November 9: Scorpio New Moon at 17° in Your 2nd House
Renewing your relationship with self worth, money, security, and what you truly value
Overall energy of the New Moon
This Scorpio New Moon invites you to plant seeds in the fertile ground of your 2nd house, the part of your chart connected to money, resources, self worth, personal values, and your sense of security. Scorpio asks you to go beneath the surface and look at what has been shaping your relationship with having enough. This is about more than your bank account. It is about whether you feel safe receiving, whether you trust your own abilities, and whether your daily choices reflect what matters most to you.
A New Moon is a fresh beginning, but Scorpio reminds us that new growth sometimes starts with letting something old fall away. You may be ready to release a belief that you must work harder than everyone else to deserve good things, that you have to do everything alone, or that your worth depends on how much you give. You do not need to carry every old story into the next chapter. You can honor what those experiences taught you without allowing them to decide what is possible now.
Your natal Moon at 16° Scorpio is within one degree of this New Moon, and your natal North Node at 12° Scorpio is within five degrees. This brings your emotional needs and karmic growth into the spotlight. You may feel more deeply connected to questions about what makes you feel safe, valued, and supported. Notice the emotional patterns that surface around money, receiving, and self worth. You are being invited to create security from a place of self trust rather than fear.
The ruler of this New Moon, Mars, is in your 11th house of friendships, community, hopes, and future dreams. This connects your personal values to the future you are building and the people you surround yourself with. Are your friendships and communities supporting your growth? Are your dreams aligned with what you truly want, or have you been chasing a version of success that no longer feels like yours? Your next chapter may ask you to be more intentional about who you build with and where you invest your energy.
This is a beautiful time to plant intentions around financial stability, self trust, healthy boundaries, and allowing yourself to receive. Rather than trying to force a specific outcome, focus on becoming available for the changes you want to welcome. Scorpio is a water sign, so let your intentions come from your emotional truth. Give yourself permission to feel what is ready to move, listen to what your intuition is revealing, and trust that you do not need to have every step figured out before you begin.
5 intentions to set
I am creating a relationship with money that supports my freedom, peace, and security.
I release old beliefs that tell me I must prove my worth to deserve abundance.
I welcome opportunities that honor my gifts, values, and authentic priorities.
I allow myself to receive support, love, and abundance without guilt.
I choose friendships, communities, and future goals that align with the person I am becoming.
5 blessings to welcome into this fertile ground
The blessing of self worth: May you recognize your value without needing outside approval.
The blessing of security: May you build a foundation that helps you feel grounded, supported, and capable.
The blessing of receiving: May you become more comfortable allowing good things to find their way to you.
The blessing of aligned community: May the right people encourage your growth and celebrate your becoming.
The blessing of transformation: May you release what no longer reflects your values and make room for a richer, more authentic life.
Crystal: Black Obsidian
Black Obsidian is a fitting symbolic companion for Scorpio's deep, honest energy. Use it as a reminder to look beneath the surface, recognize old patterns around security and self worth, and release what you are ready to outgrow. Let it represent grounded courage rather than fear.
Step by step Scorpio New Moon water intention ritual
You will need: A bowl of water, a small piece of paper, a pen, a candle, and Black Obsidian if you have it.
Step 1: Create a quiet space
Place your bowl of water on a table with your candle and crystal nearby. Light your candle safely. Take a few slow breaths and let your attention settle. Imagine the water representing your emotional world: deep, honest, and ready to make room for something new.
Step 2: Name what you are ready to release
On one side of your paper, write down the beliefs or habits around money, security, or worth that you no longer want to carry. Be honest. You might write, “I release the belief that I must overwork to deserve abundance,” or “I release the fear of receiving help.”
Step 3: Let the water hold your emotions
Place your hands around the bowl without putting the paper or crystal into the water. Look at the water and allow any feelings to surface without judging them. Say:
“I honor what brought me here, and I allow myself to grow beyond what no longer supports me.”
Step 4: Plant your intentions
On the other side of the paper, write three intentions for this new cycle. Keep them connected to what you value, what makes you feel secure, and what you are ready to receive. Read each one aloud slowly, as if you are making a commitment to yourself.
Step 5: Connect with the water element
Touch a fingertip to the water and then to your heart. Imagine yourself becoming more open to receiving while remaining grounded in your own value. Say:
“Like water, I am allowed to move, change, soften, and find a new path. I am worthy of the security I am building and the abundance I am learning to receive.”
Step 6: Close the ritual
Keep your intention paper somewhere meaningful. Pour the water into the sink or onto the earth as a symbolic act of releasing what you are ready to let go of. Extinguish your candle safely. Choose one practical action you can take this week to support an intention you have set.

