A new Moon comes once in every lunar cycle, which runs a little under thirty days on average. The list on this page is computed from the sky for each date, not estimated from a rule of thumb.

Your sign
The next new Moon for your sign
The position of the new Moon is the same for everyone, but its house depends on your sun sign. The new Moon of 9 Nov 2026, 07:02 UTC falls in Scorpio. This page pairs each whole-sign house with a sun sign, so the house that applies to you is the one paired with your own sign. Find that pairing on this page and read the matching house section below. The sign tells you where the Moon stands in the sky. The house tells you which part of your life that position touches. Keep the sign as the mood of the event and the house as the place to look.
Aries — your 8th house
The new Moon of 9 Nov 2026 falls in your 8th house.
This house holds shared resources, intimacy, debts and gifts between people, and the things you keep or give up within a close bond. A new Moon here may stir questions about what is owed and what is shared. It can also open a turn toward honesty about something private. Practical attention: review one shared account, promise, or private matter, and say plainly what it is. Keep the first part of that conversation to facts before you move on to feelings.
Taurus — your 7th house
The new Moon of 9 Nov 2026 falls in your 7th house.
This house holds partnerships, agreements, and the one-to-one relationships where you meet another person as an equal. A new Moon here tends to turn the spotlight onto a particular person or a shared arrangement. It may ask what you need from others and what you are offering in return. Practical attention: name one agreement you already share with someone, and ask them what they understand it to be. Listen to the whole answer before you reply.
Gemini — your 6th house
The new Moon of 9 Nov 2026 falls in your 6th house.
This house holds daily work, routines, the habits you keep when nobody is watching, and the small duties that keep a life running. A new Moon here turns attention toward how your days are built. It can highlight a routine that has stopped serving you, or one you have meant to start for a long time. Practical attention: choose one repeated task and write down the steps as they actually happen. Compare that record with how you remember doing it.
Cancer — your 5th house
The new Moon of 9 Nov 2026 falls in your 5th house.
This house is the part of your chart connected with play, creative work, romance, and the pleasure of making something that is yours. A new Moon here tends to bring creative ideas to the surface, sometimes in a playful or unexpected form. A romantic or artistic project may feel newly possible. Practical attention: set aside one hour for a making project with no goal beyond the making itself. Notice what you enjoy when nobody is grading the result.
Leo — your 4th house
The new Moon of 9 Nov 2026 falls in your 4th house.
This house holds home, family roots, the private base you return to, and the ground under daily life. A new Moon here often draws attention toward a room, a family matter, or the question of where you feel settled. It is a quiet point for the inner life rather than the public one. Practical attention: tidy one space you use every evening, and notice what it says about how you live. Let the change stay small and specific.
Virgo — your 3rd house
The new Moon of 9 Nov 2026 falls in your 3rd house.
This house is the part of your chart that handles everyday talk, short trips, notes, neighbours and the first messages of the day. A new Moon here tends to shift how information moves through your days. A short message may carry more weight than you expected. Practical attention: before you send a message that matters, reread it once, then wait until you are sure you still mean it. Keep one open conversation going with a neighbour or a sibling.
Libra — your 2nd house
The new Moon of 9 Nov 2026 falls in your 2nd house.
This house holds what you own, earn and value, and how you judge what is worth keeping. A new Moon here turns attention toward your resources and your sense of your own worth. A stored-up item or an old subscription may suddenly look more visible than before. Practical attention: list the three things you spend on most often, and ask whether each still matches what you care about. Keep that review to one sitting, and decide nothing in a hurry.
Scorpio — your 1st house
The new Moon of 9 Nov 2026 falls in your 1st house.
This house is the part of your chart that holds how you begin and how you present yourself to others. A new Moon here tends to bring a turn in your appearance and manner. It may raise a question about which version of you is ready to be seen. Practical attention: write one sentence describing who you are in this cycle, and leave it unedited until the end. Notice how you introduce yourself over the next few days.
Sagittarius — your 12th house
The new Moon of 9 Nov 2026 falls in your 12th house.
This house is the quiet part of your chart. It holds rest, retreat, the work done out of sight, endings, and what you are ready to release. A new Moon here tends to invite a pause and a review of what is finished. It can feel like a reset of the inner life rather than a push outward. Practical attention: set aside one evening without screens, and write what you are ready to let go of. Keep the list short and private, and close it without fixing anything else.
Capricorn — your 11th house
The new Moon of 9 Nov 2026 falls in your 11th house.
