What This Weekly Horoscope Means for You
The New Moon in Scorpio is the emotional headline. New Moons mark the start of a fresh lunar cycle, when the Moon sits between Earth and the Sun and is not visible in the night sky, as NASA’s guide to Moon phases explains. Astrologers treat it as a time for intentions. In Scorpio, those intentions are about honesty, intimacy, healing and letting go of what no longer has power over you.
Then comes the double direct station. Mercury, retrograde in Scorpio since late October, turns direct on November 13, and Venus, retrograde since early October, turns direct within hours. Mercury direct helps with contracts, travel and communication, while Venus direct helps with love, money and beauty decisions. Give both planets a few days to pick up speed before you sign anything major, but the overall mood of this weekly horoscope is forward motion.
With Mars and Jupiter side by side in Leo, confidence and courage are running high. That is wonderful for creative projects and bold moves, but watch for overpromising. For the bigger picture of the month, see our November 2026 horoscope.

New Moon in Scorpio Ritual Ideas
You do not need crystals or candles to work with a New Moon, though they can be lovely. Here are simple ideas that fit any schedule this week.
Write Three Intentions
Scorpio is about depth, so pick three intentions instead of ten. Write them in the present tense, for example “I speak honestly about what I need,” and keep them somewhere you will see them.
Clear One Thing
Choose one physical space to clear: a drawer, a closet shelf or your phone’s camera roll. Scorpio energy loves a purge, and you will feel lighter afterward.
Have the Honest Conversation
Mercury direct makes the second half of the week better for important talks. If something has been left unsaid, plan it for Friday or the weekend, when the messenger planet is moving forward again.
How to Make the Most of This Weekly Horoscope
- Read your rising sign too. If you know your ascendant, read that sign as well. Our guide to rising sign meaning explains why.
- Know your Moon. The Moon travels through Sagittarius, Capricorn and Aquarius this week. If one of those is your moon sign, you may feel extra emotional resonance. Learn more in our moon sign meaning guide.
- Use the dates. Monday is for intentions, Friday is for restarting stalled plans, and the weekend is for celebrating progress.
