#UNFILTERED Moon Musings :: New Moon In Scorpio :: Slow and Deep is the Medicine
It’s Scorpio season and we’re taking it slow this new moon and week of Halloween & Samhain. Today Venessa and Megan talk about how this Scorpio moon is calling us to deepen our intentions and dares us to find a place in our life experience where we can take it slow.
We share some of what we’ve been struggling with on a personal level, and the surprising remedies this moon has offered us. We discuss Scorpio’s influence on our 2nd chakra & reproductive organs, and how the medicine of Slowness facilitates deep healing & transformation in these areas (and assists other remedies such as our “hormone balancing” herbal allies and foods to work even better, or at all).
From Slow Food to Slow Making, this moon and season we are inviting you to literally carve out moments of stillness and savor the medicine.
