New Moon in Scorpio - November 20, 2006
The sign of death is featured prominently in this lunar phase of new beginnings. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, the planet of regeneration. Pluto is Lord of the Underworld, impelling Scorpio to delve deep into life, to unearth secrets and hidden knowlege. This sign also relates to the emotional intimacy and financial resources we share with another person.Since the New Moon is the start of the lunar cycle, it is a time for new beginnings. In Scorpio, we initiate deep connection. True connection requires a death of individuality. To bond with another human being, we must be willing to transcend boundaries. Scorpio follows Libra, the sign of marriage. In a partnership, sharing a bank account and a bed necessitates a relinquishment of self, a movement from mine to ours.
This New Moon conjoins astrology's two benefic planets, Jupiter and Venus. Jupiter expands Venus' desire to indulge herself. It is a pleasurable combination. However, there is a slight disconnect, with Venus having left deep-sea diving Scorpio for white-water rafting Sagittarius. Venus has gone off on her adventures, seeking sensual delights across the horizon, while Jupiter still celebrates the inner world.
Since Saturn in Leo is squaring the New Moon and Jupiter, there is a feeling of obstruction in our desire to renew ourselves. Leo thrusts himself out into the world, wanting to be the center of attention, while Scorpio puts up a wall, needing to protect her emotions from those she can't trust. Saturn's overcompensating efforts to be validated interfere with our drive to connect on an intimate level, either with a significant other or our own psyches.
The task during this New Moon is to find a way to transform, to shed your snake skin, while another part of you wants to put on your best shoes and dance, thinking that you're missing out on something that will feed your need for affirmation. Snakes spend most of their time in the water while they shed (Scorpio), which precludes basking in the glorious Sun (Leo). When it's time for a part of you to die, you need to withdraw, not seek the spotlight.
This New Moon will most directly impact those people with planets or angles around 28 degrees of fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius), as well as those whose birthdays are around February 17, May 19, August 21 or November 20.

I have my MC at 27ยบ Leo. The new moon will happen in my 1st house.
So... new beginnings in my career? A new way of being seen by others, as well as by myself?
I'd say there'd be conflict between your personal needs to transform how you relate to your environment (or as you say, "being seen by others, as well as myself") and your desire to be recognized for your contributions in your field, to achieve some career status.
Especially with Saturn close to your MC, there's a sense of hardship or delay in building your reputation or advancing in your job.
I'm a writer and that seem So true to me. It's taking way to looong and I'm sick of waiting. But I have to suck it up (?), lol. And wait.
Hi Jeffry,mz bozfriend has a neptun in 27 of scorpio in 12 house, and mercury on 29 of leo in 8 house. How it will affect him this new moon in scorpio?
Madrid,
Your boyfriend has a natal Mercury-Neptune square, which can indicate a strong poetic imagination, as well as a capacity for self-delusion. Since both of these planets are in secretive houses, I would venture to guess that he will initiate a process of letting-go through deep, unconscious work -- perhaps through dreams or meditation practice -- that activates him mentally, and spurs him on to think about how he values your relationship.
