Astrology of November 2025

This is another dynamic situation that we find ourselves in, as the eleventh month begins and the year staggers toward its end point. Not so much a departure from the previous summer, this November month is rather a continuation. The Libra New Moon from October 21st – that kicked off the lunation cycle that governs November’s first half – features Uranus and Pluto in close trine at the very beginning of their newly resident signs of Gemini and Aquarius, where they stand as strong harbingers for novelty and change. There are other interesting dual-planet combinations that factor into this recent New Moon and are therefore featured this month. The New Moon at 28° Libra, right on the very edge of Scorpio, is square Pluto, and quincunx Uranus in their one-degree trine, bringing them both front and center. Another pairing from the late Libra New Moon is provided by the four-degree conjunction of Saturn and Neptune, with Saturn at 26° Pisces and Neptune at 0° Aries; their midpoint of 28° Pisces being precisely quincunx to the New Moon degree. This amalgamation of antithetical planetary symbols thus again strongly figures in this month’s astrology. Then too, Mars and Mercury are in partile or same-degree conjunction, and on a significant degree as well, namely 20° Scorpio. Mercury is also in tight contra-parallel to Trickster Uranus. With Uranus also in quincunx to the Sun/Moon position, there is in fact a Yod, or “finger of God,” aspect pattern, from Saturn/Neptune and Uranus, focused on the New Moon. This makes this recent lunation all the more poignant and meaningful, applying to both the Libra and the Scorpio signs in this very dramatic New Moon chart that characterizes the November month.

We also find Jupiter and Saturn quite involved with each other, in a close trine for the entire month, since they are each stationing now, Jupiter retrograde, and Saturn direct, so that they in each of their respective signs, are moving slowly or not at all; changing position each day by only a few minutes of a degree. Together these “social planets” refer to the surrounding society and its machinations, and to the way that this area interferes with or contributes to the general wellbeing; yours in particular. This is an area that could deserve special attention this month.

Chiron and Eris also deserve mention, in their close ongoing conjunction at 24°and 25°Aries, especially since this is squared by Jupiter in Cancer, which is stationing retrograde on the 11th, and hence more consequential. Saturn in Pisces stays in trine with Jupiter all month, as described above, adding to this concentration of energies especially in the timing of the month’s lunations. The Eris archetypal characterization of spiritual or feminine warrior in support of soul intention, which I have pioneered in my well-known book, The Tenth Planet, contributes the notion that, in working on our internal wounding this month – the likely residue of early childhood trauma – there are important soul lessons to be gained. This makes logical sense, because it is often the case that inner wounding can distract us from being able to present to the world our most authentic version of who we are. It might be more important than ever to do this work on ourselves, and for ourselves, during this critical monthly cycle.

Mercury and Mars being exactly conjunct in the recent October Libra New Moon, at 20° of Scorpio contributes quite a bit of energy to this particular Mercury Retrograde period, especially since 20° is where Mercury is also positioned at the extreme boundary of its backward motion, arrived at on November 29th, when it stations direct, and is therefore also the opening degree of Mercury’s pre-retrograde shadow period.

The Taurus Full Moon of the 5th is quite a dynamic lunation as well, with the Moon’s ruler, Venus, at 28° of Libra, the focus of another tight Yod from Neptune at 29° Pisces and Uranus at precisely 0° of Gemini. Meanwhile, Gemini’s ruler, Mercury, heading into retrograde, is closely contra-parallel the transformational energies of Pluto, in trine with Uranus. This is – again – quite a stew of archetypal energies and another indication of the immense potency of this month’s astrology.

The Moon’s Last Quarter takes place on the 11th, at 20° of Leo (Moon) and Scorpio (the Sun), as Jupiter turns retrograde in perfect trine with Saturn; Uranus, having backed up out of the Gemini sign to 29° of Taurus, lies in partile sextile with Neptune at 29° Pisces. This is another key lunation and is the lunar phase that noted 20th century astrologer Dane Rudhyar called a “crisis in consciousness.” This as retrograde Mercury conjuncts Mars and closely aspects Venus, additionally indicating, in another way, a shift in the retrograde and in it’s the quality of its introspective energy.

The late Scorpio New Moon makes for another consequential lunation since retrograde Mercury is at this point in perfect conjunction with the Sun and Moon at 28° Scorpio. Mercury’s close conjunction with the Sun, known as its Cazimi, represents a significant moment of clarity in the midst of the retrograde cycle, which is also considered one peak of the entire retrograde, the eye of the storm. That this Mercury- Sun configuration should take place exactly at the New Moon is remarkable and another indication that we are living through unusual times.

The month’s ending week features a grand trine between Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Pisces, and Venus perched at 26° Scorpio, and this might be a somewhat positive and helpful indication as the month winds down and as Mercury also stations direct. All in all, this November month is quite an intense one and reflects the intensity of our current developmental process, on societal and individual levels both. We could say “fasten your seat belts” except that they have likely already been long deployed; and we could also say that this is indeed the fall and winter when everyone needs to stand up and be counted. That message is extremely relevant and cannot be overstated.

This is another somewhat difficult and entirely transformational month, Aries, and one that for you involves partnership and intimacy along the way. The recent Libra New Moon from the final ten days of October sets the stage for the first three weeks of the present month. This took place in your opposite sign, or your relationship sector, and on the edge of Scorpio which signals intimacy issues are also transpiring during an energetic month. Uranus in trine with Pluto is emphasized, as are Neptune and Saturn in their fading conjunction, and all that is quite similar to the outer planet interchanges from recent months. The beat, therefore, in many ways, goes on, and yet with subtle distinctions from the summer. There is also in this November month a focus on Chiron, the Wounded Healer, located in your sign, which indicates a certain degree of painful process which might, nevertheless, lead to greater self-understanding by dint of effort. Your beliefs and values are really on the line. This is a time when acceptance is required of what, for you, is basic truth, along with a maximum of discernment and a sincere attempt to find your own way through. In the middle of the month’s first week, the Taurus Full Moon taking place on Wednesday, November 5th, represents an important moment when issues of self and other can provide valuable clues to your own developmental arc. This is a thoughtful time when your worldview is shifting. Beginning on the 9th, Mercury is in retrograde motion for the remainder of the month, and then not escaping its post-retrograde shadow until December 16th. The Scorpio New Moon of November 19th marks a quite significant juncture and a vital stage in the Mercury Retrograde cycle that in part defines the month. All though, your vocational choices are colored by a spiritual component that might prove confusing in the short run, and yet, with patience, yield life-changing realizations with the perspective of time.


The following was written by our guest columnist Elodie St-Onge Aubut of Ninth House Astrology


Partnerships and collaborations continue to be an important topic as the month of November arrives on the momentum brought forth by the recent New Moon in Libra which highlighted ‘’all things relational.’’ There will therefore be an emphasis on your opposite sign and as well your relationship dynamic over the first three weeks of the current November month, as the Libra lunation cycle winds down. Mars, your ruler, conjunct a slowing Mercury in the New Moon configuration speaks to this month representing a more introspective and reflective stance on personal relationships, issues of intimacy, and partnership agreements. The transformational effects of Pluto in your social sector and Uranus in trine in your sector of communications and learning indicates additional emphasis on the ongoing metamorphosis of the way that you relate to friends and groups that you favor, and as well to future goals that seem to spring up out of nowhere.

Venus is still busy charming her way through Libra as November begins, adding to whatever was brought up in the recent New Moon still operating through the first 18 days of November, and having to do with interdependence and relationship dynamics.

On November 2nd, old battle wounds could be more obvious thanks to Venus in Libra activating Chiron in Aries but this could also be a good opportunity to clear misunderstanding and practice mindfulness in your relationships. Family dynamics could also be emphasized as Jupiter in Cancer forms a square to both Venus and Chiron on the same day, exaggerating desires to be understood especially by the people who are the closest to you.

On November 4th, Mars enters Sagittarius and immediately forms an opposition with Uranus in Gemini which could speed up processes related to travel, education or other types of learning opportunities suddenly putting a magnifying glass on something you thought was in a more distant future.

The Full Moon in Taurus on November 5th shines a light on resources available and more extensively, what you have to work with right now especially if you are trying to implement important changes. It’s a good time to take stock of the benefits or downfalls that come from your associations as Venus prepares to enter Scorpio and form a square with Pluto in Aquarius in the days following the Full Moon. There could be important shifts in your agreements with others brewing and Uranus retrograding out of Gemini and back into Taurus on the 6th and 7th has the potential to re-open something you thought was a done deal.

Mercury turns retrograde in Sagittarius on the 9th and although the temptation to expedite a process could be strong, critical details might need to be addressed before it's all said and done. Take your time to revise the basis of your agreements in the coming weeks, to ensure that everyone is on the same page. Jupiter turns retrograde in Cancer only two days after Mercury is further indication that something may need to be clarified and this could relate to opportunities abroad, travel and education or a living arrangement.

The second half of November brings momentum as the Sun in Scorpio forms a trine with Jupiter retrograde in Cancer on the 16th and Saturn in Pisces on 17th. Emotions and attachments must be addressed and integrated consciously in order to move ahead at this time. A process of sorting out what you want versus what must be surrendered is well underway but first you must be able to locate the thorn.


Mercury retrogrades back into Scorpio on the 18th forming an opposition with Uranus in Taurus. This may reference a sense of spiritual oneness and also the potential for thoughts that fly far away from the actual physical plane, partaking of the numinous, and therefore distract you from the precarities of life. The subsequent New Moon the next day may revive you.

A potent New Moon in Scorpio takes place late on November 19th or early morning on the 20th depending on time zone. A lot is happening surrounding this New Moon as Mercury Retrograde reaches the Sun for its inferior conjunction only a few hours after the New Moon which is also receiving an opposition from Uranus and a trine from Neptune. This moment calls for clarity and resilience amidst the uncertainties of life. The strength associated with the sign of Scorpio is called forth to release the old and face the obstacles that stand in the way of your growth. Whatever feels stagnant in your life may not be sustainable anymore and while the days surrounding the New Moon might be cloudy or vague, the moment of the New Moon itself should clarify what needs to be let go at this time.

The Sun’s entry into the Fire sign of Sagittarius on November 21st will feel like a welcoming breeze and things will lighten up gradually as the Sun travels here in the following month allowing you to broaden your perspective and not feel so restricted.

Personal and professional relationships along with contractual agreements continue to be emphasized under the Mercury Retrograde but a beneficial influence between Mercury, Saturn and Jupiter on the 22nd could bring workable solutions. It may be easier to see eye to eye with your collaborators or partners towards the end of the month.

Saturn turning direct in Pisces on November 27th and Mercury turning direct in Scorpio a few days later on November 29th further emphasizes the need to move forward at the end of the month. Although there may be a few creaks as the wheels as you get moving, these may only serve to emphasize the need to rid yourself of distractions to the extent that you can and keep your eyes locked on the horizon.

