A Deep DARK New Moon in Scorpio — Horoscopes for All 12 Signs

Hey everyone. This is Adam Elenbaas from Nightlight Astrology [https://nightlightastrology.com/].

Happy Monday, everybody! Today we're going to take a look at the new moon in Scorpio, forming last night into today. We're going to talk about the cycle ahead of us, given the starting points here in Scorpio, given the fact that we've just had two retrogrades taking place in the sign of Scorpio, both of which are about to turn direct during the early part of this lunar cycle. So a lot of things to look at today, but we'll take a look at this at the end.

I'm also going to zip through the Scorpio houses, give you little lightning round reminders of what house that's landing in in your chart. So not like full horoscopes, but kind of like little mini reminders. So that's what we're doing today. But before we get into it, as always, please remember to like and subscribe. It helps us to sustain what we do and grow what we do. We really appreciate it.

This is our final talk in the houses series, so looking forward to that. You can sign up for that talk if you don't attend live, you can get the free replay. The other thing I want to mention is that a week from today, our annual Kickstarter begins. For the last 40 or so days of the calendar year, we have a Kickstarter to support the free content of this channel year-round.

This is our 13th year doing it. Hard to believe we have a backer goal. We've got an amazing assortment of rewards, our best discounts on all of our classes for the year. So that will be launching next week. In just letting you know in advance so that you can think about it and maybe make a contribution to support the channel again.

We had over 2000 of you that pitched in last year, we really appreciate it. We're going to see if we can't surpass that goal again. All right, let's go to Netchepso. So on Netchepso this morning, we're looking at a new moon in Scorpio. All right, so here you can see it highlighted.

Now this new moon, as of this morning, Monday, November 9, is just past noon, just within degrees of being past noon. So it was really overnight last night, the eighth of November into the ninth that it began. Let's trace out the entirety of this lunar cycle. If we go forward from this date, we're going to get our first quarter moon on Tuesday, November 17.

That's in Aquarius. We're going to trace this out to our full moon, Tuesday, November 24, and then we're going to go forward into our last quarter moon, which is going to be about Tuesday, December 1, and then we're going to get that new moon in Sagittarius. This is about Tuesday, December 8.

So we're looking at a cycle that takes us all the way into early December right now. That's really significant, and there's a lot of things happening during this lunar cycle that ought to make it pretty interesting. One of the most interesting things that's happening is Mars-Jupiter South Node triple conjunction, Venus and Mercury both turning direct after our long eventful retrogrades of the end of 2026 here, and then we also have the station direct and then reconnection of Venus and Jupiter again.

Those are just a few of the highlights. Mercury is turning direct, pretty close to a square with Pluto as well. So, a lot of action in this month of November. I don't think it's anywhere near as intense this lunar month as the say the retrograde periods of Venus and Mercury were. Those were dicey.

A lot of people going through, you know, the kinds of things you anticipate from those retrogrades in Scorpio. But here now we have capping it all off, a new moon in Scorpio. So what are we to make of that? Well, I'm going to say more about the presence of the new moon in Scorpio in the houses of your birth chart at the end, but what I want to do in the meantime is just talk, give you that five things to watch for given our lunar cycle ahead.

So the first thing that I want to talk about is the fact that we have had two retrogrades, Venus retrograde and Mercury retrograde, back to back in Scorpio, and now a new moon, which provides a really nice feeling of reset, restarting, and of rebirth in this place of Scorpio. In our birth charts, we've been through a lot.

We've been learning a lot. Those retrogrades, both in Scorpio, mean that the emphasis on change in our life has been really concentrated. Now we're seeing a new moon, which means, in a sense, we're ready to move forward in the new direction implied by the growth that we've seen and experienced. So that, in general, is the theme.

And at the end, I'm going to just briefly remind you of the house position. But number one on my list of things to watch for, given this powerful new moon in Scorpio, is this idea of light and dark. It's an interesting juxtaposition: a new moon between the luminaries, the sun and the moon, the lights they were called, in a sign that is associated with the darkest portion of the solar year, as seen from the northern hemisphere, and so the juxtaposition between light and dark can be really strong and really interesting.

