November 2026 is a month whose sky changes expression between its first and second halves. Early on, Mercury and Venus are still retrograde — a quiet flow for reviewing messages and relationships. The New Moon in Scorpio on the 9th invites honesty with yourself, and when Mercury and Venus both turn direct on the 13th, things that had paused begin to move again. The Sun enters Sagittarius on the 22nd and the air lightens; with the Full Moon in Gemini on the 24th and Mars entering Virgo on the 25th, the flow toward month's end is 'put things in order, and step forward.'
The Sky, in Date Order
- November 9 (Mon), around 2:02 AM — New Moon in Scorpio
A new moon is a time to plant the seeds of wishes and beginnings. Scorpio is the sign of depth and honesty — a time to face the core of things, not the surface. - November 13 (Fri), around 10:53 AM — Mercury turns direct in Scorpio
Once the planet is direct again, the things you have been reviewing start to move forward more easily. Mercury reflects the movement of words, messages and learning. - November 13 (Fri), around 7:27 PM — Venus turns direct in Libra
Once the planet is direct again, the things you have been reviewing start to move forward more easily. Venus reflects the movement of pleasure, beauty and connection. - November 22 (Sun), around 2:23 AM — The Sun moves from Scorpio into Sagittarius
The Sun reflects the overall theme that lights up the period. Sagittarius is the sign of adventure and learning — widening your horizons brings a tailwind. - November 24 (Tue), around 9:53 AM — Full Moon in Gemini
A full moon is a time to receive what has ripened and let go of what you no longer need. Gemini is the sign of words and curiosity — information and conversation hold the key. - November 25 (Wed), around 6:37 PM — Mars moves from Leo into Virgo
Mars reflects where your energy and drive are directed. Virgo is the sign of putting things in order — careful work on the details bears fruit.
November rewards those who checked things calmly in the first half with a tailwind in the second. May your November be a fruitful one.
