🦂  What Can You Expect from the New Moon in Scorpio 2025?

New moons represent the chance for a new cycle or chapter to begin. Since this is the start of something new, a new moon is an opportune time for manifesting and setting intentions. Whatever intentions, manifestations, and wishes you cast on the new moon may come to fruition over the next six months. Since this new moon will represent the start of a six-month cycle, you should think positively of what’s to come your way.

Scorpio’s energy will linger over the following six months, alluding to what may develop or come into your life. You might be preoccupied with your financial status throughout the lunar cycle. Someone or something might play a part in your financial power. You may need to share financial power and control, which can be a daunting task. Financial entanglement could also lead to emotional intimacy or emotional entanglement. Either way, you might feel too far in to back out of an arrangement. Aside from money and intimacy, Scorpio’s energy could suggest that your overall sense of power and control may change. A monumental death and rebirth cycle will take place, so you may as well embrace it. You will come out of the new moon in Scorpio transformed.

🧠  Overall Theme: What should you invest in? The new moon in Scorpio suggests that you may want to put your stock into something or someone. Choosing your next development won’t be easy, since you’ll have to consider the potential debts and assets. Take your time getting into bed with someone or furthering an opportunity over the next six months. Ideally, you shouldn’t be taking on too much baggage for your investments to be prosperous, empowering, and stable.

💫   What Else Is Happening in the Sky? Your Cosmic Forecast for the New Moon in Scorpio 2025

As the new moon rises, it will aspect several planets: Mercury retrograde in Scorpio, Saturn retrograde in Pisces, Uranus retrograde in Taurus, and Neptune retrograde in Pisces. Since there are so many plants involved in this lunation, each one will play a part in the forthcoming lunar cycle. Here’s what you can expect:

You may want to be mindful of your thoughts and words this new moon. Whatever you say or think could manifest during the six-month lunar cycle, so be wary. Your words have the power to change everything. If anything, you may want to consider rewriting or reframing a narrative. Shift away from negative self-talk to positive self-talk. Doing so will help you restructure a greater part of your life. You could feel more self-assured, which will help you tap into your inner authority instead of letting others rule the roost. Don’t be afraid to assume your rightful responsibilities. It might change your life for the better, helping you clarify where you want to go and what you wish to accomplish. You may have to take the road less traveled, but at least it will feel more authentic to you.

🌑  Tips & Tricks to Create Your New Moon in Scorpio Ritual

The new moon in Scorpio can be honored through various practices, rituals, and offerings. In particular, you may want to consider doing rituals aligned with Scorpio. Align your lunar magick with Scorpio’s correspondences, symbols, and more to amplify your new moon ritual.

Since Scorpio is a fixed water sign, this would be the perfect new moon to incorporate the water element into your lunar ritual. Fixed water can quite literally translate to ice, since this is the most stable form of water. You could use an ice cube as part of your lunar ritual, or you may even feel called to use snow if that’s available to you. Another way to represent fixed water is holding water steady in a vessel. So, you could honor this element by placing water in a cup on your altar or drawing a bath. Water can also be represented by its alchemical symbol, 🜄, in your spellwork.

Scorpio’s energy can also be invoked through tarot cards, animals, and deities. Scorpio’s major arcana tarot cards are a little intense. This zodiac sign is associated with Death, which may be useful if you want to call in a fresh start or a do-over. You may feel drawn to The Tower and Judgement, since both cards resonate with Scorpio’s ruling planets, Mars and Pluto. The Tower could call in revelations and revolutions, whereas Judgement can help you surrender. Use these tarot cards wisely, because they’ll pack a punch in your lunar ritual! Aside from this, Scorpios can be represented by the following animals: scorpions, gray lizards, eagles, and phoenixes. Some deities may even come through during the lunar portal. You may feel drawn to working with the following: Hades/Pluto, Hel, Nyx, Persephone, Skorpius, Kali, Ares/Mars, Athena, Artemis, Nótt, Serket, and The Morrígan. 

Additionally, you may feel called to work with herbs, crystals, and colors associated with Scorpio. Basil, nettle, and catnip work best for your new moon in Scorpio spells. You can dress black and deeply red candles with these herbs. In particular, you may feel called to do a reversal spell to set the tone for this lunar cycle. Amplify your spells with crystals aligned with Scorpio’s energy. Black Tourmaline, Bloodstone, Garnet, and Labradorite would be perfect for this new moon!

♌  Leo: 4th House of Home, Family, & Roots

Be private about your personal life, Leo. The new moon in Scorpio cautions you to be secretive about your fourth house of home, family, and roots. Don’t be so willing to share what goes on at home or with family over the next six months. You never know what may be sensitive until it’s too late, so keeping your personal matters private is best. This may make more sense when the lunar cycle ends. 

♍  Virgo: 3rd House of Communication, Locality, & Siblings

Keep your research under wraps, Virgo. Keep quiet, because the new moon in Scorpio will sneak through your third house of communication, locality, and siblings.

Staying quiet is the best way to avoid evil eyes and outside influences. 

♎  Libra: 2nd House of Value, Security, & Wealth

The new moon in Scorpio asks you to consider what “safety” and "security" mean to you. How you answer will influence how you transform your abundance and means for comfort. Keep in mind that you have full control over what you do, meaning you can either enhance or take away from your overall sense of stability.

Time to reinvent yourself, Scorpio. The new moon in your sign awakens your first house of self, appearance, and identity. You’re ready for a deeply personal transformation, which will begin during this new moon.     The following six months could help you become the best version of yourself.

Go deeper than ever before, Sagittarius. Go within this new moon, as your twelfth house of subconsciousness, intuition, and mystery comes alive. Luna encourages you to face what swims beneath the surface over the next six months. You may come face-to-face with your fears and worries, but also your innermost hopes and wishes. Acknowledging what is subconsciously there will help you tap into more profound parts of yourself and your life.

♑  Capricorn: 11th House of Friendship, Networking, & Aspirations

Choose your friends wisely, Capricorn. Manifest a better support system when the new moon in Scorpio hits your eleventh house of friendship, networking, and aspirations. Your friendships and group dynamics will transform throughout the new lunar cycle. You might grow closer to some friends instead of others, or meet new people along the way. Regardless, be open-minded about meeting new people, who you could befriend, and what may come of your connection.

♒  Aquarius: 10th House of Success, Career, & Legacy

Give it your best shot, Aquarius. The new moon in Scorpio encourages you to set intentions around your tenth house of success, career, and legacy.
