November begins with an invitation to draw closer to yourself. With Venus and Mercury continuing their retrogrades, this week offers space to listen beneath familiar thoughts and everyday noise. To notice what your heart has been holding, what your body remembers, and what is quietly asking for your attention.
There is room for joy here, alongside deeper understanding. Room to rediscover the parts of yourself that feel alive, and to meet the parts you have struggled to reach.
November 1, 2026: Venus Sextile Nodes
The week opens with retrograde Venus forming a sextile with the lunar Nodes. Through the lens of Venus’s inward journey, this meeting offers a moment to reflect on the connections, desires, and understandings of worth that accompany you through life.
There may be something familiar asking to be seen differently. A way of relating that once offered safety. A longing you have repeatedly set aside. A version of harmony that has required too much distance from yourself.
This is a gentle opportunity to notice what you are ready to carry forward, and what you are beginning to outgrow. Which relationships allow you to feel more present within yourself? Where does connection make room for your truth?
Let these questions remain open. As Venus retraces her steps, looking back can reveal something meaningful about the direction your heart is asking to take.
November 4, 2026: Venus Sextile Jupiter
On November 4, Venus, retrograde in Libra, forms a sextile with Jupiter in Leo. Their meeting brings opportunity and inspiration into the quieter work of reflection.
Venus in Libra has been drawing our attention towards relationship and the balance we experience within ourselves. Jupiter in Leo opens space around desire, creativity, and the freedom to express who we are. Together, they offer support for reconnecting with what brings us pleasure, what moves us, and what allows our hearts to feel expansive.
You may notice a wish to create again. To spend time with something beautiful. To follow an inspiration simply because of how it feels within you. These moments can bring you closer to a sense of worth that becomes easier to feel as you allow yourself this enjoyment.
This meeting also touches the vulnerability of expression. What happens inside you when another person sees your joy? When you share something you have created, or allow a desire to become visible?
There is space this week to approach that vulnerability with care. To explore how safety feels in your body as you let more of yourself be expressed. Beauty and creativity can become ways of reconnecting with your heart, and with the aliveness already moving through it.
November 4, 2026: Mercury Retrograde Cazimi in Scorpio
Also on November 4, retrograde Mercury meets the Sun in Scorpio. This conjunction, known as an inferior cazimi, brings illumination into Mercury’s ongoing journey through our inner world.
As Mercury moves backwards through Scorpio, it asks us to reconsider the deeper influences behind our thoughts and perceptions. The stories we repeat may have roots beneath everyday awareness. Emotional experiences, memories held in the body, and familiar psychological patterns may all be shaping how we understand ourselves.
The Sun’s presence brings light into these places. Something previously difficult to name may become clearer. A feeling may reveal the story attached to it. A recurring thought may lead you towards the fear or longing beneath it.
This is an intimate kind of awareness. One that asks us to stay close to our experience and listen with honesty. What becomes possible when your mind makes room for what your body has been communicating?
Allow whatever emerges to be met with gentleness. These inner patterns are asking for understanding, and perhaps for a more truthful way of being held. As intuition deepens, there may be an opportunity to recognise yourself beyond an old explanation of who you are.
Weekly Astrology 1 – 7 November, 2026
With both Venus and Mercury moving through retrograde, the week invites a more receptive rhythm. A little more quiet. Enough space to notice the wishes, hurts, and feelings that can disappear beneath the demands of daily life.
Consider what helps you feel connected to your own vitality. What draws you towards beauty or opens space for expression? Let yourself spend time there. Notice how your relationship with joy changes when you give it your attention.
Then listen for what wants to be understood more deeply. Where have protective walls also made it difficult to know yourself? Which feelings are ready to be acknowledged?
This week offers space to welcome more of yourself into awareness. The part that wants to create. The part that longs for connection. The part still waiting to be received with tenderness. Each belongs within the relationship you are rebuilding with yourself.

Aries Rising
This week asks you to listen to the places within you that are still learning to feel safe. Notice what happens when your heart wants to open, when joy begins to rise, or when someone comes closer. There may be fears here asking for your tenderness, and old hurts ready to receive your acceptance. Give yourself permission to move gently. The walls that once protected you can soften at your own pace. Each moment of meeting yourself with care offers another opportunity to trust the safety of your own presence.
