A New Moon occurs tonight at 7:14 PM EDT. Before that, avoid making important decisions. This is a general rule just before a New Moon when the Moon is Balsamic, but it is especially true with Mercury in awkward aspect to Uranus. This New Moon occurs in passionate Scorpio, heralding a time when we can focus on some of the constructive traits of the sign of the Scorpion--passionate, resourceful, focused, probing, deep, and perceptive--and consider how to positively incorporate these qualities into our lives. Scorpio New Moons are generally good for working on our self-mastery skills. We may want to pinpoint the things in our lives that make us feel out of control, such as addictions and debts, and work on freeing ourselves of these emotional burdens. This New Moon cycle is also an opportune one in which to explore what is missing in our lives that leads us to engage in these self-destructive behaviors. The Moon enters Scorpio at 7:48 AM EDT.
