This November month, featuring as it does, from its very start, the joint retrogrades of both Venus and Mercury in Scorpio, is filled with the familiar characteristics of missed connections and mechanical breakdowns and, as well, deep introspective contemplation of our life situation in general. There is also quite a lot of political drama to take in, especially here in the United States, with the consequential November 3rd midterm elections posing a unique set of possible outcomes and reactions that will not likely resolve until December, if then. These twin inner planets in retrograde motion both station direct on the 13th, and since they are that day standing almost dead still in the sky, this date is one highlight of the entire retrograde period – with the usual symptoms. Mercury slowly recovers over the next two weeks, not escaping its post-retrograde shadow until the 29th. Venus, in Libra by the time of her station, returns to Scorpio and catches up with its lost zodiacal degrees by the 15th of December.
The ScorpioNew Moon of November 8th, PT, punctuates the retrograde period’s meditative questioning and review with additional energy in this deeply transformative sign. Also featured in the November astrology are outer planets Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto in the early degrees of Gemini, Aries, and Aquarius, as they remain in their storied trine and sextile alignment in more muted form, yet also triggered by the Full Moon alignment of the last week of the previous month – with its 2° Taurus Moon in a close T-square with the Sun and Pluto at 3° Aquarius – and that of the GeminiFull Moon of November 24th, which conjuncts Uranus and aspects Neptune at 1° Aries. The cycles of all three, and especially of Uranus and Pluto, are thus still vitally active as we slide toward the end of another brutally chaotic and transformational year.
The double retrogrades of inner planets for all of November bring up the question of how to regard this period of time as far as acting on impulse. Usually, sudden decisions might go just fine, although the caution for any Mercury Retrograde period (and its two-week aftermath) is, rather, to wait and see. That is, not to, let’s say “push the river,” but rather to investigate things and meditate on proper adjustments. And this is perhaps magnified for November with Venus also retrograde. The clue is that what is favored during the retrograde period is anything with “Re” such as reflect, review, readjust, reconsider. Question things, in other words, rather than proceed willy-nilly. You can’t always do that – sometimes you just must go ahead and cash the check – but that is the astrological recommendation.
This November month is thus a time of looking within, favoring meditation and inner work, honoring the vastness of what is below the surface layers of normal everyday consciousness. Neptune in Aries (ruling Pisces and therefore internal meditation) is also emphasized this month, especially with the Full Moon configurations from the ending week of the previous month, and on the 24th of this current one, when the Sun and Moon make close aspects to Neptune as well as to Uranus and Pluto.
In the November 8th New Moon at 16° Scorpio there is an interesting midpoint configuration that is worth mentioning, and that also emphasizes the Mercury Retrograde period in this month’s timing. The Neptune/Saturn midpoint, with their separation from their recent conjunction coming now to seven degrees, turns out to be 5° Aries. What is significant for the New Moon configuration is that we have, a close sextile away, the Uranus position of 4° Gemini, and across the zodiac from these two sensitive points there is retrograde Mercury at 6° Scorpio, making Mercury the focus of a tight yod from Neptune/Saturn and Uranus, implying further emphasis on retrograde Mercury for the remaining three weeks of November.
Another factor in the November 8th New Moon that was also featured in last month’s Full Moon and is powerfully invoked in the Full Moon near the end of this month is the Pluto-Haumea square of about one degree of separation from exact, which carries a specific meaning. Pluto represents getting to the bottom of things, including the seamy underside of whatever is in contact with Pluto, while Haumea represents profound connection with Nature, and with a species of natural law that includes telling the truth as we know it. We all possess this within ourselves, though in differing intensities. The Pluto-Haumea square, as I have mentioned before – and for which I have seen amazing evidence for several years now – corresponds to the truth coming out. Over and over, I have seen this being the case when the Pluto-Haumea square is featured in the astrology; and on the early morning of November 3rd, the square is incidentally partile, plus triggered by Neptune, Uranus, retrograde Venus, and the Moon.
The November 24th Full Moon at 2° Gemini represents another potent lunation, opposite the Sun at 2° Sagittarius, and in close aspect to Neptune at 1° Aries (a sextile), Uranus at 3° Gemini (a close conjunction), and Pluto at 3° Aquarius (a close trine). With the three outer planets so compellingly invoked, the transformational process that we have all been engaged in for these past two years is very much still in effect. Through the potency of the multiple inner planet retrogrades of November, which have, hopefully, enabled us to look more sincerely within ourselves, and these outer planet alignments with the Sun and Moon on this lunation of the 24th, we are coming, by hook or by crook as they say, to our next evolutionary stage.
The Capricorn Solstice and, as well, the end-of-year chart of December 31st have pretty much this same outer planet line-up, with the Sun in the latter configuration additionally lying in partile conjunction with Mercury and in a close parallel with Pluto. This is thus an indication that our transformational process, affecting this country and global Western society as a whole, will continue for at least the following year. We all must simply do what we can do and let it go when we cannot. It helps enormously when we can have faith that the universe has our back and, ultimately, to see us through.

This is a contemplative November month for you, Aries, with both Venus and Mercury retrograding through Scorpio, corresponding to your eighth solar sector of intimacy and personal evolution, also associated with depth studies within, and partnership agreements. These areas will be subject to introspection and potential review, revisioning, and rethinking as far as their ultimate meaning in your life. The recent TaurusFull Moon from the last week of the previous month was a potent lunation, featuring your values, plus the highlighted presence of transformative Pluto in Aquarius or your social sector – so that further changes there are indicated as the month begins; also, Chiron, the Wounded Healer, in the final degrees of your own sign was conjunct that early Taurus Moon. This Chiron placement is associated with your understanding of your own identity, a factor which might also be shifting in some unexpected fashion through the ups and downs of an uncertain monthly cycle as November continues to unfold. The ScorpioNew Moon of the 8th emphasizes the inquiry into factors of partnership – as well as intimacy with yourself and others – and brings an expansion within your fifth sector of joy and creative self-expression, since Mars, your traditional ruler, begins to conjunct Jupiter in this location. There is extra activity in projects and yet these positive and forward-going impulses must also be tempered by the introspective nature of the Mercury Retrograde period. Mercury and Venus both station to direct motion on the 13th and Mercury recovers until nearly the very end of the month.
The following was written by our guest astrologer, Lauren Hansen. You can find her here .
Mercury Cazimi in Scorpio – November 4th
Early in the day, a conversation about shared finances or trust may prove especially productive! You could suddenly understand what truly motivates another person or a candid exchange with someone close might help you accept an old emotional pattern and deepen the closeness between you.
New Moon in Scorpio – November 8th
This emotionally potent New Moon could mark a fresh start in how you approach intimacy, perhaps bringing awareness to a fear of letting someone in or an old hurt that still shapes how much you share. It might also signal a new beginning with shared money, such as a loan or an outstanding debt, where questions of dependence and control may feel more charged than usual. With the Moon in fall, feelings tied to these matters can be intense yet hard to articulate, and once they take hold, tend to linger. Your ruler and the ruler of this New Moon, Mars, approaches Jupiter through your sector of joy and expression, possibly sparking a bold desire to be seen and adored, too. A fiery appetite for pleasure could clash with the slower, more vulnerable work of building trust the Sun and Moon in your sector of intimacy are encouraging. Hurt pride might flare if affection seems uneven. Still, this aspect could offer you the courage to speak openly about your desires, though it may also encourage grand gestures that skip past the reality of honest conversation. If you can take things slowly, instead of rushing toward resolution, this could help a potential bond or shared arrangement grow on steadier footing.
Venus and Mercury Stationing Direct – November 13th
The subjects surrounding shared finances, trust or grief that may have felt stuck during the retrograde could shift and slowly begin moving forward after Mercury stations direct. On this same day, Venus turns direct also! With Venus standing still in your relationship sector, you could find yourself attempting to reach for a fair solution with an established or potential partner. Discussing a sensitive money matter could perhaps restore balance within a relationship, though smoothing things over is likely to still take time as these planets won’t fully recover until weeks after they turn direct.
Sun square Mars, Jupiter + South Node Conjunction – November 15th-21st
Over the next week, your ruler, Mars, joins Jupiter – fueling a bold appetite for romance, creative risks, or something that brings you joy. Yet with the South Node present, chasing a new connection or ambitious project could mean releasing an old flame or a familiar source of pleasure. Also, enthusiasm may fizzle faster than expected, or a passion project might drain more energy than it gives back. Complicating things further, the Sun’s square is likely to spotlight a debt, joint expense, or unresolved matter of trust, likely pulling energy and money away from fun! Releasing whatever drains you or no longer fits could be the wisest move.
Sun Enters Sagittarius – November 22nd
A long-distance trip, a course of study, or a publishing project could gain momentum with the Sun now in Sagittarius! You might feel more confident voicing your convictions or drawn to explore new philosophies, and a growing awareness of what you want from life could renew your sense of purpose.
Sun trine Neptune – November 22nd-24th
Exploring a new philosophy, pursuing higher education, or planning a trip could feel especially inspiring as your sense of identity blends with your search for meaning. You might feel drawn to beliefs that reflect your ideals or become more compassionate toward perspectives different from your own. Just be mindful of becoming so attached to a personal vision or romanticizing your view of a teacher or of a destination, that you overlook valid ways of seeing the world.
Sun opposed Uranus, sextile Pluto – November 23rd-26th
Over the next few days, the Sun may strengthen your faith and awaken a willingness to stretch beyond what feels familiar. Yet Uranus could complicate things from the opposite side of your chart, bringing sudden news or an unexpected conversation that shakes up your plans. Even so, the surprise might free you to think in a new way. A trusted friend or group is likely to offer a strategic path forward, though reclaiming control over where you’re headed is up to you.
Full Moon in Gemini – November 24th
This Full Moon affects your sector of communication and learning while the Gemini-Sagittarius axis also invokes your evolving beliefs and worldview. These areas could become a new focus for your attention, or be seen in a different light. With the Moon conjunct Uranus, you might feel restless and suddenly compelled to put your emotions into words. Novel ideas or philosophies that inspire you could become more fully settled as part of your worldview. What you are able to say in the heat of the moment could prove both startling and strangely freeing. Mercury, ruler of this lunation, sits in Scorpio or your intimacy sector, so that a sensitive matter involving shared money, sex, or being trustworthy may be a part of the story as you continue to meditate on partnership and its complications. Pluto in close trine with the Gemini Moon may support transformation in the area of your communication style, what you believe, or your social involvement. This could offer a way forward through your circle, or with friends, or with a group that shares your goals. Plans could suddenly change. You may be able to reclaim power in a situation where you once felt that it was lacking.
Mars Enters Virgo – November 25th
Your ruler, Mars, newly entered into your service sector, may fire up your work ethic or a health concern, pushing you to streamline your process or commit to a fitness routine that delivers results. Issues at your workplace could test your patience, though, and an urge to perfect every task could at times leave you running on fumes!
