NEW MOON IN SCORPIO TAROT: A lot of shadow is coming up for folks with this new moon — but trust that it’s all emerging to be tended to with love and patience.
The alchemizing that can occur when we’re willing to show up for the “worst” parts of ourselves — the aspects we wish weren’t there, that we ignore, or have banished to the furthest reaches of our self-hood…
Those parts can really drive the bus, especially when we’re striving out in the world for recognition, validation, or belonging.
Every single one of us has a shadow, and if we exile it, it only grows stronger. Pretending that we’re perfect, or exempt from selfishness, jealousy, anger, impatience, or many other reviled character traits is a recipe for not only spiritual bypassing, but also for behaving in unconscious and harmful ways — towards ourselves and others.
So much of this stuff comes up strongly when we’re in spiritual community — especially if we were raised in (or are still participating in) ideas of the divine that are punitive, or based in ideals of purity. This is how a lot of high-control religions, groups, and cults function, and what they feed off.
Conversely, if you’re able to find spiritual community where your humanity and shadow aren’t demonized, but accepted and welcomed to be healed and integrated, there’s so much depth of support and motivating energy to move through fear, lack of self-worth, and limiting beliefs.
Are we willing to abide with the parts of our hearts we’re deeply ashamed of and embarrassed by — to serve them some tea, and even give them a little forehead kiss? It’s the only way to break through, and not be help back in that dim basement by them!
Join us later this evening to discuss how to begin. We’ll be laying all this down for discussion TONIGHT (Wednesday, 11/19), around 9:30pm CST on IG live for the Scorpio new moon tarot broadcast – I hope you’ll come and join in that conversation!
