New Moon In Scorpio: Truth, Desire, & The Alchemy of Becoming

A Manifestation Portal on the Taurus–Scorpio Axis

This is a special New Moon — and one I am personally very excited about.

It arrives at 28°, conjunct the Mercury cazimi — truth sitting on the throne of truth — and trines Jupiter in Cancer, the cosmic midwife, great benefic, and teacher.

It is opposing Uranus, the great awakener, in its final retrograde — and final time, in our lifetime — in the sign of Taurus.

It is ruled, traditionally, by Mars in Sagittarius — the purifier, seeker of truth, and philosopher — and by decan, it is ruled by Venus, who also happens to be transiting in Scorpio.

And Lilith sits in Scorpio this New Moon as well.

This is not a “set your intentions” kind of moon.

It’s a surgical reset.

A powerhouse of change.

A truth-alignment portal.

And it will strip away every place where you’ve been:

    •    negotiating with your own intuition

    •    betraying your body’s signals

    •    contorting yourself for approval

    •    manifesting from fear — or any thread of inauthenticity — instead of sovereignty

This New Moon reminds us, not so quietly, that nothing built on self-betrayal can follow you forward.

THE TAURUS–SCORPIO AXIS: MANIFESTATION & TRUE TRANSFORMATION

Manifesting isn’t only Taurus.

And shadow work isn’t only Scorpio.

It’s the dance between the two that creates real magic.

Taurus plants the seed.

She holds the vision.

She grounds desire into the body.

She speaks truth through the throat.

She teaches embodiment, activates our voice to speak with authenticity, and builds a life we can appreciate with all of the senses.

Scorpio tests the roots.

She burns illusions.

She purifies attachments.

She resurrects what is real.

She teaches us the beauty of navigating the unknown, the necessity of death and transformation, and the integration of shadow.

She reveals the truths we try to ignore — so we can grow more embodied and aligned with our deepest authenticity.

And perhaps most powerfully, she teaches us the soft power of surrender and flow.

During this New Moon, this axis becomes one process:

Manifestation is not “asking.”

Manifestation is becoming coherent with what you say you want — getting radically honest with your deepest desires, naming them with clarity, and voicing them into existence.

This Scorpio lunation will show you exactly where you’ve been incoherent:

    •    where your soul wants depth but your choices stay surface

    •    where you desire devotion but continue to tolerate breadcrumbs

    •    where you ask for abundance but keep leaking energy — and scarcity patterns block your receiving

    •    where you want authenticity but still cling to safety

    •    where your throat says “I’m fine” while your womb is screaming “No more”

Scorpio digs up the root.

Taurus offers you the chance to rebuild it into something unshakeable.

MERCURY CAZIMI IN SCORPIO: A MOMENT OF UNDENIABLE CLARITY

Perhaps the most magical aspect of this New Moon is the Mercury cazimi — a moment in the heart of retrograde when Mercury becomes purified by the Sun.

A Mercury cazimi is truth in its purest form.

It is a lightning bolt of clarity.

A star aligned reset of the mind.

During this window:

    •    people show you who they are

    •    you show yourself who you are

    •    illusions dissolve

    •    denial becomes exhausting

    •    clarity feels like oxygen

    •    insights arrive unexpectedly

You will know exactly what — or who — is aligned.

And exactly what needs to end.

This is the kind of New Moon where:

    •    doors close themselves

    •    cords dissolve

    •    the fog lifts

    •    and your next identity begins to form almost magically

TRINE TO JUPITER IN CANCER: A COSMIC MIDWIFE OF NEW TIMELINES

Jupiter in Cancer is exalted.

But this is not loud abundance.

It is ancestral abundance: soft, fertile, cellular abundance —the kind that grows when you stop abandoning yourself.

This trine is a blessing on:

    •    your home

    •    your body

    •    your emotional truth

    •    your psychic gifts

    •    your lineage

    •    and every part of you ready to soften into safety, heal, and thrive

Jupiter reminds us that what we birth from truth will flourish.

This New Moon isn’t asking for force.

It wants honesty.

Integrity.

Coherence.

The kind of manifestation that comes when your soul, body, and voice stop contradicting each other — when you acknowledge what you truly want, voice it clearly, and surrender it to form.

