The first of the month brings a dark, debilitated Moon in Scorpio—a time that feels especially heavy, with Mercury retrograde adding confusion. It’s easy to slip into catastrophizing.

Scorpio's depth, however, offers hidden potential. At its heart lies the lunar mansion Anurādhā, symbolized by the lotus flower, which grows from mud to blossom. This mirrors how dark times or difficult emotions can fuel personal growth.

To transcend negativity, we must face it fully. Those who truly feel their emotions process them faster while avoiding them only leaves unresolved issues behind. Use this New Moon to embrace your feelings as a pathway to transformation.
