Welcome in the New Moon in Scorpio on November 20, 2025

We can observe the phases of the moon with the naked eye, making them among the most fascinating astronomical behaviors. Astrology finds them to be deeply rich sources of thought and interpretation. Among the 9 phases – New, Waxing Crescent, 1st Quarter Half, Waxing Gibbous, Full, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter Half, Waning Crescent, and Balsamic – the New and Full Moons capture most of the attention. This article will look at the current New Moon in Scorpio. It includes a “creation activity” associated with the sign of this New Moon. The idea originates from Jan Spiller’s book: New Moon Astrology: The Secret of Astrological Timing to Make All Your Dreams Come True.

New Moon – Let’s Start Something!

The Scorpio New Moon will occur on November 20th at 28 degrees and 11 minutes. In my Eastern Standard Time zone, it will happen at 1:47 am.

It takes 29.5 days from one New Moon to the next, spending approximately 2 and ½ days in a sign. Just before the New Moon begins, the 3 days of the previous moon phase is the Balsamic Moon. That period is ideal for meditating, reflecting, and releasing; all in preparation for the New Moon.

The first 12 to 24 hours after the New Moon begins is the best time to initiate energy. We will explore each New Moon using Jan Spiller’s suggested actions to take advantage of this period of inspiration.

The energy of the New Moon perfectly suits embarking on a first date, exploring novel experiences, and visiting uncharted places. It’s an opportunity that unfolds each month, inviting you to synchronize your actions with the fresh beginnings. Keeping track of the New Moon allows you to deliberately engage in something new. Take the time to initiate a project aligning with the Moon’s unique energies as it travels through different signs.

New Moon in Scorpio

During the New Moon in Scorpio, intensity and transformation take center stage. This lunation encourages reflection on emotional depth, intimacy, and personal power. Consequently, it is an ideal time to reset old patterns and set intentions for profound personal and relational growth. Focus on cultivating trust, authenticity, and deep connection in all interactions. Additionally, prioritize emotional honesty and transformative insight to strengthen bonds. By aligning actions with inner truth and embracing change, this New Moon supports empowerment, renewal, and meaningful evolution.

This New Moon will occur at 28d11m of Scorpio, making its Sabian symbol 29 Scorpio. “An Indian squaw pleading to the chief for the lives of her children.” Marc Edmund Jones says, “This is a symbol of the stark sacrifices the self must make in the common interest and of the high responsibilities the group must accept for the welfare of each individual, as these factors together create a functioning society and enable man to control his everyday world. Here is emphasis on the give-and-take in human allegiances, and a call for a balancing of rights and wrongs as a result of direct experience with the problems of self-fulfillment.” The key word is: EFFECTIVENESS.

The Numbers of This New Moon

This New Moon happens on 11/20/2025, so the number is 13, which reduces to 4. The Scorpio New Moon, energized by the number 4, brings focus to emotional depth, transformation, and building solid foundations. This lunar cycle encourages creating lasting change through deliberate actions, careful reflection, and steady progress. Scorpio’s intense, introspective energy blends with 4’s practical influence, inspiring mindful organization and purposeful planning. During this time, relationships benefit from emotional honesty, routines support personal growth, and goals align with values and long-term empowerment.

Infused with the energy of 4, this Scorpio New Moon draws on The Emperor and Death from the tarot. It encourages establishing strong foundations (The Emperor/4) while embracing transformative endings and renewal (Death/13). Focus on releasing what no longer serves, creating structure, and aligning actions with long-term evolution. Through Scorpio’s depth and 4’s discipline, this lunation supports grounded transformation, resilience, and empowered growth.

The Scorpio New Moon occurs on the 20th, reducing to the number 2, which emphasizes balance, partnership, and intuitive awareness. Paired with Scorpio’s transformative energy, this lunar moment invites alignment with emotional depth and meaningful connection. The number 2 encourages cooperation, sensitivity, and harmony in relationships, while Scorpio brings insight, intensity, and personal empowerment. Use this New Moon to set intentions that cultivate trust, emotional honesty, and supportive bonds. Ultimately, focus on nurturing connections, honoring inner guidance, and building partnerships grounded in depth, balance, and shared purpose.

New Moon Wishing

I deeply appreciate the practical applications of astrology. And one gem is Jan Spiller’s book, “New Moon Astrology: The Secret of Astrological Timing to Make All Your Dreams Come True.” Spiller emphasizes that wishing is not mere idle desire but a conscious act of responsibility. To harness this energy, you must be aware of the New Moon’s timing in your time zone. Once you know it, write your wishes within 24 hours after it becomes new.

Once the New Moon’s energy is underway, it’s essential to take pen to paper. Though digital options abound, handwriting your wishes and intentions is integral to the energy ritual. Spiller advises crafting 3 to 7 wishes, depending on the New Moon and your life circumstances at the time. Aligning your statements with the New Moon’s sign when you write your intentions adds an extra layer of potency.

Wishes/Intentions

Sit down somewhere you can be comfortable, get your favorite pen, and write your wishes/intentions. Wording is very important, and Spiller suggests starting each sentence with, “I wish/want …”.

During this Scorpio New Moon, a powerful moment for transformation, consider the following intentions:

• I wish to embrace emotional honesty and release what no longer serves my growth.
• I wish to strengthen self-trust through courageous, deliberate choices that honor my inner power.
• I want to deepen connections through authentic communication, vulnerability, and compassionate presence.
• I wish to bring focus and intention to my life, creating structure that supports emotional and practical well-being.
• I want to cultivate a purposeful, empowered life by honoring my inner truth and practicing mindful, transformative action.

After jotting down your wishes, find a meaningful place to keep them and revisit them periodically. Placing them in a journal or a special box by your bedside is a wonderful choice. Remember that the choice of paper and the pen you use play a role in this process. Being deliberate in every detail is key.

Happy New Moon Wishing!
