TRANSCRIPT:

[00:00:00] ​

[00:00:05] So this new Moon will be taking place on November 20th, 2025.

[00:00:09] At 28 degrees of the sign of Scorpio. Now, what's really interesting about this New Moon

[00:00:16] is that it will be occurring

[00:00:17] simultaneously with.

[00:00:19] Mercury's

[00:00:20] inferior conjunction with the sun. This is the conjunction that takes place when Mercury is retrograde.

[00:00:27] And part of why we call it an inferior conjunction is because.

[00:00:30] During the inferior conjunction, mercury is positioned in between earth and the sun

[00:00:36] as opposed to the superior conjunction which takes place when Mercury is direct.

[00:00:41] And the sun is placed in between the Earth and Mercury.

[00:00:45] So Mercury is reaching out in a sense,

[00:00:47] up and away into space, into the heavens, while during the inferior conjunction it's.

[00:00:54] Pointing to Earthly matters to, you know, what's below.

[00:00:57] And I think particularly when we are [00:01:00] discussing the sign of Scorpio, we are often talking about things.

[00:01:04] Or focused on things which are hidden beneath the surface.

[00:01:07] Things which are not always seen, but are felt as being a a water sign.

[00:01:12] A fixed water sign at that. So if you're imagining.

[00:01:15] Water, which is running through a pipe or water, which is running underground

[00:01:19] or through a sewer. these are waters that you cannot see.

[00:01:22] But nonetheless, uh, feed into and are connected to

[00:01:25] the world above.

[00:01:27] so through an astrological lens, through

[00:01:29] a psychological lens even we're dealing with.

[00:01:32] Feelings,

[00:01:34] desires, memories of.

[00:01:36] Things which drive action from beneath the surface.

[00:01:39] Things which are not always.

[00:01:41] Fully conscious or things

[00:01:43] which are not always readily communicated traditionally. Scorpio and the other water signs, Pisces and Cancer. Were referred to as mute signs

[00:01:53] that they did not speak in a sense.

[00:01:55] And while this usually isn't literally true.

[00:01:57] I'm sure we all know people who have, uh, heavy [00:02:00] water sign placements who

[00:02:01] speak quite a bit, right? Um, water is nonetheless. An element which pertains to topics which are not as easily communicated through speech.

[00:02:10] while many an author and poet has attempted to convey.

[00:02:15] In words, the experience of a mother's love or

[00:02:19] the ineffable beauty of a sunset.

[00:02:22] Or what it feels like to lose somebody. there isn't a lot of data in.

[00:02:29] Those sensations, those experiences, there's not a lot that

[00:02:32] could be received and understood meaningfully without being able to connect it.

[00:02:37] To one's own emotions, to one's own memories, to one's own experience.

[00:02:40] And sometimes, you when you try to explain.

[00:02:42] How you feel about something to somebody who doesn't have a point of reference or who wasn't there on the day that it happened. Sometimes we choose not to try it all, or we say very little or say.

[00:02:55] Only as much as is necessary, which can come across as rather reserved or, or rather [00:03:00] secretive or

[00:03:01] mysterious.

[00:03:02] But I think this is the quality of muteness that is being described in water signs, which I think makes this particular. New Moon with, a Mercury Kami taking places at the same time, rather fascinating,

[00:03:15] particularly when we have it so deeply configured to other planets.

[00:03:20] This New Moon in Mercury, Kemia taking place at 28 degrees.

[00:03:23] Are also in a very close trine with Neptune and Pisces at 29 degrees and very closely opposed by Uranus and Taurus at to nine degrees.

[00:03:32] Furthermore, the sun and moon. Are just separating from trines with Jupiter and cancer at 25 degrees and Saturn. And Pisces at 25 degrees,

[00:03:42] both of which Mercury, uh, will through its retrograde motion will be applying

[00:03:46] to trines with, uh, really just bringing

[00:03:48] all the themes that we have been discussing. If you have been with me over the past month or so, uh, around this grand shrine, this grand shrine and water signs.

[00:03:58] and really as I've been. [00:04:00] Sitting with this new moon and what it means

[00:04:02] and trying to find, uh, some kind of vehicle through which to talk about it.

