Your Horoscope for the New Moon in Scorpio

New Moons are a time for rejuvenation and manifestation. If you have a lack in your life, then this is the time the collective will work to fill it, whether through a new experience, person, or item. We must make space for beginnings and foolish behavior during new moons. Mind you, we’re all fools when beginning something new, so don’t be scared to get experimental.For newbies, a New Moon is when the moon conjuncts the sun to the same degree. New moons are for setting intentions and goals to manifest. Take the theme of each new moon (manifestation period) as inspiration to bring forth the best version of yourself!

I'm actually such a big fan of this new moon, because we're going to see a lot emerging from it—a lot more clarity. Things that were done in the dark are going to be exposed now. But don't expect everything to come out all at once, because new moons are dark for a reason. Look at the sky: it is not bright, it is a dark moon because the Moon sits between Earth and the Sun, meaning the side facing Earth receives no direct sunlight. In astrological terms, that means our emotions are too close to our sense of purpose, that we are not able to recognize how our feelings and ego are influencing life on Earth. We are going to see things unfolding over the next two weeks.This new moon is making a square to Mars, the planet of conflict and drive. A square is an astrological connection that represents friction—think about the phrase “squaring up.” You might be trying to get to the same goal as someone, but you can't exactly agree on how it's going to be done. We may be wanting something that is loud and bold and perhaps even radical. However, this new moon is testing our patience and basically saying “actually, wait.” We need to investigate. We need to understand what's going on before we can make big, dramatic, theatrical changes. We need to do the work of unearthing. Mars is also making a sextile with Venus retrograde in Libra, the last Venus retrograde that we're going to see like this in a while. When Mars sextiles Venus, what these two planets are doing is making a harmonious agreement: Mars is agreeing to expose if Venus is able to give justice, and Venus is willing to get harmony if Mars is willing to put things under a spotlight. This is going to be a very spicy new moon. If you expected boring, please know that boring is not going to be the theme of this week's moon.What to Do During the New Moon in ScorpioTake it slowDo not expect a downpour of information. We are not going to get a release of what is hidden immediately. Expect for things to take time to adjust, and then eventually information will start to unravel. If situations unfold fast then be careful, accelerated speed may indicate a potential crash out.Treat this as a retrogradeRetrogrades are about returns, reflections, re-evaluation. This isn't a time to make any huge, drastic changes or start something completely new. This is a time to look at what was done, how it is affecting us, so that we can begin to plan moving forward. And it's very important that we follow these steps.Zoom out to the collectiveTry to zoom out of yourself as the individual and think about what collective or communal justice would be. Perhaps you as an individual felt betrayed or overlooked or disappointed, but chances are, if it's happening in your neighborhood, then it's happening to somebody else on the block. So don't treat things as if they're occurring in isolation. In fact, wisdom comes from learning that very rarely are things happening to just one person.Move with decorum—be strategic and privateMake sure that you are not acting out for the sake of acting out. This moon is calling for a sense of decorum, and considering that Pluto is the modern ruler of Scorpio this new moon’s theme is transformation. Currently, Pluto is direct in Aquarius, which means Pluto is governing change happening to the larger community. No change happens in isolation. We may not need huge masses of people to experience a breakthrough, but we do have to be strategic.Below, read your horoscope based on your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs below for the New Moon in Scorpio on Monday, November 9.Read your Sun sign to gain insight into the version of yourself that you’re maturing into.

