New Moon in Scorpio

The New Moon in Scorpio arrives on Wednesday 11/19 like a deep inhale into the unseen, an invitation to step beneath the surface and meet the truth of who you are. 

Scorpio energy is intense, intuitive, and alchemical. It rules the undercurrents of emotion, the places we store what’s unspoken, and the powerful ability to transform from the inside out. This new moon asks us to enter the shadows not as a threat, but as a doorway to the higher self. 

Scorpio Energy

Scorpio is the sign of depth, rebirth, intimacy, and emotional truth. Scorpio energy is intense, intuitive, and deeply transformative. It heightens your ability to sense what’s happening beneath the surface and encourages emotional depth rather than avoidance. Under this influence, you may feel more connected to your intuition, more willing to explore what’s been unspoken, and more capable of releasing old patterns that no longer serve you. Scorpio’s power lies in its ability to transform through honesty, vulnerability, and courage, guiding you to face your inner landscape with clarity rather than fear.

During this new moon, allow yourself to dive inward with radical honesty, acknowledging what you’ve been avoiding or suppressing. This is a potent time to release emotional residue, stories, attachments, or wounds that keep you tethered to an outdated version of yourself. Instead of forcing change, Scorpio invites you to transform through acceptance. Meeting your shadow with compassion naturally shifts your inner world.

You may notice your intuition strengthening, so give space to your inner voice through meditation, journaling, or simply being present with your feelings. Dreams, symbols, and gut instincts may carry messages meant for you. As you set your intentions for this moon cycle, focus on what feels emotionally true rather than surface-level desires. Let your intentions be rooted in how you want to feel, who you want to become, and what you’re ready to release.

Above all, this new moon reminds you that every ending opens the door to a new beginning. Scorpio teaches the art of rebirth; inviting you to shed old layers, reclaim your power, and step forward aligned with your most authentic self.

This energy doesn’t stay on the surface, it strives for authenticity, vulnerability, and soul-level clarity.

How to Use This New Moon for Your Transformation

During this moon cycle, Scorpio encourages you to work with your inner landscape in a deeply intentional way. 

-Dive inward with honesty: Ask yourself: What am I avoiding? What wants to be seen?Scorpio supports radical self-honesty—not for punishment, but for freedom.

-Release emotional residue: This is a powerful time to let go of patterns, attachments, and narratives that no longer reflect who you’re becoming. Shadow work, energy clearing, and somatic release practices are especially potent. This is what pulls what you are searching for closer to you, when you make room for it.

-Transform through acceptance: Rather than forcing change, Scorpio invites you to sit with the parts of yourself you’ve hidden. When you witness them with compassion, they naturally begin to shift.

-Strengthen your intuition: Meditations, divination, and journaling can help you tap into Scorpio’s psychic waters. Pay attention to gut feelings, symbols, dreams, they’re speaking loudly this season.

-Set intentions that come from depth: Rather than focusing on surface goals, set intentions rooted in emotional truth:

• I want to feel…

• I’m ready to transform…

• I’m calling in experiences aligned with my highest self…

  
  

-Embrace the rebirth cycle: Scorpio teaches that every ending is a beginning. This new moon marks a fresh start, but one born from the wisdom of everything you’ve already lived through.

Overall, this New Moon in Scorpio is an invitation to turn inward, face your truths, and harness the magic of personal transformation. It’s a time to shed old skins, reclaim lost power, and step forward with clearer boundaries, deeper intuition, and a renewed sense of self. 

There are several other astrological factors that impact this moon cycle as well. There are 5 other planets in retrograde, putting a big emphasis on SLOWING DOWN. So while you are manifesting and pulling things to you right now, know that this is not a time to quickly do anything. We are moving along like snails. Take things moment by monet if you need to and rely on those deep intuitive connections you are building. 

New Moon Shadow work: 

• What am I avoiding right now? (Either task wise or emotionally)

• Is there a truth about myself I need to accept?

• What is an intention from my depths?

• How can I move closer to my goals and aspirations?

Water Ritual

If you are wanting to go deeper with this work, this is a water ritual I use during water moons or if I am wanting to emotionally connect with my desires. This Moon is in a water sign, and using water can enhance your manifestations and deepen that connection to your higher self. 

• Start with two cups of water, less than half way full each. 

• Take one cup and hold it to your heart center. This is the cup of now. This water represents the current. Our emotional flow and state of being. Close your eyes and think of your emotional wights, the blocks, the feelings that are in the present for you. 

  
  

• Set this cup down when you are down and place the other cup to your heart center. This is the cup of the future. This is the emotional flow of what you are working for. The peace, the tranquility, this water is what your looking for, working towards. 

  
  

• Take a cup in each hand, noticing the energetic difference in them. With your intentions, slowly start to pour the waters future into the waters of now, allowing them to mix, inviting the emotional flow, ease and energy of your higher self, your future self into the now. Dump the water black and forth as many times as you need to feel this energetic exchange, welcoming the flow of your higher being into the present.
