Scorpio New
Moon Horoscopes
Deeper Reflections.
The New Moon in Scorpio 16º falls on November 9th at 2:02 AM ET.
The Moon turns dark during this phase, but it is still felt in its influence and power. New Moons can signal a time of renewal, rebirth, and a fresh start, but when in Scorpio, the start comes from the decay of what has fallen before it. There is a component of release, loss, or letting go. A reminder that death is a door – not an ending, but a beginning.
We walk through the valley of the shadows and feel pulled by the Moon and Sun in their embrace. Together, they show us the way with little light – a call to trust our inner knowing. We descend the depths of our own humanity to uncover the pieces of ourselves that have long been hidden. Secrets come out and information rises to the surface.
The barriers that once felt impenetrable are cracked and broken like sheets of ice, exposing the rushing rivers that lie beneath. New Moons in Scorpio can feel empowering. They can act as a conduit or an ignition. The fire is relit and it lights the way in the darkness.
This Scorpio lunation is surrounded by retrogrades, calling us to dive deep into our inner waters and realms. Mercury being re-submerged in this Fixed Water sign welcomes a chance for us to bring our needs, excitement, expression, and thoughts together. There is an element of stepping back into our power in this energy, especially as Mercury retraces its steps to the degrees where the Venus retrograde began. Part of embracing this power is also about embracing our fears – to name them, hold them, and no longer allow them to control us.
Mars rules this New Moon, sitting in prolific Leo. Even in our descent and subterranean force, the Leo Mars has us step out into the light. With the Sun and Mars in mutual reception, they strengthen one another. It is here that we see how creation is a means of transformation. There is art in evolution and joy in change. This New Moon truly can give us a fresh start. But we have to first be willing to unchain ourselves from the confines of our comforts to the past.
Luckily, there’s a lot of support at this lunation. Mars and Jupiter work well with Venus in its last retrograde moments. Here we find inspiration and new perspectives for what we’ve been feeling and use dialogue as a means of reconnecting. This can help us with workarounds, solve abstract problems, and give us the perseverance to see things through to the end. There are creative solutions that need to be explored. Maybe we aren’t fully aware of it yet, but it will come when we least expect it.
At this lunation, a balance of life and death is restored. What we leave behind will decay into the earth and nourish it once again. It will give love to our roots, and when the time calls to us, we will see that our petals will bloom brighter than ever.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 11º to 21º, you will feel the effects of this New Moon the most. Especially those with strong Fixed placements. So, let’s break this down by sign! Always read Sun, Moon, and Rising — But Read your RISING first!
ARIES TO CANCER
Aries & Aries Rising
Aries, the last few weeks has been teaching you about the importance of personal and relational intimacy. It has called you to seek depth and magic in how you show up and connect — where vulnerability and power intersect. You have not been able to circumvent the intensity of the season, but it has allowed you to find inspiration in even the shadowy parts of life. You have broken down the barriers to your desires and are starting to see how transformative these retrogrades have been. Now, we are turning a new leaf as we prepare for this New Moon and the end of all the astrological backtracking (for now).
There is a New Moon in your 8th House, opening doors for resources that have been untapped or previously hidden. This could be emotional or material. Some of you may find out about an unexpected gain, whether through you or a partner, perhaps an inheritance, or some sort of windfall. Alternatively, you may find that you are working toward paying off debts and feeling more secure — that you don’t owe anything to anyone. This could also apply to how you feel about emotional debts, almost washing your hands of old situations or people that no longer serve you. This New Moon may also bring about a transmutation. One that has been a long time coming. In some ways, it will feel like a re-emergence — a butterfly coming out of its cocoon after a long period of reflection, healing, and dealing with fears or conflicts that have sat beneath the surface. Becoming more intimate and preserving your inner peace will be of the utmost importance.
As Mars takes the lead in Leo, you are asked to investigate and interrogate what stands in the way of your joy. Be realistic with yourself, too. If it doesn’t make you happy, is it worth the energy you put into it? It does no good to lie about how much effort or sacrifice you have made to pretend. Mars will align with Jupiter and the South Node, working to extract a personal obstacle so that you can feel more expansive in your creative and heart-led endeavors.
