It’s a newly spawned (that seems about right for) Scorpio Moon, beginning its journey just as we enter the Dark of the Moon leading up to the New Moon of the 5th. By the 9 AM hour PST we are in that low energy no-man’s-land that this time seems more like a dark tunnel than a vast emptiness–as if we’re on track for something, and we won’t discover it until we emerge from the tunnel with the New Moon. The natural affinity of Scorpio for crawling into a dank yet cozy cave fits well with this period when the lunar energy is quite naturally withdrawn–so what do we do with this?

We use this time for things that are best done in the dark: dreaming, meditating, investigating, cogitating, imaginating! and resting. It’s the perfect time for renewal, so retreat from as much of life’s demands as is possibly will be to your benefit. The idea is to come back to your obligations refreshed and renewed, to emerge phoenix-like from the ashes of your own outmoded ideas and attitudes with a new version of you, identical, yet just a little better. This point comes, of course, sometime after the Sun/ Moon conjunction, typically within no more than twelve hours of the meeting. (And here’s a hint: this NM will have some connection to events and viewpoints of June 2010.)

In that spirit I won’t be posting again here until I put up a much abbreviated version of my New Moon report–for information on what we may be facing during the Void (if retreat isn’t an option for you) and for early access to my complete New Moon outlook, see the Private Pages at right.