This is another month, Taurus, when the outer planet energies that have been so prominent in recent months are still engaged. This implies, for one thing, that the transformation of your career and professional life continues, with a few subtle shifts in this emphasis. There may be a novel way forward that calls to you and this could have overtones that are of a decidedly spiritual nature, or at least along the lines of acknowledging the mystical as an important and often overlooked factor in everything that you do. In this November month’s timing, as well, partnership plays a strong role as you meditate on Scorpio season, that being your opposite sign. Mercury is preparing to retrograde as the month gets started, and actually stations dead still in the sky on the 9th, in your sector of intimacy, personal evolution, and partnership agreements. These are up for introspective review as the month unfolds. As you introspectively mull over your life flow and adjust your personal values, you find these to be more significant than ever. In attempt to see what your own unique ideas have to contribute to your moral compass, it becomes important to get them right – for yourself – to go from strictly what you hold inside. Inner work is also implied in the manifold astrological activity of the month’s first week which includes the Full Moon in your sign on the 5th. This brings issues of self and other to the table, along with continued personal evolution and relationship adjustments, and the remainder of the month carries this theme forward into new dimensions of behavior. Mars, your partnership sector ruler, was directly opposed to Trickster Uranus in the Full Moon timing, indicating that fluctuations for both partnership connection and in terms of your resources and values are more than likely. It is what you do with these internal realizations that really counts.

You may have been feeling the need to find greater equilibrium since the New Moon in late Libra from October and as this cycle continues to unfold over the beginning weeks of November. The strong presence of Pluto at the very beginning of Aquarius, or your career sector, highlighted in this New Moon, indicates that your attitudes toward your work in the world are continuing to morph and change. Perhaps you are sensing that a greater correspondence with your deeper principles and values which you are beginning to take more seriously in recent months could prove telling, and you also sort out your true priorities moving forward. Partners come into this picture and provide much food for thought, even in this very personal area of espousing your own values above all other inputs, as you grow. There is also the need to adjust your habits as you understand more about them. It may be easy for you to fall into a groove whether it relates to pleasure and indulgence or on the contrary to hard work and goal stalking, and not all grooves are fulfilling.

With Venus, your ruler, still transiting in Libra at the month gets underway, you may also feel the need to harmonize your schedule in order to create more space for yourself and for the people you love. You may feel a little bit of tension between how your time is spent versus what you would like to spend it on and a juggling act at work could be catching up with you.

On the 1st and 2nd, Venus forms a T-square with Chiron, the Wounded Healer – in your sector of unconscious process – to philosophical and joyful Jupiter in your place of communications and learning. This can be stimulating you to accept yourself in some relatively dark and hidden areas within your psyche, and to start to heal internal wounding from acknowledgment, acceptance, and letting go of old patterns.

Mars enters Sagittarius on the 4th, and immediately comes face to face with trickster Uranus in Gemini. Stifling agreements that are not leaving you much ‘’leg room’’ could become more obvious now and inner negotiations might be necessary in order to get what you want.

On the 5th The Full Moon culminates in your sign bringing up issues of self and other, and this could this be your opportunity to regroup around your changing desires and recognize that what used to work for you in relationship dynamics may not be working anymore. This Full Moon is the perfect moment to listen to your body and give yourself permission to focus on your wellbeing while at the very same time honor as well your key partners. The Full Moon forms positive aspects to the Lunar Nodes which means that what gets illuminated now is in accord with the natural progression of things so you can evolve according to your inner master plan, trusting the clarity as it is leading you where you are supposed to go.

Venus enters Scorpio on the 6th, re-emphasizing even further your partnerships and collaborations leading to the end of the month. Things could be rumbling in that department and the square between Venus and Pluto in Aquarius on the 6th and 7th could highlight smoldering attractions just as much as complicated power-dynamics in your relationships.

Uranus retrogrades back into Taurus on November 7th where it will remain until April 25th for one last round in your sign where it has been transiting since 2018. Uranus in Taurus for the past eight years could have brought significant changes in your self-concept allowing you to break free from the collective and find your own individual voice. Another good opportunity to take stock of your evolution and where you are at now as this chapter comes to a close.

On November 9th, Mercury stations retrograde in Sagittarius and a day later Jupiter turns retrograde in Cancer which may prompt you to re-assess your communication within your partnerships in some ways in the coming weeks. Creative collaborations could come into focus but make sure you read the fine prints if something sounds too good to be true. Although this period could highlight ongoing exchanges with others, there may be complications or clashes possible, and you could get a hint of that on the 12th when Mercury Retrograde meets with Mars in Sagittarius. Counting to ten or turning your tongue seven times before speaking might be a good strategy for the time being.

A solid rule of thumb during Scorpio Season is to observe and stay quiet and this could come in handy in social circumstances mid-month as the Sun in Scorpio forms supportive aspects to both Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces creating slippery conditions. This could be a case of ‘’the less you say the more you learn’’ but it could also be challenging to keep your cards close to your chest as some may poke and prod you for answers.

The real ‘’pièce de résistance’’ for retrograde Mercury this month is found in the days surrounding the New Moon in Scorpio with first Mercury retrograding back into Scorpio on November 18th, accompanied by Mercury opposing Uranus in Taurus and trining Neptune in Pisces and finally coming into its inferior conjunction with the Sun and the Moon in timing of the New Moon the next day.

The New Moon in Scorpio takes place late evening of the 19th or early morning on the 20th depending on your time zone. This is a super-charged moment which will most likely contain many revelations or insights that could lead to important changes for your life path. For you Taurus, this New Moon is in the sign oppositie to your own, plus perched on the edge of your intimacy sector and opposed to Trickster Uranus late in your sign. Ths brings a powerful energy in your relational sector that demands greater conscious control. You may be challenged to show up more authentically or it could be that someone else requires that you uphold the space for them to express in a more genuine way. There could be surprise events and unexpected revelations surrounding the important partnerships in your life. Whatever takes place around this New Moon is sure to leave a powerful imprint on the way you truly intend to relate with key others in your life.

The Sun’s entry into Sagittarius on the 21st could speed up the pace of things in the coming month so be prepared to maneuver more quickly around what other people are bringing to your table.

Saturn turning direct in Pisces on the 27th is further testimony that situations will be moving forward especially in regards to your dreams and your ambitions after a period of potential delays. Mercury follows suit on the 29th turning direct in Scorpio in your relational sector while Venus in Scorpio forms an opposition to Uranus in Taurus and a trine with Neptune in Pisces before entering Sagittarius on the 30th. When it's all said and done, the month of November could bring significant opportunities to address long standing issues in your partnerships allowing for more authenticity or honesty to emerge.


 

 


This is yet another fairly consequential month, Gemini, as far as outer planet combinations and transits. The recent Libra New Moon set the stage for the current month, and you might note that Trickster Uranus was at that timing in your first or identity sector, at 0° of your sign, and emphasized. This implies that novel ideas are continuing to flow into your conscious and intuitional understanding, and that it pays to stay as open as you can to sudden shifts in circumstances, which may after all proceed from a hidden sense of purpose that the universe is cooking up for you. Sages say that if you are wondering if a thing was supposed to happen around you or even to you, you might ask yourself: did it? and answer your question that way. With Uranus being closely trine Pluto in your higher mind sector, your worldview is additionally in the midst of its own metamorphosis with an unknown outcome. In the month’s first week, the Taurus Full Moon of the 5th is wild, bringing unconscious process closer to the surface layers and the propensity for internal wounding to show up for greater contemplation plus with the potential for healing. To add yet more uncertainty, Mercury, your ruler, is retrograding through your opposite sign beginning on the 9th, implying a weeks-long time of introspection until mid-December regarding the key relationships in your life, including close and valued friendships. Over the course of the next six weeks, you might come to some different way of regarding partners – and their power or significance for you – heading into the holidays. Mercury crosses backward into Scorpio and your house of health and habits in the timing of the late Scorpio New Moon of the 19th, which could therefore prove to be a meaningful juncture for you, and your sense of what partnership truly means in connection with your core life purpose. You might also recognize habitual patterns that have outlasted their efficacy and that are in need of revision and re-animation.

An important cycle began in October with the recent Libra New Moon that emphasized your creativity, your self-expression, and any children you may have or be connected with. What you care about and what you are compelled by your enthusiasm to put out into the world is emphasized along with the activities and projects that bring you joy. Identity is a moving target for you right now and at times, quite suddenly. Your day-to-day situations and your workplace might take on new significance for you as well. Your worldview is steadily shifting in important new directions that have more to do with own deep principles and sense of life purpose. Pleasure can sometimes feel like a loaded concept as our relationship to it is often fraught with guilt in a society that tries to maximize everything that leads to productive outcomes. However, I suspect that you have been increasingly aware of the gap between a labor of love versus your sense of obligation to less enjoyable tasks and that you are beginning to envision more sustainable ways of being with a more inspiring sense of your daily vocational requirement and loving what you do.

Venus is still in Libra at the beginning of November forming a square with Jupiter in Cancer and an opposition to Chiron in Aries. It’s as if the path was laid for you to walk towards a dream but now that it is possible you are having a moment of hesitation. Perhaps you are doubting that the vision is real but rest assured that the indications are clear; progress is not only possible, it is imperative; although you may not fully grasp the extent of what this means until after the end of the year.

Mars entering Sagittarius on the 4th triggers an opposition with Uranus in Gemini hinting at potential negotiations required with a business or an intimate partner before you can see eye to eye. You might feel like branching out on your own entirely although the fruit may not be fully ripped to do so at this time.

On November 5th, the Full Moon lands in Taurus and may be your cue to take some time off to relax, unplug and start doing what you love. It is also an interesting timing to go into your depths for answers to some unknown questions that arise spontaneously within you. As Venus, which presides over this Full Moon, travels in the last degrees of Libra, and Mars is opposite Uranus in your sign, surprise revelations become almost dangerous as you plunge ahead without a safety net. Love, pleasure, ease, harmony, creativity, and the arts are emphasized so let yourself be entertained by yours and other’s imagination.

On the 6th, Venus enters Scorpio forming a tense aspect with Pluto in Aquarius just as Uranus retrogrades back the next day into Taurus or your sector of unconscious process. It may be a good time to address physical and mental stressors especially if these are coming from other people in your life. Focus on what can be changed and let go of the expectation to have everything solved instantly. The solutions will appear in due time.

On November 9th, Mercury turns retrograde in your opposite sign of Sagittarius, or your partnership sector. Perhaps your relationship agreements with someone will need to be revised in the coming weeks. It may be important at this time to read the fine print and go slow, trying to read all the nuances of what is going on. You have a natural tendency with Mercury stationing retrograde to ask more questions than there are easy answers This is especially if you are relying on others for approval or something more concrete. You could feel torn between your autonomy and your reliance on someone else at this time but the process taking place should be clarifying in the long run.

Mercury retrogrades back into the sign of Scorpio on November 18th bringing your daily habits into greater focus as a subject of your meditative inquiry which is one keyword for the retrograde of Mercury. This juncture can also be seen as tied to a growing wonderment of what you are – at base – all about, including your sense of hidden intuitive revelations that tell you true, almost in spite of the machinations of your conscious mind.