Use this New Moon to reflect on your growth and how you have transformed in the last year. Seek new resources. Get intimate with a partner or close relationship — even yourself. Focus on the power you hold personally, finding new ways of sharing who you are. Explore your depths, take hold of your fears, and no longer be held back by cyclic patterns that keep you trapped. This is about seeing new pathways that had once been hidden from view. You hold the keys.
Taurus & Taurus Rising
If it feels like we have been in a never-ending story with Scorpio energy, and you may be right to believe that! Since early September, we have had at least one planet in the Fixed Water sign, pulling us into its deep ocean. For you that means that relationships have been under a microscope, as you have had to confront and re-evaluate how you and others show up. If you have been feeling lackluster about those closest to you, this would be a time when you can finally make some changes. You don’t have to settle for less, but instead inspire new pathways in your collaborations and partnerships.
We have a New Moon in your 7th House where you will likely see dynamics shift between you and someone you are close with. Some of you may dissolve broken or irreparable relationships, while others will get closer — forming impenetrable bonds. You are seeing the value in the give and take and understanding your boundaries in a new way. If you are seeking out a new relationship, it is likely you will find it. Alternatively, the relationship you’re working on could be one with yourself. Sometimes we think that we need to find “wholeness” through others and forget that we are whole on our own. So, consider this New Moon an exploration of what you need, deserve, and desire. Understanding your boundaries and seeing how you fit into the picture will be pertinent. With the Moon in Scorpio, it seems that sharing a part of your life with others can lead to greater intimacy. Find even just a few people you trust and open up. Receptivity is huge now.
As Mars leads the way at this New Moon, you are forced to sit with familial or ancestral aggravations. You may feel that the relationships that are causing the most grief are on the home-front. Your desire to break cycles and go a new way will inspire you to shift your perspective and thinking. Confrontation can be a means of creation, as you expand beyond the ways you have been feeling small. On a lighter note, changes around your domestic routines or space can lead to new feelings and neural pathways being discovered. Mars, Jupiter, and the South Node all in Leo will bring a refresh whether you are ready or not!
Use this New Moon to focus on your boundaries. Understand the roles that you play in others’ lives and what they play in yours. See where you can receive and know what you have to give. Form new relationships and work through old ones that don’t support you. Seek out ways to create a better relationship with yourself above all else. Nothing will ever be as solid as the love you can give to yourself.
Gemini & Gemini Rising
Let’s get it together, but for real this time. As your ruler, Mercury, backtracks through Scorpio, you are effectively cleaning house. This starts with your own temple, your body, as your are reconnecting with caring for yourself through your basic needs. You are realizing that there are parts of your life and health that you just can’t ignore. You can’t autopilot your way out of feeling burnt out or stressed. You have to actually take control of your life again, and the New Moon this week will help you do just that.
This New Moon falls in your 6th House. Here, you are told to prioritize your well-being. Your health, work, daily life, and routines all fall in this area of your chart. You may have seen major changes in this more mundane setting, yet you may not have realized how impactful the small shifts have been. This New Moon opens a door of opportunity for you (or even several), where you can take more risks with work, find better solutions for your health, and retake control of your life. Consider this a chance to organize the chaos. You are settling into new routines, so be mindful of what you begin. You can kick old habits and start new exercise regimens. The call is to bring your physical self to the forefront. Alternatively, some of you may see the New Moon manifest through your work environment with co-workers, your job tasks, or even the job itself. If your job is pushed out, then know that something similar is coming along. If not, then perhaps there are ways to update your work/life balance.
Mars will lead this lunation from your 3rd House, putting your voice and thoughts on display. You are asked to use your words with conviction and passion, getting straight to the point. Mars will energize your ideas and desire for solutions, while also asking that you look closely at what feels or seems like a distraction. As the South Node tours this area, too, there will be parts of your world that are pulling you away from the greater meaning or vision. Luckily, the more you are willing to sever ties with your side quests to be more aligned with your goals. Jupiter will bring growth as a result.
