New Moon in Scorpio | November 2025
On November 19, we welcome a New Moon in Scorpio at 10:46 p.m. Pacific Time (adjust for your local time zone). The Scorpio New Moon is happening at 28°11′ Scorpio — the third of seven consecutive New Moons happening at 28 degrees. This repeating degree pattern is rare and meaningful, signaling a major energetic emphasis on beginnings at this deeply intuitive and emotional degree.
The first of these took place during the partial Solar Eclipse New Moon in Virgo on September 21. While that New Moon was technically at 29°, the eclipse itself began at 28°. We then had the New Moon in Libra in October at 28°, this Scorpio New Moon at 28°, and next month’s Sagittarius New Moon will also fall at 28°. This pattern continues into 2026: the Capricorn New Moon in January, the Aquarius Solar Eclipse New Moon, and the Pisces New Moon will all occur at 28°.
In traditional degree theory, the 28th degree is ruled by Cancer, tying these lunations to themes of emotional wisdom, intuition, ancestral memory, family, safety, security, and the desire to create a more nurturing foundation. These seven back-to-back 28° New Moons are asking us to plant seeds rooted in heart intelligence and long-term emotional stability.
I also want to highlight something striking about the current cosmic pattern: these seven New Moons at 28 degrees are unfolding between four back-to-back Full Moons at 13 degrees. This creates a powerful energetic corridor — a sequence of endings and beginnings happening at very specific degree signatures.
In degree theory, the 13th degree is ruled by Aries, the sign of initiation, courage, and the spark of new life. Aries energy is raw, primal, and forward-moving. When a Full Moon lands at a degree ruled by Aries, it signals both the culmination of one chapter and the ignition of something new. It’s a release that immediately makes space for fresh momentum.
Each zodiac sign rules particular degrees within the 0–29° spectrum — and because there are 12 signs but 30 degrees, some signs rule more than one degree. Aries governs several degrees associated with action, individuation, and new beginnings, and the 13th degree belongs to Aries’ second decan, amplifying themes of passion, identity, and the courage to break through stagnation.
So we have:
- Full Moons at 13° (Aries-ruled): clearing, severing ties, completing cycles, catalyzing bold new directions.
- New Moons at 28° (Cancer-ruled): planting seeds rooted in emotional intelligence, security, intuition, ancestral wisdom, and long-term soul alignment.
This creates a powerful energetic rhythm: release → initiate → plant → nurture → evolve — repeating with precision from fall 2025 through early 2026.
What is a New Moon?
New Moons are portals for intention-setting — moments to plant seeds (energetic or literal) for what we want to invite into our lives. This Scorpio New Moon is one of the final lunations of 2025 (we’ll finish the year with a Sagittarius New Moon), and we won’t see another Capricorn New Moon until early 2026. Now is the time to lay the groundwork for how you want to show up, what you want to build, and what you want to experience in the year ahead.
Although Halloween has passed, it’s meaningful to remember that in Celtic tradition, the entire month of November was honored as Samhain — the midpoint between the Libra Equinox and the Capricorn Solstice. It was seen as a potent time to plant metaphorical seeds in the dark, trusting they would bloom come spring. Gardeners know this intimately: some things must be planted in fall to flower months later. This is exactly the energetic timing of this New Moon.
Use this lunation to set clear, emotionally aligned intentions in the area of life governed by Scorpio in your chart — and think long-term. Where do you want to be in 2026? Which foundations, habits, and emotional frameworks will support that vision?
This New Moon initiates a story that will culminate at the Scorpio Full Moon on May 1, 2026. What you focus on now becomes the energy that grows. You are planting the seeds of your future.
Practical step:
Locate Scorpio in your natal chart and identify the house it rules for you (if you’re not an Aries Rising, Scorpio will govern a different house than its natural 8th-house placement). Once you know the house, reflect on:
- How do I want to grow in this area of life?
- What do I want more of? How do I want to show up?