[00:04:06] What's, uh, keep kept coming back for me is during the, uh, th rice. Monthly Decken walk, which I host with a small group during our Scorpio three meeting,

[00:04:19] which is the Decken that this new moon is taking place in.

[00:04:22] One of the members of the group brought up the story of The Little Mermaid, specifically the Hans Christian Anderson fairytale version, which is, uh, a little bit darker than the Disney movie version.

[00:04:35] But as it kept coming back to me and I revisited the story, I was kind of struck with how much resonance there is.

[00:04:41] And if you're not familiar with the story,

[00:04:43] or at least not the original Hans Christian Anderson version of the story.

[00:04:47] It is essentially a story

[00:04:49] about a little Mermaid who.

[00:04:52] Is a princess and grows up beneath the sea with her mermaid sisters and her mermaid grandmother

[00:04:57] and it's a good life, right?

[00:04:59] And she [00:05:00] grows up among. Artifacts of the world above particular one statue of a human boy,

[00:05:06] which ignites within her a curiosity

[00:05:08] that continues to grow until, the age 15 she.

[00:05:11] Gains the privilege of

[00:05:13] getting to go up to the surface To catch a little bit of a glimpse of what the world above is about.

[00:05:18] And when the little mermaid's time to go to the surface comes she.

[00:05:22] Spots, uh, a prince

[00:05:24] having a birthday party on the deck of a ship and just falls in love with them.

[00:05:28] But then a violent storm hits and

[00:05:30] she ends up saving the prince from drowning and you know, brings him ashore.

[00:05:35] And when she sees a woman from this temple that she left him by she, you know, dips back under the sea.

[00:05:41] And runs home. Uh, she talks to her grandmother and asks about humans and learns that at

[00:05:45] humans are different than mermaids.

[00:05:47] While they have a shorter lifespan than mermaids who live, uh, like a few hundred years or something,

[00:05:53] humans have an immortal soul. Unlike mermaids, mermaids don't have souls.

[00:05:58] And so now it's, it's really [00:06:00] on. Not only has she been curious about the world above her whole life, There's also a, a young prince that she's got the hots for, and

[00:06:07] this Im mortal soul thing. Sounds pretty cool.

[00:06:10] And so, uh, desperate to fulfill this need, this hunger that has been awoken within her. She goes and visits the sea witch who offers her a potion.

[00:06:18] which will give her legs, but will cost her her voice. Furthermore.

[00:06:22] While she will be able to dance beautifully with her new legs.

[00:06:25] The second big caveat is that. It will cause her excruciating pain. Every moment that she walks on them, it will feel like

[00:06:33] her feet are constantly being stabbed by knives and.

[00:06:35] it'll totally suck.

[00:06:37] Now the witch also tells her that part of the deal is

[00:06:39] if she's able to

[00:06:40] win the love of Ann Mary, this prince that she has the hots for, despite not having a tongue or voice, then she will also be granted an immortal soul.

[00:06:51] But if she fails, if the Prince marrys somebody else, she will die with a broken heart, miserable and dissolve into sea foam like all the other mermaids [00:07:00] do.

[00:07:00] So, of course she agrees to this,

[00:07:02] And she, uh, drinks this potion, which by the way, apparently feels like being stabbed in the throat with a hot sword when you drink it. she does this,

[00:07:12] and begins. I'm trying to make this Prince fall in love with her.

[00:07:15] And she manages to make, uh, good friends with him. He tells her all of his secrets.

[00:07:21] She becomes his number one confidant, but he keeps talking about this beautiful woman that saved his life when he was drowning.

[00:07:28] And that all he wants is to marry this beautiful woman. And of course, being mute, she's unable to tell him that it was her.

[00:07:35] And so eventually.

[00:07:36] The Prince goes looking for the woman that saved him, goes to the temple where he was rescued.

[00:07:41] Sees the woman who found him on the beach

[00:07:43] and says, that's her, that's my girl, and marries her. So as the wedding's taking place, the mermaid heartbroken,

[00:07:52] knowing that she's about to die, prepares to be turned into sea foam.

[00:07:55] and the mermaid's sisters show up

[00:07:57] knife. Say, ah, sorry about your luck.

[00:07:59] That obviously [00:08:00] didn't work out so great.

