Every time a New Moon arrives, I feel as if the universe hands us a quiet doorway — a pause, a fresh page, a moment to realign with what truly matters. Over the years, I’ve noticed that these lunar phases often bring subtle shifts inside me: more clarity, deeper reflection, and a renewed desire to begin something meaningful.
And here we are again, standing under the powerful New Moon in Scorpio on 20th November. This is one of those moons that you simply should not miss — especially if you’ve been waiting for a sign to start fresh, to transform something within, or to set intentions that truly come from the heart.
This time, I’m sharing a very special New Moon Ritual with you — one that combines the depth of Scorpio, the emotional wisdom of water, and the fearless action of Mars. It’s simple, personal, and incredibly powerful… and I cannot wait for you to experience it.
Why the Scorpio New Moon is so potent (and why water matters)
New Moons are classic moments for beginnings — like planting seeds in rich, dark soil. Scorpio’s flavour is different from airy optimism or gentle growth: it is intense, transformational, and deeply honest.
Scorpio asks: what are you really willing to change? What will you commit to from your heart, not out of fear, not for appearances, but from the depth of your truth?
Water symbolizes emotion, intuition, and inner knowing. When we set intentions with water, we are taking a physical element that responds to vibration and aligning it with our inner will.
There are fascinating experiments — for example, the work of Dr. Masaru Emoto — that explored how words, sounds and intentions appear to influence the structure of water crystals. Put plainly: when positive intentions or words are directed at water, the frozen forms look more symmetrical and “beautiful”; when negative words are used, the shapes appear distorted.
Whether you read Emoto as empirical proof or inspiring metaphor, the message is clear: energy affects water — and our bodies are mostly water. So the energy we carry shapes our internal and external world.
In Scorpio, the emotional charge is rich. Mars gives that charge action. This means our intentions can be both deeply felt and powerfully moved into the world.
How this Scorpio New Moon impacts you — quick and real
- New Moons = fresh starts. Use them intentionally.
- Scorpio brings transformation. You may feel a strong desire to change something at the root rather than at the surface.
- Courage to face fear. Mars fuels action; if you’ve been circling an uncomfortable truth, this moon gives the fortitude to step through it.
- Authentic connection. Scorpio asks for emotional honesty — with others and most importantly, with yourself.
- Not about dramatic release — about creation. This New Moon is less “let go” and more “decide what to begin.”
Purpose of this ritual — a short guidepost
This ritual is designed to:
- Help you set clear, emotionally charged intentions.
- Use water as a carrier for your vibration.
- Blend inner feeling with outer action, thanks to Scorpio + Mars.
- Give you a concrete, daily practice (using the charged water) that keeps your intention active until the next Full Moon.
What you’ll need — and why each thing matters
(Keep this simple. The power is in your intention, not in a perfect shrine.)
- A glass bowl with clean water — a vessel that represents Scorpio’s element. Glass is neutral and symbolic.
- A teaspoon or small bowl — used to scoop and focus each individual intention.
- Honey drops (edible) — to attract sweetness, abundance, and ease. (Use only edible, hygienic honey.)
- Rose petals (edible or very clean) — to infuse love and compassion. If using garden petals, be sure they’re pesticide-free and rinsed. If not, use dried rose petals intended for consumption or avoid ingesting.
- Small glass bottle (with lid) — your intention vessel; to store the charged water.
- Optional candle — to represent Mars’ fire and your courage to act. Use safely.
- Quiet space — to be present and centered.
Safety note: If you plan to ingest the water, use only edible ingredients, clean glassware, and hygienic petals. If in doubt, keep the charged water for external use (spritzing on your aura, anointing pulse points) rather than drinking it.
Optional crystals for support
Crystals are supportive, not mandatory. Place them near the bowl — not inside — unless they are safe to be submerged (and you know they won’t leach minerals). Cleanse them beforehand.
- Clear Quartz — amplifies intentions.
- Aura Quartz — raises and purifies vibration.
- Pink Tourmaline — invites self-love and confidence.
- Black Obsidian — grounds emotions and helps transform fear into power.
The Water Intention Ritual — detailed, step-by-step
Step 1 — Prepare your space
Sit quietly with your bowl of water. Light the candle if you’re using one. Take three deep breaths to find your center.
Say softly (or in your heart):
“I connect with the energy of Scorpio’s water and Mars’ courage. I am ready to begin something new with clarity and strength.”
Make this personal — replace “I” lines with anything that feels truer for you.
Step 2 — Add symbols of intention
Add a few drops of honey (a pinch is enough) and a few rose petals to the bowl. These are symbolic: honey for sweetness and ease, rose for love and tenderness woven into your intentions.
Take a moment to notice how the water looks. Feel how your body responds. Scorpio’s power is in noticing and being honest about those responses.
Step 3 — Infuse your intentions
Use the teaspoon or small bowl to scoop from the main bowl. Hold the small amount of water in your hands. Speak one clear intention into it, aloud or silently. Imagine the emotion of the intention filling the water.
Pour that water back into the main bowl. Repeat this for each intention. Make them specific, present-tense, and positive.
Examples of powerful, specific intentions (I’ve included Hindi translations as well — because saying things in your mother tongue adds emotion and clarity):
- “I am moving into my new home by the end of March 2026, surrounded by peace, beauty, and love.”
👉 “मैं मार्च 2026 के अंत तक अपने नए घर में जा रही हूँ, जहाँ शांति, सुंदरता और प्रेम का वातावरण है।” - “I am achieving my promotion as Senior Manager by February, leading my team with confidence and joy.”
👉 “मैं फरवरी तक सीनियर मैनेजर के रूप में प्रमोशन पा रही हूँ, अपनी टीम को आत्मविश्वास और खुशी के साथ लीड कर रही हूँ।” - “I am consistently losing 5 kilos in the next six weeks while feeling strong, energetic, and proud of my body.”
