Welcome to your daily horoscope for November 2, 2026. The aspect running underneath today is Jupiter in Leo opposing the North Node in Aquarius, 2.49° apart and applying, so it keeps building. Jupiter at 24° Leo stands for a big heart, generosity and the urge to shine. The North Node at 26° Aquarius points toward community, collaboration and the future. Today asks how to grow your own light and share it with the people around you, because the two aren’t really at odds. The Leo Moon sets the whole axis off. It meets fiery Mars around 8:50am EST, reaches Jupiter itself around 5:55pm EST, and crosses opposite the North Node late tonight.
The Moon is a Third Quarter Moon, 48.9% illuminated and waning, one day past yesterday’s Last Quarter square to the Scorpio Sun. This is the clearing-out stretch of the cycle (our waning moon guide explains why). Two supporting aspects add shape: the Moon squares retrograde Mercury in Scorpio (exact around 1:30am EST), and Venus, still retrograde in Libra, sextiles Jupiter, building toward an exact sextile on Wednesday. Read on to see where this Leo-Aquarius story lands for your sign.
Best Time to Act
Jupiter opposite the North Node is applying, and so is Venus sextile Jupiter, so today’s energy builds rather than fades. Mornings suit planning, and the Moon’s meeting with Mars around 8:50am EST adds courage for one bold first step. Evenings bring the payoff: when the Moon reaches Jupiter around 5:55pm EST, generosity and optimism peak. The Sun-Moon square, the Moon-Saturn trine and Mercury square Mars are all separating, so their friction is already easing.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Your 5th house of joy, romance and creativity is the busiest place in the sky today. The Leo Moon, Mars and Jupiter all sit there, and Jupiter’s opposition to the North Node in your 11th house of friends and future goals asks you to share your creative fire with your community instead of keeping it private. Your ruler Mars is in Leo, and the Moon meets it around 8:50am EST, so you start the day confident, playful and ready to flirt. Mars is still separating from a square to retrograde Mercury in your 8th house of shared resources. If yesterday brought a tense money talk or a misunderstanding about intimacy, it’s already easing, so let it go. Saturn, retrograde in your 1st house, is separating from a trine to the Moon, which steadies your enthusiasm with a little maturity. Love: Put the fun first. Plan a date that makes you both laugh. Career: Pitch the creative idea to a group, not just one person. Health: Dance, play a sport, or do anything that feels like recess. Lucky number: 7 | Lucky color: Scarlet
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
The Leo Moon, Mars and Jupiter gather in your 4th house of home and family, while the North Node holds your 10th house of career. Jupiter’s opposition to the North Node stretches right across that home-career axis. Today you’re not choosing between a warm nest and a bright reputation. You’re working out how one can feed the other. Your ruler Venus is retrograde in Libra in your 6th house of daily routines, and her sextile to Jupiter is applying, linking your 6th and 4th houses. Small home rituals, like a tidy kitchen, a good meal or a slow morning, give you the steadiness you need at work, and this sextile builds toward exact on Wednesday. Venus is also separating from her trine to the North Node, a gentle reminder that the healthy habits you started recently are already helping your career. Love: Invite someone special over instead of going out. Career: Bring one domestic comfort to your workspace. Health: A grounding walk around your neighborhood resets your nervous system. Lucky number: 22 | Lucky color: Sage green
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
The Leo Moon, Mars and Jupiter energize your 3rd house of conversations, writing and local errands, and Jupiter’s opposition to the North Node runs across to your 9th house of big ideas, travel and learning. The message: everyday chats can open long-distance doors, so say yes to the conversation that seems minor. Your ruler Mercury is retrograde in Scorpio in your 6th house of work routines, and the Moon squares it, exact around 1:30am EST. You might wake up re-thinking a task or noticing a detail you missed. Use that. Mercury is also separating from a square to Mars (6th to 3rd house), so the edgy back-and-forth with a coworker is passing its peak. Meanwhile Uranus, retrograde in your own 1st house, trines Pluto in your 9th, applying. Quietly, you’re rebuilding your worldview from the inside out. Love: A witty text works better than a long speech. Career: Re-read before you hit send, because Mercury retrograde rewards a second look. Health: Take a short walk between tasks to clear mental clutter. Lucky number: 15 | Lucky color: Lemon yellow
