What it means
The Scorpio new moon arrives on Friday, October 29, 2027, at 9:37 AM EDT, with the Sun and Moon together at 5°54′ Scorpio and a tight square from Pluto. It is a quiet, intense start for projects that need nerve, patience and discretion.
Scorpio is a fixed water sign, and in astrology a new moon here favors beginnings that call for determination and discretion, such as research, investigation or any work that needs sharp judgment. At 5°54′ the lunation sits early in the sign. The Sun entered Scorpio on October 23, 2027, so this new moon opens the season rather than closing it, and an intention set now has room to build. At 377,021 km the Moon is not at a supermoon distance, so this is a low-key start, not a showy one.
The Moon makes a square to Pluto with an orb of just 1.1°. Pluto is the modern ruler of Scorpio, and it stands for power, depth, and endings that lead to renewal. A square adds friction that pushes for action, so a hidden matter or a habit you have outgrown may press for attention. A good time to ask what you are ready to end before you decide what to begin.
Three slow planets are retrograde, and each one colors how firmly you commit. Saturn in Aries turns direct on December 23, 2027, which suits a second look at duties and limits. Neptune in Aries turns direct on December 15, 2027, so a vision may need checking against what is real. Uranus in Gemini stays retrograde until February 12, 2028, a reminder that sudden changes of plan are better reviewed than forced. A Scorpio start grounded in research fits that mood.
Venus is still in Scorpio at 26°35′ and moves into Sagittarius on November 1, 2027. Until then, affection and shared comfort are tied to loyalty and depth, and after that date they turn more open and restless. The cycle sits between the Libra new moon of September 29, 2027 and the Sagittarius new moon of November 27, 2027.

By rising sign
- ♈︎
Aries rising
House VIII · intimacy & shared money
This new moon falls in your 8th house of intimacy, shared money and fear and loss. It is a good time to look honestly at debts, trust or something you have been reluctant to discuss. Start quietly and keep the first step small.
- ♉︎
Taurus rising
House VII · partners
Your 7th house of partners and one-to-one dealings holds the Sun and Moon. A relationship or contract may call for a more direct conversation than usual. The Pluto square suggests that what has gone unsaid between you and another person wants air.
- ♊︎
Gemini rising
House VI · work & health
Daily work and routines in your 6th house are where this moon lands. You may notice a wish to investigate how your days are organized and to keep only what serves you. Pets and colleagues may also draw your attention.
- ♋︎
Cancer rising
House V · romance & creativity
In your 5th house of romance, play and creative work, this moon favors depth over lightness. A creative project or a love interest could ask for more commitment from you. Keep the first draft private for now.
- ♌︎
Leo rising
House IV · home & family
Home, family and roots in your 4th house take the focus. Something in your living situation or family history may be ready to be quietly examined or closed. It is a fitting time to set an intention about where you feel anchored.
- ♍︎
Virgo rising
House III · talk & siblings
Your 3rd house of conversations and learning, along with short trips, is lit up. Words carry more weight than usual, so a letter or a talk might need careful wording. Research or study started now suits the sign's focused streak.
- ♎︎
Libra rising
House II · money & values
The new moon sits in your 2nd house of income and possessions, and of self-worth too. You may find yourself asking what you truly value, apart from what you own. A modest, steady intention about your resources has more staying power than a bold one.
- ♏︎
Scorpio rising
House I · self & body
With the lunation in your 1st house, the new moon touches your body and temperament, and the way you start things. This is your own sign, so the beginning is personal. You may feel a pull to reset how others see you, though the square from Pluto suggests doing it slowly.
- ♐︎
Sagittarius rising
House XII · rest & the hidden
Your 12th house of solitude and rest holds this moon, along with hidden matters. A retreat from noise might be more useful than any outward push. Private sorrows or unspoken habits may surface gently if you give them time.
- ♑︎
Capricorn rising
House XI · friends & hopes
Your 11th house of friends and groups is where this moon falls, and hopes live there too. It is a good time to consider which circles deserve your loyalty. A wish set now may favor a few trusted allies over a wide network.
- ♒︎
Aquarius rising
House X · career & reputation
Your 10th house of career and public standing receives the new moon. Work that needs discretion, research or sound judgment may get your attention. The Pluto square falls close to your sign's degree range, so questions of authority may feel pointed.
- ♓︎
Pisces rising
House IX · travel & beliefs
In your 9th house of long journeys and beliefs, this moon points toward study and conviction. You may feel drawn to question a belief rather than adopt a new one. Publishing or advanced learning could be planted as a quiet seed.

It is exact at Oct 29, 9:37 AM EDT (Oct 29, 6:37 AM PDT).
✦Is the new moon in Scorpio a supermoon?
No. The Moon is 377,021 km from Earth, too far for a supermoon.
✦Which house does it fall in for my rising sign?
Count from your rising sign: Scorpio is your 1st house if you are Scorpio rising, your 7th if you are Taurus rising. The full list is above.
✦What is a Scorpio new moon good for?
In astrology, a new moon in Scorpio favors projects that need determination and discretion, such as investigation, research or work requiring sharp judgment. Its fixed nature also supports commitments you intend to see through. It is a time for intentions rather than announcements.
✦Why are both the Sun and Moon in Scorpio at this new moon?
At every new moon the Sun and Moon share a sign and degree, and here that point is 5°54′ Scorpio. The Sun entered Scorpio on October 23, 2027, so this is the lunation that opens the season. That puts the sign's themes of depth and privacy at the center.
✦What does the Moon square Pluto mean for this new moon?
Pluto stands for power and depth, and for endings that make way for renewal. A square with a 1.1° orb is a close one, and astrology reads it as friction that pushes for action. You may feel pressed to deal with something hidden before you start fresh.
