Scorpio season and spooky season are the same thing at this point. As the ghosts, ghouls, and goblins emerge from hiding, so does Scorpio’s deep, mysterious, and brooding energy. While some people might find the things that bump in the night a little creepy, we must remember that everyone has a shadow following them wherever they go. So why run from the darkness when it’s an inherent part of our human experience? And no, this darkness isn’t some evil spirit clinging to you like an ex who won’t take the hint. This kind of darkness lets you keep certain parts of yourself hidden—only revealing them to those you trust most. That’s the essence of any Scorpio transit, like the Scorpio New Moon on November 1: diving deep into the shadows to strengthen your connection with yourself and the people you hold close.

Like the start of a fresh month, New Moons bring potential and opportunity. They’re the perfect time for manifesting and asking the universe to send you what’s been missing. But here’s the catch—New Moons are just the beginning of the journey. It’s like being at the starting line, waiting for the gun to go off. So as the New Moon rises, take a deep breath, center yourself, and get clear about what you’re aiming for. If you’re into journaling (which I highly recommend for maximizing this cosmic magic), note that the seeds you plant now will come to fruition by mid-May 2025. If you’re diligent, you might see the results sooner.

So, what should you manifest during this Scorpio New Moon? The obvious choice is to lean into all things Scorpionic. Scorpio is all about building intimacy—whether that means deep self-reflection to become more comfortable with all aspects of yourself or practicing vulnerability with those you love. Scorpio wants us to open up, which might seem ironic given how reserved and suspicious Scorpios can be. But intimacy is built on trust, so ask yourself: What actions do you need to start taking to trust yourself and others more? Do you need to ask more questions instead of assuming? Do you need clearer boundaries? The Scorpio New Moon is your chance to let people in, rather than leaving them guessing what’s happening on the other side of your emotional moat, barbed-wire fence, and alligator-filled trenches.

Scorpio also rules over themes like power and transformation. Ruled by Pluto and Mars, Scorpio energy is all-or-nothing—no half-hearted efforts here. Scorpio’s spirit reminds us that if we want to make things happen, we need to commit fully. For many, this New Moon might feel like a cosmic kick in the butt, urging you to take back control of your life and make the changes you’ve been avoiding. It’s like the universe knows the calendar year is winding down, and we only have a short time left to reflect on the past 10 months before gearing up for what’s next. With this Scorpio New Moon, your manifestations come with the understanding that, like Britney circa 2013, you’re going to have to “work, b*tch.”

In addition to Scorpio’s influence, Saturn, Pluto, and Mars also play a big role in this New Moon. Pluto and Mars, being Scorpio’s rulers, are front and center—but they’re not exactly getting along right now. Pluto is at the anaretic degree of Capricorn, while Mars is at the anaretic degree of Cancer, creating a tension that can lead to obsessive tendencies and power struggles. Mars in Cancer is more passive than usual, working on an emotional level and focusing on protecting personal needs and those of our loved ones. Meanwhile, Pluto in Capricorn is all about dismantling oppressive systems and rewriting the rules for the greater good. This opposition highlights the clash between personal needs and societal structures. It’s a cosmic reminder that what works for the masses doesn’t always work for us individually—like following a diet plan designed for someone 6 inches taller and 100 pounds heavier. Sure, the principles might be sound, but is it tailored to your needs? No! So, how can you create a plan that fits you as you invite change with this New Moon?

Thankfully, Saturn is here to lend a stabilizing hand. Saturn, which trines this New Moon, offers some much-needed grounding. Think of Saturn as your cosmic guidance counselor: you tell Saturn, “I want to be an astronaut,” and Saturn responds, “Great! What steps must you take to level up and make that happen?” Saturn’s influence means you’ll still need to do the work, but the stress eases as you realize you have a practical plan. Saturn’s here to help you craft a flexible approach that keeps you on the path toward building deeper emotional bonds and finding comfort in vulnerability.

All in all, this New Moon is the spookiest of the year, but by facing what we fear, we often discover the “monsters under the bed” are just a pile of laundry we’ve been avoiding (because who wants to do laundry, right?). Each sign has the opportunity to bring fresh Scorpionic energy into their lives, so be sure to check your rising sign for the most accurate reading. Wishing you all the best—may this New Moon remind you that there’s strength in vulnerability and trust is something you earn, not give away freely.
