Off the Record. Then a Hard U-Turn.
Nov 9th - 15th Astrology Forecast
This week starts off the record and ends with a hard U-turn on Friday the 13th. 🙈
We open with a secret intention (Scorpio New Moon), the kind you hold close until you know it's real. But all week, egos, yours and everyone else's, will rally for your attention. Taking the higher road and looking for creative ways to move stuck energy will get you further than shouting louder. 👀 Then on Friday the 13th, after weeks of second-guessing, you finally get to stop rereading the same chapter... even if the world around you is still making a racket.
That doesn't mean everything snaps into place by Saturday. It means you're seeing a page turn, and with this perspective, you're ready to take action and integrate.
Let's dive in...
(All times are Central.)
Though two personal planets move forward by the end of the week, another one has just stepped into a shadow. Mars crossed 20°55' Leo on November 5th, starting a story we'll be working with in your Leo house (and the very start of your Virgo house) well into 2027. He turns retrograde on January 10th and will spend months revisiting this stretch of sky. Keep that in mind as you push for what you want right now, and choose your battles on purpose.
Let's break it down.
As we step into the first day of the week, we wake up to fresh New Moon energy, and in Scorpio, that energy has its eyes wide open. The New Moon arrives at 1:02 AM Monday at 16°53' Scorpio, with the Sun, the Moon, and retrograde Mercury all gathered in the sign. This seed goes deep: trust, shared money, what you're done tolerating, and the power you want back. So don't be surprised if you're thinking about what's underneath it all, and what you need to do about it.
The Sabian symbol of this New Moon tells the story beautifully.
We move from "A Girl's Face Breaking Into a Smile" toward "A Woman, Filled With Her Own Spirit, Is the Father of Her Own Child." It starts with a flicker of joy you didn't see coming and ends with a woman who doesn't need anyone's permission to build her life. So plant the wish that's yours, not the one that would make sense to your mother-in-law. 😉
Here's what's lurking in the air. The Sun is building toward a square with Jupiter and Mars in Leo, and it doesn't peak until next week, so we feel it the whole time it builds. A square is friction, and these two make everything bigger: pride, opinions, big talk, and a lot of noise.
The New Moon gives us a sneak peek on Monday, when the Moon squares Mars and Jupiter on its first day out. Expect somebody to puff up their chest, and expect plenty of shouting and scary headlines in your feed.
This isn't the week to argue with strangers in the comments. Let the loud ones be loud, and put your fire into something you're proud of.
At their best, Mars and Jupiter are courage and generosity, so stand up for someone, take the brave step for yourself, or give big where it counts. And with Mars in his shadow, words said in a heated moment have a way of coming back around in January.
Mind your tongue a little.
Then, just after midnight Tuesday, Venus sextiles Mars, a friendly little opening between the heart and the will. If you've been at odds with someone, this is your chance to make the first kind gesture.
After that, the sky gets quiet for a few days. Catch up, clear the inbox, and think about what you want to say, because you'll soon have a lot more room to say it.
And then we hit the turnaround.
On Friday the 13th, Mercury stations direct at 9:52 AM at 5°02' Scorpio, and Venus follows at 6:21 PM at 22°51' Libra. For weeks, Mercury has been dragging up the old conversations, and Venus has been weighing what's fair in love and money.
Now the head and the heart both make that U-turn on the same day. A station is when a planet seems to stand still before changing direction, so the morning may bring real clarity... or one last mix-up. (Double-check the email anyway.)
Both planets still have to retrace their steps, Mercury until November 30th and Venus until December 15th, so things are moving, but they're still settling. If you can wait to sign, wait. If you can't, read it twice.
And as the week closes, at 12:22 AM on Monday the 16th, Mars meets Jupiter at 25° Leo, right in the middle of all that noise. It's a big burst of courage and fire, and we'll unpack it fully next week.
For now, make sure the wish you planted Monday is the one you want to light up.

Weekly Horoscopes: November 9th – 15th, 2026
Read for your Sun sign and your Rising sign
ARIES
Top 3 focuses: Shared money and trust · A partnership finding its footing · Your fire, and its timing
Monday's New Moon lands in your 8th house of shared money, debt, trust, and intimacy, so set your intention around what you're willing to share... and what you're not. With Mercury still retrograde there until Friday, an old money talk or trust issue may circle back one more time. Say what you need plainly, and let that be enough.
Your ruler, Mars, is in your 5th house of romance, creativity, and fun, and the pride building there all week can turn a small comment into a big deal, especially with a lover or over a creative project. He's in his shadow, too, so what you start now is likely to come back around in January. Start it anyway, just with a plan.
