Momentum returns this week of November 15 to 21, 2026, as Mercury and Venus end their retrograde cycles, but astrologers warn that a fiery meeting between Mars and Jupiter in Leo on Monday, November 16, could push tempers and ambition past safe limits.
According to GMA Network, which published the weekly forecast by professional astrologer Monica Morales, the week starts hot and stays hot. Mars and Jupiter converge in Leo, a pairing Morales says brings renewed confidence and the drive to chase important goals, but also arrogance, impatience, and reckless decisions when pride takes the wheel.
What the stars are doing this week
The real tension arrives midweek. The Sun in Scorpio squares Jupiter on Wednesday, November 18, and then squares Mars on Friday, November 20. Scorpio and Leo are fixed signs, the stubborn ones, so disagreements could escalate quickly when neither side is willing to bend.
Morales also flags a warning tied to the South Node in Leo: old habits and familiar patterns may resurface, tempting people to repeat mistakes they thought they had left behind. Her advice is plain. Be patient. Be flexible. Do not sign anything in anger.
Other astrologers read the same sky. The Yoga Journal weekly horoscope frames the week as a question of discernment, of loosening attachments to what has been and creating space for what is emerging. The Girl and Her Moon astrology forecast describes the week as carrying heat, depth, and a powerful invitation into self-trust.
Your horoscope for November 15-21, 2026
Morales recommends reading the forecast for your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs. The Sun sign shows your main goals, the Moon sign reflects your private feelings, and the Rising sign points to what is happening in your daily life.

A creative project or personal passion brings promising opportunities if you manage your financial commitments well.
Taurus (April 20 to May 20)
A household or property matter can progress once expectations and responsibilities are clearly established.

An important presentation or negotiation works in your favor if you come prepared.
Cancer (June 21 to July 22)
A financial idea or opportunity to increase your income is worth exploring once you have assessed the costs.

How to survive a hot-tempered week
The pattern across the signs is consistent. Money, contracts, and shared responsibilities are the battlegrounds this week, and every forecast pairs an opportunity with a condition. Read the fine print. State the expectations out loud. That is sound advice under any sky, but especially under this one.
For Filipinos, this is also a week to keep cool in barangay disputes, business deals struck over merienda, and family conversations about property. Fixed-sign stubbornness does not care how polite the gathering started. The PureWow weekly horoscopes add a practical note worth repeating: watch your health midweek, as inflammation and respiratory issues are more likely, and balance the drive to make bold moves with genuine rest.
