New Moon in Scorpio
On November 15, we'll see a New Moon in Scorpio – one of the most ferocious signs of the zodiac, which means this cycle is a time to transform, celebrate and full embody your emotional strength. This New Moon aligns with expansive, deep Jupiter and expressive, strong Pluto, calling for you to take your power back this season.
Scorpio is an interesting and perplexing sign, be prepared for this New Moon to shake loose long-held secrets. Ruled by the element of water, Scorpio feels very deeply, but, unlike its fellow water signs Pisces and Cancer, it’s much more comfortable keeping those emotions close to the vest rather than expressing them outwardly. People born under this sign are more likely to plumb the depths of their psyches in private than they are to speak their minds to anyone who asks. They see secrets and truth as currency only worth spending on those who are truly worth it — which, often means only themselves.
Now it is more important than ever to find your safe space. Find or create a place where you can feel safe to release your most vulnerable emotions. Scorpio is often associated with the second chakra, our Sacral Chakra governed by the sexual organs. The Sacral Chakra is instrumental in developing flexibility in life as it regulates the flow of emotions and thoughts. It is the center of sexuality, our emotions, sensations, pleasures, movement and nurturance. As we tap into this place you may feel deep emotions, maybe even tap into lost or new connections.

It is safe for me to feel – New Moon in Scorpio Yoga
Scorpio New Moons are good for working on our self-mastery skills. We may want to pinpoint the things in our lives that make us feel out of control, such as addictions and debts, and work on freeing ourselves of these emotional burdens. This New Moon cycle is also the perfect one to explore what is missing in our lives that leads us to engage in these self-destructive behaviors.
One of Scorpio’s “lessons” involve learning to dig deeper into the mysteries around us instead of always being content with the status quo. Taking the time to understand what drives others’ can help enhance our feelings of intimacy, forgiveness, and sense of purpose. Scorpio also teaches us that dedication to one meaningful relationship or undertaking can be significantly more satisfying than spreading ourselves around— quality over quantity. We might want to use this cycle to work on focusing on and developing one special project or relationship to help find our purpose. This is when it is most important to remember that it may not be easy, but it will always be worth it.
Our New Moon Mantra is:
“It is safe for me to feel.”
Did you know that Katy Perry—a triple Scorpio (sun, moon, and rising)—was dropped by three labels before "I Kissed a Girl" launched her to fame? At its highest manifestation, Scorpio is like a phoenix, rising from the ashes of despair to create new life.
If you shut down because of fear or a perceived failure, this New Moon can put you back on the path to progress. But first, be honest with yourself about any painful emotions you've been hanging on to. Are you disappointed? Discouraged? Down in the dumps? Find supportive people who can safely hold space while you share your vulnerable emotions. Just make sure you don't stop there! Once you've acknowledged the past, you can begin the work towards becoming your highest self.