The New Moon in late Scorpio takes place in the evening of November 19th or perhaps early on the 20th depending on time zone. This is an important reset in the month for all things related to your health, routines and habits that you might be outgrowing, and also speaks to the influence of important partners on your intuitive next steps forward. You might want to abandon mere logic in the face of powerful messages from the cosmos which might be disguised as persons in your relationship web. With Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune aspecting the New Moon, there may be a need to focus on the broader and more long-term aspects of your work as opposed to obsessing over details. Taking risks may be part of this equation; and this could be especially so if you are looking to get beyond your current patterns and forge new evolutionary territory. Any required adjustments should be more obvious at this time and even easier to integrate than before it, as long as you can stifle any outmoded self-sabotage that could be holding you back.

The Sun enters Sagittarius on November 21st and will start warming up the relational sector of your chart, magnifying partnerships and collaborations in the weeks to come. The Sun forms a sextile with Pluto in Aquarius on the 23rd which may highlight contact with people overseas or in academia that can help you transcend borders and reach beyond familiar territories.

The last week of November may find you busy refining or redefining your work and your output in order to maximize future opportunities. With Saturn in Pisces and Mercury in Scorpio turning direct on the 27th and 29th respectively, the Mercury Retrograde effects will begin to wind down. Venus makes a grand trine with Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces which can bring luck and smooth your way forward. You can expect a few surprises at the end of November and this could be about tying up loose ends before the holidays hit.



This is another consequential month, Cancer, for you and everyone else, with an emphasis on the revolutionary transformation implied by Uranus and Pluto in close and highlighted trine. The recent late Libra New Moon from the previous month strongly affects the first half of this one, with all three outer planets being again featured. Uranus at the very beginning of your twelfth sector of unconscious process and inner work, with Pluto also speaking to your emotional and evolutionary depths, makes for a combined tremendous internal force urging you to take a deep dive into what is going on below the surface layers of your psyche. The vast realm of the Unconscious, as described in Jungian psychology, points the way to this huge and little-understood area of your psyche that can break through to severely influence your day-to-day real-world choices. An effective model might be the outline of an iceberg at sea, with some of it showing above water and yet with most of it invisible. As you are being led to explore your own unconscious process, there is also inner wounding that could easily arise, especially with Jupiter in your sign now, as he stations mid-month, making a close square to a very tight ChironEris conjunction in the tenth or career sector of your chart. This is immediately quite strong and brings much of your conscious thought there after the New Moon of the 19th. It could be that vestiges of early childhood trauma could show up to interfere with vocational choices and with finding your pathway forward into true authenticity. If so, the recipe is to fully accept yourself in these dark places and to provide comfort and healing to the hurt and wounded child hidden within you. There is amazing progress that you can make in this way with inner demons that transform to interior angel presences.

As a Cancer, your home and your family is always on your mind but this lunar cycle which began on the recent New Moon in Libra from October brought with it a fresh incentive to reconnect with your roots in a way that you perhaps hadn’t done in a while. Your foundation directly influences who you can become, what you can accomplish and your ability to envision yourself beyond your current status quo. With Pluto in Aquarius also featured in the recent New Moon, the transformational intensity of your close connections, legacies, or partnership agreements keeps up and might result in major changes. Your intuition is also strong right now, and can tell you true when mere logic might fail, giving you access to the bigger picture when you can see fit to acknowledge it. Jupiter in your sign is also featured in this New Moon and offers a unique opportunity to ease into a new way of being, perhaps considering adapting to the role of a teacher, a mentor to those in your life who need that. There also could be a way to simply acknowledging the wisdom you have accumulated over time.

From the 1st to the 2nd, Venus in Libra forms a square with Jupiter and is opposed to Chiron in Aries. If factors of inner wounding, as symbolized by Chiron, do arise, the recipe there is to apply loving acceptance and reassurance to these hidden and walled off parts of yourself, usually the result of early childhood trauma. As family dynamics change, so does your ability to focus on different goals and this could be a moment of re-evaluation.

Mars in Scorpio forming a trine with Neptune in Pisces on the 3rd could also find you dreaming of new avenues in which to explore your passions. If the sky is the limit then you can dream the impossible. Let your imagination be your guide at this time and be selective with your attention. It could be easier than usual to scatter your thoughts in a million directions. With Jupiter currently transiting in Cancer, make sure to focus on what you want to see expand in your life for growth, is very much the name of the game for you right now.

Mars transiting in Sagittarius starting on November 4th (to mid-December) could boost your desire to get physical. You might find satisfaction in simply moving your body, going hiking or taking a fitness class in the coming weeks so keep that in mind if you find yourself getting restless.

The Full Moon in Taurus culminates on November 5th shining a supportive light on your dreams, your aspirations, and your passions. Jupiter in your sign closely trines Saturn, bringing a sense of responsibility and reminding you of limitations that must always be taken into account along with recent enthusiasm. The opposition of the Moon in your social sector opposed to the Sun in your creativity zone could also serve to remind you that your projects – while they reflect your individual skillsets – also function is a wider area of community, world, and universe. This could be an integrative moment when you can find satisfaction in what you have already accomplished and feel more at ease with your role amongst your peers or in your community.

Venus enters passionate Scorpio on the 6th and forms a square with Pluto in Aquarius on the 6th and 7th which can be a creative aspect if you are willing to explore your desires more deeply. Superficial conversations may be harder to maintain under such skies and as Uranus retrogrades back into Taurus on the same day, it may be synchronistic encounters with others that offer the most satisfaction.

Mercury turns retrograde in Sagittarius on the 9th and will be retrograding back into Scorpio on the 18th, turning direct on the 29th, and finally escaping its post-retrograde shadow of December 16th. The next several weeks you will be reflecting on many things including the wellsprings of your creative impulses, and also could emphasize important dynamics with your children or a desire to involve yourself more actively with your creativity and your passions.

Jupiter also turns retrograde in Cancer on the 11th the same day as the Moon’s Last Quarter. This indicates another turning point in the month, perhaps a reevaluation of your energetic investments to create more space for what you love as the year winds down to its close.

Mid-November could bring some important insights thanks to the Sun in Scorpio forming a Grand Water trine with Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces. This is usually considered an easy aspect albeit easy to miss due to its more positive influence. The temptation could be to simply go with the flow but that is not a bad thing either. The Dalai Lama – who is one of the most famous Cancerians – said: ‘’To be in flow means to be totally absorbed in whatever one is doing at the moment.’’ This flow state could be easier to reach than usual for you at this time so take advantage of this moment to find activities that you love.

On November 18th, Mercury retrogrades back into Scorpio and the shift in the energy could be significant as the New Moon also dawns, the next evening.

The New Moon in late Scorpio lands late evening of the 19th, early morning the 20th for the east coast and Europe. The Sun and Moon conjunct Mercury for one of the most important moments in the entire Mercury Retrograde cycle., emphasizing the introspective mood. This is a super-charged moment in the current month and continues the emphasis on revolutionary breakthrough signaled by Pluto, again featured, along with Uranus and Neptune. Although this can be a challenging time, I think that you are well equipped to deal with the transformational impetus that comes with this New Moon. This period until the end of November brings many opportunities to recommit to what you love, to focus on your creative and romantic life along with any children in your life.

The Sun entering Sagittarius on November 21st will energize the part of your chart that relates to your routine, your health and your habits. Since Mars has already been transiting in Sagittarius for a few weeks you might already be preoccupied with these topics but the Sun here for the next month will help you stick to a plan when it comes to implementing more movements or better habits into your schedule.

On November 27th, Saturn stations direct in Pisces after having been retrograde since mid-July. Saturn will start to retrace territory it has already covered a few times since early 2025 which for you may have something to do with a learning journey you have been on. It may be time to acknowledge that you already know enough and that you are ready to take your skills a step further, and perhaps applies what you have learned into a professional context in 2026. Mercury turns direct in Scorpio on the 29th just a few days after Saturn in Pisces which could further emphasize the path ahead.

Things should feel relatively fluid at the end of November although you may feel a sense of restlessness and a desire to get moving with your goals.

This is another high-octane month as far as outer planets alignments, Leo, indicating that transformation on the relationship front is on ongoing effect. You might be used to the idea by now, but there is an active attempt on the part of your higher self to do better with your relating energy which might even spread to your choice of partners, or at the very least your choice of methods for dealing with them. Social interactions are also subject to this increasingly energetic mandate, so that friendships and groups you favor may display a novel cast of characters, unexpected revelations, or seem to exploit your own uniqueness. The transformational Plutonian archetype, being featured in November’s astrology, could also wind up being applied to other areas: inner work and dealing with unexpected ups and downs in creative projects and your natural self-expression or romantic interests are other strains of developmental evolution. The Taurus Full Moon of the 5th emphasizes career choices and attempting to allow these to stem strictly from your own inner principles and values over and above what anyone else or the consensus has to say about it. This first week of November also sees Mercury’s station to retrograde motion, with Mercury’s meditative and self-reflective cycle lasting through to December 16th when you take its post-retrograde shadow into account. This introspective period consists as well with faulty assumptions and missed connections and takes place in both your creativity sector and, after the Scorpio New Moon of the19th, your sector of home and family. Throughout the month, your fundamental worldview and your understanding of internal wounding blossoms into something that is quite a bit different than it was before the November month began. You are ushering yourself into a new phase that will only really begin to take form after the end of this tumultuous year.


The following was written by our guest columnist Elodie St-Onge Aubut of Ninth House Astrology


You may have felt an increasing desire to relate with your surroundings and connect with others in person since the recent New Moon in Libra from the last ten days of October, which brought a fresh energy – lasting into the first 20 days of November – for the sector of your chart. Associated with communication and learning. The influence of the Pluto and Uranus trine color the Libra New Moon and your current astrology with a revolutionary transformational energy affecting your relationships in an ongoing way along the lines of what has been happening since the previous summer. Mars and Mercury in Scorpio are conjunct in this New Moon as well, and are located in your domestic sector, so that a more brooding influence undercuts the easy-going Libra energy that you may have been expecting. With Mercury getting ready to retrograde later in the month, this could be a thoughtful and reflective time, when you could
find yourself questioning the very foundations of your life and family situation or applying a weather eye to communications issues that have been lurking. Because Neptune and Saturn in combination are also featured in the recent New Moon, a mixture of practical considerations and numinous otherworldly ideas or influences can be a little unsettling philosophically.

Scorpio Season is not for the faint of heart as this sign forces us to confront the underbelly of the world – including what is hidden or taboo – and to shine a light on our unconscious patterns that have much more control over us than we would like to admit. With Venus still transiting in Libra at the beginning of November, you may be feeling inclined to adopt a diplomatic approach for all your dealings, although you may find that what you are wanting to say versus what comes out of your mouth are not really aligned with each other.

Although you may have been feeling more internal than usual these days, Mars entering Sagittarius on the 4th is good news and it could imply you having an easier time for reconnecting with the gregarious side of your personality in the weeks ahead. Mars simultaneously forms an opposition with Uranus in Gemini which may bring unexpected connections or realizations to you or new opportunities to socialize.

You can’t ever fully get away from the spotlight and the Full Moon in Taurus on November 5th shines her light on your public image and your place in the world, contrasting these with private spaces that you are also drawn to at this juncture. There could be something really grounding that comes along with this Full Moon especially regarding the career or vocational path you have been engaged with. There may be a culmination or an intuition as to where you next want to take things, and this could potentially mean being open to collaborating with people who want to support your work.