Something in a merged arrangement is ready to be looked at honestly: a balance you've been avoiding, a financial tie that needs clearer terms, or a level of closeness that asks for more trust than you've been giving. With Mars—the planet prompting your drive—in a tense angle to this moon, the urge to confront it all at once will be strong. Investigate first. What surfaces over the next two weeks gives you the full picture, and that's what you actually want to act on.Moon lesson: Look at the shared ledger honestly, but don't settle it in one heated conversation.TaurusYour partnerships are the spotlight now — this new moon falls in your house of one-on-one commitments, directly across from your sign. A relationship, contract, or close collaboration is at a starting point, but it's a quiet one. Venus retrograde is asking for a review before a renewal: what was agreed to before may not fit who either of you is now. If an old conversation about fairness resurfaces, that's not a setback, it's the work. Renegotiate in private, take your time, and let any new terms become clear after the 13th before you lock them in.Moon lesson: A partnership can start fresh—after the old terms get an honest review.GeminiThis moon lights up your house of health, daily routines, and work habits—the unglamorous stuff that actually runs your life. A quiet pattern is ready to be unearthed: the schedule that drains you, the habit you've been doing on autopilot, the workload that crept up without you agreeing to it. This isn't the week for a dramatic overhaul. Treat it like a retrograde review—notice what your days are really made of, make one small, private adjustment, and see how it feels by the time Mercury stations direct on the 13th.Moon lesson: Don't rebuild the whole routine—unearth the one habit that's quietly costing you.CancerRomance, creativity, and pleasure are where this moon plants its seed for you—your fun house. Something you love, or someone you're drawn to, may be asking to be taken more seriously, and the Scorpio energy says keep it close for now. Not every beginning needs an audience. If an old hurt around being overlooked or having to enjoy things alone surfaces, let it inform you without letting it run the show. A creative project started privately during this moon can grow real roots over the next two weeks.Moon lesson: Start the thing you love in private—it doesn't need witnesses to be real.LeoMars is in your sign, squaring this new moon in your house of home, family, and foundations—so for you, the friction is personal. The push to act boldly and be seen is running straight into something at home that needs patience and investigation first: a family dynamic, a living situation, a truth about where you come from. Squaring up won't solve it. Getting curious will. What's been unspoken at home starts surfacing over the next two weeks, and you're better positioned if you've listened before you've performed.Moon lesson: At home, investigate before you make the big, dramatic move.VirgoYour house of communication is where this moon does its digging—the words, messages, and everyday conversations that shape your mindset. Something unsaid is ready to surface: the text you drafted and deleted, the thing you know but haven't told a sibling, a friend, or yourself. Mercury is retrograde in the same territory this moon is working, so treat your first draft of any hard conversation as exactly that—a draft. Write it down privately now, sit with what you actually mean, and send the real version after the 13th.Moon lesson: Write the honest version down now—send it after you've read it twice.LibraThis moon falls in your house of money, income, and self-worth—and Venus, retrograde in your sign, is in a harmonious angle with Mars, which means exposure and justice are working together in your finances. A money truth you've been sensing is ready to be confirmed: what you're owed, what you've been undercharging, where your resources have been going in the dark. Don't make the big financial announcement yet. Quietly gather the numbers over the next two weeks, and make your move when Venus and Mercury station direct on the 13th.Moon lesson: The numbers are coming into the light—collect them before you act on them.ScorpioThis is your new moon—it lands in your house of self and identity, and it's a personal reset. But Scorpio resets don't happen on a stage. Yours happens in private: a commitment you make to yourself, about yourself, that nobody else needs to approve or even know about yet. With so much being unearthed around you, the most powerful move is deciding who you're becoming underneath it all. Plant that intention quietly on Monday, let the next two weeks show you what it requires, and announce it—if you announce it at all—after the 13th.Moon lesson: Your reset is real before it's public—commit to it in private first.SagittariusThis moon works in your house of rest, endings, and everything that happens behind the scenes. For you, the unearthing this new moon in Scorpio offers is internal: a pattern you've been running without noticing, a grief or resentment that's been operating in the background, a need for rest you've been outrunning. This isn't a moon for launching; it's a moon for clearing. Give yourself actual downtime over the next two weeks, pay attention to what surfaces when you're quiet, and let an old cycle close properly so the next one can start clean.Moon lesson: What surfaces in the quiet is the assignment—make room to hear it.CapricornCommunity is your terrain under this moon—it falls in your house of friends, networks, and future goals. The zoom-out message of this moon was written for you: something you've been carrying as a personal disappointment may turn out to be a pattern your whole circle is experiencing, and naming it together is where the leverage is. A group, cause, or long-term goal could quietly reorganize during this moon. Move strategically, keep your counsel small for now, and let alliances form in private before they go public.Moon lesson: It's not just happening to you—find your people and name it together.AquariusYour career and public image are the focus—this moon lands in your house of public image. Pluto, direct in your sign, ties your personal evolution to the bigger changes moving through the world. Something about your professional direction is being quietly reset, and decorum is your strategy: like the Scorpio-heavy politicians, you don't have to narrate the transformation while you're in it. If a workplace truth surfaces over the next two weeks, let it. Do your investigating, position yourself carefully, and make the public move after the 13th, when the picture is complete.Moon lesson: You don't have to narrate the transformation—be mid-change in private, move in public later.PiscesThis moon opens your house of beliefs, learning, and the bigger picture—and its whole message is about zooming out. A worldview you've held may get quietly revised as new information surfaces over the next two weeks: about the world, about justice, about what you thought was true. Stay curious rather than certain. A course of study, a piece of writing, or a long-held opinion could all be part of the unearthing. Let your understanding be a draft for now—it gets confirmed and sharpened after the 13th.Moon lesson: Hold your beliefs like a draft—new information is still coming in.
