November horoscope 2026: Four star signs will ‘feel off’

November has arrived, bringing with it the dreaded Mercury retrograde, along with a number of other celestial happenings set to impact our lives. Sharing her predictions for the month ahead, celebrity psychic Inbaal Honigman says: “November 2026 is a month of two halves, with two significant retrogrades dominating November’s first two weeks, and then both suddenly end on the exact same day.

“Mercury, the planet of communication, and Venus, the planet of love, start the month in retrograde. Mercury is the ruling planet of Gemini and Virgo, while Venus is the ruling planet of Taurus and Libra. This means that four out of the twelve signs begin November feeling a little off. Very unusually, both these retrogrades are scheduled to end on November 13, which is great news for Taurus, Gemini, Virgo and Libra, as well as everyone else. Business launches, proposals and home purchases are best left for the second half of the month for this reason.”

Aries: March 21 to April 19

You knew that this year would involve a lot of hard work, Aries, but now it is actually happening. Saturn, the planet of karma and discipline, is in your sign all month, which helps you stay focused, but the fact that this planet is retrograde throughout November means that a steely determination is needed in order to deal with the constant interruptions that are bound to appear. In addition, Neptune, the planet of dreams, is in your sign all month, giving you the gift of imagination and illusion. Alas, Neptune is retrograde in your sign all month, too. This double retrograde can be confusing and draining, but now that you’re prepared, these reversing planets won’t catch you unawares. The waxing moon in Aries between the 20th and the 22nd injects you with power.

Taurus: April 20 to May 20

Venus is your ruling planet, and therefore now, when it is retrograde, you can feel its effects, Taurus. This planet of love and beauty is the reason that you’re such an enduring homebody, a lover of quality goods and fine dining. This planet is the reason you’re good-looking and have a nice voice. For the first 13 days of the month, Venus is in retrograde, and therefore all your graceful and elegant qualities are struggling to ignite. You will feel as if your light has dimmed and as if people don’t notice you the way they normally do. On the 13th, Venus goes direct again, and all is as it was. Your charm and your easygoing way with peers and colleagues will have returned.

Gemini: May 21 to June 21

Life is one big party for you, Gemini, and now that summer with its funfairs and beach festivals is over, you’re getting truly excited about the festive season. Uranus, the planet of rebellion, is in your sign all month long, which means that you’ll keep active, partly for joy and partly for spite. You’ll have a great month despite the haters; in fact, you’ll have a great month because of the haters. This rebellion touches every aspect of your life – as you change your conduct at work just to see what would happen, and you invite your partner to a cheeky lunchtime date, stepping out of your comfort zone at every opportunity. This planet is retrograde all month, which will bring some historic rebellions to the present, so your high school haircut or a habit you’ve already lost will be making a comeback.

Cancer: June 21 to July 22

The movements of the moon influence you more than any other sign, Cancer, because the moon is your heavenly ruler. The relationship between the moon and the sun, therefore, guides your moves throughout each month. The sun and the moon are always in the same sign during the new moon, which is November 9, 2026. On that day, you feel aligned, primed and ready to make some changes and initiate new beginnings, because you’ve got the sun literally on your side. This is the date to open a new business account or put down a deposit for a dream holiday. On the full moon, the sun and the moon sit opposite each other in the sky, so on November 24, the full moon will make you feel rebellious. Go ahead and say ‘no’ to the high school reunion you’ve wanted to avoid.

Leo: July 23 to August 22

It’s been an exciting couple of months for you, Leo, but it’s time to take the fun off the boil. For the past few weeks, both Jupiter, the planet of luck and Mars, the planet of passion, have been in your sign. Those are two quite intense planets, so you’ve felt optimistic, uplifted and courageous, which is amazing, but it has been non-stop. You’ve felt as if you could take on any challenge successfully, but you haven’t had a break. Going from career success to romantic highs, positive attention and praise from friends… the heat will start to simmer down at the end of November. On the 25th, Mars leaves your sign, which feels like a breath of fresh air. The final 5 days of the month are ideal for booking a mini break or a home spa experience.

