Astrology Calendars Current

Monday, NOVEMBER 9

The New Moon occurs early today, at 2:02 AM EST, in the sign of Scorpio. We’re encouraged to step out of our comfort zone and welcome new ways to live, heal, and transform. It’s a time for taking a good look at what we may have chosen to sweep under the carpet.

Taking time to understand others’ motives can enrich our feelings of intimacy, forgiveness, and meaning. We might use this cycle to focus on and develop one special project or relationship to help add purposefulness and depth to our lives. It can also be a time to seek ways to release our fear of confrontations and heavy emotional situations.

We’re discovering that although they may be uncomfortable, these situations can lead us toward psychological healing. We’re receiving a strong prompt to approach our intimate relationships, power dynamics, shared resources, and dependencies in new and improved ways.

This New Moon widely aligns with retrograde Mercury and widely squares the Mars-Jupiter alignment in Leo, and we may be looking to drum up support from others and find motivation within ourselves to accomplish our goals. However, we might struggle with a concurrent desire to be more aboveboard or direct instead of strategic.

Later today, we head toward a Venus-Mars sextile, which supports flow and ease in close personal interactions without sacrificing engagement. We can make connections that prove fruitful and fortunate, and business relationships and pursuits can prosper.

However, because Venus is still retrograde until the 13th, it’s best to wait to formalize any new ventures. Fortunately, we’re likely to find creative, even inventive, channels for connecting with our feelings.

The Moon is void from 6:26 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Jupiter), until the Moon enters Sagittarius the next day, Tuesday, November 10th, at 3:36 AM EST.

The Moon is New in Scorpio on November 9, 2026, at 2:02 AM EST.

New Moon in Scorpio Chart: November 9th, 2026

This phase of the Moon occurs at 16 degrees and 53 minutes of Scorpio. This New Moon widely aligns with retrograde Mercury and widely squares the Mars-Jupiter alignment in Leo.

In the sign of Scorpio, matters related to intimacy, control, power, money, and sharing will be a strong focus in the period ahead of this New Moon. New beginnings or fresh starts are possible in these areas.

The New Moon in Scorpio marks the beginning of a cycle, presenting an opportune time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Scorpion–passionate, resourceful, focused, probing, deep, and perceptive.

Scorpio New Moon cycles favor working on our self-mastery skills. We may want to pinpoint those things that make us feel out of control, such as addictions and debts, and work on freeing ourselves of these emotional burdens.

This New Moon cycle is also opportune for exploring what is missing in our lives that leads us to engage in these self-destructive behaviors.

There can be an opportunity to rid ourselves of “junk” in our lives–material and spiritual. With this potent Scorpio energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives.

Each sign teaches us valuable things, and one of Scorpio’s “lessons” involves learning to dig deeper into the mysteries around us instead of always being content with the status quo. Taking the time to understand others’ motives can enrich our feelings of intimacy, forgiveness, and meaning.

Scorpio also teaches us that dedication to one meaningful relationship or undertaking can be significantly more satisfying than spreading ourselves around. Here, “quality over quantity” applies.

We might want to use this cycle to focus on and develop one special project or relationship to help add purposefulness and depth to our lives.

It can also be a time to seek ways to release our fear of confrontations and heavy emotional situations. We’re discovering that although they may be uncomfortable, these situations can lead us toward psychological healing.

We may be looking to drum up support from others and motivation from within to accomplish our goals. However, we might struggle with a concurrent desire to be more aboveboard or direct instead of strategic.

The New Moon widely aligns with retrograde Mercury, and it’s hard to see our path, but our discomfort with the past can be very real now, motivating new beginnings.

The above chart is excellent for seeing the fundamental influences and chart pattern of this New Moon. The chart below adds more details with additional points. Click to enlarge:

Tuesday, NOVEMBER 10

We’re ready to solve problems today. It’s a time for a creative approach to our relationships and projects, and we’re particularly resourceful. We’re likely to want to express our affections through the actions we take. We are also more interactive and charming than usual.

The Moon continues its transit of Scorpio only until 3:36 AM EST today, when it heads into Sagittarius.

With the Sagittarius Moon, our focus turns outward, and we set our sights high. Optimism is one of this position’s strengths, but watch for overlooking essential details in a plan.

Around midday, events may pull us out of our routine, or we could be seeking a loophole or a way out of emotional responsibilities.

