Today’s sky · Wednesday, 4 November 2026

The sky,
today.

Wednesday, November 4, 2026, at noon, in Paris. The Sun is crossing Scorpio. The Moon, 23% lit, is crossing Virgo. Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are retrograde.

The ten planets, where they really are today at noon, Paris time. The sky is the same for everyone; what it touches in your chart is yours alone.

What it changes today

What settles you and what puts you on alert, before any conscious decision

Everyone sees what is off. It is a good time to sort, correct and finish, and a bad one for blaming.

Why?
Moon in Virgo · Waning crescent

Down to the last detail. The last crescent (292° to 360°) rises just before dawn, on the side of the Sun it will soon rejoin. The nights are nearly dark.

What draws you in and what you offer

Affection moves with no instructions, and a simple gesture is enough.

Why?
Venus sextile Jupiter · orb 0.0°

It works when you call on it, not on its own. The magnet and the amplifier.

What you are trying to become, and what you need to be recognised for

What you want shows more. It is hard to pretend.

Why?
Sun conjunction Mercury · orb 0.3°

The two work as one, impossible to separate. The centre of gravity and the translator.

How you think and speak

The season of words coming back around: re-read before sending, reconfirm plans, finish the conversations left open.

Why?
Mercury is retrograde until 13 November 2026.

Seen from Earth, the planet appears to move backwards. It has not changed direction: we are overtaking it on our orbit, like passing a train.

What draws you in and what you offer

The season of re-weighed attachments: what you love, what you spend, who you reach back out to.

Why?
Venus is retrograde until 14 November 2026.

Seen from Earth, the planet appears to move backwards. It has not changed direction: we are overtaking it on our orbit, like passing a train.

What you take seriously, and where you hold yourself to a line

The season of renegotiating your structures with yourself: rules, commitments, loads.

Why?
Saturn is retrograde until 11 December 2026.

Seen from Earth, the planet appears to move backwards. It has not changed direction: we are overtaking it on our orbit, like passing a train.