On Friday, Mercury turns direct in your 8th and Venus turns direct in your 7th, so the money question and the partnership question both start moving again. They're still retracing their steps, Mercury until November 30th and Venus until mid-December, so agree in principle now and save the signature for later.
TAURUS
Top 3 focuses: The person across from you · Work and your daily routine · Calm at the dinner table
Venus, your ruler, turns direct Friday evening, and you'll likely feel it more than most. She's been retrograde in your 6th house of work, health, and daily routine, asking whether the way you spend your days is wearing you down. Now a habit you've been reworking can finally start to stick. Keep it simple while she's in her shadow through December 15th.
Monday's New Moon lands in your 7th house of partnership, so set an intention about the one-on-one relationships you want, in love, at work, or with a close friend. Mercury turns direct in that same house Friday morning, and a conversation that's been going in circles can finally get somewhere.
The pride and big talk this week are building in your 4th house of home and family, so if someone at the dinner table gets loud, you don't have to match their volume. You're the one fixed sign sitting this standoff out, and your calm can settle the whole room.
GEMINI
Top 3 focuses: Fixing the daily grind · Romance and creative play · Saying it once, kindly
Your ruler, Mercury, has been retrograde in your 6th house since late October, and work, health routines, or the to-do list may have felt like a game of whack-a-mole. Monday's New Moon lands in that same house, then Mercury turns direct Friday morning, so you get a clean starting point and the go-ahead to use it. Pick one habit that would help, and start it small.
Venus has been retrograde in your 5th house, bringing old flames, old creative projects, and old ways of having fun back into view. Early Tuesday, she sextiles Mars in your 3rd house, so a flirty text, a pitch, or a creative idea comes out easier than usual. Send it.
With the pride and big talk building in your 3rd house of everyday conversation, though, this isn't the week to win the group chat. Say it once, kindly, and let it land.
CANCER
Top 3 focuses: Making something just for you · Home and family moving again · Money with a plan
Monday's New Moon lands in your 5th house of romance, creativity, children, and joy, so set an intention around something you want to make, love, or play with, without needing it to be productive. The Sabian image of a girl's face breaking into a smile fits you this week. Follow what makes you light up.
Venus has spent the last few weeks retrograde in your 4th house of home and family. Old family dynamics, a home project, or questions about where you belong may have taken up a lot of room. When she turns direct Friday evening, things at home start moving again.
The big talk this week is building in your 2nd house of money, so watch for the urge to spend big to feel better, or to prove something. Make the budget first. Mercury turns direct in your 5th Friday morning, and a stalled creative project or a romantic conversation can pick back up.
LEO
Top 3 focuses: Home as a fresh start · Words that land kindly · Your own fire, and its timing
Monday's New Moon settles at the base of your chart, in your 4th house of home, family, and emotional roots. Set an intention about where you feel safe and who you want around your kitchen table. With Mercury retrograde there until Friday, an old family conversation may still be in progress. Listen more than you explain.
Mars and Jupiter are both in your sign, so all that pride and big talk is happening in your own house. You may feel bigger, bolder, and a little less patient than usual, and the people around you will notice. Use it for something you're proud of. Mars is in his shadow in your sign, too, so whatever you start now, you'll be revisiting in the new year, and in the first minutes of Monday the 16th, Mars meets Jupiter right on top of you.
On Friday, both planets turn direct: Mercury in your 4th, Venus in your 3rd. Home plans and important conversations can start moving forward, though both stay in their shadows for a few more weeks.
VIRGO
Top 3 focuses: Conversations that clear the air · Money and what you're worth · Work behind the scenes
Your ruler, Mercury, has been retrograde in your 3rd house of communication since late October, so texts, emails, and everyday conversations may have been messier than usual. Monday's New Moon lands in that same house. Set an intention about how you want to speak, and what you're done explaining. When Mercury turns direct Friday morning, messages start landing the way you meant them.
Venus has been retrograde in your 2nd house of income, possessions, and self-worth. If you've been rethinking your prices, your spending, or what you'll do for how much, you're not alone. Venus turns direct Friday evening, and money matters start moving forward, but she's in her shadow until December 15th, so research the big purchase now and buy it later.
All the noise this week is building in your 12th house, behind the scenes, so you may feel other people's drama more than you see it. Protect your sleep, and keep the plan you're working on to yourself a little longer.
LIBRA
Top 3 focuses: Venus turning toward you · Money with a clear intention · Friends who show up
This one's yours. Venus, your ruler, has been retrograde in your sign since late October, and in your 2nd house before that. That's a long stretch of reviewing your relationships, your look, and how much you give compared to how much you get. When she turns direct in your 1st house Friday evening, you may start feeling more like yourself again. Not all at once, but steadily.
