Venus stays in its post-retrograde shadow until December 15, when it returns to 8 degrees 29 minutes of Scorpio. Tradition places the biggest love and money decisions 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, which astrologers read as clarity about an old conversation 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 read as the year's deepest new beginning, with intimacy, shared resources and the truth you have been circling as the themes for an intention. Four days later, on the 13th, Mercury turns direct in the morning and Venus in the evening, which astrologers read as the close of the autumn's review.

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

November 23 to 30: the surprise. The Beaver Moon on the 24th sits on Uranus, and the Sun opposes Uranus the next day. Astrologers read it as news, changed plans and the unexpected thing said, in Gemini's register of words and information. Mars enters Virgo on the 25th and the Moon enters Cancer on Thanksgiving morning. Mercury clears its shadow on the 30th.

Is Mercury retrograde in November 2026?

Until November 13. Mercury stations direct at 5 degrees 02 minutes of Scorpio at 15:54 UTC on November 13, 2026, which is 10:54 am Eastern and 3:54 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 360,765 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 765 kilometres. The Cold Moon on December 24, at 356,738 kilometres, is the closest full moon of 2026.
