New Moon November 13th - 5 Things to Know ✨

[@reginashellenbarger6980]

We can’t ignore the shadow aspect, the unpleasant feelings. However, keeping that Love, Light, and Positive mentality is important to keep while you work through the Shadows.

[@reginashellenbarger6980]

@Alina Thank you for bringing us your joyful energy, your love, and wisdom.

[@AlinaAlign]

Absolutely agree. We need to carry & share our light. 🕯️♥️

[@mysticmel13]

those 5 minutes at the beginning where you spoke about new age spirituality and embracing our shadows, not just the light - such an important message! thank you for taking the time to remind us that. shadow work and deep inner work does not have to be a negative thing and often leads to our most positive experiences x

[@unstxr]

As a scorpio moon I'm excited for everyone to feel how I do all of the time lol. We love the shadow ! I recommend Carl Jung's work if anyone is interested in the shadow self. Everything in this video has resonated with me already. My perspective about the whole love and light thing has been tough when initially starting my spiritual journey because I'm a scorpio moon. I love vulnerability. I welcome anyone's shadow with love. To expand on the shadow, I've had these same type of nightmares that would cause sleep paralysis around the same time every year and could not figure out what was going on. Last week I finally figured out what my shadow or emotionally unconscious mind that was trying to tell me. was one of the most beautiful breakthroughs that I had spiritually in a while. Cheers to the new moon in scorpio.

[@SaraRinger]

Nothing but love and light is toxic positivity. We need balance. Light and dark. We all have shadow sides. I also think love and light gets overused and is a way to actually ignore real issues that people don’t want to face. It makes sense because sometimes we aren’t capable of it at the time but to always throw that phrase around or to use it as a way to ignore reality is not good. It’s also become this type of thing “Spiritual Guru’s” say.

[@symonemiquela6154]

Ive also had that shadow work/ transformative process with sleep paralysis! Sending love!

[@naaamerleyforpresidentofghana]

I agree. It doesn't serve us to only focus on the positive. What we resist persists, and by ignoring the dark/negative aspects, we can unknowingly make them stronger. We also miss out, given that those dark/negative aspects usually mask some of our greatest gifts. Insightful video, as always. Thank you 🙏🏾

[@Aleksandravictoria888]

DUDE I totally know what u mean abt only love and light… it’s like there’s a stigma on the “darker aspects” of life or spirituality but throughout my journey I’ve understood that painful things aren’t really scary… it’s not really pain it’s just an opportunity for growth, if there were no obstacles there would be no movement no victories no strength or progression. I’m so happy u touched on that cause it’s not even sun to be afraid of !

[@cafetime3801]

Constantly hearing "good vibes only", light and love" leads us to feel we're doing it wrong if we're down or cranky etc. An unrealistic expectation for self and others. Balance ☯️🎈🎈🎈😘

[@JanelG_Fitness]

Everything experienced is for you to grow and learn more about your greater self. There is no dark or light good or bad. It’s only lessons in experiences for all of us. Some lessons may suck and others are awesome! It’s still a lessons in it for you. ❤💃🏽💯

[@yiskapaws6916]

I’m a Scorpio sun and I’m so ready for this new moon😌 planning on doing some shadow work journaling. You’re so right, the dark parts of ourselves must be loved and embraced just as much as our light. Balance⚖️💯❤️🌹

[@PlantPoweredAlchemist]

Your writing prompt reminded me that yesterday I was…reviewing the last romantic relationship I had and why it was so different from the others and why I often “compare” any new ones to that one. I felt deep within my bones so seen and heard and appreciated and accepted for EXACTLY who I was. (I love when I’m in sync with the cycles). That person was so warm and welcoming and non judgmental! But it also was that dynamic because I was actively taking care of myself in new ways that aligned with my growth and who I saw myself as. It was an amazing experience 💙💙

[@majozajo]

Yes, I really like how you always talk about shadow side too, it's very important to heal those parts and not just positivity all the way.

