NEW YORK – The Moon trines Jupiter in Leo early on Thursday, November 12, 2026, then enters Capricorn at about 3:28 PM EST, moving the day from big-picture optimism toward practical order. Mercury and Venus turn direct on Friday, so this is the last full day of the double retrograde. It follows Wednesday’s steady Moon–Saturn trine, and the supportive mood carries over.
The early hours favor generosity and bold ideas. Later in the day, the Capricorn Moon asks what can actually be built, scheduled and paid for. Use the morning to think big and the afternoon to make it workable.

Moon trine Jupiter and the Capricorn shift
The Moon sextiles Venus around 1 AM EST, trines Mars around 3:30 AM EST and trines Jupiter around 6:30 AM EST. Those links favor warm replies, open doors and quick action, especially with retrograde Mercury about to end.
After the Jupiter trine, the Moon makes no major aspect before it enters Capricorn, so late morning can feel drifting and easy to distract. Capricorn brings structure back in the afternoon. Judgment is steadier, and practical matters take priority.
