From Darkness to Direction: Scorpio Depths Support Libra New Moon
As we move through this week’s passage from the quiet dark of moon into the first stirrings of the Libra New Moon, there’s a palpable sense of recalibration. The air hums with the tension between reflection and readiness — that liminal moment before we take the next step. Libra reminds us that harmony begins with listening, both to ourselves and to those around us. By week’s end, as the Sun settles into Scorpio, the invitation deepens: to feel what’s real, release what’s stale, and trust the transformative pulse beneath the surface.
We’re crossing a threshold — one that asks not for speed, but for vision.
Weekly Astrology Forecast: Dark Moon to New Moon, Libra to Scorpio
So—how are we all doing in these interesting times?The Moon is in Libra as we begin the week, and we’re moving through a dark moon phase. This means the Moon is winding down before it meets the Sun for Tuesday’s New Moon in Libra (exact at 8:25 a.m. Eastern). Adjust the time depending on your location, of course.
This is the quiet space before beginnings. The dark moon invites us to tidy up loose ends from the past lunar cycle—clearing clutter, literal and emotional, so we can step into the new phase with intention. Think of it as composting what’s no longer needed, so new growth can take root.
Monday: The Quiet Aim of Connection
With the Moon still in Libra, Monday supports reflection on connection and communication.Who do you want to reach? What relationships, partnerships, or communities could feel more harmonious? You might be aware of people, institutions, or situations you’d like to communicate with more effectively—whether that’s a friend, colleague, boss, or even a governing body.
But under the dark moon, it’s not the time for major outreach. Instead, set the intention for better connection once the new cycle begins. Wrap up conversations that need closure. Release distractions. And create quiet space to invite what’s next.
A simple ritual:Write down one to three key intentions for the next lunar month—your musts.You can make a longer “wish list” if you’d like, but keep your top priorities clear. Too long a list can scatter focus.

Listening to the Voices Within
This dark moon also invites us to listen—really listen—to our inner voices.And I don’t mean the nagging ones. In astrology, those inner voices often have planetary tones: Saturn might say, you should have done that better, while Mars may push, get moving already.
I have a strong Saturn voice myself. It’s the inner critic that traces back to early authority figures or experiences. But when we can recognize these voices as parts of ourselves, we take our power back.
Try acknowledging them with humor and compassion:“Thank you, Saturn, but this is as good as it gets today.”
This practice helps us discern—is this guidance or just an old tape? The dark moon is perfect for this kind of quiet self-honesty.
Tuesday & Wednesday: The Scorpio Shift
The New Moon in Libra arrives Tuesday morning, followed by a void-of-course Moon until 11:42 a.m., when the Moon enters Scorpio. Use that in-between time to finish up loose ends, declutter, or work on projects already in motion.
Once the Moon enters Scorpio, the energy deepens. Scorpio is fixed water—focused, probing, emotional. It’s wonderful for research, healing, and transformation, though it can also stir intensity.
If you find yourself fixating on an old hurt, notice it and release your grip. Fixed energy can easily get stuck in grievance; the power lies in directing that intensity toward growth.
The image I get for these days is of walking through mud. There’s resistance, but also progress if you keep moving steadily. Trust your intuition—it will guide you around obstacles before they become blocks.
Thursday: Transformation in Motion
Thursday is the gravy day of the week. With both Sun and Moon in Scorpio (the Sun entered Wednesday), transformation energy flows strong.
This is potent for breakthroughs—creative, emotional, professional, relational.Ask yourself: What do I truly want to make happen?Even if you’re not taking outward action yet, the momentum of possibility begins when you align with your intention.
Remember, transformation doesn’t mean erasing the past. “Letting go” doesn’t delete anything; it composts it. What we’ve moved through becomes the fertile soil of who we are. The goal isn’t detachment—it’s integration.
Thursday offers that chance: to recognize what’s shaped us without being defined by it.
Friday to Sunday: Fire and Focus
By early Friday, the Moon moves into Sagittarius (12:19 a.m. Eastern). The mood shifts—lighter, faster, fiery. Sagittarius wants movement, exploration, and adventure.
This energy is uplifting but can scatter easily. Quick assumptions or miscommunications may arise. Think of a brushfire—fast, bright, but prone to spreading too far. Double-check details before acting. Confirm plans, times, and agreements.
If things feel overstimulated, ground in nature. A walk, a swim, martial arts, or any rhythmic movement can restore balance.
The weekend can be highly productive and fun, especially Saturday, as long as we stay mindful of pace and clarity.Sunday, however, may bring the week’s bumps—consequences of anything rushed or overlooked earlier. Missteps or crossed signals may surface. Take it as information, not failure.
The Moon goes void-of-course at 12:42 p.m. Sunday and enters Capricorn at 12:53 p.m., ushering in a restorative afternoon. Use it to regroup, get organized, and set the stage for a productive week ahead.
The Essence:
* Monday: Taper down, listen inward, clarify priorities.
* Tuesday–Wednesday: Flow with transformation; clear clutter, set new intentions.
* Thursday: Step boldly into new possibilities.
* Friday–Sunday: Move with awareness, verify details, and ground yourself before the Capricorn calm settles in.
This week’s arc moves from reflection to renewal—through the mud, into motion, and toward momentum. Trust the rhythm.
