Your November 2026 Horoscope for Aries
by Susan MillerYou may feel it’s hard to believe we are in November already. You’ve been working hard. You didn’t have easy aspects in October, but you found a way to deal with them, and by the end, turned the tables in your favor. This month will be a bit easier, and December easier still.
The new moon will come up on November 9 in Scorpio (17º) and light your eighth house of other people’s money. That area of your chart rules such topics as credit card statements, loans, mortgages, rent, taxes, court settlements, divorce agreements, inheritances, and money you may owe others. You need a little fun, but the new moon, traveling with Mercury, will be at odds with two planets—your ruler, Mars, along with Jupiter, both in your fifth house of fun, love, romance, pregnancy, and time with children. And Mercury, also in Scorpio, will be in conflict with Pluto in Aquarius and your house of social activity.
This does not mean you will have no fun, but with Venus and Mercury both retrograde at the time of the new moon, you might want to trim your plans a bit to be sure you have money left over for holiday socializing and, of course, shopping. More (and better) parties will come up in December, so don’t be blue—with two of the three “personal planets” currently retrograde (Venus and Mercury—Mars is the third, but he is not retrograde), you will feel their influence strongly. This is a long way of saying you may not enjoy all those social activities you’ll be attending as much as you anticipate. If you are single, Venus retrograde is not the right time to meet a new romantic partner, so stay home and read a good book.
Both Venus and Mercury will go direct on November 13, just in time to get ready for the festive coming season. Venus won’t retrograde again for 18 months (May 10 to June 22, 2028) and Mercury will not retrograde again for a while (February 9 to March 3, 2027), so after November 13 you will have an open road. When it comes to romance and fun, you are aces, for you have Jupiter in Leo visiting your fifth house of true love and children. This planet of good fortune will remain there until July 25, 2027. Be patient. After November 13, you will have many opportunities to enjoy love.
