Aries Monthly Horoscope

Surface-level moves won’t cut it this November, not while the Scorpio Sun submerges in your investigative, seductive eighth house until November 22. Dig until you strike gold. With Mercury retrograde in Scorpio and backspinning Venus slinking through Libra—both until the 13th—this is a month of profound transformation. Patience will be required, but stay the course through difficult interactions. 

On the 9th, the Scorpio new moon reboots desire and sex appeal and could bring a relationship milestone. (Venus retrograde, be damned!) Mars, your ruler, is in fiery Leo until the 25th, keeping interactions warm and spontaneous. Don’t fan any flames that could lead to a dumpster fire, like, say, trying to be “friends” with a toxic ex only to wind up in bed. (Again.) Coupled Aries may need to renegotiate some relationship rules, but wait until after Venus turns direct on the 13th to hammer anything out. 

Sagittarius season begins November 22, delivering a fierce wave of wanderlust. Between now and December 1, you’ll want to travel, speak your truth and rush ahead into the next epic odyssey. Temper those urges for a couple days! After Mercury turns direct on the 13th, the coast will be clear(er) to book a flight or publish your tell-all post. 

Kindred spirits pop up with the full supermoon in Gemini on the 24th, bringing a buzzy rush to your social life. Even better? A healthy, wealthy holiday season is in store as your ruler, Mars, parks in Virgo on November 25 for the rest of the year. Roll up your sleeves so you can finish the year strong.

Pull back a little, Aries. For the first three weeks of the month the Sun is in Scorpio and your eighth house of intimacy, privacy and shared resources. You could slip off the grid easily now, perhaps with an all-consuming project or to tend to your ties.

Whatever (or whoever) has your attention will require that you stay in “focus mode.” Scorpio season is a favorable time each year for a Ram to do some deep, inner work. Your on-the-go sign doesn't always slow down to do that. But with measured Saturn and imaginative Neptune both in Aries this year, the benefits of a reflective month are many! 

And with Venus and Mercury retrograde, a little downtime can help you process emotions and experiences that have been building up this year. The stress-relieving benefits are also worth it! You DO have time for this, Aries! It’s temporary anyway: you’ll want to leave the cocoon on November 22 once the Sun reports for duty in Sagittarius and your adventurous ninth house. Until then, get into a meditation or journaling practice, take walks or do whatever helps keep the energy cycling through you. 

The eighth house is the most connective and erotic zone of the chart, and November could serve up sizzling and seductive moments. Joint business ventures could also be up for review, since the eighth house rules “other people’s money.” With Mercury retrograde ending on the 13th, just watch the “retroshade” for the rest of the month—your interactions can still be prickly. From whittling down debt to investing to making your money work harder for you, ‘tis the season to get your budget balanced, especially before the holidays fully kick in. 

Venus retrograde or not, the urge to merge, whether for business or romance, will be strong at the November 9 Scorpio new moon. This fresh-start lunation beams into your eighth house of intimacy, privacy and shared resources, setting off a six-month growth cycle. 

An opportunity to join forces with a fellow powerhouse could arrive at this new moon. Are you feeling the chemistry? Revel in the magic, but don’t force the connection. Allow things to progress in due time. This new moon will fully unfold between now and 2027's TWO rare, back-to-back Scorpio full moons, on April 20 and May 20. 

For longtime couples, the new moon could spark talk of an engagement, pregnancy or merging your lives in another significant way. In business, take your time (not always easy for you!) to let a bond develop. Got a contract to sign? We recommend waiting until Mercury and Venus are both direct on November 13 before making firm decisions or signing anything you can’t reverse.

Mercury and Venus both end their retrogrades on November 13, clearing the way after weeks of mixed signals and relationship turbulence. Mercury powers forward in Scorpio (and your intimate eighth house) while Venus advances in Libra (and your seventh house of partnership).

Mercury’s backspin since October 24 muddled communication. Now, crossed wires slowly untangle and cutthroat dynamics can ease into healthy competition or even cooperation; Mercury reminds us that sharing resources beats hoarding them. Don’t drop your guard completely, though. If the retrograde helped expose someone’s lack of integrity, stop giving them the benefit of the doubt and move on. And keep reading the fine print on any agreements.

