New Moon at 28°11’ Scorpio 🌑 Nov 19th, 2025, at 10:47 pm PT

Every year when this Scorpionic new moon rolls around, there is always a level of shedding required from whatever mental, emotional, or situational baggage has been clogging the doorway into a new beginning.

This week’s upcoming scorpio new moon occurring Nov 19th at 10:47 pm pst feels particularly more weighty than usual, darker, more consequential than previous cycles. There is a sense that the stakes have quietly risen. That whatever you choose or refuse to choose now will ripple farther than it normally would.

Part of this weight comes from the outer planets undergoing major rebirth cycles. Uranus retrograde is making its final trek through Taurus before it reenters Gemini for good on April 26th 2026. This shift will kick off an eight year collective cycle centered around the mind: what we consume, what we share, how ideas spread, and how information becomes either a tool for unity or a weapon for fragmentation.

Between last year’s Scorpio new moon and this year’s, Pluto also shifted signs. A full generational handoff from Capricorn to Aquarius.

Saturn and Neptune are also making it’s retrograde trek back to existential Pisces before shooting us back out of the womb again with brand new identities, new beliefs, and a new frequency of selfhood that many of us are only now beginning to understand at a beginner’s level. They will be making an exact conjunction at 0°Aries on February 20th. The last time we had these two planets conjunct was back in 1989, 36 years ago.

Your desires, ambitions, dreams carries more consequential weight when these two sit side by side. Neptune is the airy visionary ideas co-founder that has a new idea every 10 minutes. Saturn is the sober partner asking the questions that make the dream real. How will this function. Who will it serve. What resources will this require. Both planets are in the stage of examining the collective landscape and deciding what needs to be built for the next era.

If we imagine Saturn and Neptune as co-founders in a visionary company still in the early stages of building…they will look at the markets. The state of the world. The needs of the collective. Especially if they want to build a company whose ethos is not out of touch with the people they’re trying to serve.

They will then look at Pluto, and Uranus. Both of these outer planets are not in the building phase right now. They are in the wrecking phase right now. Especially as Uranus is opposing this upcoming New Moon. You may also have massive emotional epiphanies happening around this time that may change your course of direction suddenly. I would stay open and being willing to adapt if this happens this week for you.

When so much destabilization is happening at the global level, building anything visionary requires developing the capacity to remain centered in the eye of the storm. It means co creating with chaos. It means understanding that we are living through multiple timelines and that not all of them will survive.

Only one will eventually become the dominant storyline of the world. This is a birth canal period, and birth canals are never peaceful.

So how you manage your day to day thoughts, emotions and actions will all play a role here. From both a micro personal scale, and rippling out to the world at large.

This is where this New Moon in Scorpio comes in. And it will be helped by a grand water trine between the Sun in Scorpio, Jupiter in Cancer (in Retrograde right now), and Saturn in Pisces. This offers emotional containment, spiritual clarity, and a feeling of being held by something larger than your personal will which is deeply needed right now. It will help make the pieces click for you on an emotional level even if it feels like an internal eruption for you. I would make note of what arises this week, and wait till Mercury stations direct to take external action.

A couple hours after this New Moon’s peak, Mercury will meet the Sun, forming a cazimi during it’s retrograde. This is Mercury’s underworld moment, the midpoint of the retrograde when the mind is purified, emptied, and reoriented toward what comes next. When the Moon and Mercury are both meeting the Sun at the same degree, something inside you is rebooting. Old mental habits burn off. Assumptions lose their power. You stop thinking in circles and start recognizing what you have been trying not to know. This can show up as needing to withdraw briefly. A day or two offline. Less noise. More space to listen for the signal in the static.

Because this New Moon takes place in Scorpio, Mars is its ruler. And Mars is currently in Sagittarius, which gives this lunation its appetite for motion. Mars in Sagittarius acts like a wild horse that threads through next year’s Chinese zodiac as well. We are moving into a Horse year in Chinese astrology, which mirrors the same archetype: instinct, motion, liberation. We are entering a collective period where people will no longer tolerate being corralled by structures that feel restrictive or dishonest. Even those who have been compliant until now will feel the pressure to seek their own definition of freedom.

So with Mercury, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus all in slow down retrograde cycles right now, Mars is feeling restless this month, frustrated by this phase of slow down. The energy is backed up. The momentum is building but not yet released. Many people feel like they are in a holding pattern, waiting for the signal, sensing that something big is coming but not yet visible.

This New Moon in Scorpio will have us confront any habits, situations that are self-sabotaging that we’re still planning on bringing into the new chapter. Hence the pause. You need to clean this up before you can move forward with your plans.

There is a cost to dragging old debris into a new cycle, especially when we are about to enter a year ruled by the Horse, where movement is natural but only when you drop the weight that slows the gallop. The wild horse archetype does not run because it is reckless. It runs because it understands instinctively that freedom requires responsiveness, agility, and a willingness to leave behind anything that dulls its speed or clarity.

Ways To Set Intentions With This Moon

• Identify the one pattern you absolutely cannot bring into next year. It can be a pattern that has cost you the most energy this past year that isn’t helpful.
• Review your life from November 2024 to November 2025 and write out what began, what transformed, what collapsed, what you learned, and what you refuse to repeat in the next cycle.
• Identify where Uranus is pushing you toward freedom by noticing the places where you feel restless, irritated, or boxed in, and acknowledge the part of your life that feels too small.
• Honor the wild horse energy rising for 2025 by choosing one symbolic action that affirms your personal freedom, whether that is shifting a routine, taking a spontaneous outing, signing up for something that stretches you, or ending a commitment that drains your life force. Act on it once Mercury stations direct on the 29th.