However, we’re determined to expand our worlds while also finding ways to detach and calm ourselves by connecting to our dreams and ideals.

The Moon is void today until it enters Sagittarius at 3:36 AM EST.

Main Astrology Calendar

Jupiter opposition North Node.

Jupiter, at 25° Leo 32’, forms an opposition aspect with the True North Node of the Moon at 25° Aquarius 32’ in November 2026. This is the first of three such aspects while Jupiter is in Leo and the True North Node is in Aquarius. [Note: Often, aspects formed between outer planets and slow-moving points occur three times in a set due to retrograde motion.]

With Jupiter opposition North Node, we may be avoiding our need to contribute to the community by prioritizing our personal needs and lives. Jupiter’s alignment with the South Node of the Moon (which is the same as its opposition to the North Node) points to a tendency to grab at things that comfort us but are no longer serving us well in our growth and development. We should watch for these types of excesses, which can magnify at this time.

It can be difficult to trust our intuition under this influence until we can learn to embrace our need to explore, discover, and branch out, detaching ourselves from time to time from our intense personal focus. While Jupiter encourages us to embrace our personal life, if we don’t balance our vision with our responsibilities to others, we may stagnate or flounder.

We can frequently find ourselves at odds with one another over our viewpoints or moral values during this transit. We’re now encouraged to consider new ideas or experiences. The key is to aim for a balance instead of a tug-of-war. It’s time to give back to others to keep the flow of abundance constant.

Jupiter opposition North Node dates:

• on November 12th, 2026, Jupiter at 25º Leo 32′ and the True North Node at 25° 32′ of Aquarius (first)
• on February 22nd, 2027, Jupiter at 20º Leo 32′ (second)
• on April 23rd, 2027, Jupiter at 17º Leo 10′ (third)

Mercury now turns direct at 5° Scorpio 02′.

Mercury was retrograde from October 24th, 2026, at 20° Scorpio 59′, to November 13th, 2026, at 5° Scorpio 02′.

Mercury Retrograde Cycle from October 24 to November 13, 2026:

Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio: October 24th to November 13th, 2026

• On October 4, 2026, Mercury enters the Retrograde Zone (pre-retrograde shadow) at 5° Scorpio 02′
• On October 24, 2026, Mercury stations and turns retrograde at 20° Scorpio 59’Rx
• On November 13, 2026, Mercury stations and turns direct at 5° Scorpio 02’D
• On November 30, 2026, Mercury leaves the Retrograde Zone (post-retrograde zone) at 20° Scorpio 59′

The year 2026’s third and final retrograde Mercury cycle began on October 24th and ends now.

Mercury’s post-retrograde shadow (from November 13th to 30th) is generally better for new long-term endeavors than the pre-retrogrades shadow. For new enterprises in the pre-retrograde shadow, the venture’s secondary progressed Mercury will turn direction (retrograde) in the coming years, which may not be ideal.

Also note that things are most wonky on and around the days of the stations whether Mercury is turning retrograde OR direct (the start and end dates of the retrograde cycle) as the shifts occur, after which we grow more accustomed to the energy. This time around, the dates of the stations are October 24th and November 13th.

Mercury is retrograde approximately three times a year for approximately three weeks each time. As such, retrograde Mercury is a fairly common occurrence (Mercury is retrograde approximately 18% of the time).

As the planet of communication, Mercury retrograde tends to breed a certain level of confusion. Mercury rules our “lower” mind–how we perceive and interpret information that we receive from our environment, and how we relay that information to others. Mercury has rulership over such things as speaking, negotiating, buying and selling, listening, formal contracts, documents, travel, the mail and shipping, and so forth. All of these areas of life are affected when Mercury is functioning in a sluggish state. Decision-making is challenged during Mercury retrograde.

Needless to say, it is not advised to sign contracts, engage in important decision-making, or launch a new business. Delays and challenges are more probable with Mercury retrograde. It’s a time when being careless with money, our personal information, or paperwork can be costly.

While Mercury was retrograde, we may have been rethinking a previous plan or pursuit. Looking to the signs and houses it transits can give clues as to what we may be deciding. In the sign of Scorpio, we were reconsidering matters of finances, intimacy, psychology, and power sharing.

Now that Mercury is direct, slowly but surely, information unclogs, and we can move on. Ideally, while Mercury was retrograde, we had the chance to catch up, refine details, and change our minds if needed.

Mercury Direct

Venus now turns direct at 22° Libra 52′ after several weeks of retrograde motion.