Venus opposite Chiron – November 25th-29th
Partnership and interacting with others has likely felt sweet and easy lately, yet Venus opposing Chiron could bring personal insecurities to the surface. Feeling self-conscious about your appearance or unsure of your ability to stand on your own might leave you temporarily guarded. That vulnerability can make compromise or closeness harder to reach for now, potentially stalling a bond you’ve been enjoying.
Sun trine Saturn – November 28th-30th
As you reflect on what you truly believe, you may begin to carry yourself with a new sense of maturity. Wisdom gained from a mentor or a meaningful course of study could encourage you to take ownership of your choices and commit to personal goals with greater patience. Living in alignment with your values is likely to leave you feeling more self-assured.
This is an important month, Taurus, for reflecting upon and potentially revisioning the impact of relationship in your life. You could be in a process of rearranging the way you do things in this important area. This focus astrologically comes from the fact that your chart ruler, Venus, plus Mercury – governing your mental process in general – are both, as the month begins, in retrograde motion through your opposite sign of Scorpio, corresponding to your partnership sector. These significant inner planet retrogrades simultaneously return to direct motion on the 13th, and thereafter take a while to straighten out, with Mercury only escaping its post-retrograde shadow on the 29th. This goes on amidst the background buzz of the previous month’s lunations, which featured the recent Full Moon in your sign triggering Pluto in Aquarius, indicating further transformation for your vocational sector. Uranus is equally featured in your second solar sector of resources and values. There is inspiration to be found in this latter astrological archetype, and as well unusual fluctuations and surprise events that could affect how you feel about yourself, your finances, and your deepest principles. You may lately be tuning in, as far as what you truly stand for, to a more otherworldly point of view. What gives you the stamina to go on may no longer come from only the concretely 3D world but rather take on a mystical as well as a physical basis. This is a more balanced viewpoint that can prove valuable as you continue to morph and evolve in your relationships and in your career and professional life.
The following was written by our guest astrologer, Lauren Hansen. You can find her here .
Mercury Cazimi in Scorpio – November 4th
This morning, one-on-one conversations could become especially productive, helping you understand another person's perspective or resolve an ongoing matter. Scorpio's influence favors looking beneath the surface, making this a useful time to discuss sensitive topics, negotiate an agreement, or get to the heart of a relationship dynamic with honesty.
New Moon in Scorpio – November 8th
This emotionally potent New Moon could mark a fresh start in how you approach partnership, perhaps bringing awareness to what you need from a significant other or how much of yourself you’re willing to share. It might set a new tone for a contract, collaboration, or rivalry, where questions of loyalty and control could come into play. Your chart ruler, Venus, still in retrograde, contributes a sense of introspective wondering where in your life you may be heading, and thinking seriously about this basic question. The Moon is in her fall, so that closeness and self-protection may pull against each other, making vulnerability feel riskier than usual – especially considering Mars’ involvement. Mars, in Leo, the ruler of this New Moon, is approaching Jupiter within your most emotionally sensitive sector of inner security and belonging, where feelings simmering privately could grow too large to contain. A domestic tension or family dynamic could add to the pressure. As the Sun and Moon are in loose square to Mars, those feelings may spill into your relationships, and stubbornness on either side could keep a disagreement going. Thankfully, Jupiter, benevolent planet near Mars in Leo, offers courage and a broader view of what a secure partnership might look like. Noticing whether a reaction stems from the present or an older hurt could help you begin again on steadier ground!
Venus and Mercury Stationing Direct – November 13th
Your ruler, Venus, stations direct in your sector of workplace, everyday tasks and wellness – eventually bringing more harmony to relationships with co-workers or renewed pleasure to your daily routines. Caring for your body with affection rather than pressure could also feel more natural! With Mercury turning direct on the very same day, negotiations with a client or significant other that were possibly stalled may slowly over the next two weeks begin to regain momentum, and a sensitive conversation about trust might finally find the right words. Agreements are likely to firm up gradually as both planets slowly gather speed.
Sun square Mars, Jupiter + South Node Conjunction – November 15th-21st Mars and Jupiter could spark a visceral urge to reshape a family dynamic, change your home in some capacity, or express your emotions in a great, big, fiery way! Since the South Node is involved, you could be in process of releasing an inherited emotional pattern or domestic dynamic. Old memories could resurface, or perhaps your inner reserves may run lower than usual at some points. Things are especially tangled due to the Sun squaring this triple conjunction from your sector of partnership. Someone else's needs or demands might pull against your longing for inner comfort or expression. Honoring your feelings without digging in your heels can ease the way forward.
Sun Enters Sagittarius – November 22nd
Financial agreements with partners or questions of trust could become more prominent with the Sun now in Sagittarius – giving you an opportunity to examine an arrangement or perhaps better understand what you share with another person. You might also become more aware of your psychological shadows, which can assist you as you strive for internal transformation.
Sun trine Neptune – November 22nd-24th
Your awareness of intimacy, shared resources, or long-held emotional patterns can deepen and soften as the Sun trines Neptune. This could represent a spiritual time for inner healing, perhaps through therapy, meditation, or a vulnerable heart-to-heart that helps you release old wounds. Boundaries can also blur, perhaps around joint arrangements, potentially leaving certain details unclear. With acceptance and compassion, trust can more easily flow.
Sun opposed Uranus, sextile Pluto – November 23rd-26th Pluto is shining a transformative light on your personal journey to evolve, or perhaps on what you share with others, sparking a desire to grow joint resources or be more candid in a close bond about what you need. Over these few days, Pluto's trine to Uranus strikes home and could actually startle or inspire you to be more independent, or maybe to become more inspired about your possibilities. Uranus could help loosen your grip on outdated ideas of what represents security! The Sun in supportive sextile to Pluto can come in handy – helping you to point out what’s driving the Uranian tension.
Full Moon in Gemini – November 24th
Your sense of security, financial or otherwise – and your personal values – could come to a head under this Full Moon, possibly through an emotional realization or event surrounding your worth or what you need to feel safe. With Uranus closely conjunct the Moon, unexpected events or surprising revelations might shake up your plans in some way. The disruption could also potentially free you from a limiting belief about to what extent or how you can earn money. The Full Moon’s ruler, Mercury, is in your opposite sign of Scorpio, so a one-on-one relationship may play a key role in how all this unfolds! Transformative Pluto and numinous Neptune are also invoked here, and a frank gaze could bring an unspoken need or hidden motive to light, while others’ perspectives might help you see your value more clearly. Pluto does offer an opportunity to look more deeply into your career path, seeing how you continue to make changes there that strengthen your reputation and your alignment to deep purpose.
Mars Enters Virgo – November 25th Mars entering Virgo can stir up your appetite for pleasure, romance, or self-expression, likely motivating you to put quick efforts into something you genuinely enjoy. A perfectionist edge can also form, encouraging you to practice a craft or hobby until your skills feel polished. You might also be a tad more nit-picky while dating than usual!
Venus opposite Chiron – November 25th-29th
Your ruler, Venus, has probably been bringing greater ease to your daily tasks lately, making work more enjoyable or even helping you establish a health routine that feels satisfying rather than burdensome. Yet her opposition to Chiron could briefly bring into sharper focus private anxieties, guilt, or other concerns you've kept to yourself, There is also healing in these recognitions.
Sun trine Saturn – November 28th-30th
Obstacles may appear in your forward momentum over these few days and also provide lessons. Internal matters might come to the surface as well. Financial arrangements involving another person may become an issue, less so if you're willing to approach sensitive matters with maturity and realism. Saturn's support could help you see a bigger picture of how you are integrating deep feelings. You might also feel more sensitivity toward a partner and perhaps begin to address a shared expense or something you've been putting off discussing.
This is an introspective month for you, Gemini, as is called for with Mercury, your ruler, retrograde or recovering for almost the entirety of November. Mercury is located in Scorpio, the sign corresponding to your sixth solar sector of work, service, and day-to-day habitual environments. You might find yourself questioning these areas of life, with perhaps a tendency to review and potentially reject outmoded habitual behaviors that seem to have outlived their shelf life as far as being useful in your present state of evolution. Because Venus is also retrograde in Scorpio, and then in Libra, until the 13th, when Mercury also stations direct, your meditative rethinking of your day-to-day environment and activities is likely also joined to your creative self-expression or romantic dynamic, in your Libra sector, ruled by Venus, and the deep unconscious part of yourself, which is associated with your Taurus sector, also ruled by Venus. These are areas of your life, and you are currently likely giving them a second look. The ScorpioNew Moon of November 8th also highlights that sign, likely intensifying your self-reflection in these areas. When the GeminiFull Moon culminates on November 24th at 2° of your sign, with Uranus in conjunction with the Moon right there as well, along with the trine they make to Pluto, unexpected revelations and transformations will likely follow you through to the first week of December.
The following was written by our guest astrologer, Lauren Hansen. You can find her here .
Mercury Cazimi in Scorpio – November 4th
Early in the day, a smart solution to a work challenge, scheduling issue, or health concern could come into view as Mercury, your planetary ruler, is purified by the Sun. Scorpio’s investigative focus may help you pinpoint an inefficient habit, improve communication with a coworker, or discover a wellness approach that suits your body.
New Moon in Scorpio – November 8th
This autumn New Moon makes for a fresh start in your sector of health, day-to-day events, and your workplace and could help you establish a healthier pattern in how you handle daily obligations or care for your body. As the Sun aligns with the Moon, the retrogrades of Mercury and also of Venus could become boosted in their effects. A habit kept in place out of a need for control could perhaps be ready to budge. The Moon’s fall in Scorpio can make emotional stress harder to process, so any tension might show up physically before it can be spoken. Mars, the ruler of this New Moon, may provide energy since he is approaching his conjunction with Jupiter in your sector of communication and learning, possibly fueling a need to be heard, to defend your ideas, or to speak up about what you’re excited to be sharing. Pausing to separate what your body needs from what your pride wants to prove could be helpful. Jupiter may show up as good luck, and his generosity could also reward you through writing, teaching, or a course that helps you grow.
Venus and Mercury Stationing Direct – November 13th Mercury stations direct, Mercury in your sector of workplace, daily activities, and health matters, while Venus stations also, in Libra, indicating a shift that may ultimately help a delayed project finally get underway. Things in either area spring somewhat slowly back to life. Miscommunications also start clearing up as Mercury finally escapes its post-retrograde shadow period on the 29th. With Venus also turning to direct motion, a romantic connection may slowly become more defined, or a creative hobby put on hold can start to bring delight once more! Making time for leisure is likely to eventually feel easier to justify, though both planets need at least a week or ten days to find their footing.
Sun square Mars, Jupiter + South Node Conjunction – November 15th-21st
Your words could grow more forceful as Mars and Jupiter in your sector of communication and learning amplify your thoughts and speech. You may want to get involved in your neighborhood or a local community event, or begin speaking up in a meaningful new way. With the South Node involved, an outdated mindset or way of communicating might also be ready to yield to more current concerns. The Sun’s square may depict a heavy workload, a tense coworker relationship, or a health concern that could compete with intellectual and social urges. Pacing yourself to prevent burnout might turn out to be constructive.
