New Moon in Scorpio, Mercury and Venus Turn Direct: Libra, Pisces & Leo for November 9–15, 2026

A new moon is exact at 2:02 am New York time on Monday, at 16°53′ Scorpio, and the strongest influence in its chart is Venus sextile Mars. 1 2

Friday is the pivot. Mercury turns direct at 5°02′ Scorpio at 10:53 am, and Venus turns direct at 22°51′ Libra at 7:27 pm. 1

Until Friday, five planets are retrograde at once — Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune — from October 24 to November 13, which Astrology King says happens about 4% of the time. 2

The weekend supplies the push. The Sun is semisextile Venus just after midnight on Sunday, and Mars and Jupiter are closing on each other for a conjunction exact on the 16th. 1 3

The shared sky

The new moon's influence runs four weeks, to the December 8 new moon. Astrology King puts the best window for starting anything in the two weeks of waxing light up to the November 24 full moon. 2

The degree sits 1°26′ from the fixed star Zubenelgenubi, which he translates as the Insufficient Price. 2 He gives it two faces: fighting spirit and generosity on one side, malevolence, obstruction and an unwillingness to forgive on the other, with a warning that a lack of caution ends in setbacks and loss. 2

Apart from that star, he calls the chart a positive one, with no hard aspects landing on the new moon itself. 2

Venus is sextile Mars at 1:47 am on Tuesday, in range from November 7 to 12. 1 Astrology King rates it the strongest influence on the new moon chart: creative energy, charisma, vitality, and a blend of sexuality and affection that lets you be assertive without reading as threatening. 2 On his transit page he calls it one of the best for romance and socializing, and adds self-promotion and the pet project to the list. 4

Mercury has been retrograde since October 24 and turns direct at 5°02′ Scorpio at 10:53 am on Friday. Venus turns direct eight and a half hours later, at 22°51′ Libra. 1

Astrology.com describes the result as whiplash and then a standstill, a week spent waiting to see how the dust settles. 5 It also gives the two planets a longer clock: Mercury completes its orbit on November 30 and Venus on December 15. 5

Its reading of the week is that these two retrogrades have been rearranging your life since early October, and that the last few weeks are the record of how. 5

Jupiter stands opposite the True Node on Wednesday. Astrology.com reads that as something destined entering or leaving your life, and a redirection of the journey. 5

The Moon is in Scorpio until 3:35 am on Tuesday, in Sagittarius to Thursday, in Capricorn from 3:27 pm on Thursday, and in Aquarius from 4:24 am on Sunday. 1

On Sunday the Sun is semisextile Venus at 1:17 am, in range from November 14 to 16. 1 Mars is closing on Jupiter from Monday, exact on the 16th, which Astrology King reads as enthusiasm, courage and a good sense of timing for beginning something. 3

Four slow influences hold the background. Saturn, in Aries, is opposite Libra's first decan and trine Leo's first decan from October 8, 2026 to February 8, 2027. 3 6

Uranus, in Gemini, squares Pisces' first decan from April 2026 to June 2028. 7 Uranus is also trine Pluto all autumn, exact on November 29, which Astrology King reads as a more adventurous and optimistic outlook. 2

Pluto is in Aquarius, trine Libra's first decan through 2030 and opposite Leo's. 3 6

Jupiter has been in Leo's last decan since September 27 and stays to March 7, 2027. Mars joined it on November 1 for the month. 6

Libra

Your new moon falls in the part of the chart that holds income, and Astrology.com reads it as a door opening to new money: a raise, a side hustle, a job offer. 5 The key, it says, is putting yourself out there. It adds one more option — an old client, or an old source of income, is worth asking this week. 5

Astrology King's split for the sign gives the same week a warmer emphasis. Monday to Thursday, follow your heart's desire and trust your intuition in romantic and sexual matters; you should feel strong, confident and sexy, with the physical beauty and popularity to go with it. 8

His list for that stretch is dating, socializing, self-promotion, and creative or financial projects and partnerships. 8

