Daily Astrology, Monday, November 2, 2026: Waning Crescent Moon with Mars and Jupiter

Today the Moon is a waning crescent, about 38 percent lit, in Leo, moving toward the New Moon on Sunday, November 8, at 11:02 p.m. PST.

Look before dawn for the main grouping. The waning crescent Moon stands near Mars and Jupiter in Leo, with the Beehive Cluster nearby, and Mars sits a couple of degrees from the Moon on the morning of November 2.

Saturn gives the evening its steady point. Saturn is well placed after dark, while Venus is low in the morning sky and Mercury is lost in the Sun's glare, ahead of its inferior conjunction on November 4.

Western tropical note: the Sun stands in Scorpio. Mercury is retrograde in Scorpio and Venus is retrograde in Libra, both until November 13 in Western tropical terms.

Magical use today: clear, finish, and release what is done. Clear your working area, finish unfinished work, and keep new work small until the dark Moon. This is a common practitioner reading of the waning crescent, not a manuscript citation.
