Depth, transformation, truth: The New Moon in Scorpio
New Moon in Scorpio | Thursday, November 20, 2025 at 1:47am EST
The New Moon in Scorpio marks the start of a lunar cycle focused on uncovering our deepest needs, desires, and motivations that drive us to understand ourselves on a new level. This event encourages us to renew our commitment to personal growth and potential, inviting us to develop a more intentional relationship with change, death, and loss. The Sun and the Moon at 28º of Scorpio are precisely conjunct retrograde Mercury, also at 28º of Scorpio, and are closely opposing retrograde Uranus at 29º of Taurus. This alignment highlights the need for profound transformation in how we think, relate, communicate, and perceive reality, increasing the chances of breakthroughs, sudden changes, and radical shifts both internally and externally.
Themes and Energies to Watch
Depth, transformation, truth
Scorpio is a sign associated with intensity, hidden truths, endings that can lead to rebirth, intimacy, and power dynamics. With the New Moon present, these themes stand out.
Because Mercury is retrograde and in close conjunction, there is a strong pull to look inward, revisit past issues, and allow deeper insights to surface.
The opposition to Uranus suggests surprises, shifts, or awakenings—things that may break old patterns.
The supportive aspects (Grande Water Trine) indicate that, although this is a powerful shift in time, space, and identity, a current of support is present, meaning the transformation can be grounded rather than chaotic.
Focus areas
Shared resources, debts, inheritances, partnerships (especially where control, trust, or power are involved)—Scorpio rules the 8th house.
Psychological/emotional patterns: what you’ve been suppressing or what needs to be released.
Identity shifts: With 28° of Scorpio, some see this as nearing the “end of a cycle,” and from my perspective, it’s also a preparation for the next cycle of energy—letting go so something new can emerge.
