Later this week, we welcome a new beginning with the Scorpio New Moon. This is a time to decide which area we wish to transform and commit to doing just that. Even though the Moon is in its Fall in Scorpio, there is a lot of juice in this New Moon if we are willing to face our shadows and decide to not be easily put off by a bit of emotional (or other) discomfort.
It is a man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.
~ Buddha
I chose the quote above to illustrate the temptation in times when the Scorpio energy is strong, to turn and focus on an enemy outside oneself. However, in truth, there is no other enemy than the enemy within. Working on self-control is always a worthy goal on the Scorpio New Moon.

Interesting to note that a whopping FIVE out of seven cards here are Majors. This is a signal that I really do need a new focus for this Scorpio New Moon. The Scorpio energy itself is showing in the Knight of Cups. The Moon is another Water Element card (Pisces) and resonates well with the Piscean King of Cups as my focus card. I’ll be diving deep into these New Moon energies, it seems!
Access Your Own Power
I want to end with this quote by Chani Nicholas to remind us all of the full potency and potential of this lunation:
The power that is available to us when we allow the truth to surface is unmatched by anything given by the outside world. This new moon is reminding us of the presence of that power. Our access to our own power. The importance of refusing any narrative that would keep us from that power.
Dark Moon Blessings )O(