[00:08:00] But if you take this knife and go and stab the prince to death with it, you can have your old life back and you can join us and be a mermaid and enjoy, you know, the 300 years or so of mermaid life.

[00:08:13] Doesn't that sound nice? Especially after what you've been through. And she takes the knife

[00:08:18] sneaks into the princess's room and is about to do it and says, NA can't even do it. I just love, I just love him too much.

[00:08:25] And she jumps into the sea as dawn breaks and her body turns into sea foam.

[00:08:31] But instead of. Ceasing to be entirely. She turns into an air spirit called a sl.

[00:08:37] Which gives her the opportunity to go around the world doing good deeds,

[00:08:40] which if she does enough of them, will earn her an immortal soul. And that's the end.

[00:08:45]

[00:08:47]

[00:08:47] So there are a few things about this New Moon in Scorpio that I think map on pretty cleanly to this story and a few things that don't, which I'll get to as well, but.

[00:08:58] Firstly, we have this idea [00:09:00] of. Longing

[00:09:01] of a desire which overtakes in supplants plants, the little mermaids.

[00:09:05] Desire for anything else. She's willing to give up her entire life as a mermaid And also endure tremendous suffering in order to.

[00:09:14] Achieve this thing that she wants, right?

[00:09:16] Furthermore, she's

[00:09:17] in a sense, willing to violate the laws of nature in order to.

[00:09:22] Fulfill this dream right.

[00:09:24] She sees this thing, she wants this person that she wants this prince.

[00:09:28] Who we could take at face value

[00:09:31] you know, she wants some and so she's just pulled towards him. But in the story, we

[00:09:36] get at least some background that the Little Mermaid has had this quality. Since she was a little mer, uh, an even littler mermaid since she was, uh, a little girl,

[00:09:48] enchanted by stories of the world above the surface,

[00:09:52] stories about the humans. And

[00:09:54] early on became kind of enamored with

[00:09:57] this statue of

[00:09:58] a boy. which Had sunk to [00:10:00] the bottom of the ocean and

[00:10:01] was kept in her garden, and she

[00:10:03] had built ideas, uh, around the statue I

[00:10:06] of this, uh, this whole new world, right?

[00:10:09] and she spends her childhood waiting for her moment, her time, to see for herself what the surface is about.

[00:10:16] And so when she sees the prince, he becomes this.

[00:10:19] Living, uh, representation of this fantasy, this dream that she's been building up her whole life. and after she rescues the prints, goes back

[00:10:29] home under the sea with her,

[00:10:32] her fantasy of.

[00:10:33] This life, uh, above the sea, now

[00:10:36] strengthened by, you know, having an experience, having

[00:10:39] had a living thing to attach it to.

[00:10:42] She goes, you know, seeking more, more answers.

[00:10:45] And she talks to her grandmother and she learns more, and it takes on a, a spiritual dimension

[00:10:49] when she learns that the humans have souls, or at least that's what her grandmother tells her.

[00:10:55] And this really takes the, the fantasy, for lack of a better term, or [00:11:00] her fixation on

[00:11:01] being human. Being with this prince, uh, takes on an existential tone.

[00:11:05] Where this print essentially becomes

[00:11:08] the singular

[00:11:10] object. Which can fulfill all of her desires to have a soul, to

[00:11:16] experience life on the land,

[00:11:18] and that's what prompts her to take this rather radical decision.

[00:11:23] To forsake her current life entirely in order

[00:11:26] to achieve this, uh, singular fixation

[00:11:30] to get this one thing that will make all of her dreams come true.

[00:11:34] And this is a quality. That we can maybe find in Scorpio, particularly towards the end of Scorpio, to a large degree, all on its own.

[00:11:43] however, I, I really think it speaks to what, uh, Uranus, this opposition with Uranus in Taurus and Earth sign no less is introducing it to the equation. This, uh.

[00:11:53] What could be experienced as maybe a radical impulse to

[00:11:56] abandoned the known, abandoned the status quo.

[00:11:59] uh, Neptune and [00:12:00] Pisces very much introduces this, uh,

[00:12:04] romantic fantasy perhaps.

[00:12:06] Pretty much sells the, the dream that

[00:12:09] fulfilling this desire fulfilling, this

[00:12:11] all consuming desire is going to solve everything. It's going to

[00:12:17] make all your dreams come true.

