November 2026 Astrology Calendar: Every Date That Matters, Ranked

November 2026 is the month the sky moves forward again. Mercury turns direct on November 13 at 10:52 am Eastern and Venus follows at 7:20 pm the same day, ending six weeks of double retrograde. Before that, a Scorpio New Moon on the 9th sets the intention. After it, Mars meets Jupiter in Leo, the Sun enters Sagittarius on the 22nd and the Beaver Moon rises on Uranus on the 24th, two days before US Thanksgiving. Every date below is computed from the ephemeris and given in Universal Time with Eastern, Pacific and UK conversions. North America returns to standard time on November 1.

Every astrological event in November 2026

Venus stays in its post-retrograde shadow until December 15, when it returns to 8 degrees 29 minutes of Scorpio. Love and money decisions made in November are sound, but the biggest ones sit better after that date.

Week by week

November 1 to 8: the underworld week. Both retrogrades are at full depth and Mercury meets the Sun on the 4th at 12 degrees of Scorpio, the midpoint of its cycle. Clarity about an old conversation arrives before the words for it. On the 7th the Sun reaches 15 degrees of Scorpio, the astronomical midpoint between equinox and solstice that Samhain and Halloween descend from. The year turns toward winter here, not on October 31.

November 9 to 15: the reset and the release. The Scorpio New Moon on the 9th, at 2:02 am Eastern, is the year's deepest new beginning. Set the intention around intimacy, shared resources or the truth you have been circling. Four days later, on the 13th, Mercury turns direct in the morning and Venus in the evening. By that night the autumn's review is over. You know what you value and what you mean.

November 16 to 22: the surge. Mars and Jupiter meet at 25 degrees 53 minutes of Leo on the 16th, the most confident and appetite-driven day of the month. The Sun squares Jupiter on the 18th and Mars around the same time: watch for the big promise, the grand gesture, the purchase that felt brilliant. The Sun enters Sagittarius on the 22nd and the mood lifts for real.

November 23 to 30: the surprise. The Beaver Moon on the 24th sits on Uranus, and the Sun opposes Uranus the next day. News arrives, plans change and someone says the unexpected thing, in Gemini's register of words and information. Mars enters Virgo on the 25th and the Moon enters Cancer on Thanksgiving morning. Let Mars fix the dinner, not the relatives. Mercury clears its shadow on the 30th and December opens on normal footing.

Is Mercury retrograde in November 2026?

Until November 13. Mercury stations direct at 5 degrees 02 minutes of Scorpio at 15:52 UTC on November 13, 2026, which is 10:52 am Eastern and 3:52 pm in the UK. The post-retrograde shadow runs until November 30, when Mercury returns to 20 degrees 59 minutes of Scorpio, the degree it stationed at on October 24.

Is the November 2026 full moon a supermoon?

On most almanac lists, yes. The Beaver Moon on November 24 is 360,754 kilometres from Earth at fullness and reaches perigee about 30 hours later. It qualifies under the common 90 percent of closest approach rule and misses the strict 360,000 kilometre cut by about 750 kilometres. The Cold Moon on December 24, at 356,729 kilometres, is the closest full moon of 2026.

What the November 2026 astrology means for every sign

Read for your Sun sign and your rising sign. The first half of the month lands in the house that holds Scorpio, the second half in the house that holds Sagittarius.

• Aries: shared money and intimacy get their honest reset on the 9th, then the Beaver Moon in your third house brings sudden news from a sibling, a neighbour or a message you did not expect.
• Taurus: partnership is the New Moon's subject and Venus, your ruler, turns direct on the 13th. From then the relationship decision is yours to make. Money surprises around the 24th.
• Gemini: work and health reset on the 9th. The Beaver Moon in your sign on the 24th, on Uranus, is your personal turning point of the month. Say the thing.
• Cancer: romance and creativity turn direct with Venus on the 13th. Thanksgiving with the Moon in your sign is yours to host, emotionally at least.
• Leo: Mars meets Jupiter in your sign on the 16th, the most energised day of your year so far. Aim it. Home and family hold the New Moon.
• Virgo: Mars enters your sign on the 25th and drive turns precise. Communication resets on the 9th and clears with Mercury on the 30th.
• Libra: Venus turns direct in your sign on the 13th, at 22 degrees. The month's second half is the first time since August that love and money are fully your own again.
• Scorpio: the New Moon in your sign on the 9th is the year's real birthday intention. Both retrogrades leave your sign on the 13th, and the Sun leaves on the 22nd. You come out of November knowing exactly what you want.
• Sagittarius: a private start, then your season opens on the 22nd with the Beaver Moon in your partnership house two days later. The surprise is about the other person.
• Capricorn: friendships reset on the 9th and career catches fire mid-month with Mars and Jupiter in your eighth house of shared resources. A joint venture moves.
• Aquarius: career resets on the 9th with Pluto newly direct in your sign. The Beaver Moon in your fifth house of romance and creativity is the month's happy surprise.
• Pisces: a belief or a far plan resets on the 9th, and the Beaver Moon in your fourth house of home brings sudden change to where or how you live.

What to do with November 2026

Set the intention on the 9th and act on it from the 13th. Put the ambitious plan on paper in the Mars and Jupiter week without signing it. Treat the Beaver Moon's surprise as information and decide after the Thanksgiving weekend. Keep the biggest money decision for after December 15, when Venus clears its shadow. Then read what December 2026 holds at the solstice.
