The New Moon in Scorpio on November 1st, 2024, invites us to go deep, get vulnerable, and let go of control as we allow transformation to unfold around us and within our own lives. This lunation is accompanied by a Mars-Pluto opposition and a trine to Saturn, intensifying the potency of the energy we may feel around this time.

Scorpio is a sign that represents transformation, depth, power, and shadows. It teaches us that we have the ability to alchemize our pain into strength. By journeying down to the underworld, we gain the ability to see what is hidden and bring it to the surface so that it may be transformed. This New Moon is charged with the strength and power needed to confront our fears so that we can free ourselves from anything holding us back from expressing our true essence.

Pluto, the modern ruler of Scorpio, is also associated with transformation through the process of death and rebirth. As Pluto stands on the precipice of moving into a new sign, it squares this New Moon and opposes Mars, which, interestingly enough, is the traditional ruler of Scorpio. This Mars-Pluto opposition represents a tense clash between forces of action and change. We may feel the urge to assert control over unfolding situations, yet as we face shadows and conflicts we’ve avoided, we can use this New Moon to surrender to the unknown forces at play.

Saturn’s trine to this New Moon provides us with a sense of stability and helps us navigate Scorpio’s watery and mysterious energies. We are supported in setting clear intentions that are grounded and practical in nature.

Overall, change is inevitable under this lunation, as it is in life. Whatever transpires during this period is necessary for our soul’s evolution—we must trust that. Like a Dark Night of the Soul serves as a portal to great wisdom and spiritual transformation, this New Moon brings potential for deep healing and emotional release as we face and embrace our shadows. At a time when the veil between worlds is thin, honor the dark, knowing that life moves in cycles, and the light will return once again.

Affirmations for this New Moon in Scorpio:

I am open to deep transformation and surrender to the unknown.

I am empowered and capable of embracing the darkest parts of myself.

I trust the power of the universe to guide me to my true self and my highest potential.

I am aligned with the cycles of nature, embracing both darkness and light.

Have a blessed Samhain and Dia de los Muertos!
