Keep career goals in your crosshairs this November, but move ahead strategically. With the Scorpio Sun shining at the top of your chart, your tenth house of ambition and public image is lit until the 22nd. Add with the year’s only Scorpio new moon landing there on the 9th, you’re poised for a professional reboot.

But patience first. Until the 13th, personal planets Mercury and Venus are retrograde, making negotiations, contracts or travel plans messy. Instead of forcing outcomes, refine your goals and polish your pitch. By midmonth, opportunities align, and you’ll be ready to make your moves.

In the meanwhile, get out and network! Excitable Mars powers through Leo until the 25th, energizing your seventh house of partnerships. Dynamic duos—romantic, business or creative—keep you busy! The red planet can stir impatience, though. Careful not to push your agenda or to make unilateral decisions. Even if you see a dreamy future ahead, you need to advance at a pace that works for BOTH of you.

Group efforts pick up steam after the 22nd, as the Sun surges into Sagittarius and your eleventh house of teamwork and tech (AKA “the Aquarius house”). Your influence stretches far when you plug into the right circles. Be ready for your closeup on the 24th, when the Gemini full supermoon beams into your fifth house of fame, creativity and romance. Get ready for a milestone moment with your artistry, or a dramatic arc to a love story. Either way, you’ll be happy to have everything out in the open.

There’s plenty bubbling backstage, too, especially once Mars moves into Virgo and your seductive, mysterious eighth house from the 25th. You’re ready to hit the accelerator on a private initiative. With the red planet revving your engines here for the rest of the year, you’re ready to go “all in,” but make sure you know exactly what’s involved. Once you commit, it will be hard to quit!

You’re mission-driven with the Sun in Scorpio until November 22

You’ve got goals to reach before the year ends, and there’s no stopping you now. While others slip into pre-holiday mode, you’re gearing up to hit a few milestones before 2026 officially ends. Until November 22, the Sun is in Scorpio, your tenth house of career, prestige and status.

Plain and simple, this is your most ambitious time of year, Aquarius. You could make major headway on a high-profile project and score a promotion or a year-end career coup in the process. Your hard work could also attract well-deserved recognition. You’ve got no time for drama and nonsense, Aquarius: You’re on a mission, and the only way to go is up!

Just beware that the elevator could make a few stops, or return to the mezzanine a couple times. Mercury and Venus are both retrograde until November 13—and Mercury’s reversing through Scorpio and this same ambitious zone. That could add a few plot twists to navigate. Retrogrades favor the past, so you could find opportunity through former colleagues or clients. Reach out to an old company or mentor. You never know!

Once Mercury and Venus correct course midmonth, it’s game ON when it comes to your goals and responsibilities. Deadlines and demands will ramp up, so you’ll have to be vigilant about managing your schedule and keeping firm boundaries intact. While an exciting project could put your name in lights or position you for a new role, you need to get clear on the time commitment and spell out every expectation before you say yes.

Lastly, just because you’re busy, don’t skip all the holiday parties. Just be choosy, Aquarius! Show up for the VIP invitations and also for the people who always show up for you. No excuses.

The Scorpio new moon on November 9 could deliver a big victory for you

Reach for your fullest potential, Aquarius. The November 9 Scorpio new moon is an ideal day to kick off an ambitious project or to apply for a new job if you’re looking. With a fresh six-month cycle starting in your career zone, today’s power moves could yield a big professional victory, possibly before the year is over and certainly between now and 2027’s TWO rare, back-to-back Scorpio full moons, on April 20 and May 20!

Got your sights set on a leadership role or an equally big next step? Since new moons can take up to six months to fully unfold, map out a trajectory that gets you to Spring. Speak to a mentor or supervisor about what you need to do, like acquiring new skills, getting advanced training or a professional certification, so you can position yourself for that.

Just watch out for a curveball with Mercury and Venus both retrograde until November 13. Intense mood swings (yours or someone else’s) can throw everything off, like turning a calm conversation into a heated argument. With the new moon in your tenth house of fathers, family could be a source of chaos. Trying to figure out upcoming holiday plans? Save that for another day!

Knowing this, go out of your way to avoid pushing people’s buttons and don’t allow your own to be pressed if you can help it. Should you lose your temper or your cool, get back to center as fast as you can. You might experience a sudden change in your living situation or family structure, forcing you to factor this into whatever you’re plotting for your career.