Sun Enters Sagittarius – November 22nd
The coming weeks may bring greater attention to your one-on-one commitments and to others in general. You could form a client connection or perhaps gain a clearer understanding of what you want from your closest relationships. Honesty and room for growth may become especially important!
Sun trine Neptune – November 22nd-24th
Partnerships and one-on-one bonds may feel more inspiring, with your social circle playing a meaningful part. A friendship might develop into a romance or working alliance, or you and a significant other could bond over a shared cause or dream. Compassion is likely to flow easily between you and others in general. Still, affection for someone you’ve grown close to could make their flaws easy to miss.
Sun opposed Uranus, sextile Pluto – November 23rd-26th
With the Sun highlighting your relationships and ability to relate to others, you might be eager to deepen a connection or commit to a shared goal. Yet the Sun’s opposition to Uranus in your own sign could spark a restless need for independence: you may want more space within a bond, or someone might suddenly want a room of their own. Within a matter of days, an out-of-the-blue shift in how you see yourself might make an existing arrangement feel confining. That restlessness could prove freeing, though, helping you show up more authentically. As the Sun is also sextile Pluto, a candid exchange about values, or insight gained through study, could help you see the power dynamics at play. That understanding may give you the confidence to renegotiate on terms that honor both freedom and commitment.
Full Moon in Gemini – November 24th
Illuminating the most sensitive sector of your chart, this Full Moon in your sign brings up issues of self and other and could feel very personal! You could experience greater clarity around your identity, what you want, and how you’d like to be seen. You might, for example, notice where you’ve been shaping yourself around others’ expectations and feel ready to show up more honestly. With the Moon joined by Uranus in your sign, surprise events or startling disclosures are more than possible, and physical energy may run high. This lunation could spark an electrifying urge to assert your independence or launch a personal venture in search of more freedom. Mercury, recovering from its retrograde in Scorpio, ties these revelations and surprises to your daily duties such as work, the regular tasks and habits you assume, and even your health. Your social sector is associated with a Neptune emphasis, and friendships could feel more spiritual or idealized, perhaps confusing. With Pluto in harmony with the Moon, a powerful shift in your worldview could follow, helping you approach this new phase of life with conviction.
Mars Enters Virgo – November 25th Mars entering Virgo could nudge you to tackle home repairs or reorganize your living space due to having less patience for domestic disorder. You could easily get into conflicts with relatives who aren't pulling their weight, or even want to separate from them for the time being. Even small frustrations at home could escalate quickly! It may be wise to pick and choose your battles.
Venus opposite Chiron – November 25th-29th
Lately, taking part in leisurely activities, romantic endeavors, children-oriented fun, or individual projects could be bringing you plenty of joy. But, as Venus quickly opposes Chiron, the tide may temporarily turn. Feeling unseen or hurt by friends could dull this sparkle for a bit, or maybe doubts about a long-held dream could briefly creep in.
Sun trine Saturn – November 28th-30th
There could be unforeseen obstacles or, in a more positive sense, constructive limits on your time. Someone may help you work toward a long-term goal, or perhaps a romantic partner is ready to commit to a future with you. Conversations about hopes and dreams with a significant other or business associate could help a shared vision take more concrete shape. Support from your friendships or wider network could also help you approach a partnership with greater confidence.
This is an internally derived month for you, Cancer, based on, for one thing, last month’s LibraNew Moon in your fourth solar sector of home and family, therefore referencing your private psychology. Also emphasized in the TaurusFull Moon a week before the current month began, Pluto in your eighth sector of deep contemplation, intimacy, and personal transformation, has also the implication of new revelations for your twelfth sector of unconscious process and inner work. Another huge introspective element this month as well would be the ongoing retrogrades of both Venus and Mercury in Scorpio, corresponding to your fifth sector of creativity and what brings you joy, additionally brought to the fore by the ScorpioNew Moon of November 8th. This highlights your creative self-expression as well as, potentially, romance, areas of life which are likely to be questioned, reviewed, and re-imagined during November. Mercury and Venus both station to direct motion on the 13th and slowly recover over the remainder of the month. Another subject of contemplation in this mid-month timing would be your relationship dynamic and the status of current or prospective partners. The GeminiFull Moon of the 24th marks another powerful lunation that features what is transpiring behind the scenes and in your habitual day-to-day routines. The final week of the month thus highlights the inner work required to change any potentially dysfunctional patterns of behavior that you can begin to recognize.

Mercury Cazimi in Scorpio – November 4th
As the morning Sun purifies Mercury, still retrograde in Scorpio, a creative idea or fun plan may click into place. A heartfelt talk with a love interest or child could also bring you closer, helping you perceive what most delights them. You might even uncover a deep passion worth exploring, which could become a refreshed hobby or even a romantic interest!
New Moon in Scorpio – November 8th
This tender yet guarded New Moon in your fifth sector of creativity, romance, or any children in your life may awaken a different approach to romance, bringing a private attraction or perhaps another longing for pleasure into awareness. A creative project or a relationship with a child could enter a new phase. Deep Scorpio may additionally call for more patience and honesty than usual. The Moon is in her fall here, so that feelings can be strong and yet difficult to share, and once they settle in, they’re slow to shift. Mars, the ruler of this New Moon, sits near Jupiter in your sector of money and self-worth, possibly indicating a windfall, or heightening your feeling valued or perhaps increasing your desire for greater material security. Financial worries, if present, could also intervene, making it harder to open up romantically, or commit to a creative pursuit. You could easily experience the impulse to splurge on something that seems to promise happiness. Your pride can also be damaged if you feel your talents are underestimated. Notice if you seem to want to approach love in this timing with an all-or-nothing attitude. If so, letting things unfold without needing to control the outcome could be the better road to take. Jupiter involved could bring hope, invite emotional growth and support you in being open and honest about how and where you feel valued, appreciated and loved.
Venus and Mercury Stationing Direct – November 13th
Romantic conversations, creative writing projects, or decisions involving children could start moving forward after a slow retrograde stretch as Mercury stations direct. Venus turns direct that very same day, a rare double station! In your sector of home and family, Venus may help bring more harmony and affection to relationships with relatives or inspire you to beautify your living space. Progress is likely to unfold gradually since both planets are barely moving as they shift direction.
Sun square Mars, Jupiter + South Node Conjunction – November 15th-21st
This week, Mars and Jupiter could ignite a hunger to earn more, ask for what you feel you’re worth, or invest in something that builds more confidence. With the South Node alongside them, a financial leap might require giving up a safety net or a possession that no longer reflects who you are. Savings could dwindle quickly, or chasing a bigger paycheck may stretch you thin. Adding another layer, the Sun’s square is likely to tug your heart toward romance, creativity, or a child’s needs, making it harder to stay focused on earning and saving. Practicing a little patience and considering letting go of something you have outgrown can free up room for a more expansive life in due time.
Sun Enters Sagittarius – November 22nd
Your workdays may feel busier yet more expansive as the Sun enters Sagittarius, perhaps through a new responsibility, training, or a project that stretches your skills. You might also grow aware of what your body needs, sparking a desire for healthier habits – more movement, time outdoors, or a fresh approach to fitness and wellness.
Sun trine Neptune – November 22nd-24th
Your daily tasks may feel more meaningful, especially if they connect to a larger dream. Or perhaps you feel inspired to pursue a professional aspiration by bringing more imagination into your regular responsibilities. Work may feel more fulfilling when it allows you to express compassion, creativity, or a genuine desire to help others as well. Even so, an idealized vision of your career could make deadlines easy to overlook!
Sun opposed Uranus, sextile Pluto – November 23rd-26th
With the Sun focused on work and health routines, its opposition to Uranus over the next few days could bring a sudden realization or behind-the-scenes development that upends your schedule. Restless nights or an abrupt need for solitude might make you question how sustainable your pace truly is, and that pause could feel surprisingly freeing. Pluto’s sextile may then help you uncover what’s driving the strain, perhaps a fear of losing control or an imbalance in shared finances, and offer an opening to address it.
Full Moon in Gemini – November 24th
This Full Moon lodged in your sector of unconscious process and inner work could imply that you are coming into conscious awareness of hidden complexes that might be ready for greater attention or acceptance. This may involve something you’ve kept tucked away, even from yourself. Because Uranus is conjunct the Moon here, a vivid dream, a sudden memory, or an unexpected insight during a quiet moment could shift how you feel almost overnight, or what you understand about yourself at deep levels. This might be unsettling and yet could also signal loosening the grip of an old fear, a habit of self-sacrifice, or a limitation that may be ready to fall away. Mercury, this lunation’s ruler, lies in Scorpio, your creativity sector, so that ways in which you seek pleasure, your relationship with a child, or your creative pursuits could gain depth and further transform, perhaps coming to a culmination. Whatever emerges through this Full Moon, you benefit from taking an accepting attitude of “let’s see.” Neptune is highlighted in your career sector so that mystical awareness could become a greater part of your work in the world. Pluto’s flowing aspect to Sun and Moon may offer an opening to turn partnership intimacy into a more deeply honest experience, perhaps through an exchange that strengthens trust, or just letting someone see your more vulnerable side.
Mars Enters Virgo – November 25th
Your mind can move quickly and precisely as Mars enters your communication sector, fueling a desire to master a new skill or express every detail of an important message. Keep in mind, sharp words may slip out, especially when a sibling or neighbor seems careless. Beware of correcting others too often, which could also create tension!
Venus opposite Chiron – November 25th-29th
Home life may have felt especially comforting lately, with opportunities to beautify your space, reconnect with family, or enjoy a greater sense of belonging in your private life. Yet Venus opposing Chiron could bring up insecurities about your professional standing or whether you're taken seriously, making it harder to relax at home as career pressures or concerns about how others perceive you begin weighing on you.
Sun trine Saturn – November 28th-30th
Giving more care to your daily routines and well-being may help your professional life gain steadier footing. It may feel easier to show up consistently and handle tasks, which could earn you the trust of someone in authority. Over time, these healthy habits are likely to support a career path you can sustain for years.
This is primarily a month of being lodged within yourself, Leo, in your own private spaces, as reflected in the month’s Scorpio emphasis, representing your home and family sector, at the nadir of your chart, which activates your psychological roots. This inner focus is further brought about by the retrogrades of personal planets Venus and Mercury initially through this same sector of yours. While Mercury and Venus simultaneously station to direct motion on the 13th, they remain in the slow recovery of their post-retrograde shadow until the very end of the November month. There is a focus as well all month long on the transformational effects of highlighted Pluto in Aquarius, your opposite sign. With Aquarius representing your partnership sector, this implies deep-seated changes in an existing or prospective connection, as well as an ongoing metamorphosis of your entire relationship dynamic. This has been underway for months now, at one level of awareness or another, and is now accentuated. The ScorpioNew Moon of the 8th implies a further emphasis on home and family, presaging changes or introspective questioning on this front as well. Along with factors related to your home life or your dwelling space itself, your family of origin might come into this. The GeminiFull Moon that follows on the 24th represents another quite powerful juncture, when sudden realizations could affect your outlook on friendships or on future goals, and when the partnership transformations associated with the Pluto placement are again featured.

