Scorpio New Moon Horoscopes

At 1:27AM PT tomorrow, the moon is emptied in the sign of the Scorpion. As with anything Scorpionic, we find intense feelings at the beginning of this new lunar cycle. The Scorpio moon dares to go all in. It obsesses and feels the full spectrum of emotions. It loves so hard it hurts. Here, we leave the realm of logical thinking and acknowledge our primal needs. As the saying goes ‘the heart wants what the heart wants’. Though it may feel challenging, we can access a deeper truth that is so often difficult to put into words.

This Scorpio new moon feels extra unique to me and could be a powerful new beginning for many. Conjunct Mars and opposing Uranus, we encounter themes around disruptions, emotional breakthroughs, confrontations, and liberation. We are facing our fears so that we may be freed from them.

Though this process may take time, an illusion is ready to be released to move toward truth and authenticity. Deep emotional attachments, even if they no longer serve us, are hard to release. On this lunar journey, the first step is to allow time or space to process our feelings. If you have been feeling intense pressure lately, this may be a good time to take a break or ask for help. You may decide that you’ve changed your mind about something, and you no longer wish to keep forcing it. It may be time to let go of shame and others’ expectations, as you tap into what you truly want.

horoscopes

I have written a short horoscope for each ‘rising’ sign, which is based on the astrological transits and a tarot card. Each tarot card represents a piece of wisdom and advice on how to work with this new lunar cycle. Read this horoscope as a suggestion for action or healing during the coming weeks. Of course, rely on your own inner wisdom and intuition when interpreting these messages for yourself.

ARIES

Seek deeper healing by being of service to others. When you focus your care towards others, you will find that you care for yourself as well. If you have ‘karmic’ debts with others, seek ways to repay or relieve them. A growing sense of stability and purpose will result. (Page of Pentacles)

TAURUS

Find structure and support in your partnerships and closest alliances. Recognize with whom your values are aligned, and see opportunities for new growth and long-term stability. Assess the partnerships that are not in alignment with your values or have you feeling less secure. (4 of Pentacles)

GEMINI

Look for ways to improve your health or your daily ‘grind’. What can you cut out to improve your vitality or productivity? Recognize any negative habits that zap your mojo, and seek the tools to help you release them. You have the power to make positive changes to your well-being. (5 of Pentalces reversed)

CANCER

It is time to let go of fear and anxiety and reclaim your divine creativity. You have the power to break free from restrictive thought patterns and to begin expressing yourself more freely. Trust your instincts and your desires. (The Moon reversed)

LEO

Have you been working hard or feeling the pressure to hold it together for your family and home life? Now may be the time to take a break or slow down so that you can focus on other areas of purpose in your life. Recognizing your limits is not failure; it is the path to real success. (9 of Wands, reversed)

VIRGO

This is a time to think before you act. Keep your cards close to your chest as you develop a strategy. Remain flexible and resourceful in your communication with others, but also be aware of others’ true intentions. Pay close attention to the subtler messages you receive, and trust your intuition if you get a bad vibe. (7 of Swords)

LIBRA

Changes to your finances and/or values may be top of mind. Get clear with yourself about what your priorities are, and what you truly value before making adjustments. It’s time to simplify and perhaps part ways with certain material things that are not in alignment. (Ace of Swords, reversed)

SCORPIO

What kind of leader are you, and what example do you set for others? The new moon in your sign is a time to reflect on your role in the world, and consider making adjustments. You may be experiencing the pressure to perform a certain role, and you aren’t feeling like yourself. Take time to connect with your inner being and work to release the pressure of expectations. Others will appreciate you for being true to yourself. (King of Wands, reversed)

SAGITTARIUS

Recognize where you may be subconsciously holding onto the past and holding yourself back from your potential. See where you can make peace with the past so that you can live more fully in the present. Perhaps you can receive deep-felt closure and be liberated. (6 of Cups, reversed)

CAPRICORN

There are times to follow the rules and there are times to break them. Now may be the time to let go of conformity. If you have been pressured to fit into a certain group or network, you may be feeling ready to go against the grain. Access your inner authority and let it be your guide. (Emperor, reversed)

AQUARIUS

Consider what your aspirations and goals are at this time. Have your ambitions been shifting? It may be time to listen to your inner voice and allow yourself to get clear with your true desires. Don’t let others’ opinions sway you too much in the process. (Two of Wands, reversed)

PISCES

Your belief systems may be under evaluation or adjustment during this lunar cycle. Consider what feels missing or where you feel disconnected from your faith. Take action to revive your love of learning and rekindle your inner spark with a new spiritual practice. (The World, reversed)

Happy new moon,

Suzy

Fallen Scorpio Moon + Bjork

Bjork is a stunning example of all things Scorpio. If you are unaware, she is a well-known musician in Iceland who is known for her 'out there' surreal performances. I became a huge fan back in the 90's, when I saw her first music video on MTV. Recently, I was studying her natal chart and admiring all the Scorpio magic she brings to the world. She has the Sun, Moon, ascendant, and Neptune in Scorpio and in the house of self. In other words, her identity, her emotions and effortless imagination are on full display to the world. She has a unique and otherworldly Scorpio style that is 100% her own making.

The sign of Scorpio is ruled by Mars traditionally, and this gives her a noticeable intensity. Her moon is rising above the ascendant, which means her deep and fraught emotions are fully exposed to the world. She wears her deeply tender heart on her sleeve, and it is thus inextricably part of her persona. So if we are looking for a good example of Scorpio moon energy in a human, Bjork is a great example!

In ancient astrology, the moon is considered 'fallen' in the sign of Scorpio. The term 'fallen' here means the moon often gets lost in its feelings and has trouble letting go of distraught emotions and attachments. A Scorpio moon burned does not easily forget, and it takes dedicated work to heal a broken heart. There is a capacity to feel the lowest lows and the highest highs with a Scorpio moon.

Bjork's deep sensitivities undoubtedly inspire her work, and she uses her creative expression to navigate and heal the domain of her heart. Instead of burying the feelings deep inside, she unveils them through her music. She confronts her shadows through her creative expression. One song that beautifully depicts this, is the song "Jóga" from the Homogenic album. You can listen on YouTube here. The lyrics from this song seem to capture the essence of the Scorpio moon so perfectly:

"I feel... Emotional landscapes
They puzzle me
Then the riddle gets solved
And you push me up to this
State of emergency
How beautiful to be
State of emergency
Is where I want to be
All that no-one sees
You see
What's inside of me
Every nerve that hurts
You heal
Deep inside of me
You don't have to speak
I feel"

Thus, on this Scorpio new moon, you can find a little inspiration from Bjork. She productively channels her intense emotions into her work, and we can do the same.