Retrograde relief! Mercury and Venus turn direct November 13: Communication and romance get unstuck

Hard reset! Mercury and Venus both end their retrogrades on November 13, clearing up interpersonal static after weeks of mixed signals and relationship turbulence. Both Mercury and Venus backed through Scorpio and your professional tenth house. Since October 25, Venus has been reversing through Libra and your visionary ninth house.

Mercury’s backspin through Scorpio, which started on October 24, muddled communication at work especially. Now, crossed wires slowly untangle and cutthroat dynamics can ease into healthy competition or even cooperation. Once Mercury resumes forward motion in your ambitious tenth house, Aquarius, you can regain traction and confidence to revisit a stalled opportunity or a conversation with someone influential. Use this reset wisely: refine your goals, refresh your pitch and take one clear step forward.

Venus, meanwhile, is ready to have honest conversations and clear the air. Since October 3, the love planet’s retrograde tested our ties, made extra intense by its trip through two relationship-focused signs: seductive Scorpio, then companionship-minded Libra starting October 25.

Venus goes retrograde every 18 months, and while these cycles can deepen bonds, they can also stir up tension. Starting today, the tide turns. Venus moves forward for the rest of the year, helping you attract opportunities while it’s in Libra until December 4. Situations that felt like lost causes could get a do-over, and someone you’d written off might earn a second chance. After that, Venus spends the rest of the year in Scorpio and your career sector. Get ready for a strong closeout of 2026, and some fun holiday parties that could also bring great connections!

With Venus powering forward in Libra and your ninth house of expansion, confusion around your career or long-term plans clears up. Even if you weren’t totally sidetracked, a big goal may have been delayed. But starting now, you can get those coffee dates back on the calendar and start talking about or planning your next vacation! The ninth house rules travel, and with the retrograde coast clear, getting away from your familiar spaces could refresh your perspective.

Sagittarius season begins November 22: Bring on the fun!

Lean on your team, Aquarius! After working hard on your goals all month, collaborations could take flight. Sagittarius season begins on November 22 as the Sun enters the Archer’s court for a monthlong sashay through your eleventh house of group activity and friendship.

This is a great time to hit the holiday party circuit to network and catch up with your crew. Combine business and pleasure and maybe even host a casual gathering or official event to promote something special you’re working on. Naturally you’ll want to keep an eye on your goals, but DO untether yourself from your desk now. You’ll accomplish more when you’re out in a social setting than you will while locked into your workspace.

One caution arrives November 25, when for the first time since the 1940s, the Sagittarius Sun faces off against unpredictable Uranus (your ruler), which is in curious Gemini and your passionate fifth house. Life could suddenly turn colorful! That could be fun…until it isn’t. Someone’s dramatic or divalike antics could disrupt the harmony of a group, just when things were going so well.

At this Sun-Uranus opposition, make sure everyone gets a chance to speak and feel heard. If you’re hosting a gathering, leave the disruptive types off the guest list when possible. A friendship could suddenly start to feel romantic, but careful before you go there with a platonic pal or a friend-of-a-friend. The attraction could sizzle then fizzle, but the aftershocks might linger a bit longer.

The Gemini full moon on November 24 kicks off festive and frisky fun

Some holiday-season romance could be on the agenda, Aquarius, as the November 24 Gemini full moon spotlights your fifth house of passion, creativity and self-expression. And since this one’s a supermoon, a frisky fling could make for a festive 2026 finale!

Supermoons arrive at a distance closer to Earth, appearing bigger and brighter than other new or full moons. Astrologers believe supermoons can amplify the astrological traits of the sign the moon is in. This is the fourth of five supermoons in 2026 (the last one is next month in Cancer).

The Gemini full moon also trines magnetic Pluto in Aquarius and joins forces with humanitarian Uranus, your ruling planet. You’ll certainly attract attention, so make the most of it and put your talents on display. While you’re at it, break out the bling! This is the time for your most glittery, over-the-top looks that turn every head your way. If you’re hitting a Thanksgiving week gathering, pace yourself at the bar. In this cosmic climate, you could be one drink away from a scandal, and that’s a messy cleanup you don’t need.

