Dive into the depths of your emotions to shed your skin and transform during the Scorpio new moon

We are entering a new lunar phase on November 1st; the New moon. As the Moon changes signs approximately every 2-3 days, we feel the influence over our moods and intuition shift. This month we find the moon in the investigative, intuitive, passionate, emotional, sensual, and transformative, sign; Scorpio. The Scorpio New Moon on November 1st, brings a lot of intensity and passion, especially focused on new beginnings, new ventures, new relationships, and the beginning of new karmic cycles. The energy of this Scorpio new moon will feel very similar to that of the lunar eclipse. It’s a time for purging, changing, and reassessing our lives. This new Moon, more than others this year, opens a doorway to the subconscious, allowing us to see energies normally hidden. With the energy of the transformative, investigative, and intuitive Scorpio new moon happening right when the veil is the thinnest during the year, it is time for us to become intimately aware and familiar with our shadows and what we keep hidden. Which can allow us to grab onto this moment of profound transformation and self-discovery. We likely need to work on a major transformation, and this can be intense, but ultimately leads to solutions and frees us. This is a time when you’ll look within to truly understand the depths of your feelings. This period of introspection could lead to greater self-awareness as well as an awareness of those around you including your relationships with others and yourself. This Scorpio new moon will have us diving into an ocean of emotion asking us to look at how we support not only others but ourselves. Giving us the passion to speak up and express what it is we need to feel supported that is seeded deep within our hearts. Come dive into the depths of your emotions and investigate what you find there to shed your current skin in transformation with the Scorpio new moon in this blogpost.

New moon what it is and why we honor it

Every month, the New Moon carries us over the threshold of a new beginning. So, let’s talk about the new moon in general before we reorder the soils of our lives with new moon in Virgo. The new moon is the time to reflect and cleanse your energy. It is a time to set your intentions for what you wish to attract this lunar cycle. But, remember every intention set requires action and energy from your part as well. You can’t just set an intention and miraculously it is yours. You must also put the movement of energy behind it with action steps.

The new moon energy is there to support you in manifesting what you want. The new moon is a time to allow new ideas and energy to flow with you. It is a time to honor new beginnings, and the turning over of a cycle. Think of these intentions as seeds you are planting for this lunar cycle to be ready to harvest by the full moon. Use this time to rest, reflect, and plant what you will grow just as your ancestors across many cultures did while there was little light in the night sky for them to use.

Each New Moon is unique, offering its own magic within each month.

So, who is Scorpio?

Scorpio, the ruler of the 8th house is one of the most misunderstood signs of the zodiac. Because of its incredible passion and power, Scorpio is often mistaken for a fire sign. In fact, Scorpio is a fixed water sign that derives its strength from the psychic, emotional realm. Scorpio is associated with the underworld and the dark side of human nature. That is because it is ruled by the planet Pluto, who has dominion over the underworld, aka the realm of the dead. But, keep in mind dark doesn’t mean evil or bad, it simply means the absence of light, and the stuff hidden out of our sight. Scorpio is a unique sign though, because it is thought to be dually ruled. Scorpio’s traditional ruler is the planet Mars. This accounts for the somewhat aggressive and manipulative nature of the scorpion we see, representing this sign with it’s venomous sting. The modern ruler of the sign is Pluto, which emphasizes its themes of transformation, death and rebirth.

The Scorpio Constellation

The Scorpius constellation is located in the Southern celestial hemisphere, where it sits near the center of the Milky Way. It is also one of the brightest constellations in the sky.

In Greek mythology, the constellation Scorpius was identified with the scorpion sent by Gaia, that stung Orion, the mythical hunter. This was all after he claimed there was no animal on Earth he couldn’t kill. When Orion began bragging, he would kill every animal, the Earth goddess Gaia sent Scorpius the Scorpion to sting and kill Orion instead. Ever since the two lie opposite each other in the sky, and Orion is said to be fleeing from the scorpion as it sets just as Scorpius rises. In one version of the myth, Orion tried to rape the virginal goddess Artemis and she sent the scorpion to punish him for that violation.

