So many questions seem to come up around Halloween: What should you dress up as? Is that sexy Beyond Burger costume really you? And, of course, where are you headed in life? Okay, that last one seems a little rando, but its actually not, thanks to the New Moon in Scorpio happening on October 28.
In case youre a little vague on the whole new moon thing, heres a recap: In astronomy, a new moon happens when the earth lines up with the sun, making the moon all but invisible from Earth. There are 12 new moons a year, and each is linked up with a different zodiac sign .
Since this new moon is happening in the sign of Scorpio , its going to cause some serious mental breakthroughs on your end, says Donna Page , a certified astrologer in Atlanta. Of course, theres more to it than that (because Scorpios, amirite?). Heres what else you can expect:
What does the New Moon in Scorpio mean for your sign?
This new moon is all about embracing change and shaking things up, Page says. If youre down with that kind of stuff, then, sweet! But if you crave consistency, you could be in for a rocky ride.
During this time, try your absolute best to be flexible when it comes to new experiences. "Be open to changing your life, even if you dont know how its going to turn out," Page says. "Sometimes, its important to just try something out and do something different in order to be able to move forward."
Maybe youll suddenly score that job offer you thought was out of reach and will need to start training ASAP, or youll have a massive work project come out of nowhere that will put you up for a huge raise. Just know that you kinda-maybe-totally need to be on your A-game during this time. If you havent prepped for potential change, the new moon can throw you for a loop, Page says.
Speaking of career changes...here's the best job for your zodiac sign. (You're welcome.)
On the relationship front, youll crave something different. "Just shake things up," Page says. "Youre not going to like everything, but you wont know until you try." Wise words for the bedroom...just saying.
At the same time, youll want to experience a whole new level of openness in your 'ship. Just dont get too caught up in the little things, like wondering why your S.O. always takes his phone to the bathroom. The answer is more likely that he simply enjoys checking social media while doing his thing vs. OMG, hes totally cheating!!! (Remember, fam: Deep. Breaths.)
The New Moon in Scorpio will affect every zodiac sign, but Page says Scorpio, Taurus, Leo, and Aquarius will feel it the most.
How will the New Moon in Scorpio affect the rest of your year?
It depends on how you approach it, mkay? If youre willing to change and check out new things that crop up for you, you might find yourself suddenly on a different path in lifeone that turns out to be waaaay better than the one you were on before.
But, if you freak out over the different (and, yes, slightly scary) opps that come your way, you might end up feeling a littlestuck, in the long run.
Relationship-wise, trying out new things with your partner can help freshen up your love life. And, really, you cant go wrong with that.
When is the next new moon?
The next new moon is on November 26, in Sagittarius. This new moon will make you feel optimistic (yesss) and more likely to feel like stuff will be okay, even when youre going through serious sh*t.
Until then, find the magic in mixing things up (it's almost Halloween, after all!). You never know where itll take you.
