New Moon in Scorpio 2026
The New Moon in Scorpio falls on November 9, 2026, at 16 degrees 53 minutes of Scorpio. Mercury is retrograde in the same sign, at 6 degrees Scorpio, and Venus is retrograde in Libra. Four days later both of them station direct on the same day.
So this is a beginning that sits at the very end of a long review. Whatever you start here is being started with information you have been gathering since early October, and the release valve opens almost immediately after.
New Moon in Scorpio 2026 Dates and Chart
November 9, 2026: New Moon at 16 degrees 53 minutes of Scorpio.
The chart around it: Mercury retrograde at 6 degrees Scorpio, Venus retrograde at 23 degrees Libra, Mars at 22 degrees Leo, Jupiter at 25 degrees Leo, Saturn retrograde at 8 degrees Aries, Uranus retrograde at 4 degrees Gemini, Neptune retrograde at 1 degree Aries, and Pluto at 3 degrees Aquarius.
On November 13, four days later, Mercury stations direct at 5 degrees Scorpio and Venus stations direct at 22 degrees Libra. Two retrogrades that began three weeks apart end together.
A New Moon at the End of Two Retrogrades
Most new moons are a clean start. This one is a start placed deliberately at the bottom of a cycle, four days before two planets change direction.
Mercury has been retrograde in Scorpio since October 24, going back over conversations, information and things said or left unsaid. Venus has been retrograde since October 3, reviewing relationships, money and what you value. Both of them release on November 13.
What that produces is a new moon where the seeing is unusually good and the acting is still premature. Scorpio is comfortable with that. It is a sign that prefers to know before it moves, and this lunation gives you four more days of knowing.
The practical read: set the intention on November 9, and let it start moving on the thirteenth. That is a rare piece of clean timing and it is worth using deliberately.
What a Scorpio New Moon Asks
Scorpio governs what is shared and what is hidden: intimacy, joint resources, debt, inheritance, power between people, and everything transacted below the stated agreement. It is the sign of the thing under the thing.
A new moon here is the yearly reset for that material. It is rarely comfortable, because the reset requires knowing what you have been avoiding. Scorpio does not accept a convenient answer about what something costs you.
With Mercury retrograde in the same sign, the questions this year come with old information attached. Something you already knew and set aside is likely to be the starting point.
The Uranus Oppositions at 29 Degrees: The Breakthrough Point
While the water trine holds you gently, Uranus at 29 degrees Taurus creates a tension that brings the truth to the surface. The Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Lilith are all opposing Uranus. The anaretic degree amplifies urgency, endings, and breakthroughs.
Uranus oppositions often show up as emotional turbulence or moments of sudden clarity. This is not negative. It simply means something in your life has reached its limit and cannot move forward in its old form. Uranus brings a shift in perspective or a disruption that frees you from what has held you back.
The opposition pattern highlights:
• Emotional awakenings
• Sudden insights
• Changes in direction
• Nervous system clearing
• Timeline shifts
• Honest conversations
• Breaking outdated patterns
This is breakthrough energy. You might feel restless, sensitive, or aware of something that needs to shift. Trust the process. The water trine makes the release safer, softer, and more supportive.
Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune Support the Transformation
Jupiter in Cancer forms a perfect trine to Saturn and Neptune in Pisces. This adds spiritual depth and emotional protection to the entire New Moon. Jupiter expands, Saturn stabilizes, and Neptune softens. Together, they create a long-term healing pattern that helps you rebuild on a foundation that supports you.
This pattern encourages:
• Releasing old emotional cycles
• Building healthier boundaries
• Returning to faith and purpose
• Strengthening intuition
• Trusting your inner voice
• Forgiving what has already passed
This is a moment when clarity and healing work together.
Venus Trine the South Node: Ending Old Love Patterns
Venus in Scorpio trines the Pisces South Node. This is a powerful aspect for anyone revisiting old relationship dynamics, emotional wounds, or patterns of overgiving. It supports clearing karmic debris and reclaiming emotional sovereignty.
This is a good time to reflect on:
• What you have been carrying for others
• What you have been sacrificing
• Where you have been overextending
• The truth about your needs
• Which relationship patterns you are ready to release
This New Moon wants you to build relationships based on truth.
Mars Square the Nodes: Choosing Your Path Forward
Mars in Sagittarius squares the Nodes. This pushes you toward action that aligns with your truth. Mars in Sagittarius is direct and honest. It pushes you to make choices that reflect who you are becoming.
This aspect is energizing and clarifying. It helps you cut through avoidance and step into your next chapter with confidence.
How to Work With This Scorpio New Moon
• Sit with your emotions without rushing to fix them.
• Journal what you are ready to release.
• Trust your intuition even if it surprises you.
• Let old patterns surface. Let them go.
• Set intentions that come from clarity.
• Rest. Scorpio work is deep.
This is a beautiful New Moon for deep healing, emotional truth, and spiritual renewal. The water trine holds you through every step of the process.

