New Moon in Scorpio: The Threshold (Copy)
Happy New Moon in Scorpio!
Today at 4:27 AM EST we have the New Moon in Scorpio at 20°. This lunation is packed with transformative energy, just as the sign of Scorpio likes it. There’s no room for superficial solutions, no quick fixes. It’s time to go deeper and embrace the birth that is occurring— your rebirth story. Ask any woman and she’ll tell you the birthing process is anything but glamorous though many parts are glamorized. What could it look like to birth yourself the same way?
Below, I’m sharing the energy of this New Moon as well as the Moon Journal Prompts to help you harness this powerful energy. New Moons are about new beginnings, fresh starts, and gaining clarity for the next two weeks.

This New Moon is asking us to see what’s beneath the surface, what’s in the mirror looking back at you. What if you could meet yourself in the mirror by crossing that threshold of vulnerability and intimacy? There may be things that come up now that you were unconscious of or actively ignored around your personal depths and inherited traits/patterns. With this fresh energy and awareness, so much can be alchemized into an elixir.
Sun/Moon conjunct Mars in Scorpio:
Researching and exploring one’s Ego and inner depths takes courage. You’re able to express your feelings with zest and self-assurance. There’s a boost of energy that needs guided direction. Use it wisely.
Sun/Moon opposite Uranus Rx in Taurus:
Radical changes to the Ego and your emotional/familial landscape. With intention as direction, you can break free from restrictive norms pushed by the Status Quo that don’t align with your vision of a fulfilling life.
Mercury in Sagittarius sextile Venus in Libra:
A great energy to have harmonious interactions with others in regards to expressing your needs and the new direction you’re taking.
Mars in Scorpio trine Neptune in Pisces Rx:
You can use this energy for visualization work and creative endeavors. As you make big changes, you’ll need a vision to keep at the forefront. Don’t get lost in the image, use it as fuel for faith and hope for better days.
Human Design Gate:
With the Moon in Gate 43, the Gate of Breakthrough/ Insight, we are dealing with energy around flashes of insight that can drastically change our course. This is an Individual energy that deviates from the pact and traditional structures. It creates a mutation, a necessary change, in the frequency. It may not be time to share the insights with others.
Take them in, explore them-- allow yourself to be moved with the Divine force. Tap in.
See what comes of it and when the time is right and the resources (time, energy, money) are available, move forward in developing. There’s no rush, there’s no finish line to run to. Enjoy the journey and what you get to discover.

Checking In With The Collective Energy
When I come up with the questions for the Moon Journal Prompts, I take into account the energy of the planets as well as the Collective energy via Oracle cards or Tarot cards.
For this lunation, I decided to use the Rider-Waite Tarot Deck and the Wild Unknown Archetype Deck.
Rider-Waite Tarot
I know, the Devil card makes us all wince a bit but it’s really a helpful card. The Devil card reflects our Shadow Self back to us— the part(s) of us that are critical, addicted to substances, power, food— all things we can consume and be consumed by. If you look closely, you’ll see that the two beings have chains around their necks, but they are loose-fitted. We have the ability to break free or just simply remove these chains that bind us in our minds. What’s needed is a reality and perspective shift— that’s the power of Uranus.
Because addictions are hard to kick, there is hesitation and resistance because when what will soothe us? What will comfort us when life is hard? What will help us get through the tough seasons? That’s the energy the Six of Swords reversed is bringing. In its reversed position, this a personal and internal shift occurring and there are some things that need to be tended to and reviewed before the necessary shifts occur. It can be that you need to gather new tools to aid in integration and new habit-forming. It can look like having tough conversations and setting boundaries for yourself with yourself and in interaction with others.
It’s time to make a change, but let’s not rush the process just because it is uncomfortable.
We don’t want to have to do this again.
Wild Unknown Archetypes:
WHEN LIGHT: growth, individuation, ease in the liminal
WHEN DARK: resisting, refusal to grow, barriers, boundaries
“Crossing a Threshold may not always be voluntary. Sometimes we are thrown across the boundary through circumstances Far beyond our control. Either way, we cannot go back…
…We cross thresholds continually-consciously and unconsciously. Doorways, gates, and entryways grace our path on a daily basis. When this card arises, it signifies that the precipice you stand upon is not your typical one, however. You have arrived at a threshold of initiation, here to usher you into a new reality. It requires you to leave behind the "you" that you thought was so well formed.”
Moon journal prompts
Use these prompts to journal with or meditate on. If you’re like me, retreating to a quiet space in your home, putting on some background music like solfeggio frequencies or my new favorite, “Faith’s Hymn” by Beautiful Chorus, and lighting a candle or incense helps calm the mind and allows you to tune in to what’s trying to get your attention. (I link my favorite playlists from Apple Music so you can tune in).
Are you afraid to step fully into your unique power?
This isn’t about what people project onto you to be, it’s how you naturally are and possibly how you desire people to receive you.
What part of your life holds a shame/guilt story?
What tools in your toolkit help you to acknowledge your Shadow Self?
Ie: journal prompts, mirror work, somatic healing, letter writing/burning, visualization, therapy, divination, integrating your cosmic blueprint & profile
What inherited qualities of your current identity are you ready to shed?
The first step is acknowledging. Next, you take a step towards change. This is the prerequisite step, the preparation as the Full Moon in Scorpio in 6 months will allow you to release.
What could nine months of intentional self-discovery and self-empowerment look like as you birth a new version of yourself? What could it look like to be pregnant with the new you?
If you are aware of the process of pregnancy, imagine how you could consciously take part in the trimester milestones
Take care,
