Hello Reader,
This month’s New MOON and the year of the Snake have definitely caused me to reflect on my personal life and search for the things that are keeping me small. Old ways of being and moving in this world that no longer fit, and what is finally ready to be shed.
I suppose that has a lot to do with my womanhood, as the change of life makes its final turn in this bend on the road I’m walking. I am prepared to begin an energetic and physical shedding of things in my own life. I am no longer willing to hold on to things that keep me tethered to being anything more than my authentic self. It seems that with ease, I am able to make decisions to release and plan so I can become more fully myself.
It is a liberating feeling, for sure, unconstrained by fear or survival but kindled by a fire of knowing and a firm resolve not to shrink into places, ideas, or stereotypes that keep me running in place with no finish line in sight.
So this New MOON, Mercury Retrograde, and final laps of the Year of the Snake are definitely fueling my fire to finally be free!
I hope you enjoy this read and that it is meaningful for you.
Our Scorpio New MOON happens on November 19th at 10:47 PM. It is the beginning of a new lunar cycle. A quiet, dark moment to reflect and go inward. For many of us, this feels like home, especially as our days are naturally darker now. But, for others, going inward can be disruptive and uncomfortable. If the latter applies to you, be sure to ask for support. As we work with the compounded shedding energy, it may be needed.
Scorpio energy asks for honesty and depth. It does not stay on the surface. It invites you to look gently at the parts of yourself that are ready to change, to release, or to be seen. Spiritually, Scorpio holds the medicine of transformation and rebirth. Just as the scorpion sheds its outer shells each year to grow, this energy encourages you to shed old identities and stories, so a more authentic self can emerge.
At the same time, we are moving toward the close of the Year of the Snake. Snake (serpent) medicine is a powerful ally in times of change. Serpents do not cling to skin that has become too tight. They shed what no longer fits so their bodies can keep growing. Spiritually, this speaks to releasing old habits, past hurts, and beliefs that keep you small. Serpent energy also carries deep wisdom and intuition. It invites you to move with more presence and clarity, to make choices from a place of inner knowing rather than fear.
Together, Scorpio and Serpent energy create a season of shedding. You may feel called to look at what has become too heavy or outdated in your life. You may notice where you are ready to stop repeating an old story and begin writing a new one. There can be grief in that process, even when you are letting go of something painful. That grief is part of the healing. When you allow yourself to feel it, you create space for new life to grow.
Mercury Retrograde is also happening alongside this New Moon, which invites us to review and listen to gain insight into our growth and work. If the way forward feels unclear, you are not doing anything wrong. Reflect, revisit, and give your nervous system room to settle. Clarity often arrives after the pause.
New MOON Ritual for Clarity
If you would like a simple way to honor this moment, consider making some time to sit with water. A bath, a shower, or even a bowl of water held in your hands can become a small ritual. Name, softly, what you are ready to shed. Then place a hand on your heart or your belly and ask what would feel more true for you now. Let the answer come as a feeling, a word, or an image. Let it be simple.

Doing the work.
If you feel called to work more deeply with your voice, your nervous system, or your relationship to change, let’s work together. Private sessions are designed to help your body ground and regulate, to gently release what it is ready to let go of, and to reconnect you with your own inner guidance. We use sound, movement, and discussion for intuitive guidance and healing for your personal journey.
You can learn more or schedule a session here.
Under this Scorpio New MOON and at the close of the Year of the Snake, my wish for you is simple. May you feel safe enough to tell yourself the truth. May you feel brave enough to shed what no longer fits. May you know, deep in your body, that every shedding is making room for a more authentic you.
Upcoming Events
There are a few opportunities to experience community and sound in a safe and supportive space. If you have questions about these offerings, please feel free to reach out. I’d love to hear from you.
