New Moon in Scorpio
As the Sun and Moon come into alignment in the murky depths of Scorpio’s waters, a siren call for an initiation may occur, asking if you have the courage to descend into the darkness a final time, so that you may arise into a new light.
This request to delve into the underworld - initiated by the New Moon at 28° Scorpio on November 20th 2025 (6:47am GMT) - will require you develop the willingness to sit with yourself as you embark upon an emotional and psychological exploration.
One that, with Uranus (Rx in Taurus) in opposition, may invoke a somewhat unsettling feeling to arise.
Yet, here you are ultimately being challenged to evolve beyond your current sense of lack and limitation, in order to awaken to a new level of awareness, self-empowerment, and freedom.
However, for any metamorphosis to occur, there must be a willingness for an old form to be shed, so that a new one can emerge and thus, during this time, you may be called to consider as to what within you, or within your life, must die before a rebirth can take place.
Are you prepared to let go of fear, resentment, expectation, disappointment, conditioning, and past pain, along with the emotional and mental attachment you may have to them, in order to move forward towards a new beginning. Accepting that life’s cyclical nature means that things are always changing, always in flux, and thus, nothing remains the same. Nothing can ever be held on to, including your own sense of identity.
Thus, with so much of the sky stationed retrograde (Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, Chiron, and the Lunar Nodes), it’s time to journey within, so as to reflect on the varying forms you have taken over the course of a lifetime and this past year especially. What did you learn from the places you explored, from the things you experienced, with the people you intertwined your energy with.
And how, when you look ahead, do these insights shape the path ahead.
With Mars (Scorpio’s traditional ruler), retrograde in Sagittarius, making a square to the Lunar Nodes (on the Virgo-Pisces axis), the sky is calling you to finish what was started in previous times, by asking that you learn to surrender control when it comes to the bigger picture of your life. Thus, can you move into this next chapter of your being with complete faith, trusting how you feel, not what your mind would have you think.
And in doing so, can you clarify your deeper motivation and intention when it comes to your desires, so that you are able to take conscious, meaningful action that leads to authentically aligned outcomes.
By May 1st 2026, when this lunar cycle reaches its point of completion at the Scorpio Full Moon, what has been shed during this time and what remains in the aftermath will become clear, defining the next chapter of your life and the form you embody within it.
