The Astrology Behind the New Moon
The November New Moon arrives on 9th, 8:02 AM CET, at 17° Scorpio. This is a very secret and misterious and New Moon, full of inner power and potential. You can hear it in the Sabian symbol for this degree: “A woman is expecting a child. The strange thing is that she conceived through her own spirit or desire.”
The image speaks of complete self-reliance, of the creative power within you and the way an idea takes form. You may be carrying the beginnings of a new chapter, a creative work, or a business. The symbol invites you to trust your inner voice and your own magnetism. The New Moon forms in the twelfth house, the house of secrets, inner strength, and alchemy.
Mercury is retrograde at 7° Scorpio, in the same sign as the Sun and Moon.

Nearby, Venus is also retrograde, at 24° Libra, in the sign it rules. The pull inward grows stronger. What understanding, love, and strength can you draw from the past?
About Venus retrogrograde you’ll find here:
Mars and Jupiter are moving toward a conjunction in Leo, close to the South Node. There’s a great deal of creative energy here. Give it something worthy to do.
About Jupiter in Leo find out here:
Mars and Jupiter, along with Pluto in Aquarius, form tense aspects to the New Moon conjunction. So take extra care on the road, steer clear of conflict, and keep your composure if someone tries to provoke you. A harmonious aspect between Mars and a strong Venus favors romance and can help you restore harmony in your relationship.
There are several harmonious aspects in the sky, including a minor grand trine involving Pluto, Uranus, and Neptune with Saturn. This is more of a backdrop, a collective influence. The New Moon conjunction and the sign of Scorpio are under more pressure.
Take time to recognize your inner strength, work with it, and let it grow quietly. Give it at least until November 13, when Mercury and Venus turn direct, before you bring it out into the open.
This is a moment when deep alchemy can take place. When your intentions and decisions carry real power. Honor that energy. Recognize it in yourself. Trust what you feel before anyone else confirms it. The degree of this New Moon speaks to that, too.
Leave room for a miracle in your life. Or perhaps the better word is find room. Find room to shape your own reality, to bring into being what you can already sense within you. That takes spiritual strength. It takes faith in the creator within you and a decision to be that creator. What takes shape in the world begins with a decision you make within yourself and the strength you gather behind it.
This New Moon is a wonderful time for spiritual practice, for reclaiming the courage to dream and create, and for trusting yourself to do it.

Themes of the New Moon in Scorpio
Inner strength, magic, challenges, extreme situations, business, secrets, and money.

How to Welcome the New Moon in Scorpio?
The New Moon forms in the morning in Europe (08:02 AM Central European time). If you can, give yourself a little space so you can wake up without having to rush. Take a quiet moment to come back to yourself and feel what you truly need. Quiet self-confidence and a sense of being enough in yourself are worth carrying into the next lunar cycle.
Make plans for your work or business. Dream a little. Write down the ideas that come to you. Give yourself time before you share them. Some ideas need silence so you can hear what you really want from them.
Drive with a little extra care. If someone tries to throw you off balance, respond calmly. Perhaps with a mysterious Scorpio smile.
It’s a good time for spiritual practices, energy work, or martial arts. Choose something that helps you gather your strength and stay calm. In love, there’s a chance to reconnect with your partner or deepen the bond you already share. Maybe all it takes is an honest conversation. Or maybe you’ll want to plan a romantic date and bring a little more passion into the relationship.
Make your own New Moon ritual. Light a candle. Sit in silence. Write down what you want to nurture in the cycle ahead. This is a time for your inner magic.
You might find the courage you need in a movie, a book, or a quiet conversation with yourself.
