Before we dive in, a quick note from me: what you’re about to read is part of a twice-monthly letter I send to parents, seekers, and anyone who feels the quiet hum of astrology moving beneath the surface of their daily life. If you’d like these reflections delivered straight to you - along with rituals, emotional maps, and cosmic parenting guidance - there’s a simple sign-up form at the bottom of this post. I’d love to have you in the circle.
Welcome to the First Issue
I’m thrilled to welcome you to the very first issue of Hiding In The Signs, a twice-monthly newsletter that will reinvent how you understand the 12 Signs of the Zodiac, how they relate to your children, and how they awaken the hidden places inside your own inner child.
For all the astrology we think we know, there’s an entire layer most people never touch. Not the personality traits. Not the memes. The deeper layer - the architecture of the sign itself:
the instinct beneath its surface
the way each archetype seeks safety
the way it processes feeling
the way it braces, softens, retreats, or compensates
These emails will not be about “Scorpio Suns are like this” or “Leo Moons do that.” They’re about how each of the 12 Signs expresses itself everywhere in a chart. Its essence stays constant: the same emotional blueprint, the same psychological logic, the same core need.
This series is meant to help you recognize that essence anywhere it lives: in your child, in yourself, in your partner, and in the subtle moments of your everyday life.
And because every cycle begins in the dark, we begin under the Scorpio New Moon; the sign that teaches us how truth feels before it’s ever spoken.
The Scorpio Nature
Scorpio is the part of the zodiac that refuses to skim the surface. It listens for the tone beneath the words. It watches the space after the reaction. It notices the shift before anyone else does.
Scorpio thrives on understanding what’s real. Not to expose it, but to feel safe in a world that changes quickly. Where other signs reach outward, Scorpio reaches inward first. It asks: Is this true? Is this steady? Is this mine to trust?
In children, this instinct shows up long before language. They read sincerity like weather. They guard their softest places like treasure. And they open only when the emotional congruence is real -- something that can’t be faked, rushed, or performed. Scorpio doesn’t fear the dark. It fears dishonesty in the light.
Which leads to the deeper question: why does Scorpio stir so much inside us?
The Scorpio Mirror
Perhaps more than any other sign, Scorpio doesn’t just ask for emotional truth - it awakens it. It has a way of making us feel strangely seen, even when nothing is said out loud. And I’ve noticed something again and again: many parents feel unusually stirred by Scorpio energy in their children.
Whether it’s their child’s Mars, Moon, Sun, Rising, or simply the way the household interacts with Scorpio transits. It grazes the places inside them that were never met with steadiness, honesty, or safety.
You might feel it too:
Maybe you learned to perform strength instead of receiving support. Maybe your intuition or intensity was minimized. Maybe you held the truth quietly just to stay connected. When Scorpio energy appears in your child, your partner, or even your timing… something in you reacts. Not as conflict, but as unfinished business. A faint pull in the psyche.
And this is the doorway; the place where the work becomes transformative. Where you get to greet an old instinct with new awareness. Where you get to build something more honest than what you inherited. Even if you have no prominent Scorpio placements, this part of the psyche lives in all of us - waiting for the moment it can be integrated with warmth instead of fear.
A Quiet Ritual for the New Moon
For this New Moon, keep your practice simple: Let truth be the first thing you meet.
Before soothing, before correcting, before explaining… meet the moment exactly as it is. Scorpio softens when reality is acknowledged without hesitation. You don’t need perfect wording - just presence that doesn’t look away.
Try saying things like:
“Something true is underneath this… I feel it.”
“You don’t have to rush your way out of this feeling.”
“I’m here. Take your time.”
This isn’t about solving anything. It’s about living the energy that says: what’s honest is welcome. When truth arrives first, everything else arrives gentler.
A Closing Reflection
Every sign carries the wisdom of a chapter of human life. Scorpio corresponds to the passage where truth becomes non-negotiable. That midpoint in life when illusions fall away and what’s real rises to the surface. This doesn’t mean Scorpio children act like elders with retirement plans. It means their instinct mirrors that phase:
clarity over charm
depth over distraction
authenticity over approval
Under a New Moon, we’re not in the full expression of that energy - we’re at the seed. The first hum under the surface. The whisper of what can’t stay hidden. As you move through this week, watch for the moments (in yourself or in your child) where something rings unmistakably true. That hum is the essence of Scorpio.
Thank you for reading. I hope you’ll join me for the next issue of Hiding In The Signs: Full Moon Sagittarius.