Mercury Cazimi in Scorpio – November 4th
Morning family focused discussions or chats about your living situation could go well, making it easier to settle a household decision, plan a renovation, or move forward with a real estate matter. With Mercury in Scorpio, looking more closely at domestic dynamics or your personal history might reveal a strategic way to improve your home life or strengthen your sense of security.
New Moon in Scorpio – November 8th
This New Moon is potent for members of your sign. Mars, the ruler of this New Moon, is in your own sign and forming a conjunction with Jupiter! This may fuel a fierce desire to stand out, reinvent your look, or pursue something purely for yourself under this tricky lunation! The New Moon itself lands in the deepest, most private part of your chart, offering a chance to begin anew within as you shape the version of yourself you want the world to see. You are likely to feel especially aware of any guarded feelings that come up, familial matters, memories from childhood or the past in general. With the Moon uncomfortable in the Scorpio sign, articulating what hurts might prove harder than usual. A hunger for independence could clash with domestic expectations or your own longing for comfort, or perhaps pride might make it difficult to back down. Remember, Jupiter can inflate whatever he touches! On the brighter side, the generosity of this benefic could also offer, if you’re willing to grow, greater confidence to share your feelings openly.
Venus and Mercury Stationing Direct – November 13th
Family discussions or plans involving a move or property that stalled during the retrograde could start slowly moving forward as Mercury stations direct in your sector of home and roots. Mercury does no complete its post-retrograde shadow period however until the 29th. A sensitive talk about the past might also eventually feel easier to approach. Venus turning direct this same day in your sector of communication and short trips could also represent a shift that eventually bears fruit, eventually adding warmth to everyday exchanges, or rekindling affection with a sibling or neighbor.
Sun square Mars, Jupiter + South Node Conjunction – November 15th-21st Mars, Jupiter and the South Node are all aligning in your sign, while your ruler, the Sun, is in square to this triple conjunction! This is a complex mix of energy – filled with potential friction and internal conflict. While you may yearn to assert yourself, take up more space, or chase a new venture, you might be doing this in a way that will ultimately drain you. It is probably wise to notice if an old self-image or a style of self-presentation needs to be shed first, and to make sure you aren't repeating an unhealthy pattern. And perhaps, you are being pushed to grow, to be out of your comfort zone, and that feels emotionally unstable. Your domestic life or family could also make it harder to embrace these new urges.
Sun Enters Sagittarius – November 22nd
Your ruler, the Sun, enters Sagittarius – encouraging more spontaneous fun, exciting romance, and creative adventure. A quick getaway, a new hobby, or a flirtation with someone from a different background could lift your spirits. Children and artistic projects could bring a sense of pride and joy as well.
Sun trine Neptune – November 22nd-24th
While the Sun trines Neptune, you can access joy, leisure, or perhaps creative expression through traveling, studying, teaching or spiritual exploration. A romantic connection could even blossom! But, it’s also easy to idealize a long-distance crush or allow the excitement around a potential trip or educational opportunity to cloud your judgment.
Sun opposed Uranus, sextile Pluto – November 23rd-26th
Your ruler, the Sun, is drawing your attention to what brings you joy, possibly encouraging a playful risk in love or a creative passion that takes you somewhere new. For a brief stretch, its opposition to Uranus could bring a surprising shift in a long-term aspiration, perhaps through news that changes your plans for the future, making it harder to relax and simply enjoy yourself. Friendships may feel the shake-up too, as a sudden change within your circle might nudge you toward people whose energy suits you better. Pluto, sextile the Sun at the same time, can work in your favor – helping you see what’s driving a relationship dynamic and offering a chance to renegotiate it on more equal terms.
Full Moon in Gemini – November 24th
Under this quite potent GeminiFull Moon, a long-held hope or a group effort you’ve invested in could reach a turning point, or bring a moment of emotional clarity about where you belong or what you’re working toward. The Moon is aligned with Uranus, and aspects Neptune in your sector of philosophy beliefs and worldview, which could be a spiritualizing influence. There could also be surprising news from a friend or unexpected events could transpire in your social sphere. A friendship might supply a novel idea or turn into something more meaningful. Your inner world or home life could also play a part, since Mercury, your ruler, is in Scorpio. Mercury here could prompt some private soul-searching about how family expectations or your upbringing may have influenced the dreams you currently chase. With Pluto in your relationship sector also invoked, trine the Moon, your key partnerships could be in an advanced state of transformation or perhaps a collaborator could conjure new feelings of evolutionary change. You could also experience support or insight through a partner, perhaps deepening a bond that empowers your next steps.
Mars Enters Virgo – November 25th
As Mars moves into Virgo and your second sector of values and resources, you may feel more motivated to increase your income or tackle outstanding obligations. You could also find yourself tempted to impulsively spend. This could be a more assertive period for pursuing what you want materially, and impatience with your progress could lead to frustration if things aren't arriving as quickly as you'd hoped.
Venus opposite Chiron – November 25th-29th
Communications with siblings or neighbors may have been particularly warm and pleasant lately, yet as Venus opposes Chiron, insecurity around your beliefs or education could emerge to be accepted and begin to heal. If you are feeling judged for your views or doubt your own opinions, it could make you hesitate to share them. Plans for education or travel might also hit a frustrating delay.
Sun trine Saturn – November 28th-30th
A creative ambition or romantic interest may take on greater significance as you explore new possibilities, pursue further education, or encounter ideas that change your perspective. You might feel motivated to develop your talents through formal study or take a creative pursuit more seriously after traveling or learning from someone with greater experience. Rather than rushing toward immediate results, you could begin building something with lasting potential.
This is primarily a month of introspection and internal contemplation, Virgo. You have Mercury, your chart ruler, plus Venus, in retrograde, or recovering, for nearly November’s entire span. You may find yourself questioning, or reviewing and adjusting, your very identity. The retrograde of Mercury takes place from the start of the month in your sector of communication, curiosity, and learning, also Mercury’s natural sector, and this intensifies the extent to which your mental faculties are in a process now of turning inward. Given the twin retrogrades of inner planets coloring your thoughts and reflections at this timing, the question becomes what to do with this episode of reevaluation of your communicative connections with others. One clue there is the highlighted presence of Pluto in your sixth sector of habitual day-to-day patterns, trine Uranus in your career sector. Massive transformation is indicated for your approach in these two areas, which, upon reflection, might turn out to be in need of change. We are not always happy to acknowledge the necessity of change in our life, but we also must recognize that, pure and simple, life itself is change. The GeminiFull Moon of the 24th represents a quite potent lunation that brings culmination to a significant part of this process of rethinking your vocational moves and public persona, along with more directly private considerations.
The following was written by our guest astrologer, Lauren Hansen. You can find her here .
Mercury Cazimi in Scorpio – November 4th
In the morning, you may notice your communication skills are proving especially successful and your writing is flowing! This may be a useful and impactful time for important conversations, study, or negotiation, especially within your everyday environment. Mercury in Scorpio supports investigative thinking, so you might grasp a complicated subject, spot a detail others have overlooked, or find exactly the right words for a sensitive discussion.
New Moon in Scorpio – November 8th
This probing New Moon may offer a clean slate for how you communicate, perhaps inspiring more honest conversations or a greater willingness to share what’s on your mind. This lunation also energizes the ongoing Mercury retrograde, which involves your chart ruler, and emphasizes the potential for missed communications or wayward plans, or, indeed, the questioning of your very identity that this time has brought about. Also, with the Moon unsettled in Scorpio, finding the right words for what you feel may take more effort than usual. Mars, the ruler of this New Moon, now approaching his conjunction with Jupiter in your sector of retreat, the unconscious, and inner work, brings added energy for deep investigation of your internal process. The loose square between the Sun, Moon, and Mars may create a push and pull between wanting to talk things through and needing space. Jupiter may inflate worries or tempt you to escape into distraction; and yet his wisdom could bring spiritual insight or a healing breakthrough through time alone or perhaps a form of therapy. Setting an intention to let feelings settle before voicing them could lay the groundwork for better exchanges ahead.
Venus and Mercury Stationing Direct – November 13th
A postponed conversation, short trip, or contract might finally begin to find its rhythm as your ruler, Mercury, stations direct, and the retrograde energy starts to shift. On this same day, Venus turns direct, which might slowly improve your relationship’s finances or bring on a deeper appreciation of your talents. All forms of correspondence as well as learning attempts could eventually begin to gain momentum! Mercury does not, however, escape its post-retrograde shadow period until November 29th. Your sense of security is likely to steady over time, with tangible gains following next month.
Sun square Mars, Jupiter + South Node Conjunction – November 15th-21st
Life may be busy with messages, errands, and conversations, yet behind the scenes, this conjunction could be more aggravating than you would like, perhaps bringing restless frustration or a hidden fear into awareness. A breakthrough could occur through self-reflection and alone time, but you could also be tempted to escape or act on buried anger. The South Node’s presence hints that an old self-sabotaging habit may be ready to dissolve, and your energy might run unusually low. The Sun’s square indicates friction between your busy daily life and your inner world’s demands, as constant communication or local obligations leave little room for solitude. Guarding some quiet time is likely to help you process what arises.
Sun Enters Sagittarius – November 22nd
As the Sun illuminates the subterranean sector of your chart, private, domestic, and familial matters can come into focus. Plus, the Sagittarius influence could encourage you to seek greater freedom from within certain family dynamics or to make your home a bit more expansive!
Sun trine Neptune – November 22nd-24th
As the Sun trines Neptune, compassion could help you heal an emotional pattern rooted in your family or upbringing. Forgiving a parent or opening to acceptance about a painful memory could create a sense of safety at home, and intimacy with a partner or housemate might deepen as a result. There could be confusion or deception, although these matters can be overcome. Shared property may carry expectations worth untangling.
Sun opposed Uranus, sextile Pluto – November 23rd-26th
Domestic matters and your emotional foundations are likely to take priority while the Sun moves through the very base of your chart, possibly inspiring a more honest, expansive sense of belonging. When it opposes Uranus in the coming days, an abrupt career development – sudden news, a shift in responsibilities, or an unforeseen opportunity – could pull attention away from your personal life. The Sun forms a supportive sextile to Pluto at the same time, so reorganizing your daily routine or delegating tasks may give you more control over how your energy is spent. Even if the professional shake-up feels unsettling, it might be a temporary disturbance that could give you a useful viewpoint or even free you from a path that no longer fits.
