The cosmic forecast for November has a few bumps in the road, namely, pesky Mercury retrograde! If you plan to travel home for the holidays, you’ll want to take note. Even so, there are plenty of astrological reasons to be thankful. Our November horoscope has you covered all the way.
November 2026 Astrology Overview
The New Moon in Scorpio on the 9th is fantastic for updating your budget. A well-organized budget will have you holiday-ready. While you’re at it, get your nest prepared for decorations by clearing out the Halloween cobwebs and leftover candy. Clean out your wallet or purse, protect your garden from frost, and plant your winter annuals.
Mercury direct on the 13th means travel, communication, and technology are ready to behave after weeks of misfires. Just in time before holiday traveling!
More good news: Venus is also direct on the 13th. Venus retrograde can stir up relationship drama and overspending. But now, you can repair partnerships - and wrangle your finances. Look for holiday deals, which might begin to surface soon. Also, if you were itching for a makeover, schedule your appointment soon. A fresh hairdo before Thanksgiving will lift your spirits.
Adventure calls when the Sun leaps into Sagittarius on the 22nd. This marks a four-week period where travel, fun, and optimism reign supreme. Book your holiday trips, make time for play, and find gratitude where you can. The Sun leaves the Archer for the Goat on December 21st.
The Full Moon in Gemini on the 24th is an excellent day to finalize holiday preparations. Clean the house, thaw the turkey, put up decorations, and make your pies. You’ll be ready come Thanksgiving!
Mars in Virgo on the 25th brings out the nitpicky side in everyone. This transit, which lasts until February 21st, is terrific for tackling tasks, decluttering, handling detail-oriented work, and refining goals. However, perfectionism can take over. While it’s great to have a strong work ethic, getting hung up on little things might put you further behind.
