Horoscope For Today: Tuesday, November 18, 2025

As we build to the intense new moon in two days, the sun and moon are already gathering in the sign of Scorpio, promising a mysterious and revelatory new chapter in all our lives.

The day begins with the sun sitting at 26° Scorpio, part of a dazzling grand water trine in the sky: both Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces are retrograde at 25°, exerting more influence over the collective than the individual.

Large-scale restrictions to spiritual and creative freedom, as well as a stronger emphasis on nationalism and borders, have been making it difficult for us to see beyond our own communities. But now, with the sun involved, the power of the individual is emphasized, and the secret weapon of Scorpio—its investigative and secretive nature—allows for deep, revolutionary secrets to be brought to the light.

Women are likely to play a highly significant role in this, especially in the early morning hours on the East Coast, as the sun and Black Moon Lilith come closer to their exact conjunction at 6:14 AM EST.

The moon, meanwhile, comes close to a conjunction with Venus at 15° Scorpio as the day comes to an end, and Mercury retrogrades out of Sagittarius back into Scorpio at 10:21 PM EST, joining the dark stellium that will inevitably reveal difficult truths.

Let’s also address the two massive elephants in the room: Uranus in Taurus and Neptune in Pisces are forming a very close sextile at 29°, the anaretic degree that always reflects a certain finality to a collective chapter.

The curtain is not yet closed on this particular act, as both outer planets are retrograde for the time being, but this is a trigger point for certain chaotic and destabilizing moments, which are likely to surround misinformation and confusion regarding money, housing, and material security.

Use your discernment and don’t fall prey to aggressive fear-mongering. It’s a tactic that has been used very effectively all throughout Neptune’s ambitious fourteen-year sojourn through the Piscean waters.

What can you anticipate today? The following horoscope is intended to be read according to your rising sign, not your sun sign.

Aries

Today kicks off with the sun in your eighth house in a grand water trine to retrograde Jupiter in your fourth and retrograde Saturn in your twelfth, motivating you to dive deep beneath the surface and uncover familial secrets, break generational cycles, and learn from elderly relatives. Early in the morning, when the sun and Black Moon Lilith come into conjunction, you’ll find it easier to connect to your own shadow self and reclaim power you have been hiding—whether out of necessity or a desire to play it safe and not disturb the status quo. Meanwhile, retrograde Uranus in your second house forms a sextile with retrograde Neptune in your twelfth, instigating shocks to your financial situation and creating confusion around your values. Be wary of anyone offering you something that seems too good to be true; this is a time to be very discerning and read the fine print before you make any major business decisions.

Taurus

Today begins with a grand water trine including the sun in your seventh house, retrograde Jupiter in your third, and retrograde Neptune in your eleventh, encouraging deeper soul bonding with your partner and friends through open communication. In the early hours of the morning, the conjunction between the sun and Black Moon Lilith brings a newfound power to your partnership, but could also potentially trigger reactionary behavior due to jealousy—either on your part or theirs. Try not to assume the worst unless you have solid evidence. It’s important to remember that you and your person are a team, as retrograde Uranus in your first house stands in a sextile with retrograde Neptune in your eleventh, creating disillusionment and deception within your friend group. Your identity is probably going to have to adapt and change as you fall away from an existing community or begin integrating into a new one. Just be wary of love-bombing from new people you meet around this time; you could wake up tomorrow and realize you’ve accidentally joined a cult.

Gemini

Today brings a grand water trine featuring the sun in your sixth house, retrograde Jupiter in your second, and retrograde Neptune in your tenth, revitalizing your power on the public stage and in your professional identity. Early on, the sun and Black Moon Lilith come into conjunction and place you directly in the right place at the right time; this is excellent energy to harness if you are trying to rise in the ranks at work, although you’re almost certainly going to make some enemies in the process. Your colleagues are viewing you enviously right now as they can recognize your hidden strength, so it’s best to move in silence right now. Meanwhile, as retrograde Uranus in your twelfth house comes into a sextile with retrograde Neptune in your tenth, hidden power struggles and subconscious challenges—including mental health issues and addiction—prevent you from reaching the heights you feel entitled to. Slow down and give yourself some grace, reminding yourself that your success does not need to happen overnight.

Cancer

Today the sun in your fifth house completes a grand water trine that also includes retrograde Jupiter in your first and retrograde Neptune in your ninth, energizing you to express your truth through artistic and romantic means, while also offering you heightened spiritual enlightenment and commitment to your faith tradition. It’s possible that you could lose sight of the forest for the trees, especially if you are over-indulging in substances or experiencing limerence in the early stages of a new relationship. When the sun and Black Moon Lilith come into conjunction early this morning, you’ll feel especially sensual and passionate. For the rest of the day you’ll feel inclined to surround yourself with likeminded people who share your convictions, but with retrograde Uranus in your eleventh house sextile retrograde Neptune in your ninth, connections you make right now are unlikely to be exactly as they appear to be at first glance. Be very cautious of which spiritual and religious leaders you put your faith in right now, as they are very likely not sharing the whole truth with you.

Leo

Today’s grand water trine perfects with your sun in the fourth house, retrograde Jupiter in your twelfth, and retrograde Neptune in your eighth, so themes around family trauma and secrets are bound to start coming out. If an elderly relative has recently passed away, there may be confusion or uncertainty about an inheritance, or you might find that your spouse’s family is particularly secretive about their finances right now. When the sun and Black Moon Lilith conjoin early this morning, you can anticipate jealousy and spite from your close family members. All of this is sure to impact your professional legacy and public reputation, since since retrograde Uranus in your tenth house has come into a sextile with retrograde Neptune in your eighth, bringing your secrets into the light. If you’ve been keeping your side of the street clean, everything should be fine. If, however, you’ve been less than honest about what you’ve been doing behind closed doors, you could now start to face consequences for your actions.

