Scorpio season is upon us, a time when we instinctively turn inward to explore the hidden depths of our psyche. This powerful soul-searching reaches its peak under the New Moon in Scorpio, which calls us to shed old layers, not merely for release, but for the transformative gift of reclaiming what lies beneath the surface and weaving it into something wholly reborn.
Scorpio, the fixed water sign, seeks depth through intense human experiences. With an unrelenting focus and a natural affinity for the dark side of life, Scorpio embodies 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.
Pluto in Capricorn & Mars in Cancer
A potent opposition between the ruling planets of Scorpio—Pluto in Capricorn and Mars in Cancer, both at the critical 29th degree—creates a compelling tension and heightened awareness. Pluto in Capricorn embodies authority, structure, and the relentless drive to realize a tangible, higher purpose. Meanwhile, 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 confront the fears that keep us guarded or reactive. The gift of this alignment of Pluto and Mars lies in acknowledging, balancing, and integrating both our strength and vulnerabilities.
Mercury in Scorpio
Mercury, though not in close degree to the other planets, also resides in Scorpio, adding increased mental focus and honest communication, which can be helpful during this lunar phase. However, Scorpio’s natural skepticism and attunement to all that is unsettling can also lead to cynicism and excessive moodiness. To counteract this, speaking freely with a trusted friend or loved one can help us regain a more balanced perspective.
Saturn retrograde in Pisces
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 practices. This New Moon phase can stir up strong, raw emotions, but with Saturn in Pisces’ disciplined devotion and patience, we can find our way back to healing compassion for ourselves and others.
A New Moon for deep transformation
This transformative 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 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 a 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. It's time to plant the seeds of authentic and meaningful new beginnings.
