A Fresh Reset: The Scorpio New Moon on 11/9 and One Small Thing Each Zodiac Sign Can Start This Week

This article covers 11/9–11/15, 2026 (Taiwan time), starting from the Scorpio New Moon on 11/9. It's a lighthearted look at everyday astrology, not a prediction. Read it for fun, and feel free to spot yourself in it.

When Is the Scorpio New Moon on 11/9?

"I'm definitely going to go to bed earlier starting next week." How many times have you said that this year? Plans often get stuck on "which day do we start?" Luckily, on Monday, 11/9/2026 at 15:02 (Taiwan time), the Sun and Moon meet at 16 degrees Scorpio. That's the Scorpio New Moon, and this one is not an eclipse.

The New Moon is the starting point where the Moon goes from dark to bright, and in astrology it's often treated as a moment to "reset." Scorpio values depth and focus, so rather than setting ten new goals all at once, it's better to pick one small thing and quietly do it well. This article picks one small action for each of the 12 signs that you can start this week (11/9–11/15). No wishing, no rituals, just follow along.

By the way, Mercury turns direct on 11/13 and Venus on 11/14, so communication and relationship snags will gradually loosen in the second half of the week. Get started in the first half, and things will move along more easily in the second half.

Fire Signs: Spark One Small Thing, No Need to Sprint All the Way

Aries: Sort Out One "Shared Money" Matter

This New Moon falls in Aries' eighth house, so money you split with others, things you've lent out, and bills you agreed to share evenly all come to the surface. You're usually very generous, always swiping the card first at group dinners, and the money you've covered for others keeps piling up.

This week's small thing: Open your budgeting app or chat history and list all the money you've fronted that hasn't been paid back. If you're seeing someone, find a relaxed moment to talk about how the two of you split expenses. If you're single, settle the small debts with roommates and friends first, and you'll feel much lighter.

Leo: Keep a Corner of Your Home Just for Yourself

This New Moon falls in Leo's fourth house, which relates to home, family, and where you live. You keep up a strong front outside, and when you get home all you want is to collapse on the sofa and scroll your phone, even though your room is too messy to look at.

This week's small thing: Pick a small corner of your home, such as your desk, nightstand, or entryway, and spend twenty minutes tidying it up. Add a small lamp or a plant. If you live with family, you could also arrange a dinner where everyone actually sits down together. If you live alone, cook yourself a meal with no phone at the table.

Sagittarius: Leave Ten Minutes of Doing Nothing Before Bed Each Day

This New Moon falls in Sagittarius' twelfth house, the place of rest, solitude, and letting go. Sagittarius season doesn't begin until 11/22, and until then your schedule may already be packed with gatherings and plans, leaving no time even to zone out.

This week's small thing: Before bed, put your phone somewhere you can't reach it and give yourself ten minutes. Writing three lines in a journal or simply listening to one song is enough. Rest up this week so you can fully enjoy your birthday month.

Earth Signs: Steady One, This Time Adjust One Small Habit

Taurus: Take the Initiative to Invite Someone to a Good Meal

This New Moon falls in the seventh house, opposite Taurus, and the focus is on one-on-one relationships, including partners, close friends, and collaborators. You're used to waiting for others to invite you and rarely speak up yourself.

This week's small thing: Send one specific invitation, such as "Ramen at that place after work on Thursday?" If you're seeing someone, pick an evening with no work talk. If you're in a situationship, a daytime coffee date is the lowest pressure. If you're single, reaching out to an old friend you haven't seen in ages is also great.

Virgo: Say That One Thing You've Wanted to Say for a Long Time

This New Moon falls in Virgo's third house, related to communication, learning, and short trips. You often draft three versions of a message in your head, and end up not sending any of them.

This week's small thing: Pick one sentence that's been stuck for a long time, maybe a reminder to a coworker or a thank-you to a friend, and say it in the simplest version. No need to polish it to perfection. You could also sign up for that online class you've wanted to take for ages, and just attend the first session.

Capricorn: Be the One Who Gets Taken Care Of in the Group Chat, Just Once

This New Moon falls in Capricorn's eleventh house, about friends, groups, and future plans. With work wrapping up for the year, you're likely to become the one who quietly shoulders everything again.

This week's small thing: Say "I've been a bit tired lately" in your friend group chat and see how everyone replies. If someone invites you out, say yes to one get-together that isn't just for social obligation. You could also spend five minutes writing down one thing you'd like to do next year. Just write it down, no need to plan yet.

Air Signs: Lots of Ideas, This Week Pick One to Land

Gemini: Adjust One Small Habit You Do Every Day

This New Moon falls in Gemini's sixth house, which governs daily routines, work processes, and physical health. Your to-do list is long, you often switch between ten things in a day, and in the end each one is only half done.

This week's small thing: Change just one habit, such as drinking a glass of warm water before looking at your phone in the morning, or replying to all your messages in one go at a set time each day. Doing it for seven days in a row is more likely to stick than changing five habits at once.

Libra: Make One Small Decision About Your Money

This New Moon falls in Libra's second house, related to money, income, and what you value. Venus has been retrograde in your sign lately and doesn't turn direct until 11/14, so you may have been wondering, "Should I really spend this money or not?"

This week's small thing: If you invest, don't rush to add or exit. Spend half an hour reviewing your current allocation and write down the range you're comfortable with. If you don't invest, start by opening a dedicated savings account and transferring a small amount into it every payday.

Aquarius: Take On One Small Task at Work

This New Moon falls in Aquarius' tenth house, about work, career, and how others see you. You have lots of ideas, but you often get halfway through thinking and hand it off to someone else.

This week's small thing: Volunteer for one small task you can finish, and see it through from start to end. If you've been thinking about changing jobs or further study lately, first update one section of your résumé or bookmark a course you're interested in. Take it one step at a time.

Water Signs: Sort Out Your Emotions Along with the New Moon

Cancer: Pick Up a Small Hobby That Makes You Happy Again

This New Moon falls in Cancer's fifth house, which governs romance, fun, and creativity. You've probably been taking care of others lately and haven't done something purely for your own happiness in a long time.

This week's small thing: Revisit a hobby you used to love once. Drawing, baking cookies, or going to a movie all work. If you're seeing someone, plan a date with no phones. If you're single, going to an exhibition by yourself is also good, and a good mood will make you even more attractive.

Scorpio: Give Yourself a New Look

This New Moon falls in Scorpio's own sign, the best time of the year to "reintroduce yourself." You're used to hiding your real thoughts, and you rarely even say what you like.

This week's small thing: Start with a small outward change. A new haircut, a new lipstick, or replacing the phone wallpaper you've used for three years all count. You could also share one thing you truly love on social media, so the people around you get to know you a little better.

Pisces: Finish a Book That's Been Sitting on Your Shelf for Ages

This New Moon falls in Pisces' ninth house, related to learning, faraway places, and how you see the world. Your bookshelf may have a few books you bought long ago and only got ten pages into.

This week's small thing: Pick one and read ten pages a day, or sign up for a short course. If you have a bit of budget, you could also look up the next place you'd like to visit and save the flight prices to your favorites, waiting for the right moment.

3 Things to Do First This Week

• Pick just one small thing, write it on a sticky note and put it where you can see it. Finish it before moving on to the next.
• Use the first half of the week (11/9–11/12) to get started, and the second half (11/13–11/15), after Mercury and Venus turn direct, to refine the details.
• It's okay if you can't manage it. There's a New Moon every month, so just reset again next month.
