Start Strong on Monday, Glide Into the Weekend: 12-Sign Weekly Horoscope for 11/9–11/15
"I've put this off for so long. This week, I really should get started." With the Scorpio New Moon on 11/9, then Mercury turning direct on 11/13 and Venus on 11/14, this week is great for starting things in the first half and pushing them forward in the second. Here are the overall, love, work and money reminders for all 12 signs.
This article covers Monday 11/9 to Sunday 11/15, 2026, with all times in Taiwan time. It's a light, everyday look at the stars, not a prediction, so enjoy it and feel free to see yourself in it.
What's Happening in the Sky This Week
"I've put this off for so long. This week, I really should get started." If you've been thinking this lately, the timing this week is just right. At 15:02 on Monday 11/9, the Scorpio New Moon arrives, a good moment to begin something. On 11/10, Venus and Mars form a sextile, so chatting, making plans and discussing collaborations all flow more easily.
On Friday 11/13 at 23:53, Mercury turns direct in Scorpio, and on Saturday 11/14 at 08:27, Venus turns direct in Libra. Messages, promises and decisions that got stuck over the past few weeks will gradually become easier to talk through. Meanwhile, Mars is moving toward Jupiter in Leo (the exact aspect lands next Monday, 11/16), so one idea after another will pop up. Overall, this week suits starting things in the first half and pushing forward in the second half, and big decisions can wait until after the weekend.
The readings below are based on your Sun sign. If you know your Rising sign, you can read that one too.
Aries: Tidy Up Early, Sprint Later
Overall: The New Moon falls in the area of your chart that governs shared resources and deep feelings, so this week is a good time to look clearly at the accounts, contracts or worries you've been leaving aside. Around the weekend, your urge to play and shine grows stronger, so plan something that makes you happy.
Love: If you're in a relationship, after Venus turns direct it's easier to finish the conversations you left half-said. Pick an evening when you're not in a rush. If you're single, weekend gatherings or events are a great place to meet new people in a relaxed way. Just see who you click with first.
Work: For anything involving collaboration, write down the division of tasks and the schedule in the first half of the week, and things will move much faster in the second half.
Money: If you invest, this is a good week to review your holdings and stop-loss points, with no need to rush into adding more. If you don't invest, sorting out shared expenses (rent, group meals, subscriptions) is a very practical step.
Taurus: The Words in Your Relationships Can Be Spoken This Week
Overall: The New Moon falls opposite your sign, in the area of partners and collaborators, so a lot of things this week involve "another person." There may also be a bit more going on at home, so leave some time to rest at home on the weekend.
Love: If you're in a relationship, you can voice the small things that have been on your mind in your usual tone, and after Mercury turns direct you're less likely to be misunderstood. If you're single, one-on-one invitations work better than group gatherings for sparking a connection, so ask someone you like out for coffee.
Work: Venus turning direct in the area that governs your daily work means you can reorganize the workflow that got messy recently. Start by fixing the step where you get stuck most often.
Money: If you invest, talk through any partnership or joint account matters before making a move. If you don't invest, list the expenses you definitely have to cover before year-end, and you'll feel more at ease.
Gemini: Start With Your Routine and Everything Follows
Overall: The New Moon falls in the area that governs daily routine and health, so this week is perfect for resetting one small habit, like a fixed bedtime or a twenty-minute walk every day.
Love: Venus turns direct in the area that governs romance and fun. If you're in a relationship, plan a date for just the two of you on the weekend and talk about what each of you has been busy with. If you're single, someone you've been flirting with may reply more eagerly. Just go with the flow without rushing to define anything.
Work: If your to-do list is long, pick the three most important items first. When communicating with colleagues, keep a written record of the key points, as it's easier to misremember things around Mercury's turn direct.
Money: If you invest, spend this week reading up on information and do less short-term trading. If you don't invest, review your fixed monthly expenses and cancel one or two services you don't use. That's a kind of raise for yourself, too.
Cancer: Put the Things That Make You Happy on Your Calendar
Overall: The New Moon falls in the area that governs happiness and creativity, so this week is a great time to start a hobby or pick up something you've set aside for a long time. Family matters will also be easier to discuss after Venus turns direct.
Love: If you're in a relationship, try doing something new together, like going to a restaurant you've never been to. If you're single, with someone you like, start by sharing a song or a photo. There's no need to say too much at once.
Work: Mars and Jupiter are approaching the area that governs your income. If there's a project or a raise you want to go for, first sum up your results in a few sentences, then bring it up when you're ready.
Money: If you invest, watch out for wanting to buy more just because you're in a good mood. Sticking to your original plan is steadier. If you don't invest, open a small account and put in a little each week, starting with a small amount.
Leo: With Home Settled, You Can Go Farther Outside
Overall: Both Mars and Jupiter are in your sign, so your drive is strong this week and you have lots you want to do. The New Moon falls in the area that governs family, so settle your living space and family matters first, and you'll feel more confident heading out into the world.
Love: If you're in a relationship, remember to leave a bit of time for your partner in the middle of your busyness. A simple "You worked hard today" is plenty. If you're single, your presence is very strong this week, and at gatherings people will naturally come to chat with you. Just keep it relaxed.
Work: If you want to lead a new project, this week is a great time to speak up, but find people to confirm the details with so you don't carry too much alone.
Money: If you invest, the stronger your drive, the more you need to set a limit. If you don't invest, you may easily treat others to save face this week, so set a dining-out budget for yourself first.
