Nov 9 – Nov 15, 2026

Aries This Week: Introspection Fuels Renewal

Aries, this week calls for a powerful blend of deep introspection and strategic re-envisioning, as significant cosmic energies direct your focus inward before pushing you forward. The week begins with a potent New Moon in Scorpio on Monday, amplified by Mercury retrograde in the same sign. This combination illuminates your sector of shared resources, intimacy, and psychological transformation, urging you to dig deep and re-evaluate foundational aspects of your life. It’s a time for uncovering hidden truths and understanding the underlying dynamics of your connections.

Midweek brings a powerful boost as Mars, your ruling planet, conjuncts expansive Jupiter. This aspect infuses you with a surge of optimism, confidence, and a desire for growth, even amidst the ongoing retrogrades. While immediate action might be slowed by Mercury and Venus retrogrades, this is an excellent period for strategic planning, envisioning ambitious future projects, and connecting with your higher purpose. The persistent influence of Saturn retrograde conjunct your Sun continues to demand a disciplined review of your identity and long-term goals. By the weekend, you’ll be integrating these insights, ready to apply a more mature and well-considered approach to your aspirations.

That’s the sky every Aries shares. Your Moon, rising and the houses it lights up make it yours — get your personalized reading.

This week’s sky for Aries

The November 9 New Moon in your 8th house resets joint finances while Mercury is retrograde there and Venus is retrograde in your 7th house of partnerships. Clarity returns when both planets turn direct on November 13. Sit down with a partner mid-week to list out shared liabilities and align on financial terms.

  • New Moon in Scorpio · Nov 9

    A clean emotional slate opens in your 8th house, offering you a fresh approach to debts, joint finances, and deep emotional ties. Because Mercury is retrograde in your 8th house, hold off on signing a new loan or merging funds. Use this New Moon to redefine boundaries around shared obligations instead. Pull up your recent bank statements and audit your recurring shared subscriptions together.

  • Mercury Direct · Nov 13

    Financial logjams and awkward conversations about shared money finally begin to untangle as Mercury turns direct in your 8th house. Stalled paperwork, loan applications, or misunderstandings over joint commitments move forward again after weeks of second-guessing since October 24. As Venus also turns direct in your 7th house, discussions with partners find steady ground. Log into your accounts and settle that disputed bill together.

  • Venus Direct · Nov 13

    Stalled relationship dynamics finally regain forward momentum as Venus turns direct in your 7th house of partnerships. The second-guessing and unresolved emotional negotiations that lingered since October begin clearing away today. Now that Venus pivots forward, reach out to your partner or an important collaborator to settle a lingering disagreement and agree on a concrete next step together.

From the guide to the week of November 9

Week of November 16 for Aries

About Aries

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and it shows in everything they do: this is the cosmic pioneer, the one who charges ahead while others are still deliberating. Ruled by Mars, the planet of drive and assertion, Aries approaches life as a series of challenges to be met head-on. They are direct, courageous, and refreshingly honest — what you see is genuinely what you get. An Aries thrives on momentum and fresh starts; routine and waiting are their natural enemies. Their enthusiasm is contagious and they make natural leaders, happy to take the first step into untested territory. The flip side of all that fire is impatience and a quick temper that flares and fades just as fast. At their best, Aries channels raw energy into bold, decisive action that inspires everyone around them.

Aries in Love

In love, Aries is passionate, spontaneous, and bold — the one most likely to make the first move. They pursue what they want openly and need a partner who can match their intensity and keep pace with their need for excitement. Aries values honesty and independence in a relationship and quickly loses interest in games or stagnation. Once committed, they are fiercely loyal and protective.

Aries in Career

Aries excels wherever initiative and decisiveness are rewarded: entrepreneurship, sales, sports, emergency response, and any role where they can lead from the front. They are at their best launching new projects and tend to chafe under micromanagement or slow-moving bureaucracy. A competitive environment with clear goals keeps an Aries motivated and performing at their peak.

Aries and Health

Aries carries high physical energy that needs a regular outlet — intense exercise, competition, or sport keeps both body and mood balanced. The head and face are the Aries-ruled zones, so they benefit from stress management and guarding against tension headaches. Their main wellness lesson is pacing: building in rest before they burn out.

  • Aries & Leo — Two fire signs who share a love of adventure, passion, and bold living.

  • Aries & Gemini — Gemini's curiosity and wit keep restless Aries endlessly engaged.