Light makes things visible; it makes them clear and it makes them plain, and that means that things that have been hidden or invisible and unseen, unclear, complicated can suddenly be simple, clear, visible, plain, and in plain sight. That means that things that have been working beneath the surface, not necessarily you know anything nefarious, just something that has been working behind the scenes or underneath the surface may be in a moment now where it's all visible, and so if there have been questions, you might get answers.

If there's been a kind of stuckness and lack of clarity because of stagnation, you might start to see movement. That's also consistent with the retrogrades finishing up. If there has been uncertainty, maybe now you have a clearer sense of what you want to do or where you want to go.

So these illuminating factors from dark to light, from deep maybe lack of motion or clarity or understanding or confusion or overwhelm or even fear, now comes a little bit of confidence, a little bit of certainty. But the other thing that's interesting is that we also have a cycle in which the light can operate in a dark way.

Let me give you an example of this. How many of you can relate to this? This is like one of my oh my god! It's like a pet peeve. I think that's what they call them. All right, so you go to try something on. Let's say that you happen to be in the world's cesspool that we call the mall.

I'm just playing. Well, let's say you go to the mall, and here we have the Mall of America, which is basically like a caricature of American consumerism. It's the worst place in the world. So you go to the Mall of America, and you find something you're excited to potentially purchase a piece of clothing, but you need to try it on.

And you go into the changing room, and oh my god, when you see yourself in the light, like some of these changing rooms, the lighting, it's like you know, have you ever just looked into a mirror with too much light, like a hotel room bathroom or a changing room with the fluorescent lights, right? And you look and you go, "I don't want to buy anything. I want to jump in a cold plunge and start rewriting my life."

You look in that mirror, the brightness of it, everything laid bare. If you're a white ass like me, then you look pasty as hell. You know what I'm saying? And you're just sitting there going, "Oh my God, my skin looks white," and then there's red. And I'm aging, you know. Whatever it is, nothing looks graceful.

And that's the funny thing about the light is that the light too much light can be a little too much truth. You know what I'm saying? We aren't ready for it. If you, how many times have you ever heard someone say, you know, when you stand in the light of the truth of the Lord, you know, like all faults are plain to see, and everyone runs screaming. You know, that's a changing room in the mall.

Unless you get a good one with like a little bit of a dimmer light, a softer light, you know, and then you get a little play of light and shadow on your body, and you go, "Oh, okay, I think I will buy the sweater." It makes everything look so good. So yeah, darkness. When the new moon is in Scorpio, darkness through the light can be a play of light and dark.

Where darkness in you have to have just the right amount, excuse me, amount of darkness and light together for darkness to work its magic. You know, in my room right now, there's a big white light cast across the floor because I've got my bonsai under the light right now. But often I record early in the morning and it's still dark out, so the I like the kind of I like my room feels like a cave.

Maybe that's just like a dude thing. I don't know. But their nocturnal, the nocturnal quality of light is still a quality of light. Is the point I'm trying to make, and that can allow for more intimacy, imagination, mystery, depth. There's a reason that a candlelight changes a room, and for the most part, as long as I've how much do I want to share? Well, sorry, the things going out of my head.

Candlelight changes a room. Tell me it doesn't, right? Can't when I when I lived on my own in my apartment, and I was struggling with depression in my early 20s, and was struggling with some addiction issues. Candles at night in my apartment, listening to music by myself, changed everything. It softened everything. It made it made the depression into melancholy, which was more imaginative, you know, and more texture to it.

And then you can get obsessed, I guess, with darkness and candles and refuse to come out into the light of the world.

But who do you know that's like, hey, I've got a great idea. Let's turn on all the floodlights in the world and make love just buck naked. I mean, maybe, but I a lot of people make love to candlelight. They make love with a mixture of light and dark, with a lot of depth and intimacy and imagination and fantasy that can deepen.