Full Moon in Gemini – November 24th
The results of your professional efforts may become more visible under the GeminiFull Moon, possibly bringing a wave of emotional clarity about where your career or public reputation is headed. This lunation also offers consideration of both public and private concerns. The Moon’s conjunction with Uranus could bring an unpredictable development at work – an exciting offer, a shift in leadership, or sudden news that could alter your plans. Though potentially destabilizing, this lunation might also release you from a situation that has felt confining. Mercury, your ruler and the ruler of this lunation, is in Scorpio, still recovering from its recent retrograde. This suggests that a career peak could unfold through communication, or a piece of information coming to light. With Neptune additionally invoked, in Aries, relationships might take on a deceptive glow or become over-idealized, or there could be a spiritual breakthrough for an intimate connection. With transformational Pluto supporting the Moon as well, you might restructure routines, attempting to set firmer boundaries around your time, or evolve by reclaiming energy you’ve been giving away.
Mars Enters Virgo – November 25th
With Mars newly ingressed into your sign, you may feel energized, competitive, or eager to do things your own way. Patience could run thin when others seem careless or get in your way but keep in mind that a quick temper can easily burn bridges. Rushing can invite burnout or accidents, but with a steady pace, that is under control, and you’re likely to accomplish an impressive amount!
Venus opposite Chiron – November 25th-29th
Thanks to a helpful placement of Venus, money matters and your sense of worth may perhaps have felt reassuringly steady lately, With Venus opposing Chiron, however, old wounds around trust or shared finances could cast a shadow over that comfort. Worrying about debt, your self-worth, or a partner’s spending could make it harder to enjoy what you’ve earned. Acceptance of your own internal flaws can be healing.
Sun trine Saturn – November 28th-30th
You may feel more invested in improving your living situation or establishing a stronger sense of stability at home. Saturn may supply obstacles or limitations, but they are also ones you can surmount. The support of the trine could make it easier to address practical matters involving shared finances, property, or family obligations without letting them become overwhelming. If you've been considering a significant domestic decision, this would be a good time to take a measured approach and accurately account for the long-term costs.
This is quite an amazing month for you, Libra, following your birthday time of the year that has brought up, to an unusual degree, issues of identity and life direction. Mercury – planet of mental pursuits and thoughtful deliberation – and Venus, your chart ruler, are both retrograde in your follow-up sign of Scorpio as November begins, introducing an introspective period when your internal principles and values are very much on the line. This is ideally a period of slowly taking your time with what you are contemplating as you review and potentially re-imagine your approach, your values, and the ends toward which you are directing your deepest efforts. In the early going, following the November 8th New Moon, your beliefs and worldview have an otherworldly freshness to them, based on the highlighted presence of Trickster Uranus in the New Moon, part of a yod to Mercury and the new Nature planet, Haumea, located in your Scorpio sector of values and resources. This timing might even reflect a new philosophical relationship with the material world itself. The two inner planets simultaneously station to direct motion on the 13th, with Mercury continuing to recover until almost the end of the month, emerging from its post-retrograde shadow period on the 29th, while Venus only reaches again the Scorpio degree where she began her retrograde by mid-December. The culmination of this contemplative and introspective November cycle hits on November 24th with the potent GeminiFull Moon at 2° of the sign, presenting as more fully baked the recently acquired novelty of your shifting worldview and putting the metaphorical icing on that cake.
The following was written by our guest astrologer, Lauren Hansen. You can find her here .
Mercury Cazimi in Scorpio – November 4th
As the day begins, your thinking around income, spending, or personal resources may sharpen – making it easier to spot a strategic way to increase your earnings or stretch what you have. You might also recognize a skill you’ve undervalued or grasp the deeper motives behind certain monetary habits.
New Moon in Scorpio – November 8th
This fierce New Moon in your second sector of values and resources could mark a fresh start in how you feel your worth, perhaps bringing awareness to how secure you are in your ability to stand on your own two feet and support yourself. Money may play a part, but the deeper shift is likely to center on self-esteem and what you believe you have to offer. Because the Moon is uncomfortable in Scorpio, these realizations or their lack may feel emotionally unsettling and insisting all is well might not help. The answer might lie in further digging down introspectively in who you really are underneath it all. The ruler of this New Moon, Mars, applies in a conjunction with Jupiter in your sector of long-term aspirations and friendships or groups you associate with productively. This factor might fuel ambition to try for a bold goal or an eagerness to lead your team toward a vision you all can share in. That ambition might test how much you trust your own abilities or tempt you to give more of your time and energy than feels sustainable. Jupiter can still inspire optimism and confidence in you, encouraging you to dream big and believe in your potential. Recognizing your value upon sincere reflection could help you pursue aspirations that align with who you are becoming.
Venus and Mercury Stationing Direct – November 13th
Your ruler, Venus, stations direct in your own sign, signaling a shift in helping you recognize what you desire, value and want out of yourself in this tumultuous set of circumstances. You win by renewing a sense of personal confidence and self-love. Mercury turns direct on this same day in your resources sector and begins its recovery of the zodiacal territory that was lost, which might take up to two more weeks. Considerations about your self-worth, any income negotiations you might be involved in, or monetary plans that may have stalled during the retrograde could slowly begin moving forward as the month winds down. Feeling more greatly resourced may follow, though complete change is likely to come slowly as both planets only inch forward at first.
Sun square Mars, Jupiter + South Node Conjunction – November 15th-21st
Long-term goals may expand this week as Mars and Jupiter in your social sector energize networking, teamwork, and big dreams. You may also recognize that reaching higher could mean stepping away from a group or friendship that no longer shares your vision. Morale within a team you are involved with could wane, or a shared cause might lose steam. Additionally, the Sun’s square shines a light on income and self-worth, so contributing time or money to collective goals could start to feel costly. It may be time to step back from anything that takes more than it gives.
Sun Enters Sagittarius – November 22nd
The Sun’s arrival in Sagittarius or your communications sector may fill your calendar with errands, short trips, or lively conversations. You might feel bolder sharing your opinions or eager to take a new class, or another learning project. Heightened curiosity could make everyday exchanges especially enjoyable. Your siblings or extended family could also become more important to you during this new solar season.
Sun trine Neptune – November 22nd-24th
Compassionate conversations, creative writing, or spiritual short trips could take place as the Sun in Sagittarius trines Neptune, while a partner or close companion could play an inspiring role. Perhaps you’ll exchange heartfelt messages, take an artistic class together, or talk through a shared dream. Sensitivity to someone’s feelings might help you choose kinder words as well.
Sun opposed Uranus, sextile Pluto – November 23rd-26th
Conversations and fresh ideas are likely to keep you busy this Sagittarius season, but as the Sun opposes Uranus over the next few days, a sudden change in travel plans or a surprising viewpoint could challenge what you thought you knew. Rather than simply unsettling you, the jolt might spark a refreshing new interest or belief. The Sun’s sextile to Pluto in Aquarius can also lend your words extra power, particularly in situations of romance or creative pursuits, which could wind up offering you a chance to voice a desire you may have held back.
Full Moon in Gemini – November 24th
The way you see the world could reach a turning point as the Moon culminates in Gemini, your sector of beliefs and worldview, bringing an emotional realization and more awareness about what you believe or where you feel yourself to be heading. The Moon is conjunct Uranus, so there could also be sudden shifts in your realizations about where you stand or unexpected invitations to travel. Surprising news could arrive as well, referencing a legal or academic matter, bringing both excitement and uncertainty. If some plans change abruptly, the shake-up might free you to pursue a path that feels more fully authentic. Because this Full Moon is ruled by Mercury, located in Scorpio or your second sector, your income, possessions, and sense of self-worth are woven into this story as well. A financial matter could come to a head, or you might more totally recognize what your skills and time are truly worth. Neptune in your opposite sign is also a highlighted component of this Full Moon, and there could be uncertainties or misconceptions regarding key relationships in your life or you could find yourself over-idealizing them. The trine between Moon and Pluto in Aquarius offers a chance to channel these revelations into a creative project that reflects who you’re now becoming, a romance that grows more meaningful, or a stronger commitment to children or whatever brings you joy.
Mars Enters Virgo – November 25th
There is energy now in examining your inner world, with Mars entering your sector of unconscious process, so that dreams may become more vivid, or your ideas about connecting to what is transpiring beneath your surface layers more active. Quiet moments could also be filled with restless self-criticism, potentially motivating you to untangle a self-defeating habit or face an old fear with methodical care.
Venus opposite Chiron – November 25th-29th
Your ruler, Venus, has been dancing in your sign, likely heightening your charm and drawing admiration your way, yet its opposition to Chiron in Aries could reopen an old relationship wound or make it available for greater acceptance and understanding. What could be coming up are past rejections or fear of not being enough. This might make it temporarily difficult to trust the affection someone offers, even if closeness is likely what you crave, and yet these drawbacks may well be the prelude to healing.
Sun trine Saturn – November 28th-30th
Conversations with a partner or close collaborator may become especially productive, particularly when you're willing to discuss expectations directly and make realistic agreements. You might also find it easier to address a lingering disagreement with a sibling, neighbor, or someone in your everyday environment. A willingness to listen carefully and choose your words thoughtfully could help establish greater trust, especially when a conversation involves a serious commitment.
This is an interesting month for you, Scorpio, in your season. The factor of introspection that everyone will be dealing with this month is happening for you in spades, with Mercury in retrograde motion through your sign from its very beginning, and what is more, Venus, too, seemingly moving backwards through the early degrees of your sign, and then through the last decan of Libra, your sector of unconscious process and inner work. Mercury, along with Venus, stations to direct motion on the 13th but afterwards is still recovering for another two weeks or more, escaping its post-retrograde shadow only on the 29th. You will likely be revisioning issues of your very identity, attempting to get your mind resolved on how to see yourself getting through the remainder of the 2026 year, and beyond, and to what end. Also up for review and revision would be your important one-on-one relationships, because Venus, ruler of Libra, is also the ruler of Taurus, your opposite sign, and hence your seventh sector of partnership interaction. All this is amplified on the weekend before the inner planet retrogrades shift to direct motion, when the New Moon in your sign magnifies the deeply reflective symptoms of the retrograde and begins the next chapter in your ongoing personal metamorphosis. The Full Moon two weeks later represents a culmination of this because the Gemini position of the Moon lies in almost perfect trine to transformational Pluto in your fourth solar sector of home and family concerns and your psychological internal awareness of profound internal process.

Mercury Cazimi in Scorpio – November 4th Mercury’s morning Cazimi in your sign could give you sharp insight and a keen perspective on your identity or something new you’d like to begin! This is an ideal time to voice what you want or share an idea with confidence. You can find the right words to advocate for yourself and a smart strategy for the year ahead could all come more easily.
