On the morning of 9 November 2026 the Moon is new in Scorpio. In the UK that is around 7 AM, in New York around 2 AM. New Moons are for planting wishes, and a Scorpio New Moon is special: it is about real change, the kind that starts with letting something go.

What this New Moon means

A New Moon is the dark start of the lunar month. The Sun and Moon meet, and whatever you start in the next few days grows with the Moon. In Scorpio, the theme is transformation: ending a habit, healing a relationship, taking back your power around money.

This one comes just a few days before Mercury and Venus turn direct on 13 November, so it is a perfect bridge. You set the intention in the dark, and a week later the planets give you the green light to act on it.

My grandma's New Moon ritual

She kept it simple, and so do I.

  1. Clean one corner. Before the New Moon, tidy one small space: a drawer, your desk, your wallet. Scorpio likes clean foundations.
  2. Write two lists. On the left, what you are ready to let go of. On the right, what you want to grow instead. Be honest; Scorpio does not like polite wishes.
  3. Burn or tear the left list. Safely, in a sink or a bowl, or just tear it into small pieces and throw it away.
  4. Keep the right list. Fold it and put it under a candle, or in your wallet if it is about money. Read it again at the Full Moon on 24 November.

Wishes that work well now

  • "I let go of the person who does not choose me, and I make room for someone who does."
  • "I clear my debts and money flows to me freely."
  • "I trust myself and stop explaining my choices."
  • "I heal what hurt me and come out stronger."

Write them in the present tense, as if they are already happening.

What not to do

Do not start a big purchase, a new contract or a new relationship on the day itself; Mercury is still retrograde until 13 November. Use the New Moon to decide, and the days after the 13th to act.
