Weekly Astrology: November 8–14 — The Scorpio New Moon, a Deeper Understanding & Beginning to Move Forward
This week feels like an important turning point in the conversations we have been having with ourselves and with each other.
We begin with a New Moon in Scorpio, asking us to look honestly at what we are ready to begin, what we are ready to change, and what we may still be holding onto underneath it all. Jupiter then meets the South Node in Leo on Wednesday, followed by Mars on Saturday, both opposing the North Node in Aquarius. In between those two contacts, Mercury and Venus station direct on Friday. So we have several important turning points woven together: a new beginning, a change in direction, and an opportunity to recognize what we are ready to carry forward from the past.
But let’s take a big step back first.
Scorpio is asking us to look deeply. Leo is asking us to come back to our heart, our courage, and what makes us feel alive. Libra is asking us to consider the balance and fairness in our relationships. And Aquarius is bringing in the bigger picture: how we fit into the whole, how our choices affect others, and what kind of future we want to participate in creating.
So the conversation is still very much about who we are, what we love, and how we bring that into relationship with the world. This week, though, we may be getting a better understanding of what has been underneath some of those questions. And with that understanding, we can begin to make different choices.
Dates and times below are Mountain Standard Time. I use the mean lunar Node and whole sign houses. Apart from the New Moon itself, I’m keeping the Moon’s daily coverage to its changes of sign.
A major thread this week — Jupiter and Mars activate the Nodes
The Jupiter and Mars contacts with the Nodes deserve some extra attention, because they connect what is happening this week with a much larger story. The Nodes are always opposite one another, so a conjunction with the South Node is also an opposition to the North Node. We are working with both sides of the Leo–Aquarius conversation at once.
If we start with the basics, the South Node can describe what is already familiar: old gifts, developed skills, people and experiences from the past, and patterns we may have outgrown. The North Node describes an area of growth and new learning, which can feel less comfortable simply because we have not practiced it as much.
With the South Node in Leo, something we already carry in our heart may be ready to find another expression. An old creative talent, a passion, or a part of ourselves we put aside could become relevant again. With the North Node in Aquarius, we may be asked to look outside the box about where that gift belongs and who it could reach.
So a turning point could arrive through something that feels surprisingly familiar. Perhaps an old opportunity returns, but we can now approach it with more wisdom. Perhaps a person recognizes a gift we have been taking for granted. Or perhaps we are able to let something go with more ease than we expected, making room for a different future.
Jupiter can help us see the opportunity, the blessing, or the larger meaning. Mars can bring the courage and motivation to do something with it. Together, they may help us move from recognizing a possibility to participating in it. These contacts are often described as karmic or fated in nodal astrology; I would pay attention to what feels meaningful and connected to a longer story, while still giving ourselves room to choose how we respond.
And the Aquarius side matters just as much. How does what brings us joy connect us with others? Are we willing to share the spotlight, receive a different perspective, or bring an old skill into a community we would not have considered before? We may be discovering that there is another way to belong without leaving our heart behind.
Watch what begins opening, what is returning, and what becomes easier to release around these contacts. The turning point may be an external opportunity, an important decision, or an inner realization that changes what we are willing to pursue. It does not have to arrive dramatically to become significant over time.
Sunday, November 8 — Giving ourselves room to notice
We enter the week with the Moon already in Scorpio. It entered this sign on Saturday, so Sunday is a day to settle into that emotional focus before the New Moon.
We may find ourselves wanting a little more privacy or feeling less interested in conversations that stay on the surface. Something we have been setting aside may be asking for our attention. Perhaps we notice a feeling before we can explain why it is there.
With Mercury and Venus still retrograde, we are continuing to reconsider things. Try to give yourself a little room to notice what keeps coming up. What are you learning about your needs? What have you been trying to understand? What are you beginning to see differently?
We do not have to turn every feeling into a decision today. Sometimes allowing ourselves to acknowledge it is where the next step begins.
Monday, November 9 — A New Moon in Scorpio
The New Moon is exact just after midnight, around 12:01 a.m. Mountain Time, at approximately 16 degrees 52 minutes of Scorpio. So today is our New Moon day, and I want to spend a little extra time with it.
