Written in the Stars: All You Need to Know About the New Moon in Scorpio

TO SAY THAT 2020 HAS BEEN A WILD RIDE IS AN ABSOLUTE UNDERSTATEMENT, BUT WE’RE HANGING IN HERE NONETHELESS. WITH THE FORCED STILLNESS OF THE NEW YEAR, MANY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DIVE DEEPER INTO SPIRITUALITY AND ASTROLOGY ALIKE. ONE OF OUR FAVORITE ASTROLOGERS, SHAWNTE CATO, FILLED US IN ON HOW THIS NEW MOON IN LIBRA WILL AFFECT US.

This week has been full of cosmic moments as we celebrated 11/11/2020 (THE perfect day for manifesting the best of vibes that actually extends to 11/15), today being Friday the 13th, and also the day the new moon goes in to Scorpio. But, what does all of that mean? No worries, Shawnte’s got us covered!

A+P: The New Moon is in Scorpio. What exactly does that mean?

SC: This Scorpio New Moon brings in a sultry, but powerful vibe to the sky. The Sun and Moon will be making a powerful sextile to Saturn in Capricorn. Birthing opportunity to regenerate healed after lessons on boundaries, worth, and work. It’s still Spooky Season and with all that’s happening in our outer world and Eclipse Season on the way, there’s no better time for protection workings.

A+P: Is there anything you’d recommend for protection?

SC: Here’s something fairly easy and simple anyone could do for protection:

1 White candle (in a glass, usually available at Walmart or Walgreens)

Olive Oil

A Protection Mantra:

I am safe

I am protected

My loved ones are safe and protected

No Harm will come to me or those I love

I am safe from all that wishes to do me harm

and so it is

Let the candle burn itself out or set it out each time you leave the house but don’t BLOW the candle out.
