Metalhead Horoscope Week of November 16th – 22nd 2025
THE SCORPIO NEW MOON: COSMIC BREAKDOWN EDITION
This weeks Metalhead Horoscope on November 20th at 1:47 AM EST, the New Moon hits Scorpio like a bass drop that rattles the rafters. This isn’t a soft, incense-and-journaling kind of moon.
This one shows up in a leather jacket, cracks its knuckles, and flips the table you’ve been politely eating at.
It’s backed by Pluto, Saturn, Neptune, and Jupiter, basically the universe’s supergroup. But it’s also tangled up with retrograde Mercury and staring down Uranus like two bands about to brawl behind the venue. Translation: Life is about to tune itself down to Drop C and get real.
Scorpio rules the underbelly of intimacy, power, money, control, the stuff you don’t post on Instagram. This New Moon drags all of it out of the shadows, scrapes off the rust, and asks: “Do you want to fix this… or keep pretending it doesn’t exist?”
It’s a reset button for the soul, but the gritty kind. The “clean out the emotional junk drawer, confront your habits, and stop lying to yourself about who’s got the real power kind of energy.
It’s messy, it’s uncomfortable, and it’s exactly the kind of cosmic shove that leads to real healing. A New Moon built for metalheads: intense, purifying, and loud enough to change the setlist of your life.
ARIES (March 21–April 19)
You’re in the last stretch of deep, heavy, under the stage energy with secrets, obsessions and money moves. The loud stuff nobody talks about. Don’t start writing a new album, just rewrite the hooks on whatever’s already flowing.

⚠️ Disclaimer: If your drummer is a Pisces, good luck! You’re basically touring with a sad ghost who’s late to their own haunting. They don’t keep time, they drift through it like they’re underwater. You’ll start the song at 140 BPM and end it somewhere around “whatever tempo grief is.”
They practice by staring at the floor tom like it wronged them in a past life. They show up late because they “lost track of linear time.” They’ll tell you the click track is “CIA mind control.” Ask them to choose a tempo and they’ll look into the void and whisper, “None of this is real.”

Metalhead Horoscope F.A.Q.
Q: Are these horoscopes real astrology or just jokes for metalheads?
A: Both. The horoscopes come from actual astrological forcasts, but the language is written in pure metalhead tongue- in-cheek because you deserve prophecy that sounds like a pit, not a PTA meeting.
Q: How do we pick the Lucky Song of the Week?
A: Each track is hand picked to echo the week’s cosmic vibe. If Mars is throwing horns, expect riffs sharp enough to cut steel. If the Moon is weeping in Virgo, you’ll get a track that slays with precision. No boring playlists, no cookie cutter picks. Just new drops, deep cuts and cult classics.
Q: Can metal really mix with astrology?
A: Of course. Both are about cycles, transformation, and intensity. Astrology tells you where the stars are screaming and metal tells you how to scream back.
Q: Why should I care about astrology if I only worship riffs and distortion?
A: Because the cosmos is basically the ultimate tour manager thats setting the stage, flipping the lights, and sometimes cancelling the gig. You don’t have to believe in it to bang your head to it.
Q: Do we take requests for Lucky Songs in our horoscopes?
A: Absolutely. Drop your ideas in the comments or shoot us a message. We might just spin your favorite band into the cosmic setlist next week.
Q: Does Metal Lair have other series like this?
A: Yes! Metal Lair runs several signature series that explore every corner of heavy music:
- Seven Deadly Songs – A weekly roundup of the most unholy new releases.
- Deep Cuts – Hidden gems and lost recordings from rock and metal history.
- A Rip in Time: Women in Metal – A series celebrating the voices, pioneers, and rule-breakers reshaping heavy music’s DNA
