The New Moon in Scorpio became exact in the early hours of Monday at nearly 17 degrees of the sign, opening a new lunar cycle. By midday the Moon has edged a few degrees ahead of the Sun but is still in conjunction with it, unseen and 0% lit, and it stays in Scorpio until it slips into Sagittarius overnight. Scorpio New Moons suit intentions that are private, specific and a little uncomfortable to admit: the habit you are done with, the commitment you mean to deepen, the truth you are ready to face.
This one comes with friction. At the moment of exactness the Moon squared Mars, and through the day that square tightens to within a degree; the Moon also squares Jupiter, and the Sun squares Mars. Mars and Jupiter are conjunct in Leo, a pairing that craves visibility, confidence and grand gestures, while the Scorpio lunation wants depth and discretion. Expect a tug between keeping a plan close and announcing it loudly. The healthiest use of the tension is to set your intention quietly and let the Leo heat power steady action rather than arguments.
Softer support comes from Venus, retrograde in Libra, which sextiles Mars almost exactly and Jupiter a little more widely. Repair, reconciliation and reviving an old creative thread all get a lift. Meanwhile Mercury, retrograde in Scorpio, squares Pluto in Aquarius, sharpening suspicion and the urge to dig. Check facts before drawing conclusions. With Mercury and Venus both retrograde, treat today's intentions as first drafts and save signatures and major purchases until both planets have turned direct.
In the background, the outer planets keep a cooperative pattern: Uranus trines Pluto, Neptune sextiles Pluto, Uranus sextiles Neptune, and Saturn sextiles both Uranus and Pluto. Slow structural change is supported, which suits a lunar cycle that rewards patience over speed.

Aries — A New Moon in your eighth house asks what you share, and on what terms
March 21 – April 19 · Fire · ruled by Mars
Today's New Moon falls in your eighth house, the part of the chart that handles shared money, debts, trust and the kind of closeness that asks something of you. It is a good morning to name one thing you want to change in how resources or feelings are pooled with someone else: a joint account that needs clearer rules, a loan you want to finish repaying, a vulnerable truth you have been holding back. Mars, your ruler, is conjunct Jupiter in Leo in your fifth house of play and romance, and the Moon squares it closely all day, so part of you will want to skip the serious talk and go do something fun. Do both, in that order. Venus, retrograde in your partnership sector, sextiles Mars almost exactly, which favors warm repair with a partner more than fresh negotiation. Keep large financial commitments loose until Mercury straightens out around Friday.
- Love & connection: A partner responds well to honesty followed by lightness; have the real conversation, then plan something playful together.
- Work & money: Review shared expenses or outstanding balances and jot down one clear goal for the month, without signing anything new yet.
- Wellbeing: Your energy runs hot today, so give it a physical outlet before you sit down for anything that needs patience.
- Focus: Trust and shared resources · Mood: Restless, candid · Best hours: Mid-morning
- Lucky number: 75 · Lucky color: Saffron (picked at random, for fun)
Taurus — Your partnership sector gets a quiet reset under the Scorpio New Moon
April 20 – May 20 · Earth · ruled by Venus
With the Sun and Moon together in Scorpio, your opposite sign, this New Moon lands squarely in your partnership sector. Whatever arrangement matters most to you right now, romantic, creative or professional, gets a quiet reset. The useful question is not whether it is working but what you would like the two of you to begin. Venus, your ruler, is retrograde in Libra in your sixth house of daily work, and she sextiles Mars and Jupiter in your home sector, so energy for household projects and family plans runs high. The Moon's square to those same Leo planets may stir a pull between a partner's needs and what is happening under your own roof. You do not have to settle it today. Write down what you want from the relationship in plain words, share a first version gently, and leave the fine print until after Mercury, also retrograde in your partnership sector, stations direct around Friday.
- Love & connection: Offer one sincere sentence about what you hope to build together rather than a list of grievances.
- Work & money: A contract or collaboration deserves a careful reread; note questions now and raise them later in the week.
- Wellbeing: Keep the evening slow and familiar, with a simple meal and an early night at home.