[@cynthiasolomon885]

The shadow is so important. What we reject or suppress in ourselves we project on to others and the world around us. I think it’s so important to understand that most of our programming and unconscious comes from the collective. We can recognize what we want to keep and what we want to release from a place of self love not judgement. Most of the chaos and destruction in the world comes from fear and projection. Don’t judge hate or selfish or fear based thoughts and beliefs just become aware of them and be willing to let go of them and replace them with something more loving and expansive. This is how we transmute what isn’t serving us. Thank you for this great video. Love to you all ❤

[@ladybleu7617]

❤🍎❤ Bonjour Alina and top everyone in the collective. Wishing you a luminous New Moon weekend and thank you for sharing your gifts Alina.

[@AlinaAlign]

Bonjour! Thank you & happy new moon. 🙌🏾💕

[@ericastark614]

Another one who greatly appreciates your pointing out that we need to embrace our shadow sides, not just the 'love and light' side.

[@chiilca]

In keeping with the "new age" theme of love and light, I think it misses the point of a major "spiritual" thing which is integration. For me, understanding that life is about contrasts, ups and downs and that it will not always be the same (positive or negative) is somehow relieving and very powerful to accept. I'm feeling this new moon a lil bit intense but going thru itt, greeting from argentinaa

[@Rocioslane]

You can’t acknowledge light without first acknowledging darkness 🌹♥️♦️

[@JamesParker-o2n]

Alina- I appreciate the recommendation for rest and reflection. I fully agree with you on addressing shadow aspects of our lives. Addressing them leads to more of the positive experiences we seek! Thank you!

[@kristinejennings2326]

❤❤❤ yes you can’t have light without dark - a shadow is created by objects ‘in the Light’ - important to embrace both 🥰🥰🥰

[@sophialorena8885]

I will admit that I am a person who has been afraid to dive into my shadow self, but I know that I need to if I truly want to live a balanced life. ❤❤❤ Thank you from Canada for the shipping cost 😊

[@deborahmason7240]

thank you for acknowleding the shadow side and encouraging us to look within for them

[@ariannagarcia8304]

One cannot see the distant twinkle of stars and gorgeous moonlight without the night's deep dark mantle. Just as well a nap beneath the shade of an oak is just that, rest in the shadow from the sun.

[@Asviny13]

Thank you Alina. I just realized one of my shadow aspect is not being truth about my feelings. As a kid, my mom dismissed me like I was a liar for trying to tell her something that was traumatically taking place in my life. I must have written a narrative that the truth of my feelings don't matter; I will be devalued and disrespected if I express these truths in public. I learnt to shove down important honest feelings, instead of learning to work it out. This not being honest has gotten me into a lot of trouble now because I have learnt to be compliant. Learning to set boundaries to move forward and be truthful with myself and stand up for me! ❤️❤️❤️

[@savvy1128]

I love the fact that when I refreshed because I was looking for your video but kinda got lost in my fyp recommendations.. after refreshing yours was up top!

[@ardeliakillings7692]

I think that making the decision to focus on the positive allows you to bring about more positive experiences - what you think about you bring about. However, just because you have chosen to do this does not mean you ignore the negative situations, circumstances or people; it just equips you with the patience and tolerance to handle the negative stuff in a better way. It also provides you clarity to resolve the conflicts and understand other perspectives. We must acknowledge that some things are out of our control and at the end of the day we can only control ourselves and how we respond. When there is chaos and confusion, there is no peace. Taking time to find peace in the storm of a situation can enable you understand and resolve conflicts amicably. So it’s not that you want to ignore the negative shadow side of yourself or others it’s just you want to learn how to bring out the best in people, resolve conflicts better, reduce stress and find the path of least resistance. Life is to be enjoyed and while happiness looks different to each of us we can at least find joy and peace if we are intentional about what we choose to focus on.

Heyyyyy👋🏾

[@narcole]

As a Scorpio sun and moon ♏️ ☀️ 🌙 I am so ready for this new moon! I’m leaning into it and focusing on intuitive reflection, thank u for always sharing the balance and realities of the transits❤️❤️❤️

[@yunaklimek]

❤❤❤ Scorpio Moon here ✨️ Been taking a pause in everything in my life right now. Im really enjoying the silence with this new moon energy for me.

