A new moon forms in Scorpio on Oct. 11, 2026, landing in Virgo’s third house of communication, siblings and short trips. The moon begins the day in Libra before shifting into Scorpio at 11:21 a.m. ET, joining Mercury and a retrograde Venus already camped in that same house. For Virgo, this is a day built around words, conversations and the people closest to home.
The new moon phase arrives with the moon just 1% illuminated, a traditional marker for fresh starts. With Mercury and Venus retrograde also parked in Scorpio, Virgo’s attention naturally turns toward how it talks, listens and connects with siblings, neighbors or regular contacts. The Sun remains in Libra, highlighting Virgo’s second house of money, possessions and self-worth, so financial matters are not fully off the table even as conversation takes center stage.
Love And Relationships
With Venus retrograde in Scorpio sitting in the third house, old conversations with a sibling, neighbor or close friend may resurface for Virgo. This is not the day for grand romantic gestures. It favors honest, smaller exchanges, texts, calls or quick check-ins that clear the air rather than dramatic declarations. Venus square Mars adds some friction, since Mars sits in Leo in Virgo’s twelfth house of rest and hidden matters, meaning unspoken tension could surface in a passing comment before it gets resolved through direct talk.
Career And Money
Jupiter and Mars both sit in Leo, Virgo’s twelfth house tied to rest, reflection and endings, which suggests career ambitions take a quieter, behind-the-scenes shape today rather than a public push. Meanwhile Uranus, retrograde in Gemini, continues to sit in Virgo’s tenth house of career and reputation, a placement that can bring unpredictable shifts to professional standing over time. The Sun’s position in Libra, ruling the second house, keeps money and self-worth questions active, so a budget review or a conversation about value, whether in pay or possessions, fits well alongside the day’s communication theme.
Health And Wellbeing
Pluto, retrograde in Aquarius, continues to occupy Virgo’s sixth house of daily work and health routines, a placement that favors slow, intentional change over quick fixes. With Mars and Jupiter both tucked into the twelfth house of rest, the sky supports stepping back rather than pushing hard physically today. A short walk, quiet journaling or simply unplugging from noise can serve Virgo better than a demanding workout. This is general guidance, not medical advice, so talk to a doctor or other health professional before starting any new fitness or wellness routine.
