Save this story Save Story Save this story The New Moon in Scorpio occurs on November 9. The second New Moon of autumn marks the start of a fresh lunar cycle, calling on us to manifest with intention. It is a moment for deep contemplation and renewal, anchored in Scorpio’s penetrating, introspective terrain. Step by step, we are learning to step into our power by honoring our most authentic, self-sufficient selves—regardless of the roadblocks standing in our way.
“The New Moon in Scorpio represents an intimate kind of beginning,” Bri Luna, founder of The Hoodwitch and author of Sex Magic For Dummies , explains. “Scorpio brings us into contact with sex, death, sorrow, and the appetites we keep private. Under this Moon, we may recognize how much of ourselves we’ve concealed to preserve a relationship or hold on to a life we’ve outgrown. There can be grief in admitting that, but also a renewed thirst for living. We can still want something deeply, even after disappointment.”
Internally, we are called to reshape and revitalize our daily lives. The urge to evolve into a more grounded, radiant version of ourselves is palpable. The rebirth we are undergoing invites us to shed old layers: like the metamorphosis from chrysalis to butterfly, real transformation takes patience before we can truly take flight.
Luna adds: “Desire is an important part of my magical practice, and something I explore in my new book . Working with pleasure and sexual energy through ritual asks us to understand what we’re calling into our lives and why. For this New Moon, I would begin with the desires you keep editing before you’ve even allowed yourself to name them. Give yourself some privacy, tell yourself the truth, and consider what honoring that urge would ask of you.”
Action-oriented Mars, the traditional ruler of Scorpio, squares this New Moon. The bold fire of Mars in Leo pushes us to take decisive steps toward fulfilling our longings. The catch? Mars entered its pre-retrograde shadow on November 5 (gearing up to station retrograde on January 10), which means forward momentum may feel sluggish. We are also navigating five concurrent planetary retrogrades: Mercury in Scorpio clouding choices, Venus in Libra recalibrating relationships, Saturn in Aries testing commitments, Uranus in Gemini upending collective viewpoints, and Neptune in Aries reframing our ideals. Hesitation and fog are natural under this sky, but they provide fertile ground to pause and reassess. Resist the urge to rush. Meditate on what your spirit actually needs by tuning into gut-level intuition.

Living well remains the best revenge, especially when you have no interest in petty disputes. If you find yourself watching karmic loops play out for others, there’s no need to get your hands dirty. What goes around comes around—step back, protect your peace, and focus on your own lane.
People are naturally drawn to your warmth and charm right now. With the lunation stirring up connections from the past, present, and future, your instinct is to nurture genuine camaraderie. Just make sure you aren't spreading your emotional bandwidth too thin; be discerning about who gets a front-row seat to your life.
The energy you’ve been pouring into others needs to be directed back inward. Before comparing your progress to what everyone else is doing, reclaim your focus. Clarify your own immediate priorities and creative sparks—once you reconnect with what drives you, you’ll move forward without second-guessing yourself.
Vulnerability can feel daunting, especially when scars from past connections linger. While defining a partnership or opening up emotionally might bring up old anxieties, remember that every dynamic is unique. Don’t let former heartaches dictate current possibilities; take intimacy at a pace that feels genuinely safe.
Retreating to your sanctuary is the best way to ride out external noise until the dust settles. You’re in the mood to guard your energy and keep your inner circle close and calm. Filter out anything that drains your vitality, prioritizing quiet restorative rituals that reinforce your peace of mind.
Conversations may feel unusually fraught or prone to misinterpretation right now. If others are projecting their stress or deflecting accountability, verbal sparring won’t help. Opt for clarity, brevity, and space—sometimes putting your thoughts into a carefully considered note is far more effective than an off-the-cuff debate.
Reframing your financial habits is front and center under this lunation. Stepping away from a scarcity mindset is the first step toward unlocking sustainable earning power and security. Transforming how you manage and value your resources takes time; don’t hesitate to seek sound advice from trusted professionals to sharpen your strategy.
We are all creatures of habit—even you. Take an honest look at recurring patterns that have outlived their purpose. Breaking generational or personal cycles can feel intense, but it is deeply liberating. Use this New Moon in your sign to take that first decisive step toward personal reinvention; real momentum will follow.
A sudden moment of clarity may reveal someone’s true motives, dislodging assumptions you’ve held for a while. If you previously gave people the benefit of the doubt at the expense of your gut instincts, don’t dwell on regret. Take the revelation as valuable data to better curate who earned your trust moving forward.
Be selective about the alliances you form right now. Aligning with colleagues or partners who aren’t on your wavelength will only complicate your path, particularly if conflicting agendas create unnecessary friction. Do your due diligence and ensure that potential collaborators are as dependable, honest, and hardworking as you are.
Clarifying long-term career benchmarks may feel like a moving target amid so much retrograde motion. The secret is not to lose faith in your underlying vision just because the timeline shifts. Stay committed to your craft; opportunities often resurface in unexpected and far more fitting ways once the celestial fog clears.
Releasing rigid expectations opens the door to expansive intellectual and philosophical shifts. You might find yourself revisiting core beliefs from earlier in life with a fresh, more forgiving perspective. True growth requires staying adaptable rather than digging your heels in—there is power in doing a complete 180 when new insight demands it.
