Shadow Work Season: No More Playing Nice

All right, it’s time. It’s the New Moon in Scorpio, and this energy is not soft or gentle. This is the part where life stops letting you hide behind illusions, excuses, or false stability that kept you stagnant. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto ... the planet of transformation, death, and rebirth — so this Moon is a reset that starts deep within.

And let’s call it exactly what it is:
Shadow work period time.

You might feel emotional, edgy, overwhelmed, or even strangely clear all at once. This energy is raw but revealing. It’s showing you what you’ve been holding back — especially around control, fear, or attachment.

If something feels like it’s ending right now, it’s because you’ve outgrown it. Congratulations. This Moon is shedding your old skin the same way a snake releases what no longer fits. You are stepping into a power that finally has room to breathe.

Take a deep breath with me.
In…
Out…
And let that shift move through you.

🔭 Cosmic Weather

This lunation has layers — emotional ones, karmic ones, and even the ones you thought were “handled.” Scorpio doesn’t do surface-level anything. It digs, it exposes, it purifies, and then it rebuilds.

Here’s what’s happening in the sky:

🌑 New Moon at 28° Scorpio
The final degrees of any sign hold mastery energy. This is the deep purge before the rebirth.

🌀 Mercury Retrograde near the Moon
You may revisit old conversations, emotions, decisions, or truths you avoided. Something from the past wants closure.

⚡ Uranus Opposing the Moon in Taurus
This brings shocks, breakthroughs, disruptions, and liberation from false comfort zones. Anything unstable will show its cracks — and honestly, that’s the blessing.

💧 Grand Water Trine (Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune)
Deep intuition. Emotional maturity. Spiritual clarity. This gives you a direct line to your higher self — if you’re willing to listen.

This is a Moon of revelations, endings, and powerful new beginnings rooted in truth. Not fantasy. Not fear. Not the façade you’ve been holding up.
Truth.

💬 The Collective Message

This lunation is pushing you out of “almost.”
Almost healed.
Almost ready.
Almost trusting yourself.
Almost living the life you want.

Scorpio doesn’t do “almost.” It demands the real thing.

This Moon is revealing what has been draining your energy, blocking your intuition, or keeping you in cycles you’ve outgrown. It’s asking you to stop gripping onto comfort and start aligning with your actual evolution. Watch the YT Video here

Ask yourself:

• What truth am I finally ready to admit?

• What fear am I done letting control me?

• What version of me is ready to die so a stronger version can be born?

 

♏ Rising Sign Breakdown

(Read for Rising first, then your Sun and Moon for extra clarity.)

Aries Rising

The 8th house gets activated — intimacy, shared energy, fears, debt, and energetic ties. You’re being shown where you’ve been over-giving or over-controlling. Release what isn’t reciprocal.

Taurus Rising

The 7th house lights up relationships, partnerships, commitments, and contracts. A major shift in who you allow into your life or what agreements actually support you.

Gemini Rising

Your 6th house of health, routines, work, and self-discipline is under reconstruction. Your nervous system needs care. Don’t ignore physical or emotional burnout.

Cancer Rising

The 5th house brings creativity, children, romance, joy, and self-expression. Something you love wants to come alive again — but it must come from authenticity, not fear.

Leo Rising

The 4th house hits home, family, roots, and emotional foundations. You may be clearing generational patterns or setting boundaries with people who always had access.

Virgo Rising

The 3rd house activates communication, siblings, mindset, and the way you talk to yourself. Old mental patterns are being exposed so you can choose a new script.

Libra Rising

The 2nd house of money, self-worth, confidence, and values is center stage. Release scarcity thinking. Choose value-aligned action.

Scorpio Rising

The 1st house — YOU. Identity. Self-image. Direction. This is a full rebirth. You’re not the person you were even six months ago. Step into it fully.

Sagittarius Rising

The 12th house brings endings, closures, solitude, subconscious healing, and spiritual release. Let go of old karmic residue. Don’t fight the quiet.

Capricorn Rising

The 11th house highlights friendships, communities, followers, purpose, and long-term goals. People shift. Priorities shift. What’s aligned now will stay. What’s not will fall off.

Aquarius Rising

The 10th house hits career, reputation, visibility, and life direction. You’re being redirected toward a path that fits who you’ve become — not who you used to be.

Pisces Rising

The 9th house activates beliefs, spiritual growth, expansion, travel, and purpose. Old truths dissolve so a deeper understanding can rise.

🔥 Ritual & Reflection

Scorpio thrives with intentional release.
Keep it simple but powerful:

• Light a candle

• Write down what you're done carrying

• Speak this aloud:

“I release what no longer holds power over me. I trust what’s being reborn.”

Then rip or burn the paper and visualize yourself stepping into a cleaner, lighter version of you.