Friday to Sunday he turns to love, tenderness, harmony and friendship: easy new friends, more popularity, and charm that attracts honest love. 8

Your card is the Ten of Swords, and his reading is about trust. Asked whether a person can be believed, or a situation is stable, the card answers no. 8 His consolation is that one door closing points you toward a better one. 8

Two decan windows carry the week. For October 3 to 12 birthdays, the new moon is semisextile your decan from November 9 to December 8 — small steps toward long-term goals, information gathered objectively, flexibility. 3 For October 13 to 22 birthdays, you get the fuller set: Venus in your decan, Venus sextile Mars, Mars sextile your decan, and Mars conjunct Jupiter from Monday. 3

Career

Venus rules Libra, and it is retrograde in your sign until 7:27 pm on Friday. 1 Astrology.com says your finances have been topsy-turvy through the retrogrades and should settle by the end of the month. 5

Put the income ask in writing before Friday and send it after. Astrology.com's work note wants you to bring your usual appetite into the office, and to settle a subtle problem with a coworker before it turns overt. 9 Wednesday it gives to one thing you have never done there. 9

Thursday and Friday it says hold your routine whatever else happens, and it warns that a lot will happen. 9

Mars is sextile your last decan through November 28, which Astrology King reads as initiative and courage for professional goals. 3 From Monday it is also closing on Jupiter, exact on the 16th: his window for taking a chance and beginning a new project. 3

One caveat sits on it. For September 23 to October 2 birthdays, Saturn is opposite your decan until February 8, 2027, and he reads that as feeling weighed down about the barriers ahead. 3 He prescribes patience and hard work. 3

Relationships

Venus turns direct in Libra at 7:27 pm on Friday. 1 The week before the station is the introspective part: old friends and old lovers tend to reappear, and giving and receiving affection comes harder than usual. 3

Astrology.com's week starts with the body. Monday and Tuesday want dancing, or any other movement, more than they want a conversation. 10

Wednesday and Thursday are the talking days: the two of you cover things you have never covered before, including a list of faraway places you want to see together. 10 Friday to Sunday you put your head down at work instead. 10

Astrology King's Friday-to-Sunday is where the affection lands — tenderness, harmony, and dating that attracts honest love. 8

Hold that next to the Ten of Swords. The card is about trust, and the retrograde is about seeing a situation as it stands rather than as you hoped it stood. 3 8 If a message comes back this week, read it as information about what you value. 3

How Libra meshes this week

Harmonizes well with Leo: Venus in your sign is sextile Mars in Leo at 1:47 am on Tuesday, and Astrology King gives Leo's last decan November 7 to 12 for it, calling it one of the best times of the whole year for romance and socializing. 1 6
Gets useful grounding from Aquarius: Pluto is trine your first decan from 2024 to 2030, read as confidence, power and serious achievement, and the Moon reaches Aquarius at 4:24 am on Sunday. 1 3
May hit friction with Aries: Saturn in Aries is opposite your first decan from October 8, 2026 to February 8, 2027, which he reads as feeling weighed down and pessimistic about the barriers ahead. 3

Monday to Thursday is your stretch for socializing and self-promotion; Friday to Sunday is the one for friendship, with new people easy to collect. 8

Astrology.com's dating note hands the decisions to other people through Wednesday. You will be of two minds about almost everything, so let them choose. 10 Later in the week the roles reverse, and friends who are less sure of themselves about love and beauty will want your read. 10

Vogue's note for the sign is about presentation. After weeks of things feeling slightly off, down to the shoes, a new understanding of who you are and how you want to show up in the world arrives this week. 11 Friday's Venus station is the day that reading fits. 1

The Moon is in Scorpio through Tuesday morning, in Sagittarius to Thursday afternoon, in Capricorn from 3:27 pm Thursday, and in Aquarius from 4:24 am Sunday. 1

