The Moon is still in Libra on November 7th, but it's a waning crescent now—we're three days out from the New Moon in Scorpio that arrives on November 9th. This is the dark of the lunar cycle, the moment when the Moon disappears from the night sky and with it, a certain kind of visibility. What's being hidden? What's being shed? The Sun sits at 14° Scorpio, Mercury at 9° Scorpio, both moving through the sign of depth and transformation. Venus holds steady in Libra at 23°, still weighing choices and relationships, but the pull now is toward what lies beneath the surface. We are standing at the threshold between what we've been holding and what we're about to release.
Mars and Jupiter together in Leo at 21° and 25° respectively keep firing outward—there's still expansion, still hunger, still a push to be seen and matter. But that Scorpio Sun and Mercury are asking you to turn inward first, to sit with what you know and what you're afraid to admit. The waning crescent favors introspection, confession, the hard conversations you've been putting off. Saturn in Aries reminds us that boundaries matter, that we can't move into what's next without clarity about what we're willing to carry. This is a day for turning inward before we turn toward anything new.

♈ Aries
March 21 – April 19
settling into the dark
Saturn in your sign and Neptune right there with it are asking you to get quiet and listen—not to noise from outside, but to the small voice inside that knows what you need. The waning Moon in Libra is lighting up your solar eighth house, the realm of shared resources, intimacy, and what you owe or are owed. Don't move yet. Don't make the grand gesture. What would happen if you simply admitted something true?
Cosmic Homework: Tell one person something about yourself that you have kept private.
♉ Taurus
April 20 – May 20
the mirror shows everything
Venus is in Libra, your solar seventh house of partnership and mirrors, and right now it's showing you exactly who you are in relation to others. The waning Moon moves through this same house—you're seeing the reflection more clearly now, and some of what you see might sting. Mercury in Scorpio is probing your ninth house, asking hard questions about belief, commitment, and what you actually want versus what you think you should want. This is the moment before the reset. What needs to change in how you show up?
Cosmic Homework: Ask someone you trust how they genuinely see you, and don't explain yourself while they answer.
♊ Gemini
May 21 – June 20
work and rest collide
The Moon wanes through your solar sixth house of work, daily life, and service. Mercury in Scorpio, your solar eighth house, is digging into the things you don't usually speak about—your fears about your body, your work, your value. This is the dark part of the lunar cycle, and it's landing right on the practical details of your life. Mars and Jupiter in Leo are still pushing you toward creative expression and play, but November 7th is asking you to slow down and tend to something you've been neglecting. What does your body need that your schedule won't give it?
Cosmic Homework: Cancel one obligation that doesn't serve you and replace it with thirty minutes of rest.
♋ Cancer
June 21 – July 22
the heart knows
Mars and Jupiter are both in your solar fifth house of love, creativity, and self-expression, and they want you loud and visible. But the Sun and Mercury in Scorpio are in your solar seventh house of partnership, asking harder questions about who you actually want and why. The waning Moon in Libra is softening the edges, asking you to feel your way through rather than think your way through. You're being asked to love more honestly, to create more boldly, but first to get clear about what you truly desire versus what you think will make you safe.
Cosmic Homework: Write down one thing you want from a romantic or creative partnership that scares you to name.
♌ Leo
July 23 – August 22
home, foundations, truth
Mars and Jupiter are both in your sign now, and you're running on fuel and confidence. But pull back for a moment—the Sun and Mercury in Scorpio are lighting up your solar sixth house, asking you to examine the foundations beneath all that fire. What habits are holding you back? What patterns in your home or daily life need to shift? The waning Moon in Libra is moving through your solar fourth house, the realm of family, roots, and what grounds you. This isn't about stopping. It's about strengthening the ground beneath you so you can burn even brighter.
Cosmic Homework: Repair or clean one broken thing in your home that you've been ignoring.