- What needs to be released so there is room for new growth?
Use this Scorpio New Moon to plant with intention, tend your inner garden, and consciously choose what you want to nurture into bloom.

Scorpio Archetype: The Mystic of the Zodiac
Ruled by both Mars and Pluto, Scorpio carries a deep, esoteric current that lives beneath the surface. As a fixed, feminine water sign, its energy is like a wild river frozen at the top—still, controlled, unreadable. But below the ice, the emotional waters run powerful and constant. A Scorpio is always feeling, always sensing, always tracking truth.
Scorpio naturally rules the eighth house—the domain of sex, death, rebirth, and the profound cycles of transformation. This is why the phoenix is such an emblematic symbol of the sign: destruction is never the end; it is the beginning of a new incarnation. The eighth house also rules the occult, astrology, mysticism, psychological shadow work, major life changes, shared resources, other people’s money, and inherited patterns both literal and energetic.
And because Scorpio is a fixed water sign, there’s a strong attachment to emotion and memory. Even when the inner world becomes heavy or stagnant, letting go of the familiar can feel threatening. Releasing what no longer serves us isn’t a neat spiritual concept—it’s a visceral, internal battle.
Under this Scorpio New Moon, many of us may feel exposed, raw, or emotionally tender. Scorpio sees straight through facades, and that X-ray vision can make it impossible to hide—especially from ourselves. Buried feelings, secrets, obsessions, or unspoken truths may rise to the surface. Some relationships or dynamics may shift as a result. This can be a time of crisis, catharsis, and purging—but also profound healing.
If emotions spike or tempers flare, breathe deeply and ride the waves rather than resist them. There is value in emotional intensity. It reminds us of our power, reveals what needs clearing, and opens space for new energy—energy aligned with our highest good, our transformation, and our destiny.
How to Work with This Energy Intentionally
- Identify your Libra-ruled house using your rising sign. Example:
- Aquarius Rising → Scorpio rules your 10th house: career, public image, legacy, and parental influences
- Leo Rising →Scorpio rules your 4th house: home, family, roots, ancestors, and emotional foundations
- Scorpio Rising → Scorpio rules your 1st house: self, identity, habits, and how you present yourself to the world
- Set New Moon intentions through this lens:
- What area of life is illuminated by Libra?
- What do I want to grow, shift, or expand here?
- Six months from now, what would I love to feel or experience?
Write, speak, or visualize your intentions. They will echo into the Scorpio Full Moon on May 1, 2026.

Astrology of the Scorpio New Moon: A Water-Dominant, Emotionally Transformative Chart
At the time of the Scorpio New Moon, the chart is drenched in water and anchored by fixed energy — a combination that makes emotional change both inevitable and challenging.
In Scorpio (Water, Fixed):
- Sun
- Moon
- Mercury
- Venus
- Black Moon Lilith
This is deep water, the kind that doesn’t splash loudly but pulls you inward. With five planets plus Lilith in Scorpio, the emotional undercurrent is intense, intuitive, secretive, and transformative.
Other planetary placements:
- Mars in Sagittarius (Fire, Mutable)
- Jupiter in Cancer (Water, Cardinal, Retrograde)
- Saturn in Pisces (Water, Mutable, Retrograde)
- Uranus in Taurus at 29°29′ (Earth, Fixed, Retrograde)
- Neptune in Pisces at 29°29′ (Water, Mutable, Retrograde)
- Pluto in Aquarius (Air, Fixed)
- North Node in Pisces (Water, Mutable, Retrograde)
- Chiron retrograde
With Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, the North Node, and Chiron all retrograde, the energy is internal, reflective, and focused on reprocessing the past before stepping into the future.
Elemental + Modal Balance: Water + Fixed Energy Dominant
Water is the strongest element in the entire chart.
Fixed energy is the dominant modality.
