Scorpio New Moons mark moments when it is wise to ponder, delve deeply into questions, and look beneath the surface in our lives. It may be time to eliminate unhealthy habit patterns, practices, relationships, jobs or possessions from our lives. Tough projects can be tackled during Scorpionic periods because our stamina, will power, focus and concentration are extra high.

New Moon, 20 Scorpio 33, Friday, November 12, 2004 at 6:28 AM PST .
Take the initiative in regard to loans, government grants, or joint resources. Scorpio New Moons can indicate fresh beginnings in the area of intimacy and deep sharing. They are also an excellent time for research, occult studies, depth psychotherapy, or any investigative work or projects that involve intense, heart-felt reactions. Since strength and resourcefulness are highlighted, overcoming addictions or negative habit patterns is another possibility. This New Moon is particularly significant for people born around November 11-15, February 9-12, August 11-16, or May 9-14. Issues around forgiving, forgetting, and moving on may be emphasized.

An upbeat, optimistic note is present. Confidence rises and humorous interchanges abound. People are more likely to see the silver lining -- to spot opportunity knocking. Interest could increase in areas of travel, education, law, enlightenment, or anything inspirational or uplifting. The desire is for expansion and broadened horizons. An adventurous spirit is highlighted.

Venus enters Scorpio, Monday, November 22, 2004 at 5:32 AM PST .
The planet of love and pleasure enters the sign of Don Juan and femme fatales. Fatal attractions could occur; obsessive love is a downside possibility. On the upside, intense commitments can develop. People may deepen and strengthen their intimate connections. Soul-searching and sharing the secrets of one’s psyche with a beloved are quite possible, as is enhanced sexuality. Gratification is tied to looking more deeply into life and love. People enjoy peeling away the layers of the onion, getting to the bottom of things, exploring issues thoroughly and completely.

Jupiter trines Neptune, Monday, November 29, 2004 at 0:27 AM PST.
The two idealistic planets are forming an excellent aspect for seeing the highest potential in every situation -- looking at the bright side of life. However, it can also indicate seeing things through rose-colored glasses, and yearning for a “happily ever after” ending that is not reasonable. This is an excellent time for visualization, spiritual practices, or work that makes a better or more beautiful world.

Mercury goes Retrograde, Tuesday, November 30, 2004 at 4:18 AM PST .
The retrograde cycle is an excellent time for review, research, and revisions. Going over material to fine-tune it is a good idea. Fact-checking is advisable. Editing and rewrites are appropriate. Confirming appointment times and dates can cut down errors. Read the fine print. This cycle lasts until December 19th, when “full speed ahead” applies to communication, curiosity, and commerce.
