Volgograd explained why the new moon on November 9 is considered special

Scorpio dictates the rules: what to expect from this day

Scorpio in astrology is a sign with a difficult reputation. He is credited with passion, insight, jealousy and a love of extremes. If you want to change your life, it's drastic. If you figure out the relationship, you get to the bottom. The new moon symbolizes the beginning of a new cycle, so the combination with the energetic Scorpio astrologers consider especially suitable for change.

During this period, you are advised to listen to yourself and honestly answer a few questions. Is everything okay in a relationship? Isn’t it time to give up a habit that has been getting in the way for a long time? Do you really want what you want so hard? Of course, the moon itself will not force anyone to quit or start a new life. But sometimes it's helpful to set aside a day to put your thoughts together.

Five Things to Do on November 9

You don’t have to light candles and wait for the signs of the universe. Most of the recommendations for a new moon in Scorpio are quite applicable without mysticism:

The last piece of advice is particularly good. In psychology, there is a so-called new start effect. It is easier for people to decide on changes when a symbolic starting point appears ahead: Monday, the first day of the month or a birthday. The New Moon may well be such a date. The main thing is that beautiful intentions are followed by real actions.

What is better not to do: advice astrologers

Scorpio is credited not only with determination, but also temper. Therefore, astrologers advise to be more careful with emotions. It is especially not recommended to clarify relationships in high tones, make decisions out of jealousy or act out of spite. Sounds reasonable, although it is not necessary to wait for the new moon.

But bans on large purchases, change of work and important meetings can be safely perceived as part of astrological traditions. Science does not confirm that on November 9, spending fails and negotiations fail. If you've weighed everything and thought it through, there's no point in delaying a decision just because of the moon phase.

Where will the moon go and when will it return

The new moon has a curious feature: unlike a spectacular full moon, it is almost impossible to notice it. November 9 at 10.02 Moscow time the Moon will be between the Earth and the Sun. Its illuminated side will be facing mainly from us, so the usual lunar disk will disappear from view. This does not mean that the moon will stop reflecting sunlight. We will hardly see the lighted part of its surface.

A few days after the new moon, a thin sickle will appear in the evening sky. It will gradually increase until about two weeks later there is a full moon.

Magic or Science: Does the Moon Influence Mood

The moon is really affecting the planet. Due to its gravitational attraction, sea tides occur. And during the new moon and full moon, tidal forces reinforce each other. Scientists have repeatedly tried to find out whether the phases of the moon are associated with sleep, mood and behavior. Some studies have found small changes in sleep during certain periods of the lunar cycle.

There is another aspect of perception. If you read in advance that the new moon will bring conflicts, any random quarrel can seem like confirmation of the forecast. And if the day goes smoothly, we will most likely just forget about the promised troubles. Psychologists call this a tendency to confirm their expectations.

So it is not necessary to expect from November 9 mandatory shocks. But if you want to use the new moon as an excuse to change something, why not? To begin with, you can choose one long overdue task and finally tackle it. Scorpio has nothing to do with it, but the result can be truly cosmic.