Uranus retrograding back into Taurus on the 7th could momentarily emphasize the past eight years and your quest to gain greater autonomy in everything that you do. Uranus returns to Gemini in April 2026, which might imply a new era already in the works which for you may relate to bringing your contribution and sharing your unique perspectives more actively in your community.

Mercury turns retrograde in Sagittarius on the 9th and stations to direct motion on the 29th, finally escaping its post-retrograde shadow two and a half weeks later on December 16th. This period is an introspective one, and could bring reflections surrounding your desires and needs and what your spirit and soul craves at this time to feel nourished. Creativity, pleasure, romance, connections versus solitude may be some of the things that are on your mind along with patterns that you may have inherited from your upbringing or from family dynamics that have kept you from reaching for more joy. This deconstruction project is a work in progress, but this month could bring some significant insights regarding your inner workings that allow you to release the grip of the past in some ways.

On the 11th, Jupiter in Cancer stations to retrograde motion, still in close trine with Saturn in your sector of intimacy and partnership agreements. This is an interesting combination, and notable, making you more aware of the way that societal factors are affecting you.

The most significant astrological event this month is probably the New Moon in late Scorpio of the late evening of the19th, which coincides with Mercury reaching the halfway point of its retrograde cycle and forming a conjunction with both the Sun and Moon. Mercury forming a conjunction with the Sun is symbolically thought of as a ‘’moment of illumination’’ and represents one peak of the Mercury Retrograde cycle. The Scorpio New Moon moment could feel like clarity emerging from the depths, receiving a contrasting insight or the ability to see in the dark. What is hidden may not be visible to the eyes, but it could be felt. This New Moon receives a trine from Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn and Neptune in Pisces while also receiving an opposition from Uranus in Taurus further emphasizing the need to have faith in this moment as a necessary passage and surrender into mystery. The feeling of cosmic transformation continues with this significant lunation leading into the December month a few days away.

The Sun entering Sagittarius on November 21st could help to bring out your playful side as it illuminates the part of your chart that relates to creativity, pleasure, and romance. On the 23rd, the Sun forms a sextile with Pluto in Aquarius which may highlight recent changes in your relationship dynamic or a priority shift in what you expect from your partners. You could be content doing your own thing at this time and this self-reliance could prove to be really attractive to others.

Venus in Scorpio is busy at the end of the month forming a conjunction with Mercury Retrograde on the 24th and a trine with both Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces on the 26th, making a momentary grand trine in the sky. You may have to deal with important conversations at home or with a family member around this time as something related to your domestic life may need clarification, or with regard to the surrounding society.

On the 27th, Saturn turns direct in Pisces and Mercury in Scorpio, at 20°, follows suit on the 29th just as Venus in late Scorpio opposes Uranus in Taurus. You could be feeling extra sensitive or vulnerable at this time and must also be aware that the Mercury Retrograde period, with Mercury now standing dead still in the sky, is far from over. The learning factor and thoughtful appreciation of Mercury having retrograded through your fourth or home and family sector will likely be felt through at least the next two weeks as the retrograde slowly unwinds.

This is yet another doozy of a month, Virgo, with outer planets configurations still percolating, and with the additional wild card of the retrograde of Mercury, your ruler, through the home and family sector of your solar chart. The recent late Libra New Moon from the last ten days of October set the stage, and featured Pluto and Uranus in trine which can lead to evolutionary development in several different areas of your life. Your vocational choices in particular are coming alive in novel ways that defy established rules in favor of striking out for something markedly out of line with the past, provided that you have the courage of your internal convictions. Old habits might be ready to make a shift into something quite different from what your previous conceptions would have prepared for. Discernment will be vital for you now as you decide on which beautiful and sudden impulses to drop, and in which to invest your enthusiasm and your energy. Inner wounding may raise its gnarly and difficult head – which yet could lead to unexpected vistas of healing. The Taurus Full Moon of the 5th provides relationship excitement and idealism with also a dash of the practical to keep you grounded. On the 9th, Mercury stations to reverse motion in your root sector, which might throw some unexpected monkey wrenches into your dwelling upkeep or its family dynamics, while the Last Quarter Moon of the 11th signals energy in need of a coalescing direction. The late Scorpio New Moon of the 19th is another potent juncture, one peak of the retrograde period. This New Moon encourages deep introspection about future direction with the caution of not putting all your eggs in one basket, instead staying as open as you can to possibility.

You could be more aware than usual of what you share with others symbolically or literally thanks to the Libra New Moon that took place in October which could have brought you fresh incentive to get clear about your preference for harmonious and fair exchanges. The sign of Libra emphasized also your resources and values, which are also bolstered by the presence of Venus in the second or Libra sector of your chart. You are also looking to make inroads in the articulation of you deepest and most sincere principles and values and as well your learning curve toward new concepts, with Mercury, your ruler, in Scorpio and in conjunction with Mars in the recent New Moon. Pluto and Uranus are also emphasized this month along with the transformational energies represented by their ongoing trine alignment, affecting pioneering new ways of attending to your career choices. With this ongoing lunar cycle emphasizing what you have to work with in terms of resources and more extensively, your values, this could make you more aware as well of any unbalanced dynamics going on in your partnerships. You may generally work well with others, and yet also appreciate having enough space to do your own thing, and this is what could have been more difficult recently. Conversations might have been feeling strained so that expressing your frustrations could continue to be a work in progress in the month ahead.

On the 1st, Mercury, your ruler, at 3 degrees of Sagittarius, is still opposed to Uranus at the beginning of your tenth solar sector, implying that vocational ideas are still coming at fast and furious as November gets underway. Discernment must be applied in order to sort out which of these will be valid and productive for the future and not just a “flash in the pan.” Also in the month’s beginning days, Mars in Scorpio begins to form a trine with Neptune in Pisces and also lies in precise trine to the Neptune/Saturn midpoint, while remaining in fading trine to Saturn and Jupiter in Pisces and Cancer. There could be confusion within your key relationships, so that for example the intentions of someone may seem obscured or confusing or dialogues may feel like you can’t really get your point across, or the depth of what you are trying to say does not match your interlocutor.

Mars enters Sagittarius and opposes Uranus in Gemini on the 4th which could bring more dynamism for domestic and professional matters, although might also be a little dangerous, leading to unanticipated events or realizations that could cause problems if you wind up moving too fast.

The Taurus Full Moon culminates on November 5th and shines a spotlight on the things that bring you comfort or the lack thereof. You may have a ‘’Material Girl,’’ or boy, hiding somewhere ready to come out, and this Full Moon could emphasize a philosophy of leisure or just your fundamental need to balance work with play. Greek philosopher Aristotle wrote extensively on the importance of leisure and argued that when it comes to living well, the quality of our leisure matters more than our work. You could disagree, and yet also be feeling a version of that right now especially if you’ve been putting pressure on yourself to be more productive. Pleasure, beauty, and connection are more often than not the fuel that keeps us going and this Full Moon may allow you to take stock of where and with whom you can have the richest experience.

On November 6th, Venus enters Scorpio and forms a square with Pluto in Aquarius on the 6th and 7th which is your cue to assess your skills and the methods you employ to broadcast your talent into the world. It may be time to reevaluate the techniques and medium you employ and

Mercury moving retrograde starting on the 9th, and lasting to the 29th, and into next month as far as the post-retrograde shadow, could help you find more efficient ways of applying your skills. This Mercury Retrograde may have something to do with creating more space at home or reorganizing your priorities or finding the right community of people that can amplify your hidden skills.

Jupiter turns retrograde a few days later on the 11th, emphasizing its potency. New opportunities may be knocking at your door. You could perhaps also feel that your dreams and schemes or your life your direction could be shifting to make room for unexpected growth. You might need to step back and allow your process to have its way with you. Also, with Mercury newly in retrograde motion, things may not be progressing as fast as you anticipated.

The Sun in Scorpio receives support from both Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces on the 16th and 17th creating a progressive influence for conversations, research, and investigations. It may be easier to get your point across and speak your truth at this point and this could be useful in negotiations or if you need to present your ideas to a group of people.

Mercury retrogrades back into Scorpio on the 18th. leading to

The New Moon lands in Scorpio late evening of the 19th, or very early morning the next day depending on time zone. This may bring an important reset in the communication sector of your chart. Your vision of the world and what is possible could be changing and with that, comes a whole different way of relating with others. Mercury in Scorpio reaches the halfway point of its retrograde cycle on the New Moon which means more clarity available but with Uranus in Taurus opposing the New Moon, you may have to trust your intuition more than your reason at this time to access these intuitive insights. It might be one of those instances where you have to break free of a longstanding worldview in order to shift your perspective and access a different framework or change the way you have been looking at things entirely.

The Sun enters Sagittarius on the 21st gradually illuminating your domestic and family life in the month ahead. You might feel a sense of inner restlessness especially if things have been stagnating more recently but there may also be more opportunities now to get moving and change dynamics at home.

The way you communicate and share your ideas may continue to be emphasized until the end of November as Venus conjunct Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio on the 24th and trine Jupiter and Saturn on the 26th. Personal or sensitive matters may need to be expressed in order to understand them better or it could simply be that an honest conversation needs to happen to clear the air at this time.

By the end of the month, Saturn in Pisces turns direct on the 27th while Mercury turns direct in Scorpio on the 29th. Although the last few days of November may initially feel chaotic, the insights and revelations emerging around this time could clear the way for progressive changes to be implemented in the upcoming weeks.

This is another strange and consequential month, Libra, with outer planet energies still strongly configured, implying that the ongoing transformational intensity of these fractious times is not yet abating, and with a mid-month retrograde of Mercury through the signs of Sagittarius and Scorpio, which might also give you pause as the holidays approach and the year begins to wind down. Pluto, once again highlighted as the month begins, and residing in your fifth house, signals continued metamorphosis in the areas of creative self-expression and what gives you joy, including any children you might have. Important projects and the way you conduct yourself with regard to these areas may be a shifting landscape heading into the mid-week Taurus Full Moon of October 5th. This Full Moon also features a Yod of “finger of God” aspect pattern focused on your ruler, Venus, which indicates that issues of self and other could predominate at this timing. With Uranus emphasized in your higher mind sector involving beliefs and worldview, novel ideas and unexpected revelations could also accompany this lunation. There is an idealized vision of your partnerships that might alternately hold sway and then suddenly yield to limitation and practicality as your understanding shifts. This applies to connections that are both business and personal. Mercury retrograding through your communications sector beginning on the 9th might also indicate an introspective timing when your opinions are not so freely stated but rather are held in reserve to “wait and see” what might eventually emerge from this powerful collision of astrological currents. Perhaps lasting through to mid-December, there is a spiritual component to relationship connection that serves you well especially when you can look before you leap into anything unplanned. The late Scorpio New Moon of the 19th represents another powerful juncture, when some clarity might be derived. This even as the Mercury Retrograde period is in full swing and when, therefore, it is important to take things even slower and to expect potential mis-communication.