Now, of course, some traditions are going to look at that and say, "Yeah, this is exactly why you stay stuck in the world because you refuse to see the light." And once you see the light, you realize this world is Maya. It's illusion. You know, crank up that strobe light and just lay everything bare in the light of God's good, glorious truth, and then you'll see that you're all a bunch of fibbers and fakes.

You're all a bunch of addicts and narcissistic, hypocritical wannabes. Grow up, turn that light up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So boring. We want. We need the difference. We need to know the difference between something that needs illumination and something that it can actually deepen and grow. Specifically, because we give it the right mixture of dark with a little bit of light.

This is a cycle that's about that interplay of light and dark, and the interplay of light and dark is also divine. So we can't just frame it in terms of more light equals more truth, more darkness equals more illusion. That metaphor breaks down when it comes to the kind of magic that and insight you gain into the universe, into yourself, into love when the stars and the moon are out at night.

It's a different quality of life. So think about that. This cycle. All right, number two, having fun with that one. An emotional turning point. Let's just make this simple. A Scorpio new moon with some powerful lunar dynamics throughout, and some other interesting dynamics in the month. Mercury still being in Scorpio, Venus going to trek back into Scorpio eventually.

The emphasis on water and that fixed water can bring deep, needed emotional changes, emotional releases. There is a hexagram in the E. Ching called number called gentle restraint. It's number nine, and it speaks to the slow gathering of rain, rain clouds, the slow gathering of rain clouds, but no rain. So the rain is being held back, and you desperately want it to rain, or you're anticipating that it will.

You either have fear or desire, like make it rain, or oh God, please don't rain, or whatever. But it's accumulating, but it's not happening. Then the fourth line, which I believe is the only yin line, it if it changes, it becomes hexagram one, the creative, the release of creative energy. So this gentle restraint that we may have been feeling through two retrogrades in Scorpio emotionally, this is a cycle where you're probably going to see a lot of pent up emotions being released in a kind of fertile wave of creative emotional energy.

So powerful emotional turning point built into a cycle like this. It's simple. Number three, Desire and fear. Now, the fixed water of Scorpio can suggest that emotions will gather, concentrate, and persist, maybe beneath the surface a little bit, and then kind of again that powerful release, that emotional turning point, but that can mean that this is a cycle where there is beneath the surface a lot of desire and fear.

The classic engines of change and transformation. I fear something, or I desire something. I don't want something, or I do want something. So watch for those to be at the center of what this cycle is about. What you desire, desire, you may be getting to know, or you may be changing. You may be changing with respect to your desire.

So, I desire something different or new. An old desire is being released. An old attachment, fears are being looked at. Anxieties are being dealt with. What I don't want has to be faced on some level. And these things don't have to be loud; they can be like a slow burn in Scorpio. I do think it'll be more; it'll be more movement and action than the retrogrades in Scorpio were at the outset.

Those had a Feeling of hold, hold, hold, hold, but no release.

Now we're in the release part, so I don't think it's going to be like stuck. But you're going to be dealing with these things kind of slow burning a little bit underneath the surface. That's just how Scorpio tends to work. Now, the other thing on my list is paranoia, defensiveness, and protection. So, Scorpio has this interesting relationship with fear and desire, and also, therefore, if you are afraid, then holding on and protecting or defending something from being taken or from something that you don't want to happen from happening.

That is a specialty of Scorpio. This is why it's nice to have Scorpios around us. They tend to be very loyal, protective, defensive people that help keep things in a good space, albeit sometimes with a kind of protective defensiveness that's a bit like having a watchdog. We have two mastiffs, so I always compare, especially our Connie Corso. You know, he's like just such a Scorpio.

So is Hilda. She's our Mastiff. She's our English Mastiff. But anyhow, so you could be a little mastiffy. You're big and smelly, is what I'm trying to say the defensiveness, the protectiveness, but also the potential for paranoia, clutching, clinging, holding, and the inability to let go of things. Those can be highlighted in a cycle like this.

Privacy and discernment will protect things that are vulnerable in a cycle like this, but constant testing or suspicion or paranoia or checking or withholding can make things difficult. So be careful of the tendency to get obsessive and clutchy. Is that a word? I would also say that when opportunities arise, you want to vet them and but and let trust in the situation develop gradually through consistent actions, but don't be too eager or too defensive.

