Normally, when I write about the Scorpio new Moon, I talk about elimination of the crap that doesn’t do you any good.
I talk about how Scorpio is that shadowy place where we pack away our deepest fears and desires. It’s everything we repress, keep a lid on, hide away, or secretly yearn for. Scorpio is pleasure and pain, with a very fine line between the two. It’s grudges, grievances, and all those things we’re not quite prepared to release.
I tell you Scorpio is where we go below the surface to find meaning, solutions, healing and transformation.
And I remind you that Scorpio is also about power, control and fear. It’s here where Scorpio comes undone. The idea of losing control, of allowing someone to glimpse the fear behind the defences, is unthinkable.
So we stay safe. We say no. We build boundaries around ourselves – partly to stop other people getting in, but also to stop ourselves from getting out. And all the while we convince ourselves we’re in control. Until we’re not.
Today, though, that’s not want I want to write about. Instead, I want to talk about connections. In Scorpio, you say? Why not?
You see, over the last few days, one theme has come up repeatedly – the Web. Not in a scary spidery sort of way, but in an everything is connected sort of way.

This reframing landed for me. I usually brace for Scorpio new Moons as a season of cutting away, and your reminder that the same sign also holds the web underneath — the ties that keep feeding us even when they are hard to see — feels more honest to how change actually happens. The Venus in Scorpio opposite Uranus piece stood out: a relationship that feels stuck or suddenly disrupted may not need to be dropped so much as rewoven. For this new Moon I am going to pick one connection to tend — a proper check-in, not a tidy-up — and see what shifts when I treat it as part of the web instead of a loose thread to snip. Thank you for offering a gentler, still very Scorpio, way in.
Thanks for this. I like that analogy “rewoven”. Especially in light of the Venus/Mars connection presenting opportunities to do just that.