Use this New Moon to bring everything together. See how the small things in your life impact everything else. Pay attention to your body and work on making amends for how you may have abused it in the past. Work on getting healthier — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Look for opportunities for growth in your work, daily life, and routines. Be flexible. See that perfection is not the goal — the process teaches us more than the outcome. Work on taking care of yourself.
Cancer & cancer Rising
Arguably, you may have been having the best Scorpio Season from everyone else, as Mercury retraces its steps in the more playful and creative part of your chart. You could be reconnecting with your inner hot girl (gender nonspecific) or realigning with your personal passions. In general, you are seeing the value in lightening up a bit and not taking life so seriously. The New Moon this week will grant a gift or point of support from these learnings.
The New Moon will highlight the area of your chart that rules play, joy, happiness, pleasure, love, and creation. This is about leading with your heart, listening to that inner child, and making time for more fun in your life. This lunation reminds us that life is something to experience. You can manifest your heart’s desires into reality, simply by taking more risks on yourself. What makes you happy? What do you love? This is a time to explore new ways to play and seek out pleasure. Let loose. Because this is a time of creation, some of you may be creating something entirely new: a project, art, music, relationship, or even the conception of a child. Alternatively, consider this lunation a chance for you to sit in the spotlight a bit. It is okay to be recognized for your efforts and to celebrate your successes.
As Mars takes control at this New Moon, you are being shown the importance of resourcing yourself. What keeps you afloat, alive, well? Mars wants you to be hungry for expanding what options you have available to you as it aligns with Jupiter. You can welcome new financial or professional opportunities, but not without letting outdated ones go. The South Node requires an extraction, a point of release. If you don’t believe in what you are doing or creating, if you don’t value it, then it doesn’t value you either. Removing something will only bring more stability and security in the long run — and likely the potential for abundant growth.
Use this New Moon to find new ways to have fun. Follow your heart more and listen to your inner child. Seek new ways to engage in pleasure and creativity. Let loose. If you are looking to conceive (a child, a project or anything), let this New Moon be the thing that pushes you to start or get more focused on it. Anything that pulls at your heart will be favored. So really get in touch with what you desire most.
LEO TO SCORPIO
Leo & Leo Rising
Getting to the root of something feels like the theme of the season, huh? With Mercury backtracking through Scorpio, you are more focused on the substructure of your life and where you can seek out groundedness. Is what you have built on still sturdy? Strong? Formidable? This New Moon will have you not only confront those questions but also get some answers, too!
The 4th House rules family, home, roots, and your emotional foundations. Here, the New Moon will turn your attention to these areas. Perhaps you are looking to do some work around the house — renovations or redecorating. Maybe you are just on a house hunt overall, looking for new places to call home. Some of you may be finding more quiet time or family time, while seeking solitude after a busy few months. Whatever it is, you are bringing it all back to your center. Home is where the heart is. Family could take a central focus as there may be changing dynamics in this area of your life. Over the last year or so, you have been redefining what family truly is, or means to you. You have been putting down stronger roots and really focusing on your emotional well-being. This New Moon tells you all of that work has a purpose. You can rejoice in the power you have called back and honor the peace you have created. This may be one of the best times of the year for you to connect with your ancestors, inner foundations, and emotional desires as well. If you want to buy, sell, or rent — this lunation can be quite helpful!
As Mars rules this lunation from your 1st House, you may find that you are in the hot seat in some ways. Maybe someone is coming at you with fire and fury…or maybe it is you who is being confrontational, but whatever it is, the air needs to be cleared. As Mars aligns with Jupiter and the South Node, whatever you are willing to tackle now will have long-term growth potential. You may start to see some openings in the cracks that are created. Just go ahead and take your sledge hammer to them and make the portals yourself. You are entering a new era.
Use this New Moon to settle in and come back to the center. Focus on your roots and your family. Find security in your emotional foundations and create a sanctuary for yourself. Find peace in the quiet. Work on things around the house and spruce up your space. If you want to move, this New Moon could give you the boost you need to find the right place! It is all coming together now.
