New Moon In Scorpio November 20th, 2025
The Sun and Moon unite at 28 degrees of Scorpio, the last decan of Scorpio energy, alluding to the potent energy of transformation and psychic renewal. As always with New Moons, this is a time for planting seeds of intention, as our conscious mind and subconscious mind unify to draw experiences towards us. Scorpio is the sign of intensity, the energy we share and have taken on from others, financially, ancestrally, spiritually, sexually and emotionally. In the last degrees of Scorpio, we are ready to alchemize what we have been given from others, evolve, and break patterns.
Scorpio is the sign concerned with trauma, and the hidden undercurrents of desire that usually stem from ancestral wounds. A relationship-oriented sign, Scorpio is the lessons we impart from becoming intimately involved with another, and oftentimes, the pain patterns that resurface from intimate exchanges. In Scorpio, we are here to permanently alter ourselves through relational experiences. Ruled by Pluto, the God of the underworld, in Scorpio, we are concerned with fated connections, experiences of immense power and also immense pain. Pluto guards the void and is affiliated with deep subconscious emotions, where we burn up old karma and move ahead, through being forced to surrender.
Scorpio is rules over soul contracts and soul agreements, the relationships we have that alter the course of our lives and serve to give us a greater understanding of the depth of our emotions. This is an important time to check the soul agreements we wish to renew, update, or refine. We are taught about energetic boundaries in Scorpio, and how we can reenact the cosmic drama of others if we are not in our own power.
What patterns are you free of? What are you ready to jump into? What obsessions have you cleared that now provide you with room for new potential? What lies beyond the conveyor belt of ancestral patterns?
A striking magnifying glass is placed on our need for depth, with Mercury retrograde in Scorpio, reminding us that we learn the most about our ability to give and receive love from deep entanglements. But the retrograde reminds us, we love at the level of consciousness we are at. Not everyone is so willing or able to untie and unhook themselves from their own pain. It is not our job to take on the unprocessed emotional material of others. It IS our job to give LOVE and PASSION a new meaning. Mercury transforms our perception over the course of this New Moon.
Mars is in Sagittarius, is revving his engine and ready to push us ahead. Mars is considered another ruler of Scorpio, representing the personal will and our direction. Our zest for physical movement and taking action is restored. The dichotomy of the two rulers of Scorpio, Pluto (representing things like karma, the souls development, the finger of fate) and Mars (representing our self assertion and personal will) speaks to a need to find a sweet spot between surrender and knowing when to take the next best indicated action. With Scorpio energy being so linked to our desires, we are reminded that anything that is truly meant for us comes back to us, when the timing is aligned. Use these two polarities of Scorpio to ask yourself, do my desires fit with the development of my soul? Are my intentions leading me to growth, or detriment?
So much of this year has been a space of energetic suspension, but this New Moon is supported by the outer planets, promising that if we commit to self improvement and self work, the outer world will meet us half way. It's time to take the lessons we have learned and put them to the test. It’s time to replace unhealthy attachments with attachments that invoke personal wellness and spiritual sovereignty.
On New Moons, we can condition our reality, shift our lives and pick a clear direction. This particular New Moon is a chance to reprogram our relationship to passion, power and intimacy. A time to refine our personal definition of love.