Virgo

The grand water trine in the sky today includes the sun in your third house, retrograde Jupiter in your eleventh, and retrograde Neptune in your seventh, creating the perfect conditions for open and honest dialogue with your partner and your friends—although there is a strong potential for miscommunication. On the other hand, you can channel this energy more productively through mystical and esoteric experiences, along with creative collaboration. When the sun comes into conjunction with Black Moon Lilith, your communication skills reach a fever pitch, enabling you to navigate the darkness currently present in your local community and extended family. As retrograde Uranus in your ninth house comes into a sextile with retrograde Neptune in your seventh, you can expect to come to a clearer understanding of your partner’s worldview—and reach some unexpected conclusions yourself. The time is right for a paradigm shift, and your relationship will either survive it or come crashing down. Try to remember that whatever happens is ultimately for the best.

Libra

Today’s grand water trine includes the sun in your second house, retrograde Jupiter in your tenth, and retrograde Neptune in your sixth, placing a huge focus on your career goals and financial prospects. As you become increasingly fixated on achieving a certain goal or reaching a specific milestone at work, your colleagues seem incapable of remaining on the same page, making it difficult to get anything done. Early this morning, when the sun comes into conjunction with Black Moon Lilith, your capacity to hustle and earn money is very strong, as long as you don’t get too cocky and overestimate yourself. Play it safe and strategic, and you’ll come out on top. However, you could miss something significant on a contract that ultimately makes things more complicated for you, thanks to retrograde Uranus in your eighth house coming into a sextile with retrograde Neptune in your sixth. Be sure to read the fine print.

Scorpio

Today the heavens are lit up with a grand water trine that includes the sun in your first house, retrograde Jupiter in your ninth, and retrograde Neptune in your fifth, offering you a bold platform with which to express your deeply held convictions through your art—or seek out a new romantic partner who is ideologically aligned with you. As the sun and Black Moon Lilith reach a conjunction early this morning, you possess a strong capacity for seduction and psychological manipulation. Wield this power wisely, as retrograde Uranus in your seventh house is also sextile retrograde Neptune in your fifth, promising shocks and surprises in your relationship sector. If you’ve been hoping to lock down a situationship, they might choose today to suddenly ghost you—or you might feel tempted to be unfaithful to a committed partner. Carefully consider the potential risks before making the moves on anyone you’re interested in right now.

Sagittarius

Today the sun in your twelfth house joins a grand water trine that also includes retrograde Jupiter in your eighth and retrograde Neptune in your fourth, disturbing the peace within your household as family secrets are exposed and you are forced to grapple with generational trauma. You may wish to cloister yourself away for a while in order to process your thoughts, especially early this morning, when the sun comes into conjunction with Black Moon Lilith, intensifying your self-doubt and inner darkness. Speak to a trusted friend or therapist if your journal isn’t cutting it. Meanwhile, as retrograde Uranus in your sixth house reaches a sextile with retrograde Neptune in your fourth, unexpected disruptions at work force you to spend more time at home, where you can easily lose yourself in codependent habits, substance abuse, or an emotionally addictive relationship with a live-in partner.

Capricorn

Today’s grand water trine comes into formation with the sun in your eleventh house, retrograde Jupiter in your seventh, and retrograde Neptune in your third. It might feel like the ideal day to introduce your partner to your friends, intermingling these two separate and distinct parts of your life, but there is a strong likelihood that everyone will misunderstand each other, especially if you’re drinking. There could be a fair amount of drama in your friend group, too, as the sun comes into conjunction with Black Moon Lilith early this morning, so try to remain neutral and don’t take a side unless you absolutely have to. Meanwhile, as retrograde Uranus in your fifth comes into a sextile with retrograde Neptune in your third, your partner will undoubtedly say something that catches you off guard and makes you wonder if you can trust your own intuition anymore. Rely on it mor than ever, and don’t be afraid to ask for clarification. When people stop communicating, relationships are much more likely to end. Is yours worth fighting for?

Aquarius

Today the sun in your tenth house joins the grand water trine that also includes retrograde Jupiter in your sixth house and retrograde Neptune in your second. The spotlight is on you as you doggedly strive for professional success and navigate confusing financial circumstances. Your workplace might literally be expanding, in the sense that new hires are shouldering more responsibility, or you might be gaining new opportunities you’ve never had before. Take pride in your success, even if your shifting roles now mean you have to work harder to be understood. As the sun comes into conjunction with Black Moon Lilith this morning, your unique strength is highlighted—but if you’ve been spiteful or vindictive towards someone in your workplace, your behavior will probably get exposed. Be prepared to take accountability if need be, and don’t pick any fights over petty things today, especially as retrograde Uranus in your fourth house sextiles retrograde Neptune in your second; your choices right now don’t just impact you, but your whole family.

Pisces

Today’s grand water trine consists of the sun in your ninth house, retrograde Jupiter in your fifth, and retrograde Neptune in your first, amplifying your creative freedom and inciting a liberatory energy to your movement. However sure of yourself you might be, you might not be aware how you’re coming across to the world at large—and if you’re entertaining a short-term fling or situationship, you could be seeing them through rose-colored glasses. When the sun comes into conjunction with Black Moon Lilith this morning, you will be more than ready to go to war for your beliefs—but there’s a good chance you’ll burn some significant bridges in the process, thanks to retrograde Uranus in your third house closing in on a sextile with retrograde Neptune in your first. People are likely to see you for exactly who you are at this point, and if their reactions are largely negative, it’s probably advisable to take this as constructive criticism rather than an attack on your character.