Let’s build this layer by layer.
First, what is a New Moon?
A New Moon is when the Sun and Moon come together in the same place in the zodiac. The Sun can describe our conscious awareness, our vitality, and the direction we are growing into. The Moon brings in our emotions, our needs, and what helps us feel secure.
When they meet, we have an opportunity to bring those things into conversation. What do we want to move toward, and what do we need in order to feel able to do that?
We often talk about New Moons as times to set intentions. And they can be. But sometimes an intention starts with recognizing something we have not been willing to admit to ourselves yet. Before we know exactly what we want to create, we may need to understand why the way we have been doing something no longer feels right.
Now let’s bring in Scorpio
Scorpio is a fixed water sign. Water brings us into feeling, intimacy, and the things we experience underneath the words. The fixed quality can give us the ability to stay with something deeply, but it can also make it difficult to loosen our grip once we have decided something is necessary for our security.
Scorpio can describe trust, vulnerability, transformation, and our willingness to see what is really happening. It asks us to look at the places where love and fear, closeness and control, or support and obligation may have become tangled together.
Do we allow ourselves to be known? Do we trust someone enough to tell them what we need? Do we try to manage the outcome so carefully that the other person never gets a chance to respond honestly?
And how much of that began as a way to protect ourselves?
There can be a lot of grace in asking that last question. We can recognize that a pattern helped us through something and still realize that we want another way of relating now.
Scorpio can also bring our attention to the vulnerability involved in sharing resources. What happens when our money, our responsibilities, or our future plans are tied to somebody else’s? What agreements make that feel supportive, and which ones need another conversation? The specific area of life will depend on where Scorpio falls in your own chart.
A new beginning while Mercury is still retrograde
Mercury is still retrograde in Scorpio at this New Moon. So our thinking, our conversations, and the information we are working with are still in a period of review.
Perhaps a conversation from the past makes more sense now. Perhaps we understand why a financial arrangement has felt uncomfortable. Or perhaps we realize we have been asking for reassurance when what we actually need is a clearer agreement.
Last week’s Mercury cazimi may have brought a piece of understanding. This New Moon gives us a chance to sit with what that understanding asks of us emotionally.
Can we begin something while we are still figuring it out? I think we can. We can begin by telling ourselves the truth. We can ask a better question, gather the information, or make a small change that reflects what we know today.
There is room to let the plan develop as the rest becomes clearer.
Scorpio’s ruler brings Leo into the conversation
Traditionally, Mars rules Scorpio. Modern astrology also associates Scorpio with Pluto. For this New Moon, I want to pay particular attention to Mars, because its placement adds so much to the story.
Mars is in Leo, the sign of heart, courage, creativity, and being seen. Mars describes our drive, our motivation, our anger, and how we go after what we want.
So underneath this Scorpio New Moon, we may find questions about how safe it feels to want something deeply and actually pursue it.
What if we share the work and nobody responds? What if we tell somebody what matters to us and they do not understand? What if changing an old pattern means somebody is disappointed with us?
There is also a traditional connection here called mutual reception by sign: Mars is in Leo, which is ruled by the Sun, while the Sun is in Scorpio, which is ruled by Mars. The two are operating in each other’s signs. That links our direction and our actions, even when there is tension between them.
And there is tension. The New Moon is in a broad square to Mars in Leo, with Jupiter farther along in Leo as well. These are broad aspects in the New Moon chart, with the closer contact to Mars carrying more emphasis.
We may feel the difference between wanting to protect something tender and wanting to put ourselves out there. Or between needing time to process and feeling that we should already be doing more.
Perhaps we want recognition, but being truly seen feels vulnerable. Perhaps we want intimacy, but we also want to control what the other person gets to know.
Notice where that tension shows up for you. It may be pointing toward the very thing your intention needs to make room for.
What might we plant with this New Moon?
I would start with something honest and specific.
Maybe your intention is to ask for support before you reach the point of resentment. Maybe it is to look clearly at a shared financial agreement. Maybe it is to give yourself permission to create something without first knowing how it will be received.
Or perhaps it is simply: I am willing to understand this pattern more deeply, and I am willing to practice another way.