SO WHAT IS THIS NEW MOON REALLY ABOUT?

Releasing the version of you built on survival.

Becoming the version built on truth.

Let this be the New Moon where you choose:

    •    devotion over distortion

    •    embodiment over performance

    •    clarity over fantasy

    •    alignment over attachment

    •    truth over longing

    •    receiving over chasing

    •    sovereignty over self-abandonment

You don’t manifest by wanting more.

You manifest by becoming the person who stands in alignment with their most authentic truth and no longer tolerates less.

Because the only vibration higher than love is embodied, coherent authenticity — a frequency that fuses love, truth, alignment, and sovereignty.

Which reminds us:

    •    Love without authenticity can distort

    •    Authenticity requires full nervous system coherence

    •    Authenticity collapses distortion — every single time

    •    Authenticity activates the heart, sacral, and throat simultaneously

    •    Authenticity births love that is clean, not distorted

JOURNAL REFLECTIONS

    1.    What truth have I been avoiding?

    2.    Where am I still leaking energy?

    3.    What desire have I been too scared to name?

    4.    What identity am I ready to bury?

    5.    What version of me is rising?

The Taurus–Scorpio axis reminds us of the full cycle of life — death and rebirth.

It reminds us of the beauty of tending our gardens and the simple pleasures of life: presence, texture, scent, taste, art, and sensory devotion.

It reminds us of the co-creative power we hold — to voice reality into being and to birth through deep power and surrender.

It reminds us of the tending our creations require, and the cathartic release into the unknown they demand.

It reminds us of the detachment manifestation requires — the umbilical cord must be cut for life to grow.

It reminds us of the polarities within us all — and the beauty of integration that true wholeness demands.

And in the end, this axis becomes a mirror — a reminder that manifestation isn’t about controlling life.

It’s about becoming the one who can hold what you’re asking for.

This New Moon invites you to plant with devotion, surrender with honesty, and rise with integrity.

Because the moment you stop clinging and start aligning, your reality rearranges around the truth of who you are.

When you speak what you want with your throat, and release what blocks it from your womb, you remember:

your power isn’t in choosing light or shadow —

your power is in holding both without abandoning yourself.

And this is how you manifest a life that is not fragile — but deeply rooted, aligned, and richly abundant.

When you see yourself in full truth — and no longer shrink from that reflection — you become magnetic to what you most deeply desire.

Wishing you a magical New Moon in every way.

With much love,

Seraph

Unraveling the Savior Shadow

Lately, life has been pulling me through a quiet reckoning.

Every lesson seems to reach down into the roots of my oldest wiring—

the places formed in childhood, where silence meant safety

and love, had to somehow, be earned.

From those early imprints grow certain shadows—

the ones that whisper, If I can just help enough, give enough, fix enough,

I’ll finally be safe. I’ll finally be loved. …I’ll finally be enough.

It’s from that shadow that I’ve sometimes held on too tightly.

Not out of malice, but out of a tenderness that doesn’t know where to land.

Out of a need to try to keep everything from unraveling.

Out of a desire to genuinely love…to help…and to encourage.

Have you ever seen someone’s light so vividly that you long for them to see it too?

You pour in your energy, your hope, your heart—

until you realize the helping has become holding.

And somewhere along the way, the holding has slipped into enabling and control.

That realization burns.

It humbles.

It dismantles the illusion that love and rescue are the same thing.

Sometimes the deepest devotion isn’t in what we do for others,

but in what we refuse to keep doing.

It’s stepping back.

Letting the Divine—not our own will—have the final say.

Surrender is not the same as indifference.

It’s trust, stripped bare.

There’s a moment in every healer’s journey

when they must learn the difference between being of service and being in saviorhood.

One honors free will.

The other quietly violates it.

I used to see surrender as weakness.

My inner achiever called it quitting. Giving up. Lowering my standards. Abandoning.

But I’m learning that true surrender is the ultimate expression of power— and of love -

the kind that doesn’t grasp, doesn’t chase, doesn’t perform.

It breathes. It allows. It honors free will and the messiness of life - and it lets life do the rearranging. And, allows Spirit to take the lead.

