This new moon in Scorpio allows us to reflect on the deep,
Transformative,
And psychological aspects of ourselves.
We all know Scorpio kind of gets like a bad rap sometimes of being a little dark and brooding,
But that's because Scorpio likes to go deep and sometimes dark.
My moon is in Scorpio,
So I definitely feel this sometimes too,
Like we don't like service level conversation.
So,
Like the new moon in this dark phase and the darker aspects of Scorpio,
We may feel a bit moody and brooding during this period,
But all of this is attuned to a wider awareness that the cycle of life and death is very real.
We can see it in the trees in the northern hemisphere as the leaves fall and die off.
Without change,
There is no evolution,
No progress,
No real transformation.
So for this particular new moon ritual,
We'll tune into directing our manifestations to the powerful aspects of Scorpio,
The self-determination,
The passion,
And the depth of self while we release any compulsions,
Bad habits that prevent us from dealing with the emotional heaviness that ultimately leads to psychological healing.
So let's begin this ritual meditation by settling into your new moon ritual.
Find a safe and cozy spot for your meditation.
You can light any candles or incense that will deepen your connection to the spiritual and lunar realm.
Bring forth any crystals that will help you manifest.
If you'd like to have a warm drink nearby,
Like tea or cacao,
Feel free to pause me so you can get that ready and bring it to your space.
Once you have everything you need to get deep and settle in to set the tone for the ritual tonight,
Decide which meditation position you'd like to take,
Whether that's laying down with your palms facing up,
Or taking an upright seated position with the spine long,
Crown of the head tall.
Settle into your meditation position without changing anything.
Simply notice the breath,
Where is the breath moving,
How is it moving in and out of your body.
Now on your next deep inhale through the nose,
Hold the breath at the top for 1,
2,
3.
Exhale out the mouth slowly and hold at the bottom for 1,
2,
3.
We'll take a few rounds of this breath,
Inhaling deep,
Holding at the top,
Then exhale slowly and suspending the breath at the bottom.
Inhale through the nostrils and hold,
Feeling the Scorpio energy penetrate deep within.
And exhale out the mouth slowly,
Relieving that pressure,
Then rest at the bottom,
Knowing your body can handle hard things.
Inhale in through the nose and take the next few rounds of breath on your own,
Hold at the top,
Exhale slowly,
Then hold at the bottom,
Becoming aware of the void,
The spaces in between,
And what comes from the depths within,
Between these spaces.
Finish one more round of this breath,
Inhaling through the nose,
Hold in the void at the top,
Then exhaling,
Holding the void at the bottom.
Gently return to your easy breathing pattern.
Allow the breath to slow down the mind.
As your heart prepares for release,
Bring to mind anything that may be taking away your power,
Be it bad habits,
Compulsions,
Things in your life that undermine you and the power you know you have.
If there are any fears around confronting emotional heaviness or general confrontation,
Bring those fears forth.
Embrace the darkness of the new moon as it releases these shadows.
Know that Scorpio honors cycles of life.
Embrace every birth,
Life,
Death,
And rebirth cycle that is happening in your life right now.
Let the cycle be,
Knowing you cannot control it even if you wish to.
Begin to ask yourself,
In what ways can you empower your inner self?
What authority do you need to have to feel self-mastery?
What do you wish to manifest around your inner radiance and magnetism to build meaningful emotional connections?
How can you boost your determination and ambition in this next period?
We'll connect these reflections to the breath with affirmations.
Inhale deeply and tell yourself,
My passion is my strength.
Feel that statement soak into every cell of your being.
And exhale and tell yourself,
I release the fear of going deeper.
Inhale,
Endings are necessary to evolve.
Exhale,
I let go of the things that make me powerless.
Take a few more breaths on your own.
Inhale all that you wish to manifest for the next lunar cycle.
And exhale all you wish to release under the Scorpio new moon.
Come back to your normal breath.
Set an intention for this next lunar cycle and the next few months to come.
Align this intention around your self-strength and depth of character.
With every season of fall in the Northern Hemisphere,
We see the life and death of the trees as the leaves radiate with color,
Then die off.
What new beginning will emerge for you after this season of dormancy?
What seeds of psychological healing do you wish to plant?
With your intention set deep in your heart,
Begin to picture the darkness of the night sky.
Although you can't see the moon,
You know she is there,
Hovering in plain sight.
Feel her presence as you ask the new moon to materialize your intention.
Be open to how this intention may show up and when.
Then see a golden light emerge from the dark sky.
The new moon beams down over every inch of your body and soul,
Renewing your personal strength and cleansing your shadows,
Removing any blockages from your full shining power.
From the heart space,
You begin to shine gratitude back to the moon,
Thanking her for her cosmic powers.
Thank the universe for a moon to worship,
And thank the fertile energy of the new moon to embed your intention into the astral thread of destiny.
Deepen your awareness of the space you are in.
Become aware of your body's borders within the room.
Settle into the awakening of your mind,
Your breath,
Your fingers,
And your toes.
When it feels right to you,
Gently open your eyes and journal on any insight you may have received or continue on with your new moon ritual.
Thank you so much for joining me today.
Happy new moon in Scorpio.
