Welcome to your daily horoscope for November 9, 2026, a true fresh start. At 2:02am EST the Sun and Moon met in an exact conjunction at 16°53′ Scorpio, giving us the New Moon in Scorpio. A New Moon is the start of the lunar cycle, the moment to plant a seed, and Scorpio gives that seed depth. This isn’t about a long list of resolutions. It’s about one honest promise to yourself about what you are ready to transform, release, or finally claim. The Moon is in its darkest phase, with just 0.3% of its face lit (essentially 0% by sunrise in the US), so the sky is perfect for quiet reflection.
Retrograde Mercury sits nearby at 7° Scorpio, which gives this New Moon a reflective, “re-” flavor: revisit, reconsider, reconnect. Through the afternoon and evening, the newborn Moon squares Mars (around 1:46pm EST) and then Jupiter (around 6:32pm EST) in Leo, a push to turn a private intention into something visible. Meanwhile, retrograde Venus in Libra is building toward an exact sextile with Mars, which perfects early tomorrow. Here’s what this Scorpio New Moon means for your sign.
Best Time to Act
The Sun-Moon conjunction perfected overnight at 2:02am EST, so by the time most of you wake up, the New Moon is already separating. That means the energy peaks early. Use the morning for your intention-setting ritual, journaling, or a single brave decision. The applying Moon squares to Mars and Jupiter build in the afternoon and evening, so save the evening for calm follow-through rather than big confrontations. Venus sextile Mars is still applying and turns exact early tomorrow, which softens any friction.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Today’s New Moon in Scorpio falls in your 8th house of transformation, shared resources, and intimacy, Aries. This is a powerful reset for anything you share with another person, from a joint bank account to emotional trust. Your ruler Mars is in Leo in your 5th house of romance and creativity, applying to a conjunction with Jupiter that perfects on November 16. When the Moon squares Mars around 1:46pm EST, you may feel a tug between what you want to enjoy and what you need to deal with. Handle the serious item first and the fun will feel earned. Mars is also building toward an exact sextile with retrograde Venus in your 7th house of partnerships, so a sincere conversation with a partner can clear the air before tomorrow.
In love, ask for what you need with warmth instead of pressure. For career and money, today is a strong day to review debts, shared costs, or a loan and set one clear financial goal. Saturn and Neptune, both retrograde in your 1st house, ask you to slow down and rest. Health-wise, a gentle stretch and an early night will serve you better than an intense workout.
