At the Crossroads
Scorpio New Moon · November · Shadow · Power · Renewal
In the long night of late autumn, the earth dreams us forward.
The Beaver Moon -this November New Moon in Scorpio-is an invitation to be reshaped by that dreaming. To become the version of you your soul has been patiently carving.
You’re standing at a crossroads right now. Can you feel it?
That humming uncertainty, the weight of choices not yet made, the gentle pull of something new calling you forward while the familiar still holds you close.
This is sacred ground.
A Moon That Remakes You
At Samhain’s edge, the world breathes inward. The Beaver New Moon carries that same magic. The doorway between the seen and unseen is thin, and you get to choose which part of you walks through.
With Mercury also retrograde in Scorpio, this isn’t just a time of forward momentum; it’s a sacred pause. A moment to revisit, to reflect, to excavate what’s been buried and bring it into the light of your awareness.
The Magic of In-Between
Crossroads are so much more than physical intersections where one path meets another. They are the invisible meeting points of our soul. Where intuition, logic, fear, and hope all sit down at the same table and wait for us to decide which direction to move.
In nearly every tradition across time, crossroads were considered holy. Places where the veil between worlds thinned, where spirits might linger, and where choices carried more weight.
To the ancient Greeks, Hecate stood at these very crossroads: the goddess of thresholds, holding her torches to light the way. But she didn’t tell travelers which road to take. She illuminated the space in-between, so they could choose with awareness.
Hecate isn’t the goddess of outcomes.
She is the guardian of possibilities.
She watches over that delicate place where endings bleed into beginnings, where grief and excitement coexist, and where uncertainty hums like a living spell. She doesn’t rush us. She simply waits, with her lantern held high, reminding us that liminal spaces – those “in-between” places- are not to be feared, but honored.
When the Inner World Speaks
When the veil thins, your inner world gets louder. The Scorpio New Moon amplifies it. Listen closely—the guidance you’ve been seeking is whispering from within.
As November teaches us to quiet ourselves again, the Beaver New Moon invites a long exhale. What’s falling away now is simply clearing space for what is ready to rise.
This moment asks for stillness, not force. Truth over performance. Depth over distraction.
Let the moon pull you inward. The seeds you plant here ,in silence, in shadow, will outgrow anything you build from fear.

Creation stirs before it shows itself.”The Hidden Work of Becoming
We begin in the dark for a reason.
Creation stirs before it shows itself.
The Hidden Work of Becoming
Trust that what you’re calling in under this moon is already forming, even if the surface looks still.
Clarity doesn’t come from pushing. Scorpio teaches stillness; the moment you drop into your body and feel the truth that’s been waiting, steady and patient.
If you’re feeling reflective, emotional, cracked open, or a little lost; you’re not off track. You’re right on time.
This New Moon asks one thing: tell the truth to yourself first. Speak what you’ve never said aloud.
Scorpio digs up the old contracts you’ve outgrown, the walls you keep running into. Face what’s true. Walk with your shadows. Release what you’re done carrying.
You don’t need to rush or have a plan. Just be here. Breathe. Listen.
Something in you is already shifting beneath the surface, in a steady, patient, real sort of way. Allow it to flow, because if you do, you’ll rise with a clarity only the dark can teach.
Every healing begins in the dark,
every transformation with a pause.
Rebirth doesn’t need to be dramatic, but it does need to be transparent and honest.
Let go of the old. Choose what’s new. Trust that what you’re calling in is already forming, even if the surface looks still.
You’re supported every step of the way.

“Find Your Why and You Will Find Your Way”
It’s so important to KNOW without a shadow of a doubt what FILLS YOUR CUP and keeps your heart smiling, even when stress is out of control and sh*t hits the fan. It’s times like these , we get thrown off track, get hit from the side, lose the wind from our sails. Too many of these blows, can knock us down for the count. But there is always a way to get back up. And sometimes that means finding your true north, seeing what is important and going the distance. Getting back up means getting in touch with your ‘WHY’

Word of the year: FLOW
2022 taught me a lot. It was tougher than I thought it would be , wasn’t it?? After all we’d been through in 2020 & 2021 most of us thought 2022 would be a walk in the park. But honestly- I don’t know anyone who felt that was.
The world was maybe only very slightly calmer- at least from my perspective- but my inner landscape was vexed. Things came up , situations changed, and topsy -turvy feelings became the norm. And this was the universal sentiment that seemed to rock our worlds- both outer and inner but mostly the former.
There were some larger energetic shifts that impacted us all,but, regardless of that, we all felt the awareness that there was still work to be done. This made me realize: sometimes things happen at their own speed, in their own due time. I am not in control, even as much as I wish I was, or as much as I try working hard to be. I can’t force anything- life can change and impact us -on a macro or micro scale – at any moment. It just is what it is….
And now I truly get that. My son having difficulties has really shown me how we can’t force things to happen. He is going at his own pace, not one imposed upon by me. He is doing the best he can. All I can do is pray, set intentions and ask for help when I need it. BUT I can’t force him on any level to go any faster to do any “better” even though my WILL, my ego might want him to.I need to be in the FLOW. The flow of my outer life and unexpected circumstances that may arise, as well as my inner life- flowing with my feelings, thoughts, passions and purpose- as well as my shadow side.

What do Geraldo, Poop, the iPhone & Meditation have in Common?
Our thoughts are a function of our brain. Some thoughts are good and useful to us, and some are not. WE are the LISTENER of our thoughts. I know this is a bit confusing but here’s the deal -we hear our thoughts. We are our consciousness – we are our soul- we are our inner knowing but we are not our thoughts – they are only a function of our brain.

That Summer Feeling~ June, Hormones, Sunshine and Heart-to-Hearts
June is a slip into summer……New scientific research has even discovered that different hormones peak during different seasons. Our reproduction hormones tend to peak late winter into spring. Move over birdie! Moreover, our serotonin levels are also elevated during the summer months with more exposure to sun light. With this higher dose, we can feel more confident in our skin, more able to open up and share with others. This hormone also creates feelings of loyalty, which may engender trust and open honesty. Hormonal changes such as these can increase our desire to connect with others. Biologically, we are social creatures and it is vital to our survival, our health and our well-being, to have solid connections with a close, core group of people in which we can allow ourselves to be intimate and vulnerable with.
‘You Must Believe In Spring…’
“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom” Anais Nin. The Cycle begins again… Birth. Emergence. Becoming. Newness. Freshness. Blooming. Budding. Moving. Ascending.
For many decades now, I have come to live in harmony with natures seasonal changes and create rituals around them. I suppose my interest started at first as a child because I was always very observant to nature and what was happening in my outside world. Now, even the years that I am not quite as attentive, I still feel a buzzing in my body come late March that continues through to June. To me this sensation is spring….
….Think of the sort of “anger” one has when playing a sport, or the “anger” one has when playing a game, or the burning sensation that one might feel when a highly valued project or endeavor hits an avalanche of an obstacle. It’s the sensation of being so alive and so on fire that only a blood curdling cry can truly demonstrate the depth (like the NZ Maori’s war dance, the Haka). It’s that kind of anger that runs rampant during these spring months. If this anger is felt and understood and then, most importantly, let go of, it is useful in allowing us to forge ahead. It gives us resilience and strength despite our possible uphill battles. However, if this anger is nurtured and feed, it can become a noose around our necks and follow us everywhere we go. Not relinquishing its hold can poison even the most tender of moments, even the sweetest of relationships…..
