Tuesday November 13th at 5pm EST marks the New Moon in Scorpio. The New Moon is all about new beginnings, and Scorpio is the water sign for transformation, abundance, and elimination. It is also the sign for passion, financial gain, and prosperity. This is a powerful time for new romance, or end to relationships that no longer serve you. Being that Scorpio is a sign associated with passion, it is wonderful to give focus to the Swadhisthana Chakra in our yoga practice, which governs the reproductive system, passion, and creativity. The Farmers Almanac, ancient civilization all watch the patterns of the new moon to prepare for harvest. Some suggest to create a list of wishes or affirmations during this powerful period of cleansing as Scorpio is the sign that says "I Desire". With Mercury in Retrograde a lot of emotions and chaos may stir up in lines of communication and it is a chance for us to better ourselves. Just remember regardless of your belief, when we let go of anger, grudges and negative thoughts we only make room in our hearts for good things and better health.
This incredible New Moon in Scorpio is also falling on a Solar Eclipse, and the start of Diwali or Deepavali (The Festival of Lights). This festival of lights celebrates Laksmi the Goddess of Love & Abundance, and the lights signify the triumph of Good over Evil.
This is a time of sweets, celebration and lights to illuminate the hearts of all people. Oil Lamps, lanterns illuminate the homes of millions of Hindus all over the world. Wishing all my Hindu friends, brothers and sisters all over the world a Happy Diwali.
Regardless of religious beliefs, we should always embrace the chance to shine light in our heart and dispel darkness, to celebrate life with love and eradicate negative thoughts, to wish for prosperity and joy by sharing prosperity and joy with all the people we encounter. We will only find this abundance of light and love in our external world when we have it in our own heart ~ Namaste