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Your ruler, the Moon, is in Leo in your 2nd house of money, values and self-worth, and it shares that house with Mars and Jupiter today. With the North Node in your 8th house of shared resources, Jupiter’s opposition highlights the 2nd-8th house axis: what’s yours, what’s shared, and how generous you can be without draining yourself. The Moon is separating from a trine to retrograde Saturn in your 10th house of career, so a practical financial decision made yesterday is already paying off. It’s also past its Last Quarter square to the Sun in your 5th house, which means the tension between spending on fun and saving for security is resolving. When the Moon meets Mars around 8:50am EST, you may feel a burst of drive to earn, negotiate or ask for what you’re worth. Do it kindly and confidently. Love: Show care through thoughtful gestures rather than expensive ones. Career: Review a budget, invoice or rate today. Health: Nourishing, comforting food is self-care, not indulgence. Lucky number: 41 | Lucky color: Silver
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
This is your day, Leo. The Moon, Mars and Jupiter all stand in your 1st house of self and identity, while the North Node sits directly opposite in your 7th house of partnerships. Jupiter’s opposition to the North Node is the biggest theme in your chart: your confidence is magnetic, and it grows further when you use it to lift a partner up. Your ruler, the Sun, is in Scorpio in your 4th house of home, and its Last Quarter square to the Moon is separating. A private family matter that pulled at you yesterday is settling down, so now you can turn outward. Jupiter is also applying to a trine with Chiron in your 9th house, a healing link between your self-expression and your beliefs. Speaking your truth, even with a wobble in your voice, does more good than you know. Our Jupiter in Leo guide goes deeper on this year-long blessing. Love: Lead with warmth, then really listen. Career: Volunteer for the visible role. Health: Your energy is high, so channel it into movement. Lucky number: 19 | Lucky color: Gold
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
The Leo Moon, Mars and Jupiter move through your 12th house of rest, dreams and behind-the-scenes healing, while the North Node holds your 6th house of health and daily work. Jupiter’s opposition to the North Node runs across your 12th-6th axis and asks you to balance service with solitude. You can’t pour from an empty cup, and today it shows. Your ruler Mercury is retrograde in Scorpio in your 3rd house of communication. The Moon squares Mercury (exact around 1:30am EST), so you may wake with vivid thoughts or a conversation replaying in your head. Journal it rather than act on it right away. Mercury is also separating from its square to Mars in your 12th house, so the anxious mental loop of the past few days is quieting. Trust that. Love: A quiet evening together beats a crowded event. Career: Finish one task privately before sharing it. Health: Go to bed early tonight, because the Moon-Jupiter meeting in your 12th house favors restorative sleep. Lucky number: 33 | Lucky color: Forest green
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Your ruler Venus is retrograde in your own sign, in your 1st house of identity, and she’s at the center of today’s supporting aspects. Venus sextile Jupiter is applying, linking your 1st house to your 11th house of friends and networks, where the Leo Moon, Mars and Jupiter are gathered. Your social circle is a gift today, so reach out to someone you’ve missed. Venus is also separating from her trine to the North Node in your 5th house of romance and creativity, and from her opposition to Chiron in your 7th house of partnerships. The relationship lessons of the past week have landed, and you’re softer and wiser for them. Jupiter’s opposition to the North Node runs across your 11th-5th axis: group fun and personal joy want to mix. See the Venus retrograde 2026 guide for how to make the most of the last stretch before Venus turns direct. Love: Reconnect, don’t reinvent. Career: A friend of a friend has a useful lead. Health: Gentle stretching honors your body’s rhythm. Lucky number: 6 | Lucky color: Rose pink
