November 2026 Horoscope Ranking: 5 Lucky Signs, With Gemini in the Lead
The retrograde wave fades by mid-month, and a full moon and a Mars sign change close things out. Here's who has the smoothest month and which days to make your move.
November's sky: Scorpio season and the end of the retrograde wave
For the first three weeks of November, the Sun is still in Scorpio, and the Scorpio season mood makes people want to see things clearly and figure out where their relationships stand. Mercury turns direct in Scorpio on 11/13, and Venus turns direct in Libra the next day, 11/14. The retrograde wave that carried over from October starts to wind down, so stalled messages and postponed dates are more likely to move forward again.
Saturn and Neptune, however, are still retrograde in Aries until December, so long-term plans still call for patience. Watch for three shifts at the end of the month: the Sun enters Sagittarius on 11/22, there's a full moon in Gemini on the evening of 11/24, and Mars moves into Virgo on 11/26. The ranking below is a general guide for your Sun or rising sign based on these events.
November's top five
No. 1: Gemini
Overall: The full moon on the evening of 11/24 falls right in Gemini, like an end-of-month showcase where the effort you've been putting in finally gets noticed. Once the retrograde wave passes mid-month, delayed contacts and collaborations start to reconnect.
Work: A good time to wrap up results and report progress. Pitches or interviews around the end of the month are more likely to get a clear answer. Money: Your real cash flow becomes easier to see, so it's a good time to reconcile accounts and cancel subscriptions you don't use. Love: The full moon makes feelings hard to hide. If you're in a will-they-won't-they situation, it's a good time to say what you mean. If you're in a relationship, try not to bring overtime frustration home.
Lucky tip: On the night of the full moon, clean up your phone's photo gallery and LINE chats (LINE is the go-to messaging app in Taiwan). Delete old screenshots and keep only the people and plans you still want to pursue.
No. 2: Sagittarius
Overall: The Sun enters Sagittarius on 11/22, officially kicking off Sagittarius season. Use the first three weeks for quiet preparation. In the last week you'll feel noticeably livelier and more willing to speak up about what you want.
Work: The end of the month suits launching new plans, signing up for courses, or scheduling business trips. Tie up loose ends in the first half of the month so old tasks don't drag down new projects. Money: Spending tends to follow your mood, so set a budget before weekend trips and dinners out. Love: Birthday-month charm works in your favor, and singles are more likely to meet someone easy to talk to at gatherings or while traveling.
Lucky tip: Plan a half-day trip for the weekend of 11/22, even if it's just taking a train to a small town you've never visited for lunch.
No. 3: Libra
Overall: Venus, Libra's ruling planet, went retrograde in early October and turns direct in Libra on 11/14. The hesitation you've felt about people and money starts to find answers after mid-month.
Work: Push partnerships and negotiations after 11/14, when the other side is more likely to soften. Money: Take a second look at anything you wanted to buy during the retrograde. If you still want it after mid-month, go ahead, and you'll find far fewer impulse buys in your cart. Love: Old friends and past relationships are more likely to reappear. Whether to start again is up to you, at your own pace.
Lucky tip: After Venus turns direct, spend a day sorting your closet. Recycle or resell anything you haven't worn in six months to make room for what you really love.
No. 4: Virgo
Overall: Since late October, none of the planets from the Sun to Pluto has been in an earth sign, so Virgo may have felt that nothing goes according to plan. Mars enters Virgo on 11/26, the first planet back in earth, and your sense of control clearly returns at the end of the month.
Work: Your drive picks up in the final week, making it a good time to clear long-delayed to-dos and start projects that need stamina. Money: Organize your expense records, reimbursements, and receipts, and the end-of-month accounting will go much more smoothly. Love: Mars gives you the courage to make the first move. Ask out the person you've been thinking about, just watch that you don't come across as too picky.
Lucky tip: After 11/26, pick a few days to get up half an hour early and take a walk or work out before heading to work, putting that Mars drive into your body.
No. 5: Aries
Overall: Jupiter and Mars are both in Leo, a fellow fire sign, which gives Aries a tailwind. You'll bring plenty of heat to what you do and find support more easily. Saturn and Neptune, though, are retrograde in Aries until December, so long-term goals may feel slow.
Work: You'll power through short-term tasks, while long-term plans are worth reviewing, with no need to lock anything in yet. Money: Entertainment and social spending run high, and it's safer to hold big purchases until December. Love: Speaking up tends to get a response. Plan active or outdoor dates, where you'll have more to talk about than at home on the couch.
Lucky tip: Break your long-term plans into one small step per week, add them to your phone calendar, and check each one off as you go.
Quick notes for the other seven signs
Taurus: Scorpio season sits in your opposite sign, so partners and collaborators have more opinions than usual. Hear them out before responding. Things get easier after Mars enters Virgo at the end of the month.
Cancer: Your mood settles noticeably after mid-month. Make time on weekends for hobbies you enjoy, and before spending on family, check that they really need it.
Leo: With Jupiter and Mars both in your sign, you're full of drive, but workplace conversations can flare up before mid-month. Read your LINE replies one more time before hitting send.
Scorpio: Scorpio season plus the 11/9 new moon in your sign make this a good time to reset your goals. After Mercury turns direct on 11/13, whatever confused you early in the month becomes clearer.
Capricorn: Social invitations pile up, so just go to the ones you really want to attend. With Saturn retrograde until December, handle family or long-term matters gradually rather than all at once.
Aquarius: You have more chances to be noticed at work, but also more tasks landing on your desk. Confirm timelines before taking on anything new so you're not working late every night.
Pisces: A good month for learning something new or planning a short trip. Read the details carefully when handling contracts or payments, and ask if anything is unclear.
How to plan the month
The first half of November is still the tail end of the retrograde wave, which suits organizing, reviewing, and filling in missing information. After 11/13 and 11/14, you can feel more comfortable moving ahead with contracts, big purchases like a new phone, and important conversations. Mercury doesn't leave its shadow period until around 11/30, so still double-check important documents.
Sagittarius season, the Gemini full moon, and Mars entering Virgo all arrive at the end of the month, so schedule any new plans for the final week and let the ideas you gathered earlier take shape then.