New Moon in Scorpio 2026 by Rising Sign
Where this lands depends on your rising sign. These use whole sign houses.
New Moon in Scorpio 2026 for Aries Rising
The 8th house takes this new moon, so shared resources, intimacy and every unstated term are in play. Joint money, a debt, a partner’s income, an arrangement that has been running on habit. Mercury is retrograde right here, which means the conversation reopens with something you already discussed once. Venus is retrograde in your 7th house of partnership at the same time, putting the relationship itself under review. Both release on November 13, so set the terms now and sign them after.
New Moon in Scorpio 2026 for Taurus Rising
This one lands in your 7th house of partnership, directly opposite your rising sign, which makes it your yearly relationship reset and the most pointed one you get. Venus is your ruler and she is retrograde in your 6th house of work and routine, so the partnership question is tangled up with the daily one. Who does what, and whether the arrangement is fair in practice as well as in principle.
New Moon in Scorpio 2026 for Gemini Rising
Work, routine and health are the 6th house material, and this new moon arrives there. Scorpio wants the honest version of how your days are going, including the part you have been managing around. Mercury is your ruler and it is retrograde in this very house, so you are already reviewing it whether you meant to or not. Uranus is retrograde in Gemini on your rising sign too. Between them, this is genuine rebuilding, well past adjustment.
New Moon in Scorpio 2026 for Cancer Rising
Creativity, romance, children and play all live in the 5th house, which is where this lands. Scorpio brings intensity along with it, so whatever you make now carries some weight. Mercury retrograde here means returning to an unfinished creative project is both more likely and more productive than starting something new. Mars and Jupiter are both in Leo in your 2nd house, so there is money energy running alongside the creative pull.
New Moon in Scorpio 2026 for Leo Rising
This new moon is in your 4th house of home, family and foundation. Scorpio goes straight at what the family does not discuss, and a new moon turns that into a beginning. Mercury retrograde in this house often brings a family conversation back around for another pass. Mars and Jupiter are both sitting on your rising sign this season, so you have more force than usual available. Worth using it gently at home.
New Moon in Scorpio 2026 for Virgo Rising
Communication, learning and your immediate environment belong to the 3rd house, and that is where this arrives. Scorpio makes the talking deeper and a lot less casual. Mercury is your ruler and it is retrograde in this house, which is a strong double signature: your own way of thinking under review, inside the house that governs thinking. Write things down. Whatever you draft now will read differently after the thirteenth.
New Moon in Scorpio 2026 for Libra Rising
Money, possessions and self-worth are the 2nd house, and this new moon falls there for you. Scorpio asks what you value once the polite answer is set aside. Venus is your ruler, she is retrograde on your own rising sign, and she turns direct on November 13. So the planet governing your worth is reviewing you personally while the lunation resets your relationship to money. Wait the four days before you set a price.
New Moon in Scorpio 2026 for Scorpio Rising
This lands right on your own rising sign in the 1st house, which makes it your yearly reset and the most personal one you get. Appearance, manner, how you arrive, what you are willing to be known for. Mercury retrograde in Scorpio means you are rethinking how you describe yourself at the same time, and it stations direct on November 13. Begin on the ninth and let the description settle afterwards.
New Moon in Scorpio 2026 for Sagittarius Rising
Your 12th house takes this one, the least visible part of your chart, which makes it the quietest new moon of your year. Rest, solitude, and material operating below your own notice. Scorpio in the 12th is a heavy combination, and Mercury retrograde there means old thoughts resurface without any obvious trigger. Nothing you build now will look like much from the outside. The Sun reaches your 1st house shortly after.
New Moon in Scorpio 2026 for Capricorn Rising
Friendship, networks and the future you are heading toward all sit in the 11th house, which is where this new moon arrives. Scorpio gets discerning about who is genuinely in your corner. Mercury retrograde in this house often brings someone back into contact. Saturn, your ruler, is retrograde in Aries in your 4th house, so home and foundation are under revision as well. Choose company that does not require managing.
New Moon in Scorpio 2026 for Aquarius Rising
This one is in your 10th house of career and public standing, the most visible point in your chart. Scorpio asks what your work costs you and what it is genuinely worth. Mercury retrograde here means a professional conversation reopens. Pluto sits at 3 degrees Aquarius on your rising sign and turned direct recently, so whatever you decide about your public life now has unusual staying power.
New Moon in Scorpio 2026 for Pisces Rising
Belief, travel, higher learning and meaning are the 9th house, and this new moon falls there. Scorpio takes a framework apart to see what has been holding it up. Mercury retrograde in this house returns you to something you studied, believed, or planned before. Neptune is your ruler and it is retrograde in Aries in your 2nd house, so a question about worth runs underneath the question about meaning.
This new moon follows the Taurus full moon on October 26, sitting directly across from it. The next full moon lands in Gemini on November 24, and what a Gemini full moon asks for is a different job entirely.
