Scorpio New Moon Manifestation Rituals 2025: Transform Pain into Power

The Alchemy of the Scorpio New Moon

On November 20, 2025, at 28 degrees Scorpio, a profound celestial event occurs—the Scorpio New Moon. This is not just any new moon; it's a cosmic invitation to dive deep into your emotional depths and emerge transformed. Ruled by Pluto, the planet of death and rebirth, this lunation plants seeds for profound personal renewal, emotional depth, and intuitive power.

Scorpio energy doesn't shy away from darkness. It understands that true transformation requires traveling to shadow realms and facing what we normally suppress. As one astrologer notes, "It's always darkest before the dawn, and new moons are all about new beginnings—so this moon is very much giving deep transformation". This New Moon asks you to discover your deepest truths and use them as fuel for rebirth.

The spiritual significance of this moon is particularly potent. Occurring near thin-veil seasons when the boundary between worlds is most permeable, this lunation heightens intuition and psychic sensibilities. It's an ideal time for connecting with your higher self, ancestors, and the numinous magic around you.

Your Guide to Scorpio New Moon Manifestation

Candle Magic for Intentional Transformation

Candle magic is perfectly suited to the Scorpio New Moon's intense energy. You'll need a candle (preferably in a color that corresponds to your intention) and a clear focus.

Begin by holding the candle and thinking of your intention, feeling into it deeply. As you light the candle, visualize your intention being released into the universe. Every time you light the candle thereafter up until the full moon, reinforce this intention.

Watch how the candle burns as an indication of how your intention is progressing. "If you get a lot of black residue, that could be blocks or challenges you need to move through. If you have a really clean burn, that can mean this intention is ready to come through, and there's not that many challenges ahead," explains astrology expert Imani Quinn.

Since Scorpio is a water sign, place a bowl of water next to your candle to help alchemize the energy and emotions around your intention. You might also opt to light an ancestral candle, asking your ancestors for help with your manifestations.

The Ritual Bath: Emotional Alchemy

Water is Scorpio's element, making a ritual bath particularly powerful during this lunation. Your bathtub becomes a sacred space for meditation and emotional alchemy.

Prepare your bath with Epsom salts, essential oils like frankincense or sandalwood, and perhaps some dried lavender. As you soak, meditate on what deeper truths and desires are surfacing under Scorpio's influence. What emotional baggage are you ready to release? What power are you ready to claim?

After your bath, take time to journal about your insights. The water will have helped loosen subconscious blocks, allowing for honest self-reflection and clarity about what needs transformation in your life.

Release and Rebirth Ritual

This powerful two-part ritual helps you release what no longer serves you and plant seeds for new beginnings. You will need: an aura cleansing tool (sage, palo santo, or incense), two white candles, two pieces of paper, and a pen.

Begin by lighting your candles and cleansing your aura and space. As you cleanse, recite: "On this magic Moon night, I cleanse and release myself of the heavy burdens of the past. I let go of all that prevents me from being me. I release all that has clouded my mind and made my heart heavy. I am now free. I am now free to be me. I am cleansed. I am restored. I am so much more."

On the first piece of paper, write down a fear you wish to release or something you want to heal within your heart. Fold the paper and hold it in your hands, then blow onto it as if releasing whatever you wrote down through your breath. Continue until you feel a release, then place the paper before the left candle.

On the second paper, write one positive action you will take to instill hope, wellness, or love in your life. Fold it and blow into it once, imagining you're blowing your wish to the heavens. Place this paper before the right candle.

Place your hands over each paper and recite: "Out with the old and in with the new. I release the past so I can be new. I release the past so my heart can open. I release the attachments that hold me back. I release and let go so I can be on track. I welcome in the new. I welcome in my heart. My heart now opens and this is my fresh new start."

Scrunch or rip up the release paper, symbolically destroying its hold on you. Leave the intention paper between the candles overnight, then either display it somewhere visible or bury it in the ground, planting your seed of intention.

Embracing the Shadow: Scorpio's Greatest Gift

Scorpio season teaches us to become our own shamans, alchemists, and psychologists as we explore the innermost layers of our being. Shadow work is some of the deepest work we can do on ourselves—it's an integral part of any healing practice and a necessary complement to our spiritual endeavors.

Our shadows hold parts of ourselves we are ashamed of and cannot bear to face. When we look at them from a compassionate viewpoint, we see they are energies we didn't have the ability to confront originally. As long as an energy remains in shadow, it controls us. This New Moon offers the perfect opportunity to unpack these energies and accept them as part of us.

Scorpio teaches us that emotions are simply energy that can be transformed. The first step is acceptance. As you work with this New Moon, ask yourself what emotions you're suppressing or avoiding. When we accept anger, it often becomes motivation; fear can become surrender and trust; sadness can lead to creativity and self-acceptance.

Moving Forward with Lunar Power

The Scorpio New Moon of 2025 offers a profound opportunity for emotional rebirth and personal power reclamation. By working consciously with its energy through ritual, intention-setting, and shadow work, you can transform pain into power and emerge from this lunar phase renewed and realigned with your deepest truth.

Remember that Scorpio's magic lies in its understanding that pressure creates diamonds. The discomfort of intense self-inquiry opens the way for incredible growth. Trust the process, embrace your depths, and let this New Moon guide you toward powerful transformation.