When we unclench our grip on how we think things should unfold,

we make space for unseen forces to move.

Sometimes that means doors close.

Sometimes it means people fall away.

But it always means truth takes the throne again.

So ask yourself:

    •    Where are you holding on to something that’s asking to be released?

    •    What outcome have you been trying to “manage” out of fear it might fall apart or disappoint you?

    •    Whose healing have you mistaken for your responsibility?

    •    When in your life did you learn these patterns? How can you help your body to re-identify safety in relationship - in a way that honors surrender and liberation?

The shadow of fixing runs deep—it’s tender, ancient, and born from love that learned to overwork. To prove. To take take responsibility for burdens that were never theirs to carry.

But there’s liberation in naming it.

There’s power in loosening its hold.

And there’s peace in remembering that your love is no less pure when you finally let go.

We don’t always rise in the light.

Sometimes, we rise in the dark-

but only when we finally stop trying to save what was never ours to carry.

With much love always, for every step of your journey,

— Seraph 🖤

Sovereign Path Series: Part 6. Final Initiation - Reclaiming Inner Authority

How I stopped searching for the missing piece - because I remembered it was me.

There is a moment after the spell breaks,
after the cords are cut,
after the teacher is unmasked and the temple falls.

And in that silence —
where the glamour has lifted but the grief still hums —
you realize:

Naming the distortion isn’t the finale.
It’s the threshold.

Because the truth is, it was never just about them.

It was about the parts of you that still believed you needed to be led.
It was about the buried desire to be seen, to belong.

That’s what gets used.

And that’s what you’re here to reclaim.

I wasn’t weak.
I wasn’t co-dependent.

I was wired for sacred connection.

In Human Design, about half of us have something called split definition —
a design where your energy flows in two distinct circuits, without an internal bridge.

And when you carry this but aren’t aware, it can create a subtle but persistent longing for coherence.

You may feel mostly whole, mostly clear, mostly aligned —
but something’s always a little…separate.
Like two inner voices speaking slightly out of rhythm.

As if your inner knowing whispers instead of roars.
A chronic sense of incompleteness you just can’t name.

But when you meet someone whose energy bridges that internal divide?

Suddenly there’s clarity. Ease. Relief.

You feel radiant. Empowered. At home.

Your knowing sharpens. Your voice strengthens.

It feels like recognition — as if you’re finally whole and seen.
It can even feel like soul truth.

It can feel like coming home.

That’s the beauty of split definition: we are built for resonance.

Designed for synergy.
For mutual reflection.
For sacred circuitry with others.

And when it’s healthy — mutual, conscious, and clean — it’s almost magickal.

You expand in another’s presence not because they complete you,
but because they meet you —
and your energy finds a rhythm it couldn’t access alone.

That kind of bonding isn’t weakness.
It’s sacred architecture.

But that same beauty that makes us magnetic…
also makes us vulnerable.

Because when we don’t understand how our system works,
we start chasing bridges.

We seek that feeling of wholeness in others —
especially those who appear powerful, illuminated, spiritually aligned.

And sometimes this chase comes at the cost of our own truth.

Because it is our softest longings that can be most easily exploited.

This isn’t hypothetical.
And it wasn’t random.

It was engineered.

The person who manipulated me — and many others — pulled our Human Design charts early on.

She knew who had emotional centers.
She knew who had undefined egos.
She knew who had split definitions.

And she used it.

Not always consciously, perhaps —
but instinctively.

She targeted the seekers who were more likely to doubt themselves.

The sensitives. The empaths.
The ones craving resonance, answers, clarity.

She knew where the open doors were — because she had the map.

And this is how energetic manipulation works.

There are people who study energetic systems like Human Design, Astrology, Gene Keys, and subtle body mechanics —
not to liberate, but to control.

They observe what soothes your system.
They track what sharpens your knowing.
And then they mimic it.

They reflect your language, your gifts, your longings —
and use it to craft a false resonance.

Sometimes they even mimic the energetic bridge you’ve experienced with someone else —
a partner, a friend, a guide —
so your nervous system anchors into a familiarity that feels like soul truth.

But this isn’t the real thing.

And on some level, it always feels off —
incomplete, subtly dissonant.

