Filipinos who consult the stars have a busy week ahead: a New Moon in Scorpio opens the period on November 9, 2026, and both Mercury and Venus end their retrogrades on November 13 and 14, clearing the way for stalled plans to move again.
According to GMA Network, the week of November 9 to 15 is shaping up to be a significant one astrologically, with the New Moon arriving at 3:02 PM Philippine Time on Monday. New Moons signal fresh starts, and what begins this week could develop over the next six months, particularly in the part of the chart ruled by Scorpio.
What the Scorpio New Moon means for the week
The New Moon is ruled by Mars, which is joining Jupiter and the South Node in Leo. That combination, astrologer Monica Morales writes, pushes us to think bigger, aim higher, and grab opportunities we would normally hesitate to take. For a country where small vendors in Divisoria and farmers in Mindanao take risks every single day just to keep food on the table, that invitation is worth taking seriously.
But the same energy carries a warning. Overconfidence, impulsive decisions, and clashes of ego are the traps of the week. Morales advises readers not to let excitement or pride get the better of their judgment. In plain language: before you sign that loan, quit that job, or send that angry message, sleep on it.
The Scorpio New Moon invites a fresh start more broadly, as Astrosofa notes, with the days before the retrogrades end best used for reflection rather than force.
Love gets a helping hand on November 10
On November 10, retrograde Venus forms a supportive connection with Mars. Morales says this encourages attraction, cooperation, and more productive interactions with others. If you have been meaning to smooth things over with a sibling, a business partner, or a kilig prospect you met at the barangay fiesta, this is the day to reach out.
Mercury and Venus finally turn direct
The most welcome news lands at the end of the week. Mercury turns direct in Scorpio on November 13, followed by Venus in Libra on November 14. After weeks of reviewing, reconsidering, and dealing with matters that felt stalled, many of us can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
GMA Network's reading is echoed elsewhere. The Australian Women's Weekly advises prioritizing soothing and supportive activities in the final demanding days before the two planets move forward, and being patient, especially with yourself. Yahoo adds that the New Moon spotlights communities and social networks for Capricorn, with a festive stretch ahead.
One caution: both planets remain in their post-retrograde shadow periods, so things may take a little more time to pick up speed. Conversations that went nowhere should start making sense, delayed plans should show progress, and money or relationship concerns should become easier to address. Movement, not miracles.