[@MelS-ve9wd]

Finding your channel in the past year has prompted such crazy, wonderful changes in my life. Thank you, THANK YOU, for your videos! Your insights and journal prompts have been absolutely essential in helping me shift out of some really negative thinking patterns, and I wish that I could tell you in person just how much it's meant to me. I'm a solar Virgo, lunar Scorpio, and I feel like the last few months have felt like shedding a heavy old skin and leaving me with a nice, shiny new spirit. Thanks again for everything you do, you're amazing! ❤❤❤

[@LadyRushie]

❤️♥️🐞 this is beautifully done.

[@HekateMaenad]

Spot on! Shadow can also include suppressed skillsets and talents. Bingo! It's the only way to go! Hail Hekate! ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

[@meaganfowler7700]

💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 I love your videos, from a sun and moon scorpio, shadow work is ESSENTIAL!!!

[@justdomiee]

Only focusing on the positives kinda aligns with the trend of being delulu and while that has its advantages, the problems below the facade still do damage. We can only pretend for so long before those things resurface. I personally think the discomfort of shadow work is worth the authentic experience of peace at the end.

[@DheaMohammed]

There can’t be light without darkness! ❤️🚩📅

[@chiffonheadstrong4271]

Thank you for the work you are doing through Collective Perspective. Caring for others, particularly those holding marginalized identities, is an integral part of my path. I didn't think i could chime with you more than i already have, but this is so very en pointe. Thank you 🙏

[@68dbass]

This was really in depth. I really appreciate how you made the context relatable. Thank you!❤️💃🏽🌹

[@AlinaAlign]

Glad it was helpful! Happy new moon & thank you❤❤

[@LAURIESUE62]

I kind of decided to stay in love and light, and I stopped watching the news 3 years ago, I peek every now and again but I cannot take all that, watching any of that is just Doom and Gloom. That's where I'm at these day. I'm also very outgoing and I became a hermit. People have changed and just want to fight. A lot of division in my neck of the woods. I'm in the middle of LA and I have been through hell out here. I am a very strong empath and I'm better off not knowing certain things, I just pick it up anyway. So I am going to stick with the loving and happy thoughts and thinking, art and nature. When my hometown of Maui Lahaina burnt down on August 8th, less than a week before my birthday, I did too, I will no longer allow myself to feel as intensely as I did that day., it took me out. I am a triple Leo, it became very personal for so many reasons, I lost my mother this year it will be exactly one year this thanksgiving). that was our place our condo is there. Everybody's different. I don't disagree with you. I just can't look at Darkness right now, its surrounding me, its surrounding so many. I don't have to let it in.Its a choice. Hugs always, Laurie from LA, I'm also from Ukraine and I'm Jewish so..... the news is just a little too much for me right now. I guess I should mention that I am also an active member of Al-Anon who has worked through a whole lot of her Shadow work, only to find I'm never really done.❤☯️🌞✌️🦋🌷🌺🙏🌙 15:07

[@ChelseaSpeaks]

❤❤❤ just ordered the planner! So excited and also very thankful for you ✨☺️

[@AlinaAlign]

Nice! Excited for you to enjoy it soon!♥️

[@Aleksandravictoria888]

Also so happy u did scorpio so accurately ☺️ ima scorpio rising

[@noahkael444]

omg and the quote at the end almost had me tearing up IDK WHY LOLLL .. ive been saying it so much to myself and others recently, it really struck a chord and i had a "big picture moment" truly. because it IS absout the JOURNEY. the steps we take to get where we want. we may et there easily, we may have a few bumps in the road, it may feel like we'll never get there, we may never know when we'll get there. but it just really hit my heart, in a good way. thank you again 🥰❤💄🫀💃🦂🌹

[@AlinaAlign]

I'm so glad that resonated with you and has been something you've been repeating to yourself. It's been such a great anchor in my life and I appreciate your explanation here! Happy new moon Noah!💜💜💜

[@JamesParker-o2n]

🎯🎯🎯. That’s how I feel about this video! Awesome work, Alina!

