This week in one line: Shop and celebrate on Dhanteras and Diwali, but save long-term contracts and big promises for after 13 November, when Mercury turns direct.

Planetary Positions This Week

The table shows each planet at about 6 AM IST on Monday, 2 November, along with the changes due before Sunday night.

Big Highlights of the Weekly Horoscope for November 2 to 8

Five threads run through this week for every sign. Each sign section below then builds on them.

Diwali Week: From Dhanteras to Lakshmi Puja

Dhanteras falls on Friday, 6 November. Trayodashi begins at about 10:44 AM, and the Delhi puja muhurat runs from about 6:02 PM to 7:58 PM. Because Trayodashi falls on a Friday, the day also doubles as Shukra Pradosh. Kali Chaudas and the Choti Diwali lamps follow on Saturday night. This year, the Narak Chaturdashi oil bath falls on Sunday morning, the same day as Diwali. Amavasya then begins at about 11:29 AM, and the Delhi Lakshmi Puja muhurat runs from about 5:54 PM to 7:50 PM. Confirm the timings for your city on our Panchang page.

Mercury Meets the Sun on Wednesday

Retrograde Mercury passes between the Earth and the Sun on Wednesday, 4 November. Astronomers call this an inferior conjunction, and EarthSky lists it in its 2026 Mercury calendar. In Jyotish, Mercury sits deep in combustion at that moment, so speech, paperwork and digital work can feel foggy. Western astrologers, by contrast, call the exact meeting “cazimi” and treat it as a brief flash of clarity. So use Wednesday evening to think, journal and review, not to sign. Mercury finally turns direct on 13 November.

Venus Slips Back into Virgo on Friday

Retrograde Venus leaves Libra and re-enters Virgo, its sign of debilitation, on Friday, 6 November. In fact, that shift lands on Dhanteras itself. Buy what you need and what tradition asks for, but skip impulse luxuries and costly gifts you may regret. On Saturday afternoon, the Moon meets Venus near the Virgo–Libra border, which softens moods before Choti Diwali. Venus turns direct on 14 November and returns to Libra on 22 November.

The Moon Meets Mars, Jupiter and Ketu

On Monday evening, around 7 PM IST, the Moon joins debilitated Mars in Cancer. This Chandra-Mangal pairing gives energy for cleaning and money matters, but tempers flare easily. Early on Tuesday, the Moon enters Leo and meets Jupiter around 4 AM, forming Gajakesari Yoga. A few hours later, around 8 AM, it reaches Ketu as well. Tuesday therefore suits prayer, study and quiet planning more than loud decisions.

Slow Movers: Saturn, Jupiter, Rahu and Ketu

Saturn stays retrograde in Pisces and barely moves this week. Sade Sati continues for Aquarius (final phase), Pisces (peak) and Aries (first phase), while Leo and Sagittarius face Shani Dhaiya. Check your phase with our free Sade Sati analyzer or read our Saturn Transit 2026 guide. Meanwhile, Jupiter settles into Leo beside Ketu, and Mars will join them on 12 November. Our Jupiter Transit 2026 report, Mars in 2026 analysis, Rahu Transit 2026 and Ketu Transit 2026 guides explain these slower cycles.

Day-by-Day Guide: November 2 to 8, 2026

Chandrashtama This Week

Chandrashtama is the window when the Moon transits the eighth house from your Moon sign. During it, avoid big purchases, risky travel and tough conversations.

Aries Weekly Horoscope: November 2 to 8, 2026

At a glance: Rating 3.5/5 · Best days: Thursday afternoon to Sunday · Go slow: Monday evening

Aries, your weekly horoscope for November 2 to 8, 2026 starts at home and ends with your partner. On Monday, the Moon joins your ruler Mars in your fourth house. Mars is weak there, so chores, repairs or a sharp word with your mother can spoil the evening. So keep it light.

