ASTRO: NEW MOON IN SCORPIO. A DEEP DIVE BEFORE ACTION

ASTRO: NEW MOON IN SCORPIO

NOV 19 - 20 2025

All Hail & Welcome to Astro, my journeying through cosmic energies on offer to us at New & Full Moon phases throughout the year. A very auspicious New Year to you, if you celebrate the Wheel of the Year. I find that the next couple of months contain a variety of references to new year or the returning of the Sun/ Son/ Sol. I feel to celebrate many of these during this time as it wholly resonates with me that a new beginning takes some time to settle in & get comfy before the outer work begins again. As such our references to New year begin with our internal machinations whilst we redefine ourselves within our own sacred cavern-space. Much like Mother Earth receding into the ground to regenerate after a long year of upward motion, we too need to take some advice & recede for our own wisdom which resides inside of us. Deities we resonate with at this time of year often recede to the Underworld or Otherworld to attend to inner workings. So along those threads, we can take a deeper dive into what the cosmos has on offer to us at this time by also taking a look at the planetary influences in play.

New Moon is a time of preparation, new beginnings, a flow of Ideas, new initiatives, planting seeds of intent for our future selves. It is the ending of a cycle & the beginning of a new month of phasing, as such will offer us a fresh outlook, new ideas & a surge of ‘let’s do this’ to our energy levels. We must bear in mind that some of our new ideas will be in their raw state & will need logical consideration before being aired in public. Whatever it is this New Moon phase brings, be mindful of thoughts, feelings & actions. Deliberate where necessary & share when a logical outcome seems inevitable. As this is new moon, we can expect new beginnings in the areas highlighted or within the themes of the sign of Scorpio. Water sign Scorpio governs intimacy, sharing, power, money & control, so pay attention to any areas which become highlighted during this phase as there is an indication of new beginnings in one or more of them. In addition, Scorpio new moon enables us to enhance upon our personal aspirations through the more positive qualities of the sign, within energies concerning resourcefulness, focus, passion, deep delving & cognisance.

Scorpio is an intense water sign, of transformative energies, full of passion & intent. This water sign likes to dig deep into intense emotional areas in our lives, so we may experience deep emotions coming to the surface to be heard & felt into, perhaps even put to rest. These issues will help the healing process & transform the way we react & feel.  Scorpio themes cover an array of personal areas. It has a lot of themes of its own, many of which are a great companion to New Moon. The main theme of Scorpio is transformation, death & rebirth. There is a call to emotional & Shamanic processes during this time to enable us to move forward with our state of consciousness. We are being called to flush out those energies which have held us in suspended stasis, to relieve ourselves of the energies in which we have dwelt for maybe too long, to release, learn the lesson, to move toward our goals. We are all aware that to grow, we must first prepare our ground for planting the seeds of intent. So, perhaps it’s time for a clear out, mentally, physically or spiritually. Then ask:-

What needs to be released in order to make space for growth? Think about the things we use to bounce to when things aren’t going as we expected, drinking, smoking, drugs, unhealthy sexual connections, ways of thinking, actions. Old ways that we do not partake in otherwise.

What am I missing in life that makes me bounce to these destructive behaviours? Think along the lines of the things which bring you the highs & adrenaline which make you feel great about life in general.

How can I make the needed changes in my life, to make it fuller & more desirable? Think about the things which hold you back from being more adventurous.

 Scorpio beginning this new Moon cycle offers us a chance to concentrate more on our personal objectives concerning focus, inventiveness, discovery, passion & deep intuition. We are being asked to acknowledge areas of life where we feel powerless & need to take control back. This helps us to set new boundaries for the good of our well-being & of those close to us. By releasing emotional bonds which bind us to unhealthy distraction, we can gain clarity & achieve autonomy once again. Perhaps that new beginning we’ve been wishing for. When we empower ourselves to find solutions which benefit us in the long run, our lives begin to change to the better, for ourselves & those we share our lives with. Look for opportunities which empower gaining control in life. These are the routes which can help our passions blossom making us much stronger than we think we are.

