🌑 Dark Moon in Scorpio november 20th at 1:48 am. This is a seriously powerful one.
The Descent, the Release, the Unbinding
The Dark Moon arrives at 28° of Scorpio, and with it comes a deep exhale into the underworld spaces of your own psyche. This is not a beginning, this is a dissolving. A loosening. A surrendering of what has grown too heavy to carry any further.
Scorpio governs the thresholds we rarely name out loud, the secrets, the intuition beneath the intuition, the instincts we’ve ignored, the shadows we’ve buried because we weren’t ready to meet them.
The Dark Moon asks us to stop running. To sit. To listen. To let what wants to fall away, fall.
This cycle opens with a powerful opposition to Uranus, the cosmic disruptor. It shakes loose what’s been stuck, frozen, denied, or rationalized. Not to punish, but to liberate. Uranus breaks the old shell, Scorpio dissolves what’s inside, and the Dark Moon gives us permission to release without rebuilding yet.
Nothing is meant to be “fixed” right now.
Everything is meant to be felt.
🜂 Shadow, Truth, and the Unmasking
With Mercury retrograding through Scorpio, our thoughts, memories, and conversations sink below the surface. We’re shown what we’ve been avoiding. We’re asked to reclaim the pieces of ourselves we pushed into the dark.
Black Moon Lilith, sitting near the same degree, highlights the parts of you that were exiled, desires, fears, truths, instincts, stories, wounds. This Dark Moon doesn’t expose them to shame you. It exposes them to free you.
Pluto, ruler of this lunation, supports the entire process with a cleansing, transformative sextile. He pulls threads loose from the inside. If you’re willing to let the old identity dissolve, Pluto shows you where to cut the cord.
This is psychic shedding. Soul-deep molting.
An unmasking.
🌊 The Waters Rise: Emotional Purging & Energetic Clearing
Saturn and Neptune, newly back in Pisces, form healing trines to this Dark Moon. This brings two movements: Neptune dissolves emotional residue you’ve been carrying for years. Saturn shows you which patterns, disappointments, and resentments have run their full course.
This is the kind of release that comes with a lump in your throat, not because something is wrong, but because something is loosening. Emotional pressure releases like a tide pulling back from the shore.
Jupiter amplifies the emotional flow, helping feelings rise so they can be cleared rather than stored. If worthiness wounds, uncertainty, or fear of the unknown surface, that’s part of the clearing, Jupiter and Chiron open old scar tissue so new consciousness can emerge.
🌑 The Purpose of This Dark Moon
This moon is not about starting anything.
It’s about ending what is complete.
It supports releasing identities that no longer fit, dissolving emotional contracts and attachments, clearing psychic residue, shedding old habits, expectations, and stories, unbinding from the versions of yourself you’ve outgrown, allowing truths to rise without judgment, making space for who you are becoming (after the Dark Moon passes).
You are not planting seeds. You are clearing the soil. You are not manifesting. You are surrendering. You are not calling things in. You are letting things go.
🌧️ If You’re Feeling Heavy, Emotional, or Unsettled, it’s Working
This is a moon of purging. Tears. Memories. Irritation. Restlessness. Deeper truths. Unexpected emotions. All of it is release. All of it is movement. All of it is cleansing.
You are not meant to be polished and serene during a Scorpio Dark Moon. You are meant to be honest.
🖤 A Message for This Dark Moon
Let yourself unclench.
Let what is leaving, leave.
Let what is dissolving, dissolve.
You are shedding timelines.
You are closing chapters.
You are releasing energetic weight you’ve carried far too long.
This is the underworld before the renewal.
The descent before the rise.
The clearing before the becoming.
You do not have to force anything.
Just breathe. Feel. Surrender.
And let the Dark Moon take what no longer belongs to you.
