Preparing for the Scorpio New Moon: Clearing the Path for Your Rebirth 🌑
Date: NOV. 17-19th 2025
Over the past few weeks, so many clients have come to me asking the same question:
“How will the New Moon land in my chart?”
It’s a powerful question — and the answer is always meaningful — but before we look at where the New Moon activates your houses, there’s something even more important:
✨ First clearing the path so the new beginning has room to arrive.
The Dark of the Moon, the three days leading up to the New Moon, is the most potent time for release work. The Moon disappears from the sky, inviting us inward, into stillness, surrender, and the quiet magic of letting go. During this window, you are not meant to push or manifest.
You are meant to empty — physically, emotionally, energetically — so the Scorpio New Moon can spark rebirth from clean soil.
This is the purpose of the Scorpio New Moon Preparation Guide — to help you make space for what’s ready to be reborn.
Dark of the Moon: The 3-Day Descent
Timeframe: November 17th–19th This is the period of:
cleansing
stillness
reflection
psychic decluttering
creative composting
Think of it as sweeping the altar of your life clean before making your next offering to the universe.
🕯️ Scorpio New Moon Preparation Steps
1. Clear Your Space
Wipe surfaces, reorganize your altar, refresh candles and offerings. Speak your intention as you clean:
“As I clear this space, I clear my mind.” “As I wipe this table, I wipe my mind.”
2. Cleanse Your Energy
Do an egg limpia, smoke cleanse, or selenite sweep to remove stagnant or heavy energy that Mercury Retrograde may be surfacing.
3. Reset Your Crystals
Use selenite — a bowl, plate, or wand — to cleanse and recharge all your stones.
Then gather your Scorpio Moon crystals: Obsidian, Smoky Quartz, Malachite, Black Tourmaline, Labradorite, Moonstone.
4. Prepare a Dark-Moon Bath Tea
Shower first to cleanse the physical layer. Then steep a sachet of salt, rose, mugwort, nettle, lemon balm, lavender, and a cleansing ally like Smoky Quartz inside the bag. Soak.
5. Make a Pot of Detox Tea
Brew rose, mugwort, nettle, lemon balm, peppermint, and dandelion root for purification and clarity.
Sip while journaling what you’re releasing.
6. Reflect With Mercury Retrograde
Use the retrograde in Scorpio as your oracle.
Ask yourself:
What emotion wants closure?
What truth have I been avoiding?
What story am I done repeating?
Let what rises guide your release.
🦂 The Scorpio New Moon Arrives
The Scorpio New Moon arrives on November 20th at 1:47 AM EST, opening a portal of deaths, endings, divorce exposing emotional truth, rebirth, and regeneration.
This lunation isn’t simply about new beginnings — it’s about honest beginnings (from a trine to Jupiter), ones that can only occur after the clearing, cleansing, and releasing of the Dark Moon phase.
When you enter the New Moon cleansed, grounded, and spacious, your intentions land more deeply and manifest more authentically.
If you’re ready to explore how this New Moon activates your chart — and the transformation it’s inviting you into — you can book a reading or dive into the guide.
✨
May this Scorpio New Moon reveal what provokes an ending…and illuminate what is ready to begin.
