The New Moon, the Mountain, and the Skunk: A Day of Deep Reset

⭐The New Moon, the Mountain, and the Skunk: A Day of Deep Reset

Hey friends — I’m Laura, psychic medium and intuitive astrologer here at Northern Light Lotus.

If you’re new here, welcome. I’m truly glad you found your way into this space.

And if you’re a returning reader, thank you for coming back. You help make this corner of the internet feel like a warm little home. 💛

Today’s energy runs deep in that unmistakable Scorpio way — emotional, honest, and quietly transformative.

The New Moon in Scorpio isn’t here to hype you up or push you forward. It’s here to pull you inward…

into the feelings you’ve avoided, the truths you’ve outgrown, and the deeper parts of yourself that are ready to be understood.

And if you’re exhausted today?

Like soul-level tired?

You’re not alone.

This New Moon is a clearing moon. A detox moon. A “let’s sit with what’s real” moon — and that kind of emotional processing makes the body tired.

So let’s walk through what’s happening in the skies in a way that matches how the day actually feels.

🌑 NEW MOON IN SCORPIO — TODAY’S ENERGY

This New Moon is a quiet emotional reset — subtle, deep, and felt more in the body than the mind.

✦ Heavy Scorpio influence

Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Venus in Scorpio = deeper awareness, deeper truth, deeper intuition.

Things you used to brush off suddenly feel important.

Your body and your instincts are speaking louder than your mind.

✦ So many retrogrades

Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, the North Node, and Chiron are all rewinding.

This is “slow down and look again” energy.

Not stuck — just reviewing.

Old fears, old patterns, old emotions may surface so you can finally understand them differently.

✦ Water element leading the day

Emotion first. Thoughts second.

Dreams feel symbolic.

Your intuition feels louder.

Your pace is gentler than usual, and that’s exactly what this moment is asking of you.

✦ Mars in Sagittarius

Underneath all the tiredness, there is a spark forming.

A sense of “okay… something new is coming,” even if you don’t know what yet.

✦ Supportive big configurations

Grand Trines, Castles, Cradles — these point to stability, emotional rebuilding, and long-term healing.

You’re not falling apart.

You’re reorganizing.

✦ Scorpio vs Taurus tension

Comfort vs. change.

Old identity vs. new truth.

Holding on vs. letting go.

You’re being pulled toward something more aligned, even if you’re not fully ready to take action yet.

✦ Pluto + Jupiter axis

Deep emotional truths rising (Jupiter in Cancer), major identity shifts forming (Pluto on the MC).

This is “becoming” energy.

✨ New Moon Takeaway

This New Moon is helping you:

• see what’s real

• release emotional weight

• reconnect with your intuition

• notice your patterns

• understand your truth

• rest and reset

• prepare for a new chapter quietly

Nothing happening today is random.

You’re aligning — even if it feels slow, tired, or messy.

🌑 New Moon in Scorpio — What’s Rising for You Tonight

♈ Aries

This New Moon is pulling up feelings you’ve pushed aside. Something you’ve been carrying alone finally wants your attention. Not in a dramatic way — just in a “hey, I’m still here” kind of way.

Tip: Let yourself slow down for five minutes. One honest moment with yourself can settle your whole system.

⸻

♉ Taurus

You’re seeing your relationships clearly — who shows up, who drains you, who feels like home, and who doesn’t. You’re craving connection that’s real, steady, and safe.

Tip: Pay attention to who you feel calm around. That’s where to lean in.

⸻

♊ Gemini

Your mind is buzzing, but your body is saying, “Can we rest for a second?” This New Moon is calling for a reset — not a big one, just enough to feel grounded again.

Tip: Choose one tiny thing tonight that helps future-you breathe easier.

⸻

♋ Cancer

Your heart is extra open right now. You might be thinking about old memories, past versions of yourself, or people you’ve loved. This isn’t regression — it’s understanding.

Tip: Do something comforting and familiar. Let yourself feel held.

⸻

♌ Leo

Your inner world is louder than the outside world today. This New Moon has you thinking about home, comfort, family, and what stability actually means to you.

Tip: Shift one thing in your space — fresh sheets, a clean corner, warm lighting. It’ll do more than you think.

⸻

♍ Virgo

Your intuition is clearer than your thoughts right now. You may find yourself finally admitting something you’ve been skirting around — to yourself or someone else.

Tip: Talk to yourself kindly. The tone matters as much as the truth.

⸻

♎ Libra

You’re realizing where you’ve been giving too much — time, effort, emotion, explanations. This New Moon is helping you take your energy back without guilt.

Tip: Pick one boundary that feels like relief and honor it.

⸻

♏ Scorpio

This is your reset button. You’re shedding old layers, old habits, old versions of yourself. You’re not forcing anything — it’s natural now. You’re ready.

Tip: Set one intention just for you. Keep it private. Let it be sacred to your heart (but we won’t call it sacred 😉).

⸻

♐ Sagittarius

Old emotions you’ve shoved into the back of your mind are drifting up again. This isn’t a breakdown — it’s a release. You’re clearing things you were never meant to hold this long.

Tip: Don’t try to make sense of everything tonight. Just let it move through.

⸻

♑ Capricorn

You’re thinking a lot about the future, your friendships, and who you want in your corner. Something is shifting in your social world — in a good way.

Tip: Share a thought or feeling with someone you trust. Connection opens doors.

⸻

♒ Aquarius

This New Moon is tugging at your purpose. You might feel restless, curious, or suddenly aware that something in your life is ready to change form.

Tip: Give yourself permission to evolve. You’re not behind — you’re just awakening to the next step.

⸻

♓ Pisces

Something clicks today — a truth, a belief, a realization you’ve been circling around. This New Moon is widening your perspective and helping you see where your spirit is trying to lead you.

Tip: Write down one truth that surfaced today. Don’t edit it. Just let it arrive.

🏔️ Spirit Message — MOUNTAIN

“You have the capacity to flow around any obstacle. This is the time to adapt.”

If there was ever a card to match the energy of my day, it’s this one.

This New Moon has me feeling genuinely wiped — not in a cute way, in a “please stop testing me” kind of tired.

And honestly? Today piled on:

My daughter’s dog got sprayed by a skunk.

My entire house now smells like a wilderness crime scene.

I tried to rest, and my dog barked for a full hour straight.

My family is sick.

And there are more moving pieces I could list… but if I do, we’ll be here all night.

And that’s exactly why Mountain came out today when I asked Spirit for a card.

This card appears when life stacks obstacles…

when you’re trying your best and life keeps tossing curveballs…

when you’re stretched thin, tired, overwhelmed, and still somehow moving.

Mountain reminds you:

• you don’t have to climb the hardest path

• ease is allowed

• rest is wisdom

• the “next step” can be tiny

• you can flow, not force

• the easy route is still aligned

Tonight isn’t about conquering.

It’s about giving yourself space to breathe and choosing the easiest way forward.

One breath.

One step.

One tiny adjustment that makes life feel lighter.

If rest is that adjustment… take it.

✨ Affirmation for Tonight

“I move gently through what I cannot control. I choose the path that supports my peace.”

✨ A Tip for the New Moon

Shrink everything down to the next small step.

Not the whole mountain.

Just what brings you the most relief right now.

If all you can do is rest or breathe, that still counts as progress in this energy.

💛 If today’s been a lot, I’m holding space for you

Thank you for being here with me today — especially on a New Moon that feels this deep, emotional, and honestly… exhausting.

I hope today’s breakdown, horoscopes, and Spirit message helped you feel supported, seen, and a little less alone in whatever you’re moving through.