New Moon in Scorpio – November 8th
Two of the most powerful sectors in your chart are activated at once, the first and the tenth, making this a potentially significant moment. This self-defining New Moon in your sign could set a new course for how you carry yourself, care for your body, or pursue what you want from life. An old persona or identity might be ready to shed, making room for a more authentic way of showing up! Although, the Moon is in Scorpio – which implies that emotions can run heavy and deep. At the same time, your ruler, Mars, is forming a conjunction with Jupiter in your tenth sector of public life and achievement, possibly bringing a strong push for recognition or an opportunity that calls for courage. The loose square the Sun and Moon are forming with Mars may pit personal needs against professional demands; clashing with someone in authority or refusing to budge on how things should be done might stall your progress. Jupiter could exaggerate ambition until you overcommit, and yet his optimism can also open doors or help you move the needle forward.
Venus and Mercury Stationing Direct – November 13th Mercury stations direct in your sign, and on the day, itself, this could presage considerable difficulty in finding easy expression. Of course, over the time-span of a week or two, Mercury’s direct motion will make it easier to speak up for yourself, voice your perspective, or set important personal plans in motion. The fog surrounding what new ventures to begin or how to present yourself could also begin to clear. Mercury finally escapes its post-retrograde shadow period on the 29th. On the very same day, Venus turns direct, which could eventually bring peace to financial matters or could renew feelings of compassion for yourself and others. Some feelings will still prefer to stay unspoken, as both planets are only just starting to move forward.
Sun square Mars, Jupiter + South Node Conjunction – November 15th-21st
With the Sun moving through your sign, personal needs, health, and self-image have been taking priority. Yet for the next week, your ruler, Mars, sits with Jupiter at the top of your chart, fueling ambition, a hunger for recognition, or a gutsy career move, and the square between them may leave you torn between self-care and professional demands. The South Node adds another layer, suggesting that a title or path you’ve outgrown might need releasing, even if it once defined your success. Clashes with a boss could flare, and overworking may leave you running on empty. Choosing ambitions that reflect who you are now could make sacrifice feel worthwhile.
Sun Enters Sagittarius – November 22nd
You might feel motivated to pursue greater financial independence, explore new earning opportunities, or reconsider what makes you feel materially secure while the Sun travels through Sagittarius. You’ll likely be more confident in your abilities and personal value, perhaps recognizing a talent worth developing.
Sun trine Neptune – November 22nd-24th
Helping a coworker, client, or someone in need might remind you how valuable your skills are, lifting both your self-worth and earning potential. A gentler or more spiritually geared routine could ease money stress, too. Still, a soft heart might blur the line between kindness and over giving, and clear terms could protect what you’ve earned.
Sun opposed Uranus, sextile Pluto – November 23rd-26th
With the Sun drawing attention to your sector of income and self-worth, you might be eager to expand your earnings or trust your own value more fully. The Sun’s opposition to Uranus, peaking for just a few days, could complicate that – bringing unexpected news about a shared account or debt, or a conversation that goes squirrelly enough to shift the balance toward the unknown. The jolt could feel destabilizing, yet it might also helpfully highlight where you’ve been leaning on others. Pluto’s sextile to the Sun can encourage change lend steadiness from within, offering insight into how your roots may have shaped what security means to you and a chance to redefine it. Drawing on that inner strength could help you claim financial independence on your own terms.
Full Moon in Gemini – November 24th
The GeminiFull Moon dawns in your sector of intimacy and personal evolution, also partnership agreements, potentially bringing emotions into the open you’ve previously held close. The Moon’s conjunction with Uranus there could indicate surprising news or unexpected revelations about a joint matter with a key relationship, perhaps, shifting how you see a situation. There could be novel developments within intimate connections or even within your own understanding of what you have going on in the deeper layers of your psyche. Because Mercury rules this lunation and is in your own sign, you may find yourself unexpectedly evolving beyond past limitations. This powerful lunation, with aspects from Sun and Moon to both Pluto and Neptune, could release you from an old fear or a pattern of dependence that could have kept you stuck, or underscore your own inherently mystical side. Pluto’s harmonious angle to the Moon can also steady you from the ground up, perhaps through support from family or a deeper understanding of how your past has shaped your sense of safety.
Mars Enters Virgo – November 25th
Your ruler, Mars, could direct your drive toward long-term goals, supporting you to map out a more precise plan or take the lead in improving a group effort. Disorganized friends or teammates could perhaps test your patience, or lead to friction, and yet feedback within your circle or self-examination may instead improve your outlook.
Venus opposite Chiron – November 25th-29th
Time away from daily demands may have felt especially restorative lately, whether through quiet retreats, spiritual practice, or private acts of compassion. However, Venus opposing Chiron could bring stress connected to relationship or health concerns, or feeling unappreciated, making it harder to fully relax. Self-criticism about whether you're doing enough might prompt to look more closely into these feelings and attempt to better accept yourself at deep levels.
Sun trine Saturn – November 28th-30th
This aspect may indicate obstacles coming up and yet with the caveat that your own innate ability can overcome these. Likely there are also lessons to be learned. Perhaps you’ll realize that your ability to earn money or make better use of your skills could benefit from a more disciplined approach. Consistent effort could begin to show tangible results, especially if you've been developing a skill or taking on new responsibilities. You might also feel more confident establishing firmer expectations around what your time and labor are worth.
.
This is a month with a great deal of introspection and soul-searching, Sagittarius. As the month begins, Mercury and Venus are both retrograde in Scorpio – corresponding to your sector of dream imagination, unconscious process, and inner work. You will be mentally heading down and in rather than your usual up and out, attempting to better understand yourself in these deeper layers of your being. This hidden component of your psyche is actually far vaster than your daytime consciousness – with which it yet has little direct contact. The introspective period of these inner planet retrogrades lasts throughout the November month. Although they both station to direct motion on the 13th, Mercury does not escape its post-retrograde shadow period until the 29th. The Scorpio lunation cycle that began on November 8th with the New Moon also lasts through the first week of December. Your communicative outreach and mental activity continue to be subjected to deep reflection and a transformative process throughout the November month. The GeminiFull Moon of the 24th, in particular, with the Sun in the early degrees of your sign, makes for another extremely significant lunation, when your communications, creative self-expression, and relationship dynamic are all affected. You will likely come out the other side of this end-of-year period a very different person than when you entered it.
The following was written by our guest astrologer, Lauren Hansen. You can find her here .
Mercury Cazimi in Scorpio – November 4th
In Scorpio, this Cazimi hits in your unconscious places, where Mercury at the heart of the Sun for these brief hours, sparks clarity. Quiet reflection in the early morning hours PT could bring a meaningful insight or signal the unwinding of a current conundrum. Perhaps if a fear is being invoked, or an unconscious habit has been self-limiting, your reflections could lead to some honest self-examination, which can facilitate a mental breakthrough!
New Moon in Scorpio – November 8th
This soul-searching New Moon in your twelfth sector of dream imagination, unconscious process, and inner work may open a gentle doorway to spiritual healing, perhaps by facing a fear or simply taking much-needed time to reflect on your hidden places. You could also benefit by being separate from others or from “productivity.” You might be ready to recognize a self-defeating pattern that could be available to be released. Because the Moon is out of her comfort zone in Scorpio, emotions surfacing in still moments now could feel heavy or intense. In the context of the Mercury retrograde, this New Moon could boost your awareness of necessary inner work. Mars, the ruler of this New Moon, is in Leo, approaching his conjunction with your planetary ruler, Jupiter! Within your sector of beliefs, worldview, and exploration, this planetary combination is potentially fueling a brand-new, fervent urge to chase a big idea, plan a journey, or defend what you believe. The Sun and Moon’s loose square to Mars could set in motion private doubts at odds with outward conviction. Jupiter could also exaggerate your sense of certainty! This New Moon can therefore also offer faith, new perspectives, or a philosophical internal voice that supports your healing.
Venus and Mercury Stationing Direct – November 13th Venus stations direct in your sector of networks and future hopes, which could make a collaboration feel more balanced or help a vision come together. If you’ve been reconsidering whether a friendship feels reciprocal, you may feel more prepared to reconnect, renegotiate expectations, or pursue a shared goal. With Mercury turning direct too in this timing, a realization about an old fear might come to you, or an unresolved situation could slowly begin to ease. Over the next two weeks of Mercury’s post-retrograde period, leading to the 29th, the mental planet can eventually make it easier to decide what comes next!
Sun square Mars, Jupiter + South Node Conjunction – November 15th-21st
You may deeply need to retreat and recharge, but with this square it might also be time to go on a big trip or undertake a new course of study. Jupiter, uniting with Mars and the South Node in your ninth sector of higher mind, the most adventurous and expansive corner of your chart, while the Sun squares them from the quiet, introspective sector of unconscious process, can result in questioning your beliefs and adjusting your worldview. A specific form of faith you once counted on might start to feel outdated or fall apart. Hidden fears or sheer exhaustion can slow you down just when you want to leap ahead! Some of the wisest journeys begin in stillness.
Sun Enters Sagittarius – November 22nd
Happy solar season! The Sun’s return to your sign may boost your confidence and vitality, perhaps inspiring a new outlook, fresh personal goals, or an adventure pursued on your own terms. Your enthusiasm could be contagious, drawing people and opportunities toward you.
Sun trine Neptune – November 22nd-24th
With Neptune in the fellow Fire sign of Aries, corresponding to your creativity sector, this trine could bring romantic experiences, boosts for original projects, or inspirational time spent with any children in your life, all of which could engender a more imaginative expression of your identity. You might also feel more comfortable showing your sensitive and artistic side or taking a chance on someone who seems to fulfill your ideals. Even so, the line between true connection and wishful thinking might feel thin; letting a bond unfold gradually can show whether the magic lasts.
Sun opposed Uranus, sextile Pluto – November 23rd-26th
Personal goals and the way you present yourself are likely to become a central focus as the Sun travels through your sign, possibly boosting your confidence and appetite for freedom. Just as momentum builds around your own plans, though, the Sun’s opposition to Uranus may throw a partnership off balance, perhaps through an unanticipated decision from someone close or a contract that changes at the last minute. Your words carry extra weight, too, since the Sun sextiles Pluto in Aquarius – a well-timed conversation, a carefully written message, or insight from someone nearby could help you reclaim your voice and shape the outcome.
Full Moon in Gemini – November 24th
This Full Moon is in your opposite sign, which is your relationship sector, so this lunation could bring up issues of self and other. The way you relate to key partners in your life could reach a meaningful peak. With Uranus conjoining the Moon, there could be surprise events connected to someone you’re tied to, whether personally or professionally. A partner might also admit to a change of heart about some mutual idea or express a need for greater freedom. This lunation could also open space for a more honest, less predictable, and more fulfilling connection. The Moon is also sextile Neptune and trine Pluto, creating a transformational roller coaster that could affect how you see your personal creativity unfolding. The Full Moon’s ruler, Mercury, is in Scorpio in the private, behind-the-scenes area of your chart, so much of what you’re processing may happen internally before you’re ready to share it. The Pluto trine may give your words unusual power and additionally help you choose the right moment to speak and express what you need.