The Moon is Full in Gemini on November 24, 2026, at 9:53 AM EST.

Full Moon in Gemini Chart: November 24th, 2026

The Gemini Moon exactly opposes the Sagittarius Sun. The Gemini-Sagittarius polarity is a mental axis, where Gemini represents the “lower mind” and Sagittarius represents the “higher mind”. A Gemini Moon encourages us to think logically, while Sagittarius persuades us to think in a far broader manner. Sagittarius symbolizes the quest for meaning and ideas that expand upon the here and now.

Gemini is quite comfortable in his or her immediate environment or neighborhood, while Sagittarius stimulates us to venture beyond. Neglecting either end of the axis will surely backfire on us. Ideally, a balance should be found between the two energies, and this is what the Full Moon invites us to do.

This Full Moon is about communication, attitude, and sense of adventure. Something has been building inside of us, and now is the time when the energy of the cosmos fairly demands that we let it out. Over the next two weeks, we will discover what this means for us. For now, we can’t sit on our feelings. We need to express them.

The Full Moon is a time of culmination and the promise of fulfillment of that which was started at the New Moon. It is an emotional time–a time of romance, fertilization, and relationships. With the Moon full and bright in the sky, symbolic “illumination” occurs in our own lives.

However, these feelings and revelations are emotional ones, as there is a sense of emotions bursting forth into our consciousness. It’s time to express ourselves and to let things out of our systems. Of course, we might want to exercise some care while doing so, knowing that what is coming out of us is not particularly rational as yet.

Finalizing plans should probably be saved for a later date and we should watch for too-quick decisions and actions, but paying close attention to what’s illuminated now makes sense. Through the events or the tensions of this time, we can ultimately get to a better understanding of ourselves, and particularly of our desires.

This lunation occurs when the Moon aligns with Uranus, squares Mars, and harmonizes with Pluto and Neptune. These influences add an element of surprise to our feelings and revelations. The desire to experience something new, exciting, and bold can figure strongly.

There can be a strong urge–or need–to break free from old patterns in our relationships. A powerful sense of mission is with us as we discover, explore, and embrace our feelings, even though we can also feel divided or pulled in different directions.

The chart wheel above shows the main, most important influences, which is useful to see the chart patterns and heaviest factors. Below, the chart wheel has some additional points, such as Chiron, major asteroids, Eris, and more. Click on it to enlarge.

Full Moon in Gemini 2026 (with additional points)

This phase of the Moon occurs at 2 degrees and 20 minutes of Gemini opposite the Sun at 2 degrees 20 minutes of Sagittarius, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 9 to 17 degrees of the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) most significantly.

Uranus trine Pluto.

Uranus, at 3º Gemini 32′, forms a trine aspect with Pluto at 3° Aquarius 32’ in November 2026. This is the second of five such aspects while Uranus is in Gemini and Pluto is in Aquarius. [Note: Often, aspects formed between outer planets and slow-moving points occur three or more times in a set due to retrograde motion.]

When Uranus and Pluto connect, our need for reform is activated.

With Uranus trine Pluto, we more readily tap into our deeper ambitions and motivations, and this knowledge of and connection with our inner selves can lead to terrific new directions. It’s a powerful period for psychoanalysis, as we’re just detached enough to delve into our personal psychology more objectively.

We recognize the need for change and reform, but also realize that having a solid plan of action is to our great benefit. As such, it can be a time of measured, deliberate change-making. It’s a fine time for forging new alliances and friendships. We might awaken to hidden or dormant talents, including inventiveness, or recognize a stronger desire for independence and freedom. The desire for new experiences is strong.

On another level, it can be a time to use our power and spread our resources more fruitfully and fairly. It can be a time of important and meaningful social shifts as we recognize inequities and course correct. We’re not only unafraid to address touchy, complex, or taboo issues we once glossed over or ignored, but we also find creative solutions. We no longer unquestioningly accept the status quo, and we no longer tolerate keeping our heads in the sand to keep the peace. Still, we should watch for overconfidence as we unearth dark or hidden matter more quickly than we can process it.

It’s a potentially powerful time for reform, growth, and change, particularly related to sharing power and resources, individuality, and humanitarian, philosophical, or religious beliefs and practices.

• on July 18th, 2026, Uranus at 4º Gemini 30′ and Pluto at 4° 30′ of Aquarius (first)

Jupiter trine Chiron.