[00:12:19] All you gotta do is just keep chasing the end of that rainbow, and you'll find the pot of gold and more,

[00:12:24] even if it sounds impossible, even if it breaks all the rules.

[00:12:27] This is really kind of the quality that this new moon and Scorpio has. But as with any New Moon, it's as much, uh,

[00:12:34] a clearing out, a releasing as it is

[00:12:36] the planting of something new.

[00:12:38] And I think, uh, central to what is gonna be coming up this new moon

[00:12:43] is this question of.

[00:12:45] What are we willing to release or give up in order to make space for

[00:12:50] the new

[00:12:51] And I think this brings me back to

[00:12:53] the main theme here with this new moon

[00:12:55] and this part of Scorpio, this, uh, third decken

[00:12:58] where we find [00:13:00] things which have very deep roots.

[00:13:02] And often the the things we want, the people we're drawn to the job. Or going after at any given time

[00:13:09] have their origin or basis in

[00:13:12] early experiences, sometimes traumatic experiences

[00:13:16] where the experience of lack or.

[00:13:19] Even the experience of something that we liked, that we wanted to keep and hold onto, but weren't able to, which can be its own kind of trauma, forms this vacuum, forms this hole internally, that

[00:13:33] seeks fulfillment, that holds us towards things which resemble that shape, which resemble the

[00:13:40] vacuum, that was formed

[00:13:42] and sometimes the bigger the hole, if you will. The, the larger that vacuum, the greater the hunger, the stronger the pole,

[00:13:52] which can sometimes lead us to go to great lengths to fulfill that, that void, fulfill that emptiness.

[00:13:58] And I think part of [00:14:00] what it makes this story so compelling.

[00:14:02] In terms of, speaking to

[00:14:03] what this New Moon is bringing up, what it's describing

[00:14:06] is that it's, you know, kind of questionable, uh, whether or not this is the right choice

[00:14:12] for the Little Mermaid. And it sort of depends on how you look at it.

[00:14:15] In fact, in the original version of the story

[00:14:17] or the way Han's Christian Anderson originally wrote it,

[00:14:20] it didn't have the happy ending where

[00:14:22] she joins the, uh, the Daughters of Spirit or whatever the, the air spirits and ends upends up, on the path to

[00:14:29] getting the soul, the mortal soul.

[00:14:31] But she just dies. She just turns to C foam. He added that later on,

[00:14:36] and some people choose to see that as the, the true ending.

[00:14:39] From that perspective, it certainly looks like she

[00:14:42] sacrificed a lot, uh, a lot of herself in order to.

[00:14:46] Have a shot at becoming what this prince becoming, what this, uh, object of her desire needed her to be in order to

[00:14:55] not just love her, but uh, give her access to this

[00:14:59] [00:15:00] spirit thing, right?

[00:15:00] Which, you know, from another perspective, uh, is just something that her, her grandma told her, you know, is, is that even real?

[00:15:08] Which, you know, we might be dealing with a little bit of, with this Neptune thing, uh,

[00:15:12] with what, uh, Neptune introduces into this new moon is this

[00:15:16] fantasy element or this

[00:15:18] glamor or dream, which has been put around things, which may or may not be real.

[00:15:23] Or at least certainly not rooted in anything tangible.

[00:15:26] And if you look at, look at it from that angle, she starts to look like a real chump. Right? Uh, the story kind of looks like a warning against.

[00:15:34] Giving too much of yourself in order to achieve

[00:15:38] an unrealistic or un even reasonable desire.

[00:15:41] However, if you consider it with the, the happy ending, this also brings in, uh, something I think, which is relevant and useful where we're

[00:15:51] seeing that she does, in a sense, get what she wants.

[00:15:55] Through this sacrifice, through this, uh,

[00:15:57] willingness to release what

[00:15:59] [00:16:00] is No longer fulfilling , which is to be a mermaid. and this is an important angle to look at this new moon from where.

[00:16:06] When we're dealing with that vacuum, right, that emptiness where deep and powerful desires come from

[00:16:14] and we go out in pursuit of things which fulfill that, sometimes we

[00:16:18] find something that.