Mars Enters Virgo – November 25th
With Mars’ ingress into your tenth sector of career and professional life, ambition may run high. Your energized inner attitude might inspire you to prove your competence or fine-tune every detail of a demanding project. Clashes could flare, plus the edgy energy of friction could spark an argument; maybe over how things should be done. Leaving a role that wastes your talents might feel more than tempting.
Venus opposite Chiron – November 25th-29th
You might be in a phase of having an especially good time with friends, surrounding yourself with the right people to help you make a dream happen or simply enjoy working on a long-term goal. Venus’ opposition to Chiron, the Wounded Healer, could briefly touch a sore spot around creative confidence. An old heartbreak could leave you holding back in a group. These issues of ancient trauma can be partially healed by an outpouring of love and acceptance from your conscious self toward hidden hurt places buried within you.
Sun trine Saturn – November 28th-30th
You may feel more confident pursuing something that genuinely excites you, and making it more concrete, whether that's a romantic interest, a creative ambition, or a personal project you've wanted to take seriously. Saturn's limits and support could help you approach these pursuits with greater patience, giving you the discipline to keep going when progress takes time. Rather than relying on enthusiasm alone, you may be ready to invest consistent effort in something you want to see grow.
This is another quite dicey month for you, Capricorn, with outer planet impacts still present and with inner planet retrogrades affecting your social sector in the midst of an introspective period. There is activity within your sector of career and professional life, with something of a strain on your vocational concerns. You may well be questioning facets of what you do out in the world, perhaps looking into how that could become better aligned with what you most deeply believe. You are likely to be in a reflective mode this month that also affects the way you see your friendships and group affiliations continuing to evolve. Your long-term goals are likely more up in the air than they were a month ago. Your resources and values, including financial ones, are unmistakably evolving. The ScorpioNew Moon of November 8th may initiate new wrinkles in the retrograde slow-down, plus adjustments. There could also be a further shift when Mercury and Venus simultaneously station direct on the 13th. Since they are then hardly moving, the retrograde symptoms persist for at least two more weeks, gradually tapering off. Because Mercury at the moment of its station aspects Saturn, your ruler, there is a decided emphasis in this latter timing on deep contemplation; you could be wondering where you might be headed as this crazy year unwinds. Then, the 17th marks the First Quarter Moon in your sector of values and resources, potentially making waves with finances, and with the higher purpose of understanding your true values. The very powerful Full Moon of the 24th brings the transformational effects of Uranus and Pluto back in play, and greatly increases the pressure on all these areas, including habitual behaviors that may be out of step with who you now are, or are becoming.

Mercury Cazimi in Scorpio – November 4th
An early conversation over morning coffee with a friend or professional contact could spark a useful idea about your future plans. With Mercury in the heart of the Sun, and in Scorpio, you might view a group dynamic more clearly, identify a promising connection, or develop a more strategic approach to a long-term goal you’ve been working toward.
New Moon in Scorpio – November 8th
Under this emotionally potent New Moon in your social sector, your approach to long-term goals – and to the people you pursue them with – could make for a fresh start. An emerging aspiration may be ready to take root. Mars, the ruler of this New Moon, also comes cutting in from your sector of depth research, psychological shadows and shared resources, guaranteeing energy for intimacy and for attempting to better understand yourself and your important relationships below the surface layers. A collaboration could perhaps raise uncomfortable questions between you, with an emphasis on getting to the truth at the bottom of things. With the Moon in her fall, voicing these frustrations could feel harder than usual, so that resentment as well as intense reflection over partnership issues could manifest. Jupiter’s presence conjunct Mars could amplify this tension, yet also bring opportunity, so there could be unexpectedly positive outcomes in the long run, or a form of rebirth for key partnerships. Honest conversations about what you need and what you’re willing to share are likely to lay the groundwork for alliances built to last.
Venus and Mercury Stationing Direct – November 13th
Conversations with friends or collaborators may slowly begin moving forward as both Mercury and Venus station direct on the same day. This may involve revisiting a shared plan or making progress toward a longer-term goal. If group dynamics have felt tricky, issues may begin to clear up now and over the next two weeks of Mercury’s post-retrograde shadow period. Venus stationing direct in your career sector, which it also rules, is likely to begin fostering goodwill with someone in authority or bringing more grace and success to a professional negotiation. You may also feel more prepared to pursue an opportunity or address an imbalance on the job. Someone in your network might start to champion your work!
Sun square Mars, Jupiter + South Node Conjunction – November 15th-21st
All this week, Mars and Jupiter conjoin the South Lunar Node in your sector of intimacy, depth exploration, and shared resources which could heighten partnership desire springing from deep inside you, enhance sexual experiences, or encourage moves involving shared money with key partnerships. There may be an old psychological pattern or an emotional tie from past life experiences that has run its course and needs to change. Resources shared with someone may be celebrated or energized. The Sun’s presence in Scorpio puts your friendships and long-term goals in the spotlight, so a friend’s needs or group commitment could compete with a partner for your attention. Choosing to release what feels depleting or outdated might be rewarding, opening the way for something better.
Sun Enters Sagittarius – November 22nd
As the Sun slips into Sagittarius, your sector of retreat, unconscious process, and inner work, you may crave more solitude and quiet reflection in these next few weeks. You might feel drawn to spend more time away from public demands, reflect on personal matters, or better investigate habits that typically operate beneath your awareness. A broader perspective on these private struggles could help you recognize where a different approach is needed.
Sun trine Neptune – November 22nd-24th
You may feel pulled to spend time at home or reflect on family history – helping you approach a private struggle with greater compassion or emotional understanding. A spiritual component might emerge. You might feel more willing to forgive a relative or revisit an old memory with a softer perspective. A nostalgic view of the past could soften harder truths that are worth looking into.
Sun opposed Uranus, sextile Pluto – November 23rd-26th
During this short transit, just when you may prefer to work quietly behind the scenes, or get in some alone time, an abrupt change at your job or a shake-up in your routine could thrust you back into motion. The Sun opposing Uranus could also prompt you to rethink ways in which you have been sacrificing your energy, and the shift could prove liberating. The Sun’s sextile to Pluto is likely to help you dig deep within yourself to notice where your time and money are going, and to what end. This offers you the chance to redirect toward what truly supports you.
Full Moon in Gemini – November 24th
The duties you shoulder each day, and the strain they may place on your body, could come to a head under the GeminiFull Moon in your sixth sector of service and day-to-day habitual patterns. The Moon’s alignment with Uranus could additionally bring up unexpected events or revelations concerning your habits or work environment such as a sudden schedule change, or news that disrupts your usual routines. Though unsettling, this could also nudge you toward making changes in support of a way of living and working that suits you better. Due to Mercury, ruler of the GeminiFull Moon, residing currently in Scorpio, your social sector, and recovering from its recent retrograde, you may realize how your daily tasks could better serve your dreams and long-term ambitions. This Full Moon represents a strong juncture with ideals and transformation lurking in the wings. A greater spiritual component may appear in connection with home and family matters. You might recognize how a friendship could be celebrated or need to be adjusted. The Sun and Moon in flowing aspect with Pluto in Aquarius indicates an opportunity to respond with purpose, perhaps by protecting your energy as a valuable resource, or better recognizing your own self-worth, perhaps including that you deserve more than you may have been receiving.
Mars Enters Virgo – November 25th
You may feel a strong desire to sharpen or share your knowledge with a steady determination as Mars ingresses your sector of beliefs and worldview. Travel plans may receive greater attention although, if on a trip, conflicts could arise. Debates about beliefs might turn critical unless you can temper your impulses with a tad of caution.
Venus opposite Chiron – November 25th-29th
Professional matters may have been flowing more smoothly lately, with Venus in your career sector shaking off her retrograde. However, as Venus briefly opposes Chiron, you may become emotionally uncomfortable in some way. It could be that insecurities about your domestic dynamics interrupt your vocational momentum or cause you to reflect on healing old wounds.
Sun trine Saturn – November 28th-30th
You may run into obstacles or benefit from having more time and space to yourself, particularly if you are carrying responsibilities that leave little room for rest. Saturn's support could help you establish firmer boundaries at home or with family, making it easier to protect your privacy without neglecting important commitments. You might also feel more prepared to address a long-standing domestic concern privately, especially if you've reached a more realistic understanding of what you can actually change.
This month makes for quite a stew, Aquarius, with the outer planet activation as you have been experiencing ever since the height of summer, especially the personal metamorphosis indicated by highlighted Pluto in your sign. You have been making significant evolutionary changes for months now, and the hits just keep on coming. As November gets underway, both Mercury and Venus are retrograde in Scorpio, or your career sector. This entire month thus represents an introspective period, when you will be rethinking vocational choices and potentially making significant adjustments. Both Mercury and Venus station direct on the 13th, indicating a shift, although Mercury, in recovery, remains introspective, persisting through to the 29th. Another important moment is the First Quarter Moon in your sign on November 17th, which features an extremely close triple conjunction of Jupiter, the South Node, and Mars in your opposite sign of Leo, and indicates a potential “crisis in action” for your relationships. A week later, the GeminiFull Moon of the 24th makes for another significant juncture – when Pluto in your sign is again featured, along with Uranus in your sector of creativity and romance, indicating novel developments there. The impulse for evolutionary change within you is taking place right now in many areas, including your long-term goals and creativity, plus your vocation, and, indeed, your very identity.

Mercury Cazimi in Scorpio – November 4th
As the workday begins, Mercury in the heart of the Sun exudes greater clarity in your thought process. Productive meetings can become the real starting point of the day as you seek to move your professional plans forward. With strategic thinking, you may even recognize a more effective way to navigate a complicated workplace situation!
New Moon in Scorpio – November 8th
This regenerative New Moon offers up a clean slate in your professional life, bringing renewed clarity about where your career or public persona is headed and what you want to build next. Because the Moon is in its fall in Scorpio, feelings about your work or status could run deep and yet prove hard to voice. Partnerships may be where some heat rises, as Mars, the ruler of this New Moon, approaches his conjunction with Jupiter in your sector of one-on-one relationships. A partner, client, or even an open rival could push you toward a big move or demand more attention for your true goals. Tension is likely present as the Sun and Moon form a loose square with Mars – a stubborn standoff that could out in a number of different ways. Jupiter could perhaps overinflate expectations or might also celebrate them. Jupiter could portray a generous ally or provide a collaboration that elevates your public standing and work, and might affirm your deeper understanding of your internal priorities and most uniquely personal principles and values and the way that these can come to be aligned with your work in the world. Knowing when to hold your ground and when to compromise may help you to advance without losing an important bond.
Venus and Mercury Stationing Direct – November 13th Mercury stationing direct, and Venus too on the same day, may help you make progress on a career decision or professional situation that has been difficult to resolve. If you’ve been reconsidering your direction or how you want to be perceived by others, you might in weeks to come feel more prepared to communicate your intentions or pursue an opportunity. As Venus stations direct, too, you might feel inspired to commit to a trip or course of study that aligns with what you deeply value. Relationships with mentors or people from different backgrounds could begin to feel more compatible, or a belief you’ve been reassessing might change to sit more comfortably!