Jupiter, at 26° Leo 50’, forms a trine aspect with Chiron at 26° Aries 50’ in early December 2026. This is the first of three such aspects while Jupiter is in late Leo and early Virgo and Chiron is in late Aries and early Taurus. [Note: Often, aspects formed between outer planets and slow-moving points occur three times in a set due to retrograde motion.]

When Jupiter and Chiron connect, we explore our capacity to understand and comprehend, as well as our relationship to our beliefs, understanding of the truth, and the desire to share, guide, teach, and learn.

With Jupiter trine Chiron, our attempts to broaden our horizons through experiences such as furthering our education, expanding our activities, and deepening our spirituality contribute greatly to our personal growth.

This subtly uplifting time offers us the opportunity to free ourselves from restrictive and negative attitudes that have been undermining our progress. We are especially open to learning from others and better able to help others understand our point of view.

We might open our minds to different perspectives and philosophies. We’re more likely to root for and support the underdog. Absorbing and possibly sharing what we’ve learned from past experiences and mistakes can be a theme. It can be a time to embrace genuineness and humility, as well as to break through hypocrisy.

The Moon is New in Sagittarius on December 8, 2026, at 7:52 PM EST.

New Moon in Sagittarius Chart: December 8, 2026

The New Moon in Sagittarius marks the beginning of a new cycle.

Representing new beginnings, the New Moon occurs with the Sun and Moon’s alignment in the mutable fire sign of Sagittarius. It’s a time when we can focus on some of the constructive traits of the sign of the Archer – optimistic, enthusiastic, adventurous, honest, outspoken, independent – and consider how to positively incorporate these qualities into our lives.

As we advance, we can focus on goals that will increase our understanding and awareness, give us the courage to expand our horizons, and gain confidence and optimism from a broader perspective. All too easily, we can get lost in the details of mundane existence. With this potent Sagittarius energy, however, we can find ways to transcend these details of day-to-day life and nurture our faith, hope, and vision.

Because Sagittarius thinks in big terms, we may have a tendency to overdo our expectations – something to watch for. We are setting the stage for reaping the rewards from our braveries, as little or big as they may be, in approximately two weeks’ time after the Full Moon occurs.

This New Moon is near the midpoint of Venus and Mars and is widely conjunct both bodies, supporting our creativity, energy, and motivation levels. However, it forms a square with Saturn and Neptune, suggesting blocks to our efforts to begin anew, especially in the form of attitudes that swing from overly pessimistic to overly idealistic. Its quincunx to Uranus disrupts the flow as well, and it can result in some hesitance even with a strong desire to start fresh. We may not fully trust our inner muse.

This phase of the Moon occurs at 16 degrees and 57 minutes of Sagittarius, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 13 to 21 degrees of the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) most significantly.

The chart above is excellent for visualizing the major influences in the New Moon chart along with the chart patterns. Below, the chart wheel is of the same event but with a few more points, such as the major asteroids and Chiron.

New Moon in Sagittarius Chart 2026 (additional points)

Saturn stations and turns direct at 7° Aries 56′ after several months of retrograde motion. This retrograde cycle lasted approximately 4.5 months.

• Saturn turned retrograde on July 13, 2026 at 14° Aries 45′
• Saturn turns direct on November 27, 2026, at 7° Aries 56′.

Saturn Retrograde in Aries: July 26 to December 10, 2026

• Saturn enters retrograde zone/shadow on April 20, 2026, at 7° Aries 56′
• Saturn stationed and turned retrograde on July 26, 2026, at 14° Aries 45′ Rx
• Saturn stations and turns direct on December 10, 2026, at 7° Aries 56’D
• Saturn leaves retrograde zone/shadow on March 15, 2027, at 14° Aries 45′

While Saturn was retrograde, we were more likely to refine and review our status, reputation, long-term goals, and responsibilities.

Saturn turns direct after retrograde motion since July 26th, and this change in direction reminds us to take care of our obligations and bring our goals down to earth. With Saturn’s direct turn, our responsibilities, and perhaps our limitations, tend to magnify. Gradually, our long-term goals and plans will clarify. We become more aware of rules, limits, and boundaries in our lives.

Neptune now turns direct at 1° Aries 37′. Each year, Neptune retrogrades for approximately 5 months. Today, this retrograde cycle ends.

