November 1, 2025 — November begins in the midst of great confusion and electric change. Mercury opposed Uranus on October 29, triggering revelations and disruptions that jolted our nervous systems and spun our minds into overdrive. The intensity continues as Mars opposes Uranus on November 4, igniting courage, hairpin turns, and chaos. Neptune hovers at the final degree of Pisces, further destabilizing us by blurring boundaries and obscuring truth. Surreality reigns as old structures dissolve and uncertainty deepens. The key is to release our need for control and Trust with a capital T, especially since we can’t see what’s next.

The urge to break free is immense this month. Yet amid Uranus’s lightning bolts, November invites us to slow down and integrate the upheaval that’s been rampant since late July. Three consecutive Grand Water Trines—anchored by a rare Jupiter-Saturn trine—offer profound healing and emotional support throughout the latter half of the month. This is a welcome relief. At the same time, Mercury retrograde turns us inward for reflection, review, and recalibration. November is a beautiful month for rest and retreat and to forgive ourselves for any trouble we've found ourselves in. The Grand Water Trines are ready to wash away our jagged edges and allow us grace.

Liberation and breakthrough surge throughout this month. The planets are encouraging us to let go of whatever keeps us confined—suppressed desires, inauthentic expression, outdated relationships, and limiting beliefs—while deepening our capacity for truth. We’re invited to embrace sudden shifts while also taking the time to process, feel, and integrate.

By month’s end, we’ll have slingshotted into more aligned chapters, leaving old constraints and obstacles behind. Neptune’s dreaminess reminds us that we don’t need perfect clarity to move forward. We only need to surrender and allow for our divine unfolding.

NOVEMBER 2025 TRANSITS

MARS IN SAGITTARIUS, OPPOSITE URANUS

On November 4, Mars enters Sagittarius and immediately opposes Uranus in Gemini, bringing sudden bursts of energy and a powerful urge for freedom. This transit can manifest as reckless impulses or courageous breakthroughs, depending on how consciously we work with it. The call to adventure is strong, but so is the potential for accidents or hasty decisions. It would be wise to channel this dynamic energy into constructive action rather than reactive rebellion. Physical movement, creative projects, and bold conversations can help discharge the intensity. We might prepare for plans to shift unexpectedly.

TAURUS FULL MOON

The Full Moon in Taurus arrives on November 5, helping us ground and stabilize even as the Mars–Uranus opposition pulls us toward change. Taurus reminds us to return to our bodies, values, and whatever makes us feel secure. This Full Moon can illuminate what we truly need versus what we've been clinging to out of habit or fear. It’s an invitation to practice stability and release at the same time.

VENUS IN SCORPIO

Between November 6 and 8, Venus enters intimate Scorpio, and relationships intensify. The apex Yod formation with Neptune and Uranus, plus a tense square with Pluto in Aquarius, creates a complex emotional landscape. Love becomes transformational, perhaps uncomfortably so. Hidden dynamics surface, and power struggles may emerge—but so can profound closeness for those willing to be vulnerable. Venus in Scorpio demands truth and interpersonal courage.

URANUS RE-ENTERS TAURUS

On November 7, Uranus retrograde re-enters Taurus for its final transit through the sign until April 2026. One last time, we’re directing transformative energy toward our material reality, values, and relationship with the Earth. Changes may unfold more slowly now, but they'll be harder to reverse. This is our last chance to revolutionize how we relate to resources, money, security, and the physical world before Uranus moves on.

MERCURY STATIONS RETROGRADE /
RE-ENTERS SCORPIO

Mercury stations retrograde in Sagittarius on November 9, inviting us to review our beliefs, philosophies, and the stories we tell ourselves. It’s time to be more careful with communication, contracts, and travel plans through November 29. That said, magic, poetry, and communication from the heart are more potent now. We’re going inward for contemplation and revision. What truths have we been avoiding? What beliefs need revision? Mercury will retrograde back into Scorpio on November 19, deepening the introspection, and forming a Grand Water Trine as it trines Saturn and Jupiter.

JUPITER STATIONS RETROGRADE

On November 11, Jupiter stations retrograde in Cancer until March 10, 2026. Rather than expanding outward, we're called to rethink our goals and ensure they align with our emotional needs and what truly nurtures us.

MERCURY CONJUNCT MARS IN SAGITTARIUS

Conversations become heated beginning November 12 as Mercury conjoins Mars in Sagittarius. This conjunction brings passionate advocacy, sharp debates, and the courage to speak difficult truths. Some will fight fiercely for their convictions. The challenge is to maintain fairness and curiosity in contentious discussions. We might avoid dogmatism or saying things we’ll regret once Mercury goes direct. During this transit, our words may cut sharper than intended.

GRAND WATER TRINE

A beautiful respite arrives on November 17 as the Scorpio Sun forms harmonious trines to Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces. This Grand Water Trine brings emotional clarity, cooperative energy, and access to deeper wisdom. It's an excellent time for healing conversations, long-term planning, and decisions that honor both feeling and structure.

SCORPIO NEW MOON

The Scorpio New Moon arrives on November 20, conjunct Mercury retrograde, while forming a Grand Kite with the outer planets. We're navigating major emotional breakthroughs and sudden course corrections, yet the cosmic support system helps us integrate these changes constructively. This lunation invites conscious release of outdated patterns and a profound inner reset. It’s an ideal time for ritual, therapy, spiritual retreat, or anything that honors deep transformation.

SUN IN SAGITTARIUS

On November 21, the Sun enters optimistic Sagittarius and our moods noticeably brighten. After Scorpio's intense depths, we're ready to lift our gaze toward the horizon. A sense of hope, adventure, and philosophical exploration returns to us once more.

VENUS CONJUNCT MERCURY /
GRAND WATER TRINE

Relational clarity and harmony return between November 25 and 27 as Venus meets Mercury in Scorpio and both trine Jupiter and Saturn, forming a third Grand Water Trine. This is beautiful energy for deepening bonds, having honest conversations, and establishing new agreements after Mercury's retrograde review. We can use this window to repair, recommit, or clarify where we stand in important relationships.

SATURN +  MERCURY STATION DIRECT

Projects that stalled begin moving again on November 27 and 29 as Saturn and Mercury station direct. Communication flows more smoothly now. The retrograde review period concludes, and we're ready to implement any insights we've gained. Saturn's forward motion in Pisces helps us build structure around our dreams, while Mercury direct in Scorpio allows us to speak the deep truths we've been processing.

VENUS IN SAGITTARIUS, OPPOSITE URANUS

The month ends with surprise and passion as Venus opposes Uranus on November 29, then enters adventurous Sagittarius on November 30. We can expect relationship shocks, creative awakenings, or sudden romantic developments. After the deep work of Venus in Scorpio, this transit brings lighter, more spontaneous energy—but it's still unstable. We might fall head over heels, experience a revival in an existing relationship, or feel the need to embrace more freedom in how we connect. The Venus-Neptune trine softens the unpredictability with romance, forgiveness, unconditional love, and idealism. Our hearts and minds have been rocked this month, but ultimately the calamity is leading us toward deeper healing.

November 2025 ASPIRATION

As the air cools and the trees grow bare, may we drop into truth and release our need for control. May we soften into change and trust what’s arising in our lives, knowing, deep down, that everything that’s unfolding will lead us to our perfect awakening, even if the future is unclear.
