With the onset of longer nights, astronomers have more opportunities to observe celestial objects. The November period promises observers a rich program of events.
In particular, amateur astronomers will be able to observe bright bolides, as well as the rare conjunction of Mars and Jupiter. Additionally, a 'supermoon' and a morning planetary parade are scheduled.
This article details all the celestial phenomena that can be seen in November 2026.
The month of November begins with several important astronomical events, including the end of Mercury's last retrograde motion of the year, a meteor shower, the observation of Uranus at its best time, and the arrival of a Supermoon. Concurrently, space exploration records an unprecedented feat with the Voyager 1 probe reaching a distance of one light-day from Earth.
It is important to note that all mentioned times and dates are referenced to an observer in Brasília (DF) and may vary slightly depending on the location. To ensure the accuracy of observations, it is recommended to use applications such as Star Walk, Stellarium, or SkySafari, which indicate the exact position of celestial bodies according to the observer's location.
On November 9th, Carl Sagan's birthday will be celebrated, a date dedicated to honoring the contributions of the astrophysicist and the legacy of scientific outreach he left behind.
On November 13th, Mercury's retrograde motion ends. Due to its relatively short orbit, completing one trip around the Sun every 88 days, the planet often appears to move backward in the sky for about three weeks as it overtakes Earth.
The peak of the Leonids meteor shower is expected on November 18th. On this day, with the Moon showing 61% illumination in the early evening, but setting before the ideal visibility time, the phenomenon can be seen in both the Southern and Northern Hemispheres.
Additionally, on November 25th, the Castor Supermoon will occur. This event happens when the Full Moon coincides with perigee, the orbital point closest to Earth, causing the lunar disk to appear slightly larger and up to 14% brighter than a common full moon. The name refers to periods when animals accumulated reserves for winter.
During this month, the Hera probe will arrive at the Didymos-Dimorphos asteroid binary system for the first encounter. This European Space Agency (ESA) spacecraft will study the consequences of the DART mission, conducted by NASA, assisting in improving planetary defense methods, and will release two cubesats before beginning its scientific activities in 2027.
Another milestone is the insertion of BepiColombo into Mercury's orbit. This collaborative mission between the ESA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) will use the Mercury Planetary Orbiter (MPO) and the Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter (MIO) to investigate the planet's magnetic field, interior, and surface.
Finally, around the 15th, the NASA's Voyager 1 probe will reach the mark of one light-day from Earth. Nearly fifty years after its launch in 1977, the spacecraft will be 25.9 billion kilometers from our planet, the time required for light to travel that distance.
The final phase of Sadesati for the Capricorn sign is ongoing. This period of Sadesati from Saturn will last until June 3, 2027. When Saturn leaves the sign of Minos and enters the sign of Aries, Sadesati for Capricorn will conclude. Astrologers view this as a significant relief for people born under the Capricorn sign. Nevertheless, there are still about 7-8 months left until the end of Sadesati, and the holiday season is also underway now.
Let's consider how the influence of Sadesati will affect all signs in the coming days.
People born under the Capricorn sign who have long faced financial difficulties or problems with stagnant money can expect relief. If someone has not returned a debt or if a deal has been suspended, there is a possibility that the situation will start moving forward. Within the next 7-8 months, you may receive your delayed money back. At the same time, you should monitor non-essential expenses and maintain a better balance between income and spending.
Capricorns may receive excellent opportunities for professional advancement. Employees at work can expect support from senior management. Businesspeople may connect with people who can help them close a large or profitable deal. During this period, it is important to work patiently and take one's duties seriously.
All matters that are pending or unfinished for Capricorns will begin to progress. If you make a list of tasks and prioritize them, the probability of success will be very high. It is necessary to focus on completing things one by one instead of postponing responsibilities. You will need to move forward with patience and confidence to complete your tasks.
In terms of family happiness, the concluding Sadesati is considered favorable for you. You will be free from domestic conflicts. Peace and tranquility will prevail at home, and new joyful events are approaching. The time for removing obstacles hindering the progress of family members has arrived.
Capricorn natives are advised to worship the god Saturn on Saturday. It is also suggested to donate black cumin or black lentils to those in need. It is important to respect elders and regularly recite the Hanuman Chalisa.
In 2027, Saturn will change its zodiac sign. On June 3rd, Saturn will leave Pisces and enter Aries. This transition will alter the entire Sadshati calculation. Until June 3, 2027, Sadshati will apply to Capricorn, Pisces, and Aries. However, after Saturn's transit, Sadshati will move away from Capricorn, and the first stage of Sadshati will begin for Taurus.
Let's examine what results these signs may achieve under the influence of Sadshati.
Aries natives in 2027 should exercise caution in their behavior and decisions. It is especially important to avoid making risky financial decisions. Before investing, all related aspects must be carefully considered. A hastily made decision can lead to problems. Therefore, it is crucial to move forward with an understanding of the circumstances and pay attention to the potential consequences of any significant step.
For Taurus representatives, the new phase of Sadshati in 2027 may prove very significant. During this period, it is necessary to maintain good relationships with family members. One should refrain from escalating disputes over trifles and try to resolve any issues patiently. A serious attitude towards one's duties will be beneficial. Even if circumstances seem difficult, it is important to continue moving forward with self-control.
Capricorn natives in 2027 should maintain discipline in their work process. Before making any important decision, they should understand all related details. It is better to avoid actions without complete information. Furthermore, health should not be neglected. Maintaining a regular daily routine and systematically fulfilling duties can be important for you during this period.
Pisces natives in 2027 are predicted to move forward with patience and responsibility. When communicating about family and relationships, calmness should be maintained. Instead of immediately reacting to disagreements, it is better to discuss them peacefully. It is also recommended to stick to a regular routine and make important decisions thoughtfully. Gradual progress, while being aware of one's responsibilities, may prove beneficial to you.
