New Moon in Scorpio + Mercury Cazimi

A Deep Reset, a Truth Reveal, and a Mental Rebirth...Woah baby!

On November 20, 2025, we step into one of the deepest energetic gateways of the year. A New Moon deep in Scorpio energy arrives only minutes after a powerful Mercury cazimi, creating a rare combination of emotional rebirth, mental clarity, and psychic insight. I've already discussed the November energy overall that this whole month involves rebirth but let's look deeper into these specific events.

This blend of energies is driving us into a place of stillness, darkness (in a good way) and making us pause so that we can see IN that dark and pull out the truths that we need to grow. So do not fear the darkness, it's truly one of the best places to expand. Scorpio doesn’t care about surface-level answers. information or ideas. Mercury cazimi doesn’t tolerate confusion. These two energies together are opening an energetic doorway into the parts of ourselves we don’t always slow down long enough to meet.

This is a day to listen, to be honest. It's a day to begin again from a place that feels real.

What Is a Mercury Cazimi?

A cazimi happens when a planet sits in the heart of the Sun. For Mercury, that means our communication planet is purified and illuminated by the solar rays. It’s a reboot. A truth-telling and mental clarity zap of energy.

During a Mercury cazimi:

Thoughts sharpen and become more clear
Insights (or what I like to call 'downloads') land fast
Messages tend to reveal themselves quicker
Conversations shift in the exact direct path they need to go
Creative ideas come in super strong
Your intuition becomes noticeably charged

There are two kinds of Mercury cazimis:

1. Retrograde Cazimi

Mercury sits between Earth and the Sun.
Themes feel personal, emotional, intimate, and very close to home.
You see the real information that lays deep beneath anything surface level.

2. Direct Cazimi

Mercury is on the far side of the Sun.
Themes feel bigger, broader, more collective.
You get the “big picture” download.

This November’s cazimi is *retrograde, which makes it deeply internal, intuitive, real and raw in experience, in the best way.

*Retrograde: When a planet appears to move in a reverse direction of its natural orbital movement.

Mercury Cazimi in Scorpio

Theme: "Oh I'm sorry, what's a filter?"🤣

This cazimi lands at 28° Scorpio, one of the most psychologically rich and transformative areas in the zodiac.

Scorpio energy is:

investigative
honest
uncompromising
emotional
intuitive
shadow-aware

When Mercury meets the Sun here, truths have a great potential to rise from the underworld of your subconscious. You may see patterns you’ve ignored. You may hear messages your intuition has been smacking you with for months. You get clarity on what needs to change and exactly why it needs to change.

This isn’t an energy for sugarcoating, so let’s just be honest about that now because Scorpio does not do fluff. It brings the truth straight to the surface and expects you to face it without waiting for comfort or validation. The gift in this energy is the magick it stirs up inside you, the inner power that rises when you stop avoiding yourself, the growth that happens when you finally see things clearly, and the deep understanding that clicks into place when you stop running from your own intuition. In the middle of all that intensity, you realize that you are fully capable of giving yourself what you need and that this is where real alignment happens as you step back into your most intentional and purposeful path.

It’s a frequency that asks two very important questions:
What have I been avoiding? And what’s my next step once I stop avoiding it?

As an intuitive, the visual I receive when tuning into the energy of this cazimi, is bright rays of light shooting from our auras in rainbows of color. We are charged incredibly with the ability to reveal for ourselves, exactly what we need to.

New Moon in Scorpio: A Soul-Level Reset

The New Moon arrives just minutes after the cazimi, sprinkling in emotional rebirth with a mental reset. Scorpio New Moons always carry themes of:

releasing
regenerating
ending cycles
uncovering/revealing deeper truth and understanding
letting an old version of you die so a new one can rise up

This one is especially powerful for anyone with personal placements in the late degrees of the fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius). But the collective feels this one too, because it sits on the edge of major change.

Scorpio teaches us:

You cannot begin again without ending something first.
You cannot rise without first descending.
You cannot transform without honesty.

