Nov 19, 2025 at 10:47 pm PT is a new Moon in Scorpio. Water sign Scorpio rules the 8th house of sex, death, and rebirth. The new Moon, Sun, Mercury, and Venus are all in Scorpio for powerful emotions, deep insights, and strong passions. The new Moon, Sun, and Mercury make a rare grand Water trine with Jupiter in Cancer, and Saturn and Neptune in Pisces whereby intuition and creativity can flow more easily.
This new Moon begins the lunar month of the Fire Pig for celebration and pleasure. Under the influence of Pig, ease and enjoyment of the good life are valued more than power and status. People can be kinder to each other in their everyday interactions, and feel less need for competition. Pigs are known for their kindness, generosity, and desire to share prosperity. The element Fire adds directness, zeal, and leadership ability to the cooperative Pig.
Note that the new Moon, Sun, and Mercury are opposite Uranus in Taurus. Oppositions can indicate tension with others, those opposite you. There could be unpredictable disruptions concerning Taurean earthly issues of finances and security. Instead of rebelling or entrenching your position, release and let go under the influence of the grand Water trine and the gentle Pig. Now is not the time for sweeping change, especially in relationships. With Venus in Scorpio, relationships could be tested for their honesty or depth of commitment. But lighten up and enjoy the holiday spirit, and avoid confrontational power dynamics or hidden resentments in partnerships.
Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are all retrograde. Therefore, the pace of life slows down, and events may take longer than anticipated to come to their natural conclusion. It’s better to allow events to unfold slowly during winter of this Snake year. Snake hibernates in winter, making this the ideal season to coil up, contemplate, and imagine, especially now with so many planets in Water signs.

The flowing grand Water trine combined with the generous, pleasure-loving energy of the Pig brings good times and a break for ease in life, and is strongest for Water sign Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio and those born in Tiger, Rabbit, Sheep, and Pig years.
Happy new Moon,