With Mercury direct in your cryptic eighth house, expect fewer mixed messages and more straight answers—especially around money, trust or a simmering attraction. A delicate topic you’ve been avoiding may suddenly feel easier to approach. Just don’t jump to conclusions about anyone’s motives. Mercury is still in Scorpio until December 6. Ask questions, listen closely and keep the conversation honest. The more transparent you are, the faster this relationship—or deal—can get back on stable ground.

Venus, meanwhile, is ready to make amends. Since October 3, the love planet’s retrograde tested hearts and libidos, made extra intense by its trip through two relationship-focused signs: seductive Scorpio, then marriage-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 November 13, the tide turns. Venus moves forward for the rest of the year, through committed Libra until December 4. Situations that felt like lost causes could get a do-over, and someone you’d written off might be worthy of a second chance.

If you've been out of sorts with your S.O. or another close person, extend an olive branch. One heartfelt conversation can get things back on track and chugging along.

Shake off the heaviness, Aries. Perspective returns starting November 22, when the Sun soars into Sagittarius and heats up your ninth house of travel, adventure and growth. Ah, now that’s more your speed! For the next month, go wide instead of deep. Explore all the enticing opportunities that pop up to stretch you beyond your comfort zone. You can narrow down your choices later. For now, the idea is to think (and dream) big! 

During Sagittarius season, you’re encouraged to venture beyond your usual circles. Stay curious and open, because new connections could bring friends, mentors, collaborators or even a business partner. As the zodiac’s entrepreneur and truth-teller, Sagittarius season can inspire you to launch a media project, share your message more widely and connect people in your network. (If anything needs to be said, you can finally have some honest conversations now that Mercury and Venus are direct.) A quick pre-holiday getaway could recharge you, or you can start planning a big adventure for 2027. Reach for the stars and stay optimistic!

One caution arrives a few days later, on November 25, when for the first time since the 1940s, the Sagittarius Sun faces off against unpredictable Uranus in curious Gemini and your third house of communication. While a Sun-Uranus opposition happens every year, it’s newly occurring between these two signs. Everyone’s nerves might feel extra jumpy under this cosmic tug-of-war. Steer clear of button-pushers and resist the urge to stir the pot yourself, Ram. Plans could flip in a heartbeat, so keep your schedule loose and your sense of humor intact. 

Trying to force a firm answer or a big decision? Instead, lean into Sagittarius’ free-spirited vibe and Gemini’s knack for flexibility. A last-minute twist could reveal an option you’d never have considered otherwise. Stay nimble and keep your mind open.

Go ahead and say it, Aries. On November 24, the stars hand you the megaphone as the year’s only Gemini full supermoon beams into your third house of communication. After tangling with Mercury retrograde’s tongue-tying typhoon this fall, you’ll find the perfect words to express what’s on your mind.

Supermoons arrive at a distance closer to earth, beaming us with more lunar energy 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). 

Translation? Get that wish list ready! The November full supermoon in curious Gemini urges you to speak your desires into existence. This full moon also forms a harmonious 120-degree trine to magnetic Pluto and joins forces with humanitarian Uranus, an ultra-rare configuration that gives your words the power to move people. Reach out to someone whose work inspires you, and stay open to help from unexpected places. 

Sharing bravely about your message could draw surprising support. Speak from the heart now, Aries. If you already have the ear of key decision makers, refine your thoughts and make your case with composure. News you’ve been waiting for may finally arrive. Got something to promote or an initiative to lead? Tap into your community. The Gemini full moon sets the stage for a mission-driven neighborhood event, a day of volunteering or a post that spreads the word about a worthy cause. Goodwill is always worth sharing, especially in a year that’s been tough for so many.

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 Aries, the plot thickens. In July, this unique trine between your third and eleventh houses shook up your social circles and cleared out the group chats that had run their course. Now, with Uranus retrograde in Gemini, the revolution moves inward, into how you think, talk and share your ideas. Are you still telling a story about yourself that stopped being true months ago? Retire that script.

An unexpected conversation, an offhand comment from a sibling or neighbor, or a 2 a.m. brainstorm could rewire your whole perspective. Meanwhile, transformational Pluto in Aquarius keeps reshaping your eleventh house of teams and tech. The crew you curated over the summer is ready for a mission. Could you launch a group project, a collective or a digital venture that puts your boldest vision into play? Think future-forward and maybe even a little outrageous. You don’t need permission from the old guard. Speak your truth, rally your people, and watch the future you’ve been daydreaming about start taking shape!
