New Moon and Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio
Can you feel the buzz?
New Moon and Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio
Dear Reader,
If you’re feeling a bit trippy or like you’re walking on squishy, uncertain ground, it’s because you’re being surrounded with both lunar and water energy at the same time. New Moon in Scorpio is powerful lunar energy in a water sign. Officially arriving on November 19-20 (10:47pm PST / 1:47am EST), this New Moon energy lingers still today—possibly through the weekend.
What’s the best way to work with this energy?
First, let’s take a look at the nature of what you’re facing. New moons are always opportunities to start over or set intentions for the future. (Keep that optimistic view as you continue to read…)
New Moon in Scorpio adds another dimension—and a bit of darkness. Scorpio is the sign of death and rebirth, so it demands you face your dark side. But understand that confronting your shadows is the only way to reach the light. (See, the bright side reappears.)
What you might want to let go of at this time: Old grudges, obsessiveness, and/or jealousy.
Releasing energy that does not serve your highest good makes room for new opportunities and relationships to move into your life.
And what about Mercury Retrograde at the same time?
Aside from the usual challenges to communication and travel, Mercury Retrograde during this new moon further nudges the deep dive into self to recover hidden, buried emotions and secrets you’ve been keeping from yourself.
On the upside, Mercury helps reveal the path to personal truths and emotional clarity. You are encouraged to place your attention on pursuing dreams, ideas, and pursuits that support you spiritually as well as financially.
Guidance for traversing unknown territory
I am a firm believer that all answers lie within. However, sometimes accessing those answers requires help from an outside eye with a more objective view.
As we head into the final weeks of 2025, it’s natural to feel a desire to wrap things up and prepare for a new year. This is the perfect time to get a head start on making that happen.
An intuitive reading is a great place to start if you feel you have a handle on things but could use support. A Breakthrough session helps clear blocks you just can’t seem to get around on your own.
If you really don’t know where to begin, schedule a free Discovery session and I’ll help you sort it out.
As always, I hope this message supports you on your journey. Until next time…
My best, Shelley
