Some truths break things open.

Some truths burst the dam.

But all truth—spoken from the soul—leads to freedom.

Unexpected Revelations

This New Moon in Scorpio carries a precise, cutting clarity.

With the Sun, Moon, and Mercury all packed tightly together, opposing Uranus at 29°, this lunation is the emotional equivalent of a lock snapping open from pressure.

What rises now may be shocking. Private. Unfiltered. It may come through words you didn’t expect to say, or hear.

It may emerge through emotional eruptions, trauma responses, repressed truths, or intimate revelations that split something wide open.

But what breaks open here doesn’t break you.

It breaks the lie - the silence.

It breaks the old container that was too small for your spirit.

And once spoken… there is no going back.

Purple and pink dusk sky with scattered stars over a silhouette of hills. Dark clouds float gently, creating a serene, tranquil mood.

Key Takeaways for this New Moon in Scorpio

• New Moon in Scorpio conjunct Mercury (retrograde): Private truths, emotional outbursts, words that cut deep but heal deeper

• Opposition to Uranus at 29° Taurus: Unexpected shocks, nervous system resets, trauma triggers, breakthroughs

• Venus in a supportive aspect to the Nodes: Compassion paves the path forward

• Mars squares the Nodes + trine Neptune: You must move—but move with feeling, not fury

• Jupiter in Cancer trine Saturn + square Chiron: A call to protect, to nurture, and to build emotional safety without collapsing into control

• Moon square Pluto (as Scorpio Season begins): Death of the old story, emotional breakdowns, rebirth

Mother’s Mirror: When the Dam Breaks

A curved dam path above green water, with sunlight casting shadows, creating a peaceful view.

This lunation found me in the middle of a personal rupture.

The pressure of parenting, the pace of spiritual service, and the invisible expectations I carry as a High Priestess and a wife all leaked into my relationship.

And like so many times before, the dam broke.

There was anger.

There were words we can’t take back.

There were truths we couldn’t keep hidden any longer.

But you know what else there was?

Repair.

Tenderness.

Humility.

Honesty in front of our children.

And a shared decision not to hide the hard parts—but to model what reconciliation looks like. What truth looks like when it’s messy and brave and honest.

Recently, even my three-year-old son gently called out my behavior during a moment I wasn’t proud of.

And instead of doubling down, I chose to apologize and to acknowledge the leak.

To show him that truth spoken in love is what actually makes us stronger—not the illusion of having it all together.

I could feel the younger, smaller version of myself healing from choosing to accept and acknowledge that awareness, rather than punishing it from a place of insecurity.
