Questions

How are these monthly horoscopes written?

Each one is written on the 1st of each month at 01:30 UTC from the actual planetary positions for the period: which planets are moving through which signs, and how they angle to each sign. The positions are computed, and an AI model (Anthropic's Claude) turns them into prose for each sun sign. Nothing is recycled from earlier periods.

When are the New Moon and Full Moon in November 2026?

New Moon in Scorpio: Nov 9. Full Moon in Gemini: Nov 24.

Is Mercury retrograde in November 2026?

Mercury turns direct in Scorpio on Nov 13.

Should I read my sun sign or my rising sign?

Start with your sun sign; that is how these are written. If you know your rising sign, read that one too: it maps the same planets onto the areas of your life, and many astrologers find it the more specific of the two. The personal horoscope goes further and reads the period against your whole birth chart.
