New Moon in Scorpio
November 19/20, 2025 @ 10:48 PM PT / 1:48 AM ET
Transform Through Truth
This New Moon in Scorpio arrives at 28°11′, stirring deep emotional renewal, transformation, and personal power. Scorpio is the sign of alchemy, endings that become beginnings, shadows that turn into strength.
Under this lunation, clarity often comes through honesty: the kind that asks us to confront what’s hidden, release what’s toxic, and make peace with what we’ve outgrown.
This is a potent moment for setting intentions rooted in emotional truth.
Scorpio energy asks for depth, not surface-level change. If you’ve been carrying old fears, resentments, or attachments, this New Moon invites you to compost them into wisdom. In doing so, you make space for something more aligned to take root, intimacy, empowerment, or a new sense of direction that feels undeniably authentic.
The day after this lunation, the Sun enters Sagittarius, shifting the tone from introspection to expansion. Where Scorpio asks you to dig deep, Sagittarius opens the horizon, helping you find meaning and faith in what’s next. Together, these energies remind you that real transformation doesn’t end in the dark, it ends in illumination.
This New Moon encourages you to trust your ability to start again from a place of inner strength.
The Scorpio Sagittarius handoff teaches that rebirth isn’t just about letting go, it’s about growing wiser, clearer, and freer in how you choose to move forward.
Notable Sub-Themes
- Emotional Honesty: Transformation begins with truth, what are you ready to admit to yourself?
- Release & Rebirth: Endings and beginnings are intertwined; closure creates space for renewal.
- Empowered Vulnerability: Strength is found in openness, not control.
- From Depth to Direction: The move into Sagittarius encourages faith in what’s ahead.
Energetic Forecast
Love & Relationships
Emotional intensity runs high. Honest conversations may feel uncomfortable but ultimately strengthen trust. If you’ve been holding back, this is the time to share your truth with compassion and courage. Connection now deepens through vulnerability and emotional integrity, not control or guessing games.
Career & Finances
Scorpio’s investigative nature makes this an excellent time for strategic planning, financial cleanup, and clarifying power dynamics in the workplace. Avoid making decisions from fear or secrecy; transparency builds long-term stability. As Sagittarius season dawns, new opportunities for growth and learning emerge from the clarity you’ve created.
Spirituality & Growth
This lunation carries profound healing potential. Scorpio invites inner work: shadow journaling, therapy, energy clearing, or meditation on forgiveness. As the Sun moves into Sagittarius, spiritual insight expands. The darkness reveals wisdom if you’re willing to sit with it. Growth comes from transforming old pain into purpose.
The Scorpio New Moon is a reminder that transformation isn’t about destruction, it’s about reclamation. It asks you to strip away what’s false so that your next chapter can rise from authenticity, not obligation. With Sagittarius season beginning the next day, the energy moves from shadow to light, from introspection to inspiration. What you confront now becomes the wisdom that guides your next leap forward.

- Scorpio Sun / Moon / Rising: Personal reinvention and emotional rebirth are in motion.
- Taurus Sun / Moon / Rising: Partnership and resource themes call for balance and trust.
- Leo & Aquarius Sun / Moon / Rising: Power, intimacy, and creative direction come under review.

Journaling Prompts
- What truth am I ready to face that will set me free?
- Where am I holding on out of fear rather than trust?
- What part of myself is ready to be reborn?
- How can I turn past pain into deeper wisdom or purpose?
- What does emotional honesty look like for me right now?
Ritual for the Scorpio New Moon — Intention Through Release
You’ll need:
- A black or deep purple candle
- A bowl of water or a small dish of salt (for purification)
- Paper and pen
Steps:
- Light your candle and take a few deep breaths. Allow yourself to settle into the stillness.
- On one side of the paper, write what you’re ready to release, fears, patterns, or emotional attachments that keep you small.
- On the other side, write intentions for transformation, qualities or energies you want to embody in their place.
- Read both sides aloud, acknowledging the power of letting go and inviting in.
- Fold the paper toward you (drawing your new intentions in) and place it under the bowl of water or salt.
Close with: “I release what no longer serves my truth. I trust the renewal rising within me.”