Virgo: August 23 to September 22

The Mercury retrograde may be leaving you feeling feeble, but an injection of Mars energy will turn your energy up to 11, Virgo. Since you are ruled by the planet Mercury, you find every Mercury retrograde to be a little challenging. Communication, planning and organising are your favourite things, so when the Mercury retrograde arrives and disrupts all of those, you take it a little personally. Until the 13th, while the retrograde is in place, you are as capable as ever, just not in the mood, so you would do well to book some days off work and enjoy curling up with a magazine or a sitcom. Mars, the planet of passion, enters your sign on the 25th; however, you’re suddenly filled with oodles of energy and power.

Libra: September 23 to October 22

Even though you’ve left Libra season behind, its influences keep stretching over you. Venus, the planet of love, is in your sign all month this November, which means that when it comes to love, you feel the indecisive, shaky hand of Libra, encouraging you to prioritise your home comforts. Libra asks: do you want to stay or leave? Do you want to get more serious or more flirty? There are so many choices! Venus goes retrograde in Libra until the 13th, which makes it a complex time for such decisions. After the 13th, however, your intuition will guide you well, so let your heart want what the heart wants.

Scorpio: October 22 to November 21

Happy Scorpio season!

It’s an intense birthday season for you, and all eyes are on you, Scorpio, and your privacy-loving ways. There are multiple walks of life which are influenced by your watery personality right now. The sun, of course, is in Scorpio until the 22nd, and this brings you centre-stage, as offers and opportunities arrive at your door. Mercury is in Scorpio all month long, which will push you forward in all things communication. If you’ve got to speak in front of an audience, or write a big report, Mercury will help. For the first 13 days of the month, Mercury happens to be in retrograde, so delays are likely, but after the 13th you’ll find things much easier. Finally, the new moon in Scorpio on the 9th invites new beginnings in love and success through goal-setting.

Sagittarius: November 22 to December 21

You’ve waited patiently this whole long year, and at last, Sagittarius season is beginning. On the 22nd, the sun moves into your sign, and with it, your annual celebration begins. The Sun lights you up and makes sure that opportunities do not pass you by. If something is on offer – a job, a dinner, a free ticket to the opera – you can be sure that your name will be called. The moon is in your sign from the 7th to the 10th, giving you a little preview of the sun’s excitement later on. During your moon days you’ll be dreaming vividly, and even prophetically. When you decide that you want something new, the Moon will help you write up a strategy and obtain it.

Capricorn: December 22 to January 19

While the planets are not exactly pushing you forward, it is the moon that serves an exciting boost mid-month, Capricorn. Saturn, your ruling planet, will be in retrograde throughout November. This will postpone some achievements which are lined up for you. The promotion is yours, but not quite yet. The award is in the bag, but you won’t hear about it for a few weeks. During periods of delay, lift your eyes to welcome the days of good fortune. The moon will be in Capricorn from the 12th to the 15th, which is when you’ll have some brilliant ideas for creative directions that will make your life more exciting. The trips, classes and friendships that occur to you during those dates will enhance your month and the year.

Aquarius: January 20 to February 18

During a month so awash with retrogrades, you’re getting away scot-free, without any celestial interruptions, Aquarius. Pluto, planet of rebirth, is in Aquarius for the long haul and will bless you with its quirky, unexpected qualities for 20 years overall. Since you enjoy life on the wild side, you’ll appreciate Pluto’s twists and turns. This planet has been in retrograde since May, and it is finally going direct now. While so many other planets are having a complex month, you and Pluto are strolling along, hand-in-hand, undisturbed. Slowly and quietly, you’re getting your home renovations in order, improving your family relationships, and investing in your fitness, and all this happens smoothly at your own pace all month.

Pisces: February 19 to March 20

Your creative, intuitive world benefits from the good times, and also from the better times, Pisces. Neptune, your ruling planet, is in retrograde all month long, which sends you back searching the depths of your memory. You find yourself thinking about the goals and desires you had when you were small, the long path which you have already trodden, everyone you loved and left. Those thoughts then transmute and become actions, because Neptune is in the active, fast-moving sign of Aries. Before you know it, you’ve joined a group chat of old university friends, signed up for a mosaics class and started writing a book. Doing things that would make past-you happy is exactly what makes present-you happy this month.
