"The Sun in Scorpio invites us to become our own shamans, alchemists, and psychologists. This is the time of year when we travel to the innermost layers of our being, discovering forgotten pieces of our souls. It includes the new Moon in Scorpio, which draws us into the darkness of our psyche, where true transformation begins. This year's new Moon in Scorpio is especially potent, co-existing with several retrogrades that demand we look backward before we can move forward."
"As the Sun moves through Scorpio, it brings us the courage to face our entire selves-every shadow, every truth, every hidden aspect of who we are. This season asks us to be radically honest about our energy, our patterns, and our desires. Yes, the intensity can feel overwhelming at times, but the transformation waiting on the other side is worth every moment of discomfort."
"Eventually, our shadows catch up with us and we must confront them, one way or another. Scorpio season presents a powerful opportunity to choose to do shadow work before these hidden energies create chaos. In so doing, we free ourselves to build our intentions on a sturdy foundation. We become the phoenix rising from the ashes of the fire we started with our own two hands."
The new Moon in Scorpio on November 19, 2025 at 10:47 pm PT initiates a potent cycle for deep psychological and spiritual work. Ruled by Pluto and Mars, Scorpio urges direct confrontation with hidden fears, patterns, and desires, favoring depth over surface-level coping. Multiple retrogrades amplify the need to review the past before moving forward. Shadow work during the period demands radical honesty and courage, exposing buried material for examination and choice. Engaging these energies can prevent chaos, strengthen intentions, and enable rebirth, while avoiding the work results in repetitive cycles driven by unexamined shadows.