[00:16:19] Seems to meet that need our match, the thing we want, but uh, is possibly bad for us or

[00:16:25] we hold onto it because it feels betterTo have something that

[00:16:30] even if it makes us sick, even if it doesn't feel fulfilling, is better than being empty.

[00:16:36] And I think that's more than anything what. I would like you to consider when thinking about this new moon

[00:16:43] when the little Mermaid goes to see the, the sea witch, uh, this choice to

[00:16:48] pursue life as a human, to get, you know, her little human legs

[00:16:54] to endure the, the physical pain of.

[00:16:56] Essentially being split apart is what's described in the story [00:17:00] and continuously endure the pain of having these legs, which aren't hers or which aren't natural

[00:17:07] or, you know, what she knows.

[00:17:08] It is not a decision that she takes lightly. she has to leave her sisters, her family, uh, the world that she knows. And it's heartbreaking,

[00:17:17] but whether or not you choose to see it as a, a fantasy or.

[00:17:22] A delusion or you know, a big mistake.

[00:17:25] It does speak to

[00:17:26] the challenge and the sacrifice built into pursuing something that you truly want. Because it does involve letting go of

[00:17:34] something else,

[00:17:35] something that you may have wanted me have loved dearly, but

[00:17:38] is now dragging you down

[00:17:40] And the way I like to think about the story

[00:17:43] is that even if the Prince as the particular object that she was going after, even if

[00:17:48] she ended up suffering so much for, something that wasn't actually Ever going to be, uh, able to reciprocate, to be able to give her

[00:17:56] what she wanted.

[00:17:56] sometimes the thing that we want or the [00:18:00] object that we're pursuing, whether it's a job, whether it's a person

[00:18:03] or a new jacket, It is just a, a stepping stone

[00:18:07] or just the thing which most closely resembles the shape of a,

[00:18:11] what it is we're truly seeking.

[00:18:14] You could look at the story as the Little mermaid,

[00:18:16] you know, living deep in the depths of, of the water.

[00:18:19] Living a, a life which is, you know, fully material oriented, at least according to grandma. Um, where she, you know, gets a nice 300 year run.

[00:18:28] And that's that,

[00:18:29] that, uh,

[00:18:30] what she was seeking was, you know, spirit was,

[00:18:33] this may be divine connection.

[00:18:35] And perhaps in the story just, the next highest thing, which would be the land.

[00:18:40] And in the story, the prince is the vehicle for her getting a soul. But

[00:18:46] what she's told is that.

[00:18:48] If he loves her enough, if he marries her and commits to her, she gets to share, she gets, uh, to have a bit of his soul basically and be part of, the greater joy [00:19:00] of humanity in the future is I think what he says in the book,

[00:19:03] which, you know, sounds cool. Going from, you know, the perspective of, of not having one right.

[00:19:10] But it kind of flies in the face of maybe what we.

[00:19:13] Think of as a, a soul.

[00:19:15] it represents, your personal connection to, the greater source of spirit, the greater well of everything. and Hans Christian Anderson being

[00:19:24] a dane, being of Danish descent.

[00:19:27] In the early 18 hundreds where the memory of

[00:19:30] the religious wars in Europe during the 16 hundreds

[00:19:33] where the Protestants split off from the, the Catholic Church and fought for religious independence,

[00:19:40] you know, was not entirely forgotten. Uh, that.

[00:19:43] Consciousness around Danish identity and even Protestant identity was still very much there. And one of the big points of contention between a,

[00:19:51] the Protestant or Lutheran

[00:19:53] inspired or derived churches that split off from the Catholic church is the idea [00:20:00] of a personal connection to God

[00:20:02] that you don't need a priest or a Cardinal or you know, a whole church organization. To serve as an intermediary between you and God. You have your own connection.

[00:20:13] It's according to the Protestant way of thinking.

[00:20:15] And I think a lot of the way that we conceptualize nowadays, our sense of identity and how identity has been conceptualized, uh, and how it is conceptualized within astrology, through the sun

[00:20:27] being a singular point of consciousness

[00:20:30] that, While the little mermaids

[00:20:32] initial quest gain the, the love of this prince

[00:20:36] ended in failure and heartbreak. Uh, what she ends up with is

[00:20:40] I

[00:20:40] a path to achieving what she wants, uh, to achieving this, this soul thing, uh, which is.