Pisces

The new moon at 16°53′ Scorpio is trine your second decan from November 9 to December 8, and Astrology King calls the influence harmonious and relaxing. 7 If you are dating, he says you attract the right person in it; your confidence rises at work, and favours come from others, especially men and people with power. 7

Astrology.com's framing is adventure. It wants you where unusual experiences and inspiring people are, with travel as one route to both. 5

Astrology King puts the confidence at the front of your week. Monday to Wednesday brings energy, vitality and enthusiasm, and the kind of first impression that reaches people who can change your situation. 12

Thursday to Sunday is for meetings and friends, though you will be most comfortable one to one: thinking logically, reading the fine print, and speaking plainly enough to bargain, sell or debate. 12

Your card is the Ten of Wands. He reads it as a load that has grown too heavy, some of it belonging to someone else, and his advice is to pace yourself, cut back, and take the break you have earned. 12

Career

Mercury is trine your first decan from November 5 to 22, which Astrology King reads as tact, diplomacy and better terms than you would get elsewhere, plus the clarity to clear the in-tray and settle a disagreement. 7 The same page carries his retrograde warning inside that window: confusing news, communication problems, and other people rushing you. 7 Mercury turns direct at 10:53 am on Friday. 1

Astrology.com's work week gives Monday to the work you actually want to do, then two days of other people marching in. 13

It says your clarity goes out of the window midweek, and fun returns on Thursday and Friday, when a new business initiative starts to feel like building an art project with a roomful of people. 13

Astrology King's Thursday-to-Sunday instruction is the practical half: hear every detail, read the fine print, then speak. 12 For March 11 to 20 birthdays, the Sun is trine your decan from November 11 to 23, which he reads as superiors noticing your initiative. 7

Relationships

Astrology.com gives you two cooking nights and then a change of scene. Monday or Tuesday, make dinner for the person you have in mind; Wednesday and Thursday keep you at home; Friday to Sunday are the most romantic days of the week, and it says you will be sick of your own four walls. 14

Its dating note says confusion rules Monday and Tuesday, and the fix is to hang back and let other people lead. 14 Romance takes centre stage from Wednesday through Friday, whether as a new crush or a new level of intimacy. 14

Astrology King's new moon trine to your second decan says the same thing from the sky: dating attracts the right person. 7 For March's last ten days, Mars is conjunct Jupiter in your decan from Monday, which he reads as a lift to sex drive and physical attractiveness. 7

Vogue's note is generosity. After a stretch of misaligned commitments and responsibilities, people are unusually generous with you this week. 11

Keep the Ten of Wands in view. Some of what you are carrying this week was handed to you. 12

How Pisces meshes this week

Harmonizes well with Scorpio: the new moon is at 16°53′ Scorpio, trine your second decan from November 9 to December 8, and Mercury in Scorpio is trine your first decan from November 5 to 22. 7
Gets useful grounding from Capricorn: the Moon is in Capricorn from 3:27 pm on Thursday to 4:24 am on Sunday, the stretch Astrology King calls your most practical and clear-headed of the week. 1 12
May hit friction with Gemini: Uranus in Gemini squares your first decan from April 2026 to June 2028, bringing unexpected changes, a disrupted routine, and the urge to break free of it. 7

Thursday to Sunday is the social half of your week, and the smaller the group the better it goes. 12

Astrology.com's dating note puts romance in the middle of the week and hands you back the weekend outdoors. 14

Vogue adds a direction: a new idea or course of study, and new places calling your name. 11 Between Friday's Venus station and the Sun's trine from November 11, the back half of the week is the one to book something into. 1 7

Watch the Moon: Sagittarius from 3:35 am Tuesday, Capricorn from 3:27 pm Thursday, Aquarius from 4:24 am Sunday. 1

