Moons set intentions based on the heightened melatonin.
Melatonin, produced by the body, is primarily activated and depressed by darkness and light, not time.
Melatonin’s relationship with the lunar cycle is less well established. Melatonin, which is suppressive to gonadal function, seems to have its highest secretion during the new moon. Many women tend to menstruate with the new moon and sleep more during this time as well. — Sari Cohen
Scorpio
The New Moon takes place in sidereal Scorpio. The Constellation Scorpius, known to astrologers as Scorpio, is the southernmost constellation of the Zodiac.
It once contained the stars of Libra known to the ancients as the Claws of Scorpion. Now that those stars are a part of another constellation, the Sun only spends 7 -9 days in the constellation of Scorpio. The Sun spends the rest of the days in the constellation of Ophiuchus, the Serpent Holder, before moving along to Sagittarius.
Scorpio is a fixed sign representing ancient cosmological portals to the spiritual world. However, now that the equinoxes have proceeded, the milky way is not precisely to Scorpio as it once was.
Scorpio in medical astrology is assigned to the genitals making the sexual organs of human beings the portals for which man ‘comes’ and goes.
The Egyptians viewed Scorpio as the symbol of life and death. They personified Scorpio in the goddess Serqet whose symbolic animal was a Scorpion.
The angel of Scorpio is Gabriel representing the water, the emotional plane, and the deep love the ancestors have for the ignorant.
The Fixed Stars of The New Moon
The Stars positioned as gateways to the opening of Scorpio are called Acrab and Dschubba. The nature of these stars corresponds to Mars, active without care for consequence, and Saturn, disciplined with the ending in mind.
The Scorpionic force when we are younger is wild and untamed (Mars), but as we get older, we get wiser (Saturn) and more purposeful with our sexual/spiritual energy.
The Hindus classified Acrab and Dschubba as their 15th Nakshatra, Anuradha, the goddess of good luck.
Anuradha Nakshatra
Anuradha is a Sanskrit word that means ‘pure affection.’ The deity over this nakshatra is Mitra, the God of companionship. He is a patron of honesty, friendships, contracts, and meetings. Moreover, Mithra is the world’s guardian, maintainer of order, and a barrier against falsehood.
This nakshatra relies on the power of Soul Ties to empower you. If you have been wise with your sexual energy, you call on the energy of the ancestors to guide you. However, if your sexual energy is confused for whatever reason, you call on this energy to release you from the soul ties that cause you confusion.
Because relationships, partnerships, and networks are how many people gain wealth. However, it isn’t easy to get wealth by yourself. So we utilize these times to build our teams to help us realize our goals while helping others reach theirs.
Choosing the people you partner with is very spiritual. We can use new moons to strengthen the bonds we want to keep and release the bonds that no longer serve us.
The Esoterics of the New Moon
“As Scorpio is associated with sexuality, it’s only natural for this sign to rule over the organs of procreation, the genitals, and the womb,”
The Hidden Meaning of the New Moon asks how you face your fear. Do you cope with your anxiety to handle it or face it to remove it? Because handling fear is like holding fire, it will consume you eventually.
All spiritual beings must deal with their fear if they wish to evolve, which Scorpio represents as the point of evolution or alchemy. Water is Scorpio’s element, which addresses the emotional plane of existence, synchronized with the Yoni.
The Yoni is the ‘womb,’ the source of all creation, and the female organs of generation. As spiritual beings, we have a close relationship with the Yoni. Some people see the Yoni and wish to pervert it, while others seek to protect it and learn from it. For spiritual beings, sex isn’t just sex.
Because the body is the temple and vessel of the Divine, we must forget and remember; this process is found in Scorpio. The times we forget are the unpleasant times; the times we remember are blissful. What makes bliss is the times we spend without bliss, which allows us to recognize it as such; this is also Scorpio.
Fear should be explored because sometimes fear can be healthy. Overcoming fear reveals the treasure on the other side; this process represents Scorpio.
During this spiritual journey, we must hold on tight, and sometimes, we must let go completely. Our emotions determine our feelings based on our sexual actions or inaction(Mars). In other words, our understanding of our spiritual nature and sexual energy equates to how deeply we connect to the Divine. Furthermore, it also regulates how and why we share energy.
A person who does not know they are the portal or gateway to the Divine will cheapen or lessen the sexual experience and their vessel. On the contrary, the person who realizes their Womb is the gateway to the Divine will begin to treat themselves as such and live in the richness of the realization.
The Nature of Divinity
The cosmic reality is that everything is simple. From the Womb to our minds, humanity complicates a simple process only to evolve back to simplicity.
The sexual organs, when given time to work with and understand, are extremely intelligent. However, unaware of the sexual and spiritual connection, we let chaos into our lives.
The goal of life is not to ignore sex but to experience it with wisdom and charity. We also understand that the Womb should be protected to explore yourself with peace, allowing you to connect to the cosmos.
Most of us struggle with this understanding. Still, given enough time and wisdom, we learn to overcome and evolve like a phoenix rising from the ashes, another Scorpio symbol.
The New Moon in Conclusion
The New Moon is an astrological aspect and transit that occurs when the Sun and Moon are conjunct. Every 28 days, this occurrence happens, and in ancient cosmology, these times represented a new beginning. Therefore, it is best to use New Moons as times to Set Intentions.
This New Moon will take place in the sign of Sidereal Scorpio in the Anuradha Nakshatra. Scorpio represents emotions, gateways, and wealth. We also understand that our serious undertakings should not be done alone. Although we need relationships, we must discern the quality of our relationships based on our spiritual development. You must decide whether to hold on or let go as a spiritual being. When it comes to ascension and evolution, letting go is a requirement. Because as you grow, you make different choices.
This New Moon represents spiritual growth. Which doesn’t rely on whether you made the best or correct decisions, but rather you are strong enough to let go of it all to find peace at the moment. Because if you are, you will access the wealth of the soul that does not judge you as you judge yourself.
To feel worthy is an interior job you must do. Learning to make better decisions and stay in alignment is relatively simple. Learning to let go of the things that complicate this process is the essence of a Scorpio New Moon.
What are some things you can let go of to lead a simpler, more fulfilling life for the next 28 Days?