Some questions to sit with today:
- What am I holding onto because it feels familiar, even though it no longer feels supportive?
- What do I need to say honestly, first to myself and then, perhaps, to somebody else?
- Where am I confusing being in control with feeling secure?
- What do I want to nurture that requires a little more trust or courage from me?
Choose the question that speaks to you. You do not need to uncover every layer of your life in one sitting.
Late Monday — Venus in Libra sextile Mars in Leo
Late Monday night, around 11:47 p.m. Mountain Time, Venus in Libra sextiles Mars in Leo near 23 degrees. Calendars using Eastern Time or UTC will place this on November 10.
Venus brings in our relationships, our values, our pleasure, and what we find beautiful. Mars brings in our desire and our willingness to act. With Venus in Libra and Mars in Leo, there may be an opening to bring fairness and affection together with courage and self-expression.
Perhaps we find a warmer way to say something difficult. Perhaps we feel encouraged to revisit a creative idea, reach out to someone, or make a little more room for enjoyment within a relationship.
Venus is still retrograde, so this may involve an old desire or a different understanding of something familiar. A sextile offers an opportunity we can participate in. We might have to make the invitation, have the conversation, or actually set aside the time.
Can we pursue what matters to us while also being interested in what matters to the other person? This is a lovely aspect to practice that.
Tuesday, November 10 — The Moon enters Sagittarius
The Moon enters Sagittarius around 1:36 a.m. Mountain Time, shifting our emotional attention toward perspective, possibility, and the bigger picture.
After spending time in Scorpio’s depth, we may want to understand what it all means. What have we learned? What possibilities are opening? Is there a different way to look at something we thought we already understood?
Sagittarius can help us find hope and a sense of direction. Give yourself room to explore an idea, learn something, or talk with somebody whose perspective widens your own.
We can allow ourselves to feel encouraged without needing to have the entire future figured out.
Wednesday, November 11 — Jupiter and the Nodes: an opportunity to grow from what we already carry
Jupiter conjuncts the mean South Node in Leo today, opposing the North Node in Aquarius around 25 degrees. This is the alignment we began talking about last week.
Let’s start with the signs again.
Leo is about our heart, our creativity, our courage, and the part of us that wants to express something that is uniquely ours. Aquarius brings in the collective, our communities, different perspectives, and how individual people participate in something larger.
The South Node can describe familiar territory, gifts we have already developed, and patterns we may be ready to release. Jupiter brings expansion, wisdom, generosity, and the ability to see possibility.
So this could be a time when an old gift finds a new purpose. Something we have learned through experience may suddenly be useful to somebody else. An opportunity could reconnect us with a part of ourselves we had almost forgotten.
It may also help us see where a familiar way of seeking appreciation has become more effort than nourishment. Are we sharing something because we love it? Or do we feel we have to keep proving that we deserve a place?
There can be blessings here, but I would leave room for them to arrive in different forms. Sometimes receiving support is the blessing. Sometimes recognizing that we no longer have to carry a particular role creates an opening we did not know we needed.
This is a beautiful week to notice what you already have to offer. What comes naturally to you because you have spent years learning it? How might that gift become part of a different community or a new future?
This is also part of a longer story. Using the mean Node, Jupiter returns to this alignment on March 1 and April 19, 2027. We have time to see how the possibilities develop.
Thursday, November 12 — The Moon enters Capricorn
The Moon enters Capricorn around 1:27 p.m. Mountain Time, bringing our emotional focus toward responsibility, structure, and what we can build.
After the New Moon’s reflection and Sagittarius’ wider perspective, Capricorn asks what we are going to do with it. What is the practical next step? What needs a plan, a boundary, or a more realistic commitment?
We may feel better when something has a place on the calendar or when a responsibility is more clearly defined. Choose a manageable piece. A small plan we can follow through on may feel more supportive than an ambitious promise made while we are overwhelmed.
And as we move toward Friday’s stations, give yourself permission to move deliberately. We can be responsible without demanding that we have everything resolved by the end of the day.
Friday, November 13 — Mercury and Venus both station direct
This is the other big turning point of the week.
Mercury stations direct in Scorpio in the morning, around 8:54 a.m. Mountain Time. Venus stations direct in Libra later in the day, around 5:27 p.m.