But, it is familiar enough that you start to doubt your real connections.
And fall for the ones wearing a mirror as a mask.

You think: I feel whole again.

But what’s actually happening is energetic co-opting.



What is Energetic Co-opting?

It’s a form of spiritual manipulation where someone uses your own energy to:
• Build their authority
• Create dependency
• Sustain your attachment to them

In other words: this isn’t mutual.

They aren’t offering you their wholeness.
They’re reflecting yours — and performing it back to you like a costume.

And it works. Because it feels good.

It feels like clarity. Like safety. Like home.

But underneath?

It’s glamour.
It’s a performance.
It’s borrowed light.



What she didn’t count on was this:

We would learn to read our own maps, too.

And once we did,
we could lock every door she once walked through.



Because understanding your vulnerability is not weakness.

It’s your weapon.

Here’s what no one tells you:

You don’t overcome manipulation by hardening.
You overcome it by becoming more intimate with your own design
than any predator could ever be.

You learn your patterns.
You name your longings.
You witness the exact moments when you’re most likely to give your power away.

And then you bless those parts.
You hold them close.
You let them speak.

That is how you reclaim yourself.



It’s Not Just Split Definitions At Risk.

Open centers. Undefined egos. Sensitive emotional systems.

These are places of deep brilliance — but also permeability.

If you don’t know where you’re energetically open,
someone else can learn it before you do —
and slip in like they belong there.

That’s how it happens:

You mistake relief for truth.
You mistake intensity for intimacy.
You mistake energy that feels good for energy that is good.

And once someone is using your own system to bind you to them,
it becomes harder and harder to leave.

Because leaving feels like losing the bridge all over again.



Here’s the Truth That Breaks the Spell:

You don’t need anyone to complete your circuit.
You don’t need a bridge to be whole.
You don’t need to be mirrored to trust your reflection.

And once I understood that — truly embodied it — everything changed.

I stopped handing over my clarity for confirmation.
I stopped waiting for someone to validate what I already knew.

I stopped outsourcing my wholeness — because it was never lost.
I had just scattered it into people I hadn’t learned to trust myself without.

I became present. Rooted.
I tapped back into my own rhythm.

And I took my power back.



This Isn’t About Self-Containment.

It’s about self-intimacy.

Whether you’re split or single definition,
defined or open —
the message is the same:

Know yourself more deeply than anyone else ever could.

Know your gifts.
Know your thresholds.
Know how your body says yes.
And how it contracts into no.

Because when you understand your own energy this intimately,
no one can mimic it convincingly again.

No voice, no glamour, no illusion can override your inner signal.



We all have soft spots.
But soft doesn’t mean unprotected.

It means sacred.

And when you tend those places with reverence,
they stop being weaknesses.

They become your crown.

Because you stop seeking completion in others,
and start honoring the radiant complexity already within you.

So the next time?

You’ll feel the mismatch before the mask even settles.
You’ll sense the performance before the betrayal.
You’ll walk away before the spell can land.

You won’t have to fight.
You won’t need proof.
You’ll just know.

This isn’t mine.

And that will be enough.



Tips:
• Look up your Human Design definition. Learn how your system processes energy in relationships.
• Ask: Who makes me feel clear or sure? Is that clarity mine, or is it borrowed?
• When you feel uncertain, sit with your body. Ask: What part of me wants to hand over my knowing right now? And what does she need instead?
Then speak it aloud — even if no one hears. Especially then.



Journal Reflections:
• What part of me still hopes someone else can “make it make sense”?
• Where do I hand over my knowing for external clarity?
• When have I mistaken energetic relief for true resonance?
• What does it feel like to anchor into clarity without needing to be mirrored?



And here it is:

You were never broken.
You were never meant to be completed.
You were designed to respond to others —
but not to dissolve inside them.

You were made to be amplified —
not absorbed.

So yes, honor your sensitivity.
Celebrate your openness.
Reclaim your circuitry.

But do it on your own terms.

Because you are the origin.

You hold your own bridge now.

And anyone who tries to use your light without permission?

Will find it unreachable.



This is the final initiation.

The moment you stop giving your power away —
because you remember:

It was always yours.

You are already whole.
You always were.

And that’s what they didn’t count on.

And that’s why they lost.
