Weekly horoscope for 9–15 November 2026: the New Moon in Scorpio and the end of Mercury and Venus retrograde signal a shift in energy.
The second week of November brings several astrological movements that could significantly change the atmosphere of recent weeks. Monday begins with a New Moon in Scorpio, encouraging us to look inwards and ask ourselves what we truly want before embarking on something new. Emotions may feel deeper than usual, but that is precisely where their value lies: any intentions set now will be more meaningful if they come from honesty rather than what we believe we should want.
By midweek, a conjunction involving Mars, Jupiter and the South Node in Leo begins to make its presence felt. Jupiter aligns directly with the South Node in the early hours of Wednesday, followed by Mars two days later. This combination may make it particularly clear which habits, behaviours or comfort zones are holding back our growth. Our immediate instinct might be to defend what feels familiar, but this week encourages the opposite: recognising what needs to change in order to move towards something different.
The major turning point arrives on Friday 13 November, when both Venus and Mercury end their retrograde periods, just a few hours apart. Venus has spent almost six weeks prompting a reassessment of relationships, values and desires, while Mercury has tested conversations, decisions and timing during the latter part of that period. From this point onwards, certain situations may begin to feel clearer, making it easier to understand what we think, how we feel and where we want to go next.
♈ Aries
Recent weeks have forced you to pay much closer attention to your relationships, boundaries and the way you respond to other people’s needs. Now, some of those issues are finally beginning to become clearer. You can approach your relationships with greater awareness, but it will be important not to slip automatically back into old habits once the tension disappears. If you have learnt to protect your own needs more effectively, continue doing so even when everything seems to be running smoothly again.
Lunar advice: Don’t abandon a boundary simply because the situation has improved.
Mantra: “I can nurture my relationships without neglecting myself.”
♉ Taurus
It is practically impossible to enter a relationship without any emotional baggage, but this week you may gain a much clearer understanding of where certain behaviours come from. Notice which insecurities, habits or automatic reactions emerge when something makes you uncomfortable. Your past influences how you respond today, but that does not mean it has to keep determining your future. Venus, your ruling planet, ends its retrograde on Friday, potentially helping you recognise which patterns you want to maintain and which you need to leave behind.
Lunar advice: When a reaction feels disproportionately intense, ask yourself which past experience might be triggering it.
Mantra: “My past can explain me without having to define me.”
♊ Gemini
Your routine has been undergoing adjustments for weeks, and now you may finally begin to find a rhythm that genuinely works for you. You do not need to copy other people’s methods or turn their advice into universal rules. What keeps someone else motivated might not work for you at all. With Mercury, your ruling planet, resuming direct motion on Friday, it should become easier to recognise which habits help you move forwards and which have simply been taking up space.
Lunar advice: Experiment with your own methods before assuming someone else’s approach is necessarily better.
Mantra: “I find my rhythm by experimenting with what genuinely works for me.”
♋ Cancer
What truly makes you happy? Before automatically answering with the things you have always considered important, take a moment to consider whether those answers still reflect who you are today. Your values evolve as you do, and this week may reveal that some desires no longer look quite the same. The New Moon in Scorpio particularly favours creativity, pleasure and anything that sparks enthusiasm. Rather than chasing a specific experience, begin by identifying the feeling you genuinely want to find.
Lunar advice: Pay attention to whatever excites you spontaneously, even if it was not part of your plans.
Mantra: “I allow myself to discover new ways of feeling happy.”
♌ Leo
The conjunction of Mars, Jupiter and the South Node takes place in your sign, making this an especially significant week for examining what you are ready to leave behind. If you want to move to the next level, you must first consider which foundations are still influencing your current decisions. Family experiences, old emotional needs or childhood issues may be resurfacing in ways you had not previously recognised. This is not about erasing the past, but about preventing it from automatically directing your present.
Lunar advice: Notice whether a current reaction resembles a coping strategy you learnt a long time ago.
Mantra: “I can honour my history without repeating it indefinitely.”
