The Scorpio New Moon: Renewal from the Deep

16 - 22 NOVEMBER 2025

This week’s focus is the Scorpio New Moon, a powerful moment of emotional and energetic rebirth. Scorpio doesn’t just skim the surface; it dives into the depths, helping us face what’s been hiding in our inner world. This lunation carries a sacred invitation: to release what’s heavy,to transform what’s outdated and to reclaim our truth. 

It asks us to pause and feel what’s real, not the noise, not the pressure, but the quiet truth beneath it all. The Scorpio New Moon opens a portal of deep release and rebirth, guiding us to plant seeds for a more authentic version of ourselves. 

This is the week to surrender control, trust the process, and let something new begin to stir within. It’s not about instant results; it’s about energetic re-alignment. The pieces will land when they’re meant to.

You may feel emotional, raw, or reflective,  but that’s the medicine of this moon. It’s helping you shed what’s been clinging to your spirit so that by the time the Sun moves into Sagittarius later in the week, you’re ready to look forward again,  lighter, freer, clearer. 

As the Sun moves into Sagittarius on November 22, the mood begins to lift, yay! . After weeks of emotional excavation, we start to crave expansion, movement, and possibility. Sagittarius brings a breath of fresh air,  hope, laughter, and a desire to explore again. 

It’s the energy of saying:  “I’ve done the inner work,  now I want to live again.” 

Scorpio season peeled back the layers, Sagittarius season asks us to look up, to dream bigger, to believe again in the magic of what’s possible. It’s the moment where your faith returns, in life, in love, and in yourself. 

This shift reminds us that growth is cyclical. We go inward to heal, then outward to express. We descend to understand, then rise to share.

How It Feels

This week may feel like stepping out of a darkened room into sunlight, your eyes adjusting slowly, your senses waking up. There’s still emotion in the air, but it’s moving now, clearing, making space.

You may notice deep insights, old fears losing power, or the sense that something long-stuck is finally shifting. Expect emotional tides, intuitive downloads, and bursts of motivation by week’s end.

Scorpio shows you what’s real; Sagittarius reminds you that life is bigger than your pain. Both energies dance together this week, helping you ground your truth and lift your gaze toward what’s next.

How to Work With This Energy

• Rest before you rise. Honour your body as you integrate what’s shifted.

• Set powerful intentions at the New Moon. Choose transformation over control; release over resistance.

• Be patient with clarity. Mercury retrograde asks for reflection before action.

• Embrace play again. As Sagittarius Season begins, let curiosity lead — life doesn’t need to be heavy to be meaningful.

Astrology Highlights

• Nov 18 – Sun conjunct Black Moon Lilith: A reclaiming of feminine power and voice; trust your intuition, not perfection.

• Nov 19 – Mercury Retrograde re-enters Scorpio: Conversations from the past or emotions long buried may resurface. Meet them with softness.

• Nov 20 – New Moon in Scorpio: A soul-reset moment. Release control, set intentions for rebirth, and honour your emotional truth.

• Nov 22 – Sun enters Sagittarius: A shift from depth to expansion; clarity, inspiration, and faith return.

Journal Prompts

• Where am I resisting change because I want control?

• What truths are emerging that I can no longer ignore?

✨ Affirmation of the Week

"I release what has weighed me down. I rise open-hearted into what’s next."

The Scorpio New Moon is your inner reset, the space between exhale and inhale where everything is possible. It clears the field, so the Sagittarius Sun can fill it with light. 

This week, honour the part of you that’s tender from the work and the part that’s ready to dance again. Trust that you’re exactly where you need to be, mid-alchemy, mid-awakening, mid-becoming.

I love you,

Sarah