Virgo & Virgo Rising
Say it. Wish it. Be it. Your ruler Mercury has been supporting you the last few weeks in getting clear in what you need to say and how you say it. You have been reworking and realigning with your true intentions and thoughts. Now, you can find value in the voice you have been back in touch with. But you are far from done. There is life in continuing to unpack the “why”, especially in why you have kept something to yourself for so long.
The New Moon in your 3rd House allows you to learn, adapt, process, and integrate. This is about how you communicate not only what you are saying — but also what you are hearing. Part of shifting your perspective comes through dialogue and the conversations that you have with others. Your voice is your power. Now, it is time to learn how to use it. Through the 3rd House, we learn to express ourselves and say what is on our minds. Sharing is an integral part of your personal exploration — and how you choose to share is important. There can be a feeling of people inundating you with messages around the New Moon. Perhaps you may hear news that you were not expecting. You can start a new journey for yourself by applying the skills you have in new ways. Your local community will figure strongly, especially those close to you. They are here to uplift you and support you, but they won’t know what you need unless you tell them. Asking for help isn’t weak – especially if it is meant to help you grow.
Mars in your 12th House, taking the lead at this New Moon. You are feeling the fire in the belly of your spirit. Perhaps quietly working away on something that you plan to share soon. Whatever it is, you are feeding the flames of your inner desires and hopes. The confrontations you make now are internal, as the South Node asks that you release self-doubt into the vast ocean of the universe. There is no room for questioning your worth or enoughness. Instead, Jupiter will gift you growth for shedding uncertainty and embracing your courageous audacity.
Use this New Moon to speak your magic into the world. Communication is key, and your words hold more power than they have in a long time. Don’t be afraid to tell others what you are thinking, but also be open to what they have to say. Create important dialogue and have those tough conversations. Be flexible and adapt to the ever-changing tides in life. You are being asked to integrate your experiences and open yourself up to new possibilities.
Libra & Libra Rising
You may soon touch gold, Libra. I mean this literally and figuratively. Venus is retrograde in your sign for just a few more days, and you will have a couple more weeks to soak up its abundant energy. With Mercury revisiting your 2nd House, this could bring up a conversation around your worth or value that leaves you with more in your pocket. Advocacy will take you far, especially if you are willing to speak up. The New Moon this week will ensure it!
This New Moon is in your 2nd House, too, so your focus can be turned toward resources. Are you valued for your work? What is your compensation like, even outside of income? Some of you may be looking for a raise, promotion, or change to your financial picture. Others of you may think about how to use the resources you have differently (tangible or otherwise). Use this New Moon to push that forward for you. The Moon is in Scorpio, so it makes you dig deeper to find the right solution to whatever problem may arise! Remain grounded in your approach, but charge ahead knowing that you can grow an abundant garden from all that you decide to plant. There is a major theme around personal value that creeps up. You need to see yourself differently — own every facet of your talents and your experience. You are valuable. You are worthy. Not because someone says you are or because of what you have, but just simply because you exist.
With Mars acting as the captain of this lunation, you will see support in ways you didn’t expect. Friendships and community become a more active part of your life, where you are willing and wanting those relationships. Mars has brought a vibrant social life, and Jupiter only continues to expand this for you now. There will be some people that are haters though, as the South Node asks that you extract and remove faux-ami (fake friends) from your sphere. If they aren’t there to uplift you or believe in your best self, then they shouldn’t be there at all.
Use this New Moon to focus on the ground you stand on. What do you value? When was the last time you showed yourself respect? Seek out ways to show yourself that you can rely on yourself. Build a greater space for personal security and understand the value of owning every aspect of your humanity. Find new resources and open up doors for working through financial stress and abundance. There’s no scarcity in the world you have created for yourself now.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
Never not the “it girl” (gender nonspecific) this year, Scorpio. You have been out in the open and in the spotlight more than you probably care to be, especially with Venus initially startings its retrograde in your sign and Mercury now backtracking through it, too. You have been thrust out onto the stage with little preparation, but it has been all to get you ready for this New Moon.
