The upcoming moon cycle begins on October 21st with the New Moon in Libra and moves fully into Scorpio season as the sun enters Scorpio in the late evening of October 22nd. Scorpio season invites us to reflect on transformations — the kind that ask us to go beneath the surface and shed what no longer serves our growth. This is a time of rebirth and renewal. As fall deepens and moves toward winter, nature shows us the power of letting go: leaves fall, daylight shortens, and the world slows down. This seasonal shift mirrors our own process of release — shedding old habits, patterns, or beliefs so that we may transform and evolve.

Below you’ll find journal prompts, affirmations, and self-care activities to guide you through each phase of this moon cycle.

Full Moon in Taurus - November 5

It’s a moment to celebrate your growth — especially the ways you’ve aligned comfort, security, and the things you have with your true values. This lunation also asks you to release the need to control outcomes or cling to what no longer reflects your worth.

• Treat your senses - light a candle, enjoy your fav meal, or spend time in beautiful nature.

 

Last Quarter in Leo - November 11

Theme: Release, Expression, Creativity
Focus: Letting go of self-judgement to rediscover joy and creativity.

The last quarter moon in Leo invites you to release anything that dulls your sparkle — fears of being seen, self-doubt, or creative perfectionism. This phase is a gentle reminder that joy is meant to be expressed, not earned. Let go of the pressure to perform and reconnect with the simple act of creating for the love of it. As you release old expectations and embrace play, you make space for renewed inspiration and authentic self-expression to shine through.

New Moon in Scorpio - November 20

Theme: Transformation, Renewal, Empowerment
Focus: Setting intentions for  deep personal change and purposeful impact.

The new moon in Scorpio invites you to begin again — from the inside out. This is a powerful moment to plant seeds of transformation, release what’s been holding you back, and commit to your own evolution. Scorpio energy asks for honesty and emotional depth, reminding you that true change starts when you’re willing to face your shadows and still rise. As you set intentions now, focus on the kind of transformation that not only empowers you but also creates a ripple of positive impact in the world around you. Reflect on what has made the biggest impact on you for inspiration.

This season carries the underlying theme of transformation and renewal. You are encouraged to confront what no longer serves you, let go of old patterns, and dive deep into the changes you wish to create within. Reflect honestly, act with discernment, and nurture the aspects of your life that align with your true power. As the days grow shorter and the world slows down, this natural rhythm mirrors your own process of shedding and regeneration. Use this time to examine your emotional and mental landscapes, uncover hidden strengths, and make intentional shifts that support your growth.
