The new moon in Scorpio whispers from the thin veil between the living and the dead. It is adorned in the jewels of night. It comes through the gateway of Autumn’s darkness, and like a wild wind, it sweeps through the land, luring the breath of complexity into the lungs of creativity, never lacking dissolution and decay. 

The Scorpio Archetype 

She is the Queen of Death, a sorceress of bones, stones, soil, and spirit, an ancestral call to walk toward the mist, and to see what’s beyond the veil, to face the darkness and to love it with all her heart! Scorpio is here and she’s not messing around with light or fluff. She’s ready for the full underworld journey. Ready to open the door to our deep inner work. Ready to welcome us into the shadows as a space of healing and support.

Scorpio wanders in through the flame of a black candle. She lurks in the graveyard, reminding us that every grave marks a whole world, that each gravestone is a story untold of a person who experienced love and grief and loss and gratitude and joy and pleasure and pain and powerlessness. She is not afraid of sadness or eroticism. Not afraid of fear. She is the embrace of life’s intensity. Sexy and dangerous and untamed. Never without death. She wears black lace, puts on black lipstick, wraps you in black hooded robes, and seduces the light to surrender to the power of the night. 

Because the night is important and death is needed and love is never without loss. And Scorpio is here to tell you that this is not a problem, it’s the making of a meaningful life. A life that is art. 

What to Invoke On the New Moon in Scorpio 

So call the ravens, sing with serpents under the dark new moon, send smoke up into the dark night skies, and anchor your body into the magic of this deep Fall, because Scorpio is inviting you into the fantasy of delicious devils, and fierce fairies, and long nights in an unknown forest, asking the wild to bless you, asking the ferocious to come as pleasure.

With Scorpio, we wander the space between the world of the living and the world of the dead. We become fluent in the language of the liminal. We blend ashes with the liquid of life. We learn that decay is forever intertwined with rebirth. We learn to hold our magic in the places that scare us most. 

It’s time to lean into the fullness of our magic! Time to travel into where darkness is a source of wisdom. Time to gather the power that pulses in the depth of you! It’s time to go full witch! The new moon in Scorpio reminds you that your magic is needed in the world! And Scorpio, the Queen of Death, is here to help you shed, alchemize and reclaim.
