What does this mean?
On November 9, 2026 at 08:02 (CET), the New Moon falls in Scorpio. Sun and Moon line up exactly, and the night sky has no Moon in it. In astrology this is the month's seed point: you plant something new quietly, long before anything shows above ground. This time Scorpio colors that beginning.
What does the Moon mean?
Your Moon is the inner life: moods, habits, home. It tells what feeds you, what triggers you, and how you get back to feeling safe when everything gets too noisy, whether that's tea on the sofa or a call to your sister. The Sun describes the person you want to be. The Moon is who you are with no one looking, down to your reflexes, longings and dreams.
What does the New Moon mean?
New Moon: the Sun and Moon stand together, so the Moon is invisible from Earth. Think of it as planting, not harvesting. A good time to start something small and quietly, like the first page of a new notebook.
What does Scorpio mean?
Scorpio goes deep: power, intimacy, truths that aren't pleasant. It stays where others walk away and wants to know what's under the surface. Where Scorpio is active, nothing gets prettied up. Things get transformed instead. One theme ends, and another comes back stripped to its core.
New Moon in Scorpio
A New Moon in Scorpio begins something deep down, out of sight. Maybe a decision you tell no one yet, far from finished, growing the way Scorpio opens.
What it means for your zodiac sign?
A short reading for each sun sign. You feel the moment most where it hits a point in your own chart directly.
Aries
As Aries, you will probably pick up the undertones more than the main tune. They are quiet and can still be useful. The focus is your feelings, home and needs: something new can begin quietly now. Fire signs often get going by doing. Pick one small action for the day that you will actually finish.
Taurus
As Taurus, you might get a nudge that feels awkward at first. Check whether it takes you somewhere useful later on. This moment shines a light on your feelings, home and needs, and something new can begin quietly now. Earth signs usually want something they can hold. Turn the impulse into one practical step.
Gemini
For Gemini this mostly happens in the background. Rather than an upheaval, maybe one small thing shifts. These days, look closely at your feelings, home and needs, since something new can begin quietly now. Air signs like to sort their thoughts in words. Tell someone what is shifting, or write it down.
Cancer
For Cancer, a moment like this often just rolls along, like a tailwind on a bike ride. Where does something come easier right now? The focus is your feelings, home and needs: something new can begin quietly now. With water signs, feelings often speak first. Take a quiet moment and listen to what they are saying.
Leo

This moment shines a light on your feelings, home and needs, and something new can begin quietly now. Fire signs often get going by doing.

Virgo

New Moon in Scorpio 2026 by the numbers
At 08:02 (CET) the Moon arrives at 16°53' Scorpio, on the same degree as the Sun. Astrologers date the new moon in Scorpio to this very moment. Conjunction just means the Sun and Moon share one degree. The Sun then lights the far side of the Moon, so from Earth you cannot see it at all.

The full moon in Gemini follows about two weeks later, on November 24, 2026. It marks the other pole of the lunar cycle. You will have to wait until October 29, 2027 for the next new moon in Scorpio.
The Scorpio sign profile covers what Scorpio stands for: its element, modality and ruling planet. The 2026 astrology calendar lists every date of the year, and the page next new moon gathers the new moons still to come. The moon phase calculator works out which phase was in the sky on the day you were born.
How to read the data
- Moon position: the degree the Moon sits on at the exact moment. Every sign runs from 0° at its start to 29° at its end.
- Opposite lunation: this is the coming full moon, where the cycle reaches its height.
- A small test: on the evening of November 9, jot down one sentence about what seemed clearer to you that day. Dig the note out again at the full moon on November 24, 2026 and reread it.
How often is there a new moon in Scorpio?
Roughly once a year. Between 1900 and 2100 we count 203 new moons in Scorpio, with two in 2 of those years.
At a new moon, Sun and Moon sit at the same point. So a new moon in Scorpio can only happen while the Sun itself is in Scorpio, which almost always means October and November.
Counting every sign, a year holds 12.37 new moons. One lunar cycle takes 29.5 days, a little less than a calendar month, which leaves room for a thirteenth about every 2.7 years.