From Thursday morning, the Moon enters your sixth house, a classic position for health, service and beating competition. Finish pending work then, and do your Dhanteras shopping with a clear list. Venus also moves into your sixth on Friday, which can tempt you to overspend on gadgets or household help.

On Saturday evening, the Moon enters your seventh house beside the Sun and Mercury, so Diwali becomes a couple’s festival for you. Still, Mercury’s retrograde in the seventh asks you to delay business deals and promises until next week. Jupiter in your fifth keeps children and students lucky, while Saturn in the twelfth may cut your sleep short during the celebrations.

Aries Remedies This Week

• Clean your stove and copper vessels on Monday. Mars in your fourth house rules the hearth, and tidying it calms the weak planet.
• Buy a copper lamp or vessel on Dhanteras. Copper belongs to Mars and the Sun, your two key planets this week.
• Light a sesame-oil lamp near a peepal tree on Saturday. It gently supports the first phase of Sade Sati.

Taurus, your weekly horoscope for November 2 to 8, 2026 opens with courage. On Monday, the Moon and Mars meet in your third house, which suits bold calls, short trips and help from siblings. So use the day to settle one pending task.

Tuesday and Wednesday feel heavier, because the Moon joins Jupiter and Ketu in your fourth house. Consequently, home duties pile up, and you may feel restless indoors. From Thursday, the Moon enters your fifth house, and creativity, romance and children’s matters bring joy.

Your ruler Venus enters that same fifth house on Friday, right on Dhanteras. However, a retrograde, weak Venus favours small, meaningful purchases over showy ones. Then, on Saturday evening, the Moon enters your sixth house alongside the Sun and Mercury. Diwali night therefore suits service, cleaning and caring for elders. Saturn in your eleventh keeps income steady, while Rahu in the tenth keeps work demanding.

Taurus Remedies This Week

• Buy a small silver coin or silver utensil on Dhanteras. Silver suits Venus and the Moon, your key planets this week.

On Saturday evening, the Moon joins Mercury in the fifth, so Diwali brings joy through children and creative family rituals. Saturn in the tenth, however, keeps your workload heavy.

Gemini Remedies This Week

• Donate green moong dal on Wednesday. It supports Mercury on the very day it meets the Sun.
• Buy books, pens or a new diary on Dhanteras. These are Mercury’s own items, and they bless study and business.

Frequently Asked Questions: Weekly Horoscope November 2 to 8, 2026

Which signs are luckiest in the weekly horoscope for November 2 to 8, 2026?

Scorpio, Sagittarius and Gemini look strongest. Scorpio gets Dhanteras in its eleventh house, while Sagittarius gets Diwali there. Gemini enjoys a powerful midweek third house. Aquarius and Pisces need the most care, because Chandrashtama overlaps Dhanteras and Diwali respectively.

What is the Lakshmi Puja muhurat on Diwali 2026?

In New Delhi, the muhurat runs from about 5:54 PM to 7:50 PM on Sunday, 8 November. It combines Pradosh Kaal with the fixed Vrishabha lagna. Amavasya begins at about 11:29 AM that day, and other cities differ by a few minutes.

Is it safe to buy gold on Dhanteras while Venus and Mercury are retrograde?

Yes, for traditional and modest purchases. A festival muhurat carries its own blessing. However, avoid long contracts, loans and big-ticket deals until Mercury and Venus turn direct on 13 and 14 November.

When is Narak Chaturdashi in 2026?

Kali Chaudas and the Choti Diwali lamps fall on Saturday night, 7 November. The Narak Chaturdashi oil bath, however, falls before sunrise on Sunday, 8 November. Chaturdashi tithi prevails at sunrise that day, so both rituals share the date with Diwali.

What does Mercury meeting the Sun mean for me?

It marks the midpoint of the Mercury retrograde. Old messages, documents and ideas may return with fresh meaning. Treat Wednesday as a day for insight, and act on that insight after 13 November.

Should I read my Moon sign or my Sun sign?