Sun square Mars, Jupiter + South Node Conjunction – November 15th-21st
Relationships may feel remarkably charged and/or draining this week. A partner, friend, or client could bring an exciting opportunity, or perhaps a fiery disagreement, as Mars and Jupiter in forming opposition to the First Quarter Moon of the 17th in your sign heat up your one-on-one connections. True growth at this time might involve separating from a dynamic that’s run its course, or recognizing where you give more than you receive. Career and professional life are likely to demand your attention as well, since the Sun squares this trio from your vocational sector, and juggling professional pressures with a partner’s expectations could create collaboration or friction. Sorting out which commitments are worth fighting for may bring relief, versus which could possibly be ready to fade.
Sun Enters Sagittarius – November 22nd
As the Sun moves through Sagittarius, your social life may expand through a group that shares your interests, you could meet people who broaden your perspective, or feel newly inspired to pursue an ambitious goal! Your hopes for the future come into focus and they may even feel more attainable.
Sun trine Neptune – November 22nd-24th
It may be easier to envision a long-held dream and take inspired steps toward it as the Sun trines Neptune. A conversation involving forgiveness could deepen a friendship, involvement in a cause could help you speak on your ideals, and sharing your vision could rally support. Even so, a dream seen through rose-colored glasses might need a practical plan before it fully takes shape.
Sun opposed Uranus, sextile Pluto – November 23rd-26th
With the Sun highlighting your vision for the future and the people you hope to build it with, you might feel inspired to think bigger about where you’re headed. During this short window, though, its opposition to Uranus could spark a sudden crush or a flash of creative inspiration that pulls you away from group plans. Balancing shared goals with personal delight might feel tricky, yet the surprise may remind you to make room for spontaneity. What makes this especially significant is Pluto’s presence in your own sign, sextile the Sun. Its ongoing work of reshaping how you see yourself and how you show up could lend you a magnetic sense of personal power right now, making it easier to state clearly what you want. Owning your desires, rather than shrinking them to fit the group, is likely to serve you well.
Full Moon in Gemini – November 24th
The GeminiFull Moon comes alive with outer planet connections that bring personal transformation; like Neptune in your sector of communications and learning, bringing a spiritual perspective that might also be confusing. Pluto in your sign brings transformation of your very identity, helping you to embody what’s coming to light with new confidence and personal power This Full Moon is also perhaps clarifying what brings you joy or where your passions want to lead you. With Uranus fused to the Moon, a romantic connection might take an electrifying turn, a creative idea could arrive out of nowhere, or news involving a child may throw you a curveball. Even as it rattles pre-existing plans, the shift might encourage you to enjoy life in a freer, less predictable and more independent way. Since Mercury, ruler of this Full Moon, is in Scorpio, your professional life and personal values are part of the picture as well. A private talk with a boss or mentor may clarify where you stand, and recognition for a creative effort might follow. Mercury here favors discretion, so sharing too much too soon may not serve you.
Mars Enters Virgo – November 25th
Tackling debt or tax paperwork could become a pressing priority, and Mars in Virgo encourages a more investigative approach to these matters – helping you identify discrepancies and push for practical solutions. Plus, physical desires can run high, although a partner’s inability to be emotionally intimate or honest could be frustrating.
Venus opposite Chiron – November 25th-29th
Travel plans may be coming together beautifully lately, or you might be enjoying a course that broadens your perspective and a supportive relationship with a teacher. However, Venus opposing Chiron could make you sensitive to feeling intellectually inadequate, especially if a teacher criticizes your work or you struggle to communicate your thoughts clearly. These moments might temporarily dampen your enthusiasm for learning or exploring unfamiliar places. Sun trine Saturn – November 28th-30th
Your friendships and professional connections may become more useful as you work toward a long-term ambition with diligence. A conversation, recommendation, or piece of information from someone in your wider network could help you make a more informed decision about your next steps. You may also feel more confident speaking up about your plans, especially when you've done the research and can explain what you're proposing with clarity and conviction.
This is an intense, interesting, and somewhat confounding month for you, Pisces. This is due in part to the simultaneous retrogrades from the very beginning of November of Mercury and Venus. These are the rulers of signs associated with important sectors of your solar chart: home and family concerns, relationship connection, intimacy, and your communicative outreach; are all subject to review, revision, and adjustment. Another huge astrological factor here is the continuing presence of transformative outer planets in some of these same areas. The aftermath of the TaurusFull Moon from the last full week of October also contributes in early November to a powerful presence of Pluto in your twelfth sector of unconscious process and inner work. You could find that much of what is going on for you is taking place in hidden places deep within your psyche where you may need to half-close your eyes to grasp the answers that you seek. With the retrogrades, this entire month represents a thoroughly introspective and reflective time period. Mercury and Venus simultaneously station to direct motion on the 13th and yet Mercury does not escape its post-retrograde shadow until nearly the very end of November. The GeminiFull Moon of November 24th marks another quite potent lunation when Uranus is featured in your family scene, bringing additional unexpected events and surprising revelations to this important area.
The following was written by our guest astrologer, Lauren Hansen. You can find her here .
Mercury Cazimi in Scorpio – November 4th
During the morning of the 4th (PT) extra clarity is available as Mercury lingers in the heart of the Sun for a few hours. You could receive positive news about a travel plan or find out you’re accepted into a school or educational program. A morning lecture, class, or conversation with a teacher could also fantastically broaden your perspective. This is also a typically productive time for research and serious study.
New Moon in Scorpio – November 8th
This expansive New Moon in your sector of beliefs and worldview could point you toward a new direction in what ideas you espouse or hope to learn. A mentor’s guidance or a subject that captivates you might become the start of a more meaningful path. Since the Moon is ill at ease in Scorpio, questioning a long-held belief could bring up more emotion than you had expected, and that may weigh on your attitude. Mars, the ruler of this New Moon, lies in your sector of service, day-to-day environments, and health, where he’s approaching a conjunction with Jupiter, your ruler. Your workload could swell, an exciting job opportunity might arise, or you may feel driven to overhaul a wellness routine. You might be making a fresh start on certain habitual behaviors that no longer serve you. Under the Sun and Moon’s loose square to Mars, practical demands could clash with your bigger vision, or pride might make it hard to ask for help or even slow down. Jupiter may sit well with these changes or ask you to overextend! Your identity could be in need of energizing in some way and may respond. A helpful coworker could show up, or you could find a healing approach that works better for your body.
Venus and Mercury Stationing Direct – November 13th
As Mercury stations direct in your sector of beliefs and worldview, you might experience a shift in your energy for travel plans, legal paperwork, or studies. Mercury is standing still and will gradually begin to move forward once more, eventually escaping its post-retrograde shadow by the 29th. As Venus turns direct the same day, this might ultimately help you renegotiate a joint financial arrangement or restore reciprocity in a close bond. Recent glitches or guardedness around trust could begin to ease. Venus recovers its lost zodiacal ground, escaping its shadow period, by December 15th.
Sun square Mars, Jupiter + South Node Conjunction – November 15th-21st
Whether your daily work truly aligns with what you believe in may become a pressing question this week. As the Sun squares your ruler, Jupiter, along with Mars and the South Node, ideals and practical demands could collide! Your schedule might be filled with ambitious tasks or a sudden chance to take on more, yet pushing too hard could leave your body inflamed or exhausted. The South Node suggests a job, routine, or habit of over-giving may be ready to fall away, even if it once felt like your cup of tea. Plans to travel or study may also compete with everyday obligations. A healthier, more meaningful rhythm is likely to emerge once you stop trying to do it all.
Sun Enters Sagittarius – November 22nd
The Sun newly ingressed into your career sector might allow you to feel motivated to pursue a professional opportunity, take on a more visible role, or set your sights on a higher ambition. Recognition for your efforts may arrive as the Sun climbs to the top of your chart, and career goals, along with your standing among those in authority, are likely to become increasingly important. Your desire to do work that feels purposeful or more aligned with your innermost values could take you over as you settle into Sagittarius season.
Sun trine Neptune – November 22nd-24th
Your professional ambitions could become more closely connected to your personal values, inspiring you to pursue work that feels meaningful rather than merely practical, or that has a spiritual component. You might recognize a creative talent worth developing or imagine a career path that better reflects your ideals. However, you might need to be careful not to confuse an appealing vision with a more viable opportunity, so that you look before you leap.
Sun opposed Uranus, sextile Pluto – November 23rd-26th
With Sagittarius at the helm, you might feel drawn toward a role that reflects what you deeply believe in. There could be sudden realizations now around that effort. Your private life could demand equal attention during this brief opposition, and domestic matters could present surprises. Highlighted Uranus brings a twist on the domestic front – sudden news, a surprise change in living arrangements, or greater independence there – and it could make staying focused on your work more difficult. Since the Sun is sextile Pluto in Aquarius, or your twelfth sector of inner work, quiet reflection or a meditative stance could be your secret weapon.
Full Moon in Gemini – November 24th
You might reach an exciting personal realization under this Full Moon in your home and family sector. You might open the door to a different relationship with your family, find a greater sense of freedom in your personal life, or perhaps gain a better understanding of what makes you feel secure and emotionally fulfilled. With Uranus conjunct the Moon here, an unexpected insight or shift in perspective could help you see your past in a new light. You may recognize an old pattern you’re ready to move beyond or discover that what once made you feel safe no longer reflects who you are becoming. Mercury, this Full Moon’s ruler, is in Scorpio, or your sector of beliefs and worldview, where you might be rethinking a long-held belief or reconsidering a plan for the future. A conversation with a friend who sees the world differently in some ways, could be mystical or spiritualizing, or perhaps encourage you to consider novel perspectives. Pluto’s trine to the Moon from Aquarius may help you explore the deeper motivations behind your emotional responses, perhaps making it easier to understand what you need to feel truly grounded.
Mars Enters Virgo – November 25th
Relationships could feel charged, sparking impulsive attraction or a sudden push to fix what isn’t working with a partner. A critical rival could step forward, so that picking apart each other’s flaws might lead to conflict. Independence is likely to feel especially important, with a desire to handle matters your own way even within a close bond.
Venus opposite Chiron – November 25th-29th
While Chiron, the Wounded Healer, opposes Venus, your emotional and physical intimacy may not be flowing quite so well. You could become painfully aware of insecurities around your worth or ability to make money. Accepting support might feel uncomfortable. The plus side is that awareness of inner wounding helps in the healing. Acceptance and loving attention to ancient hurt can work wonders.
Sun trine Saturn – November 28th-30th
Increased focus on long-term goals or your public reputation could help you build a steadier financial footing as the Sun and Saturn trine. Your professional efforts could gain recognition now, providing an opportunity to earn fairer pay or the option to raise your rates. A mature attitude around earning, spending, and your own sense of self-worth is likely to guide you toward wiser resourcefulness that supports your most important ambitions.