In another part of the world Hawaii, it has a different tale attached to another figure Maui. In Hawaii, they know Scorpio as the demigod Maui’s Fishhook. One day Maui went fishing with his brothers in their outrigger canoe. He brought with him a magic fishhook, instructing his brothers that whatever he caught with it, they were to continue paddling and never look back. Maui caught a huge object and asked his brothers to paddle harder while he pulled the line. As Maui hauled, many rocks appeared. The more he pulled, the more rocks appeared. Finally, he pulled hard enough that the large chunks of land surfaced from the ocean, which became known as Hawaii.

Scorpio the scorpion

The scorpion is Scorpio’s primary symbol. Scorpions inflict disabling stings with their tails, and they’re considered rather cunning and/or vengeful. The scorpion is an amazing, complex creature that is bent on survival. It’s hostile, defensive, cautious, and has a keen sense of its surroundings. Scorpions crawl on the ground, hide in dark corners, and, if threatened, strike out with their deadly tails. Much like the Scorpion would rather kill itself than be killed, Scorpio is the Sign giving us the ultimate control over our destiny.

Themes for the Scorpio new moon

Every New Moon contains its own themes, which are related to the sign that it falls under. This time, we experience the New Moon in the investigative, intuitive, passionate, emotional, sensual, and transformative sign of the scorpion; Scorpio. The Scorpio New Moon is all about diving into the depths of your subconscious and riding the waves of our emotions to healing, hidden secrets and deep transformation. It’s about being brave enough to confront the dark parts of your life and who you are allowing it to heal your deepest scars and alchemize it into power and manifesting the life you truly want. This Scorpio new moon is an opportunity to plant seeds of transformation and invite profound and lasting change in our reality by letting go of what has run its course or no longer serves us. This new moon coming right after the veil being pulled back on Samhain night creates a very cyclical karmic energy adding a boost to the already present energy of new beginnings. Let’s explore some of the themes and energies of Libra deeper below.

Let’s explore some of the themes and energies of Scorpio deeper below.

Scorpio the sign of alchemy and transformation

Scorpio rules over the process of alchemy and transformation. Scorpio is all about who you are becoming in relationship to life and the journey of embodying your true authentic power. This is because, it is not only a water sign connected to our emotions and intuition but, also ruled by the planet Pluto. Pluto, is the planet of transformation, the underworld, and death. This means death in the sense that something comes to an end and transforms into something else (very similar to the Death card in tarot). I talk about this all the time in my classes. Death is crucial and central to every area of our lives especially when it comes to profound transformation, healing, and enlightenment. A death of some kind must happen for something to be born. This is an opportunity to WELCOME and honor how you are changing shape. It is Scorpio who companions us on the journey to the underworld as we look at the areas of our life that need our tender love and compassion. Take advantage of this transformational moment and try not to run away from the darkness and the breaking apart. The intention is to break to rebuild. Scorpio has this ability to regenerate and transform like no one else and always comes out stronger from a battle. As the sign of extremes, Scorpio energy can draw out both our darkest shadows and our most enlightened selves.

Scorpio the sign of Investigating the dark and deep

Have you already heard that Scorpio is the most intense sign of the zodiac? This is because it’s a water sign, so it’s ruled by emotions, and is always looking inside like a detective. Its gaze is investigative and never fears the truth. A new moon Scorpio is known as a time of deep introspection caused by the depth of our emotions. Scorpio isn’t afraid to explore dark or deep things, making it a very psychic and investigative sign that isn’t afraid of diving deep into dark depths of the ocean in our hearts. And like the depths of the ocean even if we come up for a breath Scorpio will pull you relentlessly back down, again, and again, and again. Down, into the depths of your emotions until you no longer fight the waves of your emotions but, succumb to the ebb and flow of the endless waves. This period of introspection could lead to greater self-awareness as well as an awareness of those around you. This ability to get in touch with the intricacy of your own emotions gives you the insight needed to understand others’ motivations. Don’t be surprised if you have a few light bulb moments during this time.

