You'll be full of passion and drive on Nov. 13.
Eclipse season may be over, but intense shifts are still surging through the cosmos. Enter: a new moon that peaks on Nov. 13, 2023 at 4:27 a.m. ET (1:27 a.m. PT) in the powerful sign of Scorpio. With the water sign pointing us toward our passions, your heart’s desires are very much in reach — especially if you’re one of the four zodiac signs most affected by November’s new moon.
In astrology, new moons are typically a chance to catch your breath and set intentions for the future. That’s still true here, but this lunation is also a moment for laying out a solid plan of action. What’s the path toward bringing your dreams to life? Let this lunation boost your confidence that your goals are truly possible.
“The Nov. 13 new moon in Scorpio will light our inner fire, as it is the last opportunity of the year to make bold moves,” says astrologer Narayana Montufar (referring to a tense transit in an upcoming new moon on Dec. 12).
This lunation is all about planting seeds, but in order to do that, Scorpio asks you to let go of some baggage. Being fearless might involve cutting some people out, or as Montufar puts it, using the moon’s energy “to liberate us from the past.”
Here are the four zodiac signs who will feel most strongly impacted by the November’s new moon:
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
The new moon is igniting your need for intimacy, Taurus, and it might spark new relationships. Keep an open mind and don’t be afraid to be vulnerable with people. Single Taureans get Montufar’s stamp of approval for diving into romance.
“Those partnered up may feel drawn to their lover, so take control! Ultimately, this is about cultivating connection, says Montufar. If you really want to focus on elevating your love life, consider turning to a professional (like a couples therapist or sex therapist, life coach, or astrologer).
Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22)
All work and no play, Leo? If balance has been out of reach lately, it’s time to firm up your boundaries. But don’t abandon any area of your life entirely — everything is connected. “Leos are bound to experience changes at home that affect their career or vice-versa,” Montufar says. You might get the opportunity to work from home, or a conversation with your partner might spark an idea at work.
Take a deep breath. This new moon could deliver the break you need to avoid burnout.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)
Manifesting is the name of the game, Scorpio. With the new moon orbiting in your native sign, it’s time for a total transformation. Take stock of all aspects of your life, throw out old convictions, and set new plans into motion.
“Anything that Scorpios begins now has a chance of taking off under this fascinating new moon,” Montufar says. Because the Beaver Moon forms a trine with Neptune, which governs the mystical realm, it’s prime time to turn your dreams into reality.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)
The new moon is sparking interest in your public life, Aquarius, and you may feel extra pressure with all these eyes on you. But have confidence — and be bold in your pursuit at work! Your career is about to get a major glowup, especially since powerful Pluto is set to enter your sign in March 2024.
“Since this new moon is forming a sextile with Pluto, this will be the very beginning of a long story that develops in the realm of career,” Montufar says.
