November 2026 Astrology Forecast:
Major Transits & Dates
November 2026 is the month two retrogrades end. Venus has been retrograde since 3 October and Mercury since 24 October, and both station direct on the same day.
What follows is a month that changes gear twice. The first half is still review. The second half moves, and the full moon at the end of it arrives on top of Uranus, which is not a quiet way to finish.

What Sets November 2026 Up, from the End of October
November starts in the middle of something. Both of the month’s main characters were already retrograde before it began, and the last week of October is where they arrived at the positions November finds them in.
Mercury stationed retrograde on October 24 at 20 degrees of Scorpio and is still sitting in that sign. Venus had been retrograde since the 3rd, and on the 25th she reversed out of Scorpio entirely and back into Libra. So the two of them open November in different signs doing different work. One is going back over what was said. The other is going back over what was valued, and she is doing it across degrees she first covered in late summer, between early August and the tenth of September.
Each retrograde has a midpoint, the day the planet meets the Sun at the exact center of its cycle, and those fall ten days apart this time. Venus had hers on October 24. Mercury reaches his on November 4, at the heart of the Sun in Scorpio. If the first week of the month brings something into focus that had been circling for weeks without landing, that is usually why.
Then both of them turn around on the same day, which is where the rest of this month goes.
New Moon in Scorpio, November 9
The new moon lands at 16 degrees Scorpio, with Mercury still retrograde four degrees away and Venus still retrograde in Libra.
This is a beginning made entirely out of material you already have. Both review planets are still moving backward. Nothing here is new information, which makes it a good moon for a decision you have been circling since early October and a poor one for committing to something you learned about this week.
Mars is at 22 degrees Leo, squaring the lunation by about four degrees. There is pressure in it, and Scorpio new moons rarely resolve gently.
Mercury and Venus Both Station Direct, November 13
Mercury stations direct at 5 degrees Scorpio in the morning. Venus stations direct at 22 degrees Libra that evening. Nine hours apart, on one day.
Two retrogrades that began three weeks apart in different signs releasing together is uncommon, and it gives this cycle a clean edge. Whatever the last six weeks have been reviewing, this is the day it stops being under review.
It does not mean everything resolves by dinner. Mercury does not clear its shadow until 30 November, so the material settles across the rest of the month. But the direction changes here, and that is worth marking.

🌟 Six weeks of review leaves you with something. Your Personal Pattern reads the whole chart as one system and shows the pattern underneath what kept coming back.
Scorpio Season Ends, November 22
The Sun enters Sagittarius, closing a Scorpio season that contained two retrogrades, a cazimi and a new moon in the same sign.
Sagittarius season is the register change. After six weeks of going underneath things, what you are dealing with gets larger and less personal. For anyone who has spent October and November in the weeds of one situation, this is the point where it becomes possible to ask what it was all for.
More on this: Scorpio.
Full Moon in Gemini, November 24
The full moon is exact at 2 degrees Gemini, and Uranus is sitting at 3 degrees 44 minutes Gemini. That puts the Moon within one degree and twenty minutes of Uranus, and the Full Moon in Gemini on November 24 reads the whole chart for it by rising sign, which makes Uranus part of this lunation instead of background to it.
A full moon conjunct Uranus is the disruptive one. Things that have been held together by effort come apart, plans change at short notice, and information arrives that reorganizes the week. It is the most volatile day of the month and it is worth leaving room around.
Read it alongside what has just finished. Both retrogrades ended eleven days earlier, so this full moon lands on decisions that are barely dry. Some of them get tested immediately.

Mars Enters Virgo, November 25
Mars leaves Leo and enters Virgo, where it spends the rest of the year.
Mars in Leo wants the thing to be impressive. Mars in Virgo wants it to work. The drive narrows from performance to execution, which is useful timing immediately after two retrogrades end, because the month leaves you with a list and then hands you the energy to get through it.
Mercury Clears Its Shadow, November 30
Mercury returns to 20 degrees Scorpio, the degree it stationed retrograde at on 24 October. The cycle that began with the pre-retrograde shadow on 4 October is finished here.
The shadow is the part worth knowing about. Conversations reopened in the retrograde usually reach their conclusion in this final stretch, well after the station day.

