New Moon in Scorpio November 2026: Date & Intentions

The November 2026 new moon occurs on November 9 at 07:02 UTC, near 16°53′ Scorpio in the tropical zodiac. In Los Angeles, it falls late on November 8. In New York and London, it is already November 9.

Astrologers often use a new moon as a symbolic starting point. In Scorpio, the themes commonly involve trust, privacy, shared resources, and emotional honesty. You can turn those ideas into a small, realistic intention without treating the lunar cycle as a guarantee that a wish will come true.

This guide separates the date, the astronomical event, and the reflective practice so you can use each on its own terms.

Location	Local date and time
UTC	November 9, 07:02
Los Angeles	November 8, 11:02 p.m. PST
New York	November 9, 2:02 a.m. EST
London	November 9, 7:02 a.m. GMT

These conversions account for the end of daylight saving time in the listed cities. The event itself happens at the same moment worldwide. A calendar showing November 8 and another showing November 9 may simply use different time zones.

The date and degree appear in Neyora's November 2026 ephemeris. Cafe Astrology's 2026 lunar calendar independently lists the same event at 2:02 a.m. Eastern Standard Time.

At a new moon, the Moon is near the Sun's direction in our sky, and its sunlit half faces mostly away from Earth. The exact new moon is generally not visible as a bright disk. A visible thin crescent belongs to a neighboring stage of the cycle.

The Moon's phase cycle takes about 29.5 days. NASA's Moon phases guide explains why that differs from the time the Moon takes to complete an orbit around Earth.

“In Scorpio” is the tropical astrological zodiac position used here. It should not be read as a statement that the Moon must lie inside the boundaries of the astronomical Scorpio constellation.

Scorpio symbolism asks what lies beneath an arrangement's surface. A relationship may appear calm while important expectations remain unspoken. A shared budget may work until someone has a different understanding of what counts as a shared expense.

An intention suited to those themes might be to make one agreement explicit. That is different from deciding the new moon will reveal a secret or cause a major turning point. The first is something you can choose to do; the second is an outcome the calendar cannot establish.

Try asking: What would become easier if I stopped relying on an unspoken assumption?

The answer might concern a partner, a friend, a housemate, or your own habits. Scorpio themes do not have to become a relationship drama to be useful.

Consider three common intentions and a more workable version of each.

Broad intention	Action you can review
“I want more trust.”	Ask for a conversation about one agreement that has become unclear.
“I want to release fear.”	Name one uncertainty and identify what information would help you assess it.
“I want financial security.”	List recurring shared payments and confirm who is responsible for each.

The practical version is not supposed to capture every feeling. It gives you an action that can be completed and a result you can observe.

For example, “I will talk to my housemate about the utility bill by Sunday” is more useful than “I will stop attracting unfair situations.” It identifies an actual arrangement and avoids turning another person's behavior into a judgment about your thoughts.

Set aside fifteen minutes somewhere you can think without interruption. You do not need a purchase, a particular crystal, or an exact ritual time.

Write one sentence describing the situation as it is. Keep it factual: “We have not agreed on how to split this expense.” Then write what you want to understand and the next step you can take.

Choose a review date about a week later. At that review, ask what you learned and whether the action helped. If the issue needs more time or support, adjust the plan rather than treating the result as proof that you performed a ritual incorrectly.

You can keep the practice entirely private. Do not include another person's sensitive details in a public intention post.

Mercury and Venus are both retrograde at this new moon. Mercury stations direct on November 13 at 15:53 UTC. Venus follows on November 14 at 00:27 UTC, which is November 13 in much of the Americas.

Astrologers may interpret this overlap as a time to revisit communication and relationship agreements. It is not a reason to stop necessary conversations or wait for a planetary station to solve a problem.

If a decision has an actual deadline, use the available information and appropriate advice. For the full sequence, see the 2026 Mercury and Venus retrograde guide and retrograde calendar.

If you want a personal astrological layer, locate approximately 16°53′ Scorpio in your birth chart. Note the house and any nearby natal placements, using a consistent zodiac and house system.

Start with the birth chart calculator. If your birth time is uncertain, use the unknown birth time guide before making specific house interpretations. You can still use the reflection prompts without assigning the event to a house.