In addition, Scorpio theme is wealth, which could indicate money or highlight the things we value most. Whatever makes life better & real for us is being highlighted by Scorpio New Moon, so pay attention to what arises in the personal sphere. This is a good time for joint initiatives or to concentrate on one key partnership, which offers hope toward our futures. In addition, it’s is a good time to discover & hear out another’s intentions, which can redefine our feelings toward intimacy & exoneration.

Furthermore, Scorpio energy is about power. The power of domination, manipulation & control as well as shared power. This is the energy which comes from those who have already discovered themselves & stand in their own sovereignty, wishing to help others to do the same. It’s about quality & an intention to do things right.

An intention to regain control in certain areas of life may offer us the opportunity to delve deeper into what we feel is missing. In turn, this will lead us to how & why we bounce from one destructive behaviour to another to release the burden of our heavy emotions surrounding these issues. The power to regain control is in the acknowledgement that our destructive distractions do not help in our quest for the life we desire. In this, we discover how strongly we feel toward our desires vs how we deal with working toward our desires. Giving up & taking solace in detrimental vices does not lead us to our destination, rather it holds us back in situ & possible stagnation. Keep moving forward in a positive manner, as difficult as that sounds, it will be worth the journeying toward desire.

Of course, the most obvious Scorpio theme is sex! Let us delve, shall we? Lust, being the raw sexual energy & desire for sexual pleasure to reach orgasm; sacred / tantric sex in which light bodies combine, which functions at a higher level of ecstasy. Well, it’s all there isn’t it? This Moon wants us to concentrate on one relationship at a time, so as not to pour ourselves too thinly, but to focus for the purpose of initiating depth & deep understanding of ourselves & an important ‘other’ in our lives.

Finally, Scorpio rules the occult. Occult means ‘hidden’. Hidden refers to the unseen, supernatural & what exceeds the 5 senses, this can indicate mediumship, astrology, tarot, energy healing & psychic abilities. Keep an eye & ear open for gentle nudges from the universe or our guides.

Pay attention to where there is illumination to any of Scorpio themes, as these will be dominant aspects to our lives at this time. Scorpio moon is a good time to master any of the themes mentioned. In addition to focus & deep perception, we can work toward clearing the bad habits which hold us in stasis & discover that which we feel is lacking & leads us to self-destructive pursuits.

This can be a time for us to find our courage, to release the fear of facing up to challenging issues including emotional events. As uncomfortable as they make us feel, this can give us back personal control & healing.

We move on through New Scorpio moon in which we will feel the ending manoeuvre us to a new beginning & into another sign. This motion is poignant when you take in Scorpio’s transformational meaning & its end, sending us into a fiery Sagittarian, thought provoking, curious adventure, where we take aim at all we have unveiled as our path in life & fire our arrows to the direction of our dreams, wishes, next steps toward the life we have envisaged. Its quite an exciting time.....

Planetary influences

A kite & Grand water Trine:-

New Moon Conjunct Sun & Mercury in retrograde in Scorpio

New Moon opposite Uranus in Taurus

New Moon Trine Saturn/Neptune conjunction in Pisces

New Moon Trine Jupiter in Cancer

We have been experiencing a grand water Trine involving some of the larger planets, Saturn & Neptune in Pisces, Jupiter in Cancer, where the flow of ideas & life itself have been moving fairly generously. As Uranus in Taurus joins the configuration along with the Sun & Moon in Scorpio conjunct Mercury retrograde, we begin to feel the breakthroughs or witness revelations. This shapes up to influence our experience of the Scorpio New Moon in a deeply investigative way. All planets involved point toward preparation before action, transformation, renewal, introspection, preparing for a new chapter, an unexpected surprise, past wounds surfacing for healing, completion or resolution of an ongoing issue are also highlighted. Moreover, when Mercury goes Direct 28^th November, we are given a start date to plant our seeds & take action on those areas in which we have dived deep into. Its pretty simple when we can look at it like that. With there being an ample element of water, we can expect that anything which comes to the surface will have a certain fast flow to its completion. Its time to let the universe guide us toward healing & resolution for movement toward the next chapter in our lives.

And that’s this month’s Astro: New Moon article for you. Thank you for joining me on this expedition of the cosmic energies on offer to us. I look forward to another adventure with you on or nearer the Full Moon 4 December 2025. Until then, I wish you all the very best of life & all it has to offer.

In gratitude, love, light & all betwixt
