Aries horoscope for today, Thursday 5 November 2026
Archive: this horoscope was published for Thursday 5 November 2026. See today’s horoscope
Aries, finishing practical tasks brings relief: the Moon is still in Virgo this morning in your sector of work, health and habits, waning and about 16% lit, then enters Libra later and shifts focus toward partnerships.
Venus, retrograde in Libra, makes a near-exact sextile to Jupiter and a trine to the North Node, which helps an old contact, method or hope return in a useful form. The Sun and retrograde Mercury sit almost conjunct in Scorpio, so honesty about a deep or financial matter comes more easily if you speak slowly.
Mars, your ruler, still conjunct Jupiter in Leo, keeps creative drive high if you finish before you start. Mars and Jupiter remain together in Leo, keeping enthusiasm high. With the waning Moon, complete what is half done before you open a brand-new file after the Libra ingress.
The Moon today for Aries
The Moon at 25° Virgo crosses your 6th house of daily work, routines and health. For Aries, this is where feelings and daily reactions gather today. The to-do list feels heavier; sort tasks by size and finish one small job early.
Later the Moon moves into Libra, your 7th house: the focus shifts toward partners, contracts and open rivals. Other people set the tone; listen first, then say clearly what you can and cannot give.
The lunar phase is a waning crescent, best for rest and clearing (16% lit), and for Aries it colours the 6th house matters above.

Aries love today
Venus at 24° Libra, retrograde, crosses your 7th house of partners, contracts and open rivals: the couple and close partnerships take centre stage, so balance giving and receiving.
Venus is retrograde, so the area of partners, contracts and open rivals is one to revisit: an old feeling, a past choice or a value you want to check, rather than a time to force a new commitment.

Saturn at 9° Aries in your 1st house asks for patience and structure around self, body and first impressions: slow, steady effort there counts more than speed.
Aries money today
Jupiter at 24° Leo crosses your 5th house of pleasure, romance and creativity: generosity toward pleasure is strong; enjoy, but set a limit on leisure spending.
Your money houses (2nd: own income, 8th: shared money) also host the Sun (8th), Mercury (8th) today, so finances are an active topic; compare before you commit.
