Eldest Daughter’s Guide to the New Moon in Scorpio

Unveiling the Scorpio Energy

Scorpio, a water sign ruled by the enigmatic Pluto, is a force to be reckoned with. It dives deep into the subconscious, unearthing hidden desires and fears. This New Moon invites us to confront our shadows, embrace our vulnerabilities, and emerge stronger than ever.

As eldest daughters, we often shoulder the weight of family expectations. We’re the caretakers, the problem-solvers, the peacekeepers. But this New Moon encourages us to shift our focus inward. It’s time to prioritize our own needs, honor our own desires, and cultivate our own power.

The Message of this Scorpio Season

This Scorpio New Moon is coming in with a message. If you find that you’ve been in pause mode for a while, I’m here to tell you that it’s all been for a reason.

Addressing your fears is the theme of this Scorpio season.

As eldest daughters, we tend to go above and beyond looking out for others and making sure everyone has what they need, which inevitably leaves us burned out.

I know more than a few eldest daughters, including myself, who often struggle with feeling both unsupported and exhausted from trying to support everyone, but we refuse to let go of the reins and let someone else steer the ship for a while. The fear of being abandoned, let down, disappointed, and losing everything we’ve worked for if we don’t keep our foot on the throttle drives us straight to our own hell of not being able to rest and take a break.

If God, Spirit, the Universe, or whatever you want to call your governing power, put you in a season of rest and drought, it’s because it needed you to see for yourself that your belief that nobody else could do what you do and that everything would fall to pieces if you didn’t carry it all yourself was false.

This message may have been trying to get to you in many ways that you ignored before your spirit team had to take drastic measures to get you to hear the message. I’m looking at you, eldest daughters, who are in a period of burnout, are recovering from mysterious illnesses that can’t be explained by medical practitioners, or are feeling like your back is up against the wall with your finances because your once overflowing financial abundance faucet has slowed to an almost nonexistent drip.

You’ve been forced into this period of “lack” so that you can see for yourself just how capable, able, and willing your support system is to handle things without your input. You’ve been stripped of your ability to show up in the way you normally would with friends, family, and work so that you could see that they still love you, value you, and care about you beyond what you do for them. They don’t see your worthiness of love as being based on your contributions, and you shouldn’t either.

The Good News

Now, I know that you might be feeling anxious as all get out watching your bank account, feeling guilty about not being able to show up and support people the way you normally would, and feeling hopeless that this period will never end, but I’m here to tell you that things are about to get better for you really soon. Your abundance will return, and more than likely your abundance faucet will run longer and stronger than it has in the past. We’re not just talking finances here. Your energy, mental clarity, drive, and passion will all be increasing, and you will find that you have a greater capacity than you had before you burned out.

But! It is imperative that you remember the lesson that this season is trying to teach you. Now that you’ve been able to see that you don’t have to be superwoman and solve everyone’s problems for them, it is your job not to fall back into the cycle of overextending, rescuing, and saving everybody.

I’ve heard that nature has a funny way of making women forget about all the pain they endure during childbirth so they are more likely to have another child. But with each pregnancy, the risk of complications grows.

This same sentiment applies to this lesson. Once you’re back at your fighting weight, if you will, you may easily forget what you’ve learned and begin to have a different recollection of the intensity of your stress-induced ailments.

If this is the case, you’ll likely fall back into the same patterns that got you here in the first place, but the next go-round will only further increase your chances of complications to your physical health that will trickle down into your financial abundance. We’re talking an escalation from anxiety, brain fog, and exhaustion, to increasing your risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, stroke, etc.

You don’t need that in your life!

If this has resonated with you, I encourage you to do some shadow work journaling during the New Moon in Scorpio on November 1st.

Here are a few prompts to get you started:

Unmasking the Shadow Self

1. Fear of Abandonment:
   • What are my deepest fears of being abandoned or rejected?
   • How do these fears manifest in my relationships and behaviors?
   • How can I begin to let go of these fears and trust in myself and others?
2. The Burden of Responsibility:
   • In what ways do I feel responsible for the happiness and well-being of others?
   • How does this burden impact my own sense of self-worth and fulfillment?
   • What are the consequences of constantly putting others’ needs before my own?
3. The Perfectionist’s Struggle:
   • What are my unrealistic expectations of myself and others?
   • How does perfectionism prevent me from fully experiencing life and making mistakes?
   • What can I do to embrace imperfection and practice self-compassion?
4. The Need for Control:
   • In what areas of my life do I feel the need to control outcomes?
   • How does this need for control limit my ability to trust the universe and let go?
   • What can I do to surrender control and embrace uncertainty?

Embracing Vulnerability and Self-Love

1. Vulnerability and Authenticity:
   • What are my fears of vulnerability and being seen as weak?
   • How can I practice vulnerability in my relationships and daily life?
   • What are the benefits of embracing authenticity and being true to myself?
2. Self-Compassion and Self-Care:
   • How can I cultivate self-compassion and practice self-care?
   • What are my self-limiting beliefs and how can I challenge them?
   • How can I set healthy boundaries and prioritize my own needs?

In addition to these prompts, I also encourage you to reflect on your patterns and behaviors before your pause period. Consider the situations that arose during your pause and how they were resolved. Who stepped in when you couldn’t? How did they handle the situation? And finally, reflect on how you might have approached these problems and the potential costs, both physical and emotional.

This self-reflection exercise will create a valuable memory log to reference when the urge to “rescue” or “fix” starts to creep back in. By revisiting these experiences, you can make informed decisions about how to respond to future situations and avoid falling back into old patterns.

Let’s embrace this Scorpio New Moon as an opportunity to shed old patterns and step into our power. By delving into our shadows, setting intentions for transformation, and prioritizing self-care, we can emerge stronger, more resilient, and more authentically ourselves. Remember, eldest daughters, you are capable, worthy, and deserving of love and happiness that doesn’t come at the expense of your physical, emotional, mental, and financial health. Let’s use this lunar energy to create a life that truly reflects our desires and passions.
