The new Moon in Scorpio will be exact early on Monday, November 9

The new Moon in Scorpio will be exact on Monday, November 9, 2026, at 2:02 a.m. ET (11:02 p.m. PT the night before). The Sun is in Scorpio, so the Sun and the Moon will meet in the same sign. In astrology, a new Moon is associated with beginnings, quiet intentions and fresh starts, and Scorpio adds a focus on depth, privacy and honesty.

Because the exact moment will fall in the middle of the night for most readers, the days before it are the practical window. Many people use that stretch to sort out what they want to begin and what they would like to set down. The timing also sits inside a review period: Mercury turned retrograde in Scorpio on October 24, and the planet will station direct on Friday, November 13, 2026, at 10:53 a.m. ET.

The four fixed signs are the ones in the new Moon’s path

Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius are the four fixed signs, the group traditionally linked with persistence, loyalty and staying power. Scorpio is a fixed sign too, so in sun-sign astrology the new Moon will land on these four in one of three ways: in their own sign, in the sign directly opposite, or at a square, which is a tense angle.

Scorpio, the natural eighth house, is associated with trust, intimacy and what people keep private. That is why the four notes below often come back to honest conversations, personal boundaries and what you choose to show the world. A tense angle is not a bad sign in this tradition. It is read as a nudge to adjust something that has been left alone for a while.

If your sign is not on the list, the new Moon still touches your chart somewhere. You can read about all twelve placements on the zodiac signs page.

Simple ways to prepare before Monday morning

A new Moon rewards small, concrete preparation more than big plans. Nothing here needs special tools or a lot of time, and each idea works whether or not you follow astrology closely.

Write down one thing you would like to begin and one thing you are ready to stop carrying.
Tidy a single space, such as a desk, a drawer or the corner of a room, so the week starts with a little room.
Choose one conversation you have been postponing and decide how you would like to open it.
Leave Sunday evening lightly scheduled, and go to bed a bit earlier than usual.
Keep your intention short, one or two sentences, and put it where you will see it on Monday.

What everyone else can take from this new Moon

Readers outside the four fixed signs can use the same simple structure: name an intention, take one small step and leave the rest open. A new Moon is a symbolic starting line, not a deadline, and the following weeks give plenty of room to adjust.

The calendar offers a few markers after Monday. Mercury and Venus both station direct on Friday, November 13, ending their retrograde periods, and the Sun enters Sagittarius on Sunday, November 22, 2026, at 2:23 a.m. ET. Many people treat that stretch as a natural time to check in on whatever they started this weekend.

What it means for your sign

Taurus April 20 – May 20

Scorpio sits across the zodiac wheel from you, and the new Moon will light up your seventh house of partnerships, marriage and close one-on-one ties. In astrology, an opposite sign often appears as another person who mirrors something you have been holding back. Pay attention to the conversations you have this weekend. One practical idea: before Monday, write down one thing you would like to ask of a partner, friend or colleague, and one thing you are ready to offer in return. Keep it simple and kind, and do not feel you must settle anything on the spot. A steady, honest exchange suits Taurus well.

Leo July 23 – August 22

A square is a tense angle, and the new Moon in Scorpio will form one to your sign, touching your fourth house of home, family and roots. In astrology, tension like this is read as a prompt to adjust, not as a warning. Home may ask for a little attention: a cluttered room, a postponed family call, a decision about how you want to spend the weekend. Choose one small domestic task and finish it before Monday. Clearing a shelf or calling a relative can be enough. You give generously to others, and this new Moon points back to the place you return to.

Scorpio October 23 – November 21

Your own sign will host the new Moon, which in astrology makes it a personal starting point, tied to your first house of self, body and first impressions. With the Sun also in Scorpio, you are in the middle of your own season. Think about what you want people to see when they meet you now, and what you would rather stop performing. One practical idea: write three sentences that begin with “I want…” and keep the page somewhere private. For a daily read, see your Scorpio horoscope for Friday, November 6.

Aquarius January 20 – February 18

Work and public role come into view, because the new Moon will fall in your tenth house of career and reputation, at a square to your sign. In astrology, that house describes the way others see what you do. Pluto is in Aquarius, a theme covered in the earlier piece on Pluto in Aquarius, so questions about direction may already feel familiar. One practical idea: list three things you would like to be known for, then pick one small step toward the first, such as an email you have been meaning to send or a plan you can sketch on a single page.