Day by day

Day	Lean into	Avoid
Mon, Nov 9	Dinner for the person you have in mind; the new moon is exact at 2:02 am 1 and the week's adventure starts here. 5 14	Taking on a load that belongs to someone else; the Ten of Wands is your card. 12
Tue, Nov 10	Saying yes to the invitation; Venus is sextile Mars at 1:47 am and the Moon is in Sagittarius from 3:35 am. 1	Deciding anything final; Astrology.com says confusion rules Monday and Tuesday. 14
Wed, Nov 11	The room where you can make an impression; Astrology King gives Monday to Wednesday the confidence for it. 12	Pitching while everyone talks over you; Astrology.com has your clarity leaving midweek. 13
Thu, Nov 12	The meeting with the fine print; his Thursday-to-Sunday stretch is built for it. 12	Rushing the document out; Mercury turns direct tomorrow morning. 1
Fri, Nov 13	Sending the proposal after 10:53 am, with Mercury direct. 1	Expecting the day to feel resolved; Astrology.com describes whiplash and then a standstill. 5
Sat, Nov 14	The concert, the drive, the change of scene; Astrology.com's most romantic days. 14	Staying in out of habit; it says you will be sick of the walls by now. 14
Sun, Nov 15	A course, a new place, a person who knows something you do not; Vogue's note for the sign. 11	Volunteering to organise the group thing; the Moon enters Aquarius at 4:24 am and the Ten of Wands asks for less. 1 12

Leo

The new moon at 16°53′ Scorpio is square your second decan from November 9 to December 8. 6 Astrology King reads that as a test of character: stay fixed on your primary goal and you still make progress, and if you run into defeat, the useful response is to reassess the goal. 6

Astrology.com sees the week at home, with more time for family, domestic life and possibly real estate, and a nostalgia that helps you reconnect with something you have been missing. 5

Vogue has a message you have been waiting for finally arriving, and a home that feels physically lighter as you clear things out. 11

Astrology King's split runs from the body to the heart. Monday to Thursday brings passion and a desire for pleasure, with the social skills, self-confidence and magnetism that make other people enjoy your company, and a creative or physical outlet for it, from hobbies through to the career. 15

Friday to Sunday puts love, beauty and affection in the middle of the room, and he calls it a particularly good stretch to begin a relationship, start dating, or get engaged. 15

Your card is the Three of Swords, the pierced heart. His reading allows for the sorrow and adds the second half: feel it fully and it turns into understanding and joy, because some emotional issue has to be faced before it can be left behind. 15 His one rule is to set your own limit on how long you sit with it. 15

Career

Jupiter has been in your last decan since September 27 and stays to March 7, 2027, which Astrology King reads as growth, good luck and open doors in relationships, travel, education, business and legal matters. 6 Mars is in the same decan for November, adding energy and courage along with a shorter fuse. 6

From Monday the two are closing on each other, exact on the 16th. He describes the conjunction as the window to get active and take a chance, with the sense of timing that makes a new project move easily. 6

Mercury is square your first decan from November 5 to 22, which he reads as nervous, indecisive and easy to misread; his prescription is to listen more than talk, refuse to be rushed, and get a second opinion. 6 The Sun squares your third decan from November 11, which he reads as authority figures testing your goals. 6

Astrology.com's work week repeats the advice in plainer words. Monday you can feel your boss watching and the situation has no clean answer; Tuesday and Wednesday are for collecting other people's advice with very little talking; Thursday and Friday the answers surface and you act. 16

Relationships

Friday to Sunday is Astrology King's best stretch of the week for love, and the one where he raises engagement and marriage. 15

Venus is sextile Mars through November 12, which he calls one of the best times of the whole year for romance, and Venus itself turns direct at 7:27 pm on Friday. 1 6

Astrology.com's week starts stubborn. Monday and Tuesday you are wrapped up in the situation and it warns you off saying something arrogant. 17

Wednesday and Thursday ease, and the stubbornness that was driving the other person mad starts reading as admirable in a different context. 17 Friday to Sunday you spend talking about how much you like being around each other. 17

Its dating note is more direct: keep pushing with the one person who is playing it cool, and the weekend's energy burst confirms what you already knew. 17