The New Moon in Libra that took place in October opened a new cycle of growth related to your overall outlook which may have started prompting you to reframe your perspective on what is possible for you at this time. Having a positive mindset may be part of the equation this month, especially if you are dealing with tedious chores, logistical issues or simply reassessing what you have to work with in general. Keeping your eyes on the big picture could go a long way in helping reframe your current responsibilities and you may be aware of which collaborations are helping versus deterring you from your goals at this time. The recent New Moon also highlighted Pluto and Uranus transiting your sectors pf creativity and higher mind concerns, which continue to be in a state of flux and metamorphosis, as they likely have been since the beginning of the summer. This is indeed another thoughtful month when you could be mulling over what your true beliefs actually are. There is in some ways a fresh breeze blowing through your mind that you do well to heed, even though abandoning previous habits of thought might feel a little edgy. Intuitional information that might run counter to previous conceptions is actually an important life factor for you at the moment and can bring you to novel and exciting mental places if you let it.

On November 1st and 2nd, Venus aspects Chiron, the Wounded Healer. While Venus transiting in Libra at the beginning of the month could help smooth out relational dynamics, her opposition to Chiron in Aries and square with Jupiter in Cancer could emphasize factors of inner wounding that could have been lurking and prevented the truest expression of your relationship approach. If you have been being more of a pleaser than your sense of yourself would like to admit, than it might be time for a change. When you try to please everyone, you very often end up pleasing no one, not even yourself. Opinions and advice are easy to give but hard to follow and your best bet may be to stay connected to what your intuition is telling you without taking in too much of the ambient noise.

The Full Moon culminates in Taurus on November 5th, illuminating shared resources along with business or intimate partnership agreements. Issues of self and other could additionally emerge, with new factors on existing struggles you might be having with inner wounding. There could be mystical realities that you are trying to adhere to, or there could be confusion or misrepresentation to deal with, or, on the other hand, deceptions unmasked. Perhaps an alliance may have run its course and it could be time to cut your losses so you can make room for new prosperity to flow into your life. Communication counts and could help with any partnership concerns you might be having. There may be a necessary transformation that is well underway, and you could be feeling the significance of this moment in helping to smooth this along.

Venus enters the deep waters of Scorpio on November 6th and forms a square with Pluto in Aquarius from the 6th to the 8th which may further emphasize the potent changes currently at play. Desires run deep under such transits, and you may feel an imperceptible yet powerful drive to move towards what you want. An arrangement you have with someone or negotiation you thought was done may come back for revision as Uranus pays one last visit to Taurus from November 7th to April 26th, 2026. You may have to contend with a certain amount of unknown coming from someone close to you for the time being but this volatility should feel relatively familiar by now.

Mercury turns retrograde in Sagittarius on the 9th, introducing a somewhat meditative and introspective mode. You are still involved in the transmutation of your values, perhaps even more so. Even though it is difficult to predict, there is a certain aura of succeeding in the physical world that you might be bringing to the table right now, although the details could change as the retrograde begins to wind down in its retrograde shadow after the end of the November month. It may be hard to know where things are heading as the path ahead may not be completely clear, but you must keep your hands on the steering wheel regardless, even though it might in future change shape as you move ahead into the unknown.

Keeping a positive attitude could ensure that you see the opportunities contained in this moment and avoid getting stuck in a limited framework.

Jupiter turns retrograde in Cancer on the 11th, in chime with the Last Quarter Moon at 20° of Leo. Mercury Retrograde is really cooking, giving you mentally active fits of newfound knowledge, from the inside. Jupiter and Saturn in close trine bring the social system that surrounds you closer, in a way, as you absorb its deeper connection to your own life and spirit. Mercury Retrograde forming a conjunction with Mars in Sagittarius could bring in a rogue factor that you hadn’t considered, perhaps through a conversation someone. Keep in mind that things could take longer to develop right now as Mercury in retrograde can be a time of meditation and re-evaluation. Nonetheless it may be good to consider the options being presented to you at this juncture.

Mercury retrogrades back into Scorpio on the 18th and its opposition with Uranus in the last degree of Taurus could bring surprises or sudden intuitive reflections that illuminate an entirely different side of some particular question.

A potent New Moon occurs in the sign of Scorpio on the late evening of the 19th or early on the 20th, depending on your time zone. The New Moon receives a supportive influence from Saturn and Neptune in Pisces along with Jupiter in Cancer which brings a progressive aura for all things related to your work, your goals and what you can gain by applying your curiosity to your situation. Mercury Cazimi with the Sun in this New Moon is very strong, and clarity could be available to help you let go of some life concept that has been stagnating for too long or a business arrangement that has run its course. Uranus in Taurus forms a close opposition to the New Moon further emphasizing the reset that may be necessary for you to unlock greater opportunities and allow more flow into your life. Although it could feel like some big decisions are needed, there are many indications that what is being surrendered at this time is on its way out anyway – and that this release on your part has the potential to create a lot more room for growth heading into 2026.

The Sun enters fiery Sagittarius on the 21st emphasizing communications and learning of all kinds in the month ahead. Although there are still plenty of planets moving through Water signs now, the Sun in Sagittarius could help broaden your perspective, bringing in fresh ideas and a joyous feeling of survival that may help you remediate what feels overwhelming or overly stagnant.

Your ruling planet Venus transiting in Scorpio is quite busy during the last week of November forming a conjunction with Mercury Retrograde on the 24th, a trine with Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces on the 26th, an opposition with Uranus in Taurus on the 29th and finally a trine with Neptune in Pisces before entering Sagittarius on the 30th. You may be prompted to handle financial matters in a way that can better serve your long-term goals, and this could require breaking free of an arrangement you have with someone. It could also be that what you attribute worth to is changing considerably as this time and a process of realignment is well underway. Prioritizing growth could come with some difficult decisions but there is an element of trust required to move through this moment.

Saturn turns direct in Pisces on November 28th as Mercury turns direct in Scorpio on the 29th which may require a few more juggling acts to make things happen. Transformation and new spiritual horizons are in this picture. You may have to trust that all your inner work is leading you towards more ease and simplicity in the near future as you get a glimpse of what is going to be setting yourself up for success.



This is a transformational and emotionally productive month for you, Scorpio, with the continuing featured presence of Pluto at the very nadir of your solar chart, affecting your home and family sector with further change. The recent late Libra New Moon from October that took place at the edge of your sign has signaled revision and further exploration of both, on the one hand, identity and ultimate purpose, while on the other, the depths of your being in more deeply unconscious hidden layers within your psyche. It also seems that new dimensions of intimacy and personal evolution are also favored in this November timing. Over the course of a month that is sometimes difficult and at times triumphant, relationship with important others will be a significant and evolving part of your personal developmental journey. You are also conceivably dealing with inner wounding that may arise to haunt you, and which could also yield to a concerted effort of your part consisting of surrender, acceptance, and self-love. Decisions and actions that you take in a positive way at this timing may prove pivotal and, in this way, last you a very long time. The Taurus Full Moon of the 5th brings up for you to contemplate fresh issues of self and other, and also might signal a sudden left turn on matters of identity that you have been mulling over. Mercury’s station to retrograde motion on the 9th further shifts the energy toward an introspective and meditative period. You could be reviewing and potentially revising your values and finances, perhaps the meaning in general of materialism versus a more free-flowing set of ideals to meditate on for eventually moving forward. This mid-month is an unusual timing in that, while you are all for powerfully transformative idealized vision, there is also an awareness of obstacles and limitations hindering such an approach. The New Moon in your sign of the 19th is in its own way a quite significant juncture, one peak of the Mercury Retrograde period, when you are seeking greater clarity as all these matters come further to a head.

Astrologers often associate the sign of Scorpio with a natural talent for psychological insights and the ability to unearth what is hidden deep in the unconscious realms. Although this may be true when it comes to understanding other people, when it comes to understanding yourself, you may at times be left wondering what it is that you truly want. There a is a strong drive for internal transformation revealed in the recent Libra New Moon which took place in late October and influences the first half of November. This was a potent and innovative energy for change. November might be emphasizing the more paradoxical side of your nature, the one that wants to hold on tightly to the status quo anti, and yet completely transform. Inner wounding, which comes up for you this month as well, might be an important part of this to the extent that you acknowledge it. Of course, you may be well aware that there is no way to invite change into your life without releasing the old. November still could find you sitting on the edge of your seat, holding on to a dead or dying set of principles and habits with one hand and reaching for the exit door with the other.

This is also a month of great depth of feeling and of reaching for new understanding about your true nature and life direction. Change is hard and there are so many unknown factors that cannot be controlled; this month may continue to bring insights regarding your own motivations and what you truly want which most likely also has something to do with more love and self-acceptance.

On the 1st and 2nd, Venus in Libra symbolizing inner work is opposing Chiron in Aries and squaring Jupiter in Cancer; and this could emphasize a healing journey you have been on and how much your mental and physical well-being are interconnected. If inner wounding does arise you have the choice of attempting to bury it, and put off dealing with hidden aspects of yourself that are calling for your acknowledgement, or else with getting on with it as best you can, reaching out to your hurt places with loving recognition and acceptance.

On the 4th, Mars in your sign forms a trine with Neptune in Pisces before entering Sagittarius and directly opposing Uranus in Gemini. This is a volatile and somewhat risky moment in the month’s first week, when surprising events and unexpected revelations are more than possible, and when there is much to gain from your intuition.

The Full Moon in Taurus that takes place on November 5th is in some ways one of the biggest Moons of the year as it culminates while orbiting closest to the Earth. This Full Moon creates a focus on issues of self and other, so that your very partnership dynamic could come up in your thinking and feeling for your review and reassessment. The Full Moon could magnify your desires for safety and stability in your relationship along with your internal need for changing up certain habitual patterns in regard to others that may have reached a point of transformation. It may be easier to connect with what you truly want by letting go of preconceptions and staying right there in the moment with your feelings.

Venus enters your sign on the 6th and will be moving through Scorpio from the 6th to the 30th which could solidify your commitment towards an important change in the coming weeks along with feeling more confident in yourself while yet taking a more honest look at what you really want.

On November 6th, also, to the 8th, Venus now in your sign forms a dynamic square with Pluto in Aquarius, further emphasizing the changes and transformations you may feel compelled to make. There also may be a secretive element to your changes at this time.

On the 7th, Uranus retrogrades back into Taurus where it might be finalizing a chapter that began years back, perhaps around 2018. In the months before Uranus officially re-enters Gemini in late April of 2026, some of this old energy could come up. Uranus in Taurus for the past several years could have brought a certain amount of unpredictability in the realm of your relationships which may have nudged you into finding your own center of gravity as opposed to relying for stability on others. Now that his transit of this sector has returned, Uranus is in retreat from recent bold new territory, and you could leaning in on what you have learned so far about autonomy.

Mercury turns retrograde in Sagittarius on the 9th which may emphasize reflections on your own values versus what distracts you from the standpoint of consensus thinking or peer pressure. You are likely in a more internal mode and reviewing or revising your approach in many different areas. Mercury stations to direct motion on the 29th and finally escapes its post-retrograde shadow on December 16th. All during that time, you are more introspective and only part way into inhabiting the everyday “real” world. Joyous and expansive Jupiter is highlighted now as well and could indicate a swing toward the philosophical as you meditate on where your life might be taking you.