♍ Virgo
Not every coincidence carries a deeper meaning, but this week it may be worth paying closer attention to conversations, thoughts or connections that seem to arise by chance. Mercury, your ruling planet, ends its retrograde on Friday, and certain recent events may finally begin to make sense. Perhaps a passing comment, a memory or something someone mentions casually will connect several pieces that previously seemed unrelated.
Lunar advice: Write down anything that catches your attention more than once before dismissing it as a coincidence.
Mantra: “I also listen to what is said between the lines.”
♎ Libra
What matters to you today may be quite different from what you valued just two months ago. Venus, your ruling planet, has spent weeks prompting you to reassess your desires, priorities and relationships, and finally resumes direct motion this Friday. As you discover where you genuinely want to invest your time and energy, you may notice a certain distance developing between yourself and particular friends or social groups. There is no need to make drastic decisions; sometimes a little space is enough to understand which connections still feel meaningful.
Lunar advice: Don’t force closeness while you are still trying to understand how you feel.
Mantra: “My priorities can change, and my relationships can adapt too.”
♏ Scorpio
The New Moon takes place in your sign, offering an opportunity to reconsider your relationship with yourself. Ask whether the image you project truly reflects how you feel when nobody is watching. You can maintain an air of mystery without constantly hiding behind a version of yourself designed to meet other people’s expectations. This week favours a more authentic new beginning, particularly after several weeks of introspection and deep reflection.
Lunar advice: Identify a part of yourself that you usually conceal, even though there is no longer any real reason to do so.
Mantra: “I don’t need to hide who I am to preserve my sense of mystery.”
♐ Sagittarius
A belief that seemed completely true yesterday may no longer fit today, and that does not mean your previous perspective was wrong. It simply means you have gained new information. This week may make you particularly aware of opinions or ideas that have become too rigid. The more room you allow yourself to change your perspective, the greater your freedom to explore new possibilities without feeling that you are betraying an earlier version of yourself.
Lunar advice: Question an opinion you have defended for a long time without reconsidering it.
Mantra: “Changing my mind can also be a form of growth.”
♑ Capricorn
The week opens up new social possibilities, but you may first need to address certain emotional issues that are still making it difficult to connect fully with others. Shared interests or projects can quickly bring you closer to someone, but building a deeper relationship also requires a degree of vulnerability. You do not need to reveal everything immediately; simply allow others to see more than your most efficient or controlled side.
Lunar advice: During an important conversation, share something you would normally keep entirely to yourself.
Mantra: “Trust grows when I allow others to truly know me.”
♒ Aquarius
You may finally be ready to cross a professional threshold that you have been observing from the other side for quite some time. The question is not simply whether you can get there, but whether you will trust yourself once you do. Entering unfamiliar territory does not mean you are unprepared. Many of the tools you need have already been developed in other areas of your life. Draw on personal experiences, previous decisions and abilities you may never have considered professional skills to find your own way forwards.
Lunar advice: Recall a difficult personal situation you have already overcome and the skill you developed as a result.
Mantra: “I don’t need to have experienced this exact situation before to be ready.”
♓ Pisces
You have the ability to pursue ambitious projects, but turning them into reality will require more than inspiration. This week may reveal which parts of your routine need reorganising so that your goals can move beyond the realm of possibility. Discipline, intention and consistency do not have to conflict with your intuition; they may be precisely the tools that allow you to bring your ideas to life.
Lunar advice: Turn one of your biggest goals into a small action you can repeat every day.
Mantra: “My dreams grow when I make room for them in my daily routine.”
Cosmic Key to the Week
This week has a particularly clear turning point: Friday 13 November. Until then, the New Moon and the conjunction of Mars, Jupiter and the South Node may bring attention to matters requiring a decision, especially those involving habits, relationships or comfort zones that have already served their purpose.
Then comes the shift. Mercury and Venus end their retrograde periods almost simultaneously, bringing two distinct but closely connected processes to a close: reassessing what we think and reconsidering what we want. Certain conversations may begin to fall into place just as particular relationships find a new balance.
That does not mean everything will immediately return to normal. Perhaps that is precisely the point: after several weeks of reassessing everything, returning to exactly where you started would no longer make much sense.