[@mjoyyourself]

In the first 25 seconds, and she is READING MY LIFe rn!!!!!!!!😳😱🤯

[@patriciamihaela2161]

the collective perspective segment is a wonderful idea; truly working with the energy of the transits to honour the current themes while helping the community. thank you! 🌹❤‍🔥🔥

[@Ashaun209]

❤❤❤ it’s impossible to only be love and light or actually it can but if you understand love and light it’s about patience and truth and understanding so with that comes shining light onto those things that also hurt 😊

[@MarsFang156]

Thank you for your knowledge ❤🍓🌹 recently I am more active in doing shadow work to heal myself. I feel free. I was scared before to face my shadow, now I brave myself to move forward.

[@sherijohnson3239]

🌹♥️🧣Thank you for this! I definitely have some shadow work to do with this new moon…always appreciate the knowledge that you have and share with the world! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! And happy new moon everyone! ❤

[@ANOURUK]

💋💋💋 i recommend your journal to everyone who enjoys astrology and wont stop🥵 as a scorpio moon, i've been excited and enjoying the ride of these divine transformations. i feel so brand new already😍

[@KarenGriffith_SoulfulCoaching]

Thank you Alina. Thanks to your constant reminders I have done a few charity endeavours recently. Also my take on ‘love & light’ and my experience of those that practise, is toxic positivity and by passing of their toxicity to push back on not taking responsibility for their part in issues. It’s not normal.

[@leanndraboyer]

Already preordered my planner and notebook!!!

[@catherine3340]

Thank you so much Alma for sharing ❤❤❤

[@makaila333]

❤️❤️❤️ I want to dive more into my shadow self. Allowing these things to come to the surface to heal is something that sounds gratifying.

Thanks so much!!!! I am looking forward to the planner :)

[@tracykibue4211]

🛑🛑🛑 Thank you, Alina. The negative side has to be there,for there to be a positive side, and not looking at it can make you miss out on certain emotions in life that can make you more smart and wise,😊.

[@Empre55]

Thanks Alina for touching on shadow work on the impact of new age toxic positivity. 😊 🏮🍒🌶️

[@skellexis404]

I normally haven’t tracked moon cycles, but this is really resonating with me. I may have to learn more about these. Everything said makes a lot of sense in my mind, like I could feel it coming.

[@DanielleDanielle9896]

🔴🔴🔴 This new moon has been intense for me emotionally. I’ve been facing some hard truths and resentments with my relationship with my Mom that need to be addressed. I struggle with speaking up and setting boundaries and speaking my truth, so it has been very hard. But I have support and have been working through it in therapy. Thank you for this astrological insight Alina!

[@carmeladams9566]

❤❤❤ Thank you. This is the first time I have listened to you. Great advice just in general (forgetting astrology). Greetings from Australia.

[@normajeanfromabilene]

❤❤❤ Thanks, Alina. Happy Scorpio New 🌚 Moon to you! Rock on, man! 👏

[@celacadena]

I love what you said about shedding light on the shadow because it's true, it can't be all about the positive aspects. We got take care of the entirety of it. Love your videos! I will definitely be checkin out your planner! So happy to see how far you've come!!🎴

[@Saafyr]

I agree about this new age spiritual love and light energy, but i also feel this year there has been a balance of encouraging shadow work and therapeutic care. I think we need both to maintain balance and found our DAO (our center).

[@Zaagi_lexi]

Hey girl ❤️‍🔥 Thank you for your astro insights, I look forward to these ! I believe people in the western world are moving through a lot of trauma around the concept of “work” because it is so often associated with worth in our culture so they are pushing away the more challenging parts of spirituality like inner work/reflection because taking ownership of their path can be uncomfortable. I have 5 Scorpio placements so I love inner work lmao but I see a lot of western spirituality avoiding it and calling it “divine trust.” Like they are using spirituality as escapism and an excuse to throw their hands up and surrender to their circumstances. I think there is a balance because inner work/reflection empowers us if we allow it to be an opportunity to get clarity and learn the lessons so we can manifest our blessings ! A dream without action is just a wish! It’s up to us to integrate the lessons so we can experience our highest joy !

[@asanawithashanna6717]

I’m really glad you enjoyed yours!!

[@noahkael444]

just watched this.. what a perfect way to start my day :') i woke up after just having a very (scorpio aspect) triggering dream. got me thinking about my jealousy & territorial behaviors (like i said very scorpio aspect hehe) this video put me at ease in a way, gave me something to channel my energy towards besides being impulsive. thank you for all the information in here, it was brilliant!! i look forward to sitting with myself tonight and doing some reflecting and meditating, on those journal prompts and in general. this was awesome, thank you Alina!!