On the 11th, Jupiter follows suit, turning retrograde in Cancer, on the same day as the Moon’s Last Quarter at 20° of Leo. This impacts your career sector, and likely throws you a few curveballs in the lunar phase that Dan Rudhyar referred to as a “crisis in action.” The Sun in Scorpio also trines Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces so there is tons of energy and an interest in what is happen all through the society that surrounds you. The Mercury Retrograde also gets a boost from its conjunction with Mars, your traditional ruler. This could be the most excited you will get from the interior viewpoint of the retrograde in advance of the climactic New Moon late in your sign of the following week.

On the 17th, Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius forms a trine with Pluto in Aquarius, bringing up further transformational pressure. This before Mercury re-enters Scorpio backward on the 18th in preparation for its meeting there with the Sun and Moon.

Another powerful New Moon arrives in your sign the late evening of November 19th, which could be after midnight and so the 20th for the east coast and Europe. The Sun, Moon, and Mercury are all in the same degree of your sign, representing one peak moment in the entire retrograde period. Mercury reaches the heart of the Sun and Moon as they meet in Scorpio which signals the halfway point of its retrograde cycle. This Mercury Cazimi moment is rather remarkable for coinciding with the New Moon. This moment may bring significant clarity about what you want, and this New Moon is like a seed form for a powerful rebirth that honors not only your desires but also your body, your values, your creative impulses and where you want to take things in the coming months. The New Moon in your sign is supported by Saturn and Neptune in Pisces along with Jupiter in Cancer while receiving an opposition from Uranus in Taurus inaugurating a powerful reset in your sign. There is a place as well for spiritual commitment; Saturn and Neptune remain in a four-degree conjunction with each other, the midpoint of 27° being closely trine the Sun, Moon, and Mercury in Scorpio. This brings an unusual opportunity for a mingling of spiritual feelings from beyond the physical and also the practicality of these being brought down to earth and informing the real.

On November 21st, the Sun enters Sagittarius which activates the part of your chart that relates to your values and resources. The Sun coming off of a direct opposition with Uranus implies that internal values which are yours alone and derived intuitively could have lately been in serious flux. Mercury Retrograde is coming off of a strong trine with Neptune in Pisces, and is even foggier than what is normal during this period. The Sun is also sextile to Pluto in Aquarius from the 22nd to the 23rd insuring that the transformational beat will still go on. From the perspective of Sagittarius Season things might look quite a bit different than they did at the starting point of the retrograde.

Venus in Scorpio forms a conjunction with Mercury Retrograde on the 24th, in a simultaneous trine with Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces, stationary in the sky. Venus makes an opposition with Uranus in Taurus that is exact on the 29th before entering Sagittarius on the 30th. This is a sequence that may have become familiar to you from happening, also, this past month as the Sun, Mars and Mercury in Scorpio transited there. Although there are many times you circle around the same question – the answer might not always stay the same; what is being held too tightly must be released to make room for growth and you may have to get out of your comfort zone and try something new before you can really see what you are capable of.

Mercury turns direct in Scorpio on the 29th which may still feel a little bit chaotic as the retrograde symptoms gradually wind down. You might want to keep in mind as you make your plans for next month that you are entering into a new post-retrograde reality by December 16th.

This is another month, Sagittarius, when outer planet combinations predominate, indicating transformative inner work that still goes on. As the month begins, Uranus is highlighted and placed at the very beginning of your opposite sign, indicating that there is a level of fresh novelty and intuitional revelation at work within your key relationships which could lead to unexpected changes there in one direction or another. Pluto also lies in close trine with Uranus, which might remind you of the rebellious and changeful 1960s, when they were conjunct, and is located in your sector of communication, curiosity and learning. It could be that you are beginning to recognize some serious alterations in the way that you articulate your innermost principles and for how you get your point across. Your stated principles and values come up for your more conscious attention as well over the course of this month and you may find that things go better when these are seen as fully independent from leftover early conditioning or modes of consensus thinking, instead emanating from strictly your own unique way of seeing things. Right from November’s start, you are drawn to the interior places behind your mind, buried deep within your unconscious process. This area is difficult to access – although your nighttime dreams can give you clues – and yet constitutes a vitally important factor strongly affecting your wellbeing. Due to the prominence of Chiron, the Wounded Healer, in close conjunction with Eris in the recent late Libra New Moon, being squared within a quarter of a degree by Jupiter, your ruler, located in your sector of intimacy and personal evolution, it’s possible that old issues from childhood could arise, perhaps in the context of connection with important others in your life. If so, these residues of early childhood trauma could be up for greater conscious acceptance by you and eventual healing. Jupiter stations retrograde on the eleventh, which magnifies his impact and brings all this home. Mercury begins on the 9th its weeks-long retrograde period, starting in your sign, conjunct Mars there, initiating as this climactic year winds down, a potent time of introspective questioning of everything that you are up to, including your sense of your very identity.

Partnerships of all kinds could be in a state of flux as this month according to the recent October New Moon which governs the first 18 days of this November month. This took place late in the sign of Libra signaling that relational dynamics and interpersonal partnerships are not only emphasized now but also energized and reevaluated. With Uranus being highlighted and also at the very first degree of the Gemini sign, your relationship sector, there could continue to be surprises there, or startling revelations that come to play a role in your growing understanding of your relational dynamics. People or issues might come along that are quite new, and you will have to make a determination as to how long they might last or continue to be important. Your social sector is being activated in this same timing which implies that for the first half of November, you may be quite busy either networking or keeping your end of a bargain with a partner although this effort might lead to issues that you did not know that were there within you, lurking. If inner wounding does indeed come up, your recognition and acceptance of walled-off or long-buried places within you can go a long way toward healing.

On the 1st and 2nd, Venus in Libra comes into her opposition with Chiron in Aries plus a simultaneous square with Jupiter in Cancer. This could mean that things could get stirred up on the social and interpersonal front, especially for members of your sign. Venus has been offering social grace and diplomacy but her ability to do that is somewhat confounded during this brief transit. The good news is that when inner wounding arises you can make serious progress in healing these types of issues, based on unresolved childhood trauma, by taking deliberate advantage of the opportunity to dig down into what they stem from, and how to be more accepting of your internal dark places.

Mars in Scorpio forms a trine with Neptune in Pisces on the 2nd and 3rd before it enters your sign on the 4th, forming a close opposition with Uranus in Gemini. This latter is an important moment because of the possibility of sudden impulse derailing the peace train. You will want to exercise good judgment throughout this entire transition. The Neptune factor could reference escapism, over-idealism, confusion, deception on the part of others or from yourself, and yet is also a beautiful blending of archetypes when encountered with grace and a loving acceptance that not everything is logical.

On the 5th, the Full Moon culminates powerfully in Taurus stimulating the part of your chart that relates to your health regimens, daily routines, and your workplace, and could represent the perfect opportunity to reassess your habitual behaviors at every level. If you have been consciously investing in your wellbeing, this Full Moon could find you reaping the rewards. There is also in this Full Moon configuration the powerful presence of Mars in the very beginning of your sign directly opposed to Uranus, so that surprises continue to be more likely than not. This juncture is a good time to beware of going all in on impulsive momentary ideas and yet the energy is there for new beginnings in self-realization, or with regard to partners, if that is what is ready to be happening. If you’ve been having a difficult time managing your stress or establishing good habits, this could be your cue to take a step back and re-evaluate your priorities in the way of taking better care of yourself. You may need to find your proper equilibrium between play and work, self and other, or fun versus duty.

Mars in your sign forming a sextile with Pluto in the Full Moon timing perfecting on the 6th could bring on more dogmatic or even combative communications. This is therefore another thing to try to be more aware of and to temper with good judgment. You might have to be mindful of trying to convince others of your point of view; and yet, on the other hand, your powers of persuasion could be magnified if you can use them wisely.

Venus moving into Scorpio on November 6th additionally forms a square with Pluto, lasting a day or two, into the 8th, highlighting power-dynamics of all kinds that could be taking place on an unconscious level. It might be harder than usual to see things objectively, and it may be a good moment to think twice before saying something you could regret later. This might be especially so right now as communication planet Mercury is very much slowing getting ready to turn retrograde.

Mercury begins its retrograde period in your sign on November 9th. It will be moving backward, entering Scorpio on the 18th, until the 29th when it stations to direct motion. The symptoms of retrograde Mercury, introspection, missed connections, and mechanical breakdowns, will not immediately let up, and will gradually fade over the following two and a half weeks, with Mercury escaping its post-retrograde shadow on December 16.

Jupiter, your ruler, follows suit and turns retrograde in Cancer on November 11th in the part of your chart that relates to business and intimate partnerships. It could be difficult to really know what someone else is thinking or what their intentions are right now but you may have to avoid jumping to conclusions as so many unknown factors are still in the works at this time.

From the 11th to the12th, Mercury Retrograde in your sign forms a conjunction with active and energetic Mars. This could spark further reflections and mental review that you may be having regarding your creativity or your passions. With plenty of drive for expressing yourself, you can also be very convincing about your opinions now, perhaps overly so; it may be hard to avoid being dogmatic with accepting only your own point of view. Keeping that in mind might allow you to find a positive and more balanced outlet for any ongoing frustrations that might surface.

The third week of November could be productive for things that need to happen in terms of inner work, leading to Mercury retrograding back into Scorpio on the 18th. Sorting out your priorities at home, in your domestic life, and spending time alone could be just what the doctor ordered. You may have to give yourself permission to step back from a lead role for a moment in order to take a breather, go inside, and double-check your safety net.

On the 19th, a powerful New Moon in Scorpio takes place in your soul sector and demands that what is unconscious be made more conscious. This also affects your own evolving sense of identity. This is as well a peak moment in the Mercury Retrograde period of time when Mercury is at the heart of the Sun. You might be making clarifying adjustments in the way you think about yourself. The retrograde in Scorpio is at the halfway point offering illumination for patterns that need releasing and it may be easier to see what is usually invisible to you. A new cycle begins now relating to your inner/outer amalgamation and blending. You might for example find that certain addictive behaviors – perhaps deeply ingrained – could be interfering with your sense of your own authenticity and begin to seek better ways to deal with your stress and frustrations.

After the potent late Scorpio New Moon, Mercury continues its retrograde motion, moving backward through your sector of unconscious process and inner work continues this dedication to inner exploration – sparked by the New Moon configuration as well – over the remaining ten days or so of November.

The Sun moving into your sign beginning on the 21st could feel like a gradual relief coming your way. Sagittarius Season kicks off with a positive vibe in that Mercury Retrograde, now at 25° Scorpio, lies in a tight grand trine with Jupiter at 24° Cancer and Saturn at 25° Pisces. This could bring up a fruitful combination of luck, freedom, and yet also limitations and lessons within your thought processes and involving important partnerships in your life, since both your vocational and your relationship sectors are ruled by Mercury. As the November month begins to close, you might be finding yourself reflecting on the connection between these sectors, perhaps how your work depends in part on your partnership connections to thrive, for example, or how you met someone that is currently close to you through career experiences. In any case, you will probably continue in this introspective mode through the station of Mercury to direct motion a week later, and the gradual winding down of the two weeks of the post-retrograde shadow period lasting into December.

