A Go-Now Drive Arrives: Mars Conjunct Jupiter, Nov 13–19, and How the 12 Signs Can Use It

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system, and in astrology it rules Sagittarius.

This article covers the week of 11/13–11/19, 2026 (Taiwan time), when Mars and Jupiter sit close together. For the weeks after that, see this week's horoscope. It's a light, everyday look at the signs, not a prediction, so take it easy, and feel free to see yourself in it.

Why You Suddenly Feel Like Moving This Week

You may notice that something you've been putting off suddenly feels like it needs handling right now, or a plan you want to try pops into your head and just won't go away. According to the ephemeris, Mars and Jupiter meet at around 25 degrees of Leo, with the exact conjunction on Nov 16 at a little after 2 p.m. (Taiwan time). The two planets stay very close from about Nov 13 to Nov 19. Mars rules action and drive, while Jupiter rules expansion and confidence. Put together, they're often described as a stretch of time when you feel braver and want to do more.

The timing is also just right: Mercury turns direct on Nov 13 and Venus turns direct on Nov 14, so the communication that was stuck over the past while is gradually loosening up, which makes this urge to move forward even more noticeable. One more thing to watch: around Nov 18 and 19, the Sun forms a square to Jupiter and Mars, so on those two days it's easier to say too much or agree to too much. Below are situations each of the 12 signs might run into. See which one sounds most like you lately.

Aries: Suddenly Wanting to Sign Up for a Class After Work

Mars and Jupiter fall in your fifth house, so this week you may especially want to play, create, or pick up a hobby you dropped long ago.

Love: If you have a partner, plan one date that's different from usual, like going to look at the night sky together. If you're single, invitations to gatherings may increase this week. Go if you want to, and there's no need to force yourself if you don't.

Money: If you invest, put any hot pick someone shares with you on a watchlist and decide a few days later. If you don't invest, set a spending cap for your hobbies so you can have fun without panicking at the end of the month.

Taurus: Suddenly Wanting to Rearrange the Whole Room on the Weekend

This meeting falls in your fourth house, so home, family, and the place you live may be where you most want to get your hands busy this week.

Love: If you have a partner, ask what they think before moving furniture or redecorating. It's much easier than doing it all and telling them afterward. If you're single, arranging your room the way you like it makes for a great weekend.

Money: If you invest, don't rush to add more this week. First confirm what your current funds are for. If you don't invest and want to replace appliances or furniture, compare prices and work out a budget before deciding whether to order.

Gemini: Typing Messages Fast and Accidentally Agreeing to Too Much

Mars and Jupiter are in your third house, so this week you may be extra talkative, full of ideas, and eager to be out and about.

Love: If you have a partner, when the chat is going well, remember to leave some room to listen to them too. If you're single, chances to chat may increase. A slow reply doesn't necessarily mean no interest, so give them a bit more time.

Money: If you invest, don't place orders just because everyone in the group chat is excited. If you don't invest, transportation and small purchases add up easily this week, and keeping a record will help more than you'd expect.

Cancer: Looking at Your Savings and Suddenly Wanting Another Income Stream

This meeting is in your second house, which relates to income, savings, and self-worth, so you may start seriously wondering, "Do I deserve more?"

Love: If you have a partner, you can use this week to talk about your spending habits as a couple, in a casual tone. If you're single, focus on taking care of yourself first, and open up to someone when the time feels right.

Money: If you invest, the more confident you feel, the more you should hold on to your stop-loss point. If you don't invest, start by figuring out how much you can save each month, and jot down side-income ideas to evaluate slowly.

Leo: Checking the Mirror Twice and Feeling You Can Do It

Mars and Jupiter are both in your sign, so this week you may feel full of confidence and want to step up and lead, or state your ideas clearly.

Love: If you have a partner, expressing your feelings openly is good, but also notice whether they can keep up with your pace. If you're single, your presence is stronger this week, so get out more if you want to meet new friends.

Money: If you invest, when you feel you're reading the market perfectly, try with a smaller amount first. If you don't invest, generous spending like treating people or giving gifts is fine as long as it's within your means.

Virgo: Calm on the Surface, but Already Planning Inside

This meeting is in your twelfth house, so it's more like quietly brewing inside. You may need more alone time than usual, or have more dreams.

Love: If you have a partner, when you need quiet, just say "I want some time to myself." That's easier to understand than suddenly going silent. If you're single, you can simply observe the person on your mind and don't need to rush into action.

Money: If you invest, this week suits organizing your information and checking your holdings, and you don't have to make any new decisions. If you don't invest, check your automatic payments and subscriptions, and cancel the ones you're not using.

Libra: The Group Chat Suddenly Heats Up and Everyone Invites You to Do Something Together

Mars and Jupiter are in your eleventh house, so friends, social circles, and group activities increase, and someone may ask you to collaborate.

Love: If you have a partner, bring them along to a gathering with friends. If you're single, you're more likely to meet people through friends, so just chat casually.

