Diwali brings a new moon inviting you to embrace change and set new intentions…

Aside from prosperity and happiness for the coming year, Diwali ushers in a new moon cycle. The new moon on the first of November brings a fresh wave of energy, especially for those feeling a sense of cosmic stagnation. New moons are often seen as times of renewal and invitation to embrace change and set intentions.
This November, the new moon in Scorpio wants you to take charge of your life and create a roadmap for yourself to reach the goals you’ve had on your vision board for a while. This is the time to be proactive and step up.
While it will be impactful for all signs, the new moon will be especially influential for certain zodiac signs, shifting energy in ways that could be transformative. Here’s what these signs can expect from this lunar event…

As Scorpio’s opposing sign, Taurus will feel this new moon in the realm of relationships. There may be unexpected shifts in close connections, making this a perfect time for Taureans to reassess their relationships and determine if they’re truly fulfilling. If there have been underlying tensions, this new moon might bring them to the surface, offering Taurus an opportunity to address and heal them. This is a great time to have open conversations with loved ones and reevaluate what is needed from your relationships.
Leos might feel the new moon’s energy in the home and family sphere. There could be changes on the domestic front, whether it’s moving to a new place, spending more time with family, or reimagining the household dynamic. The new moon will also inspire Leos to create a nurturing space that aligns with their values, making this an ideal time to focus on improving their home environment. Embrace changes that bring peace and harmony into your home life. Consider how you can make your surroundings feel more personal and comforting, and prioritise quality time with your family.

For Scorpio, the new moon marks the beginning of a transformative chapter, as it aligns with the energy of the season. Scorpios might feel a push to release past baggage and explore new aspects of their personality, whether through self-discovery or personal growth. This new moon urges them to let go of past doubts and embrace the unknown with open arms. Scorpios may also experience renewed motivation to pursue their goals, making it an ideal time to set intentions or start fresh projects that align with their passions. Take some quiet time to reflect and envision what you want in the months ahead. Use this new moon energy to set goals and take the first steps toward them.
For Aquarius, the new moon brings a chance to refocus on career ambitions. This lunar phase activates their house of career and public image, making it an ideal time to evaluate where they stand professionally. Aquarians may feel a surge of motivation to make changes that will help them grow in their field or align with their purpose. Take proactive steps to move forward, whether applying for a new position, starting a side project, or networking. Use this time to strategise for the future and take calculated risks.
