New moon in Scorpio 2025: what it is about

According to Vronsky, the Moon in Scorpio gives a passionate tone to everything that is planned and conceived. Activities tend to be thorough, and people may feel more active, critical, and sensitive to slights. Strong momentary emotions can arise, along with a readiness for conflict, but willpower helps to quickly move out of crisis states. Sexual desire may be heightened, though Vronsky suggests limiting intimate contacts on such days, as they are considered unfavorable for love and close meetings. Suspicion and distrust can increase, so it is not a good time to clarify relationships — the reaction to words and actions is hard to predict. Interest in the mysterious and forbidden may also grow.

Robert Hand notes that the transiting Moon is very fast, so its effects are usually brief — a couple of hours when it aspects a planet, a couple of days when it moves through a house. However, major phase changes like a new Moon can be felt for one to four weeks, especially if they connect with a natal planet.

The aspects and the sky on the day

At the new Moon, the Sun and Moon are closely joined by Mercury, also in Scorpio. Uranus is in opposition to the new Moon from Taurus, while Neptune and Saturn in Pisces, and Jupiter in Cancer, all form trines to the new Moon. Pluto in Aquarius makes a sextile. Mercury is retrograde (from November 9 to November 29, with a shadow period from October 21 to December 17). Other retrograde planets: Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Pisces, Uranus in Taurus, Neptune in Pisces, and Pluto in Aquarius.

What it may mean inside

This new Moon invites a quiet look at what lies beneath the surface — feelings that are intense, hidden, or tied to trust and power. ning, and a gentle expansion. The conjunction with Mercury, retrograde, points to inner reflection rather than outward speech. It may be a time to ask: What do I really want to commit to? Where do I need to let go of control? The Scorpio theme is about depth and transformation — not through force, but through honest attention to what feels vital.

How to live the new moon in November 2025

• • Take time for quiet: the retrograde Mercury suggests reviewing plans rather than starting new ones. Write down thoughts, but avoid making final decisions until after November 29.
• • Notice strong emotions without acting on them immediately. According to Vronsky, willpower helps to move through crisis states — pause before reacting.
• • In relationships, avoid confrontations or jealousy. If tension arises, it helps to slow down and wait for a calmer moment.
• • With Uranus opposite, be open to unexpected insights about freedom and boundaries. A small change in routine can bring clarity.
• • This is a good time to reflect on what gives you a sense of life and vitality, as Alfried Längle describes: the inner experience of "I like to live" — a feeling that comes from the body and from positive relationships. Ask yourself what makes you feel alive right now.