[@-kate-]

Hi Alina! I'd love to see more videos where you talk about your takes on western new age spirituality like 4:05 :) I found your thoughts on the toxic positivity aspect really insightful!

🎒🐞🧣went through a lot of deep loss whithin the last two years and still feel the pain to look straight into that, but I know I cannot resist my whole live.

Today I will start something by new by starting to Journal🌟 Thänx for get me moving🧚🐬🌎

[@julga-me]

I love your videos, and this one explained so much stuff about myself and my history (scorpio moon). I feel confident to face whatever comes with this new lunation, and im very grateful for your guidance. thank you ❤🤡💃📿

[@nyreeandrews1302]

Timothy Halloran from RasaLila Astrology also speaks to the shunning of shadow present in areas of the spiritual community. Couldn’t agree with you guys more. Embracing wholeness means embracing wholeness! Some people didn’t get the memo! ❤❤❤

[@omniscent2921]

❤️❤️‍🔥 Hi Alina❣️ wishing you a wonderful new moon this weekend Where there's dark, there's always a light 🕯️ and visa versa, can't work on the lighter and brighter side when we don't acknowledge the dark, so glad you brought up this topic 🫰🫰

[@simmsw1]

💯❤💢 I'm growing to accept the shadow self and rise higher. I was always taught to speak good and positive...but I see that had me stuck in rut. Thanks for reminding us. 🙏🏽

[@lizfilippone7515]

❤❤❤ these emojis were available at the time lol but I find this work so important no matter how uncomfortable it is. Thank you!

[@joyfulhealer808]

Great video! Light and shadow are old friends indeed. Both are needed for different reasons. You also asked for opinions on what’s happening in the world to be considered low vibrational. To an extent, when the collective is operating mostly out of fear that is a dense energy. Not saying it’s good or bad, inferior or superior. It just is. Just as everything that happens on this planet happens as it should in order for true evolution to occur. We can’t experience a different reality until we learn from this one. By the same token I believe we can also co-create something new with enough souls setting the intention for it to be so.

[@gemstar7447]

Thank you Alina I feel inspired to introspect ❤🏮⛩

[@gift.from.goddess]

👩🏿‍🦰👄🍒 Thank you for this. Definitely needed this message! Happy new moon!!

[@savanahdougans7053]

RE the new age dilemma with being 'all love and light'. I went through a very dark and depressive time after my mother committed suicide and I was experiencing the most intense, dark shadows. During this time I really got to see how damaging toxic positivity can be. It made me feel like absolute shit and it actually revealed to me how shallow it can come across. The people who supported me and had empathy for me were the people that were true love in my eyes.

[@yinpassion7817]

I agree that allowing the shadow aspect is necessary and that it’s a part of the love and light mentality. I feel that allowing whatever emotions and thoughts to come up without judgment is part of the process of tapping more into your light. I do think, though, that at times people have probably gone too far in both directions, either towards toxic positivity or towards losing their objective self by getting lost in and identified with intense emotions. Possibly I think that a positive mentality is a sort of necessary precursor before you’re able to remain grounded as you move through difficult emotions?

[@tiffanywalker1312]

Before I undestood the laws of the universe I considered it negative. But now that I know its rhythm and energy I process it more matter of facts. Like I have more information to figure out my life and view it as helpful.

[@west1554]

💢❤🥵 i love Scorpionic energy because it’s incapable of emotional or spiritual bypass. The new age has turned spirituality into a trend. Something cute to display online or wear on a t shirt but in reality this is messy, dirty, difficult work. The relationships and experiences that derive from being real, raw and honest about the highs, lows, lovely and ugly aspects of the journey are the ones that sustain you through a lifetime. I’m currently reflecting on why my individuality is important in the scope of the collective as well as my relationships to binaries and how I can make better more authentic decisions by finding the spaces that exist between my own needs and the needs of those around me. Great video as always. I’m going to get the journal asap.

[@sarahlaurenglasgow801]

Love this video Alina ❤ thank you
