In Scorpio, we are asked to face our insecurities and fears. And the Moon doesn’t function well in Scorpio, because the Moon is our Mind and Emotional nature and Scorpio represents the emotional ups and downs that occur as life brings us challenges and changes. The Sun is challenged to retain a powerful individual nature when immersed in the energy of “Other”.
The Sun doesn’t function well in Libra, because the Sun represents our Individual Soul’s Power and Libra is the domain of “other”. And well, quite frankly, that usually doesn’t feel so good. So the seed point of this New Moon really sets off the inner dynamics of how our relationships with others set the stage for our own individual growth and transformation. Maintaining strength of the Individual Self (via the Sun) and remaining emotionally stable (via the Moon) will both be challenged at the same time.
So, within the New Moon Window, both the Sun and Moon will be at their weakest points in the Zodiac. And about 10 hours later, the Moon will make its way into Scorpio, where is experiences its weakest energy. On November 11th, the exact New Moon will occur in Sidereal Libra around 12:45pm EST. And now the emotional energy, shown by the Moon, is decreasing. The Sun is still at its weakest point in Libra, where the awkwardness of the Individual self trying to explore connection to other through relationship can itself feel taxing. Have you been feeling it? Wanting to rest, withdraw a little? Or maybe even just a little tired or fatigued and don’t know why?
As the Moon has been getting closer to the New Moon, I know I have noticed a decrease in energy. There is a natural feeling of “lose” that comes about in that second half.

In the last half of the lunar cycle as the Moon moves from Full back to New Moon, the emotional energy decreases.
