Weekly Astrology Report: Scorpio New Moon, Five Retrogrades & A Week of Wild Intuition By Ritual & Restore

Cosmic Overview

Five planets in retrograde and a New Moon in Scorpio? The cosmos has basically put us all into a soft-focus “inner work only” sprint.

This week’s astrology is less about hustle and more about alignment. With Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune all retrograde, life can feel like it’s slowing down, looping back, or asking you to revise the plan. Add in a New Moon in Scorpio, and we’re in a portal for deep intention setting, powerful intuition and soul-level transformation.

Think of it as a spiritual strategy week: review, recalibrate, then plant new seeds from a place of truth, not pressure.

Five Planets in Retrograde: The Great Cosmic Review

When multiple planets are in retrograde at the same time, it’s like the universe quietly turns all the lights inward.

Here’s the vibe of each one in simple terms:

• Mercury retrograde – Communication, planning and tech go into review mode. Old ideas, conversations or people might pop back up for another look. Slow down before you speak, send or sign.

• Jupiter retrograde – Expansion is happening on the inside first. You’re being asked: what do you actually believe about success, abundance and purpose?

• Saturn retrograde – Your boundaries, responsibilities and long-term goals are under gentle audit. Are you building a life and business that your future self will actually thank you for?

• Uranus retrograde – Inner revolution. Quiet but powerful nudges to break free from stale patterns, outdated roles or “this is just how I am” stories.

• Neptune retrograde – Illusions dissolve. Where have you been idealising, over-giving or spiritually bypassing? The fog lifts so you can see the truth.

Five planets in retrograde is not “bad luck”. It’s a cosmic deep clean. Less frantic yes. More aligned yes.

New Moon in Scorpio: Planting Soul-Level Seeds

The New Moon in Scorpio comes in like a velvet curtain over the outside world, drawing your attention down and in.

New Moons are always about beginnings. A Scorpio New Moon is about beginnings that come from your deepest truth — the part of you that’s done with pretending, done with shrinking, and ready to step into a more honest, magnetic version of yourself.

Questions to journal on around this New Moon in Scorpio:

• What am I ready to transform, not just tweak?

• What identity or pattern am I finally willing to release?

• Who am I becoming, and what does she need from me right now?

This is the perfect time to set intentions, visualise your future self, and plant seeds for the kind of life, business and relationships that feel emotionally honest and spiritually aligned.

Mercury & the Outer Planets: Intuition Turned Up

Mercury (the planet of communication and the mind) is retrograde and connecting with the slower, mystical outer planets like Neptune, Uranus and Pluto. Think of Mercury as the messenger, carrying long-term, soul-level updates from your higher self into your daily awareness.

You might notice:

• Heightened intuition

• Stronger dreams and symbols

• Random “downloads” in the shower, on the mat, or mid-walk

• Repeating signs or themes that are way too on-point to ignore

If you’ve been asking the universe for a sign, this is your week. Your job is just to slow down enough to hear it.

One simple way to sense the difference:

• Intuition feels like calm clarity (even if it stretches you).

• Anxiety feels like urgency, panic or shame.

We honour the calm voice this week.

Ritual & Restore: New Moon + Retrograde Rituals

1. Scorpio New Moon Intention Ritual

When: On the evening of the New Moon, or within 48 hours.

Set the scene:

• Dim lights, candle, maybe sandalwood, patchouli or your fave grounding scent.

• Bring your journal, a glass of water or herbal tea, and something symbolic of rebirth (a seed, feather, crystal or flower).

Ritual steps:

1. Take a few slow breaths, feeling your sit bones or feet grounded.

2. Place a hand on your heart and ask: “What am I really ready to call in?”

3. Write 3–5 intentions that are less about “stuff” and more about how you want to feel, live and lead.

4. For each intention, add one tiny, practical action you can take in the next 7 days to anchor it in reality.

2. Future Self Visualisation

Use this as a guided meditation in class, or as your own evening ritual.

1. Get comfortable, either lying down or seated.

2. Close your eyes and imagine meeting your “six months from now” self in a safe, beautiful place.

3. Notice: What is she wearing? How does she move? How does her life or business feel in her body?

4. Ask her:

   • “What did you let go of to get here?”

   • “What daily ritual keeps you grounded and glowing?”

5. When you’re done, open your eyes and journal the answers immediately.

This visualisation pairs beautifully with the Scorpio New Moon and all those retrogrades, because you’re connecting your intentions with a future version of you who’s already living them.

3. Intuitive Journaling: Mercury x Neptune

Each morning this week, before checking your phone:

1. At the top of a fresh page, write: “What does my intuition want me to know today?”

2. Set a 7–10 minute timer.

3. Let your pen move without editing or overthinking.

4. When you’re done, underline any sentences that feel like a direct message from your higher self.

This is a gorgeous way to work with Mercury retrograde plus Neptune energy — letting deeper wisdom rise without forcing it.

4. Grounding Retrograde Yoga Flow

Pose ideas:

• Standing forward fold

• Malasana (yogi squat)

• Low lunge with deep breaths

• Sphinx pose or supported backbends

• Child’s pose to close

Invite yourself to exhale anything that feels forced, rushed or performative. Let the practice be about stabilising the nervous system so intuition can actually be heard.

Key Points For This Week

• This is not a hustle week. It’s a high-intuition, low-noise week.

• Five planets in retrograde mean review, reflection and realignment in all areas of life.

• The New Moon in Scorpio invites deep, honest intention setting and emotional rebirth.

• With Mercury connecting to outer planets, your intuition, dreams and inner voice are on loudspeaker. Listen.

  
  

This week, the cosmos is in edit mode, not publish mode.

Let this be your permission slip to slow down, breathe deeper and plant intentions from a place of self-respect and soul truth. The seeds you plant now — in your journal, on your mat, in your heart — are the ones your future self will harvest.