November 13: Mercury and Venus Turn Direct
Clarity around your 2nd House and 1st House themes
This day brings two important shifts in areas that have been asking for reflection. Mercury turns direct in Scorpio in your 2nd house of money, self worth, and personal values, while Venus turns direct in Libra in your 1st house of identity, confidence, and your relationship with yourself. Together, these shifts can feel like coming up for air after a period of reconsideration. Matters that seemed tangled may begin to make more sense, and you may feel ready to move forward with a clearer understanding of what matters to you.
Mercury's shift encourages you to revisit conversations, financial choices, and the stories you tell yourself about security and worth. Venus's shift brings attention back to how you value yourself, how you express your needs, and how you want to be met in your relationships. You may recognize that a decision about money is also a decision about self respect, or that a relationship pattern has been influencing how confidently you show up in the world.
Because both planets have been retrograde, this is less about rushing into something new and more about using what you have learned. You may be able to see where you have outgrown an old belief, where a conversation needs to continue, or where you are ready to make a different choice. The real gift is not simply getting back to normal. It is moving forward with a better understanding of yourself, your values, and the relationships you want to nurture.
November 13: Mercury Turns Direct in Scorpio at 5° — 2nd House
Clarity around money, self worth, and personal values
Overall energy
Mercury turning direct in your 2nd house brings a gradual shift in the way you think and communicate about money, security, and what you value. The past few weeks may have encouraged you to revisit financial decisions, reconsider what you truly need, or question old assumptions about what it means to be secure. As Mercury begins moving forward again, conversations and plans that felt uncertain may start to become easier to navigate.
Scorpio asks you to be honest about what lies beneath your decisions. Sometimes a money concern is connected to a deeper fear of not having enough, not being supported, or losing control. You may have noticed how certain beliefs influence your choices, even when those beliefs no longer reflect your circumstances. This is an opportunity to make decisions from greater awareness instead of automatically reacting from an old fear.
Your natal Neptune at 0° Scorpio is within five degrees of Mercury at 5° Scorpio. This highlights the importance of separating intuition from assumption. You may be more aware of where you have been relying on hope, reading between the lines, or avoiding a practical detail because it felt uncomfortable. Give yourself permission to check the facts while still honoring your instincts.
You may also find that words come more easily now. A conversation about finances, personal boundaries, or what you need to feel secure could finally move forward. If something still feels unclear, you do not have to force an answer. Ask better questions, gather the information you need, and give yourself time to decide. Clarity is not always a lightning bolt; sometimes it is the quiet realization that you finally know what you are no longer willing to ignore.
As Mercury moves forward, use what you have learned to create a more supportive relationship with your resources and your own value. You are not required to repeat an old pattern just because it is familiar. You can choose a different response, make a more informed decision, and build security in a way that feels aligned with who you are becoming.

5 ways clarity may have been gained
Recognizing a pattern: You can see how an old belief has been influencing your choices.
Naming what you need: You have a clearer understanding of what helps you feel secure.
Asking direct questions: You are more willing to seek facts instead of relying on assumptions.
Reconsidering your priorities: You know more clearly what deserves your resources and attention.

November 13: Venus Turns Direct in Libra at 22° — 1st House
Renewed confidence, self worth, and authentic self expression
Overall energy
Venus turning direct in your 1st house marks a turning point in how you see yourself, express your needs, and relate to the world around you. The recent retrograde period may have encouraged you to reconsider what makes you feel beautiful, confident, appreciated, and comfortable in your own skin. You may have questioned whether you have been showing up as your authentic self or adjusting too much to meet other people's expectations.
With Venus in Libra, relationships and balance are important themes, but this is also about your relationship with yourself. You may be recognizing where keeping the peace has come at the expense of your own preferences or where you have waited for outside approval before trusting your choices. Venus moving direct invites you to bring those lessons into your everyday life. You can value connection without making yourself responsible for everyone's comfort.
You may feel more ready to make choices that reflect your identity, preferences, and personal values. This could involve the way you present yourself, how you communicate your needs, or the boundaries you set in relationships. You do not have to become someone new to move forward. You can simply allow more of who you already are to be visible.
This shift may also help you recognize which relationships and environments genuinely appreciate you. You may feel more ready to speak honestly about what you want, make choices that reflect your preferences, or stop negotiating away parts of yourself just to avoid discomfort. As Venus gains forward momentum, give yourself permission to choose what feels balanced and nourishing rather than what looks good to everyone else.
The deeper gift is learning that self respect and connection can exist together. You can be gracious without overgiving, loving without losing yourself, and confident without needing to prove anything. Let the lessons of the retrograde become practical changes in how you treat yourself. The way you value yourself sets the tone for what you are willing to welcome into your life.