We have been reviewing two closely connected parts of life: how we understand and communicate, and what we value and how we relate. Now both planets are beginning to move forward again.
Let’s look at them separately first, then bring them together.
Mercury direct in Scorpio — Giving our understanding somewhere to go
Mercury stations direct around 5 degrees of Scorpio, after being retrograde since October 24.
Mercury describes our thinking, our conversations, the information we exchange, and how we make sense of what is happening. In Scorpio, the review may have involved difficult conversations, trust, private information, emotional patterns, or something we wanted to understand more deeply.
What have you realized over these past few weeks? Was there an assumption that needed questioning? A conversation that needed another look? Did you find words for something you had been feeling but could not explain?
As Mercury turns direct, we may begin to see how to use what we have learned. A conversation may resume with a different understanding. A plan may become easier to revise. Information we were missing may start to fill in.
A station is a slow turning point, though. Mercury does not immediately move at full speed, and clarity does not have to arrive all at once. If something still feels muddled, ask another question. If an agreement matters, confirm the details.
Mercury will travel through its post-retrograde shadow until November 30. That gives us another pass through the territory we have been reviewing, this time with the benefit of what we know now.
Venus direct in Libra — Living according to what we value
Venus stations direct around 22 degrees 52 minutes of Libra, after a retrograde that began in Scorpio on October 3.
That journey matters. Venus began the review in Scorpio, bringing us into the depth and vulnerability of relationships, money, attachment, and trust. She then moved back into Libra, asking us to look at fairness, balance, agreements, and how we actually treat one another.
What have we learned about what we value? Have we noticed a difference between the relationships we say we want and the patterns we keep participating in?
Perhaps we realized we have been keeping the peace by not saying what we need. Perhaps we saw where we wanted someone to appreciate us without offering that same attention in return. Or perhaps we began reconsidering how we value our time, our work, and the things we create.
Venus is in a sign she rules in Libra. There is support here for listening, negotiating, appreciating beauty, and finding an arrangement that considers more than one person.
As she turns direct, we can begin putting those insights into practice. That might be a different agreement, a clearer price, a decision about a relationship, or making time for something we rediscovered that brings us joy.
Venus remains in her post-retrograde shadow until December 15. So we are still working through the larger story, with another opportunity to understand what we want to carry forward.
Now bring Mercury and Venus together
Mercury asks: What do I understand, and how do I communicate it?
Venus asks: What do I value, and how do I make choices that reflect it?
Together, these stations may help us bring our words and our relationships into better alignment.
Perhaps we can finally explain why an agreement has felt unfair. Perhaps we recognize that our resentment has been pointing toward a need we have not expressed. Perhaps a conversation helps us understand that somebody else’s priorities are different from our own, and we can decide what to do with that more honestly.
And perhaps we are simply ready to stop having the same conversation only in our own mind.
This is where I would bring the New Moon intention back in. What did you acknowledge earlier in the week? What would it look like to let that understanding affect one choice you make now?
We do not need to rush to prove that we have changed. We can begin practicing the change.
Saturday, November 14 — Mars and the Nodes: the courage to choose a different direction
Mars conjuncts the mean South Node in Leo today, opposing the North Node in Aquarius around 25 degrees.
Jupiter brought wisdom, possibility, and expansion to this part of the chart earlier in the week. Mars now brings action, desire, courage, and, sometimes, frustration.
We may feel ready to use an old skill, take a step toward a creative goal, or stop giving energy to something that no longer feels like us. There may be a familiar reaction we can catch before following it all the way through.
When we feel overlooked, do we push harder? Withdraw? Try to prove how much we do? What would a more direct and honest response look like?
The South Node does not mean we have to discard all the good in Leo. We still get to create, love, enjoy, and be seen. We can consider which expressions of those things feel nourishing and which ones depend on keeping an old role alive.
Mars is also in its pre-retrograde shadow, which began last week. So the actions and motivations coming into focus now may be revisited over the coming months. That is useful information to keep in mind as we make our choices.
Mars and Jupiter are moving toward their conjunction just beyond this week’s window, late Sunday, November 15 in Mountain Time. The energy may already feel enthusiastic, impatient, or ready to do something big. Give your courage a clear direction and your commitments enough room to be realistic.