Virgo: Messages Flow Again, So Organize What You Want to Say First
Overall: The New Moon falls in the area that governs communication, learning and short trips, so this week is good for signing up for a class, starting a book, or replying to all the messages you've been putting off in one go.
Love: If you're in a relationship, write down what you want to say before you say it, and after Mercury turns direct your partner will be more receptive. If you're single, chat groups or occasions where friends make introductions give you a better chance of meeting someone you click with.
Work: Mars and Jupiter fall in the area that governs rest. When you have a lot on your plate, remember to leave some time to let your mind go blank, and don't fill your schedule completely before the weekend.
Money: Venus turns direct in the area that governs your income. If you invest, take another look at whether your allocation matches your own pace. If you don't invest, make a list of things you want to buy before year-end so you're less likely to order on impulse.
Libra: Venus Is Back on Track and Your Mood Loosens Up
Overall: Venus turns direct in your sign on 11/14, and the hesitation you've felt about yourself and your relationships will gradually find answers. The New Moon falls in the area that governs money, so this week is also a good time to rethink where your money should go.
Love: If you're in a relationship, the question you've been mulling over can be discussed more calmly this week. If you're single, take care of yourself first. Try a new haircut or tidy up your wardrobe, and when your mood lifts, invitations will follow.
Work: Mars and Jupiter fall in the area that governs friends and groups, so keep an eye out this week for teamwork or opportunities introduced by friends.
Money: If you invest, this week is a good time to write down the range of risk you can accept next year. If you don't invest, start by tracking your spending for a week and see where your money goes.
Scorpio: The New Moon Is in Your Sign, So Make a Start for Yourself
Overall: This week's New Moon is right in your sign, your once-a-year chance to reset for yourself. Pick the smallest thing first, whether it's a lifestyle habit you want to change or a plan you want to begin. Mercury also turns direct in your sign on 11/13, so your mind will feel much clearer.
Love: If you're in a relationship, this week is good for saying how you'd like to be together. Starting with "I hope" sounds less like a complaint. If you're single, first get clear on what kind of relationship you want, so you can recognize the right person when you meet them.
Work: Mars and Jupiter fall in the area that governs your career, so you have more chances to be noticed by your boss. Write up your plan from Monday to Wednesday, then present it in the second half of the week.
Money: If you invest, before Mercury turns direct (before Friday night), give important trades one more day before deciding. If you don't invest, set a "New Moon savings goal" for yourself. Keep the amount small so it's easier to stick to.
Sagittarius: Before Your Birthday Month, Get Enough Rest First
Overall: The New Moon falls in the area that governs rest and solitude, and Sagittarius season begins in two weeks, so this week is a great time to catch up on sleep and sort out what's been sitting in your mind.
Love: If you're in a relationship, quiet time together brings you closer than a lively schedule. If you're single, invitations from your friend circle increase after Venus turns direct, and someone may want to meet you through friends.
Work: Mars and Jupiter fall in the area that governs faraway places and learning. If a business trip, further study or cross-department opportunity comes up, you can ask around first.
Money: If you invest, there's no rush to make new decisions this week, so just observe. If you don't invest, set aside a small celebration fund before your birthday month so you can enjoy spending it later.
Capricorn: New Connections With Friends and at Work
Overall: The New Moon falls in the area that governs friends and groups, so this week is good for joining a new circle or reaching out to a friend you haven't seen in a long time. Venus turns direct in the area that governs your career, so relationships at work will also become easier to handle.
Love: If you're in a relationship, you can introduce your partner to your friends or attend a gathering together. If you're single, a friend of a friend is the person you're most likely to click with this week.
Work: Misunderstandings with your boss or clients are easier to clear up after Venus turns direct, so find a time to have a few words in person.
Money: Mars and Jupiter fall in the area that governs shared resources. If you invest, be careful not to follow someone else's recommendation and buy. If you don't invest, sort out the small amounts of money you've lent out or haven't collected yet.
Aquarius: Set a New Goal for Yourself at Work
Overall: The New Moon falls in the area that governs career and goals, so this week is a great time to write down one work goal for the rest of this year and next. Even a single sentence is enough.
Love: Mars and Jupiter fall opposite your sign, in the area of partners. If you're in a relationship, your partner may have a lot of ideas this week. Listen fully before responding, and you'll avoid a lot of friction. If you're single, one-on-one dates are more likely to make progress, so if someone asks you out, try saying yes.
Work: After Mercury turns direct, you can resubmit the proposal that got stuck. Remember to think through the questions the other side might ask first.
Money: If you invest, this week is good for checking your goals against your timeline. If you don't invest, you can first look into a money-management method you're curious about, and decide once you understand it.
Pisces: What You Want to Learn and Where You Want to Go, You Can Start This Week
Overall: The New Moon falls in the area that governs learning and faraway places, so this week is good for signing up for a course, planning a short trip, or starting to read about a field you've always wanted to understand.
Love: If you're in a relationship, after Venus turns direct, matters of money or dividing responsibilities are easier to discuss. If you're single, people you meet in classes, events or on trips will more easily find common topics with you.
Work: Mars and Jupiter fall in the area that governs your daily work, so you'll have more on your plate and more drive. Set your priorities first, and don't say yes to everything.
Money: If you invest, talk through any joint account or family funds before making a move. If you don't invest, this week you can set a budget for money you want to spend on things like tuition or travel.
