A Time for Deep Transformation 

The New Moon in Scorpio is at 12.46 GMT, Scorpio the sign associated with intensity, transformation, and introspection. As with every New Moon, this marks a time of new beginnings and fresh starts. However, with Scorpio’s influence, this particular new moon implies deep introspection and a chance to visit the deeper karmic patterns within us. Themes around this time suggest, connecting with your inner power, examining emotional reactivity, managing emotional energy and the opportunity to connect with our inner power.

 
Scorpio, a sign associated with mystery, transformation, and depth, Ruled by Pluto, its the planet of rebirth and regeneration. Scorpio asks us to look beyond the surface, delving into the more complex aspects of our lives and relationships. It’s a time for introspection, healing, and shedding old skins and patterns to emerge stronger. Its the story of Persephone, who was the daughter of Demeter (Ceres), who was abducted by Hades (Pluto) and taken to the underworld. Her mother’s grief caused the earth to wither in a harsh unending winter, eventually a deal was struck with Hades so that she could spend part of the year in the underworld and the rest of her time with her mother. It would be winter when she is in the underworld, and spring when she returns, so its a story of seasons. However the deeper meaning behind Persephone’s descent into the underworld, mirrors our own underworld experience such as dealing with loss and trauma. Persephone’s story is about embracing transformation, finding resilience through hardship and embodying the cycle of life, death and renewal. Her story is a metaphor for the journey into the darker aspects of our psyche or circumstances where we experience life’s more challenging and hidden sides. Persephone ultimately became the queen of the underworld, her role highlights the connection between the world of the living and the dead. She represents the capacity to walk between the light and the shadow, her myth reminds us that true strength often arises from the balance between the light and dark, showing us that even the most difficult experiences can be a path to empowerment and growth.

Capricorn is a sign that likes to set goals, its often depicted as the mountain goat of the zodiac. Capricorn embodies ambition, resilience and a keen sense of responsibility. It is the enduring earth sign that looks up and climbs the cliff to success. with the opposition to Cancer its a reminder that we can have the focus, determination and endurance to achieve our long term goals, but by remembering Cancers emphasis on emotional authenticity, its a subtle reminder for us stay grounded in our authentic self. Embracing these energies highlights a powerful opportunity to break free from old patterns, be it emotional, psychological, or even professional, If we have been holding onto habits, relationships, or thoughts that no longer serve us, this period offers opportunity to work with the deepest shadows. This new moon is an ideal time for healing and letting go, Whether it’s physical, emotional, or spiritual, this Moon supports the processes of recovery, open the door to deep healing and can start moving forward with renewed energy.
