November new moonThe beginning of November is looking extra dark.
In addition to daylight savings time ending on Nov. 3 — causing shorter days and longer nights — the month's new moon rises a few days prior, a blacked-out version of its full moon counterpart.
The new moon peaks on Nov. 1 at 5:47 a.m. PT this year, creating a display that blends in with the night sky as opposed to the shimmering sight that glows when it reaches its fullest face. New moons appear once in a lunar cycle, which is 29.5 days.
Despite the visuals lacking a radiant appearance astronomically, the new moon dazzles astrologically as its energy sizzles in the cosmos. According to PEOPLE's resident astrologer Kyle Thomas, the lunation "opens a cosmic door that had been previously closed."
He explains, "A new moon not only brings something fresh and new to your life but gives you the chance to use its energy consciously as you seek to build new patterns and plans that will echo out for six months to a year."

November's new moon will rise in Scorpio (9 degrees), causing the energy of this elemental Water sign to be "quite prominent" in our lives around this time. Scorpio is the eighth zodiac sign on the wheel and aligns with intimacy, sexuality, assets and investments.
Thomas says new moons in Scorpio "turn our focus to how we share resources in our lives and within other people," noting that it's important to "strike a balance between what we give and receive." He considers the aforementioned themes "hot topics" now and in the weeks to come.
When it comes to planetary aspects, Thomas says there will be "many energies to navigate" around November's new moon. "Primal energies will be cycling through us and the human collective worldwide," he says, adding, "We could experience tremendous success and growth."