Money: If you invest, just listen to the hot tips friends share, and do your own research before deciding. If you don't invest, group buys and meals out easily cost more this week, so decide in advance which ones you can skip.

Scorpio: The Boss Asks Who Will Take It On, and Your Hand Is Already Up

This meeting is in your tenth house, where work and goals are the focus. This week you may really want to prove yourself, or be handed a bigger task.

Love: If you have a partner, when work gets busy, remember to check in and let them know what you're busy with. If you're single, people you meet at work may be easier to talk to.

Money: If you invest, don't make big decisions while work pressure is high. If you don't invest, you can compile your recent efforts as a basis for salary talks later. The Sun is in your sign, so if you feel pushed along around Nov 18 and 19, remember to catch your breath first.

Sagittarius: Scrolling Flight Sites, Wanting to Go Somewhere You've Never Been

Mars and Jupiter are in your ninth house, so travel, learning, and faraway things especially attract you, and you may want to set off right away.

Love: If you have a partner, plan a small trip together, starting with a short weekend getaway. If you're single, you're likely to meet people you click with while taking classes, visiting exhibitions, or traveling.

Money: If you invest, read up on news from overseas markets first. If you don't invest and want to book flights or sign up for courses, confirm the refund policy before paying by card.

Capricorn: Digging Out Bills Late at Night and Wanting to Clear Up the Vague Stuff

This meeting is in your eighth house, which relates to shared finances, trust, and deep feelings. You may want to talk through some things that have been left unclear.

Love: If you have a partner, when discussing money or commitment, choose a time when you're both relaxed. If you're single, your read on people is especially sharp this week, so take it slow and don't rush to open up.

Money: If you invest, watch out for leverage and borrowing. The more confident you feel, the more carefully you should weigh the risks. If you don't invest but have insurance or a loan, use this week to ask about the terms clearly.

Aquarius: One Remark from Them and You Want to Fire Back Right Away

Mars and Jupiter are in your seventh house, so partners, collaborators, and one-on-one relationships get lively. You may click wonderfully, or have a lot of differing opinions.

Love: If you have a partner, pause for three seconds before saying what's on your mind. Sometimes passion and arguments are only one sentence apart. If you're single, more people may approach you. If you like someone, chat a few more times before deciding whether to move forward.

Money: If you invest, write down the division of work and the proportions before pooling money or partnering with someone. If you don't invest, if you cover costs for others this week, agree on when you'll be paid back.

Pisces: A To-Do List That Fills Two Whole Pages

This meeting is in your sixth house, where daily work and physical health are the focus. You may feel highly motivated and want to get everything done at once.

Love: If you have a partner, remember to set aside time for them after you finish being busy, and not just to eat together while scrolling your phones. If you're single, regular exercise or classes will give your life a rhythm and keep your mood steadier too.

Money: If you invest, this week suits reviewing your current allocation, and you don't have to add more. If you don't invest, for spending on health and exercise, buy what you need first and think about upgrading gear later.

The Leonid Meteor Shower: Viewing Times and When to Make a Wish

Coincidentally, in the same week that Mars and Jupiter meet, there's also the Leonid meteor shower in the sky. According to Taipei Astronomical Museum, the 2026 Leonids peak on Nov 18, with a zenithal hourly rate (ZHR) of about 15 meteors. The meteors are very fast, reaching about 71 kilometers per second, and occasionally leave bright trails. The museum also notes that, seen in the sky, Mars and Jupiter are closest on Nov 15. Astrologically, their exact conjunction is on the afternoon of Nov 16. The two dates are calculated differently, but both fall within this week. Over these few days, both planets appear near Leo in the second half of the night.

When to watch: The radiant rises in the east around midnight, and by then the Moon has set (around the peak it's near first quarter, setting a little before midnight). So the best time is the early hours of Nov 18, which means staying up past midnight on the night of Nov 17 until just before dawn. The closer to morning, the more meteors you'll see. The night of Nov 18 into the early hours of Nov 19 is also still worth watching.

Where to look: Meteors appear across the whole sky, so you don't need to keep staring at the radiant. Find a place with little light pollution and a wide view, lie down, and look at the sky between the east and overhead. You can see them with the naked eye. In the city you'll see far fewer, so even a few is great. Check the weather before heading out, and dress warmly.

How to make a wish: If you like making wishes on meteors, think of your wish before heading out and boil it down to one short sentence. When a meteor streaks by, just repeat it silently once. Making a wish is more like helping yourself sort out what you want, and whether it comes true still depends on how you take it step by step afterward. If the weather is bad that day or you can't get up, writing your wish on paper and keeping it safe carries the same intention.

3 Things Everyone Can Do This Week

• When a new plan comes to mind, write it down, then look at it again after Nov 19. If you still want to do it, start.
• Around Nov 18 and 19, agree to fewer last-minute requests. Saying "let me think about it and get back to you" is perfectly fine.
• Pick a clear early morning to watch the meteor shower, and give yourself a reason to put down your phone earlier.

What do you most want to do this week? Write it down in one sentence, and it will be ready as your wish on the night you watch the meteors.
