🌑 28° Scorpio

⸻

The Scorpio New Moon arrives like the quiet inhale before transformation. November’s darkness feels rich and alive; a place to release control, to surrender to what’s shifting beneath the surface. This is the Moon that whispers about beginnings disguised as endings.

Scorpio energy pulls us inward. It’s the deep clean, the silent rebirth, the truth that can’t be dressed up. Under this lunation, we plant seeds in the dark… not knowing exactly what will bloom, but trusting that it will.

In the whole sign system, Scorpio lights up the collective eighth house themes: shared energy, intimacy, transformation, and emotional renewal. It’s a space that holds endings and beginnings at once. What are you ready to let die so something real can take its place?

🕯 Ritual Ideas

✨ Write a letter to your future self, six months ahead. Seal it and tuck it away until spring.

✨ Take a ritual bath or shower with candlelight and grounding scents like myrrh or sage.

✨ Play music that feels like an unraveling, and move slowly through your space: dust, cleanse, reset.

✨ Light a single candle and meditate on what’s ready to be transformed.

✨ End the night by journaling what you’re letting go of and what you’re calling in.

🍂 Jenn’s Recipe:

Jenn’s Better Than Sex Cake is peak Scorpio season indulgence: dark, sticky, and a little dangerous in the best way. This recipe reads like a spell! Molten chocolate, hot coffee, gooey caramel, and a whipped-cream cloud that feel like a soft landing after the plunge. It leans into everything the Scorpio New Moon stirs up… depth, desire, the sweetness hiding under all that shadow work. Jenn somehow always manages to take emotional astrology and turn it into an impeccable dessert. A lil ritual you can taste, a reminder that transformation can be delicious, messy, and wildly comforting all at once.

☕ Closing Notes

This New Moon feels like the hush between tracks. The moment of stillness that lets everything change shape before the next sound begins. You don’t need to rush what’s transforming, you only need to let it happen.

Light a candle. Take the long way home. Trust that something unseen is already in motion. The Scorpio Moon never asks for surface, only for truth.
