Scorpio takes us into the underworld to confront what has been hiding in plain sight. It governs death and rebirth, initiation, power, and transformation. This is a time of depth, truth, and radical honesty. The masks are falling, revealing people, situations, and truths for what they really are.
This New Moon unearths what has been buried in our darkness, inviting us into a process of transmutation. We are being asked to shed old identities, release what no longer serves our evolution, and follow the deeper thread of our soul's becoming.
The recent Mercury and Venus retrograde have asked us to examine our thought patterns, relationships, desires, and value systems. What have we been accepting? Where have we compromised our truth?
Scorpio is the shadow dancer, the shaman, and the alchemist. Its medicine asks us to face the wounds, trauma, and shame we carry, not to relive the past, but to clear its charge and reclaim our power.
It also reminds us that resentment is a poison we drink while expecting someone else to suffer. Forgiveness isn't about excusing harm or allowing someone back into our lives.
It is about releasing the energetic attachment and setting ourselves free. We cannot move forward while remaining bound to what wounded us.
This New Moon has major tension between Mars, the South Node, and Jupiter in Leo, creating an atmosphere of heightened emotions, intensity, and potential drama.
The South Node brings old karmic patterns to the surface for another opportunity to release them. Mars brings aggression, impulsivity, and reactivity, so be mindful of unnecessary arguments and power struggles.
Jupiter magnifies whatever it touches, potentially amplifying egos, emotions, and the desire to be right. Hidden truths may come spilling into the light.
Scorpio asks us to descend into the darkness, face what we find, and allow the old self to die so something more authentic can be born.
Blessings,
