This week arrives heavy with intention. A New Moon in Scorpio at 07:02 UTC on November 9 plants a seed in the darkest, most transformative corner of the zodiac—a moment for releasing what no longer serves and naming what you actually want beneath the surface. The Sun still burns at 15° to 21° Scorpio, keeping us in the realm of deep examination and unflinching truth. Mercury stations direct on November 13 at 15:53 UTC after weeks of retrograde confusion, and Venus follows suit on November 14 at 00:27 UTC, both planets turning their faces forward again. The clarity you have been waiting for begins to arrive, though it may not look like what you imagined.
Mars and Jupiter remain locked in Leo, still firing your ambitions and public moves, while Saturn holds firm in early Aries, asking you to build something real rather than just dream it. The Moon travels through Scorpio, then Sagittarius (entering at 08:35 UTC on November 10), and into Capricorn (entering at 20:27 UTC on November 12), moving you from introspection to expansion to practical accountability. This is a week for gathering courage, speaking what has been stuck in your throat, and watching what becomes possible when you finally move again.

Day by Day
November 8 (Sunday): The week begins with the Moon at 0° Scorpio in waning crescent phase, moving toward the New Moon that arrives tomorrow. Mercury still moves retrograde at 8° Scorpio, keeping communication tangled and introspective. This is a day for sitting with questions rather than forcing answers, for listening to what your gut knows even if your mind cannot yet articulate it.
November 9 (Monday): The New Moon peaks at 07:02 UTC in Scorpio at 16° 53', conjunct the Sun. This is the darkest moment of the lunar month and a profound reset point. Whatever you have been processing, grieving, or keeping hidden now has permission to transform. Mercury remains retrograde but the lunar shift opens a door you did not know existed. Begin something small, something true.
November 10 (Tuesday): The Moon enters Sagittarius at 08:35 UTC, shifting the emotional weather from introspection to restlessness and hunger. You may feel suddenly eager to move, to plan, to look ahead. Mercury still spins backward at 6° Scorpio but the forward momentum of the Moon offers relief. This is a day to let yourself want something, even if you cannot act on it yet.
November 11 (Wednesday): The Moon deepens into Sagittarius at 7° 48', and you feel the pull toward expansion, learning, and escape. Mercury crawls closer to stillness at 5° 42' Scorpio. Venus glides in late Libra, still direct but moving slowly. The contradiction between your need to move forward and forces still working backward creates productive tension—use it to refine what you actually want versus what you think you should want.
November 12 (Thursday): The Moon enters Capricorn at 20:27 UTC after moving through mid-Sagittarius at 19° 50'. The emotional temperature shifts again, from expansive to grounded and goal-focused. Mercury remains at 5° 17' Scorpio, nearly motionless before its direct station tomorrow. This is the calm before the unlock.
November 13 (Friday): Mercury stations direct at 15:53 UTC at 5° 2' Scorpio. The fog lifts. Conversations restart. Clarity arrives in Scorpio's realm—what was hidden becomes visible, what was stuck begins to move. The Moon deepens into Capricorn, keeping you focused on building something tangible. This is a day when your mind suddenly works again.
November 14 (Saturday): Venus stations direct at 00:27 UTC in Libra at 22° 51', completing the unlock. Both swift planets turn forward on the same day. The Moon reaches 13° 34' Capricorn, cementing your focus on what matters structurally. By evening, you have two planets no longer retrograde and a week of genuine forward motion ahead. This is the day you begin to move with certainty.
♈ Aries
March 21 – April 19
facing what you hide
The New Moon in Scorpio lands in your eighth house of shared resources, inheritance, and the truths you keep in shadow. Mercury retrograde has been stirring secrets in this realm, and as it stations direct on November 13, you have permission to name what you have been afraid to say about money, intimacy, or shared power. Saturn in your sign knows you are capable of this honesty. The week asks: What do you need to stop hiding?
Cosmic Homework: Name one financial or emotional boundary you have been too afraid to voice, and write it down in complete sentences.
♉ Taurus
April 20 – May 20
who you are becoming
The New Moon in Scorpio activates your seventh house of partnership and how you show up in relationships. Mercury retrograde has kept you second-guessing how you present yourself to others, but its direct station on November 13 frees you to speak your truth about what you need in a relationship—whether romantic, professional, or creative. Venus stations direct the next day in your eighth house, amplifying your power to set terms. This is a week for renegotiation.
Cosmic Homework: Identify one thing you have been willing to accept in a relationship that you no longer will, and prepare to say it.
♊ Gemini
May 21 – June 20
creative permission
The New Moon in Scorpio lands in your sixth house of daily work, health, and the small rituals that build your life. This is not a dramatic house, but it is where consistency happens. Mercury retrograde has created confusion about what your body needs or what work actually fulfills you, and as it turns direct on November 13, you gain clarity about which habits serve you and which drain you. The Moon's passage through Sagittarius and Capricorn hardens your resolve to change something. This is a week for practical shifts.
Cosmic Homework: Choose one daily habit you want to stop and one you want to start, and commit to the first day you will change.
