Scorpio New Moon: Where True Colors Rise in the Dark 🌑🔎🦂

“Funny how true colors shine in darkness and in secrecy.”

Those Hozier lyrics always make me think of Scorpio, and especially the Scorpio New Moon. There is something about this lunation that pulls us beneath the surface. It asks us to step into the trenches of our inner world, sift through the layers, and unearth the truths we have avoided, forgotten, or quietly tucked away.

This is not a New Moon for rushing into something brand new. With Mercury retrograde sitting right beside the Moon, this moment is about recognition, not initiation. It is about picking up what was left unfinished, addressing what was left unclear, and giving yourself space to revisit the parts of your story that need rewriting.

Tomorrow, Mercury moves into a cazimi, sitting in the heart of the Sun. Cazimi marks a turning point in the retrograde cycle. Something within Mercury’s journey becomes illuminated, a shift in perspective, a realization, or a sudden moment of clarity breaks through the fog. You may not have all the answers yet, but a breadcrumb appears to point the way to your next step.

Adding to the intensity is an exact Neptune Uranus sextile. The last time these two aligned this tightly was August 28 of this year, and the next will not be until July 25, 2026. They will continue a rhythm of back and forth until June 2027. This energy invites imagination, intuition, and innovation to work together. It encourages you to unlock mysteries and follow the insights that arise from deeper, quieter spaces within yourself. It can also help deepen your connection to others, especially when you’re willing to share what you uncover.

Scorpio is a fixed sign. Fixed energy is where authenticity matures. Cardinal signs spark ideas. Mutable signs shift, stretch, and adapt. Fixed signs stay. They commit. They hold steady long enough for something real to take shape.
You cannot become your most authentic self if you are constantly reinventing, abandoning, or outrunning the parts of you that need time to grow. Authenticity requires patience. It requires sitting with the truth long enough to understand it.

Under this Scorpio New Moon, permit yourself to go beneath the surface.
Face the truths you have been avoiding.
Explore the corners you usually keep dim.
Let your authentic self rise, even if it feels unfamiliar at first.

Step into the dark with curiosity, not fear.
That is where your deeper path begins.
And it is waiting for you.