Where this may show up for you
Read your rising sign first, then your Sun sign, and then your Moon sign.
Your rising sign establishes the houses in your chart. In whole sign houses, the entire rising sign is your first house, which lets us place these transits in specific areas of your life. Your Sun sign can add a perspective around identity and purpose, while your Moon sign may speak more to emotional needs and familiar responses. The Sun and Moon readings use those signs as symbolic starting points; they do not replace the houses established by your rising sign.
Find your rising sign
Aries rising
The Scorpio New Moon falls in your eighth house of shared resources, debt, obligations, and the vulnerability involved in depending on somebody. You may be ready for a clearer agreement about what is shared and what each person is carrying. Mercury turning direct here can support revisiting the details, while Venus turning direct in your seventh house brings partnerships and mutual expectations into the same conversation.
Jupiter and Mars meeting the South Node in your fifth house may reconnect you with an old creative gift, a romantic desire, or something you simply love doing. With the North Node in your eleventh house, consider how that joy fits into the friendships and future you are building. You can take your enjoyment seriously without needing everyone to applaud the same thing.
Taurus rising
The New Moon and Mercury’s station activate your seventh house of partnerships, clients, and important one-to-one relationships. What would a more honest beginning look like with somebody? Perhaps you need to clarify an expectation or acknowledge that you want something different. Venus, your chart ruler, turns direct in your sixth house, connecting those conversations with work, routines, and how responsibilities are handled each day.
The Leo activity is in your fourth house of home, family, and roots, opposite the North Node in your tenth house of public direction. An old family role may need adjusting, or something familiar at home could become a source of support. Consider what kind of foundation makes it easier to pursue the work and future that matter to you.
Gemini rising
Scorpio is your sixth house of work, routines, service, and everyday care. The New Moon may begin with recognizing that a daily pattern needs changing. As Mercury, your chart ruler, turns direct here, you may find a clearer way to organize the work or explain what you need. Venus turns direct in your fifth house, bringing creativity, pleasure, children, or romance back into consideration.
Jupiter and Mars meet the South Node in your third house of communication, learning, siblings, and local life. A skill you already have could become useful in a new way, or you may notice a familiar way of speaking that you are ready to reconsider. The North Node in your ninth house encourages you to make room for learning beyond what you already know.
Cancer rising
The New Moon is in your fifth house of creativity, pleasure, romance, and children. Something meaningful may be asking for room to grow, even if sharing it feels vulnerable. Mercury turning direct here could help you find words for a desire or revisit a creative plan. Venus stations direct in your fourth house, inviting a clearer understanding of what feels supportive in your home and family life.
Leo is your second house of income, possessions, skills, and values. Jupiter and Mars may bring renewed interest in something you know how to do, along with the courage to value it differently. With the North Node in your eighth house, consider how your own resources connect with shared responsibilities. Enthusiasm is helpful; clear agreements help you decide what you can actually offer.
Leo rising
Your fourth house of home, family, roots, and private life hosts the New Moon and Mercury’s station. You may be understanding a family pattern differently or reconsidering what you need to feel settled. Venus turns direct in your third house, supporting a return to conversations, learning, or local connections with a better sense of what you value.
Jupiter and Mars meeting the South Node in your first house make questions of identity, motivation, and visibility especially personal. An old strength may be ready for another expression. You may also recognize how much energy goes into being who people expect you to be. The North Node in your seventh house asks you to remain open to partnership while making choices about your own direction.
Virgo rising
The Scorpio New Moon and Mercury’s direct station fall in your third house of communication, learning, siblings, and your immediate surroundings. Mercury is your chart ruler, so finding a better question or clearer words may feel particularly meaningful. Venus turns direct in your second house of income and values, connecting what you say with how you value your time, work, and resources.
The Leo activity falls in your twelfth house of private life, retreat, and things that can be difficult to see clearly while you are in them. An old creative practice or quiet understanding may become useful again. With the North Node in your sixth house, consider what daily arrangements would support that insight. Leave yourself enough space to notice what happens when you are less occupied with keeping everything going.
