New Moon in Scorpio // Collective Tarot Reading

by Sarah Rayne

Six of Wands (Reversed)

We need not seek to be carried by the praise or approval of others. Everything does not need to be hunky-dory. The absence of outward expressions of joy need not alarm us.

There are deeper forces at work here. Forces that are shrouded in mystery, and yet are essential for the natural processes of our growth and evolution to occur.

Winter is a time of turning inwards. You are invited, at this Scorpio New Moon, to take some time to be with those darker, hidden parts of yourself. The parts that don't often get to see the light, and that rarely get revealed to others in their fullness.

How you choose to engage with these parts is up to you. It's possible that just being with them, just honoring them with stillness and quiet could be enough. Or, maybe they need some tending. Maybe your inner little one needs some caretaking. Maybe you need to cry, scream, rage, put on loud music and stomp and dance around. Maybe you need to write it out, draw it out, or fuck it out.

Scorpio season is a potent time for transformation, transmutation, and letting go. Dig deep, and be honest with yourself about what you are still clinging to, that you no longer truly have the space, capacity, or desire to hold. Allow the natural processes of death- and, eventually, rebirth- to occur. 

However you choose to take care of yourself, witness yourself, honor yourself and all of your parts, allow it to be 100% for you. Your healing, your growth, and your evolution, are all in service of your own empowerment. These sacred processes should never feel performative, or like you have to fit into someone else's box. Do it for yourself, your way, and fuck what the rest of the world might think about that.
