✨ New Moon in Scorpio, 5 planets in Retrograde & Mercury Cazimi ✨
✨ This week we have the illuminating New Moon in Scorpio on November 20th, arriving just at the close of Scorpio season, enabling us to reveal powerful truths, arising from the depths of our inner realms. ✨
✨The Scorpio New Moon is the highest point of rebirth energy for the year. We can use the energy of this moment 'to rise up like the phoenix out of the ashes'. You can utilise the energy of this cosmic alignment and lunar cycle ahead to shine your true soul gifts into the world. This is a time of deep initiation, soul activation and new beginnings at this time of the Celtic New Year. Super Cosmic Astrological Alignments abound. This is a perfect time for letting go and cleansing away all that no longer serves you, like the phoenix rising from the ashes. This is a transformational cosmic lunar portal, and the energies are guiding you to deeply reflect upon how you can reveal more of your true authentic self. This is a time of death and rebirth; of emotional and habitual behaviour, which, if successfully achieved will create unconditional love for yourself and others.
Traditionally, the Scorpio New Moon is considered one of the most powerful for releasing, cleansing, and transforming our lives. This is because Scorpio is the sign that rules over death, rebirth, and spiritual transformation. At this time of the Scorpio New Moon, pay attention to which new insights, thoughts or feelings emerge for you. This may be a time of deep introspection, or you may feel the need to retreat and protect your energy from the outside world.
At the moment we have 5 planets in retrograde, as of late November 2025, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are in retrograde. Planetary retrogrades are periods where a planet appears to move backward in the sky from Earth's perspective, and in astrology this is a significant time period of inner reflection and insight.
We currently have Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune in Retrograde, offering us inner reflection around themes of communication, growth, and change. Having several planets in retrograde offers us a deep soul dive into any areas of your life that may be out of balance and alignment, offering you the chance to course correct any areas that are out of alignment, within your life and transmuting these areas into the most optimum energy flow. Mercury: influences communication, technology, and travel. Jupiter: influences, inner wisdom, growth, and expansion. Saturn: highlights themes around responsibility and structure. Uranus: offers us shifts in innovation and identity. Neptune: highlights intuition and shadow aspects.
The Sun and Moon met at 28° of Scorpio, and also Mercury retrograde joined them in an exact conjunction, at the same degree, at 28 degrees of Scorpio. This rare astrological alignment activates our inner realms on multiple levels; our spirit ~ Sun, our emotional centre ~ Moon, and our mind and perception ~ Mercury, meeting together at the same 28th degree.
New Moon in Scorpio & Mercury Cazimi, as the Sun and Mercury retrograde meet in Scorpio, this forms what is known as a Mercury Cazimi, a rare moment. When these two energies come together, expect realizations to arise, &/or the sudden inspiration to say what's been left unsaid. When Mercury is retrograde and joins the Sun, a brand-new Mercury cycle begins, similar to a New Moon resetting the lunar cycle. With the New Moon this week in 28 degrees Scorpio, both cycles reset at the same time. We stepped into a double reset, a New Moon and a new phase of Mercury.
The Scorpio New Moon in this astrological cosmic meeting with Mercury highlights honesty and insight. The ways in which we interpret and understand our experiences converge, helping us tune into Scorpio’s deep well of intuitive truth. This inward reflective guidance, directs us toward the real gems of inner work. The message of this Mercury Cazimi New Moon is powerful, ‘Trust Your Intuition’. By following your inner knowing and instinct, your deeper personal truth throughout this month and lunar cycle, everything will become clearer. It may not come as words, but as a feeling, a vibration that resonates with your core self.
This New Moon is in the zodiac sign of Scorpio, symbolised by the Scorpion, and the element of Water. The water sign of Scorpio represents the emotional depths. If we can dig deep and find our inner strength we can let go of unhealthy habits over the coming weeks, this will offer us more energy & vitality as we traverse through the change of seasons. A Scorpio New Moon is deeply transformative. The energies of Scorpio offer us the qualities of deep surrender, into the flow of our lives, being present in the moment, grounded within ourselves, and within our current physical reality, and can offer us the gift of deep soul connection, and the ability to face our own shadow.
This is a good time to bring a stronger loving vibration into your life, through self-love, self-nurture, and self-care. You can ask yourself; What is my souls calling? What am I deeply committed to? What is my true inner guidance? What inner guidance am I hiding from myself? What and who do I need to let go of at this time?
This cleansing Scorpio New Moon is transformative and offers us a chance to deeply change our energy vibration & habitual patterns. We can raise our energy frequency, by letting go of old habits, and we can set our-selves free of old emotional patterns, and ideas that no longer serve us. Feeling the freedom that this brings us, will enable us to seek our highest pathway. You can free your mental and emotional energy at this time from all unhealthy binds, to see your highest reality potential, and when you seek to overcome all obstacles in your way, you will achieve your dreams.
With the New Moon energies activated within the water sign of Scorpio; we are entering a lunar cycle of intuition and psychic expansion. This New Moon cycle is also a good time to be still and reflect upon your life. We can enter into a deep state of forgiveness; forgiveness of the past, forgiveness for ourselves, and forgiveness for others, so that we can free ourselves of any perceived limitations, and feelings of ‘lack of’ and move forward within our lives.
The lunar cycle ahead is a powerful opportunity to delve deep into your psyche and intuition, to assist your souls deeper healing. This New Moon cycle is all about gaining wisdom and insight, and taking a risk, to navigate completions and endings, with grace, ease, and humour. You can use grounding practices such as walking in nature, meditation or exercise, to help you embrace this lunar cycle of death & rebirth. Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes, the energies of this Scorpio New Moon will assist you to allow into your life the natural energetic cycles of death, rebirth and transformation. Reminding us of how time and time again, we rise from the ashes of our own transformation, reborn anew, to begin a new cycle in our lives.
The energy of this Scorpio New Moon is asking us to think about our life direction, and the path that we find ourselves on, enabling us to make the right decisions to move forward. Pay attention to new insights, thoughts or feelings that emerge for you. You can ask yourself: What does my life look like when I am living up to my fullest potential? What does it look like when I start living from a space of true authenticity? Who do I become?
This time really does feel like a time of visioning, clearing of our past, and setting our intentions towards a bright future. You can vision your life anew. This is a good time to be conscious of what we say, and to be aware that our words create our realities. While it may feel that there is too much going on right now. This New Moon is an immensely powerful cosmic portal, into fresh new beginnings. This past year has been tricky for most of us, with so many shifts, and unexpected twists and turns.
At this time, pay attention to which new insights, thoughts or feelings emerge for you, you may feel the need for a complete life ‘re-set’. This is a transformational cosmic lunar portal, the energies of this Scorpio New Moon will assist and guide you to deeply reflect upon how you can reveal more of your true authentic self. It is time for us all to step forward and shine our bright light into the world, which is needed at this time.
The message of this New Moon is ‘Trust Your Intuition & Inner Souls Calling’. There is much magical energy available to you now during this cosmic lunar portal and you can use this energy to create your dreams, and lay your future foundations, towards your life path. This time period, will move you into a different reality, placing you upon a new pathway, that perhaps you could not have thought possible only a few moons ago. Life is full of choices, and no matter what you choose, you can remember that it is all part of the experience that is life.
Everything is shifting and changing right now as the wheels of the universe turn and you are guided towards your highest souls calling and the pathway which will lead you forward into your bright and fulfilling future. The energy of this Scorpio New Moon is all about deeply surrendering, you cannot hold on to that which is in your past, the universe has brighter plans for you.
