The week of November 9 to 15, 2026 promises to be one of the most planetarily intense periods of the outgoing year. Exclusively for Styler, astrologer Kateryna Solovyova revealed the key transits that will influence general moods, financial decisions, personal relationships, and creative productivity. According to her, multiple planetary phenomena are overlapping, creating a period where certain dates will favor family matters and creativity, while others will require extreme caution regarding money, new beginnings, and changes in appearance.
Retrograde Venus: A Time for Revision, Not New Beginnings
Retrograde Venus, which began on October 3, will last until November 14. Solovyova emphasizes that this period should be dedicated to rethinking personal, friendly, and business relationships, returning to unresolved issues, and working on one's self-image. The astrologer explicitly advises against rushing into new romantic acquaintances, making important relationship decisions, and moving to a new stage of commitment. Undesirable actions include registering a marriage, taking out loans, opening a business, launching large-scale financial projects, and purchasing expensive clothing, jewelry, and art pieces. It is also not the best time for changing your image, updating home design, undergoing plastic surgery, and trying new cosmetic procedures. At the same time, retrograde Venus, according to Solovyova, fosters creativity, wardrobe revision, financial organization, work with images, and analysis of past experience. One of the main lessons of this period is to learn self-acceptance and build harmonious relationships with oneself.
End of Retrograde Mercury: What Is Allowed and What Is Still Not
Another significant event of the week is the end of retrograde Mercury, which has been in backward motion since October 24. Until its conclusion, the astrologer advises against scheduling important negotiations, signing new contracts, purchasing appliances, making significant payments, planning responsible business trips, and taking major exams. Meanwhile, retrograde Mercury opens a favorable window for returning to old projects, restoring contacts with former acquaintances, searching for lost items, retaking exams, analyzing accumulated information, and traveling to familiar places. Thus, the week becomes a transitional one: some restrictions are lifted, but careful attention must be paid to the exact transit end dates.
New Moon in Scorpio: Finances, Risks, and Transformations
On November 9 at 09:02 Kyiv time, the exact phase of the New Moon in Scorpio took place. According to Solovyova, issues of finance, large sums of money, risks, dangers, and deep transformations will require special attention on this day. These very areas may come to the forefront depending on where the New Moon falls in each person's natal chart. Furthermore, from 11:11 to 13:07, the Moon was in the so-called destructive degree of Scorpio. The astrologer links this interval with tests of endurance, resilience, and psychological strength. Important matters, especially those concerning emotional state, health, and psychological well-being, should not be scheduled for this time. At the same time, the period can become an opportunity for spiritual growth, deep self-analysis, and helping others. The ability to remain calm and support those going through difficult times will help navigate these trials with dignity, Solovyova notes.
November 10: Family Harmony and Heightened Intuition
On November 10, according to the astrologer's forecast, conditions will favor harmonizing relationships with loved ones. Solovyova advises dedicating time to family, children, and household chores. On this day, she observes, intuition may sharpen, so one should listen more closely to personal feelings—particularly during communication and food choices. However, the day also has its 'dark side': from 01:25 to 10:36, the Moon will be void-of-course. According to astrological beliefs, during this time the normal flow of affairs can be disrupted, and decisions often prove erroneous. One should not start anything important, make valuable purchases, seek help, or rely on new offers—they may turn out to be unpromising. To harmonize lunar energy, the astrologer recommends white color, silver, dairy products, and resting near a body of water.
Sun in the Destructive Degree: A Test of Inner Stability
Another feature of November 10 is the Sun's presence in the destructive degree of Scorpio. This period will begin on November 10 at 11:33 and end on November 11 at 11:24. According to Solovyova's forecast, it may test inner stability, vitality, and the ability to maintain balance. Therefore, important matters related to self-realization, health, and personal goals are best not planned for this window. Initiating new affairs, making important decisions, undergoing surgical and dental procedures, and visiting a hairdresser are not recommended. Special attention should be paid to communication during these hours: the astrologer advises avoiding conflicts, refraining from arguments, and not initiating difficult conversations. Overall, the day is poorly suited for starting new ventures, making key decisions, surgical and dental interventions, hair salon visits, and long-distance travel. Solovyova also recommends postponing applying for a new job, buying or repairing a car, purchasing household appliances, and excessive workloads.
Practical Recommendations for the Entire Week
Synthesizing all transits into a single picture, Kateryna Solovyova formulates several general principles for the week of November 9–15. First, priority is given to internal dialogue, self-analysis, and working with existing projects and relationships rather than new beginnings. Second, financial decisions—from major purchases to signing contracts—are best postponed until the planetary background stabilizes after November 14. Third, creative and spiritual spheres are in a favorable phase: retrograde Venus and the New Moon in Scorpio create fertile ground for deep reflection, artistic work, and a reassessment of life priorities. The astrologer emphasizes that the week is not 'forbidden'—it merely requires a conscious choice of timing for specific actions and respect for the rhythm set by current transits.