♍ Virgo
August 23 – September 22
words matter now
Mercury in Scorpio is your ruling planet moving through your solar fifth house of expression, creativity, and risk. This is powerful—you're being asked to say things you normally wouldn't, to risk being misunderstood in order to be true. The Sun is there too, lighting up what wants to come through you. The waning Moon in Libra is in your solar third house, the realm of communication and connection. You have something to say, and the words are sharp and real. The question is whether you're brave enough to let them out before the New Moon resets everything on November 9th.
Cosmic Homework: Write a message to someone that tells them something true, then decide whether to send it.
♎ Libra
September 23 – October 22
what you value, what costs you
Venus is in your sign, and you're feeling your own magnetism. But the Sun and Mercury in Scorpio are in your solar fourth house, asking you to look at what grounds you, what you've built, what you're willing to protect. The waning Moon is also in your sign—you're at a threshold, a moment of release before renewal. Money, self-worth, and what you're willing to exchange for what you want are all on the table. This is a good time to audit not just your finances, but your values. Are they still true?
Cosmic Homework: List three things you spend money or energy on that don't align with who you actually are.
♏ Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
the words you've held back
The Sun is in your sign at 14° Scorpio, and Mercury is right there with it at 9° Scorpio. This is your moment—you're being asked to speak, to clarify, to say the thing you've been rehearsing in your head. The waning Moon in Libra is moving through your solar twelfth house, the hidden realm. What do people not know about you? What have you been keeping private that wants to come forward? The New Moon in your sign on November 9th will reset everything, so these days before it are crucial. What needs to be said before the slate wipes clean?
Cosmic Homework: Tell someone in your life one thing they've never heard you say before.
♐ Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
friendships, groups, visions
The Sun and Mercury in Scorpio are in your solar eleventh house of friendships, groups, and shared visions. You're being asked to look hard at who you're moving toward and why, and whether those people actually align with who you're becoming. Jupiter in Leo is still expanding your sense of what's possible, but this waning Moon cycle is about discernment. Not everyone who feels good is good for you. Not every vision is worth your time. What groups or relationships have you stayed in out of habit rather than genuine connection?
Cosmic Homework: Name one friendship or group involvement that no longer serves you and commit to having a conversation about it.
♑ Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
ambition and authenticity
The Sun and Mercury in Scorpio are lighting up your solar tenth house of career, reputation, and public standing. This is the realm of what people see, what you're known for, what you're building toward. The waning Moon in Libra is moving through your solar ninth house, asking you to consider the bigger picture—is what you're chasing actually aligned with your values? Mars and Jupiter in Leo are still pushing upward, still hungry for recognition. But the dark of the lunar cycle is asking you to get honest: are you climbing toward something that matters, or just climbing?
Cosmic Homework: Write down what you want to be known for in five years, then check if your current work is actually moving you toward that.
♒ Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
belief, risk, expansion
The Sun and Mercury in Scorpio are in your solar ninth house of belief, travel, and expansion. You're being asked to look hard at what you actually believe versus what you've inherited or been told to believe. Pluto is in your sign now, and it's asking for authenticity at any cost. The waning Moon is moving through your solar eighth house—this is the realm of shared resources, other people's money and values, intimacy and depth. What do you need to release in order to move toward what you truly want? What beliefs are no longer serving you?
Cosmic Homework: Identify one belief you've held about what's possible that you're ready to question or release.
♓ Pisces
February 19 – March 20
merging, separating, clarity
The Sun and Mercury in Scorpio are in your solar eighth house of merging, shared resources, and the things that run deeper than surface talk. This is the realm of intimacy, debt, inheritance, and what you carry from others. The waning Moon in Libra is in your solar seventh house of partnership—you're seeing your relationships more clearly now, and some of what you see might require hard choices. Venus in Libra is still asking you to weigh and balance. This is the moment before the New Moon resets everything. What needs to be untangled or made clear before you move forward with anyone?
Cosmic Homework: Have one honest conversation with a partner or close friend about what you actually need from them.
