Published on 30 October 2026, updated on 2 November 2026

The New Moon in Scorpio takes place on Monday 9 November 2026 at 07:02 UTC (08:02 Paris time, 02:02 New York time), at 16°53′ Scorpio.

It is a New Moon for deep fresh starts: set intentions about what you want to transform, release or face honestly, with one twist this year: Mercury and Venus are still retrograde, so prepare rather than launch, then act after their stations on 13 and 14 November.

The sky of the 9 November 2026 New Moon

The Sun and Moon meet on 9 November 2026, 08:02 Paris time (07:02 UTC), at 16°53′ Scorpio. The Moon is invisible: this is the start of November’s lunar cycle.

At the same moment, Mercury is retrograde at 6°52′ Scorpio, in the same sign as the New Moon, and Venus is retrograde at 23°19′ Libra. Mars (22°41′ Leo) and Jupiter (25°15′ Leo) are closing in on their 16 November conjunction.

Scorpio is a fixed water sign, linked in astrology with intimacy, shared money, secrets and transformation. A New Moon in this sign asks you to go to the bottom of one question rather than spread yourself thin.

How to work with this New Moon while Mercury and Venus are retrograde

With two personal planets retrograde, this New Moon favours preparation: write intentions, sort, reread, repair. Mercury stations direct on 13 November 2026, 16:54 Paris time (15:54 UTC) and Venus on 14 November 2026, 01:27 Paris time (00:27 UTC): from then on, concrete decisions get easier.

The following Full Moon is on 24 November 2026, 15:53 Paris time (14:53 UTC), at 2°20′ Gemini: that is when you see what the 9 November intentions have started to produce.

Taurus

For Taurus, it falls in your 7th solar house, opposite your sign: relationships and agreements are in focus. Intention idea: say plainly what you need from one partner, personal or professional. As the opposite sign, you may feel this New Moon through other people first.

Gemini

Cancer

For Cancer, it falls in your 5th solar house: love, creativity and joy. Intention idea: start the creative project or the date you keep postponing. Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) usually find a Scorpio New Moon supportive.

Leo

For Leo, it falls in your 4th solar house: home, family and roots. Intention idea: clear one room or one family topic that has been weighing on you. Leo is square to Scorpio, and Mars and Jupiter are both in your sign: expect energy, and a few tests of patience around 18–19 November when the Sun squares them.

Virgo

For Virgo, it falls in your 3rd solar house: words, learning and your neighbourhood. Intention idea: start a course, a journal, or the conversation you have been rehearsing. Virgo is sextile to Scorpio: a helpful, practical New Moon for you.

Libra

For Libra, it falls in your 2nd solar house: money and self-worth. Intention idea: one clear money goal for the next six months, with a figure attached.

Scorpio

For Scorpio, it falls in your own sign, your 1st solar house, during your birthday season: the most personal New Moon of your year. Intention idea: decide what you want people to see in you next year.

Sagittarius

For Sagittarius, it falls in your 12th solar house: rest, solitude and endings. Intention idea: let go of one thing before your birthday season, and protect your sleep.

Capricorn

For Capricorn, it falls in your 11th solar house: friends, networks and long-term hopes. Intention idea: reach out to one person or group linked to a goal for 2027. Capricorn is sextile to Scorpio: a helpful, practical New Moon for you.

Aquarius

For Aquarius, it falls in your 10th solar house: career and public life. Intention idea: write down the professional move you want, and the first step to take this month. Aquarius is square to Scorpio: this New Moon can push a career question that needs a firm decision.

Pisces

For Pisces, it falls in your 9th solar house: travel, study and meaning. Intention idea: plan a trip, a training or a reading that widens your view. Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) usually find a Scorpio New Moon supportive.

Method: dates, times and degrees were computed by Callastral with the NASA JPL DE440 ephemeris (geocentric, apparent positions, tropical zodiac) and cross-checked against published astrological calendars. Station times can differ by a few minutes between ephemerides, because the planet is barely moving at that moment. Paris is on UTC+1 (winter time) from 25 October 2026.