[00:20:46] Holy Har own. She's supposed to do good deeds for so many hundreds of years

[00:20:52] until she earns this soul. But once she has it, it's, it's all hers. It's her own soul. Not connected to anybody [00:21:00] else or given out to, uh, by anyone else.

[00:21:04] And so I, I think especially given that having this New Moon

[00:21:08] at the same time as the Mercury Kami or the inferior conjunction of Mercury, uh, with the sun.

[00:21:15] Mercury was always traditionally seen as the psychopomp,

[00:21:19] Hermes, the God, uh, had that role of going back and forth between the underworld,

[00:21:25] the realms of the dead, and the realms of the living, as well as Mount Olympus, the, the realm of the gods. Only Mercury could go

[00:21:32] to the underworld and back without getting stuck there.

[00:21:35] And this is in a sense what's being described with the inferior conjunction is mercury diving deep, uh, this

[00:21:43] journey into the underworld in order to retrieve something or to learn something or to send a message. And I think in this context, we're

[00:21:51] getting this moment?

[00:21:52] To bring into awareness

[00:21:54] something, which was forgotten or what lies at the heart of our

[00:21:59] [00:22:00] desires, While it may be a particular job whatever it is, you've fixated on whatever it is you have chosen as the object,

[00:22:09] which, acquiring represents fulfillment,

[00:22:11] what, Is the origin story of that desire and what

[00:22:15] emptiness is, trying to be filled.

[00:22:17] And we may find, during this new moon. That you are achieving some sort of clarity on

[00:22:22] what it is you've been pursuing.

[00:22:23] perhaps recognizing a need to let go of something we've been chasing or something we've been holding onto

[00:22:31] or something in your life, which is dead

[00:22:33] or making you sick.

[00:22:34] There was a movie I watched recently called Bring Her Back,

[00:22:38] which, this. It may contain some spoilers,

[00:22:42] then some of this sort of gets revealed throughout the movie. But I, uh, if you don't want the spoilers, just, you know, skip to the next segment.

[00:22:49] But it involves, this

[00:22:51] woman who has lost her daughter and she discovers through this sort of found footage, this ritual.

[00:22:57] Which will allow her to bring [00:23:00] her daughter back to

[00:23:02] put her daughter's spirit in the body of another child,

[00:23:06] which necessarily involves,

[00:23:08] ritually killing the host body, that she wants to put her daughter's spirit into.

[00:23:14] And it also involves, uh, using another

[00:23:16] child, to serve as an intermediary. And it's a, uh,

[00:23:19] a very scary film. Very dark film, but a very powerful one, uh, that really. describes the length that we can go to,

[00:23:28] to regain something that we've lost or somebody that we've lost.

[00:23:33] And, uh, honestly, I'm gonna be gonna give some more spoilers just because I, I think it is really relevant here,

[00:23:38] but essentially because this woman is so fixated on specifically bringing her daughter back.

[00:23:43] Because she can't accept the loss. She is

[00:23:47] not only willing to do horrendous things, but she is,

[00:23:50] uh, it doesn't work out and she is

[00:23:53] depriving herself of the opportunity,

[00:23:55] which she has really throughout the film

[00:23:57] to not get her daughter back, but [00:24:00] to.

[00:24:00] Find a new vessel for her love for her maternal love,

[00:24:04] and I think it really speaks to what everything kind of comes back to with this new moon.

[00:24:10] Is that as, uh, painful as that period of grief or of letting go

[00:24:15] or of having to sit with the, the emptiness that is left in the place of

[00:24:20] something that we've lost or something that we've, uh, have to move on from

[00:24:24] While we can maybe go through two extreme lengths in order to revive something which is dead,

[00:24:32] and sometimes that can be. Productive, maybe not in this specific context, but uh, in others,

[00:24:40] when we refuse to go through that process and we hold on to something that we've lost.

[00:24:46] We deny ourselves the opportunity to, I

[00:24:48] fill that space with something else, something which could be truer to the spirit of what it is we wanted to begin with,

[00:24:56] and even if not.

[00:24:57] Truer in a sense.