Taurus Rising
Your relationships offer a space for deeper understanding this week. Pay attention to the stories that surface when you reach towards someone, receive affection, or feel the impulse to withdraw. What do these moments reveal about the ways you have learned to protect yourself? There is an opportunity to meet those protections with compassion and consider whether they still feel necessary. As something becomes clearer, allow yourself time to feel it. A more honest connection with another begins with making room for the feelings moving quietly beneath your familiar responses.
Gemini Rising
This week brings your attention to the beliefs that shape your sense of worth. Listen for the voices that ask you to keep producing, helping, or giving before you can feel deserving. Some may be so familiar that you have mistaken them for your own truth. There is space now to question what they ask of you. Notice your body’s pace, the energy available to you, and the desires that get overlooked when usefulness comes first. Let these become part of the conversation as you reconsider what worthiness means.
Cancer Rising
There is an opening this week to explore how safe it feels to be yourself. To express a desire, share your creativity, or let another person witness your happiness. Notice any stories suggesting that joy must be earned, or that being visible requires you to hide something true. These patterns are asking for your attention and care. As you recognise them, make room for the feelings beneath them. Your body may be ready to experience a gentler relationship with expression, one in which enjoyment and a sense of worth can exist together.
Leo Rising
Your attention is being drawn towards the younger parts of yourself this week. The feelings that went unanswered, the wishes that had little room, and the family stories that continue to influence how you understand your experience. Allow yourself to approach this material slowly. Something within you may be ready to speak now that you have space to listen. Notice what feels familiar in your body, and what that familiarity reveals. There is more of yourself available to know here, including parts you are ready to welcome with greater tenderness.
Virgo Rising
This week offers a closer look at the thoughts through which you understand yourself. Notice the language of your inner conversations, especially when fear or longing is present. What sits beneath a familiar conclusion? What feeling has been shaping a perspective you rarely question? As Mercury meets the Sun, there may be space to recognise these connections more clearly. Let understanding develop through listening to your body as well as your mind. An old story can begin to loosen when the deeper experience behind it finally receives your attention.
Libra Rising
You may feel yourself moving between familiar ways of being and something you cannot yet fully name. This week gives you space to notice which stories about identity and safety are beginning to loosen. Feelings held in your body may also be asking for care, including shame absorbed from others or fears you have carried for a long time. Allow your understanding of yourself to change as these layers become clearer. Your desires, your direction, and the person you wish to become can have room to take a different shape.
Scorpio Rising
Your relationship with yourself is opening to revision this week. Notice where an old description of who you are has begun to feel too narrow, or where something within you wants more space than you have allowed it. As Mercury meets the Sun in your sign, you may recognise thoughts and feelings that reveal how much is changing beneath the surface. Give yourself permission to reconsider familiar identities. What feels honest now? What feels alive? Let your answers develop slowly as you make room for a fuller understanding of yourself.
Sagittarius Rising
Quiet may offer something meaningful this week. Space away from activity and outside voices can help you hear what has been moving within you, especially around belonging and the direction of your life. Notice the hopes that still carry warmth, the fears asking for reassurance, and the stories that no longer describe your experience. You may feel something rearranging before you understand what it means. Allow that process its own rhythm. Your heart has more to share when you give it room, and your longings deserve to be heard fully.
Capricorn Rising
This week invites you to reconsider your future through a closer relationship with yourself. Spend time with the hopes you carry and notice which ones still feel meaningful. Some may hold a desire that remains alive; others may reflect a version of yourself you are beginning to leave behind. Give your fears a place in this reflection, too. They may reveal something about what matters to you. Allow a vision to loosen when it loses its truth, even if the space it leaves has yet to offer another clear direction.
Aquarius Rising
Your ability to guide your own life comes into focus this week. Listen for the moments when doubt takes over, especially when memories of past mistakes shape how much you trust yourself now. There is an opportunity to meet those memories with greater kindness and to recognise that learning continues alongside responsibility. What would it feel like to offer yourself forgiveness while you are still finding your way? Let your relationship with leadership begin here, in the way you respond to your own uncertainty and care for yourself through it.
Pisces Rising
Give your mind some breathing room this week. You may begin to notice where other people’s perspectives, feelings, or beliefs have become so present that your own are difficult to hear. Allow yourself time to sense what belongs to your experience. What do you feel when outside voices grow quieter? What captures your interest, and what understanding begins to form when you stay with it? There is space for your perspective to emerge gradually. Listen without rushing to define it, and let inspiration draw you towards a clearer relationship with yourself.
