A New Moon in Scorpio arrives on Nov. 9, 2026, at 2:02 a.m. ET, landing in your 1st house of self, identity and first impressions. With the Sun at 17 degrees Scorpio, the Moon at 22 degrees Scorpio and Mercury retrograde at 6 degrees Scorpio all clustered in that same house, the day favors a quiet reset of how you present yourself rather than a big public move.
New Moons mark fresh starts, and this one sits exactly on your own sign. That gives Nov. 9 a personal weight: whatever intention you set today about who you are and how you want to be seen has real staying power, according to the general meaning astrologers give a New Moon in a person’s 1st house. Because Mercury is retrograde in that same house, this is better used for private reflection than for launching new introductions or signing off on how you’ll be introduced to others.
Love And Relationships
Venus is retrograde at 23 degrees Libra, sitting in your 12th house of rest, reflection, endings and the hidden. For Scorpio, this points romance inward today. Old feelings or unfinished business from a past connection may resurface, and the pull is to process them privately rather than hash things out face to face.
If you’re partnered, a low-key night works better than a big conversation. Venus retrograde in the 12th house favors journaling or quiet reflection on what you actually want from love before you say it out loud. Singles can use the Scorpio New Moon to get honest with themselves about patterns they want to break, even if that stays a solo exercise for now.
Career And Money
Mars and Jupiter are both in Leo, in your 10th house of career, reputation and public life, with Jupiter at 25 degrees and Mars at 22 degrees. That is a strong combination for ambition and visibility, and Venus sextile Mars today adds an easier, more cooperative tone to work interactions.
The energy supports steady follow-through on career goals already in motion rather than brand-new ventures, since the Scorpio New Moon favors inward work over the public rollout a 10th house boost might otherwise invite. Let reputation-building happen through consistent effort this week, and save any big professional announcement for after Mercury retrograde clears.
Health And Wellbeing
Saturn retrograde at 8 degrees Aries and Neptune retrograde at 1 degree Aries both sit in your 6th house of daily work, health routines and service. That combination asks for discipline paired with compassion when it comes to your body and your schedule.
Saturn retrograde can make old habits feel harder to maintain, while Neptune retrograde blurs the line between pushing through and genuinely needing rest. Keep routines simple today and listen closely to what your energy levels are telling you. Talk to a doctor or other health professional before making any major changes to a fitness or wellness routine.
Scorpio Tip For Monday
Use the Scorpio New Moon to write down one private intention for who you want to be over the next cycle, rather than announcing it. With Mercury retrograde still moving through your 1st house, actions and words land better once you’ve let the idea sit for a day or two.
