In this installment of our monthly salons on the New Moon, Salome’s resident astrologer, Carol Ferris, will offer insights into the astrology of the month ahead.
In November, the New Moon is in Scorpio:
The dragon fight is a universal motif, but it is particularly relevant to Scorpio, who must confront in perhaps greater depth and more frequently this reptilian face of instinctual life with its terrifying and destructive power.
- “The Astrology of Fate” by Liz Greene (pp 228-229)
It’s during this time of year that the nights grow longer, temperatures drop, and Nature turns deeply inward and downward to create new life from death. If Scorpios are famously intense and passionate, bad at small talk and conventional conversation, it is because they are born at a time when life is taking itself very seriously, in the depths of winter, when all life struggles to exist.
In classical Chinese Medical philosophy, this time of year is associated with the organ system we call the Pericardium, the powerful muscle sheath that protects the heart. As darkness rises, the heart rests behind the careful watcher, able to prepare renewal in the deep dark of endings, loss, and regeneration.
What will we say goodbye to? Now that harvest is over, weighed, measured, and stored, what will be distilled and preserved in this, the balsamic time of year?
Note: If you have a copy of your own horoscope, it will be possible to trace these currents to your own experiences.

About Carol Ferris
Carol Ferris is a full-time consulting astrologer, teacher, and private tutor of astrology with four decades of experience. She completed her MA in Interdisciplinary Studies at Marylhurst University. The title of her thesis, The Sky's Body: Constellations and Medicine reflects her ongoing interest in nature-based medicine and governance thinking of the ancient Near East and Chinese philosophers and astrologers. Carol's work with the multivalent symbols of astrology is interwoven into work with dreams and active imagination. Over the years, Carol has seen these two frameworks —astrological mapping and Jungian imagery —as mutually beckoning guides to understand how all life, in its exquisite specificity, rises from a unified field.
