All About The New Moon In Scorpio

Tonight’s New Moon in Scorpio marks a complete energetic reset. This lunation arrives at twenty-eight degrees, pressed against the edge of transformation, opposing Uranus retrograde in Taurus, and forming a trine to Neptune retrograde in Pisces. It is the Moon of redefinition, the moment when release becomes rebirth. Scorpio does not renovate from the surface; it rebuilds from the root. This is where renewal meets accountability and where emotional honesty becomes power.

Scorpio energy rules what we merge, what we share, and what we bury. It governs trust, intimacy, and the unseen contracts that shape our lives. A Scorpio New Moon reveals where old energy must die for vitality to return. It is not gentle, but it is always regenerative. What you confront now will not collapse you; it will complete you.

As Mercury continues its retrograde in this same sign, the mind and spirit are equally attuned to depth. This makes tonight the most potent point of the entire month to perform work that invites clarity and restores energetic equilibrium. The two rituals below carry the same purpose, renewal and rebalance, but use different methods. One works through release, the other through reclamation. Choose whichever feels aligned, or blend both if your intuition calls for it.

This Scorpio New Moon marks a closing chapter in both emotion and intent. Every water sign teaches through movement, and Scorpio teaches through purification. What cannot survive truth is already leaving, and what remains is meant to deepen. Renewal is not a wish; it is absolutely your birthright. The sky is showing you where to begin. The question is, are you ready? 

Whether you choose the release ritual or the reclamation candle, both will shift the field. Energy does not disappear, it redistributes. The goal tonight is not control, but restoration. Let the New Moon in Scorpio remind you that mystery is not a problem to solve, it is a force to live with.

Ritual One: The Water Release

This ritual clears psychic residue and emotional stagnation. It is ideal if you feel drained, indecisive, or emotionally tethered to a past experience that needs closure. Scorpio is a fixed water sign, and water is its element of memory. This ritual re-teaches your body how to let go.

You will need: A bowl of clean water, a small handful of salt, something that smells of life (a sprig of rosemary, a few drops of essential oil, or even lemon peel), and one candle.

Step One: Sit with your bowl of water and salt. Stir them clockwise three times, speaking aloud: “What is mine will stay, what is finished will fall away.”

Step Two: Light your candle. As it burns, hold your hands over the water and breathe deeply. Name out loud the things that feel heavy, unclear, or incomplete. Say them without shame. Each word is a release.

Step Three: Dip your fingers in the water and trace the back of your neck, your chest, and your palms. Feel the temperature change as this sensation becomes surrender. When you are done, pour the water down the drain or into the earth, allowing the release to complete itself.

Why this works: Water holds memory, and salt conducts energy. This ritual discharges emotional static and reminds your body that endings do not require force, only permission. The candle represents the element of fire returning balance to water, ensuring that you do not stay submerged in what you’ve released.

Ritual Two: The Reclamation Candle

This ritual calls back energy that has been scattered, lost, or forgotten. It is ideal if you have felt detached from purpose, intuition, or power. It works through intention and embodiment, two things that Scorpio rules in their highest form.

You will need: One candle, one small mirror, a cup of water, and something that symbolizes personal strength. It could be a crystal, a ring, a key, or even a note written in your own handwriting.

Step One: Light the candle and place the mirror behind it so that the flame reflects. This creates a portal of doubled light, what is within and what is seen.

Step Two: Hold your object of strength in your hands and repeat softly: “I call back my energy from all directions, cleansed, whole, and ready for what is next.” Imagine the flame brightening with each breath.

Step Three: Dip your fingers in the cup of water and touch your third eye, your heart, and your throat. These are the centers of sight, truth, and expression. Scorpio rules regeneration, and this step anchors that regeneration inside your field.

Why this works: This ritual reunites scattered fragments of personal energy, especially those left in past conversations, relationships, or unfinished goals. It blends fire and water to symbolize rebalance, heat for passion, water for wisdom. The mirror reflects your energy back to you, purified.