This lunation falls in your 1st House, bringing you back to your place in this world. Who are you? What do you want? You have been dealing with multiple overexposures and transformations, so you may have been shedding old skin in order to release what isn’t working for you. This New Moon will give you a chance to find what WILL work for you. You get to decide how you live your life and make strides in building a new you. Now is the time to be unapologetically yourself. Celebrate your individuality. Take pride in where you are right now. It is time to call back your power! You are not just leveling up, you are being reborn.
Mars, your ruler, also leads this lunation. Being at the top of your chart, you are not beating the visibility allegations. Just forever witnessed and perceived now. Mars is making you an active and open competitor, a force to be reckoned with. Anyone who has dared to take you on lately knows how hard it is to overcome your resilient power. With both Mars and Jupiter commingling in your 10th House, there is a culminating expansion in your legacy, career, or work. You are about to receive your flowers and be celebrated for something you have been doing. It may require you to put aside your fears and uncertainties as the South Node is also activated. You are more than you realize you are.
Use this New Moon to focus on yourself. Work on discovering new pieces of your identity and releasing parts of you that no longer serve you. Be fueled by your desires and passions, and run with your ideas. Motivation is key. You can make anything you want come to fruition, especially as the doors swing open just for you. Stand in your power. Embrace the spotlight. Own every facet of your being. This is a fresh start!
SAGITTARIUS TO PISCES
Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
If it helps, I know how hard you have been working behind the scenes. You have been working through burnout, rejection, grief, and old feelings coming back to haunt you over the last many weeks. The message seems to be the same: rest. recover. reset. Like how much longer right? I promise your time is coming, as this New Moon will be one that alchemizes you.
The New Moon is perfectly positioned in your 12th House, so right now is a time to find a balance in work, pleasure, play, and rest. Work quietly out of view and slow down. You are turning inward and focused on preserving your energy. You know you will be expending a lot of it soon. The 12th House can bring insights that we were not privy to before. So, you may discover information that was hidden from view. Now is a time to listen to your intuition and focus on how to best navigate quietly. If you need a respite, take it! Additionally, this area of your chart is about following your intuition and trusting the unseen. Listen to your inner magic. Some doors may close for you, but new ones will soon open.
Mars in your 9th House is taking ownership of this lunation. It helps you see the expansive and visionary side of life. That through all of this contemplation and quiet, inner work, you are growing into something more amazing and aspirational. You are reaching beyond every horizon, as Mars motivates you to keep going. Jupiter here also welcomes the extensive energy, pushing the boundaries. But there are still outdated beliefs that don’t serve you now that require your attention. You can’t grow in a box. The South Node is asking that you remove and extract the old ideologies that have left you feeling empty or uninspired.
Use this New Moon to withdraw a bit where you can. Find more peace in everyday life — including work/life balance. Take time to rest and recharge. Tie up loose ends and close doors that need to be shut. Re-engage with yourself, replenish your energy, and enjoy downtime (by creating it). Listen to your intuition more and record your dreams. This is an opportunity for you to truly let go and open yourself up to something greater.
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
Are you having fun yet, Capricorn? Because if not, it may be time to find the people who inspire the youthfulness and playfulness of your life again. Mercury is moving back through a social part of your chart, and you are reminded that we (yes even you) are social creatures. We crave connection, community, and support. You will find that your calendar will be filling up now, and honestly, let it! Live life out loud again.
There is a New Moon to reinforce this message in your 11th House. With it, you will be looking at your connections and friends as a way to help you move ahead. You may even just want to catch up with people, feeling a little more talkative than normal. The Moon will be subconsciously drawing you out into the open. You are realizing that community is becoming increasingly important to you, and you may be trying to find where you want to align yourself. Budding friendships become lasting ones, and old friends are showing up left and right. Bask in this! People are giving you love, and you deserve that. Support seems like magic. You are recognizing that you can’t do things alone. You need others. Co-create. Collaborate. Connect!
Mars is the ruler of this New Moon, and it travels the more intimate part of your chart. Here, you are drawn to find the power and magic in your softer side. Mars is helping you confront fears and old problems that have been subconsciously holding you back. With it aligning with Jupiter, you are asked to see the bigger picture in how combating these energies will lead to growth. On a mundane level, these two may be bringing more resources, but also expenditures. With the South Node also in this area, you are tasked with removing old feelings of indebtedness. Where have you commingled or lost yourself in the energy of another? You can extract yourself from codependency now.