The second Pluto–Uranus trine of 2026 inspires radical reinvention on November 29

Power meets progress, again! Visionary Pluto in Aquarius and experimental Uranus in Gemini form their second rare trine of 2026 on November 29 (the first was on July 18, part of the famed “Barbault Basket”), doubling down on breakthroughs in how we connect, communicate and build community—a storyline that runs through 2028. This round asks you to dig deeper: which outdated structures or stale beliefs are ready to be scrapped for good?

For you, Aquarius, the spotlight needs adjusting. In July, this cosmic connection between your first and fifth houses amplified your magnetism and may have delivered a surprise romantic plot twist. Now, as your ruler Uranus retrogrades through Gemini and your fifth house of romance, creativity and self-expression, you’re revisiting what truly lights you up. Has a passion project been gathering dust? Dust it off and see it with fresh eyes. An old flame could flicker back to life, or you might realize what you really want in love looks different than you thought.

Meanwhile, powerful Pluto in your sign continues its long-term transformation of your first house of identity and personal power. You’re shedding layers, and the version of you emerging is more authentic. Are you dimming your light to make others comfortable? Stop. Trust your instincts, embrace your quirks and take up space without apology. The world needs your originality, Aquarius, and the people who truly matter will love you for showing up as yourself.

Love & Relationships

Fired up or tired out? Your love life could swing in both directions this month. On the sizzling side, red-hot Mars is in Leo until November 25, pumping up the passion in your committed relationships house. And it doesn’t stop there. Mars will spend the rest of the year in Virgo and your eighth house of merging and intimate connections. The Gemini full moon on November 24 could also bring mistletoe magic—perhaps a passionate encounter that leads to much more. For coupled Aquarians, ‘tis the season to get extra-close to the one you love.

But…don’t smother them! Or fence yourself in, for that matter. Until November 13, love planet Venus and communicator Mercury are both tangled in retrogrades, which could bring pressure from work or travel planning. Be mindful not to take the stress out on your closest people, especially since impatient Mars can give you a short fuse. An ex could ping you from afar, sliding into your DMs and making you forget why you broke up in the first place. Opening that door could either send the skeletons tumbling out…or maybe you’ll realize that timing wasn’t on your side the first go-round and it’s worth a second chance.

Consider all possibilities once Venus corrects course, especially while it remains in Libra and your “why the heck not?” ninth house until December 4. After that, you’ll be looking at prospects through a more serious lens and evaluating their long-term potential. Until early December, Venus in your ninth house of travel and expansion makes you hungry for fresh experiences. Plan a weekend escape, explore a new culture together or reconnect with a long-distance friend. Then Venus returns to your tenth house of status and long-term goals; you may be ready to make things official before the year is over.

Before Venus leaves Libra, it locks into a tense opposition with wounded healer Chiron in Aries and your communication zone on November 28. If you’ve been holding back your feelings for fear of saying the wrong thing, this reflective transit helps you find the words. After a long retrograde season, you might have a few things to apologize for or clarify. Give the other person the benefit of the doubt and speak your truth.

Money + Career

You’re all fired up—but where are you going? Before you shoot off like a flying car into the stratosphere, slow down and calibrate your course. You’ve got blue-sky dreams and supersized ideas, and you want to accomplish them all like, yesterday. But with communication and technology planet Mercury retrograde in Scorpio and your tenth house of career, ambition and long-term plans until November 13, it could be hard to get others on board. Run the numbers and give it all a reality check, even if that temporarily kills your buzz.

With Mercury retrograde, you could clash with an authority figure or client, or struggle to get a key decisionmaker’s buy-in. Go back to the drawing board and support your case with facts and figures. Maybe their “no” has some value? If you can set aside your pride and get interested in what’s behind that response, you could win some lasting and well-connected allies.

P.S. You don’t have to do it alone! On November 22, the Sun moves into Sagittarius and your teamwork house for a month. Collaborations heat up and everything’s more fun when you do it with your crew. Make the rounds of those holiday events and parties, since you’ll be a networking machine with Mars in Leo and your partnership zone adding an extra boost of charisma until November 28. When Mars enters Virgo and your wealth sector on the 28th, it starts a long cycle through both of these signs, which could bring exciting alliances and investment opportunities your way.