Scorpio the sign of unleashed sexual desires

Scorpio is the sign most closely associated with sex: this is due to their enigmatic nature which is what makes them so seductive and beguiling. This sign even rules our reproductive and sexual organs! Sex isn’t solely about pleasure for these sensual scorpions though. They also crave the physical closeness, spiritual illumination, and emotional intimacy sex can provide. When the moon is in the sign of Scorpio it is oozing sexual passion, and desire. With it also being a time about going into your dark depths you may have some desires being illuminated you normally shy away from or simply have not acknowledged. This is the perfect time to not run and hide from them but, to approach them without fear and experience the waves of pleasure those dark sexual desires can bring you and your partner. Use this energy to expand and unleash your sexual pleasure with your deepest sexual desires coming to the surface from the depths where you let them usually rest. Than tap into the enlightenment, enhanced intimacy, and manifestations powers this boosted raw sexual power can have in your sex magic.

What To Be Cautious Of This Scorpio New Moon

Since Scorpio has a tendency to bring anything hidden to the surface, your truth radar may be sending you additional communications. Listening to your gut instinct is important now, and especially due to the volatility of this energy. But, be very mindful to exercise emotional maturity if something needs to be addressed. It could be easy, during this window, to end up in emotional drama, conflict, or to simply blow up on others with our words. So stay conscious of your emotional awareness and use this powerhouse energy to fuel your desires instead of getting steeped in drama, conflict, and damaged relationships.

Scorpio new moon and duality

Since, I am a grey witch every single energy I work with I look for the duality in that energy and how I can connect to it. First, let’s talk about the duality of Scorpio. I find a lot of duality in Scorpio from the give and take of sexual passion, to the spectrum of our emotions we feel. But the most profound aspect of duality with Scorpio I feel is it’s investigative nature with our emotions and the deepest parts of ourselves. The need to dive deep into our subconscious, and investigate the feelings we keep hidden in dark can be a powerful container of duality. It’s a time when we are called to sit with the uncomfortable truths within us, the ones we’ve been avoiding, and allow them to lead us toward profound personal growth. The balance between these forces can feel like a dance between surrender and action, and healing and discomfort.

Second; the new moon itself is all about duality and illuminating the night sky in both light and shadows. The new moon is all about rebirth, renewal, and the beginning of a new cycle, which puts you in a transitional liminal space, energy, and time. In order for you to be in a space to begin again, to transition, and be reborn you had to just come from and ending and death. If you want to know more about duality and being a grey witch you can watch my class with Divination Academy about it here.

Scorpio New moon transformation spell

This spell some may not be able to do but, if you can it connects you to the energy of water and the transformative energy Scorpio sends crashing into our souls this new moon.

To do this spell you need to be able to get yourself somewhere sacred in the woods where you may find a running river, creek, or brook.

What you will need: a spell bag or pouch, a piece of paper and pen, rosemary, ginger, coriander, tea leaves, cinnamon, mint, lavender, Dandelion (flower or seeds)

How to perform: Go to a wooded area and find a tree with a branch hanging near your water source. Sit down, and get yourself into sacred container. Taking in a deep breath and focusing on the smells, sights, and sounds of the transformation in nature all around. Then with a deep willingness and readiness in your heart to change, grow, and transform take your pen and paper and write your intention. Once done take the paper and place it into your pouch or spell bag locking your commitment and intention to change inside. With your next big breath take your herbs and add them as well if you would like you could even add a piece of hematite. Then hold your spell bag in your hands once again taking in a deep breath pulling in the energies of transformation all around especially the running water you have found. Envision the intention you had set and all the work it will take to go deep within the depths of your emotions to transform your life and how you feel.