Neptune Retrograde in Aries: July 7-December 12, 2026

• Neptune enters the Retrograde Zone on March 16, 2026,  at 1° Aries 37′
• Neptune stations and turns retrograde on July 7, 2026,  at 4° Aries 25′ Rx
• Neptune stations and turns direct on December 12, 2026, at 1° Aries 37′
• Neptune leaves the Retrograde Zone on April 2, 2027, at 4° Aries 25′

With Neptune direct, our creativity soars, or at least, we are more confident about applying our creativity in the real world. Instead of thinking of this period as a time of disillusionment, we can see it as a time of illumination–when we increasingly see the light. We have more faith in our dreams and visions, in others, and our belief systems. We begin to seek inspiration from external sources.

With Neptune at a station today, we may have difficulty focusing long enough to tackle a task adequately.

Jupiter stations and turns retrograde today.

Jupiter turns retrograde at 27° Leo 01′.

Jupiter is retrograde from December 12, 2026, to April 12, 2027, in the sign of Leo.

Jupiter Retrograde in Leo: December 12, 2026-April 12, 2027

Jupiter Retrograde in Leo:

• Jupiter enters retrograde zone/shadow on September 16, 2026, at 17° Leo 00′
• Jupiter stations and turns retrograde on December 12, 2026, at 27° Leo 01′ Rx
• Jupiter stations and turns direct on April 12, 2027, at 17° Leo 00’D
• Jupiter leaves retrograde zone/shadow on July 10, 2027, at 27° Leo 01′

Note that Jupiter spends its retrograde cycle in the sign of Leo.

See also Jupiter in Leo.

While Jupiter is retrograde, we tend to re-think our goals and plans in the areas of life affected by Jupiter’s transit. It’s a time of questioning what we thought we already knew and developing a new perspective on events and beliefs.

Recognizing areas of excess or extravagance can help us. We may need to slow down specific endeavors if they’ve been moving too quickly, or this happens organically. Some enthusiasm may wane as certain realities of time and energy set in.

The Moon is Full in Cancer on December 23, 2026, at 8:28 PM EST.

Full Moon in Cancer Chart: December 23rd, 2026

A Full Moon occurs when the Sun in Capricorn forms an opposition to the Moon in Cancer. The Full Moon is a time of culmination and the promise of fulfillment of that which was started at the New Moon. It is an emotional time – a time of romance, fertilization, and relationships.

The Cancer-Capricorn polarity deals with the balance between the private life, domesticity, the need for a home base, and nurturance (represented by Cancer) versus the public life, career, reputation, and accountability (represented by Capricorn).

Attachments and love are ruled by Cancer, while achievements and rewards/punishments are ruled by Capricorn. In some ways, this polarity deals with the balance between unconditional love and conditional love. The Cancer Moon encourages us to value our home base and our roots, while Capricorn persuades us to consider our sense of duty and responsibility along public lines.

While Cancer may most enjoy attaching to the home and family, Capricorn urges us to attend to the responsibilities to the outside world. Neglecting either end of the axis will surely backfire on us. Ideally, a balance should be found between the two energies, and this is what the Full Moon invites us to do.

This Full Moon is about balancing our commitment to our career and families. Something has been building inside of us, and now is the time when the energy of the cosmos fairly demands that we let it out. Over the next two weeks, we will discover what this means for us. For now, we can’t sit on our feelings. We need to express them.

Something is exposed or illuminated, prompting us to get in touch with those things in our personal lives that we may have been neglecting or putting off. With so much attention to our relationships, careers, and personal plans these days, a push for considering our emotional needs occurs now.

This is a time to clear up past patterns that have been holding us back from personal fulfillment, particularly those that are home or family-centered or that revolve around our work-home balance and attitudes toward comfort and responsibility.

This Wolf Moon forms a square with Neptune, suggesting some tension created from skewed expectations or swinging between rigidity and impracticality or fuzzy thinking. We should watch for revelations now that lead to a detour from our goals or misinformation. This is a time for opening ourselves up to possibilities but waiting things out. Our revelations are pivotal and growth-oriented, even if we’re battling our expectations and perceptions–they simply will need refinement as we go along.

Full Moon in Cancer chart for December 2026 with additional points

This phase of the Moon occurs at 2 degrees and 14 minutes of Cancer, opposite the Sun at the same degree of Capricorn, affecting people with personal planets and points at approximately 0 to 6 degrees of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) and approximately 28 to 30 degrees of the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces).
