Here is the Psychic Scoop Weekly Astrology Forecast for the week of Nov 8, 2026 – Nov 14, 2026:
We’ve got a lot going on this week, with a New Moon in Scorpio, two planets (Mercury and Venus) going stationary direct, and a Mars / Jupiter / South Node conjunction in Leo.
Starting on Sunday, there’s a Balsamic Moon in Scorpio that will square Pluto and conjunct Mercury before the day is through. The square to Pluto can be problematic: it can bring trust issues to the forefront and be paranoid or accusatory. It can also be confrontational. But the conjunction with Mercury, even though retrograde, can help to smooth some of that intense emotional energy out. Keep in mind that lunar transits are fleeting and ephemeral. They only last for a few hours at a time before moving on to their next aspect.
On Monday, we have a New Moon at 16° Scorpio 53, which reaches perfection at 7:02 am UT, or 2:02 am Eastern time.
As New Moons always represent new beginnings and opportunities to start anew, this one — in Scorpio — presents opportunities to explore deep personal connections with others. It also invites us to turn inward and evaluate the inner workings of our own psyches.
This also lends a perfect backdrop for the Northern Taurids meteor showers, which are at peak visibility this week, thanks to the New Moon’s diminished moonlight.
The Moon squares Mars and Jupiter later in the evening, before it moves into upbeat, affable, gregarious Sagittarius on Tuesday. There’s also a nice Venus-Mars sextile on Tuesday, with Venus retrograde in her own sign, and Mars conjunct Jupiter in Leo.
This aspect brings love and romance to the forefront. It’s cooperative and collaborative, and is good for going with the flow and staying in sync with your loved ones. It’s good for attracting new people into your life and for working in harmony rather than putting up resistance. Keep in mind, though, that because Venus is retrograde, relationships that begin under this transit may not last. And especially because it is retrograde, it can indicate a desire to reconnect with someone from your past.
Jupiter conjuncts the Moon’s South Node on Wednesday, simultaneously opposing the Moon’s North Node. The Lunar Nodes are karmic in nature and can act as catalysts for change. Because we are dealing with the Leo / Aquarius polarity, this transit seeks to create balance between our desire to express our own unique identities and our humanitarian interests.
The Nodes are often linked to repetitive patterns, and Jupiter is tied to progress and change. So it’s going to be important to release what is no longer working for you (South Node) to make room for something new (North Node). The last time this occurred in Leo / Aquarius was 36 years ago (in 1990), a time when humanitarian efforts were making a huge global impact.
The Moon moves into Capricorn on Thursday, bringing in some much-needed Earth sign energy. Aside from the 2- and 3-day periods a few times each month when the Moon moves into Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn), we’ve had no Earth sign energy since September 24th, when the Sun left Virgo. And even though the Moon is said to be debilitated in Capricorn (the sign of its detriment), there are some beautiful sentiments associated with this archetype. Qualities like emotional maturity, simplicity, and stoicism.
As the sole emissary for Earth sign energy, the Capricorn Moon can be looked to for wisdom, guidance, and emotional discretion over the next few days. In general, the Capricorn Moon is soulful and wise. It can help you to stay grounded and to get your priorities in order.
On Friday, Mercury goes stationary direct at 5° Scorpio 04′. It will take another 2.5 weeks before it fully crosses its shadow point (the degree at which it went retrograde, on October 24th, at 20° Scorpio 56′). That happens on November 30th. In the meantime, you should start to see all things related to communications, ideas, scheduling, planning, and communication devices, such as televisions, phones, computers, etc., start behaving properly again.
After having been retrograde for the past few weeks, this change in direction can be a welcome relief. Because it’s in Scorpio, the sign associated with psychology and deep, penetrating insights, it invites us to take what we’ve learned about what makes people tick and use it to gain a better understanding of ourselves.
Mercury in Scorpio is big on deep thoughts and penetrating insights, and not so big on idle chit-chat. And while it is generally reflective and introspective rather than overtly expressive, it’s not necessarily the time to keep these ideas to yourself. You’re likely to have uncovered a lot of important truths about yourself and others during the retrograde period, so if you have something to share,be willing to you share it.
Within hours of Mercury going direct, Venus follows suit on Saturday. Venus is at home in its own sign, where it will spend the next two weeks before it moves back into Scorpio. Then it will be another 12 days (until December 16th) before it crosses its shadow point — the degree at which it first went retrograde (at 8° Scorpio).
With Venus moving forward again, you might start to notice a shift in energy related to all things Venusian — especially love and romance. Relationships that started during this period — as well as romantic attractions that were sparked — will be seen in a whole new light.
As Venus moves forward, you may be asking yourself whether your relationships will do the same. During the retrograde cycle, you may have been tying up loose ends in a relationship that was on its last legs, or you may have been compelled to reach out and reconnect with a lover from your past. But now you’re moving your energy away from the past and back toward the present and future. You’ll be thinking about which direction you want to take your relationships from this point forward as well.
Where does Venus fall in your natal chart and what houses does it rule? (You may need to speak with an astrologer if you’re unsure about that). Venus rules two signs — Taurus and Libra — and its change in direction will activate the houses with these signs on the cusp. This will add another dimension to the impact of this transit and how it will affect you personally.
That’s it for this week. See you next week!
