🌙 Weekly Moonscope: November 8–14, 2026

A Scorpio New Moon, Fresh Possibilities & Two Planetary U-Turns

Well, the Moon has quite a week planned for us.

We begin with a Scorpio New Moon late Sunday evening, move through Sagittarius's appetite for possibilities, and finish with Capricorn asking whether those possibilities have a practical future.

And Friday brings something particularly interesting: both Mercury and Venus station direct after weeks of retrograde motion.

That's quite a change in the conversation.

The Moon begins the week at 0% illumination and reaches 26% by Saturday. We're moving from the end of one Lunar cycle into the early Waxing Crescent, when new intentions begin taking shape but don't necessarily need to produce immediate results.

Scorpio encourages us to examine what matters enough to deserve our attention. Sagittarius invites us to explore what might be possible. Capricorn wants to know what we're prepared to do about it.

There's room for new beginnings here, but also some wisdom in making sure we're working with the information we actually have.

📅 Planning Your Week With the Moon

Sunday: Consider what deserves a fresh beginning. The Scorpio New Moon arrives at 11:02 PM PST. Earlier in the day, review your priorities, particularly around trust, shared resources, financial matters, or something requiring a deeper commitment.

Monday: Investigate the details. The Scorpio Moon favors research, financial reviews, and private conversations. It goes Void of Course at 3:25 PM PST, making the later afternoon and evening better suited to familiar responsibilities.

Tuesday: Explore another possibility. Sagittarius arrives at 12:35 AM PST. Consider education, travel planning, new experiences, and conversations that broaden your understanding.

Wednesday: Learn something worth using. The Sagittarius Moon continues, favoring study, teaching, brainstorming, and connecting ideas. Veterans Day is also an opportunity to recognize those who have served.

Thursday: Give an idea some structure. Sagittarius goes Void of Course at 3:29 AM PST, and Capricorn arrives at 12:27 PM. The afternoon favors budgeting, organizing, setting priorities, and establishing realistic next steps.

Friday: Reconsider what's been under review. Mercury stations direct in Scorpio at approximately 7:53 AM PST, followed by Venus in Libra at approximately 4:27 PM PST. Revisit conversations, financial arrangements, and relationship expectations, remembering that clarity may develop gradually.

Saturday: Make manageable progress. The Waxing Crescent Moon in Capricorn favors preparing for the coming week, organizing responsibilities, and establishing useful routines. The Moon goes Void of Course at 10:55 AM PST.

Void-of-Course Moon periods (Pacific Standard Time):

Monday, November 9, at 3:25 PM through Tuesday, November 10, at 12:35 AM

Thursday, November 12: 3:29 AM–12:27 PM

🌙 Luna's Tip for Void-of-Course Moons

A Void-of-Course Moon isn't a reason to cancel your plans or hide from your to-do list! Think of it as a better time to finish what you've started rather than launch something brand-new. Catch up on emails, organize your space, handle familiar tasks, or revisit a project that needs attention.

If possible, save major purchases, important agreements, and big announcements for after the Moon enters its next sign.

And if life doesn't cooperate with the Lunar calendar? Carry on! The Moon is a planning tool, not your boss. 😉

🌑 Sunday, November 8

Dark Moon transitioning to New Moon • 0% • Moon in Scorpio
Exact New Moon: 11:02 PM PST

There's a New Moon in Scorpio tonight, and this one isn't particularly interested in superficial answers.

Scorpio is associated with trust, intimacy, shared resources, investigation, and the commitments that require something more substantial than enthusiasm.

With the New Moon arriving at 11:02 PM, much of Sunday is spent approaching the end of the previous Lunar cycle. That makes it a useful time to consider what you've learned recently before deciding what deserves your attention next.

Maybe you've been thinking about changing how you manage money, approaching a relationship differently, or investing more seriously in a personal goal.

Rather than choosing an intention simply because it sounds inspiring, ask what it would actually mean to pursue it.