In the month’s final week, Saturn turning direct in Pisces on the 28th might be further good news for you, this time regarding things related to your home and domestic matters. If you’ve had to put a pause on something that began earlier this month, be prepared for momentum to return by some point past mid-December. Mercury stationing direct in Scorpio on the 29th is another slow time, since the messenger planet will be literally standing still in the sky at that juncture, although things may be about to get moving faster in the following month. Even so, you might have to continue to make peace with things not being exactly the way you want them.

This is another month, Capricorn, when potentially transformationally energies symbolized by outer planet alignments are extremely active. The net result for you might involve the continuation of ongoing shifts to your sense of your most cherished principles and values, your resources, including finances, and your relationship to the material world in general. Relationship situations are also emphasized. It is also possible that long-buried vestiges of inner wounding will surface and become focal points for recognition, acceptance, and healing. There is a spiritual horizon that has been looming in your life in various ways, and that could also be coming to a head in November. This is indicated by Jupiter joining in close trine with Saturn, your ruler, lasting the entire month. There is also to be considered Saturn’s potent conjunction with Neptune, still prominent in this November month as well. This affects your communication style, which might come more readily partake of not only what is practical, as usual with members of your sign, but also of what is beyond the physical. Your friendships, groups you favor, and your longtime future goals additionally come into play this month, especially noticeable in the timing of the powerful Taurus Full Moon of November 5th. The following weekend, on the 9th, Mercury stations to retrograde motion in your sector of unconscious process and inner work, so that you are introspectively pulled to meditate on all that is going on within you – involving your social scene and your partnerships – for the next several weeks; the coda of the post-retrograde shadow period does not end until mid-December. The late Scorpio New Moon of the 19th represents one peak moment of the Mercury Retrograde period, ushering in revised viewpoints deep within you for many life factors as you continue to evolve.

Your talent as a leader and a partner could be emphasized these days thanks to the November’s lunar cycle which started with the recent New Moon in Libra from October. This could indicate an extreme focus on your career choices and their implications for your life in general going forward, involving those dealing with important others. There also the ongoing transformation of your values and resources, including your financial ones, stemming from the presence in that sector of Pluto, highlighted this month, and additionally a set of sudden changes or realizations in the area of your sense of service to others, and to your true life mission. Saturn, your ruler, still conjunct Neptune at the edge of your home and family sector implies a degree of uncertainty or confusion in this area that might be able to be resolved with concerted effort. Because Jupiter is in close square – as well – with Chiron, the Wounded Healer, there is also the potential for inner wounding to come up in regard to your home situation, or with your dwelling. One saving grace in all this might be intuitional information that seems to come to you almost unbidden, and yet can tell you the truth if you can remain open to the possibility of a helpful message arriving in this way.

As a Capricorn, your diplomatic skills typically hide an extremely ambitious nature; people who know you well understand that although you may appear as gentle as a lamb. As the saying goes, catching more flies with honey than with vinegar could be another secret to your success at this time.

On November 1st and 2nd, Venus in Libra forming an opposition with Chiron in Aries and a square with Jupiter in Cancer could bring up insecurities but there could also be an opportunity for closure. Complex relational dynamics are now emphasized so that it might be good to write things down or talk things through with a close friend to process what’s on your mind.

On the 4th, Mars in Scorpio forms a trine with Neptune in Pisces before entering Sagittarius and opposing Uranus in Gemini which could bring tension to the surface if you don’t have a positive outlet to channel it. Mars with Uranus in tight opposition like this is a somewhat dangerous aspect – especially if there is a lack of impulse control. This early November week is a good time to recognize that you cannot always count on every sudden idea being a good one.

The Full Moon land is Taurus on November 5th culminating in the part of your chart that relates to creativity and self-expression as well as romance, pleasure, and more extensively, any children you may be in connection with. This Full Moon relates to key projects, with additional focus on their reception in the wider community to which you belong. This powerful lunation could also emphasize your desires to just go out and have fun and it might be a wonderful moment to let your passions and your epicurean side take the lead. Your creativity may be highlighted or even celebrated, so it pays not to hide your talents and rather to let the world benefit from your creative and enterprising spirit.

Venus enters Scorpio on the 6th, and this could bring attention to your social circles with an emphasis on connecting up with interesting people and venues. Venus forming a square with Pluto in Aquarius from the 6th to on the 8th brings transformational change to your relationships and to your partnering dynamic in general. This also could be your cue to get out of the beaten path. You could feel a stronger pull towards unusual subcultural trends and communities that are innovative in some ways.

Mercury turns retrograde in Sagittarius on the 9th and relational dynamics along with your coping mechanism around them could be emphasized in some ways during this period although you may prefer to ignore something to which you have no answers for the time being. There is an introspective mode that you find yourself in, perhaps specifically about inner work or your social setup, including friends and groups that you favor. Your goals could also be coming into question over the next five to six weeks. You may prefer to keep yourself busy but you might also need to slow down and smell the flowers.

On the 11th, Jupiter station retrograde, becoming more potent and simultaneously squaring Eris in Aries and also Chiron. You could be meditating on your pathway forward and any stand that you might be taking for a better world, and inner wounding might again come up, for examination and healing. As Mercury forms a conjunction with Mars in Sagittarius on the 11th and 12th, there is a ton of energy for these considerations. This may emphasize any inner restlessness stemming from unresolved conflicts.

Mercury retrogrades back into Scorpio on the 18th and the aura of your reflective process there might similarly shift.

The New Moon in late Scorpio takes place on the late evening of November 19th, or early on the 20th, depending on time zone. This is a potent lunation and sends a powerful reset for the part of your chart that relates to your visions, your aspirations and your connection to friends and communities. Mercury reaching the halfway point of its retrograde cycle at this same timing, being exactly conjunct the Sun and Moon, indicates that insights or clarity is available and for you it may have something to do with inner work on yourself, plus your social milieu and the future goal that inspires you the most. Jupiter in Cancer along with Saturn and Neptune in Pisces are forming supportive aspects to this lunation which may emphasize inspiring dialogues and collaborations that could be in the works. Uranus in Taurus opposing the New Moon creates surprising scenarios and unexpected new ideas and could also your cue to let your creative impulses lead the way.

The Sun enters Sagittarius on the 21st which may be your opportunity to reassess all that you are holding inside yourself. Symbolically, it’s the end of a yearly cycle for you, based on your birthday, and a good moment to be taking stock of your overall direction.

Venus in Scorpio is quite busy during the last week of November forming a conjunction with Mercury Retrograde on the 24th, a grand trine with Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces, plus connecting with Neptune on the 26th.

On the 29th there is a Venus opposition with Uranus as she shifts signs into Sagittarius. This sequence may emphasize vocational collaborations that are in the works along with creative projects. Inspiration could arrive based on conversations you are having with a range of people and you could also benefit from exposing yourself to various art forms, music and culture in general.

Towards the end of the month as well, something could be taking off or become more tangible as both Saturn in Pisces and Mercury in Scorpio turn direct. Whatever is simmering at this time should feel exciting even if the shape of it is not clearly defined. Mercury gradually sheds the symptoms of its retrograde period over the next two and a half weeks of December.

This is another high intensity month for you, Aquarius, and this time centered around your vocational sector – associated with the Scorpio sign – and as well that of your higher mind, beliefs and worldview. Additionally, the transformational emphasis on Pluto, lord of death and rebirth, has not gone away, because the recent New Moon from October that governs the first half of the November month highlighted Pluto and Uranus in close trine, with Pluto sitting in the beginning degrees of your sign. You have a real focus now on the continuation of a kind of identity exploration that has been active since the beginning of last summer, and that will be in the background, at least, over the next several years. This no doubt will be leaving you a changed person as you move into your next evolutionary stage. In this month, also, the recent late Libra New Moon took place right on the very edge of Scorpio, signifying your career and professional life. This also had Mars, that sign’s traditional ruler, conjunct Mercury in this same sector. As November gets going, you are thus contemplating career realizations and adjustments as well as personal ones. All this might be coming to a head in the timing of the Scorpio Full Moon of November 5th, accentuating your vocational sector and with Mars, directly opposed to Uranus, your own sign’s ruler, plus aspecting Pluto on your ascendant. This first week of the month is also a rich one philosophically, since Venus, at 28° of the Libra sign, lay in same-degree quincunx with the Saturn/Neptune midpoint in Pisces. This affects your values and, as well, your sense of communication and learning. This archetypal combination of Saturn and Neptune, which has also been active in roughly the same position since the beginning of the summer, combines antithetical elements of the physical (Saturn) and what is distinctly beyond the physical, partaking of spiritually active and otherworldly realms (Neptune). This has the dual effect of concretizing mythological and cosmic realizations, bringing these into practical effect in your life, while simultaneously juicing up your everyday reality with something that is, as the bard puts it, “rich and strange.”

The prospect of a literal or a symbolic journey could fuel your sense of possibilities at this time thanks to a cycle of expansion that began with the recent Libra New Moon from October that began the thirty-day lunation cycle governing the first half of the current month. The Libra sign relates to your Higher Mind sector relating to your beliefs and worldview, and as well educational or travel initiatives, so adventures in philosophy could be your new calling card. With Pluto in your sign right now to stay there over the next two decades, you are undergoing a process of metamorphosis of which you are probably already well aware. The question right now may not be whether you are willing to take a leap of faith or stay the same but more so related to seeing through a process that could already be well underway. With Uranus also in the beginning degrees of a compatible Air sign, namely Gemini, your creative self-expression also partakes all month of a sense of novelty, inspiration, and the unexpected. The horizon is widening and with that may come the necessary logistical, financial or even educational adjustments required to support your direction. With your finger on the pulse of the collective zeitgeist, you may be sensing that the world and your place within it is changing rapidly. For many, the current state of things feels unsettling, but you may be sensing that amidst the changing tides lies an opportunity to shape shift into your next chapter, one that allows you more room to grow, learn and explore what is begging you to be discovered.

On the 1st and 2nd, Venus in Libra forms an opposition with Chiron in Aries and a square with Jupiter in Cancer. This implies that you might see evidence of relational issues based on inner wounding or in terms of your beliefs and worldview. There could also be a preoccupation with logistical or technical issues that seems unmanageable there at the beginning of November. You may have to sort out your priorities or let go of tasks, responsibilities or habits that are weighing you down or have become obsolete. The way you spend your time and your energy could have to be streamlined to make room for real progress to happen.

On the 4th Mars in Scorpio forms a trine with Neptune before entering Sagittarius and opposing Uranus in Gemini which may give you intuitional information. You might need to beware of sudden impulses that could go astray.

The Full Moon in Taurus on November 5th shines the spotlight on the domestic sector of your chart emphasizing your home, your family and your psychological roots. Venus, which rules Taurus is also culminating in your chart in this Full Moon, is very close to the beginning of Scorpio, or your tenth house of vocation, and is square Jupiter, joyful expansion, which in turn is trine Saturn, your traditional ruler. Thus, there is expansion in the air that might apply to your career. Because Jupiter closely squares Chiron, the Wounded Healer in this timing as well, it is also possible that you might become more conscious of inner wounding that could be interfering with how you show up in your public persona as your most authentic version of yourself. There is an implication that inner work – striving to better understand yourself in these dark places within you – could be beneficial for you at this time. Something could come to light that may be clarifying for you now, whether this relates to where you want to be in the world or where you need to release your grip on old attachments. Whatever feels stagnant or is weighing you down could be obvious; with a potential prospect of expansion on the horizon, it may also be easier to let things go.