Libra rising
The New Moon and Mercury’s station activate your second house of money, possessions, skills, and values. You may recognize a belief about what you deserve or what your work is worth that needs another look. Venus, your chart ruler, stations direct in your first house. This can be a personal turning point in understanding what you want and how you wish to show up.
Jupiter and Mars meet the South Node in your eleventh house of friendships, groups, and future hopes. A past connection or familiar ambition may offer something useful, while another may no longer fit. The North Node in your fifth house asks you to include your own creativity and pleasure in the decision. What do you enjoy when you are not trying to meet the group’s expectations?
Scorpio rising
The New Moon is in your first house, and Mercury turns direct here as well. You may be beginning to understand something about yourself that changes how you want to move forward. There is room to acknowledge a need, reconsider how you describe yourself, or choose a different response. Venus turns direct in your twelfth house, suggesting that some of your relationship and values work may still be private.
Mars, your traditional chart ruler, joins Jupiter near the South Node in your tenth house of career and public responsibility. An old skill could become relevant again, or a familiar professional role may need revising. With the North Node in your fourth house, consider the private foundation underneath your ambitions. What kind of home life and support make the direction you want more sustainable?
Sagittarius rising
Scorpio is your twelfth house of retreat, private reflection, and patterns you may be getting ready to understand differently. This New Moon does not have to produce an immediately visible beginning. Mercury’s station may help you put words to something you have been processing quietly. Venus turns direct in your eleventh house, bringing friendships and future plans back into consideration.
Jupiter, your chart ruler, meets the South Node in your ninth house, followed by Mars. A former course of study, belief, teacher, or bigger ambition may return with new relevance. With the North Node in your third house, bring the larger idea into everyday questions and conversations. What could you learn by listening closely to what is happening nearer to home?
Capricorn rising
The New Moon and Mercury’s station take place in your eleventh house of communities, friendships, collaborators, and long-term hopes. A group plan may need a more honest conversation, or you may be ready to name a different hope for the future. Venus turns direct in your tenth house, linking those questions with your professional relationships and public direction.
Jupiter and Mars meet the South Node in your eighth house of shared resources, obligations, and financial entanglements. Support may become available, or you may recognize an agreement that needs revisiting. The North Node in your second house encourages you to consider your own resources and values as well. What arrangement allows you to participate without losing sight of what you need?
Aquarius rising
The Scorpio New Moon and Mercury’s direct station fall in your tenth house of career, reputation, and public responsibility. You may be ready to acknowledge a different ambition or explain your work in a way that feels more honest. Venus turns direct in your ninth house, supporting another look at your beliefs, education, or the wider perspective guiding that direction.
The Leo activity is in your seventh house of partnerships and clients, opposite the North Node in your first house. Somebody else’s enthusiasm or expectations may be part of the opportunity, but your own direction belongs in the conversation too. A partnership can grow as you each become clearer about what you bring and what you want to create together.
Pisces rising
Your ninth house of beliefs, education, travel, and the bigger picture hosts the New Moon and Mercury’s station. Something you have learned may be changing how you understand the future. Venus turns direct in your eighth house, connecting that larger direction with shared support, obligations, and trust. A practical conversation may help an inspiring idea become more workable.
Jupiter, your traditional chart ruler, meets the South Node in your sixth house of work, routines, and service, followed by Mars. A familiar skill could find a useful place, but notice whether enthusiasm turns into taking on more than you can sustain. The North Node in your twelfth house asks you to make room for rest and private reflection alongside the responsibilities you are willing to carry.
A thought to carry through this week
What have I learned that I am ready to begin living differently?
That is where I keep coming back with this week’s astrology. The New Moon gives us a place to begin. Jupiter meeting the South Node may help us recognize a gift, a blessing, or an opportunity connected with what we have already lived. Mercury and Venus turning direct help us begin working with what we have been discovering, and Mars meeting the South Node asks what we are ready to do with it. All the while, the North Node in Aquarius keeps inviting us to consider a different perspective and a different future.
Maybe the change is a conversation. Maybe it is asking for help, valuing something we create, or responding differently when an old fear gets stirred up.
We can start there, with something honest enough to matter and small enough to practice.