- Focus: Renewing a partnership · Mood: Tender, steady · Best hours: Early evening
- Lucky number: 47 · Lucky color: Ivory (picked at random, for fun)
Gemini — Mercury retrograde and the New Moon share your routines sector: rebuild the system
May 21 – June 20 · Air · ruled by Mercury
Mercury, your ruler, is retrograde in Scorpio in your sixth house of routines, and today's New Moon falls in the same sector. That is a clear invitation to rebuild how your ordinary days run: the to-do system that stopped working, the morning habit that slipped, the work process everyone complains about but no one fixes. Mercury squares Pluto in your ninth house, so a plan or belief you have relied on may look flimsier under scrutiny. Let it. Mars conjunct Jupiter in Leo in your communication sector gives you plenty to say, and the Moon's square to them can make you talk faster than you think. Draft the new routine today, test it for a while, and commit only once Mercury has finished its retrograde, when the kinks you missed will be easier to spot. One small, repeatable change will outlast a dramatic overhaul.
- Love & connection: Ask before you advise; someone close wants to be heard more than fixed.
- Work & money: Map out a workflow change on paper and share it as a proposal rather than a decision.
- Wellbeing: Build a short pause into the middle of the day so your mind can catch up with your mouth.
- Focus: Rebuilding daily routines · Mood: Analytical · Best hours: Late morning
- Lucky number: 24 · Lucky color: Plum (picked at random, for fun)
Cancer — Your ruling Moon renews itself in your creative fifth house
June 21 – July 22 · Water · ruled by Moon
Your ruler, the Moon, renews itself today in Scorpio, a fellow water sign, in your fifth house of creativity, romance and play. This is a gentle, private start rather than a loud one: the first sketch of a project, a decision to make more room for joy, a renewed commitment to a child in your life or a hobby that feeds you. The catch is money. Mars conjunct Jupiter in Leo occupies your second house of income and spending, and the Moon squares both, so the impulse to fund your enthusiasm generously may come before the plan does. Let the idea come first and the budget second. Venus, retrograde in your home sector and sextile Mars and Jupiter, favors putting time and care into your living space rather than replacing things outright. Fix, reuse and rearrange before you buy. By evening, notice which creative impulse still feels alive; that is the one to keep.
- Love & connection: Romance thrives on small, imaginative gestures today rather than expensive ones.
- Work & money: Hold off on impulse purchases tied to a new hobby and price out the essentials first.
- Wellbeing: Make something with your hands, even briefly; it settles your mood more than scrolling will.
- Focus: Creative first steps · Mood: Dreamy, warm · Best hours: Afternoon
- Lucky number: 86 · Lucky color: Ivory (picked at random, for fun)
Leo — Big ambitions in your sign meet a New Moon that asks about home
July 23 – August 22 · Fire · ruled by Sun
Mars and Jupiter are conjunct in your sign, lending you drive and a big appetite for visible action. Today's New Moon, though, falls in Scorpio in your fourth house of home, family and private foundations. The Sun, your ruler, squares Mars, and the Moon squares both Mars and Jupiter. Translation: your ambitions and your home life want different things from you today. Rather than choosing one, ask what your foundation needs so that your bolder moves can stand on it. That might mean a family conversation, a plan for your living space, or simply an honest look at how much rest you are getting. Venus, retrograde in Libra in your third house, sextiles Mars almost exactly, so kind words to a sibling or neighbor go a long way. Plant a private intention about home now and save the public announcement for when the lunar cycle has more light.
- Love & connection: Family members may need your presence more than your plans; give them an unhurried hour.
- Work & money: Channel the urge to push forward into preparation, and keep pitches and announcements on hold for now.
- Wellbeing: Notice where you are running on adrenaline and trade one late night for a slower evening at home.
- Focus: Strengthening your foundations · Mood: Driven, reflective · Best hours: After sunset
- Lucky number: 61 · Lucky color: Cobalt blue (picked at random, for fun)
Virgo — Old conversations resurface as the New Moon lights your third house
August 23 – September 22 · Earth · ruled by Mercury
Today's New Moon falls in your third house of conversations, errands, siblings and local life, and Mercury, your ruler, is retrograde in that same sector. Expect messages that revisit an old topic, a call from someone you have not heard from in a while, or a draft you thought was finished. Mercury's square to Pluto in your sixth house may sharpen a disagreement about workloads or who handles what. Ask precise questions and resist reading motives into short replies. Mars conjunct Jupiter in Leo sits in your twelfth house, the quiet part of your chart, so much of your energy today works behind the scenes. That is an asset: research, planning and private preparation will serve you more than pressing a point in public. Set an intention around how you want to communicate this month, and hold anything final until Mercury's retrograde is over.