[00:24:59] It is what's [00:25:00] necessary in order to

[00:25:01] move on and.

[00:25:02] that hunger, that emptiness, is powerful,

[00:25:05] but it is meant to be renewed Nothing lasts forever. And

[00:25:10] because of how powerful that hunger is,

[00:25:13] I. It can be easy to hold on to things

[00:25:16] beyond their natural lifespan,

[00:25:18] hold onto patterns, or hold onto beliefs, which have long outlived their service to us.

[00:25:24] and sometimes that knowledge of that inevitable cycle, that inev inevitability of endings and change

[00:25:30] can lead us to

[00:25:32] focus on the inevitable loss of things rather than enjoying them while we have them.

[00:25:38] Or similarly focus on, you know, things that we have lost

[00:25:41] so that we're unable to enjoy

[00:25:43] what we currently have.

[00:25:44] So I think this is really what I want to invite

[00:25:47] all of you to engage with during this new Moon.

[00:25:50] Really in the coming weeks, sort of seeing what, uh, spending some time with the emptiness.

[00:25:58] That we all have inside us, that [00:26:00] we're always trying to fill with distractions, with stimulation, But we perhaps don't give ourselves the opportunity to actually understand what it is, what it shape is, and are there ways, which you might be compromising your values in order to achieve

[00:26:14] something which doesn't actually fulfill, but merely

[00:26:18] substitutes the void, right? And this may not be very comfortable. Uh, it's this new moon's likely to stir up some uncomfortable feelings, some uncomfortable memories

[00:26:30] or experiences, which I think it would be useful to pay attention to, to look at the things that happen around this new moon,

[00:26:36] which stir up

[00:26:38] potentially, you know, dormant or latent feelings, which have deeper origins.

[00:26:43] What, ghosts, if you will, are being stirred up from your past.

[00:26:48] how are you, bringing those ghosts, if you will, into what you're trying to achieve now,

[00:26:53] You take, uh, Frankenstein, right? It's an amalgamation of different body parts, you know, designed to

[00:26:59] build this [00:27:00] sort of superhuman

[00:27:01] to animate dead flesh, but with a new spirit, or are we trying to

[00:27:05] bring back

[00:27:06] some spirit which

[00:27:07] has passed, right? when all these, reanimation stories you get,

[00:27:12] you know, sometimes you get a demon instead of the, the spirit you're trying to bring back or you get the spirit, but it's, you know, somehow fundamentally changed because of it's experience in the afterlife and it's, you know, not supposed to be there. Uh, there's all kinds of great horror that comes from

[00:27:28] trying to bring things back to life and.

[00:27:30] There's a lot of great things that, uh, get brought back to life. A lot of old things which, uh, are revived and reintroduced. However, even when we do that, when we revive old things,

[00:27:42] they inherently have to become something new. They have to

[00:27:45] be reformatted and reintegrated into current circumstances

[00:27:49] we can't bring back the past ,

[00:27:51] but we can't learn from it, and we can.

[00:27:53] Give old spirits, if you will, uh, an opportunity to find new life,

[00:27:58] but we can't [00:28:00] expect things to be what they were.

[00:28:01] We have to allow things to change

[00:28:04] and allow ourselves to change, allow our relationships to change I think what it's all boiling down to, it's while, you know, we can get very dramatic about death metaphors and things ending, and yes, these are all true, but.

[00:28:15] Probably more relevant to most of us. Most of you,

[00:28:19] it's going to be, you know, those little deaths that we experience all the time,

[00:28:24] those little endings that make wafer new beginnings the ways that we sometimes

[00:28:29] stunt or stifle that process by trying to hold on.

[00:28:33] By resisting, the cell turnover, the the soil turnover.

[00:28:36] If we do that too long, you know, we become like zombies, right? We lose connection with our lives.

[00:28:44] And our choices and our

[00:28:46] ourselves really. And I this

[00:28:48] Mercury retrograde, Kami New Moon thing, this is sole retrieval, this is

[00:28:54] diving into the void, into the emptiness, into the, uh.Decomposing matter

[00:28:59] to [00:29:00] plant new seeds, to plant

[00:29:01] new things in that void, in that compost heap,

[00:29:05] So that is the essence of what I wanted to talk about today with this new Moon and Scorpio.