So just thinking about the walls that we have and why, and some need to be there and some don't. Paranoia, suspicion, defensiveness, attachment, relinquishing attachments; these are all themes that can come up in a big way. Some things are worth protecting. Some things are worth loosening up about. Now, finally, we just have an ending in Scorpio of retrograde cycles and a new beginning that comes with the new moon.

So let's just review. Really quickly, the meanings of these houses, right? If you and I'm just going to zip through these. So if you're an airy sun or rising, the new moon in Scorpio is in your eighth place of shared resources, attachments, contracts with other people, relinquishment of attachments, the give and take of relationships and attachments.

Taurus rising, it's the relational realm. It's happiness. It's emotional connection. It's transformation around love, sex, intimacy, marriage. If you're Gemini, it's in the sixth house. So that's going to be the place of work and sacrifice and service. People that you employ and maybe something changing about your daily work routines or habits and how you care for yourself, how you work, working smarter.

If you are a cancer, the fifth house of creativity, children, pleasure, joy, good fortune, maybe sexuality or intimacy, pregnancy, but creative dharma being the focus there for cancers. For Leos, it's about home, family, roots, the foundations of your life, your living environment. For Virgos, we're talking about the third house of mind, communication, speech, siblings, technology, intellect, learning, and your mindset.

Let's call it. For Libras, we're talking about the second house, which is going to be money, assets, resources, livelihood, material security, self-sufficiency. These are themes of the second house. For Scorpios, it's all about that personal sense of transformation. It's about personal, we could say, agency, and there's an emphasis on selfhood, personal development, growth, and change that's psychological that changes and changes you in terms of things that are also physical, perhaps your appearance or your health.

So we go to Sagittarius. It's in the 12th house, that hidden, unconscious, blind spot, but also a mystical place that takes you into a kind of otherworldliness, retreat from the world, solitude, a bigger, vaster picture of change, transformation in the unconscious. That's the focus for Sagittarians. For Capricorns, it's the 11th house: groups, friends, allies, communities, cultures, ambitions, and dreams for the future.

Especially as they connect you to other people and collaborators, for Aquarius, we're talking about the 10th house. That's going to be career.

That's going to be your public-facing self, your notoriety, your reputation, your career ambitions, your work or service in the world that connects you to the social arena. And for Pisces, we're the ninth house. We're in the ninth house, new moon in the ninth house, the place of religion, philosophy, education, gurus, universities, spiritual philosophical house. So those are the places where this new moon is focused.

I just wanted to give you some brief reminders so you are up to speed. That is it for the day. We've got some good things to look forward to this week. I think. Let me just see here. I'll tell you. I'll just give you like a tiny sneak preview. So yeah, this week the big news is really Mars getting together with Jupiter in Leo and the South Node in Jupiter getting together.

That triple conjunction is very powerful. Brings up a lot of past life material if you believe in that kind of thing, and we all that time are going to have we get Pluto and Uranus coming closer and closer to their trine together. Venus and Mercury are going to get very close to their station direct, so it's a really powerful week.

A lot of things to come. Be looking forward to talking about it with you guys. Next, I'm going to tell you about the year one program. Don't forget, we start this weekend. It is not too late to join. It's very easy to get you set up in the Thinkific system that we use, which is our classroom portal.

Everything is hosted live, but everything is recorded, so you can go at your own pace, and don't let finances be an issue. Use the need-based tuition if you want to join, but you're on a tight budget, and you're like, "Oh man, I it's out of my range," or just use the need-based tuition. That's what it's there for.

That's what our Kickstarter supports every year because the Kickstarter people support the channel. We're able to make sure that people from all walks of life can study astrology if they want to. So again, that's there for you. Please do support that, and don't forget. In a week from right now, we'll be starting our Kickstarter campaign.

We'll be trying to rally the support for people who love this channel to support us. Some new goals for the year ahead. All right, that's it for today. Have a beautiful day. We'll see you again tomorrow. Bye.
