If you have no idea what any of this astro-talk means, I’m here to translate and help you figure out exactly what to expect in this upcoming transit — including five Scorpio New Moon 2024 journal prompts.
But first, what even is the Scorpio New Moon? Taking place on Nov. 1, the Scorpio New Moon will take its place in the sky, marking the beginning of a new lunar cycle. Because this New Moon is taking place in the sign of Scorpio, we can expect certain Scorpio-coded themes, like transformation and rebirth, to be amplified during this time.
“This is not just an astronomical event but a crucial turning point in the complex period of October and November, which will influence our emotions, motivation, and perception until May 2025,” Natasha Astrobalance, an astrologer at Moonly, adds. “As the New Moon initiates a new lunar cycle, it highlights inner changes. Many may feel tension and fear of the unknown, a sense of helplessness, or discomfort due to transformations happening both inside and in the external world.”
Natasha also explains that, while this New Moon will definitely be difficult to get through, it can bring us powerful opportunities and lessons in the meantime. “These feelings are part of the path to personal growth,” Natasha says. “People who practice mindfulness and emotional management will navigate this period more confidently and even find support from the surrounding world.” This New Moon highlights inner changes, and while you may feel overwhelmed with a variety of strong emotions, this is just a part of the personal growth that’s inevitable this Scorpio Moon.
Practicing mindfulness and emotional management will help guide you through this challenging period, even when it feels impossible. “This phase offers powerful opportunities for those who can maintain high vibrations and a positive mindset,” says Natasha. “Those who navigate it with awareness will have a chance to achieve significant results and move towards new heights.”
So, how do we channel the energy of this Scorpio New Moon? Focusing on a balanced lifestyle, natural nutrition, light exercise, and a consistent sleep schedule is the best way to maintain inner stability and channel confident, positive energy during this New Moon period. It’s also important to practice mindfulness and to ensure that you’re surrounding yourself with people who bring nothing but positivity into your life.
By manifesting the energy that you want in your life, “It’s also essential to be mindful [of] what you consume from the external world, as it’s easy to lose focus and fall into destructive behavior [in this period],” Natasha says.
Rather than engaging in self-destructive behavior, make sure to practice mindfulness, whether this is by meditating, taking a bath, doing yoga, or most importantly, journaling. So, here are five journal prompts to write out for the 2024 Scorpio New Moon.
