Happy New Moon in Scorpio 🦂

The dark season has settled in, and as the new moon in Scorpio arrives, things may be feeling especially tender- more so than usual, weaving the perfect energy for deep introspection, healing, and renewal. Deep and sensual Scorpio urges us not to look away from our more difficult feelings at this time, but to instead delve even deeper, sinking our teeth into the heart of the issue. What's needling at your soul right now, babe? What might it look like to embody the discomfort and learn its rough edges? How might that attention transform something that was sticky into a source of comfort and strength?

Scorpio's name is taken from the very same animal that represents this perceptive sign—the scorpion. The scorpion's hooked tail curls over its body, at once defensive and offensive, while two massive pincers guard two large, vulnerable eyes. Scorpio, like Aquarius, 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.

🕯️ Ritual Ideas for the Scorpio New Moon

Ancestor Altar: Create a space to honor your ancestors with photos, mementos, and offerings. Scorpio’s energy is naturally attuned to the spirit realm, making this the perfect time to connect and seek guidance.
Shadow Work Journal: Use the New Moon to dive into journaling. Reflect on the lessons you’ve learned this year and what you’re ready to release.
Candlelight Meditation: Embrace the darkness by meditating with a single candle, focusing on the flame and letting Scorpio’s intuitive energy guide you through visions or insights.
Intentions for Transformation: Write down what you're ready to transform in your life. Scorpio’s New Moon is powerful for intentions around personal growth, shadow integration, and embracing your deepest desires.

New Moon Pleasure Ritual

Self-message is a way we can commune with ourselves. It can be a ritual of devotion, of honoring, of connection. A ritual of gratitude and fullness; an act of love. As with many rituals, self-massage is guided by intuition.

Begin by sitting or lying comfortably where you feel the ground supporting your weight and you can allow yourself to be cradled by the earth. Use a blanket or pillow to support your seat or neck so you can relax into yourself. Using a small portion of massage oil, like one of Seagrape’s bath + body oil, warm it between your hands, or between one hand and another portion of your body, like your thigh or base of your neck. Take some cleansing breaths and place your hands upon your chest, feeling the rise and fall of each breath. Move your hands along your skin, pausing to notice the bumps, scars, smoothness, and ridges. Notice the sensation of your touch and gently press in places that allow you to feel connected to that area of your body. Try different pressures, motions, and directions, to find what feels like a motion of thanks. Speak your own words of devotion to your body, whispering gratitude, sounding out kindness to your limbs.

Pleasure Filled Year is an invitation to choose yourself and trust the truth that your desire is the seed of your next life. When you follow what pulls at your heart, you begin to reshape your world from the inside out.

This program isn’t about pushing harder or striving for more. It’s about honoring the version of you who’s ready to grow, to breathe deeper, to reconnect with pleasure, and to step into a life that feels aligned with who you’re becoming.

And while transformation is personal, it doesn’t have to be solitary. Having a supportive squad- people who witness you, cheer for you, and walk beside you, changes everything. It strengthens your courage, deepens your embodiment, and gives you the confidence to move toward your desires with intention instead of hesitation.

If you’re feeling the pull toward change in 2026, this is your place to land. Let your desire lead, and let community hold you while you rise. Apply to be part of the 2026 Cohort, babe! We're only taking a group of 13.
