Aries
Aries, Monday is a fresh start for trust and shared money, so clean up one thing you owe or are owed.
You love a fresh start, Aries, and you get one this week. On Monday the New Moon lands in Scorpio, which basically means a clean page for the parts of life you share with others: money, trust, debts and closeness. Pick one thing to reset. Maybe it is a loan you keep meaning to repay, a joint account that needs a talk or a promise you made and forgot. Fix one, and the rest of the month feels lighter. You do not need a big plan, just one honest first move.
Love
Have one real talk over dinner.
Career
Chase the payment politely on Tuesday.
Spirit
Write it down, then let it go.
A Fresh Start on Monday, and the Fog Finally Starts to Lift
Here is the big picture for this week, which runs from Friday, November 6 to Thursday, November 12. On Monday, November 9, there is a New Moon in Scorpio. A New Moon is the dark, quiet start of the Moon cycle, and astrologers treat it like the first page of a new notebook. It is a good moment to pick one thing you want to grow over the next month and take a small first step. Scorpio flavors it with honesty, so the best wishes this week are the real ones, not the polite ones.
The other big story is relief. Mercury, the planet of messages, plans and gadgets, and Venus, the planet of love and money, have both been in a backward-looking spell, which astrologers call a retrograde. It does not mean they really move backward. It just looks that way from Earth, and it often brings mix-ups and second thoughts. Both of them turn forward again around November 12 to 13, right at the end of this week. Expect plans to stop wobbling and feelings to make more sense.
So the week has a simple shape. The first few days are for finishing up and tidying loose ends while the old fog clears. Monday is your fresh start. By Thursday, things begin to move again, but give it a few extra days before you sign anything huge or make a big purchase. Your own sign below tells you where the fresh start lands for you.

What is the big astrology news this week, in plain English?
Two things. On Monday, November 9, there is a New Moon in Scorpio, which works like a fresh page for setting a goal or a wish. And at the very end of the week, around November 12 to 13, both Mercury and Venus stop their backward-looking spells. That means fewer mix-ups with messages and plans, and clearer feelings about love and money.
What is a New Moon and what should I do on November 9?
A New Moon is when the Moon is dark in the sky, at the very start of its monthly cycle. Astrologers see it as a time for beginnings. You do not need a ritual. Just write down one thing you want to grow this month, like saving a bit more, sleeping better or being more honest with someone, and take one small step toward it in the next few days.
When does Mercury retrograde end?
Mercury turns forward again around November 13, after a backward-looking spell that began in late October. Most astrologers give the 13th, a few say a day or two later. The days around the switch can still feel a bit slow, so keep double-checking dates and messages until the weekend after, and then enjoy the smoother flow.
Is Venus still retrograde this week?
Yes, but only just. Venus has been in its backward-looking phase since early October and turns forward again around November 12 to 13. Astrologers link Venus to love, beauty and money, so this has been a season of second thoughts about relationships and spending. Use this week to settle what you have learned, then make bigger love or money moves a little later in the month.
