Scorpio New Moon

Chart from Astro-Seek

Nov 20, 2025

Here is the current energy to be conscious of during this New Moon cycle. They include themes in relationship with Benjamin Franklin, water skiing, transcending limitations, attachments, mature intimacy and more. Here's the deep dive, and the high rise.

Benjamin Franklin, a founding father of the United States was also an inventor. There is a famous story of him flying a kite with a key in a thunderstorm for an experiment with electricity. His experiment used a kite to capture electricity from the sky in an intense storm. His experiment attracted, captured and contained electricity while also proving lightning as electricity. This is the theme of science, discovery and invention. Learning through experimenting. It's doing what's never been done. It's being curious and thinking outside the box and doing things in new ways. His experiment led to the invention of the Lightning Rod. 

Try try again. I don’t know how long it took Mr. Franklin to be successful with his experiment, but it likely took many tries. With science experiments, you do them over and over, and sometimes you need to redo things, make new changes and adjustments, or you fail at first, so you keep trying with tenacity and determination through trial and error. 

From History Extra .com

Lightning is shocking, surprising, a jolt, an excitement. An awakening, a sudden enlightenment, an “a-ha” moment in our brain or consciousness that can get you out of a fixed groove.  A discovery.  A key is a symbol of unlocking (or locking) as well as something that opens doors, opens portals towards new discoveries and reveals hidden concealed mysteries. A storm, an unstable energy happening in the sky, think of the Tarot card "The Tower," an intense scary moment of shock that changes everything.

In reacting to a kite's tension, pull, and give when you’re flying one, you need to use your own power to react, shift, pivot and turn to keep the kite flying at its best, and you do this intuitively as you detect and feel the kite’s movements in the sky, working with this ‘other” power, as you watch it in the distance. As the wind changes direction suddenly, so do you. It’s both challenging and fun to fly a kite! You may feel as when observing that kite that it is separate from you, but flying the kite requires both person and kite, line, connection and awareness. All working as one.

Reflect on past experiences to upgrade your current flight and learn from the past. Make adjustments. 

Water Skiing

In fact this might be, with this New Moon Energy in Scorpio, that instead of a kite it can also be that of like a water skier and the boat screaming forward going around and round on a lake and the skier is being pulled on the water with it. The water skier holds on and turns and moves. In this action you HAVE TO hold on. When you let go, you sink! It's scary, dangerous, fast and exhilarating, yet it’s both fun and challenging, it's entertainment. You go with this particular pull and flow forward in a powerful way. Sometimes we have to hold on, go through something a bit scary and see things through.In the process we learn as we go and make adjustments along the way. We learn what doesn’t work from past actions, we improve as we go. We gain confidence through experience. Although as humans we can remember and recall our past, life keeps right on moving. What’s worth holding onto? What's worth holding onto to see things through?

Personal, private

This energy can be dealing with more privately personal issues that you don't share with many people, if at all. This is more of a private, personal  vibe. Perhaps you choose to guard how you really feel and your emotions. You might just feel like being by yourself for a bit, stay inside at home or wanting the time to do so.

Nurturing your power within, protecting it. Things can occur that trigger you emotionally in order for you to gain a higher empowered perspective, to realize your self-respect and self-worth more. Turn negatives into positives.

Limitations

Energy in this cycle helps us notice and transcending limitations

We may feel as if some of our limitations come from outside of us from teachers, parents, our upbringing, our past, our family, or beliefs that someone told us about. Or maybe we were put down or told not to do something, or be a certain way. 

These limitations come from outside of ourselves and then they stay with us in our mind and we keep them. Many of our limitations are mental and self contained. It is only ourselves, in many instances, that keep us from moving beyond them. What we say, and believe, and tell ourselves in our mental talk has an effect on us. When you say "you can't," in your mind, or out loud, you believe that.

No resistance

You might opt for laziness and remain within your limitations. Overcoming limitations takes some effort and self discipline. The stagnant water of Scorpio here might not want to be bothered. Something needs make a splash of a disruption, or inspiration, for a change to begin sometimes.

Addiction is easy, it keeps you in a routine pattern, it doesn’t require the use of will power. Self-indulgence is easy. Not facing emotional pain is easy. Dealing with and facing how you feel can be hard. Feeling at your limits and staying present and ok with what you're going through can be hard. Maturity can be hard. Being a parent is hard. Life can be hard. Escaping is easy. 

This energy asks us to rise above with consciousness to understand the energy of power, energy leaks, power suckers. What sort of things, ideas, people, beliefs have a certain power over you? Recognize your own power. Why do you seek power from outside you in certain things or people? Use trust, presence, faith, communicating, self-discipline, friends and community help in such matters. When we want to gain muscle we feel pain from exercise, we use the resistance of a weighted dumbbell to get stronger.

Determination and choice

Grasp into higher expressions of Scorpio in this cycle. Determination, tenacity, and rising essence here. Value your own inner power. Your power and attention is your choice and is something you do have control of. How you respond to things is something you can choose consciously. Things trigger a reaction from you? Why? There is your investigative hit of a clue to what needs light, love, and acceptance in some capacity.

