Scorpio season is upon us, the time of year when we instinctively turn inward, exploring the hidden depths of our psyche. This powerful soul searching, reaches a peak under the New Moon in Scorpio that asks us to shed old layers, not for the sake of mere release, but for the gift of transmutation; to reclaim what lies beneath the surface and weave it into something wholly reborn.
Scorpio, the fixed water sign, seeks depth through intense human experiences. With unrelenting focus and a natural filter for the dark side of life, Scorpio represents the archetype of the alchemist, driven to do profound healing work that confronts and pulls the shadows into the light, transforming pain into wisdom and loss into insight.
In a potent opposition that creates a compelling tension and awareness are the cosmic rulers of Scorpio; Pluto in Capricorn and Mars in Cancer, both at the critical 29th degree. Pluto in Capricorn embodies authority, structure, and the relentless urge to realize a tangible, higher purpose and Mars in Cancer brings forth a fierce protectiveness and sensitivity rooted in emotional resilience. As these energies face off at their peak, we are challenged to release outworn power dynamics and to confront the fears that keep us guarded or reactive. The gift of this alignment of Pluto and Mars is found when we acknowledge, balance and integrate both our strength and vulnerabilities.
Mercury also in Scorpio though not close in degree, adds increased mental focus and honest communication which can be helpful during this lunar phase. With Scorpio’s natural skepticism and attunement to all that is unsettling, the potential for cynicism and excessive moodiness is real. If this occurs, having a trusted friend or loved one to speak freely with can help us to regain a more holistic perspective.
Saturn retrograde in Pisces offers grounded support during this powerful and cathartic Scorpio New Moon by reminding us to realign with our intuition, personal spiritual beliefs and practice. This New Moon phase can stir up strong, raw emotions and with Saturn in Pisces’ disciplined devotion and patience, we find our way back to healing compassion for ourselves and others.
This transformational New Moon marks both the closing of one lunar phase and the birth of another, a cosmic call to deeply examine, name and honor our wounds and to unearth our personal truth. With a sense of empowerment through vulnerability, we are ready to release outdated attachments, emotional patterns, or limiting beliefs and bravely confront our deepest desires, what we truly need, even if it’s something we’ve been reluctant to acknowledge, ask for, or share with others.
In the dark of the night, trust the wisdom of your inner voice and embrace your full humanity with loving commitment to healing and wholeness. Cultivate the fierce grace to rise again where the alchemical magic of this Scorpio Moon reveals more personally aligned, soul centered choices and paths, to plant the seeds of authentic and meaningful new beginnings.
Knowing where the New or Full Moon occurs in your birthchart is the best way to understand the effect of this phase personally. If you are interested in knowing where the Newl Moon in Scorpio occurs in your birthchart, please send me your birth information. I need mm/dd/yyyy, time of birth, am/pm (as exact as possible, birth certificate is best) and city and state of birth.
