This week, Mercury and Venus both turn direct. Hallelujah! 🙏🏼🎉 A powerful New Moon in Scorpio arrives. And the Universe treats us to a verrrrry long Opportunity Period!
To make the most of this week:
-
This entire week, be prepared for potential technology glitches, appointment snafus, and communication issues. Mercury is moving very slowly in the skies, preparing to turn direct on Nov. 13. Give yourself plenty of time to get to important appointments, and keep your cool.
- On Monday, set your intentions on the New Moon in Scorpio. It's a particularly good one if you feel disempowered or would like to invite transformational change into your life.
- Take advantage of an Opportunity Period from Tuesday evening into early Thursday morning! It's a long one (details below 👇🏼).
- On Friday, breathe a big sigh of relief - both Mercury and Venus turn direct today, Nov. 13.
- Sunday would be fantastic for work and career, but it's the weekend... Still, if you're a business owner, you probably do some work on weekends anyway ☹️ So take advantage of the Mars-Jupiter conjunction! It will help you move forward with anything that was stalled or frustratingly glitchy during Mercury Rx.
New Moon in Scorpio: Nov. 9, 2026 at 2:02 a.m. EST.
Every New Moon is a time to set intentions to bring what you desire into your life. Maybe we’re just focusing our minds on our goals, and it’s all neuroscience. Or maybe...just maybe...there is a sprinkling of magic to the New Moon 😉. Either way, what do you stand to lose? Set your intentions!
When the Sun and the Moon come together in Scorpio, ask the Universe to help you connect with your superpower (we all have at least one!), to invite more passion into your life, and to help you get unstuck if you need to.
It's also a great New Moon to ask for increased mental and physical resilience - we all need it in today's world, that's for sure.
The intention-setting window lasts until 6:25 p.m., when the Moon goes void of course. Read more here.
Opportunity Period:
If you're new to them, think of an Opportunity Period as electional astrology lite. If you don't have the knowledge, time or energy to construct a full electional chart to find the best date and time to start something important, do it during an Opportunity Period.
It's not as precise as an electional chart, but it'll help.
November 10, 8:48 p.m. to November 12, 6:29 a.m. EST:
Venus and Mercury will still be retrograde, so this Opportunity Period is good for your existing projects, rather than starting new things. It's particularly auspicious for reviewing or revising a manuscript you're preparing for publication. (Waxing Moon in Sagittarius sextile Venus and trine Mars and Jupiter).
Best for:
✅ Reviewing or revising a manuscript you’re preparing for publication
✅ Returning to a course, writing project or creative pursuit you’ve put aside
✅ Reworking an existing presentation, workshop or teaching resource
✅ Reconnecting with a mentor, collaborator or someone you’ve enjoyed working with
✅ Revisiting a long-term goal and deciding on your next practical steps
Avoid:
Because Venus and Mercury are retrograde, there are a few things this Opportunity Period is NOT good for:
⚠️ First dates
⚠️ Big financial decisions
⚠️ Buying electronics, appliances or vehicles
⚠️ Signing a contract
⚠️ Starting an e-commerce business
🕰️ Moon Void of Course
Here is a quick summary of this week's void-of-course times. Avoid starting anything new that you want to succeed during these periods:
- Nov. 9, 6:25 p.m. to Nov. 10, 3:36 a.m. EST
- Nov. 12, 6:29 a.m. to 3:27 p.m. EST
- Nov. 14, 1:56 p.m. to Nov. 15, 4:24 a.m. EST