Attachments

Initiate to release the grip on certain attachments. 

We are attached to all sorts of things, people, thoughts, beliefs and ways of doing things. Give attention to release some of what's affected you from your past relationships, the energy you give to it and the emotion that lingers. Giving attention to healing time of ties from the past. Give attention to releasing certain attachments to aspects having to do with family, or your lineage that you've held on to, that limit you personally. Old beliefs in regarding such things or what you've grown up with that you thought was truth. Or that a certain limitation of the past, or your family has dictated who or how you are supposed be, act and live. 

Past wounds of a parent, family, society or culture can be limitations by way of a hand-me-down over generations. Some of these things might be limiting you and your growth. You can heal, sooth and release attachment to something consciously, or else the Universe has its ways to do so, and this is when it becomes a shock, a devastation, a sadness of a loss, or being felt as a victim, or felt as if being made to do things differently. The initiation of change happens as a necessary beginning of a transformation.

Even things, family, people, partners, pets that we love and have grown attached to can be brought to the surface the need, or relationship of attachment themes in some felt way. 

Mature intimacy

Initiate to use curiosity, openmindedness and acceptance with your intimate conversations with others or your partners and use those same traits when you are investigating your own inner self of how you are, and who and what you, do in your own privacy, your unconscious behaviors or within your own inner mind and self-talk.

An invitation for emotional maturity. It's about being curious towards others in times that are maybe felt difficult emotionally, and with uncomfortable conversations. Past traumas can come to the surface in a way that can bring you closer to another when opening up. Dig deeper into intimate matters with an open heart, with another. 

Travel for depth

A trip taken by oneself or with a partner connects you in powerful ways. Solo trips or excursions are empowering and enhance the inner conversations sparked from outer wonder. We choose were we want to go by desire. We sense, feel, and think as we explore. We are intimate with ourselves.

Traveling with another has the power to deepen a bond. Conversation, personal unveiling and opening, sharing, trusting and discovering each other happens intimately on a trip. Or something happens unexpectedly whether it be tragic, or immensely wondrous and awakening on the journey, that bonds you, or that you make decisions together on such matters, or with things you want to do together, or when you have to pivot and change plans, which is all part of an adventure.

Take a Journey with a book. Use all kinds of media to dig deeper and bring light into your inner self. What is it about yourself that you're curious about or want to learn?

We take a Journey with another when we go to therapy. Someone who is educated in a certain field is our guide. We have an intimate conversation. We dig deeper into things. An Astrologer too is a good partner as a revealer, as a flashlight, as a guide inside places within us that don't get much light.

Be open to being flexible, with patience and perserverance in your travels, there are always options. Be conscious of nervous worry. What are you in control over and what can't you control?

Finding the Truth is also another Journey we take when we follow the clues and signs that lead us somewhere.

Finances & Resources

Money issues are part of this energy dynamic as well that come all of the sudden or felt as a shock, disruption or loss. Economic and financial insecurities that cause emotional waves may be felt more intently or brought to the forefront. Things like an unpredictable moment that begins a time when you might need to borrow money or rely on someone else or their money. In a positive sense may be something comes up financially that comes up all of the sudden to support you or some comes along and has got your back in some pressing matter. Things that have to do with our resources or natural resources that come from the Earth that we use can be affected as well in ways that are more prominent.

A change of nourishment.

Sometimes we need to move where a plant has been in our home when we notice it's not doing so well. We might even just have to rotate the pot a bit for more sunlight, or maybe we have to give more attention in watering it at new intervals. First we have to care enough to want to do something about this plant. We need to look at it and assess and investigate a little and then make adjustments for its growth. It's no different when tending to ourselves, or when tending to a partner or another. Be aware of what you feed yourself through the senses. We see, hear, taste and smell all sorts of things throughout a day, sometimes not by conscious choice. Are those things nourishing you or taking away from you?

Education

Interestingly enough, our man Ben Franklin also invented the bifocal glasses. Glasses connect with reading, learning, intellectualism, knowledge, seeing clearly, seeing different perspectives. Transcend personal limitations through transformation by use of education.

This energy is upgrading through merging with information and learning. Experimenting, discovering, education, through reading about things that you are interested in and passionate about that can raise your value and worth when you learn new things and improve upon yourself.

Re-read things, re-learn or go back to something from the past that you feel is now due for you to bring more attention to. Learn from other people's experiences, successes and transformations. Read a biography or go watch a movie on someone who inspires you or that you can learn from. Observe and absorb the lessons and the information. 

Passionate drive

You may be tremendously, passionately, emotionally, moved by someone, really felt deeply in an all of the sudden way and it can cause you to respond somehow. You may also tap into the energy of a passionate drive where you can use the inner power of positive obsession and tenacity to do the things you want to do, make, create or be. Somebody in your life or someone new and exciting may be an inspiration, a stimulation and a spark for such things as well. Sexual energy can also be transmuted, like fuel it can be something that passionately inspires and drives you. 

Can you be obsessed in a healthy way with your own personal changes as life moves forward, transforming yourself, raising the bar for yourself in this grand experiment of Life?

Have a good Journey,