This house holds friendships, groups, shared causes, and the hopes you hold for a future that includes other people. A new Moon here tends to bring a friend, a community or a shared plan into focus. It may show which group you actually belong to. Practical attention: send one message to a friend you have been thinking about, and ask a question rather than reporting news. Let the reply shape the next step.
Aquarius — your 10th house
The new Moon of 9 Nov 2026 falls in your 10th house.
This house is the part of your chart that handles career, public responsibility, and how you are seen by people who rely on your work. A new Moon here turns attention toward a visible goal or a role you already hold. It may ask whether the work you do still matches the work you intend. Practical attention: write down the next concrete step that a colleague, client or audience would recognise. Keep it small enough to finish in one sitting.
Pisces — your 9th house
The new Moon of 9 Nov 2026 falls in your 9th house.
This house holds long journeys, study, systems of belief, publishing, and the wider view you take of your own life. A new Moon here tends to draw attention toward learning and meaning. A question you have been asking yourself may need a broader frame. Practical attention: choose one book, course, or teacher you have not yet explored, and read the first chapter without deciding whether it persuades you. Write down one question it raises.
The new Moon
What a new Moon is
A new Moon is the phase in which the Moon lies in the same direction from Earth as the Sun. The Moon sits roughly between Earth and the Sun at that moment. Its lit half faces away from us, so the disc looks dark. Astronomers call this alignment a conjunction of the two bodies, and the whole monthly cycle is a lunation. Each lunation starts at one new Moon and ends at the next. Across the month the Moon travels along the ecliptic, the band of sky where the Sun also appears, so its sign changes every few days. On a chart the new Moon is read in two ways: by the sign the Moon occupies, and by the house it falls in for you. The moment itself matters more than the day. The page gives the exact time in UTC for every date it lists. Many people treat the phase as a quiet reset point rather than a loud event. Attention often gathers around it: a question you have been carrying, a plan you have not written down, or a conversation you keep postponing. The phase does not do that work for you. It only marks the place in the cycle where you can look again.
Looking up
Why you cannot see it, and when the crescent returns
At the moment of a new Moon the Moon stands next to the Sun in the sky, so you cannot see it. Its lit side faces away from Earth, so the disc is dark against a dark or bright background. The Moon rises and sets with the Sun, so it sits in the Sun's glare. A thin crescent usually returns a day or two later. It shows low in the western sky soon after sunset, and it sets not long after. Clear air, a low horizon, and a spot away from street lights all help. Look for the crescent on the evening after the new Moon, and check the next evening if the first one is hazy. Your own eyes are the test. The date above tells you when to start looking.
Eclipses
When a new Moon is a solar eclipse
Sometimes a new Moon falls so close to the line between Earth and the Sun that the Moon's shadow crosses Earth. People along a narrow track see the Sun fully covered, or as a bright ring when the eclipse is annular. A much wider region sees it only partly covered. That event is a solar eclipse, and the Eclipse column of the table on this page names the type of any new Moon that is one. If you plan to watch one, learn where its path crosses before you travel. Never look at the Sun without proper eye protection, even when it looks dim. An eclipse changes the tone of a cycle for many readers, but it does not decide what you choose to do with the cycle.

- A total solar eclipse, in Leo.
Frequently asked questions
When is the next new Moon?
The new Moon of 9 Nov 2026, 07:02 UTC falls in Scorpio. That time is given in UTC, so the local date may differ by one day depending on where you live. The entries in the list above continue the schedule through the end of the calendar window. Use the date as the start of the cycle, and check the local time before you plan anything around it.
Can you see a new Moon?
Usually not. At the moment of the new Moon, the lit half faces away from Earth, so the disc is too dark to pick out against the sky. A thin crescent usually appears a day or two later, low in the western sky after sunset. Clear air and a flat horizon make it easier to find. Treat the first sighting as the start of the cycle.
What does the new Moon in Scorpio mean?
Read the sign as the tone of the start, not a verdict on what follows. The Moon is in Scorpio at the moment of the phase, which colours the mood of the new cycle. The house that applies to you names the part of your life the phase touches. Use the sign to notice what you want to begin, and the house to see where it belongs.
How often is there a new Moon?
A new Moon happens once in every lunar cycle, so twelve or thirteen times in a year. The cycle lasts a little under thirty days on average, and the phase drifts through the calendar as it goes. The list above shows the actual spacing for the dates it covers. Use the list rather than the average when you plan anything.
Is the next new Moon a solar eclipse?
The Eclipse column names a solar eclipse only when the calendar records one, so check the row for the date you plan around. A solar eclipse needs the Moon to pass almost exactly between Earth and the Sun. Read the eclipse section above for what the event means and how to watch it safely.