This lunation highlights the emotions, patterns, and internal attachments that you’ve outgrown. It encourages you to consciously choose to release, rather than waiting for the universe to pry your sweaty grasp open for you.

Let's Do the Planetary Math : Overall Energy

⭐New Moon opposite Uranus

Breakthroughs, sudden clarity, emotional awakening.
This can bring surprises, disruptions, or quick pivots but all with the intention of realignment.
You may feel a strong pull toward freedom and authenticity.

⭐New Moon conjunct Mercury (retrograde)

The mind and emotions are fused.
You understand your own psychology more clearly.
Shadow patterns become visible and move to the forefront instead of running in the background.

⭐New Moon widely conjunct Venus

Relationships, finances, emotional values, and personal boundaries get recalibrated.
You become clearer about what you truly want vs what you’ve been settling for.

⭐Pluto sextile the New Moon, trine Uranus

Pluto (represents transformation), where it brings lots of depth, healing and renewed self.
Uranus brings awakening and innovation. Together, they create a “transform + move forward” moment and offer up a huge dose of self-empowerment. This is gentle but very powerful evolution.

*Sextile is when two planets are 60° apart and offer a calmer more cooperative energy.
*Trine is when two planets are 120° apart and have a totally harmonious energy.

⭐Mars square the Lunar Nodes

Mars (planet of action) Square the Nodes: A Reset in How You Use Your Energy

Mars square the Nodes puts your instinct, drive, and reactions under a spotlight. Mars shows how you act, assert yourself, and pursue what you want. When it squares the Nodes, you’re pushed to examine the habits that sit beneath your impulses. Some of these patterns are outdated. Some belong to old versions of you. This transit helps you see them clearly so you can choose a different way forward.

You may find yourself asking:

• How do I respond when I feel challenged?

• Which battles are worth my energy?

• Am I acting from intention or from old wounds, pain or fear?

Mars square the Nodes gives you a chance to pause before reacting, to notice where your fire is coming from, and to redirect it with purpose. It is not about suppressing your passion. It is about using your strength in a way that aligns with who you are becoming.

In simple terms, this transit marks a turning point. It encourages you to refine how you act, why you act, and what you are fighting for, so your energy moves you forward instead of pulling you back.

*Square is when planers or nodes form a 90 angle. This aspect represents conflict, difficulty or power struggles.

*Lunar Nodes: North Node = growth, purpose, future | South Node = patterns, past, comfort

How to Work With This Energy

Here are grounded, practical ways to make the most of both the New Moon and the cazimi.

Write everything down.

This includes insights as they may come fast under Mercury cazimi. Capture them. Use your Notes app, voice memos, or your favorite journal.

Try automatic writing.

This is a practice where you literally put pen to paper and allow your subconscious to write words, scribbles or whatever. There is a message in our script. Don't think just write. Don’t censor yourself either. Let your subconscious speak to you and really listen. This is especially potent under Scorpio energy.

Have the conversation.

If something needs to be said, this window offers clarity and courage. Whether the conversation is with yourself or someone in your circle. This is a great time to do so.

Pull tarot or oracle cards.

Scorpio + Mercury opens a direct line to intuition. Tarot, oracle, pendulums or other divination tools are fantastic to use and aide you in receiving messages from your higher self and your guidance team.

Set intentions.

Focus on......

emotional healing
boundaries
self-trust
releasing outdated patterns
choosing healthier attachments

Ask yourself the real questions and journal:

Reflection Prompts...

What am I ready to release so I can begin again?
What patterns or attachments do I know I’ve outgrown?
What truth have I been resisting?
What part of myself needs rebirth right now?
What does emotional power look like for me?

You can work with these prompts inside Notion or any journal you love.

A New Moon is always a beginning.
A Mercury cazimi is always a mental reset.

But when they happen in Scorpio, they become a powerful reset on the soul-level.
You have an invitation to meet yourself at the deepest levels in the most fearless ways, write a new chapter with awareness, and step into the next version of yourself with intention.

It helps you organize your reflections, understand where the New Moon is landing in your houses, and track your growth in real time.