Venus enters Scorpio on the 6th and forms a square with Pluto in Aquarius from the 6th to the 8th which may exaggerate power dynamics and bring relational or emotional intensity to the surface. At best, this aspect could highlight your passion and creative impulses if you have the proper outlets otherwise there could be a tendency to see things in black and white.

On November 9th, Mercury turns retrograde in Sagittarius, or your social sector. This period could emphasize details and logistics of all kinds at work or within an organization it could be easier than usual to miss important details. There could be missed connections and mechanical breakdowns, which are the usual symptoms of the Mercury Retrograde, along with an introspective questioning of your societal connections, including friendships, and your long-term goals for the future. Mercury stations to direct motion on the 29th, and finally escapes its post-retrograde shadow on December 16th.

On the 11th, Jupiter stations retrograde in Cancer. As far as the ongoing retrograde of Mercury, there is also plenty of energy in the cards as Mercury conjuncts Mars in Sagittarius on the 11th and 12th, bringing also career issues into the purview of Mercury’s meditate questioning.

Mercury in Sagittarius forms a sextile with Pluto in Aquarius before retrograding back into Scorpio on the 18th which may bring important details to light. Once Mercury lands back in late Scorpio, it there opposes Uranus in Taurus and forms a trine with Neptune in Pisces which may cast even more doubts on something you thought was a done deal or bring a new factors to contend with.

The Scorpio New Moon takes place late on November 19th, or early on the 20th depending on your location, and brings an important reset for the vocational sector of your chart. Mercury reaches the heart of the Sun in a rare triple conjunction with the Sun and the Moon, signaling the halfway point of its Mercury Retrograde cycle and is its Cazimi, considered a moment of clarity and illumination amidst the difficulties of the retrograde passage. While some changes could be taking place in your career or in a role that you play at work, this moment also brings a powerful incentive to accept ongoing transformation that is slowly changing the way that you see yourself making your way through the world. If you can see yourself as compelled at this juncture to release what has become obsolete for you, you may find that unexpected solutions could emerge, or the space could be created for new opportunities.

The Sun enters Sagittarius on the 21st and forms a positive sextile with Pluto in Aquarius on the 23rd which could bring a further stage of transformational intensity to your social setting. Sagittarius Season is usually a pretty fun timing for you, although this year might be a little different with Mercury also retrograding nearby.

The last week of November could be busy career-wise with Venus in Scorpio forming several aspects that could help streamline your resources and responsibilities. Saturn turns direct in Pisces on the 28th and Mercury follows suit the next day, turning direct in Scorpio on the 29th and emphasizing renewed ideas and ongoing questions about the changes that you are currently going through investigating more completely, heading into December. Things may still be feeling a bit chaotic although as Venus enters Sagittarius on the 30th, you could feel at least that you have allies around you. There is indeed plenty of change and eventual forward motion still to come.

This is an exciting month, Pisces, of digging down into your depths for the potential of renewal and change. The recent Libra New Moon from the last ten days of October strongly featured Pluto and Uranus in close trine and located in your sectors of unconscious process or inner work, plus home, family, and your psychological roots, so that there could be a constant flow of new material that continues to arise for you from sources of deep intuitional inner reality which is grist for your mill of internal realization and reevaluation. There could be surprises on the home front, or with your dwelling space, or arising from deep inner sources, and these could lead to powerful realizations contributing to important personal development. Your beliefs and worldview are also going through an important evolution. This project is greatly reinforced during November as well by Mercury turning to retrograde motion beginning on November 9th at the very top of your solar chart, corresponding to your vocational sector. The meditative and introspective stance of the Mercury Retrograde period can be characterized as reviewing, re-thinking, and potentially readjusting the basis for your choices in your working life or your public persona that are induced by these ongoing inner explorations that have been with you for several months by now. In this month, more specifically, there could be confrontations with the residue of ancient trauma stemming from early childhood that arise for better integration and healing. This process of working with inner wounding can be revelatory all on its own and can be tremendously significant in the progressive advancement of your most authentic presentation of yourself in both outer and more internal contexts.

November begins under the influence of the recent Libra New Moon from October 21st which kicked off the current thirty-day lunation cycle lasting through the first half of November. Your beliefs and worldview may become a hot topic for you now, along with issues of intimacy and of partnership agreements, whether business or personal. With Pluto configured to the New Moon by a square and with Uranus at the nadir of your solar chart also highlighted, there continue to be novel ideas and fresh surprises possible in your home life or with respect to your dwelling space. There could be significant intuitional revelations that come to you over the course of November. Your ruling planet, Neptune, in your sector of values and resources and in a tight same-degree sextile with Trickster Uranus, indicates that fluctuations in finances and sudden changes of fortune are a significant part of your November adventure. Saturn’s placement in your sign as well, and in a featured conjunction with Neptune in the recent New Moon, indicates that there are life lessons that are likely to come out of this situation as well, as there usually are when you take the time to stop and look for them.

On November 1st and 2nd, Venus in Libra forms an opposition with Chiron in Aries and a square with Jupiter in Cancer. This emphasizes your bonds, your commitments and the contracts you have with others along with any co-dependent patterns or the obligations and expectations that infringe on your autonomy. You may be aware of these dynamics and a willing participant although part of you could feel somewhat thwarted or craving more freedom.

The first week of November is a busy time with an early Full Moon and Mars in Scorpio making a trine with Neptune in Pisces before entering Sagittarius, corresponding to your vocational sector, and coming into an opposition with Uranus in Gemini on the 4th. You may have to contend with a lot of unknown factors professionally or at home. The Mars-Uranus opposition being so prominent in your solar chart is also a bit of a warning sign not to act on impulse, as these astrological factors would indicate, or you might wind up paying a price for hasty action. This is a time to think twice, in spite of any tendencies to the contrary, before making your moves.

The Full Moon lands in Taurus on November 5th and culminates in the part of your chart that relates to the way you communicate and share your ideas with others around you, plus increasing focus on your native curiosity and love of learning. In this mid-week timing as well. Neptune, your modern ruler, has slipped backward in retrograde motion into your sign, which could change the energy that you’re feeling around you in subtle ways. Neptune remains in sextile with Uranus at 0° of Gemini, and so there could be a continuation of surprises on the home front or in connection with your dwelling space. Your changing attitude toward inner work as an important component of your beliefs and worldview could be generating its own rewards, perhaps in terms of getting more comfortable with the idea that it could be time for addressing the issue of inner wounding, perhaps based on the traumas of early childhood, might be affecting your life from below the level of your consciousness. If such issues do arise over the course of this somewhat difficult month, the pathway ahead might be to give loving acceptance and caring to these residues of the hurt child within you that needs that kind of attention and love.

There is something very tangible about a Taurus Full Moon, the need to give shape to something and begin to see the concrete results for your efforts. Whatever feedback you are getting at this time, the potential is there for you to understand something more clearly which will help along towards the next leg of your journey.

On the 9th, Mercury in Sagittarius turns retrograde This period could find you reflecting on your beliefs, your passions or your vocational calling while contemplating the journey that might be required for you to give form to your vision. One thing is certain, you may not be able to ignore any longer those things that resonate deeply within you for whatever you believe in is being emphasized right now. The introspective Mercury Retrograde period – that also seems to generate missed connections and mechanical breakdowns – has its difficulties and yet also its rewards in terms of better and more intentional awareness of important fields and desires within you that could have been escaping your attention in busy doing, at least until this slow-down, also engendered by Saturn in your sign in same-degree trine with Jupiter, your traditional ruler.

Jupiter, himself positioned in Cancer follows suit by stationing retrograde on the 11th. This makes his effects stronger at this time. This is also the day of the Moon’s Last Quarter, which emphasizes the lessons of this powerful second week of the month, when your worldview could be majorly shifting. This could be quite productive if you are willing to trust the process at play. On the surface, it could seem like business as usual, but underneath the hustle and bustle lies the profundity of your inner world.

On the 16th and 17th, as the Sun in Scorpio forms a trine with both Saturn in Pisces and Jupiter in Cancer you could sense that events are conspiring to show you a new way forward.

On the 18th, Mercury in retrograde backs into Scorpio, there forming an exact opposition with Uranus, now in late Taurus, and a trine with Neptune, now in Pisces. Intuitional information may be more readily available than surface logic and is valuable to you at this juncture. With the Mercury Retrograde, things are moving more slowly. If you are trying to change a pattern in your life, you may have to wait and be patient, trying to keep a sense of perspective, before you can see the results.

The New Moon in Scorpio arrives late on the 19th, or early on the 20th if you’re back east, and brings the start of a powerful cycle in the part of your chart that relates to higher mind, personal philosophy, plus travel, learning, and teaching. This sector relates more generally to any and all experiences that can broaden your mind. Mercury Retrograde also reaches the Scorpio Sun in this New Moon, which is known as its Cazimi and signals the halfway point of its retrograde cycle and a moment of extreme clarity that is like the eye of the hurricane storm. You may not be able to entirely see where things are heading, but the realizations of this moment might help you get there. There is a powerful incentive to tune in to your intuition to guide you forward. This timing with the New Moon, in making a triple conjunction including retrograde Mercury, is quite remarkable. The New Moon trine Neptune in the last degree of your sign is also significant. There is a process that is completing over the next few months of the ending of the year and the first months of the next one that connect to your understanding of who in this world you actually are, with deep down values becoming more available to you both professionally and in the persona you present to others as you go.

The Sun enters the sign of Sagittarius on November 21st which represents the beginning of a more dynamic period with your vocation and public life and/or public reputation. Sagittarius Season is always a favorable time of the year for you, although with this one the Mercury Retrograde that began is Sagittarius still lingers on as well. As in the previous weeks, there could be unexpected setbacks with outer world events and vocational situations that could come up, and these could also lead to important lessons. There is a significant link right now as well between career and your beliefs and worldview, as they are being reviewed and potentially adjusted. As the Grateful Dead lines go, encapsulating this, “Once in a while you can get shown the light/ In the strangest of places if you look at it right.”

Mercury is still moving retrograde in Scorpio and on the 22nd it forms an exact grand trine with Saturn in Pisces and Jupiter in Cancer. You could be invited to focus on what you really want and it could be hard to ignore what must be done, or as well the types of internal issues that could be holding you back from your dream vision for yourself. The right balance of work and play could be one secret for your laying the groundwork for success.

Late evening of the 27th, Saturn turns direct in Pisces. The next three months could be consolidating your efforts surrounding a project or an overall redirection which may have been in the works for the past two years could start to show real tangible results.

Mercury turns direct in Scorpio on November 29th, as Venus in Scorpio opposes Uranus which could emphasize a wild impulse or idea that may turn out to be not so crazy after all. Mercury is dead still in the sky so that the symptoms of its retrograde are still very much with us, dissipating over the next two weeks heading into December. Once Venus enters Sagittarius on the 30th, this could represent an easing of the difficulty of your choices, especially professionally, promoting he concept of having faith in yourself and in what you love, which could in fact be the one secret ingredient that you are needing.
