November 2025 Cosmic Forecast
DIGGING DEEP TO REDEFINE WHAT MATTERS
November is one of the most active months in the sky this year, but the energy isn’t chaotic- it’s transformative. This month is not about speed, but soul-level recalibration with ample opportunity to reflect and realign. With retrograde Mercury weaving between Sagittarius and Scorpio, Venus diving into Scorpio’s depths, Mars charging into Sagittarius, and Uranus stirring up Taurus’ solid ground (one last time), this month asks you to pause, rethink, and return to what’s true for you. Expect moments of revelation, relationship breakthroughs, and a stronger sense of inner direction by the month’s end. You are sharpening your vision and strengthening your sense of purpose ready to take aligned action.

November’s Key Events
Mercury Retrograde (Nov 9 - 29)
Mercury’s retrograde moves through Sagittarius and back into Scorpio. It asks us to revisit our core beliefs, ideas, and plans. In Sagittarius, we are reflecting broadly on our wider perspective and direction: how does our worldview shape our quest(s)? When Mercury Retrograde goes into Scorpio, the focus narrows, asking us what lies beneath those beliefs: what’s been left unsaid? What truths reside below the surface? This retrograde is a time to listen between the lines, revisit unfinished conversations, and let intuition guide interpretation. The clarity comes later, after Mercury goes direct. For now, the work is to unlearn what no longer rings true, and reclaim the stories that matter to us.
Full Moon in Taurus (Nov 5)
The Full Moon in Taurus exacts at 8:19 am EDT on Nov 5th. It offers a moment of grounding and grace amid so much cosmic change. Forming a harmonious aspect to the lunar nodes, it acts as a bridge between what you’re ready to release and what your soul is growing toward. Taurus brings calm, stability, and a reminder to slow down and reconnect with what’s real— your values, your body, your sense of worth. Insights may surface around what truly sustains you versus what drains you, helping you shed old emotional patterns while anchoring deeper into self-trust. This lunation happens two days before Uranus re-enters Taurus, which will shake things up undoubtedly until end of April 2026. It’s wise to make the most of its energy to support you for what’s coming. I’ll have more in my Full Moon readings for those of you who are in my membership space.
Mars enters Sagittarius (Nov 4)
This transit amplifies action with conviction. We are chasing what we believe in. But it can also amplify impatience and reactivity. Mars here doesn’t strategize, it leaps. There is drive to explore, speak truth, and push limits. There’s courage to take risks and stand for something that matters. This energy is direct, restless, and visionary, but it also tests our restraint. Because Mars arrives right before Mercury’s retrograde, watch for rushed words and impulsive choices early in the month.
Venus enters Scorpio (Nov 6)
With this transit, connection becomes a mirror for truth. This is not a superficial or casual energy- it pulls you to the depths, asking for emotional honesty and soul-level loyalty. With Venus here, we crave intensity, transparency, and intimacy that strips away pretence. Whether it be in love, money, and all things relational, Venus in Scorpio wants authentic exchange, not polite performance. This transit can also surface shadows like jealousy, control, or old wounds related to trust. Think of these shadows as invitations to see where fear has limited your relational connections (eg. with people, money and so on).
Uranus Retrograde Re-enters Taurus (Nov 7)
The planet of radical change and awakening is in Taurus one final time since its journey began in 2018. The familiar starts to shift again. What once felt solid now asks to evolve. This is is an invitation for us to redefine stability. The old systems of value, money, and comfort no longer fit the future that’s shaping. Uranus in Taurus is shaking loose our attachment to what’s outdated so we can build foundations that are alive. True security comes from adaptability, not control.
Jupiter Stations Retrograde (Nov 11 - Mar 2026)
The planet of growth and expansion stations retrograde, inviting inner re-evaluation of what “abundance” means. Instead of pushing outward, you’re asked to revisit beliefs about abundance, faith, and emotional nourishment. This isn’t a time for outward expansion or grand gestures; it’s a season for emotional integration. You may find yourself revisiting old memories, ancestral stories, or patterns around safety and care. True growth begins where you feel safe enough to be authentically you.
New Moon in Scorpio + Mercury Cazimi 9 (Nov 20)
The New Moon in Scorpio on November 20 at 1:47 am EDT is one of the most powerful lunations of the year, inviting deep transformation and renewed clarity. Conjunct a Mercury Cazimi, this moment illuminates truth from the inside out—insight, intuition, and communication are all supercharged. The moon’s harmonious links with Saturn, Jupiter, and Neptune add a stabilizing and hopeful tone, blending wisdom, faith, and imagination to support meaningful new beginnings. Yet, its opposition to Uranus at Taurus’s fated final degree stirs sudden awakenings and necessary shifts, urging release where control once ruled. This New Moon asks you to trust what’s being revealed, surrender to change, and set intentions rooted in emotional honesty and soulful evolution. I’ll have more in my New Moon readings for those of you who are in my membership space.
Sun enters Sagittarius (Nov 21)
Sagittarius is the seeker, guided by curiosity and conviction. The Sun here illuminates truth, purpose, and possibility, asking where faith and experience can meet. This zodiac season is a time of learning through living, of daring to believe in what’s still unfolding. Sagittarius is not about toxic positivity or spiritual bypassing- it reminds us that light means little without truth and understanding. Real growth requires reflection: not just adventure, but awareness of what the journey is teaching us.
Venus enters Sagittarius (Nov 30)
On the last day of this month, Venus moves into Sagittarius, inspiring movement, laughter and truth. After the deep emotional energy of Scorpio, this transit feels lighter, freer, and more open to possibility. Here, relationships becomes a journey of discovery. Curiosity replaces control while honesty replaces intensity. We crave experiences that expand us, new connections, new philosophies, or a broader view of what love and pleasure can mean. Venus in Sagittarius is about learning through connection, and finding joy in authenticity.