♋ Cancer
June 21 – July 22
heart wide open
The New Moon in Scorpio ignites your fifth house of creativity, romance, and self-expression. This is where you remember who you are when no one is watching—your wildness, your desire, your unguarded heart. Mercury retrograde has kept you questioning your own desires, but on November 13 it turns direct and you suddenly know again what you want to create, who you want to love, and how you want to play. Venus stations direct the next day, amplifying your magnetic power. The week is an invitation to take yourself seriously as an artist of your own life.
Cosmic Homework: Do one creative thing this week solely because it makes you feel alive, regardless of whether it is productive or leads anywhere.
♌ Leo
July 23 – August 22
home and truth
The New Moon in Scorpio lands in your fourth house of home, family, and the foundation beneath your life. Mars and Jupiter both burn in your sign, amplifying your force, but this New Moon asks you to look at the private realm—what is happening in your family, in your space, in the roots beneath you. Mercury retrograde has created conflict or confusion about who belongs in your home or what family means, and as it stations direct on November 13, you can finally name what needs to shift. This is a week for honest conversations with the people you live with.
Cosmic Homework: Ask one family member or housemate the question you have been avoiding, and listen to their answer without defending yourself.
♍ Virgo
August 23 – September 22
speak and move
The New Moon in Scorpio activates your third house of communication, writing, and your immediate environment. Mercury retrograde has tangled your words and your thinking, but on November 13 it turns direct in Scorpio and your voice becomes sharp and true again. The Moon's movement through Sagittarius lights a fire under your desire to move, travel, or learn something new. This is a week when your mind finally works the way you want it to. Venus stations direct the next day, softening your words with presence. Write something this week—a letter, a proposal, a confession.
Cosmic Homework: Write one thing you have been too afraid or confused to say, and decide by week's end whether to send it or keep it as private witness.
♎ Libra
September 23 – October 22
what you are worth
The New Moon in Scorpio falls in your second house of resources, self-worth, and what you value. Venus is in your sign, and it stations direct on November 14—a powerful moment for you to reclaim your sense of value after weeks of second-guessing. Mercury stations direct on November 13, clarifying what money and resources actually mean to you beneath the noise. The week asks you to separate what you have been told you should want from what you genuinely value. This is a recalibration of your own worth.
Cosmic Homework: Write down five things about yourself that have nothing to do with money or achievement, and practice believing them.
♏ Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
becoming yourself
The New Moon in your sign at 07:02 UTC on November 9 is a personal reset. This is your yearly chance to begin again, to shed what no longer fits, to claim new territory in yourself. Mercury retrograde has made you question who you are, but as it stations direct on November 13, you regain certainty about your own path. The Moon moves through your sign and beyond, and by November 14 when Venus stations direct, you feel the momentum of your own becoming. This week is not about what others think—it is about what you know.
Cosmic Homework: Write the sentence "I am becoming..." and complete it with something you have never said out loud before.
♐ Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
private knowing
The New Moon in Scorpio falls in your twelfth house of the unconscious, dreams, and what happens in solitude. This is not a public moment—it is a private one. Mercury retrograde has kept you in fog, but as it stations direct on November 13, you begin to understand what your deeper self has been trying to tell you. The Moon enters your sign on November 10, shifting your mood toward expansion, but the New Moon invites you first to listen to what is stirring beneath. This is a week for journaling, therapy, or simply sitting alone with what is true.
Cosmic Homework: Spend one hour this week in complete silence, and write down the first thing that surfaces when you stop talking to yourself.
♑ Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
your people, your tribe
The New Moon in Scorpio activates your eleventh house of community, friendship, and the people who share your vision. Mercury retrograde has created confusion about who your real allies are and what groups or causes truly matter to you, but on November 13 it turns direct and you see clearly again. The Moon enters your sign on November 13, bringing a personal emphasis that sharpens your presence in your communities. This is a week to reach out to people you have been distant from and clarify what you both actually want from the friendship.
Cosmic Homework: Contact one person whose friendship has mattered to you and tell them specifically why.
♒ Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
public and professional
The New Moon in Scorpio illuminates your tenth house of career, reputation, and public standing. This is not a quiet house, and Scorpio does not do things halfway. Mercury retrograde has kept you uncertain about your direction or how you want to be known, but as it stations direct on November 13, you gain clarity about what you actually want to build professionally. Mars and Jupiter burn in Leo, amplifying your ambition. This is a week to take a strategic step toward something you have been planning.
Cosmic Homework: Take one small professional action this week that moves you toward the role or position you actually want.
♓ Pisces
February 19 – March 20
what you believe
The New Moon in Scorpio lands in your ninth house of belief, learning, and the worldview you are building. Mercury retrograde has made you question everything you thought you knew, but on November 13 it turns direct and your faith—in yourself, in your path, in what is possible—solidifies again. This is a week to absorb something new, to read the book that has been calling you, to travel mentally or physically toward an expanded understanding. Venus stations direct on November 14, softening your approach with grace. By week's end, you believe in yourself again.
Cosmic Homework: Identify one belief about yourself that no longer serves you, and choose one belief you want to practice instead.