The Bigger Picture
The slow planets barely move all month and all of them are worth knowing about. Jupiter is in late Leo, Saturn is retrograde at 8 degrees Aries and Neptune at roughly 2 degrees Aries, both of them stationing direct in December. Uranus is retrograde in early Gemini, which is what puts it on the full moon. Pluto is moving forward again at 3 degrees Aquarius after stationing direct in October.
So the structure of November is: a first half that is still finishing October, a hinge on the 13th, and a second half that moves faster than the first. The month has a clear middle, which most months do not.
If you want one date to plan around, make it the 13th. If you want one to leave empty, make it the 24th.
🌟 To watch these move against your own placements, Your Beautiful Birth Chart lets you step through the month by date and see which houses each transit is touching.
November 2026 by Rising Sign
Whole sign houses make this quick: your rising sign is your entire first house, the next sign is your second, and November lands wherever Scorpio, Libra and Gemini fall for you.
November 2026 for Aries Rising
Both retrogrades release in your eighth and seventh, which is shared money and partnership, so whatever stalled there since early October starts moving on the thirteenth. The Gemini full moon lands in your third, conjunct Uranus, and that combination rarely arrives politely.
November 2026 for Taurus Rising
Venus is your chart ruler and she stations direct in your sixth on the thirteenth, so the release shows up in your working week before it shows up anywhere else. The full moon lands in your second, on money, with Uranus sitting right on it.
November 2026 for Gemini Rising
Mercury is your chart ruler and it turns direct in your sixth on the thirteenth. Then the full moon lands in your first house on the twenty fourth, conjunct Uranus, which is about as direct as the sky gets about wanting you to change something visible.
November 2026 for Cancer Rising
The Scorpio new moon opens your fifth, which is creativity and romance, and the retrogrades release across your fifth and fourth. The full moon in your twelfth means the resolution may land in private, and later than you want.
November 2026 for Leo Rising
The new moon falls in your fourth, on home, while Jupiter sits in your first house all month. The full moon in your eleventh conjunct Uranus points the change outward, toward who you are doing any of it with.
November 2026 for Virgo Rising
Mercury is your chart ruler and stations direct in your third on the thirteenth, which is the most on the nose version of this in the whole zodiac: your ruler, in your own house of thinking and speech, turning forward. Mars enters your first house on the twenty fifth.
November 2026 for Libra Rising
Venus rules your chart and stations direct in your first house on the thirteenth, in your own sign, after a retrograde that spent six weeks asking what you value. The full moon in your ninth gives you a wider answer than you went looking for.
November 2026 for Scorpio Rising
The new moon falls in your first house on the ninth, which makes the whole month yours, and Mercury stations direct there four days later. Both your rulers are in play: Mars moving into Virgo late in the month, Pluto steady in Aquarius. The full moon in your eighth keeps the private things private, mostly.
November 2026 for Sagittarius Rising
Sagittarius season opens on the twenty second and the Sun moves into your first house, which is the annual reset. Before that, the retrogrades release in your twelfth and eleventh, so the month starts hidden and ends pointed at you.
November 2026 for Capricorn Rising
The retrogrades release in your eleventh and tenth, community and career, which is where a Capricorn rising usually feels the weather first. The full moon in your sixth conjunct Uranus may break a routine you were relying on.
November 2026 for Aquarius Rising
The retrogrades release in your tenth and ninth, so public position and belief both stop being stuck on the thirteenth. Pluto sits in your first house through all of it doing something much slower. The full moon in your fifth conjunct Uranus asks what you would make if it did not have to be sensible.
November 2026 for Pisces Rising
The new moon opens your ninth, on belief and distance, and the retrogrades release across your ninth and eighth. The full moon in your fourth conjunct Uranus puts the disruption at home, which for a Pisces rising is usually the last place you wanted it.
All of that is where November falls, and very little of how it will feel, because the house is only the frame. Pluto has years left in Aquarius and Uranus years left in Gemini, both working on houses this month barely mentions, and what is coming in 2027 shapes all of it.
Then there is your own chart. Whether anything of yours sits near five degrees of Scorpio or twenty two of Libra decides whether the thirteenth is a date you notice or a date you remember.
That is what Your Beautiful Birth Chart is for. Your placements by sign and house, every aspect with its orb, and date navigation, so you can move to November 13 and see whether either station lands on anything of yours.
The Numerology of November 2026
November 2026 is a Universal 3 Month, and the arithmetic is quick: 2026 adds to ten and reduces to one, so this is a Universal 1 Year, and one plus eleven gives twelve, which reduces to three.
Three is the expression number. Communication, creativity, putting the thing into words. It arrives in the month two planets stop reversing, which is a reasonable rhyme: October was an 11 month of heightened review, and November is a 3 month where the review gets spoken.
That sequence is worth holding across the two months. Eleven asks you to notice. Three asks you to say it. The retrogrades ending on the thirteenth sit exactly in the middle of that sentence.
All of it is collective, though. Your own Personal Year and Personal Month come from your birth date and can sit anywhere in the cycle, which is usually why one person finds November obvious and another finds it nothing at all.