- Love & connection: Reaching out to a sibling or old friend can mend a gap that has lingered longer than either of you meant.
- Work & money: Clarify task ownership in writing so a workload dispute does not grow from misunderstanding.
- Wellbeing: Give your mind a quiet stretch away from messages; a walk around your neighborhood helps you sort your thoughts.
- Focus: Reopening a conversation · Mood: Thoughtful · Best hours: Morning
- Lucky number: 98 · Lucky color: Emerald (picked at random, for fun)
Libra — The New Moon in your money sector asks what you truly value
September 23 – October 22 · Air · ruled by Venus
Venus, your ruler, is retrograde in your own sign and slowing toward a direct station around Saturday, so questions about who you are and how you present yourself have been simmering for weeks. Today's New Moon adds a practical layer: it falls in Scorpio in your second house of income, possessions and personal values. Think about what you genuinely want your money and time to support this season, and what you are ready to stop paying for, literally or emotionally. Venus sextiles Mars almost exactly and Jupiter more widely, both in Leo in your eleventh house of friends and groups, which makes allies easy to find. A friend may have a lead, an idea or a useful perspective on your finances. The Moon's square to those Leo planets suggests some social pressure to spend just to keep up. Say yes to the gathering, no to the extravagance.
- Love & connection: Friends offer real warmth today; let one of them see the less polished version of you.
- Work & money: List your recurring expenses and mark one you could let go of, without making sweeping changes before the weekend.
- Wellbeing: Pace your social calendar so that generosity toward others does not leave you depleted.
- Focus: Values and resources · Mood: Sociable, discerning · Best hours: Midday
- Lucky number: 51 · Lucky color: Indigo (picked at random, for fun)
Scorpio — A New Moon in your sign marks a private, personal new year
October 23 – November 21 · Water · ruled by Mars
The New Moon falls in your sign, exact in the early hours at nearly 17 degrees of Scorpio, and it marks a personal new beginning in a more intimate way than a birthday does. Think about who you want to be by this time next year and write it down where only you will see it. Mars, your traditional ruler, is conjunct Jupiter in Leo in your tenth house of career and reputation, and the Moon squares them closely, so work ambitions are loud right now and may compete with your need for privacy. Let the intention be personal first; the professional moves can follow. Mercury, retrograde in your sign, squares Pluto, your modern ruler, in your fourth house, which can dredge up an old family dynamic or a memory you thought was filed away. Notice it without acting on it yet. With Mercury still retrograde, clarity tends to arrive in its own time, so there is no need to force it today.
- Love & connection: Share your new intention with one trusted person rather than everyone; being truly known matters more than being seen.
- Work & money: A career idea is worth sketching in detail today, but hold off on presenting it until next week.
- Wellbeing: Protect some solitude; you will recharge in quiet more than in company today.
- Focus: Personal reinvention · Mood: Intense, resolved · Best hours: Early morning
- Lucky number: 37 · Lucky color: Mustard (picked at random, for fun)
Sagittarius — Rest and release now, because the Moon moves into your sign overnight
November 22 – December 21 · Fire · ruled by Jupiter
Today's New Moon falls in your twelfth house, the quiet, closing end of your chart, which makes this an ideal day for rest, reflection and wrapping up loose ends rather than launching. Jupiter, your ruler, is conjunct Mars in Leo in your ninth house of travel, learning and big ideas, and the Moon squares them closely. You may feel an itch to book, enroll or broadcast. Sketch the plan, but keep it in a notebook for now. Something useful happens tonight: the Moon slips into Sagittarius overnight, and by tomorrow you are likely to feel lighter and more ready to move. Until then, use the Scorpio mood to let go of a worry you have carried too long, or to finish something private nobody else knows about. Venus, retrograde in your eleventh house, sextiles Jupiter, so a friend from the past may offer a kind, timely word.
- Love & connection: A quiet evening with someone who does not need you to be entertaining is the most restorative company today.
