Welcome to the depths, shadows.
If you’ve been feeling the intensity dialing up, you aren't losing your mind—you’re just syncing up with the New Moon in Scorpio. This isn't the time for light and fluffy manifestation; this is the season of the witch, the alchemist, and the sovereign soul. Scorpio energy asks us to dive into the "icky sticky" parts of our subconscious, look our demons in the eye, and transmute them into gold.
At Sacred Shadows & Sage, we don’t run from the dark. We know that’s where the most potent magic lives. This New Moon is your cosmic permission slip to burn down what isn't working and rise from the ashes.
Here is your no-nonsense guide to navigating this transformative lunation.
Affirmations for the New Moon in Scorpio
Repeat these while applying your favorite intention oil or staring into the mirror.
I transmute past pain into present power & wisdom.
I am in full, sovereign control of my truth.
I am resilient, intense, and capable of creating the life my soul desires.
Journal Prompts: Excavating the Truth
Pour yourself a drink (tea or otherwise), grab your pen, and get honest.
Where are you giving your power and contracts to external circumstances, people, or outdated beliefs?
What is one major financial habit you are ready to kill off?
What is the one emotional burden (resentment, guilt, or attachment) you are ready to completely sever and detoxify from your soul?
Supportive Tools for the Scorpio New Moon
Scorpio is a Water sign, but it’s the deep, still water that runs underground. You need tools that protect your energy and help you see in the dark.
Artisanal Oils
Myrrh: The ancient healer. It helps heal the wounds of the past and seals your auric field during deep spiritual work.
Frankincense: The high-vibrational protector. It connects you to the divine and clears the psychic "fog" so you can see your truth clearly.
Patchouli: The Grounder. Scorpio energy can get obsessive; Patchouli pulls you back into your body. It’s also a magnet for wealth and abundance (perfect for that "Queen Midas" energy).
Clary Sage: The Visionary. You can't have "Sacred Shadows & Sage" without the Sage. This oil opens the Third Eye and enhances vivid dreams, helping you see what has been hidden from your conscious mind.
Crystals
Smoky Quartz: For transmuting negative energy into ground.
Black Obsidian: The ultimate "truth-teller" stone for shadow work.
Malachite: For deep emotional healing and transformation.
Labradorite: For magic, intuition, and protecting your aura.
Resin
Dragon’s Blood: For potency and high-octane protection. When you really mean business, this is what you burn.
New Moon in Scorpio Rituals
1. Shadow Work Deep Dive
Don't just skim the surface. Take the journal prompts above and sit with them in a dark room lit only by a single candle. Ask your shadow self: "What are you trying to protect me from?" When you find the answer, thank it, and tell it you can take it from here.
2. The "Rebirth" Salt Bath
Water is Scorpio's element. Fill a bath with warm water, Epsom salts, and a few drops of Frankincense or Myrrh. As you soak, visualize the salt pulling the "poison"—the guilt, the shame, the fear—out of your pores. When you drain the tub, stay in it and watch the water spiral down. Visualize your burdens going down the drain with it. You are clean. You are new.
3. Cord Cutting Ceremony
If you're ready to say "Bye Felicia!" to an ex, a toxic friend, or a bad habit, now is the time.
Take two candles (black is great for banishing).
Tie a piece of twine between them.
Light both candles and set your intention to sever the attachment.
As the flames burn down and eventually burn through the twine, say: "I release you. I call my power back."
(Tip: Our Bye Felicia!
Cord Cutting oil is the perfect anointing tool for this candle magic).
New Moon in Scorpio Goals
Let’s turn that magic into movement.
I commit to daily meditation to acknowledge and process my emotions.
I intend to identify and break one self-sabotaging behavior pattern that undermines my professional success.
I will take the concrete first step toward establishing a new stream of passive income that requires minimal active maintenance.
Happy New Moon, Sacred Souls.
Embrace the shadows. The light is waiting on the other side.
