Daily Horoscope Today, November 5, 2026: Predictions for All 12 Zodiac Signs

Thursday, November 5, 2026 is a quiet but quietly powerful day. The Moon spends almost the whole day in practical, detail-loving Virgo, so it is a great day for sorting, planning, healing and doing small things well. Late on Wednesday evening (around 7:55 PM IST on November 4) the Sun met retrograde Mercury at about 12° Scorpio. Astrologers call this Mercury’s inferior conjunction, or “cazimi” (in the heart of the Sun), and it marks the midpoint of the current Mercury retrograde. Ideas and truths that have been hiding can surface now, and many people feel a sudden moment of clarity about something they have been overthinking. In the evening, around 8:10 PM IST, the Moon moves into Libra, where it joins retrograde Venus later in the night, and the mood softens towards relationships, beauty and compromise. Thursday is ruled by Jupiter (Guruvar), and Jupiter is still in Leo next to Mars, so generosity, teaching and confidence are well supported. Here is your daily horoscope for all 12 zodiac signs, with career, love, money and wellbeing guidance.

Today’s Planetary Weather (November 5, 2026)

• Sun conjunct retrograde Mercury in Scorpio (exact on the evening of Nov 4): the “heart of the Sun” moment of Mercury retrograde. Insights, honest conversations and research breakthroughs are likely. Write ideas down, but wait a little before signing or launching.
• Moon in Virgo (until about 8:10 PM IST): health, routines, lists, editing and useful service. Small improvements bring real satisfaction today.
• Moon enters Libra (about 8:10 PM IST): the evening turns social and peace-seeking. Later in the night the Moon meets retrograde Venus, which can bring old feelings, old friends or old money questions back up.
• Thursday and Jupiter in Leo: Jupiter’s day favours learning, mentoring, prayer, charity and big-picture thinking. Mars close to Jupiter adds courage.
• Retrogrades: Mercury (Scorpio), Venus (Libra) and Saturn (Aries) are all retrograde, so review, repair and reconnect rather than rush.
• Moon phase: a thin waning crescent, about four days before the New Moon on November 9. It is a good time to finish, clear out and rest rather than to start big new projects.

Because Virgo is an earth sign and Libra is an air sign, the day moves from “fix it” in the daytime to “talk it through” at night. If you know your rising sign, read it as well as your Sun sign for a more personal picture.
