The theme of a New Moon in Scorpio

Scorpio is about intensity, trust, secrets and transformation. A new moon here supports looking at what is under the surface, releasing what is finished and starting again with greater honesty.

• Release a habit, belief or relationship that has run its course

• Face a fear honestly

A simple ritual

In a quiet room, write down one thing you want to leave behind. Read it, thank it for what it gave you, and then tear up the paper or burn it safely. Write a second note describing what you would like to grow in the space it leaves.
