There are moments in life when awakening doesn’t whisper. Sometimes it arrives with a sudden click—a knowing so swift and grounded that it rearranges the way we breathe.

This New Moon in Scorpio brings that exact energy: a deep reclamation, a remembering, a return to self.

It calls us back into the shadows—not to lose ourselves, but to retrieve what has always been ours.

For many of us, that means finally turning toward the silhouette inside us…the version who stood quietly, patiently, while we poured love and devotion outward for years.
She is ready to step forward now.

The Awakening Under the Dark Moon

Something inside me shifted recently.
Quietly. Cleanly. Deeply.

It wasn’t dramatic.
It wasn’t loud.
It wasn’t confusing.

It was a grounded, embodied knowing.

This awakening didn’t tell me who to become.
It reminded me of who I already am:

rooted in awareness
firm in intuition
connected to truth
protective of the inner world that carried me through everything

I realized how often I’ve chased joy instead of aligning myself with it…
how often I reached outward before inward.

This new moon asked a question I could no longer avoid:

What if joy was never meant to be chased—
but lived toward?

The Silhouette Steps Forward

There is a version of you—of me—
who has held all the tenderness, devotion, and truth
while standing quietly in the shadows.

She is not broken.
She is not weak.
She is not waiting to be “fixed.”

She’s waiting to be chosen.

This moon feels like the moment she steps forward
not as a shadow,
not as a whisper,
but as the source of your strength.

Fortifying the Inner Temple

Scorpio energy asks for depth.
It asks for truth beneath truth.
It pulls forward everything we avoided long enough.

This moon invites us to:

Embrace ourselves
Strengthen what is sacred
Fortify the roots of our inner safety
Reclaim what was hidden while surviving

So that living, loving, and joy become things we inhabit,
not things we chase.

When the nervous system trusts us,
the rest of life falls into alignment.

Below are a few reflection prompts from this month’s reading to support your new moon ritual:

The Devil — What chains are you strong enough to slip out of?

Where am I giving power away?
Where have I confused comfort with safety?

Settle for More — Where have I been shrinking?

If effort is the same…
why not choose more?

Moonflower — What rhythm is truly mine?

What patterns am I unlearning?
Which allies appear when I move at my real pace?

Divinity — What part of me deserves reverence now?

Where have I dimmed myself to fit?

Invite Your Monsters to Tea — What softens when I listen?

What fear becomes gentler when understood?

Closing Reflection

This moon is not a beginning.
It is a returning.

A returning to self.
A returning to truth.
A returning to the silhouette who held everything until you were ready to come home.

You are stepping into a life that feels aligned.
A life that feels lived.
A life that feels like yours.

You are bigger than the life you’ve been living.

Expand.
