On Monday, November 9, the sky goes dark as the New Moon in Scorpio rises, amplifying our inner voices and nudging us toward profound change. It’s going to be difficult to ignore the truth in the days surrounding this moon, so do your best to lean in and find the medicine in what gets revealed.
New moons mark the birth of a fresh lunar cycle. Right now the slate is blank, and the floor is open for your visions to come to life, so get real: where do you want to go from here? Because it falls in Scorpio, this particular new moon has zero tolerance for surface-level pleasantries. Something more enticing is emerging from the darkness. Let it take its course. If you want a card for the whole month, too, pull your monthly tarot reading.
Don’t be afraid to follow those big, emotional waves right now. The insight they carry might surprise you in the best way. Somatic healing is your friend under this moon. Try meditation, yoga, walking, running, EFT tapping or anything else that helps you get in touch with your felt senses. Valuable wisdom lives there.
The collective energy for this New Moon in Scorpio arrives as the Six of Pentacles, the Knight of Pentacles and the Three of Wands. The question is this: where does your energy flow effortlessly and excitedly? Think about who and what you feel deeply connected to, motivated by, and at home with. To reach that flow state, you may need to do some emotional excavating first, so let’s tackle that.
Throughout the Venus and Mercury retrogrades of the past few weeks, confusion has run high, but not for no reason. There’s friction between your old life and your new one. We’re meant to identify the stories that inform our choices and clear out the programming that keeps us stuck.
Maybe you’ve felt like you’re working loose a twisted emotional knot inside, fighting for coherence between your heart and your brain. In a fitful, tired state, it has felt like too much to untangle. Sitting with the knot is daunting work, but avoiding it keeps you from living fully. As we move out of this intense retrograde season, the exhaustion is pushing you toward sweet surrender. Clarity is beginning to crystallize.
Try breathing in and out of your heart center to connect your heart and mind. Send love to the part of you that’s scared to death to move forward. With each breath, your nervous system settles a little more, and you’ll feel yourself begin to let go. Embrace the emotional release that follows. Once you’ve gotten it all out, picture yourself in complete alignment and trust that you’re ready to head toward that new adventure.
Find your rising or Sun sign below to see the house this New Moon lights up for you, plus a tarot card to help you set solid intentions for the next lunar cycle.
Aries, your house of sex, death, and shared finances is in focus under this New Moon in Scorpio. The Page of Wands encourages you to get creative and flexible about what you want to explore. Feel free to be playful, goofy, and generally unserious around some of life’s heavier topics right now. Laugh in the face of the rules and get inventive about bringing your desires to life.
Taurus, your house of partnerships shows up under this New Moon in Scorpio. With the Five of Cups in play, don’t be alarmed if unresolved guilt and pain surface to help you learn from mistakes in past connections. Don’t beat yourself up, but do be willing to feel the discomfort and see things in a new light. You may feel waves of sadness for partnerships that have come and gone. Let that pain shape how you show up in relationships from here. Be willing to let go and move on.
Gemini, you’re longing for a fresh start at home and at work as this New Moon in Scorpio moves through your 6th house of routines. You’re ready to move on from what you’ve been doing for a while. You want to grow into spaces where your gifts are valued, but you’ve struggled to pin down exactly how to set out. The Page of Pentacles urges you to set intentions around a clear direction and collaborative connections that will help get you there.
Cancer, your 5th house of creativity pairs with the diligence of the Seven of Pentacles under this New Moon. Take a beat to step back from what you’ve been working on. Standing too close leads to hyperfixation, but a little distance reminds you of the bigger picture: how far you’ve come and where you’re ultimately headed. You can be really hard on yourself, so take a moment to admire your progress.
Leo, you’re reminiscing under this New Moon in Scorpio, paired with the Six of Cups. This is a unique moment to shift your internal beliefs about what happy, healthy relationships “should” look like. Growing up, you probably saw some things you shouldn’t have. Some wires may have crossed when unhealthy patterns showed up in relationships that were meant to be loving. You are not your past. Define what love means to you here and now.
Virgo, as the Scorpio New Moon moves through your 3rd house of communication, the Seven of Cups asks you to cut through the confusion. At times, you struggle to put your true feelings into words, and that blocks intimacy. Or you surround yourself with people whose energy pulls you away from what you find important. Be honest about the cloud you’re in, and set intentions to move toward what actually matters to you.
Libra, the New Moon is moving through your 2nd house of security and stability. The Moon card points to a lack of clarity as deep-seated fears rise to the surface. You may feel disconnected from your personal power around money right now, like you’re tangled up in messes you didn’t create and don’t know how to get out of. Be honest about the link between your sense of worth and your relationship with material abundance.
Scorpio, you might not be able to see it yet, but I’ll bet you can feel it: the finish line is right around the bend. As the New Moon moves through your 1st house of self and identity, the Nine of Wands is a sign of encouragement. You’ve been going through it this retrograde season, but you’re almost out of the woods. The rebrand is nearly complete. The solutions to your worries are crystallizing, and the lessons of your struggles are starting to make sense. Your commitment is being tested now, so defeat this final boss with total confidence in who you are.
Sagittarius, the 12th house stirs up heavy, mysterious subconscious stuff, and your antidote is the passionate fire you carry everywhere you go. Let your torch light the way through the caverns, and hold firm to what you know is true about yourself as you face the darkness. You’re not who you were in the past. Knowing who you are now lets you sit with your mistakes, because you’ve grown and evolved.
Capricorn, with the Five of Pentacles shaping your 11th house of friendships, pay attention to the places and people who make you feel lonely. You could be standing in a room full of people, but if none of them are your people, you feel completely on your own. You thrive when you can be supportive, but it takes a toll when that love doesn’t come back to you. Set intentions around finding your people under this New Moon.
Aquarius, it’s time to break free. This New Moon in Scorpio moves through your house of career, and it’s about time you walked away from what no longer fits. You have a creative fire that needs somewhere to go: valuable ideas, transformative visions, and an authenticity that deserves to thrive. Destroy any belief that you have to stay where things are comfortable and predictable. It’s time to go out on your own.
Pisces, the Wheel of Fortune urges you to take a leap of faith as the New Moon moves through your 9th house of travel, education, and philosophy. You still have so much to learn and explore. Life is ready to teach you, but that might mean letting the current carry you somewhere you never thought you’d go. Let yourself be swept up in the element of surprise. To master your craft, you have to be willing to embrace the unknown. See where it takes you.
