New and full Moons
- No new or full Moon peaks this week. The Moon simply grows or fades night by night. The next one is the New Moon on November 9 in Scorpio.
Mercury
Mercury is retrograde all week. In old astrology that is a reminder to double-check messages and plans before you send or sign.
A thought for the week
The Moon spends the most time in Virgo this week, an earth sign, so the mood leans that way in the old stories. The brightest night is Monday November 2, about 43% lit. Step outside once that evening and look up; it costs nothing.
The app's Sky tab shows tonight's sky, or any date you like, with the Moon, planets and brighter stars. It costs nothing to start, and a 3-day trial of Plus or Premium lets you look around before you decide.
