The New Moon in Scorpio 9° on November 1, 2024, sets the stage for deep emotional transformation and renewal. Scorpio’s energy, known for its intensity, invites us to confront our inner emotions and release what no longer serves us. This New Moon forms a harmonious trine with Saturn retrograde in Pisces, encouraging us to combine emotional depth with a sense of responsibility and structure. Saturn’s influence helps ground Scorpio’s emotional intensity, guiding us to use this transformative energy with patience and wisdom, especially in areas where we need to revisit old lessons or commitments.
At the time of this New Moon, a Grand Kite formation takes shape, creating a powerful flow of energy. It is essential to note that the Grand Kite formation during the New Moon is largely water-dominated, creating a deeply emotional and intuitive energy flow. This celestial pattern enhances the potential for growth and achievement, helping us align our emotional needs with practical actions. The Grand Kite brings an opportunity to channel the transformational energy of the New Moon into focused goals, giving us the momentum to manifest our intentions with precision and clarity.
The powerful addition of Pluto at 29° Capricorn as the grounding force of this Grand Kite brings transformative energy into the mix. Pluto at the anaretic 29° amplifies its influence, signaling a critical point of change and deep transformation, especially in matters related to power, authority, and long-term structures.
Both rulers of the New Moon in Scorpio—Mars and Pluto—are positioned at 29°, creating an especially intense and transformative energy surrounding this lunar event. The 29°, also known as the anaretic degree, represents a critical point of culmination, completion, and sometimes crisis. The planets at 29° are finishing their journey through a sign, carrying the highest expression of that sign's energy while preparing for a significant shift into the next.
Mars at 29° Cancer:
Mars, the traditional ruler of Scorpio, represents action, drive, and assertiveness. In Cancer, Mars is emotionally driven, protective, and sometimes reactive. When Mars reaches the 29th degree of Cancer, it indicates a culmination of emotional or domestic tensions that have been building. This degree heightens the need to take decisive action related to emotional security, family matters, or personal boundaries, but there may also be a sense of urgency or instability as Mars prepares to leave Cancer and enter Leo.
Pluto at 29° Aquarius:
Pluto, the modern ruler of Scorpio, represents transformation, power, and deep psychological processes. Pluto at 29° Aquarius marks the completion of a long period of societal, technological, and intellectual transformation. This placement emphasizes the culmination of collective and individual shifts in how we approach power, innovation, and social structures.
What Does This Mean for the New Moon in Scorpio?
The combination of Mars and Pluto both at 29° during this New Moon adds a layer of intensity and urgency to this lunation. The New Moon in Scorpio is already a time for deep emotional transformation, shedding old layers, and rebirth. With both Mars and Pluto at critical degrees, this New Moon becomes a pivotal turning point, where the need for transformation is undeniable, and this lunation marks a point where change is not just encouraged but necessary. It’s a time to release what no longer serves and step into a new phase of empowerment, driven by both personal courage and collective responsibility.
