Friday 13 November 2026 is a lucky Friday the 13th for once. On this day Mercury turns direct in Scorpio after its retrograde, which began on 24 October, and Venus turns direct in Libra within hours, around 13–14 November, after a retrograde that started in early October. Two planets moving forward together after weeks of review: that is good news for conversations, love, money and plans.
- Mercury direct in Scorpio (13 November): messages, contracts, travel and tech start to flow again. Old conversations can finally reach a conclusion.
- Venus direct in Libra (13–14 November): relationships, self-worth, beauty and money decisions move forward. Whatever you reviewed in love since October is ready to settle.
- Waxing crescent Moon in Capricorn: practical, steady steps rather than big leaps.
- Allow a few days: planets move slowly just after a station, so give things until the following week to speed up properly.
This or that: what moves forward for you now?

Is Friday the 13th really unlucky?
Not in tarot. Card 13 is Death, which means change and new starts, not danger, and the number 13 has long been linked with the Moon, since there are 12 to 13 lunar cycles in a year. This particular Friday the 13th lines up with two planets ending their retrograde, so many astrologers will see it as a turning point in the right direction.
Use the weekend to restart one thing you paused in October: send the message, book the trip, fix the budget, or say the loving thing you have been holding back.