- Work & money: Tie up loose administrative ends and clear your inbox so tomorrow's fresh energy has room to land.
- Wellbeing: Treat today as a soft reset; an early night sets you up well for the livelier days ahead.
- Focus: Release and rest · Mood: Introspective · Best hours: Late evening
- Lucky number: 89 · Lucky color: Saffron (picked at random, for fun)
Capricorn — The New Moon in your eleventh house reshapes your circle and your hopes
December 22 – January 19 · Earth · ruled by Saturn
Today's New Moon falls in your eleventh house of friendships, groups, networks and long-range hopes. It is a fitting day to ask which communities you want to invest in over the coming month and which ones you have quietly outgrown. Saturn, your ruler, is retrograde in Aries in your fourth house of home and roots, and it sextiles Uranus in your sixth house of daily routines and Pluto in your second house of income. That combination supports slow, practical improvements at home and in how you earn, rather than overnight transformation. Mars conjunct Jupiter in Leo sits in your eighth house of shared resources, and the Moon squares them, so a group decision about money or a joint commitment could feel heavier than it should. Hear everyone out before you volunteer to carry the cost. Venus, retrograde in your career sector, favors reconnecting with former colleagues.
- Love & connection: A friendship that has drifted may be worth one honest check-in; you will know quickly whether it still fits.
- Work & money: Before agreeing to cover a shared cost or group expense, ask for the full picture in writing.
- Wellbeing: Make your home space calmer in one small, concrete way; your mind will follow.
- Focus: Choosing your people · Mood: Measured · Best hours: Afternoon
- Lucky number: 14 · Lucky color: Turquoise (picked at random, for fun)
Aquarius — Career intentions take root as the New Moon crowns your tenth house
January 20 – February 18 · Air · ruled by Saturn
Your tenth house of career and public life hosts today's New Moon, so professional intentions carry extra weight. What do you want to be known for by the end of this lunar cycle? Keep the answer concrete. Mercury is retrograde in that same sector and squares Pluto in your sign, which may bring a past work issue back for review or prompt someone to question your methods. Answer with facts, not defensiveness. Mars conjunct Jupiter in Leo occupies your partnership house, and the Moon squares them, so a partner or close collaborator may push hard for their own agenda today. Saturn, your traditional ruler, is retrograde in your third house, and Uranus, your modern ruler, is retrograde in your fifth; both favor revising over reinventing. Edit the résumé, refine the pitch, and hold the formal application while Mercury is still retrograde.
- Love & connection: A partner's strong opinions are easier to hear if you acknowledge their enthusiasm before you add your own view.
- Work & money: Revisit an unfinished professional project and tighten it; this is a day for polish, not launches.
- Wellbeing: Step away from screens at a set point this evening so work questions do not follow you to bed.
- Focus: Professional direction · Mood: Focused, guarded · Best hours: Morning
- Lucky number: 70 · Lucky color: Wine red (picked at random, for fun)
Pisces — The Scorpio New Moon opens your ninth house to study and new horizons
February 19 – March 20 · Water · ruled by Jupiter
Today's New Moon falls in your ninth house of study, travel, publishing and belief, a water-sign placement that suits you. Consider what you want to learn or explore this month: a course, a trip, a book, a conversation with someone who sees the world differently. Jupiter, your traditional ruler, is conjunct Mars in Leo in your sixth house of work and daily routines, and the Moon squares them, so your schedule may be crowded enough to make big dreams feel impractical. They are not; they just need a slot on the calendar. Neptune, your modern ruler, is retrograde in Aries in your second house of money and sextiles both Pluto and Uranus, supporting a gradual, intuitive rethink of what you value and how you earn. Venus, retrograde in your eighth house, sextiles Mars, so a shared obligation could be renegotiated kindly. Begin with curiosity rather than a finished plan.
- Love & connection: A long conversation about ideas, faith or travel brings you closer to someone than small talk ever could.
- Work & money: Protect one block of your week for learning, even if your workload says otherwise.
- Wellbeing: Balance a busy schedule with something that widens your view, like a walk somewhere unfamiliar or an absorbing book.
- Focus: Learning and exploration · Mood: Curious · Best hours: Late afternoon
- Lucky number: 12 · Lucky color: Lavender (picked at random, for fun)
