The start of the month always feels hopeful and like a mini fresh start, and with November’s new moon in Scorpio there’s some fiery energy ahead.
With Halloween behind us and Christmas decorations starting to appear (and… is that the sound of Mariah Carey in the distance?), November is the perfect time to get cosy, connect with loved ones, and focus on getting the most out of the final weeks of the year.
Today’s new moon in Scorpio is going to help you do just that, with some intense energy coming our way (if you know a Scorpio, this won’t be a surprise).
GLAMOUR UK spoke to astrology experts TJ Higgs and Carla von Anhalt to find out exactly how November 2024’s new moon in Scorpio will affect you, from your love life to your career, and which star signs will be most affected.
What does a new moon in Scorpio mean?
According to Higgs: “A new moon in Scorpio signifies a time of transformation, intensity, and deep emotional exploration.”
If you have any Scorpios in your life, you’ll know that this sign is known for its passionate and mysterious nature. “During this lunar phase, we may feel compelled to delve into our innermost thoughts and feelings,” says Higgs. “The energy brought forth by this new moon encourages introspection, healing, and the release of anything that no longer serves us.”
Now is an ideal time to set intentions related to personal growth, empowerment, and embracing change. “This is a time when hidden truths might come to light, emotional layers are peeled back, and anything we’ve been avoiding can suddenly feel like it’s coming up for renewal or release,” says von Anhalt. “It’s a powerful time to start fresh, especially in areas that need honesty and authenticity.”
What a new moon in Scorpio means for your love life
“In matters of love, the new moon in Scorpio invites us to explore the depths of our relationships,” explains Higgs. “This phase encourages vulnerability and authenticity, prompting us to communicate openly with our partners.”
For those in committed relationships, the new moon in Scorpio is a chance to strengthen emotional bonds and deepen intimacy. “For some, it may encourage intimate conversations and emotional bonding with a partner,” says von Anhalt. “For others, it might bring hidden issues to the surface, offering a chance for healing and renewal.”
If you’re single, Higgs explains that “singles may find themselves attracted to more intense connections, seeking partners who inspire passion and loyalty.”
Overall, this new moon can lead to transformative experiences in love, urging us to confront fears and embrace deeper connections.
How November’s new moon in Scorpio will affect your work life
“Professionally, the new moon in Scorpio brings an atmosphere ripe for strategic thinking and focused determination,” says Higgs. “It encourages us to tap into our ambitions and pursue our goals with renewed vigour.”
The new moon in Scorpio is a perfect time for setting intentions related to career advancement, as it fosters a sense of clarity and purpose. “However, it also calls for discretion and careful planning,” warns Higgs. “Navigating office dynamics with tact and understanding will be crucial. Embracing collaboration while harnessing personal power can lead to significant breakthroughs in our work life.”
Von Anhalt adds that Scorpio’s influence helps us cut through distractions and zero in on what really matters. “You might feel a surge of determination to tackle any lingering issues or make bold moves that align more with your passions,” she says. “This is a good time to reflect on where your work might need change or transformation – whether it’s committing to a project with renewed focus or taking steps toward something more meaningful.”
Which star signs are most affected by the new moon in Scorpio?
The signs most impacted by the new moon in Scorpio include Scorpio itself, as well as Taurus, Leo, and Aquarius.
“Scorpios may experience profound personal transformations, while Taurus might feel the need to confront emotional issues”, says Higgs. “Leos could find themselves re-evaluating their creative pursuits, and Aquarians may experience shifts in their social circles and friendships.”
Additionally, all water signs—Cancer and Pisces—will feel the influence of this new moon, as it resonates with their emotional depths and intuitive abilities.
However, von Anhalt points out that “everyone can tap into the powerful energies of this new moon by embracing its invitation for inner growth, honesty, and emotional clarity.”
