The New Moon plants a seed in the dark — and Scorpio, you of all signs knows that the most important things grow where no one can see them yet.
A 2%-lit New Moon sits at 8° Leo conjunct Jupiter, making a sextile to your ruler Mars at 11° Gemini — that's an invitation, not a demand, to act with just enough confidence to begin. Mercury is retrograde in Cancer alongside the Sun, so the message traveling toward you may be delayed or encoded; listen for what's said between the words. The Moon's opposition to retrograde Pluto in Aquarius pulls at something you thought you'd already resolved — turns out you hadn't, and that's useful information.
This New Moon in Leo doesn't belong to you the way a Scorpio New Moon would — it's bright, social, performative by nature. And yet here you are, sitting with it, and there's something quietly powerful in that. The Moon-Jupiter conjunction amplifies whatever emotional seed you plant today, which means the quality of your intention actually matters. Don't just wish for an outcome; get specific about the feeling you're after. What does the life you want feel like in your chest, not your head?
Mars in Gemini, your traditional ruler, is making a tight sextile to Saturn in Aries — this is one of the better aspects in the sky right now for you. It's disciplined fire. It rewards effort that has a structure, not just passion that burns wild. If there's a project, a message, a negotiation that you've been circling, today's a day to pick one thread and pull it with precision. Venus squaring Mars introduces a friction between what you want and how you're going about getting it — worth noticing without catastrophizing.
The deeper undercurrent is Pluto, retrograde in Aquarius, opposing this Moon. Something in your public life or your sense of belonging to a group is pressing on a private wound. You don't have to perform healing. You don't have to announce the transformation. Scorpio's gift — and its real work — is the willingness to stay in the dark long enough for the eyes to adjust. The seed doesn't need light yet. It needs depth.
Say the specific thing you've been gesturing around — Mercury retrograde in Cancer rewards emotional precision over romantic implication.
Mars sextile Saturn is rare and functional: structure one ambitious task into three concrete steps and do the first one before noon.
Notice the story you tell about why you can't have the thing you want, because that story is today's actual assignment.
““The Moon applying to Jupiter enlarges whatever matter she finds herself in; the nature of the increase follows the nature of the significators involved.””
TranslationToday's Moon-Jupiter conjunction in Leo is literally an amplifier — which means the intention you set at this New Moon will be louder than you expect. Plant carefully; Lilly would tell you the expansion is guaranteed, but the direction is yours to choose.
Write one sentence — handwritten if possible — describing the feeling, not the outcome, of what you're calling in at this New Moon, then fold it and put it somewhere dark for 30 days.
