Nov 8, 2026 at 11:02 pm PT is a new Moon in Scorpio. Water sign Scorpio rules the 8th house of sex, death, and rebirth. The new Moon, Sun, and Mercury are all in Scorpio for powerful communication, strong intuition, and accurate insights. It’s easier to get to the truth of the matter and understand motives, especially concerning relationships, during this Mercury retrograde that ends Nov 13 and Venus retrograde that ends on Nov 13.
Fortunately, Venus in Libra sextiles Mars conjunct Jupiter in Leo. These aspects are favorable for generosity in relationships and for creating new friendships. There can be balance to give and receive equally when relating to others, and a fair exchange in legal matters that work out well for all parties involved. Creative activities and social engagements are favored, plus this New Moon begins the lunar month of the Earth Pig. The artistic and pleasure-loving energy of the Pig brings good times, and a break from the intensity of this Fire Horse year. The element Earth enriches the lucky golden Pig, and brings good fortune in business and finances.
The New Moon and Sun square Mars, so time to rein in ambitions and learn from the idiom of the Earth Pig, “The earth is vast and the sky is wide” that emphasizes limitless horizons and freedom. So take a step back and see the big picture. It’s fine if there are small delays to reevaluate plans instead of rushing into new ventures. Tolerant Pig is cooperative, so only be assertive if the situation requires it, not because you feel irritable. During this month of the golden Pig, rash action and hastiness do not lead to success.

The generous energy of golden Pig month is beneficial for all, and is strongest for Water sign Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio and those born in Tiger, Rabbit, Sheep, and Pig years.
Happy New Moon,
