November's New Moon in tropical Scorpio marks a significant turning point within the month and year--a fulcrum of future potential and past residual energy. Aligned with Mercury retrograde, the asteroid Lilith, forming a grand trine with Saturn, Neptune, and Jupiter (and striking an opposition to Uranus), there is a lot of dynamic energy reaching a breaking point that can feel powerfully creative, serendipitous, and emotionally strong.
There is a liberating and "breaking free" dimension to this lunation via the Uranus opposition, and the free-flowing psychic energy current (along with the powerfully highlighted Scorpio archetype) draws our attention to the underbelly and inner working of all that has our attention now. There may be a surfacing of strong, unexpressed potential during this New Moon that draws us closer to unconscious undercurrents or blind spots in a way that's easier to integrate and confront.
While Mercury retrograde is not an ideal moment for finalization, conclusions, or launching a solid or critical plan/endeavor, its alignment with this New Moon points to the birth of unexpected new directions, or paths long forgotten, put aside, or delayed. We're likely to stumble into, or suddenly find ourselves immersed in, the flow of some new activity, while also tying up loose ends or attending to unfinished business.
This is the Mercury retrograde dimension that's likely to infuse itself in this New Moon transition, working both its serendipitious and trickster magic (or likely both), bringing about perceptual shifts, insight, or creative possibility (also paradoxically alongside some inconvenient breakdowns, glitches, and detours).
There is also the possibility of getting carried away by strong emotion or hyperfixated to the exclusion of the bigger picture of what we're stewing in. The hidden, occult, or mysterious dimension to this lunation cannot be overstated, where flowing along with the current can feel incredibly uncertain. Yet, moving forward now might be surprisingly easier than expected, despite the need to abandon ultimate expectations or control.
