Scorpio New Moon Peaks With Mercury Retrograde and Uranus Opposition

Astrologers describe a reflective reset that pushes hidden matters into view.

Overview

  • The lunation reaches its peak on Nov. 19 at 10:47 p.m. PT and Nov. 20 at 1:47 a.m. ET, closing out Scorpio season with an intense fresh start.
  • It aligns exactly with Mercury retrograde, opposes Uranus, and forms a Grand Water Trine with Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune, creating potent but volatile conditions.
  • Multiple planetary retrogrades, including Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, are cited as heightening communication glitches and complicating decisions.
  • Relationship, intimacy and money themes take center stage, with Venus active in Scorpio and close to Mercury, prompting scrutiny of shared resources and values.
  • Guidance centers on grounding and ritual—such as journaling, cleansing and scrying—with a Mercury retrograde cazimi a few hours after the peak flagged as a moment for clarity and reset.
