The Scorpio New Moon Is Calling Out These 4 Signs: Here’s What It’s Asking

The new moon in Scorpio takes place on November 9 at 2:02 a.m. EST. This occurs during Mercury retrograde (also in Scorpio) and square to the Mars-Jupiter alignment in Leo. If you’ve been a little under the weather, you can thank Jupiter for the rapid speed-up of illnesses. With all the retrograde energy, it’s no surprise we’ve all been stressed more than usual, which puts a strain on our immune systems, making us more susceptible to illness. We know Leo is a noisy sign, so you’ll be feeling it this flu season.

Mercury has been hanging over all our heads, and we’ll be so thankful when it finally goes direct on November 13. First, we have to survive the new moon. New moons are not really known for hardship. This is a time for fresh starts. Scorpio is a wonderful sign to be in for deep reflective work and zeroing in on your desires.

A lot of things have been revealed to you over the last month, and that has set the stage for how you want to move forward. This is an opportunity to rid ourselves fully of the things that no longer serve us: the “junk,” if you will, that we hang onto. It blocks our ability to invite in something even better. Scorpio as a sign rules intimacy, power, and money. This dynamic around control is positive energy to put around personal goal-setting; just be mindful of how tightly you hold onto those goals. You need to leave room for shifting expectations. Change is important in life, and it’s time to start implementing the lessons, don’t you think?

It is often hard to see the path forward through the discomfort that reflecting can bring. The past should be motivation for new beginnings versus holding you firmly in stagnation. Just be careful of the struggles you pick. It is already hard without your making it harder because you’re choosing to stay stuck in a narrative that no longer offers you anything in return.

With the moon sitting in Scorpio at 16 degrees, anyone with major placements at 10 to 19 degrees of Scorpio, Taurus, Leo, and Aquarius will be highly affected by this transit.

What Does the Scorpio New Moon Mean for Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius?

Scorpio: The new moon is sitting in your sign. Emotions are running high, but you more than likely feel very self-assured. Try not to lean into your self-destructive tendencies. With the moon being square to your planetary ruler, Mars, there is a lot of friction inside you, but you know the lower the low, the higher the high is. It’s about staying the course. You don’t always have this level of motivation, but you are a force to be reckoned with during this period. If you can dream it, you can have it. No apologizing along the way, as we’re seeking affirmations only. This is your transit during your season to really ask fully for what you want. No holding back and no getting in your own way. Let go a little.

Taurus: This new moon is going to teach you your true value. You’ve been feeling a bit underappreciated. You can only forgive so much before you need to see actual results. It’s giving that the actions don’t match the words, and you’re quite tired of that. Take back your power during this transit. It is all about quality for you going forward.

Leo: It just hasn’t been a good time for you. The frustration and friction you’ve been feeling have been stealing from your “light.” Usually, you’re the shiniest thing in a room, and people around you have decided to mess with that sense of self. It is not wrong to take up space, but are you giving back? You often shine brighter in service of others. How can you be more purposeful and connected in your relationship? Consider carefully.

Aquarius: This new moon in Scorpio has you feeling the need to be a bit more social. This is a good time to engage with the people around you to help you toward your goal. You prefer more of the solo approach, but that can only take you so far. Release your fears around being “too much,” as that’s never been the case. You have a different viewpoint, but that’s not really a bad thing. You will succeed at whatever you are working toward. Remember that you don’t always have to do that alone.
