Astro Iris New Moon in Scorpio ♏️ – November 20, 2025, 08:46 Bucharest time. Exact at 28°11′ Scorpio
This New Moon isn’t playing nice. It’s the kind that grabs you by the soul, looks you dead in the eye and says: “Let the dead parts fall off – now.” It forces us to find the courage to let everything stagnant, toxic or simply outdated inside us crumble, so that something truly worthy of us can finally take root.
The cosmic weather report (short & spicy):
• Conjunct Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio → nothing stays hidden. Every thought, word or secret you try to bury will sprout wings and fly straight back at you (sometimes with teeth).
• Part of the much-talked-about Grand Water Trine (Saturn Rx in Pisces + Neptune Rx in Pisces + Jupiter Retrograde in Cancer) → a massive emotional spa day… right after the exorcism.
• Tense opposition from Uranus Retrograde in Taurus → surprise plot twists around money, the body, and what you thought was “yours forever.”
• The background drumbeat: the approaching Mars–Pluto opposition that’s been making everyone a little extra… dramatic.
Translation: this New Moon will dig deep into the psychic basement, drag every skeleton into the living room, and only calm down once we’ve turned the whole mess into personal power. Until then? Expect intensity – with yourself, with others, with life itself.
Core question it’s screaming at all of us:
What has to die so something new can actually live?
Mercury Retrograde glued to this lunation is the ultimate snitch – old secrets, unfinished conversations, emotional or financial debts all demand to be dealt with. Try to manipulate or hide anything right now and the universe will serve it back to you on a silver platter… with a side of karma.
The gorgeous Grand Water Trine, on the other hand, hands us a life jacket: oceans of intuition, prophetic dreams, sudden waves of compassion, and soul-level connections that remind us we’re not doing this alone.
Uranus Retrograde in Taurus throws lightning bolts at anything still chained to the past – a relationship, a bank account, a body image, a comfort zone. Something may break suddenly, but only to set you free.
Sabian Symbol for 29° Scorpio (28°01′–29°00′)
“An Indian woman pleading with the chief for the lives of her children.”
This image hits hard.
It’s raw compassion, humility, fierce love, and vulnerability turned into unbreakable strength – all at once.
How easy is it for you to beg for something (or someone) you love from a person who holds power over you?
How easy is it to forgive when someone begs you?
Do we punish, or do we grant mercy?
The only real way out – for all of us – is forgiveness. And it has to start with the person in the mirror.
Pleading for your own “inner children” (the wounded, ashamed, innocent parts of you) and choosing to save them instead of executing them is the single bravest thing you can do right now. Vulnerability isn’t weakness any longer – it’s the new superpower.
The Scorpionic bosses speak:
• Pluto (modern ruler) at 1° Aquarius – the landlord of this New Moon – says: “The renovation is non-negotiable. Something has to be demolished completely to make room for the upgrade.” Luckily the aspects offer a creative, community-based, slightly futuristic escape hatch.
• Mars (traditional ruler) at 11° Sagittarius shouts: “You already have everything you need for the next adventure – stay curious, because life (and maybe even you) still has a few plot twists left.” On the other hand, Jupiter Retrograde in Cancer on the 8th house axis nudges us to transform the very core of our families, roots, homes, and the places that feel like “home.”
This New Moon wants everything. No half-measures, no “I’ll deal with it later.” It wants all of you – so it can give all of you back, healed.
I wish you the courage to let yourself “die” a little, exactly where it still hurts. When you do, you’ll rise with a kind of power that’s born from real love – the unbreakable kind.
So… what are you finally ready to let go of so you can actually live?
Whatever you decide (or finally admit) in the next few days will shape the next six months and reach its full bloom at the Scorpio Full Moon on May 1, 2026.
My personal nudge: forgive someone – especially yourself – during this window. Forgiveness is the ultimate power move. And the ultimate love move.
Where there is real love, there is literally everything.
And one last thing from me: love hard, love wide, love ridiculously. 🧡