Use this New Moon to call on your community. Ask for support where necessary and seek out new methods of networking. Focus on your friendships and nurture the ones that prove to strengthen you. Look at your goals, your future, and your hopes. What do you want out of the next five years? Three years? Who can help you get there? How can you make this happen? These are questions to reflect on — just remember to not let your dreams die. Keep the faith alive.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
The world is your oyster in some ways right now, Aquarius. You are stepping out into the open, fully showing your gifts and what you have to offer. Perhaps, you are even being recognized or supported for who you are and what you have to share. Mercury is reconnecting you with a form of work, contribution, or even a goal now, as you are reminded of the importance of your unique vision. This New Moon will only progress this story along, maybe even allowing your reputation to grow.
The New Moon will bring you to new heights! It falls in your 10th House, so you have the chance to plant seeds in your career or make important moves in your life. You are becoming more aware of your direction and what you want! With the Moon in Scorpio, you are asked to recognize what is most important to you. You will have to dig a little deeper to discover what you truly want. Nothing you are doing is in vain. The right people are taking notice. If you do change jobs or careers, you may find that the work you want to do will be something completely different or distinct. Perhaps that is the change you want, too! Alternatively, some of you may make discoveries about your passions that drive you into a new field or up the ladder into a new role/position. Whatever it is, a career or work-related matter seems to be at the forefront of your mind.
Mars rules over this New Moon, and it sits in your 7th House. There is a partnership or relationship that needs your attention now. Confrontations can become combustions but also a means of expansion and growth. Mars is asking that you lay it all out on the table now. With the South Node also in this area, you may be removing a person or collaboration as a result. Extracting a bad egg will leave you more motivated with more energy that you realize. As Jupiter tours this part of your chart, too, you will receive a gift or reward — maybe aligning with an entity or relationship that only believes in your best or highest potential.
Use this New Moon to focus on your career and your life direction. Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. Be noticed and seek opportunities that make you more visible. Call the shots and show your leadership qualities. Strive for new goals and scale even higher mountains. Enjoy the fruits of your labour and relish in your successes. See the power within you and let that be what pushes you into the next phase of your life. You are moving toward such great heights.
Pisces & Pisces Rising
There is no stopping you now, Pisces, as Mercury reconnects you with your aspirations and goals. You are reminded of the power of having vision and seeing the world from a larger point of view. You know that the path to your dreams may not always be linear, but that never stops you from going after what you believe in. You are primed and ready for the next adventure that you are about to go on.
With this New Moon in your 9th House, where Mercury has been retrograde, you are actively growing and trying new things! Maybe even revisiting old ideas, if only to help them progress. You are taking the experiences you have had and applying them future-forward. Now is a time to be bold and optimistic about the journey that lies ahead. The Moon will make sure that you are grounded in your approach while remaining open to the beautiful changes that life can bring! Flexible structures. Here, you will see that your world is shifting. The 9th House is about limitless potential. You realize the world truly is your oyster in this realm, and you can make what you want out of it. You will likely see your goals more clearly than you have in a long time and thus change your priorities in achieving them. Nothing is too far out of reach. All it takes is a little faith.
As Mars takes the lead role at this New Moon, you will be asked to see how the expansive growth you want happens in the day-to-day. You are being called back to your well-being and needing to confront the stress that keeps you feeling small or boxed in. With the South Node co-present, you may have a project or work-related matter that needs addressing or to be removed. It is having an adverse effect on your life, almost acting as a point of control. You may be afraid to let it go, but know that on the other side is a golden opportunity. With Jupiter here, as well, you can find exponential gain through the extraction. You may even end up with a project, client, job, or freelance gig that allows you to feel more free and resourced in the long run.
Use this New Moon to explore new places — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Challenge your perspective, open your mind, and reach beyond current limitations. Seek help to achieve your goals and put yourself out there to gain notoriety. There is so much happening around you. If you feel confused, take a step back and pull yourself out of the details. See the big picture and soon, you will know which path to take.
