Hi friends,

I've been talking with several of you lately - on walks, over calls and through texts. For those for whom this message resonates, we've been facing some things that feel big or scary. That's Scorpio season for you - bringing our hidden fears into light so we can fight, flight or fright, grieve, surrender and then alchemize the personal process into our own forms of empowerment.

Where I live, Scorpio season coincides with nature's cycle of release - the leaves change colors and fall and plants return to the earth, preparing for spring's rebirth. Our inner worlds mirror this process. What once felt overwhelming starts to show its true face. And here's the beautiful part - when we face difficult things head on, we inevitably discover we're stronger than we imagined.

What This New Moon is Showing

This past Friday’s new moon in Scorpio encourages us to transform and to find our power within. I'm using this cycle of time to work and rework on my own career fears, especially around asking for help and being vulnerable about what I need to change to grow my practice at a sustainable pace. Astrologically, the new moon is “activating” the area of my birth chart that coincides with hard work and where I’m paying off karmic debts (6th house), my vocation/career (10th house) and the resources I invest in to support myself (2nd house), so that's my focus. Your story might be different - the Scorpio new moon is lighting up a specific area or three of your chart, pointing to where you can create change that lasts and from where you can both draw and give a sustainable source of support to do it.

A Few Tips

Here's what I’m finding is working best during this season. I hope it helps you:

• Choose Your Focus: Pick one or two intentions that matter deeply to you. Not surface changes - we're talking about real, gritty transformation for which you feel ready to commit to.

• Work With a Partner or Two: This is key. Choose people you really trust to help you. Think of someone who matches your vibe and is working on their own type of breakthrough. Together, you can:

  • Keep each other honest

  • Push through tough spots

  • Celebrate small wins

  • Hold space for vulnerability and the moments where we just need to rest or have a few days off.

• Commit to the Process: What you start now can bloom over six months. The Full Moon is a good time to check your progress. The real work happens in between. The astro weather is gritty, but it definitely feels like a time where we can co-create. You just might have to break through some feeling of limitation to get there.

Working with Scorpio

Think of it this way: Scorpio season isn't just about facing fears - it's about transforming them through connection. Friday morning, as Victoria Monét's "Don't Sleep" played in my car, I caught sight of something magical - a rainbow cutting through the morning dawn. I had to pull over to capture it.

It felt like the sky was showing us exactly what this season is about: even in the darkening days, there's unexpected beauty, promises of what's possible when we stay open. When we're vulnerable with someone we trust, those scary things lose their power. They become stepping stones instead of stumbling blocks.

For me, being vulnerable and asking for help are still challenging. On one hand, I’ve shared things with people who’ve broken my trust while also losing friends through closing myself off. Maybe you struggle with breaking old patterns, or trusting your instincts, or letting go of what feels safe but no longer serves you. Whatever it is, I believe that now is the time to be more real than ever.

Remember, nature shows us that decay leads to rebirth. What looks like an ending is often just the start of something new.
