Scorpio New Moon Rituals
1. Upcycle Your Style
Sustainable style? Yes, please. Regenerative Scorpio has a knack for reviving relics from the past. With a little inventiveness this new moon could bring some serious finds. Go thrifting under this treasure-hunting new moon, or if the vintage is getting a little too pricey in your neck of the woods, organize a clothing swap and check out Buy Nothing groups where someone might just be releasing an item you covet for free. Shop your own closet for pieces you can refresh with patches, scissors or other modifications. Check out our Style Horoscopes by zodiac sign for some inspo!
Maybe it’s time to take another crack at that half-finished screenplayl or song you’re writing and take it to completion. Under the observant Scorpio new moon, everyone you meet has “character study” potential and every decision holds a clue to the next scene you’re developing.
2. Explore your eroticism
Bring on the bed chem! Mysterious, seductive Scorpio is the zodiac sign associated with all things erotic. We’re not talking about a quick smash or hookup here. Scorpio energy longs intimacy, whether you’re getting to know your partner’s turn-ons or exploring your own body in depth. Sex-positive self-care is what this new moon is all about. Experiment with toys, play out a fantasy or spend the evening in bed binge-watching erotica.
As this provocative new moon reminds: There’s always something new to learn, and a seductive online curriculum can help pick up where your high school sex-ed teacher left off, like O.School and OMGYes.com. Find out your “erotic blueprint” from sexpert Jaiya—or check out the soul-deep work of self-proclaimed pleasure revolutionary Regena “Mama Gena” Thomashauer.
3. Embrace your shadow
Scorpio has two galactic guardians: Pluto and Mars. Its modern ruler, Pluto, governs the unconscious—the parts of ourselves that we disown and even project onto other people. Before the icy dwarf planet was discovered by telescope in 1930, Mars, the fierce, combative, warrior planet ruled both Scorpio and Aries. Under this twin influence, turbulent emotions can arise. Whether they express themselves internally (Pluto) or externally (Mars), the experience can be both arousing and unsettling.
4. Unleash those feels productively
Have you been suppressing any “negative” feelings, like jealousy or anger? If so, they could bubble up like hot lava from a dormant volcano. Instead of denying your angst, find a healthy outlet to unleash that pent-up emotion. Your Scorpio new moon ritual could be a vigorous dance class, yoga with chanting or a drive out to nature to unleash a primal scream. We happen to know an uncanny number of people with Scorpio chart placements who are die-hard karaoke addicts (raising hands here with our four-planet Scorpio stellium!) Maybe it’s time to pick up a home system so you can belt out the ballads any time your heart desires.
5. Build a portfolio and pay down debt
Time for some money moves! Security-minded Scorpio rules our long-term resources like stocks, real estate investments; basically anything that’s loaned and owned. Look beyond the 9-5 grind to illuminate new paths to prosperity. Commissions, royalties, bonuses, and inheritances are Scorpio’s domain—and so is marrying into money, on the off-off chance you might be dating an industry mogul.
But either way, now is the time to activate your assets. Do you have a retirement account—and if you do, does it include a diversified mix of high and low risk investments to satisfy your personal comfort level? If the term “mutual fund” makes you say, “huh, wha?” cue up a book on basic finances ASAP.
Scorpio also rules debt, so if you’re struggling to get out of the red, take a deep breath and start looking for solutions. Many creditors (and even the IRS) will work out payment schedules, as they prefer to get SOMETHING rather than nothing; some will even negotiate a lower payout amount. Online coaching programs can also bring support for freeing yourself from the weight of those IOUs. Who knows? Six months from now, under the Scorpio full moon, you could be back in black. See our Money Horoscopes for some ideas to incorporate in your Scorpio new moon rituals.
6. Pool your funds strategically
When it comes to cash, fiscally savvy Scorpio knows that we can be stronger together. Co-sign for the win, but do so strategically! Scorpio likes everything backed and guaranteed as much as possible. If you’ve developed a solid baseline of trust, perhaps you can support each other with making a bold leap toward a mutual money making goal.
Just note that Scorpio-ruled joint ventures aren’t always split 50/50. One of you may be putting in cash while the other is contributing labor-based sweat equity. Arrangements like these should be memorialized in writing, ideally with the support of a legally binding contract. Protecting yourself can preserve the integrity of the partnership since you’ll both be clear about what you’re signing on for: a win-win.
7. Take a stand for reproductive freedom
Scorpio rules the reproductive organs, an area of women’s bodies that have been subject to Draconian state rulings across the U.S. since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022. This new moon comes with an added impetus since it lands right before the 2024 U.S. Election. With reproductive rights being one of the key issues on the ballot, the timing of this lunation feels especially meaningful.
8. Embrace the hidden with an “envy map”
This Scorpio new moon ritual helps you manifest what you do want.
We first learned the concept of using jealousy as a compass from Julia Cameron’s inspiring workbook, The Artist’s Way. Since our natal charts have four planets in Scorpio—a sign known for rousing the green-eyed monster—this was a game-changer for us. Instead of viewing envy as a deadly sin, we learned it can be the ultimate guide to our desires. Rather than covet what others have manifested, you can create your own remix and make it wholly your own.
How to make your map:
Label the first column: Envy Triggers: Then list all the situations or people who have pushed your jealousy buttons. This can be personal: “My sister’s engagement” or general: “Rich people who flaunt their wealth.”
Label the second column: Hidden Desires: Here’s where to get real about wanting what those lucky souls have manifested. For example: “To get in a relationship with my life partner” or “To have financial ease.” Tip: Try not to use words like “more” or “better.” Just get real about what you want—and phrase your desire as if it’s already happening.
Label the third column: Envy Remix: Here’s where you alchemize your jealousy into something tangible. For each trigger, jot ideas for how you can incorporate that enviable quality into your own life. Focus on tangibles, such as: “Set up a profile on Bumble” or “Enroll in the online university’s coaching certification program.”
Bonus exercise: Reach out to the person who triggers your envy and offer words of admiration, some social media love or a retweet. If you know them personally, ask for advice on how they manifested their dreams. You might win a helpful champion to your side.
