The Anchor of Light
This month, we are doing the deep work. We have been decoding the intense, transformative astrology of November, navigating the Mercury Retrograde, and preparing to face the primal power of Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio. It is a month of necessary, profound shadow work.
But this is only half of the cosmic equation.
The universe is always in balance. For every point of shadow, there is a point of light. For every moment of alchemy in the dark, there is a promise of radiance. While Black Moon Lilith commands our attention, her silent, powerful counterpart is holding the space for our liberation.
Her name is White Moon Selena. And this month, she is our anchor of joy.
What Is White Moon Selena
Just as Black Moon Lilith is not a planet but a point in space, so too is Selena.
While Lilith is the lunar apogee the point in the Moon’s orbit farthest from the Earth, representing our exile and shadow, Selena is the lunar perigee. She is the exact point in the Moon’s orbit where it is closest to the Earth.
She is our divine connection to pure, unearned grace. She is the point in our chart that acts as our “guardian angel”, our highest self, providing protection, blessings, and a clear channel to the divine. If Lilith is what we must reclaim from the shadow, Selena is the divine light we already are.
The Great Balance: Scorpio (Lilith) vs. Leo (Selena)
This month, this alignment is the entire story. While the Sun, the New Moon, Mercury, and Black Moon Lilith are all clustered in Scorpio, White Moon Selena is located in the proud, radiant sign of LEO.
This creates the most dynamic polarity in the zodiac
The Shadow (Lilith in Scorpio): Our hidden, alchemical power. Our secrets. Our connection to the mysteries of transformation.
The Light (Selena in Leo): Our anchor of divine grace. Leo is the sign of the Sun, radiance, our inner child, our joy, and our sovereign right to be seen and to shine.
This is the true purpose of the month’s work. The universe is guiding us to do the deep, purging, emotional work in Scorpio so that we can finally step into our most authentic, joyful, and radiant Leo selves.
We are releasing our hidden Scorpio, so we can be radically visible in our Leo radiance.
How to Use This Energy As Your Anchor in the Dark
This is your invitation to consciously connect with your anchor of light. When the Scorpio shadow work feels heavy or intense, your strategy is to turn to the gifts of Selena in Leo.
Create Joy & Happiness
Leo is the sign of pure creativity. Paint, sing, dance, write.
Connect with Your Inner Child
Do something just for the joy of it, with no other goal.

This is an act of devotion to your inner light.
