Scorpio Whispers a Question

On November 1, the Scorpio New Moon arrives like a flickering flame in a dark room, illuminating all those hidden corners you thought you'd swept clean.

Scorpio energy is potent and unapologetic; it's not here to play nice or offer small talk. Instead, it invites you to dive into your own depths, peeling back layers of your psyche as you probe the shadows that lie deep beneath your facade. But now, if you let it, this new moon could be the catalyst for a radical transformation, the kind that jolts you awake and sets you on a new path. At the heart of this lunation is the approaching Mars-Pluto opposition in Cancer and Capricorn. Mars—the planet of untamed urges—finds itself at odds with Pluto, master of secrets and transformation. Imagine it as a cosmic standoff, a push-pull between your most primal desires and the hard-won wisdom of your shadow self. Passions rise. Intensity simmers. This energy asks you to embrace what you really want, without judgment or hesitation. The question isn’t whether you feel these urges; it’s what you’re willing to do with them. Scorpio, of course, is the sign of metamorphosis, the alchemist of the zodiac. Under its influence, transformations are rarely easy, but they are thorough. This is butterfly territory—the kind of transformation that requires time in the cocoon, grappling with the shadowy parts of yourself that may be uncomfortable to confront. The beauty of this process is that it’s not just about becoming something new; it’s about integrating everything you already are. Embracing the parts of yourself that may be messy, uncertain, or even painful, but are ultimately what make you whole. Think of this new moon as an invitation to rewrite your narrative. As the energy builds, so too do opportunities to change direction, to shift perspectives, to open doors that were previously locked. New beginnings swirl around you, almost demanding to be seized. The catch? Beginnings often come with endings attached. When you’re called to step forward, something else is left behind. So, as you stand at this crossroads, Scorpio whispers a question: Who or what deserves your loyalty? This is a time to assess your commitments, not only to others but to yourself. Are you honouring the parts of you that are ready to grow, or are you holding on to an outdated version out of habit or fear? Perhaps it's a relationship, a career, a belief, or even a self-image that no longer fits who you're becoming. Loyalty can be beautiful, but it can also be a chain if it keeps you from the path that calls to you now. Let this new moon be a ritual of release, a chance to unshackle yourself from anything that feels heavy or stagnant. As you step into this fresh cycle, welcome the transformation Scorpio brings. This is a lunation to be honest with yourself, to feel your passions fully, and to allow the tides of change to wash over you, clearing away what no longer serves. This Scorpio New Moon isn’t gentle, but it is real. It offers you the chance to connect with your desires, your hidden motives, and your inner power. As you walk through this door, trust that whatever you leave behind was only ever meant to be temporary. In the space that remains, something new and beautiful is waiting to emerge.
