The new moon in Scorpio is exact on November 13 at 4:27 a.m. eastern time.

The zodiac sign of Scorpio is often considered to be a deep, dark energy. It is associated with being secretive—not wanting to freely share certain thoughts and feelings. Scorpio is also about constant change and profound transformation.

With this new moon in the sign of Scorpio, we are truly being transformed into a brand new era. Eclipse season is officially over after the full moon in Taurus two weeks ago, and there will be no more eclipses in the Taurus-Scorpio axis until 2031.

New moon cycles are great for starting new things in your life. And with this particular new moon, you may want your new beginnings to be radical! Keep in mind that the ancient ruler of Scorpio is Mars, the planet of aggressive energy, so don’t hesitate to be bold in your actions.

Mars is also “me” centered—that is, it strives to satisfy the ego. Understand that the ego is a good thing—without it, we would never get out of the bed in the morning! The goal is to develop a healthy, balanced ego that is mindful and confident, as opposed to impulsive and motivated by fear. With this new moon in Scorpio, your new beginnings would ideally be geared toward pushing an agenda that benefits your personal goals and desires.

Pluto is the modern ruler of Scorpio, which accounts for Scorpio’s association with transformation at a core level and personal power. Working with this energy, you may want to use your new beginning as an opportunity to transform yourself or an aspect of your life so that it looks completely different than it does now. Change is necessary to level up and evolve.

Finally, it wouldn’t be a discussion of Scorpio without some words about sex and sexuality. Mars is often thought, in part, to govern sexual appetite and desires. Pluto’s associations with hidden things includes sex, which in our society is usually handled in a hush-hush manner.

During this new moon cycle, your new beginning could include fostering body positivity—being comfortable in the skin you’re in. Think of yourself as a sexual being in a more open and honest way. You don’t necessarily have to talk about your sexuality, but you could live your life out loud. Be sexy as a holistic part of your everyday personality.
