New moon in Scorpio

This new Moon in Scorpio invites us to lean into our own victories, while also encouraging us to look for more win-win situations all around us (and there may be some financial blessings sprinkled in the mix too!).
When I connected intuitively with the energy of this New Moon, I was surprised by what arrived (which may be pretty Scorpio after all…)
First was the sound — the bright, unmistakable cha-ching of a cash register - and the accompanying excited sensation within my solar plexus (every seller knows that feeling: woohoo! a sale!). Then an image: gold coins, glinting and abundant. And then came the theme as a bright word, landing with both intensity and delight in that oh so Scorpio way:
Jackpot!
Now, while I think this theme goes way deeper than simply financial gains, I also actually DO think there is genuine potential for financial blessings with this lunation. So yes — please do keep your eyes open for unexpected wins in the material realm around this new Moon.
Yet the jackpot this New Moon is most excited about runs deeper than money.
This New Moon wants us to feel victorious. To observe our lives with true awareness— and recognize all the ways we have already won.
The battles we have fought and survived.
The versions of ourselves we have grown beyond.
The small, daily, unglamorous victories that rarely get celebrated but that have added up, quietly and persistently, to something genuinely remarkable.
And even look at our victories from the perspective of the collective…
Yes the world is on fire.
Yes most of the world “leaders” are actually war lords (looking at HIStory that seems to track…).
Yes hate and division seem to be trending yet again.
AND ALSO…. we are awakening in greater numbers - in that more and more humans are expanding their consciousness.
Women’s rights, LGTBQ+ rights and human rights are better now in many places, then ever in recent history - even despite the many setbacks and challenges we still do face.
In so many ways, the jackpot is already here. This New Moon is asking us to claim the victories that are around. And to trust that through that claiming, even more can flow our way.

The Energy of Scorpio: Fixed Water & the Power of the Deep Win
As the fixed Water sign of the zodiac, Scorpio is the energy of depth, transformation, intensity and the kind of truth that can only be found by going all the way beneath the surface of things.
Scorpio is easily bored by the shallow and the performative. She is interested in what is real — in the raw, unfiltered, sometimes uncomfortable truth of what is actually happening beneath the curated stories we tell.
In her light, Scorpio is powerfully perceptive, fiercely loyal, deeply intuitive and alchemically transformative. She takes what is hidden and brings it into the light. She takes what is broken and knows that in the fixing, gold is made. Scorpio understands — better than almost any other sign — that our greatest victories are rarely the ones that look impressive from the outside. They are the ones that transformed us from the inside. The ones that required us to go into the darkness and come back changed.
To Scorpio, a jackpot is not luck. A jackpot is both earned and very well deserved.
It is the result of real work, real feeling, real transformation — and this New Moon wants us to honor that.
Yet in her shadow, Scorpio can become so focused on what is hidden, what is wrong or what still needs to be transformed that she misses what has already been won. She can be suspicious of good news, waiting for the catch. She can withhold her own celebration, convinced that acknowledging a victory will somehow jinx it. She can stay so deep in the process of transformation that she forgets to surface and take stock of how far she has actually come.
The shadow of Scorpio is the inability to receive her own gold — to do all the deep work and then not let herself claim the victory it has created.
This New Moon is specifically here to address that. To call us up and out of the depths — just long enough to look back at where we started and say: look how far I have come. Look what I have built. Look what I have survived. Jackpot.
The Astrology: Mercury Retrograde, Cazimi & Mars conjunct Jupiter in Leo
Alright friends, here we go - here is some of the astrology flavoring this Scorpio new Moon.
Mercury is retrograde in Scorpio alongside this New Moon — having stationed retrograde on October 24th and remaining retrograde until November 13th. Mercury retrograde in Scorpio is an invitation to go back, review and reassess many things, including the depth of our communications, our decisions and the stories we tell ourselves about our own progress.
And just a few days before this Scorpio new Moon, on November 4th, Mercury (who is still retrograde) has his cazimi moment, or the moment when he passes directly between the Earth and the Sun, appearing to sit right at the exact heart of the sun. This is considered one of the most potent moments of any Mercury retrograde cycle — a flash of profound clarity, insight and inner knowing. A moment when something becomes suddenly, unmistakably clear.
So please pay close attention to what arrives in your awareness around November 4th and the days leading up to the Scorpio new Moon on November 9th. Because whatever clarity you receive has the potential to make you feel victorious, because that clarity you gain may feel the winning jackpot you’ve been waiting for!
Meanwhile — in vivid contrast to Scorpio's deep, inward intensity — Mars and Jupiter are sitting together in Leo coming up on a conjunction (or meeting) with the South Node that will be culminating November 13th - 15th. When Mars and Jupiter are together in Leo, their energy can feel bold, expansive, confident, fiery, creative and genuinely radiant.
Yet the energy of Mars and Jupiter meeting with the South Node in Leo also represents a pretty major karmic turning point in relation to ego, leadership and personal pride. Collectively, this transit has us looking at our unchecked pride, and need for external validation, while we also see it on full display with global leadership as well.
Thankfully, this transit offers us the energy of someone who is ready to be seen — ready to step forward, claim their space and act from genuine heart-led desire.
Because this powerful transit is asking: can you release the old patterns of performing for approval and instead act from the genuine fire of who you actually are?
The jackpot this New Moon is offering is truly for you.
Jackpot! Counting Your Victories — Big and Small
This Scorpio new Moon is encouraging us to get intensely focused on our own wins. She’s guiding us to track our wins and honor our victories.
And not just the ones that look impressive on paper. or are the ones that are “post-able”. This lunation wants you to take note of all your victories — especially the ones nobody else knows about.
You know, those ones that happened in the deepest darkest parts of yourself.
Those moments you got up when every part of you wanted to stay down.
The conversation you had that you had been avoiding for months.
The boundary you held even though it was uncomfortable.
The creative thing you made even though you were scared.
The version of yourself you chose not to go back to, even when it would have been easier.
The feeling you let yourself feel instead of pushing it away.
These are victories. Every single one of them.
Scorpio knows that the most meaningful transformation happens in private — in the silent, unglamorous, often painful work of actually becoming who we are meant to be. And Mercury retrograde in this same sign, is asking us to look back — not to dwell, but to really see what we have done. What we have become. What we have survived and built and grown through.
Under this New Moon, write your victory list. Let it be long. Let it include things that seem small. Let yourself be genuinely, unreservedly proud of the work you have put in — because you have put in real, deep work.
And then — let yourself feel how real the gold and jackpot energy is within you.
Claim it.
we Already Won
This Scorpio New Moon is asking us to recognize that we are already in it. That the work we have been doing — the transformation, the growth, the quiet daily commitment to becoming more genuinely ourselves — has been paying off all along.
Look at how far you have come - the Moon reminds and encourages us. Look at what you have built. Look at what you’ve survived and chosen and grown through.
May this Scorpio new Moon remind you of the many ways you’ve already won, and that your continued victory is inevitable.
with infinite love and lunar blessings,
Rachael
