Scorpio New Moon & New Mercury: A Rare Alignment for Revelation & Deep Transformation
The Scorpio New Moon [28˚11’ SCORPIO | November 19 @ 10:47pm PT] arrives like a deep tide—slow, powerful, and soul-level. With emotions running high and intuition at full volume, this lunation marks one of the most potent energetic portals of the entire year.
This isn't just a New Moon. It’s also the beginning of a New Mercury Cycle, unfolding inside a rare and electrically charged alignment. We have the Sun, Moon, and Mercury meeting in Scorpio—all configured to the outer planets that have been reshaping the tectonic plates of our world throughout 2025 (Neptune, Pluto & Uranus).
This is the kind of astrology that’s hard to miss. The kind that you really feel and that trully changes things.
Why This Scorpio New Moon Is So Powerful
When the Sun, Moon, and Mercury unite in Scorpio—a sign known for depth, shadow work, truth-telling, and alchemy—we get a cosmic reset of the mind, heart, and emotional body all at once. Add to that:
A Mercury Cazimi (the mind illuminated)
An opposition to Uranus (breakthroughs, shocks, awakenings)
A Grand Water Trine with Saturn-Neptune & Jupiter (spiritual grounding + soul expansion)
…and we enter a one of a kind window of transformation.
This New Moon invites you to:
Dream bigger than your current circumstances
Scorpio gives you access to what’s buried under the surface—your real motivations, desires, and longings.
Receive clear, soul-aligned messages
Mercury cazimi opens the channel. Inner truth gets loud.
Transmute patterns, stories, or identities you’ve outgrown
This is alchemy: the turning of shadow into wisdom.
See your life through a surprising new lens
Thank Uranus for the plot twists, breakthroughs, and “sudden clarity.”
Instead of trying to control this wave, let it move through you. Let it rearrange you. Let it show you what’s actually true.
Grounding practices help—long baths, journaling by candlelight, slow walks near water, gentle movement, or simply letting yourself cry and dissolve what’s ready to go.
Ceremony Suggestions: Aligning with the Rare Sun–Moon–Mercury Portal
If the Sun is visible for you (it’s still overcast here), step outside and softly gaze toward it. Even if it’s hidden, the alignment holds. In this moment, you’re standing inside a rare configuration:
Moon
Mercury
Sun
Uranus directly behind you
A literal and symbolic axis of awakening.
From here, choose whatever resonates:
meditate and let the energy move through you
journal what’s rising inside
ask a question you’ve been carrying
restate your wish or intention for this cycle
make a physical or symbolic offering
open yourself to receiving a message
Let this be intuitive. Your body will know what to do. Light a candle as you note down any reflections and intentions…
Key Moon Phases of This Cycle
These dates help you work with the unfolding of this New Moon’s story.
🌗 First Quarter Moon — November 27 @ 10:58pm PT
6°17’ Pisces
The Moon in Pisces pushes the story forward—but softly. This is your moment for small, aligned action based on intuition, not logic. You may not see the whole path yet. You don’t need to.
Listen for whispers: synchronicities, dreams, emotional cues. They reveal the next step.
🌕 Full Moon — December 4 @ 3:24pm PT
13°03’ Gemini | Square the Nodes
A crossroads moment. Full karmic illumination.
What was hidden becomes visible. A conversation, realization, or truth may shift everything. Venus and Mars in Sagittarius offer wisdom and courage on either side.
Expect revelations that point you toward your soul path.
🌘 Closing Quarter Moon — December 11 @ 12:51pm PT
20°04’ Virgo | Opposite Saturn | Near the South Node | Sextile Jupiter
Refinement. Release. Integration.
Something needs to be simplified, grounded, or completed. Saturn brings maturity and clarity; Jupiter brings grace. This is the moment to adjust course, clean up loose ends, and prepare for the next beginning.
About This Mercury Retrograde: A New Era Begins
This is not your usual Mercury retrograde. From November 9–29, Mercury moves through a deep Scorpio cleanse and a powerful rebirth at the cazimi. It also marks a shift into water-based Mercury cycles, emphasizing emotional wisdom, intuition, and deeper self-awareness.
With Uranus and Pluto both involved, this retrograde becomes a turning point:
Uranus shakes loose the old patterns.
Pluto transforms them at the root.
Scorpio gives you access to your shadow, your truth, and your power.
This cycle begins in Scorpio and completes in Aquarius, meaning:
Your Scorpio intentions will come alive through Aquarian initiation.
The message? Fix yourself to fix the world — but don’t do it alone. Community is part of the transformation.
