New Moon in Scorpio Ceremony: Embracing the Power of Transformation

As we gather under the potent energy of the New Moon in Scorpio on November 1st, we step into a rare cosmic alignment that hasn’t occurred since 2013. This 11/1 New Moon portal resonates with the frequency of the number 11—a symbol of intuition, spiritual beginnings, and alignment with our higher self. This is a lunar reset, inviting us to release the old, plant seeds for a deeper transformation, and trust in the divine timing guiding us.

The New Moon in Scorpio is one of the most intense energy waves of the year. Scorpio invites us into the shadows with its energy that is dark, mysterious, and beautifully transformative. It’s a time to venture inward, face the aspects of ourselves we’ve hidden or suppressed, and engage in serious soul work. Scorpio, ruled by Pluto and associated with Hades, represents the underworld journey, revealing parts of ourselves that we rarely confront. Under this lunar phase, we are not simply setting intentions; we are planting seeds within the deeper layers of our psyche, daring to unearth the powerful truths that lie within.

Ceremony Overview

1. Opening the Sacred Space:
Begin by creating a sacred space and setting intentions. Light candles for each archetype we’ll be working with—Lilith, Kali, Pallas Athena, and Pluto—and invite their presence into the ceremony. Each archetype holds unique wisdom to guide our journey inward, encouraging us to explore and embrace our true selves without judgment.

The Power and Mystery of Scorpio’s Influence

The Scorpio New Moon invites us to find harmony through transformation. This lunar cycle isn’t about quick, surface-level intentions. Instead, Scorpio asks us to examine what parts of ourselves are ready to “die” so that new growth can emerge. As we engage in this shadow work, we align with Pluto and Hades, rulers of transformation and the underworld, to reveal hidden truths, confront outdated patterns, and prepare the soil for a profound rebirth. By releasing what no longer serves us, we make space for new perspectives, relationships, and ways of being to enter our lives.

Exploring the Sacred Feminine: Lilith, Kali, and Pallas Athena

In this ceremony, we work with the archetypal energies of Lilith, Kali, and Pallas Athena. These sacred feminine forces empower us to reclaim hidden parts of ourselves, encouraging radical honesty and soul-level transformation.

1. Lilith - The Wild Woman and Sovereign Feminine:
   Lilith embodies raw, unapologetic feminine energy. Known as the “wild woman,” she invites us to embrace our primal desires and deepest truths. This New Moon, Lilith calls us to unearth the parts of ourselves that society may deem too bold or “unacceptable,” empowering us to reclaim our full, authentic selves.

   • Ceremony Practice for Lilith:
     • Journaling Exercise: Write about desires or aspects of yourself you’ve hidden. Ask, “What desires do I suppress out of fear of judgment?”
     • Sacred Sounding and Movement: Use your voice and body to express freely, connecting to Lilith’s energy and tapping into your primal feminine.

2. Kali - The Fierce Protector and Destroyer of Illusions:
   Kali, the fierce goddess of transformation, clears away illusions and outdated patterns. She invites us to let go of what no longer serves us, creating space for rebirth. With her guidance, we confront challenging truths and embrace a higher, freer self.

   • Ceremony Practice for Kali:
     • Releasing Ceremony: Write down limiting beliefs or attachments, and perform a ritual to “burn away” these outdated energies.
     • Mantra or Chanting: Chant “Om Krim Kali” to invoke Kali’s transformative energy, releasing stagnant patterns and stepping into empowerment.

3. Pallas Athena - The Wise Warrior and Strategist:
   Pallas Athena, the goddess of wisdom and justice, guides us with clear vision and strategic insight. She helps us navigate challenges with wisdom and encourages us to balance intuition and intellect as we move forward.

   • Ceremony Practice for Pallas Athena:
     • Guided Visualization for Inner Wisdom: Visualize meeting Pallas Athena in a sacred temple, asking for guidance on current challenges or decisions.
     • Decision-Making Altar: Place a symbol of a current decision or challenge on an altar dedicated to Pallas Athena, representing your intention to seek wisdom and clarity.

Mars and Pluto Opposition: Activating Our Primal Instincts

The Mars-Pluto opposition amplifies the energy of transformation, urging us to take tangible action aligned with our deepest desires. As Mars draws Pluto’s transformative force into the realm of conscious action, we are invited to bridge the gap between the seen and unseen, making soul-aligned changes in our lives. This opposition highlights where our actions may still be influenced by outdated patterns and pushes us to align with a more authentic purpose.

Supporting Practices for This New Moon

1. Shamanic Journeying and Visualization: In a meditative state, visualize descending into a sacred underworld landscape. Meet with Lilith, Kali, and Pallas Athena, asking each archetype to reveal a truth you need to confront.
2. Shadow Work: Reflect on patterns or beliefs that feel “safe” but keep you stagnant. Journal about what aspects of yourself you judge or hide and what truths you avoid in your relationships or within yourself.
3. Root and Sacral Chakra Activation: Place your hands over your root and sacral chakras, inviting buried fears and resentments to surface. Ask, “What must be released for me to feel free and empowered?”

Planting Seeds of Transformation

This New Moon in Scorpio asks us to confront the aspects of ourselves that block our growth, encouraging us to release attachments that no longer serve us. When we let go of what has run its course, we open ourselves to the possibility of profound transformation. By planting seeds in the fertile soil of our inner darkness, we prepare for renewal and rebirth.

Reflection Questions:

• What are my deepest, hidden desires that I often judge or ignore?
• Where am I holding onto outdated patterns or beliefs?
• How can I honor my true self, free from judgment?
• What truths are surfacing in my relationships or within myself?
• Where am I ready to release old patterns and plant seeds for new growth?

Closing the Ceremony

As the ceremony concludes, invite participants to share insights or experiences. Allow time for a grounding practice, using deep breaths or gentle movement to release any remaining energy. This New Moon holds the potential for genuine, lasting transformation. By leaning into these practices and connecting with the sacred feminine archetypes, we engage in a journey that allows us to release the stagnant, embrace our primal nature, and walk forward into a life that is truly empowered and aligned.