Monday's New Moon falls in your 2nd house of money and self-worth, so set an intention about what you earn, what you spend, and what you're worth. Mercury turns direct in that same house Friday morning, and stalled money talks can pick back up.
The big talk this week is building in your 11th house of friends and groups. Early Tuesday, Venus sextiles Mars there, a good moment to reach out to a friend or say yes to an invitation... just skip the group drama. With Venus in her shadow until December 15th, give a big change to your look or a major relationship decision a few more weeks.
SCORPIO
Top 3 focuses: Your fresh start · Letting an old feeling rest · Career with your name on it
Happy New Moon. It falls in your sign on Monday, in your 1st house, which makes this your personal reset. Set an intention that's about you, not anyone else's expectations. The Sabian symbol of a woman who is the father of her own child is yours to take to heart: you can create this on your own terms.
All the pride and big talk this week is building in your 10th house of career and reputation, with Mars and Jupiter at the top of your chart.

Mercury has been retrograde in your sign since late October, and when he turns direct Friday morning, your thinking clears.
Venus has been retrograde in your 12th house, the most private corner of your chart, stirring up old feelings and things you've kept to yourself. She turns direct Friday evening, and something you've been carrying alone can start to lighten.
SAGITTARIUS
Top 3 focuses: Rest and release · Friends and the future · Big plans getting fuel
It's not a flashy New Moon for you. Monday's lunation falls in your 12th house of rest, endings, and what happens behind the scenes, so set an intention about what you're ready to release, and get more sleep than you think you need.
The Moon enters your sign early Tuesday, and you'll likely feel lighter by breakfast. Meanwhile, all that pride and big talk is building in your 9th house of travel, beliefs, and big ideas, so you may wake up one morning with a plan to change everything. Write it down before you commit to it, especially with Mars in his shadow there.
Venus has been retrograde in your 11th house of friends and groups, and Mercury in your 12th. When both turn direct Friday, a friendship question and a private worry can start moving forward.
CAPRICORN
Top 3 focuses: The friends worth keeping · Career turning a corner · Shared money on your terms
Monday's New Moon lands in your 11th house of friends, groups, and future goals, so set an intention about the circle you want around you. With Mercury retrograde there until Friday, an old friend or an unfinished group project may still be on your mind.
Venus has been retrograde at the top of your chart, in your 10th house of career and reputation, and a work relationship, a job you used to want, or how you're seen in public may have been under review. When she turns direct Friday evening, career matters start moving forward. She's in her shadow until December 15th, so take the first step now and save the big leap for later.
The big talk this week is building in your 8th house of shared money and other people's resources. If someone is pushing you on a loan, a debt, or a joint decision, you don't have to answer on their timeline. The Moon enters your sign Thursday afternoon, and Saturday's long Void Moon falls there too, so rest counts.
AQUARIUS
Top 3 focuses: Career with a clean slate · Beliefs and learning, revisited · A partner with some fire
Work takes the spotlight early this week. The New Moon lands Monday at the top of your chart, in your 10th house of career and reputation, so set an intention about the work you want to be known for. Mercury has been retrograde there, too, and a job conversation may have looped or stalled. He turns direct Friday morning, and things at work can start moving again.
All that pride and big talk is building in your 7th house of partnership, right across from the North Node in your sign. A partner may want more from you, or want it louder. Hear them out, then keep your eyes on the future you're building.
Venus turns direct Friday evening in your 9th house, so a trip, a class, or an old belief starts moving forward again. On Sunday, the Moon enters your sign and meets Pluto, and you may feel a powerful nudge to stop pretending about something. Take a breath before you post about it.
PISCES
Top 3 focuses: Expanding your horizons · Shared money moving again · Work that helps, not hurts
Your world wants to get bigger. Monday's New Moon falls in your 9th house of learning, travel, and big-picture beliefs, so set an intention about where you want to grow: a class, a trip, or a new way of seeing your life. Mercury has been retrograde there, too, and when he turns direct Friday morning, travel plans and important paperwork can start moving forward.
Venus has been retrograde in your 8th house of shared money, debts, and intimacy. Maybe a loan, a joint account, or the give-and-take in a close relationship needed another look. She turns direct Friday evening. Both planets stay in their shadows for a few weeks, Venus until December 15th, so take your time with big financial decisions.
The big talk this week is building in your 6th house of work and daily routine, so a coworker may get loud, or you may be tempted to take on more than you can carry. Do your part, and let the rest be someone else's job. Sunday's Aquarius Moon in your 12th says rest.
