A new Moon in your own sign asks what you want to begin
With the Moon new in Scorpio and in your first house, today tends to feel like a quiet personal fresh start rather than a public one.
The new Moon sits in Scorpio, in your first house of self and first impressions, so the mood of the day may turn inward and personal. It is a good day to ask yourself, honestly and without hurry, what you would like to start afresh. That might be a habit, a way of speaking up for yourself, or simply how you greet people at the door. Mercury is in Scorpio too, which tends to sharpen your words and make you want to say exactly what you mean. Venus is also here but retrograde, so feelings about how you come across, or about what you find attractive, may be worth revisiting rather than acting on in a rush.
Your ruler Mars is in Leo in your tenth house of career and reputation, alongside Jupiter. Your drive tends to point towards work and the way others see your efforts, and there may be a pull to take the lead in a meeting or put your name to something. With the Sun in Libra in your twelfth house of rest and reflection, though, it helps to balance that push with some time alone to think before you speak.
In the background, Saturn and Neptune are both retrograde in Aries in your sixth house of work routines and daily habits, which may invite you to tidy up how your days run rather than add more to them. Pluto, your modern co-ruler, is retrograde in Aquarius in your fourth house of home and family, so a calm evening at home may help you settle whatever the day stirs up.
Honest, gentle words
With Mercury in your sign, you may feel ready to say something plainly. With Venus retrograde beside it, a kind tone tends to matter as much as the truth, especially with someone close.
Leading with care
Mars and Jupiter in your tenth house may give you the confidence to step forward at work or in study. Choose one task to champion, and let your steady effort speak.
A quiet reset
The Sun in your twelfth house favours rest and reflection. A walk on your own, an early night or a few minutes writing down a fresh intention may suit the new Moon well.
Plant one small, private intention today and let it grow in its own time.

A quiet Monday for Scorpio: rest, release and trust
With the Moon resting in your twelfth house all day, this is a Monday for stepping back, tidying loose ends and letting the deeper good fortune of the season work quietly in the background.
The Moon spends the whole of today in Libra, the twelfth house from your Vrishchika rāśi, the house of rest, retreat and release. Chandra bala is weak, and the classical result speaks of outgoings, a time to spend with care. Read it widely: your time, attention and goodwill may flow out more easily than usual, so it helps to choose where they go. It is Monday, ruled by the Moon itself, and the young Śukla Dvitīyā tithi adds a soft, beginning-again flavour, better suited to small, gentle starts than to grand gestures.
Mercury sits alongside the Moon in the twelfth, and the texts advise keeping a low profile, so a message drafted today may read better after a pause. Venus is also there, retrograde, and still favourable, promising gains and comforts. Think of a warm meal, a familiar chair, an early night. Mars in your ninth asks you to rest and not overreach, and Saturn, retrograde in your fifth, can make the mind feel burdened. The counsel there is simply to avoid haste.
The longer background is kinder than the day's surface. Jupiter in your ninth house of fortune, teachers and dharma promises all-round good fortune, and the Sun in your eleventh brings a sense of well-being and rising honour among friends and hopes. Rahu in your fourth may make the heart feel a little heavier at home, yet Ketu in your tenth sits favourably over your work. Today, let the quiet do its work.
Gentle company, fewer words
With Venus favourable, simple comforts shared with someone close tend to say more than long talks. If home feels heavy, a calm evening together may ease it.
Finish, don't launch
Mercury suggests keeping a low profile, so it is a good day to tidy files, revisit notes or study quietly. Your standing at work has steady support from Ketu, so there is no need to push.
Permission to withdraw
Mars asks you not to overreach. An unhurried walk, a quiet hour with a book or an early night suits this twelfth-house Moon well.
Give your care where it truly matters today, and let the rest wait for a brighter Moon.
