The dark season is well and truly upon us, and as the new moon in Scorpio rises, things may be feeling more tender than usual. Deep and magical Scorpio urges us not to look away from our more difficult feelings at this time, but instead, to go deeper, and really sink our teeth into the heart of the issue. What's needling at your soul right now,
babe? How might that hurt transform into bliss, if you surrendered to the discomfort of deep feeling?
Scorpio is named for the scorpion—a perceptive, protective, and highly guarded creature. The scorpion's hooked tail curls over its body, at once defensive and offensive, while two massive pincers guard two large, vulnerable eyes. Like Aquarius, Scorpio is a visionary of sorts, but unlike free-flowing Aquarius, Scorpio knows to guard their heart well. On
this new moon, you would do well to meditate on your own defense mechanisms, and whether or not they're serving you. Wise Scorpio knows how to ward off emotional threats, but they also know when to drop their guard and let themselves be seen as they truly are.
Don't shy away from the intensity of this new moon—instead, lean into it, and embrace your desires and fears with your heart wide open. Whatever you do, tend to yourself with patience this lunation, babe. Move slowly, and with sincerity.
