The New Moon in Scorpio is a time for transformation and renewal.
Scorpio is known for its intense and introspective nature, encouraging us to delve deep into the recesses of our soul.
This fixed water sign is passionate, intuitive, and emotional.
As we immerse in the deep waters of the Scorpio New Moon, the magical benefits of aromatherapy can assist our journey as we dive into the depths of our emotions and discover our truest self.
Below are a few of my favourite essential oils that are great for Scorpio season (October 23rd – November 21st).
Essential Oils for the New Moon in Scorpio:

It opens our creative channel, clears mental blocks, and creates space within us for new possibilities to manifest.
Ylang Ylang: Inner Child Healing

Its floral notes invite introspection and self-love, making it an excellent choice for connecting with your emotions during this lunar phase.
