The weekly astrology forecast for November 16 to 22, 2026 arrives with the most intense stretch of retrograde season behind it. Venus and Mercury are finally direct, and according to the forecast, life is beginning to move forward again. The week opens with the Moon in Aquarius, which the forecast says encourages people to show up for each other. More confidence is expected once the Pisces Moon rises on November 17, and the Aries Moon on November 20 is said to change the mindset of those who have been doubting their potential. Sagittarius season begins on November 22, preparing for new opportunities and the start of a new cycle.
For Aries, the Pisces Moon at the beginning of the week brings a flurry of activity and points toward the next direction for learning. At the end of the week, the Aries Moon awakens the drive to succeed, and the forecast describes Aries as about to feel unstoppable, though it also advises taking it easy and managing emotions. Aries is encouraged to complete the to-do list over the weekend and leave nothing pending as the Sun moves into Sagittarius on Sunday. Major news impacted the career zone around the Scorpio New Moon last Monday, and this week the Aquarius Moon offers more details.
Taurus can expect the Pisces Moon to bring more love into life, with a more social feeling starting Tuesday. Midweek is a time to connect with like-minded people, and current love stories are described as blissful compared with old ones that are finally concluding. The Aries Moon at the end of the week serves as a reminder to rest and take time for oneself as the Sun enters Sagittarius over the weekend.
Gemini may experience a desire to travel and expand horizons at the start of the week, with the Aquarius Moon facilitating these things, and any paperwork or booking delays caused by Mercury retrograde are said to change this week. The Pisces Moon begins a few days of honesty and transparency midweek, bringing more awareness of changes needed at home and in career. The forecast cautions Gemini not to overwhelm themselves and to be mindful of energy levels.
For Cancer, Saturn in Aries is slowing things down, though Monday's Moon in Aquarius is described as great for planning ahead with more purpose and direction. Once the Moon is in Pisces on Tuesday, it acts as a nice reset that makes it easier to consider one's own needs and be more patient. While facing some of Saturn's obstacles, the Moon joining Saturn in Aries on Friday is a reminder that compassion can establish better relationships moving forward.
Leo receives new ideas from the Moon in Aquarius on Monday, with old friendships likely to be rekindled and new collaborations forming. The Pisces Moon's healing energy reminds Leo of clues from the past that can help with present issues, and it is also a lesson on releasing and focusing on moving on. Over the weekend, with the Moon in Aries, Leo is encouraged to work with others, share new ideas, write thoughts down, and expand creative energy.
Virgo connects with their talents under the Aquarius Moon on Monday, and the forecast suggests hidden talents may also be discovered. Hobbies that bring joy should be prioritized, especially once the Moon is in Pisces midweek, which brings more ideas. Confidence builds this week, and friends are described as a good source of inspiration. The Aries lunation will show Virgo how to control emotions or be more aware of their impact, with the mission of thinking before speaking to avoid conflict.
Libra should prepare for confidence levels to rise during the Aquarius Moon on Monday, and the lessons of Venus retrograde are about to become clearer. Starting Tuesday, the Moon in Pisces brings Libra closer to friends and mentors, and expanding circles midweek opens the way to more opportunities. At the end of the week, the Aries Moon makes Libra more willing to compromise in order to strengthen relationships, while Saturn in Aries teaches maturity and understanding alongside independence.
For Scorpio, last week's dramatic New Moon in the sign may be over, but the Aquarius Moon at the start of this week puts Scorpio ahead of the competition. Sharp detective skills can be used to solve problems and dig up hidden truths, according to the forecast.
