The Scorpio new moon on November 1st, 2024, invites us into a deep, introspective phase of transformation and renewal. This new moon is a beautiful, yet potent energy to work with if you are ready to unearth what has been lying beneath the surface to apply healing and closure to old wounds that may have been festering for some time.
Interestingly enough, one of Scorpio’s body correspondences, is that of the bowels and excretory system. Figuratively, this new moon invites you to release attachments of the past that are no longer viable, and perhaps have even grown toxic, to create space for new intentions, dreams, goals, and experiences. Scorpio is real and raw, and often Scorpio season is the time when we come face to face with our fears and not so pleasant truths that wake us up from the slumber of our routine. Everything is going along just fine and then…
The “zombie” you thought you’d buried long ago rises from the grave and comes knocking on your door, and you find yourself thinking, “Well, isn’t this interesting”. Around the time of this new moon, an old dynamic or situation may come back around, wearing a familiar theme, though the faces may (or may not) have changed. Maybe something is said, or a secret is revealed. You thought Halloween was over, and then whoops – someone’s mask slips. Suddenly, the bare bones are exposed, and you see things exactly as they are.
This Scorpio new moon is a chance to confront what’s been hidden in the shadows and to decide if it’s time to put this ghost to rest for good. This is your moment to reclaim your sovereignty, and move forward with a lighter, wiser, heart and soul.
Death is the card that corresponds to Scorpio in the tarot major arcana, and the card that follows it is Temperance. I often refer to Temperance as my ‘spiritual alchemy’ card because it encourages us to combine various elements—emotions, experiences, ideas, as well as the shadow aspects of ourselves and others – to create something new that is more refined and whole.
It corresponds to the sign of Sagittarius, which brings the wisdom of new philosophies, growth, and a sense of freedom. This card reminds you to be patient with yourself as you integrate life’s changes and experiences, allowing time and grace to bring your inner and outer worlds back into balance.
As you step into the energy of this Scorpio new moon, view it as an invitation to release what no longer serves your path and to embrace life’s changes with courage and openness. The Scorpion’s stinger is potent; it holds poison that can kill, but it can also heal.
Trust in the process of divine alchemy, knowing that every ending opens a door to something new and meaningful. I feel this is a heavy time for many of you out there. Don’t give up. Continue moving forward—your path is guiding you out of the darkness and back towards the light. 
Some ways to work with this energy:
New moons are a time for new intentions. Write your goals on a petition and place it under your candle plate as the candle burns. Afterwards burn the petition to release it. You may also want to consider lighting an ancestor candle, asking your beloved ancestors for help with a situation or your goals.
As a water sign, Scorpio’s energy lends itself beautifully to a ritual bath, allowing you to immerse fully in its transformative vibe while meditating and cleanse your aura. Enhance this ritual with sea salt, herbs, and essential oils—or try a ready-made ritual bath kit—to enhance your intentions.
