The week of 09-15 November begins with the New Moon energy of Amavasya, then shifts into planetary momentum and festive bliss. Mercury and Venus will end their retrograde phases, and Mars enters Leo, highlighting confidence, ambition, and personal expression throughout the week. Important observances include Govardhan Puja, Bhai Dooj, and Chhath Puja.
The week’s planetary movements encourage us to review unfinished plans, rethink important decisions, and prepare for a fresh start. Let’s look at this week’s major astrological events.
This week brings significant planetary shifts and several Hindu festivals. Here are the important dates:
The New Moon is in Libra on 9 November. In astrology, the New Moon (Amavasya) represents fresh intentions, reflection and new beginnings. As Libra is the zodiac sign of relationships, balance, and partnerships, this lunation is a great time to review your personal relationships and re-evaluate your commitments.
Govardhan Puja falls on November 10 and commemorates Lord Krishna lifting Govardhan Hill to protect the people of Vrindavan. This festival reflects gratitude, devotion, and respect for nature. It also reminds us of humility, faith, and community strength.
Bhai Dooj celebrates the bond between brothers and sisters. Sisters traditionally pray for their brothers’ health and well-being, and families come together to celebrate. This festival highlights affection, mutual care, and the importance of the family bond.
Jupiter and Ketu unite in Leo on November 12. Jupiter represents wisdom, expansion, and knowledge, while Ketu represents detachment, introspection, and spiritual understanding. This conjunction could be a good time to ask deeper questions about your beliefs, ambitions, and what success really means to you. It could be a favourable time to see whether your goals align with your values.
Mars moves from Cancer into Leo on 12th November. Mars is the planet of courage, action and determination, and Leo is the zodiac sign of confidence, creativity and leadership. This transit into Leo could motivate you to get on with things, take the initiative, put your ideas forward, and go after what you want. Be mindful of the potential for impatience and for a bit of ego as well.
Mercury ends its retrograde phase and turns direct in Libra on 13th November. Mercury rules communication, travel, technology, and decision-making, so its return to direct motion may help clear lingering misunderstandings, close long-delayed conversations, and bring clarity to outstanding issues.
Venus turns direct in Virgo on 14th November, ending its retrograde. Venus rules love, relationships, beauty, and money, so this period may bring clarity to your relationship expectations, personal values, and finances. Things that have needed patience or a bit of re-evaluation may well now start to move.
Labh Panchami falls on November 14 and is traditionally a day of prosperity, new beginnings, and business in parts of India.
Chhath Puja falls on 15 November and involves offering prayers to the Sun God and Chhathi Maiya. It is a festival of gratitude, discipline, nature, and the Sun’s importance in keeping us all alive. Many traditions also observe Skanda Shashti on this day.
Note: Festival dates and observances may vary by local tradition and Panchang calculations.
This week’s theme is moving forward after a period of reflection. The New Moon in Libra on Nov 9 offers a great opportunity to look at relationships, commitments, and personal priorities with fresh eyes. It’s a good time to think about what needs to change and where balance is needed.
The shift in planetary momentum becomes more apparent towards the end of the week. Mercury turns direct on November 13, and Venus on November 14. These events are significant for communication, relationships, and financial decisions. However, the end of a retrograde doesn’t automatically mean all pending issues will sort themselves out. Take the time to go over your decisions and make any necessary amendments.
Mars entering Leo brings another layer to the week. It could give us more confidence, ambition, and a greater willingness to get things done. The Jupiter-Ketu conjunction prompts us to consider whether our ambitions align with our core values.
All of that points to a week of reassessment followed by a very gradual move forward. Rather than jumping straight into new plans, the approach should be to get clarity and then make your next move very carefully.

Mars entering Leo could spark leadership, confidence, and initiative at work. You may be feeling the urge to take the lead or to get back into a project that’s been sitting around. Mercury turning direct can also help facilitate clearer discussions and slowly resolve communication delays. As always, though, be very careful with the details before you finalise anything or make any major professional decisions.
Venus turning direct brings us back to financial priorities, spending, and values. It’s a good time to review your budget, especially if you’ve put off financial decisions during the retrograde. Mars in Leo can encourage ambitious plans, so don’t let that confidence turn into reckless risk-taking. Stick to the practical, the achievable and the long term.
The New Moon in conjunction with Jupiter-Ketu calls for introspection and getting to the root of what matters to you. You may find yourself drawn to meditation, prayer, or other activities that help you reconnect with yourself. With Mars now in Leo, balance your enthusiasm with patience. Take time to rest, spend time with family, and do things that help you feel grounded.