There's another consideration: Mercury and Venus are both retrograde as this New Moon arrives.

That doesn't prevent a fresh beginning, but it may mean you're starting with a better understanding of something you've already been examining.

Sometimes a new chapter begins because we've finally asked the right question about the previous one.

💎 Crystal Companion: Obsidian: Traditionally associated with protection and introspection, a fitting companion for Scorpio's interest in examining what lies beneath the surface.

🌑 Monday, November 9

New Moon • 0% • Moon in Scorpio
Scorpio Moon Void of Course begins at 3:25 PM PST

Monday gives us our first full day following the Scorpio New Moon.

And while new beginnings are exciting, Scorpio would prefer that we understand what we're getting involved in.

This is a useful day for researching an important purchase, reviewing financial arrangements, looking more closely at an agreement, or having a private conversation that requires honesty.

If you've set an intention involving shared responsibilities, trust, or a long-term commitment, consider what information would help you move forward.

For example, deciding to improve your finances is a start. Looking at where the money actually goes is considerably more useful.

The Moon goes Void of Course at 3:25 PM, so if you're following traditional Lunar timing, consider handling important discussions or new arrangements earlier in the day.

Afterward, familiar work, reviewing notes, and finishing existing tasks may be a better fit.

There's no need to accomplish an entire New Moon intention before dinner.

💎 Crystal Companion: Labradorite: Often connected with insight and navigating change, particularly fitting when new information is helping you reconsider an old assumption.

🌒 Tuesday, November 10

Waxing Crescent • 2% • Moon enters Sagittarius at 12:35 AM PST

After Scorpio's concentrated attention, Sagittarius arrives with a question of its own.

What else is possible?

The Moon is now a young Waxing Crescent, and Sagittarius encourages exploration, learning, and considering options beyond the familiar.

This is a useful day to research a class, investigate a business opportunity, explore a travel idea, or speak with someone whose experience differs from yours.

You don't have to make a commitment today. In fact, with Mercury still retrograde, gathering information may be more useful than rushing toward a final answer.

Sagittarius has a wonderful ability to make possibilities feel exciting. It can also underestimate the amount of time, money, or effort involved.

So enjoy the inspiration, but give the practical details a little attention too.

An opportunity doesn't become less interesting because you've asked what it costs.

💎 Crystal Companion: Sodalite: Associated with learning and clear reasoning, a useful choice when curiosity is leading you toward unfamiliar information.

🌒 Wednesday, November 11

Waxing Crescent • 6% • Moon in Sagittarius

The Sagittarius Moon continues, bringing an emphasis on knowledge, perspective, and the value of experience.

It's also Veterans Day in the United States, a day to recognize and honor those who have served in the military.

Sagittarius is traditionally connected with learning from the wider world, making this a fitting day to consider what we can learn from experiences beyond our own.

In everyday life, Wednesday favors education, thoughtful discussion, teaching, and exploring subjects that challenge familiar assumptions.

Maybe there's a professional skill you've been meaning to develop. Perhaps you're considering a course but haven't compared the options. Or someone has recommended a different approach to a problem you've been working on.

Give the idea some attention.

You don't need to enroll in three courses, reorganize your schedule, and announce a new career direction by lunchtime.

One useful piece of knowledge can be enough to change how you approach something.

💎 Crystal Companion: Fluorite: Traditionally linked with mental clarity and organizing information, especially appropriate when you're sorting through new ideas and deciding which deserve further study.

🌒 Thursday, November 12

Waxing Crescent • 11% • Sagittarius → Capricorn at 12:27 PM PST
Sagittarius Moon Void of Course: 3:29 AM–12:27 PM

Thursday begins with the Sagittarius Moon Void of Course, so the morning may be better suited to familiar work, reviewing research, and finishing something already underway.

Then Capricorn arrives at 12:27 PM.

And suddenly, that interesting idea needs a calendar, a budget, and someone willing to do the work.