This combination shows emotional changes that feel heavy, slow, or reluctant — not because we “shouldn’t” change, but because we’re deeply attached to what’s familiar. Scorpio doesn’t fear transformation, but it does hold on tightly until the very last moment. Add all this fixed energy, and we may feel both ready for renewal and resistant to letting go.
And because Scorpio is the sign of secrets, shadows, and the unseen, these emotions may catch us off-guard — bubbling up from places we thought we’d already moved on from.
An Example of the Emotional Landscape of This New Moon
Think of emotional attachment the way I felt about the first couch my husband and I bought together back in 2017. That couch moved with us through multiple homes. Our dog slept on it, I spent countless postpartum hours on it, and it became the backdrop of so many quiet, intimate family moments. Over time it broke — the frame cracked, springs popped through, and it physically hurt to sit on.
Logically, I was irritated by it. We couldn’t even use it as a family for months. But when the new couch arrived and the old one was hauled away, I broke down crying. Not because the couch itself mattered — but because it symbolized an entire chapter of my life.
That’s the emotional tone of this New Moon.
We may feel grateful for what’s coming in, but deeply sentimental, raw, or unexpectedly shaken by what’s leaving — even if the old chapter had become uncomfortable, limiting, or no longer supportive.
Mars + Pluto: The Rulers of This New Moon
Mars, traditional ruler of Scorpio, is in Sagittarius — a fire sign that fuels motivation, truth-seeking, and forward movement. Mars in Sagittarius is impulsive, bold, and eager to take action. There is a desire to leap into something new, expand, or fight for what feels meaningful.
Pluto, modern ruler of Scorpio, is in Aquarius, continuing its collective activation of awakening, rebellion against outdated structures, and demands for equality, futurism, and innovation. Pluto in Aquarius shakes us awake and asks:
“Are you living your own life or the one you were conditioned to live?”
For many millennials — the Pluto in Scorpio generation — this transit hits especially hard. We are already the ones questioning norms around parenting, workplace culture, emotional labor, environmental responsibility, and “the way it’s always been done.”
This New Moon magnifies that process. It’s not just an emotional shift — it’s a generational awakening.
What else does the Scorpio New Moon have in store for us collectively?
This period emphasizes emotional equilibrium, self-understanding, and a deeper focus on personal life. There is a heightened awareness of inner needs, home dynamics, and close relationships, offering clarity and encouraging healthy communication. Mental energy is sharp and active, making this an excellent time for planning, organizing, learning, negotiating, and sharing ideas—but flexibility is required as unexpected insights or changes may arise.
You’ll likely feel more optimistic, generous, and motivated, with opportunities for growth in both personal and professional areas. Confidence increases, allowing you to take meaningful steps toward long-term goals. Support from mentors, elders, or authority figures may help solidify plans and provide practical guidance. Stability deepens in relationships, and commitments or long-term partnerships may strengthen.
There is also a strong emphasis on spiritual awareness, intuition, creativity, and a desire to connect with something larger than yourself. Psychic sensitivity may heighten, dreams become more informative, and you may be drawn toward healing, charity work, or community efforts. Artistic inspiration flows more easily, and this is an excellent time to explore or expand spiritual practices.
At the same time, a restless urge for independence may surface, bringing unpredictability or sudden shifts in mood or external circumstances. Adaptability is key—reacting impulsively could lead to drama, but staying open to change can reveal exciting new possibilities or breakthroughs. Emotional clarity and patience help prevent misunderstandings or unnecessary conflict.
Powerful transformative energy is also present, helping you break habits, clear clutter, confront buried emotions, and step into a more empowered version of yourself. Interactions with others may feel more intense or revealing, offering opportunities for deepening bonds or releasing what no longer serves. Research, psychological insight, and honest self-reflection are especially fruitful now.
Overall, this is a time for meaningful growth on every level—mental, emotional, spiritual, and practical. With patience, openness, and grounded effort, the period supports significant personal evolution, stronger foundations, and a renewed sense of purpose.