👉 “मैं अगले छह हफ्तों में लगातार 5 किलो वजन घटा रही हूँ, खुद को मज़बूत, ऊर्जावान और अपने शरीर पर गर्व महसूस कर रही हूँ।” - “I am attracting 10 new clients in my business this month who value my work and pay with ease.”
👉 “मैं इस महीने अपने व्यवसाय में 10 नए क्लाइंट आकर्षित कर रही हूँ, जो मेरे काम की कद्र करते हैं और आसानी से भुगतान करते हैं।” - “I am saving ₹1,00,000 by December, effortlessly managing my finances with abundance and discipline.”
👉 “मैं दिसंबर तक ₹1,00,000 बचा रही हूँ, अपनी आर्थिक स्थिति को सहजता, समृद्धि और अनुशासन के साथ संभाल रही हूँ।” - “I am entering a loving, respectful, and emotionally secure relationship that helps me grow.”
👉 “मैं एक प्यार भरे, सम्मानजनक और भावनात्मक रूप से सुरक्षित रिश्ते में प्रवेश कर रही हूँ, जो मुझे आगे बढ़ने में मदद करता है।” - “I am completing my course successfully and receiving amazing opportunities immediately after.”
👉 “मैं अपना कोर्स सफलतापूर्वक पूरा कर रही हूँ और उसके तुरंत बाद शानदार अवसर प्राप्त कर रही हूँ।”
Avoid saying: vague or lack-luster sentences like “I don’t want to be broke anymore”, “I wish something changes in my job.” These are unclear and low in energetic charge. State what you want as if it is already happening, with gratitude and specificity.
Step 4 — Seal your intentions
Once you’ve spoken all your intentions, place both hands over the bowl. Close your eyes and visualize a golden light filling the water. Feel that light anchoring your will and your heart together.
Say aloud:
“These waters now hold my emotions, my will, and my truth. My intentions are blessed by the universe.”
Let this be a moment of sacredness — not showy, but solemn and personal.
Step 5 — Charge under the moon
Pour the water into your small glass bottle and seal it gently. Whisper:
“This water carries my highest vibration and purpose.”
Place it near your window overnight to receive the New Moon energy. Even though a New Moon has no visible light, its energetic pull is strong — especially in Scorpio when the inner darkness is honoured. The point is to leave the water in a place of quiet receptivity until dawn.
Step 6 — Daily connection (practical magic)
From this New Moon until the next Full Moon (roughly two weeks to a month depending on the lunar cycle), take two to three drops of this charged water daily. You can:
- Add it to your drinking water (only if you used edible, clean ingredients).
- Put two to three drops on your tongue before meditating.
- Anoint your pulse points or third eye (temple area) externally.
Each time you use the water, say:
“Thank you, Universe. My intentions are alive. My heart is open, and my new beginnings are unfolding beautifully.”
This daily act keeps the intention active and reminds your nervous system of the choice you made.
Why specificity and emotion matter — a small practical example
Imagine two people: A and B. Both want “better health.” A says: “I want to feel healthier someday.” B says: “I am consistently losing 5 kilos in the next six weeks while feeling strong, energetic, and proud of my body.” Which one is more likely to create consistent action? B. Why? Because B’s intention is specific (5 kilos, six weeks), embodied (feeling strong and proud), and stated in present tense. The body accepts and responds to clarity. Scorpio energy loves depth and specificity — it knows exactly where to apply pressure to birth transformation.
Frequently asked questions & practical cautions
Q — Can I use this ritual if I’m not spiritual?
Yes. Think of it as a psychology-supported practice of setting clear goals with ritualized repetition. The water is a tangible focal point for your intention, and the daily drops are a reminder that keeps your mind and actions aligned.
Q — Can I drink the charged water if I used non-edible items?
No. Only drink the water if you used edible, clean ingredients and hygienic methods. If you used decorative petals, crystals inside the water, or unknown substances, do not ingest. Instead use it for external anointing or aura sprays.
Q — What if my intention doesn’t happen exactly as worded?
Manifestation is co-creation. The literal words are guides, not shackles. The universe may offer a better path than the one you imagined. Keep your heart open and be willing to act. Scorpio energy asks you to do the internal work that makes external doors open.
How to carry this New Moon energy forward
- Move from feeling to action. Write down one concrete step you will take this week that aligns with your intention. Mars rewards movement.
- Journal nightly. For the next two weeks, write one short note about any small sign, idea, or shift you notice. This trains you to identify synchronicity.
- Use crystals for continuity. Keep Clear Quartz near your workspace, or carry Pink Tourmaline to remind you to lead with love.
- Mind your boundaries. Scorpio supports emotional honesty. Practice saying what you need, and protecting your energy so your intentions can thrive.
Closing message — a gentle, fierce benediction
The Scorpio New Moon asks for a courageous kind of tenderness. It asks that we face what is true inside us and then do something about it. When water (our feeling) meets Mars (our will), we get a potent mixture: emotionally intelligent action. Your words changed that bowl of water tonight; your consistent use of the charged water will change your nervous system and the way you move in the world.
Remember — manifestation is not magic that happens to you. It is a steady practice of aligning feeling, language, and action. This ritual is a tool — one that helps you keep that alignment. Trust what you spoke. Trust how you felt. And Trust your next small step.
If you’d like to go deeper with moon-based rituals, crystal charging, and a guided practice through each lunar phase, I invite you to join my Moon Manifestation Course, where I guide you through every step with meditations, templates and real-life exercises.
May this New Moon bring you the courage to begin, the clarity to know what to plant, and the softness to hold yourself through the growing. ✨