The Three of Swords is the other half of that. Something this week wants to be felt rather than managed, and his reading is that facing it is what lets it go. 15

How Leo meshes this week

Harmonizes well with Libra: Venus in Libra is sextile Mars in your last decan at 1:47 am on Tuesday, in range from November 7 to 12, which Astrology King calls one of the best times of the year for romance and socializing. 1 6
Gets useful grounding from Aries: Saturn in Aries is trine your first decan from October 8, 2026 to February 8, 2027, read as steady progress and real achievement through patience and duty. 6
May hit friction with Scorpio: the new moon at 16°53′ Scorpio squares your second decan from November 9 to December 8, and the Sun squares your third decan from November 11. 6

Monday to Thursday is the sociable half: other people are drawn to you, your charm runs high, and it is a good window for self-promotion. 15 Friday to Sunday keeps the warmth and turns it toward people you already love. 15

Astrology.com says you make a strong impression early in the week on wit alone, and it wants that persistence kept up with the person who is being difficult about it. 17

Vogue's note is the domestic version of the same thing: communication with the people you live with clears up, and the room gets lighter as you get rid of things. 11

The Moon is in Scorpio until 3:35 am Tuesday, in Sagittarius to Thursday afternoon, in Capricorn from 3:27 pm Thursday, and in Aquarius from 4:24 am Sunday. 1

Day by day

Day	Lean into	Avoid
Mon, Nov 9	The honest conversation at home; the new moon is exact at 2:02 am 1 and Vogue has the message landing. 6 11	The arrogant line; Astrology.com's Monday warning. 17
Tue, Nov 10	Saying the affectionate thing out loud; Venus is sextile Mars at 1:47 am and your last decan holds it from November 7 to 12. 1 6	Reopening the old argument; the Three of Swords asks for it to be felt once. 15
Wed, Nov 11	Asking for advice and then listening; Astrology.com's Tuesday-and-Wednesday instruction. 16	The sharp message; Mercury is square your first decan until November 22. 6
Thu, Nov 12	The first move on the new project; Mars is closing on Jupiter for the 16th. 6	Promising a superior a second deliverable; Mercury's square makes you easy to rush. 6
Fri, Nov 13	Acting on the answer that surfaced; Mercury turns direct at 10:53 am and Venus at 7:27 pm. 1	The grand gesture before you have a reply; Venus turns direct that evening. 1
Sat, Nov 14	The date or the declaration; Astrology King's Friday-to-Sunday stretch is his best of the week. 15	Keeping the sorrow going; his reading of the Three of Swords asks you to set the limit yourself. 15
Sun, Nov 15	The room, the family, the thing you have been meaning to clear out; the new moon is in your domestic sector. 5	Picking a fight with someone above you; the Sun is square your third decan until November 23. 6

The week at a glance

Sign	Career	Relationships	Social life
Libra	New income is the opening — an old client, a raise, a side hustle — and the ask goes out after Venus turns direct at 7:27 pm on Friday. 1 5	Monday and Tuesday want movement, Wednesday and Thursday want the conversation you have never had, Friday to Sunday want tenderness. 8 10	Socializing and self-promotion Monday to Thursday; friendship and a fresh read on how you want to show up from Friday. 8 11
Pisces	Mercury's trine gives you the better terms, the fine print is your job from Thursday, and Mercury turns direct at 10:53 am on Friday. 1 7	Confusion Monday and Tuesday, romance centre stage from Wednesday to Friday, and the most romantic days of the week arriving with the weekend. 14	Meetings and friends Thursday to Sunday, one to one over groups, with a new place or a new course worth booking. 11 12
Leo	Mars meets Jupiter in your last decan on the 16th, so start the project now, and spend Monday to Wednesday collecting advice. 6 16	Stubborn through Tuesday, easier from Wednesday, and the week's best stretch for love from Friday, with Venus direct that evening. 1 15 17	Magnetism Monday to Thursday, warmth Friday to Sunday, and a home that gets lighter as you clear it out. 11 15