Capricorn brings attention to structure, responsibility, and long-term results. With the Moon waxing, this is useful energy for giving a new intention its first practical foundation.

If you've spent Tuesday and Wednesday exploring possibilities, Thursday afternoon is a good time to determine what pursuing one of them would involve.

How much time can you realistically devote to it? What resources are available? Is there a smaller first step that would make sense?

You may discover that an idea is more achievable than you thought once you've organized the details.

Or you may realize it needs more preparation.

Either answer is useful.

💎 Crystal Companion: Tiger's Eye: Traditionally associated with determination and practical confidence, a fitting choice when it's time to turn an interesting possibility into a workable plan.

🌒 Friday, November 13

Waxing Crescent • 18% • Moon in Capricorn
Mercury stations direct in Scorpio at approximately 7:53 AM PST
Venus stations direct in Libra at approximately 4:27 PM PST

Well, Friday certainly deserves a place on the calendar.

Mercury and Venus both station direct today, ending their respective retrograde periods.

Mercury has been retrograde in Scorpio, emphasizing the review of conversations, information, agreements, and matters involving trust or shared resources.

Venus began its retrograde in Scorpio before returning to Libra, drawing attention to relationships, fairness, financial priorities, and what we value.

Their stations don't mean every unresolved issue suddenly disappears.

Wouldn't that be convenient?

But astrologically, these changes mark an important transition. Matters that have been under reconsideration may begin moving toward greater clarity as the planets gradually regain forward motion.

With the Moon in Capricorn, Friday is especially useful for taking a practical look at what you've learned.

Perhaps a conversation has helped clarify expectations. Maybe you've reconsidered an expense, a business arrangement, or how responsibilities are shared.

Rather than assuming everything is settled because the retrogrades have ended, consider what still needs to be discussed or confirmed.

Station days can feel like turning points, but the process of moving forward may take time.

Capricorn favors patience, organization, and decisions that can hold up beyond the excitement of the moment.

💎 Crystal Companion: Green Aventurine: Traditionally associated with opportunity, growth, and prosperity, a fitting companion when reconsidered priorities are beginning to develop into practical plans.

🌒 Saturday, November 14

Waxing Crescent • 26% • Moon in Capricorn
Capricorn Moon Void of Course begins at 10:55 AM PST

By Saturday, the Moon has reached 26% illumination, and the intentions introduced at the Scorpio New Moon are beginning to take shape.

Capricorn encourages us to look at what can be accomplished consistently rather than what sounds impressive in the moment.

This is a useful morning for preparing the coming week, organizing a project, reviewing responsibilities, or making progress on something that benefits from a clear structure.

If you've been considering a new commitment, ask what maintaining it would look like.

Not just the exciting first week. The ordinary weeks afterward.

The Moon goes Void of Course at 10:55 AM and remains there into early Sunday morning, so traditional Lunar timing favors familiar activities and leaving some flexibility in the rest of your Saturday.

Choose one responsibility you've been putting off and make it easier to manage. Update the schedule, organize the paperwork, or prepare what you'll need next week. Small improvements have a way of making Monday considerably less dramatic.

And if your weekend includes rest rather than another ambitious project, Capricorn can appreciate a sensible schedule.

Even one with absolutely nothing written in the afternoon.

💎 Crystal Companion: Garnet: Traditionally associated with perseverance and commitment, particularly fitting for goals that will benefit from consistent attention over time.

Luna's Thoughts~

What I find interesting about this week is that it begins with a New Moon while two planets are still asking us to reconsider things.

It's a reminder that a fresh beginning doesn't always require an entirely new idea.

Sometimes we've been working toward something for a while, and what changes is our understanding of how to approach it.

As the Moon begins growing again, give your intentions room to develop. Explore what's possible, ask useful questions, and make plans that reflect the life you're actually living.

And if Friday brings a little more clarity about something you've been reconsidering, wonderful.

You don't have to make every decision the minute the planets change direction.

Brightest Blessings,
Your Spiritual BFF Luna 💫
