The sky Moon in Libra, then Scorpio from 10.39pm · waning crescent, 3% lit · Mercury retrograde, Venus retrograde, Saturn retrograde. New moon on Monday at 7.02am, two days away.
The late showing, end of the row
Late tonight, at 10.39, the Moon reaches your sign, and the hours before it can feel like waiting outside a door. Spend them on small, plain jobs. Whatever you are feeling will still be there tomorrow, and clearer.

Love
A friend may cancel tonight for the second time, with a reason that sounds borrowed, and you will hear exactly how borrowed. Ask once, by phone and not by text, whether something is wrong between you. Then believe the answer, even if it is dull. People are sometimes simply tired, and some will tell you more when they are ready.

Work and money
If you are quietly looking at other jobs, no one at work needs to know yet, and it can stay that way a while longer. Do the unglamorous part this weekend: rewrite the CV, every date checked, and ring one former manager who would speak well of you. Private plans go better once the paperwork is done.

Body and mind
The cinema suits you tonight: on your own, the late showing, a seat at the end of the row. Two hours in the dark with a story someone else wrote will rest your mind more than an evening of conversation, and you can walk home without having to discuss it with anyone.
If you read nothing else
Ask the friend once, plainly, and believe the dull answer
The sky Moon in Scorpio all day · waning crescent, 1% lit · Mercury retrograde, Venus retrograde, Saturn retrograde. New moon tomorrow, at 7.02am.
One thing finished before tomorrow
Both the Sun and the Moon are in your sign today, the Moon almost dark, a day before it turns new. Endings suit this kind of light. Finish one thing you have been circling, quietly, before tomorrow asks you to begin.

Love
A friendship you have stopped feeding may be on your mind: no row, just a little less each year. Decide today whether it still matters to you. Ring them this afternoon, or stop carrying the guilt of not ringing. Either is honest. Another winter of half-meaning to is not.

Work and money
The file you inherited from the colleague who left in September may still be hiding problems no one has mentioned. You have probably found two already. Write them down tonight, plainly, with dates, and send them to your manager on Monday morning. Noticing a problem is not the same as owning it.

Body and mind
Your shoulders may be carrying the week by evening, up near your ears, where you keep things. Drop them on purpose, three times, with a long breath out. Then bed early, window open a crack: you tend to sleep deepest in a cool room under heavy covers.
If you read nothing else
Ring them or stop feeling guilty; either is honest
And tomorrow, Sunday 8 November
One thing finished before tomorrow. Both the Sun and the Moon are in your sign today, the Moon almost dark, a day before it turns new.
Scorpio reads the room in about four seconds and keeps the findings to itself. It is drawn to what is under the surface: the real reason, the thing not said, the motive behind the polite version. That makes it a superb friend in a crisis and an uncomfortable one to lie to.
It commits completely or not at all, which is why its friendships last decades and its exits are final. The old reputation for jealousy is really about control: what a Scorpio cannot bear is being managed. Told the truth early, it is one of the steadiest people you will meet; handled, it goes very quiet and then it goes.
Scorpio in love
All or nothing, and usually all. Scorpio wants to be let right in and will let you right in once it believes you. Its opposite is not anger but withdrawal: when it stops asking, something has already been decided. Honesty, even unflattering honesty, is what keeps it.
Scorpio at work
Formidable when the work has stakes. Scorpio is the one who finds the discrepancy, sits through the hard conversation and does not flinch at the difficult client. It is bad at office theatre and does not pretend otherwise, which occasionally costs it a promotion it should have had.
Who Scorpio gets on with
Cancer: Both take feeling seriously, so neither has to perform.
Pisces: Understood at depth without a word being wasted.
Capricorn: Two people who say what they will do and then do it.
Leo and Aquarius come at it head-on: one demands the spotlight, the other keeps things breezy, and Scorpio wants neither on the record.
