November at a glance

Welcoming Mercury retrograde!

The month of November has many shifts in direction, some lovely opportunities, and unexpected dynamics. Our communication, interactions with others, and relationships are highlighted with intensity, passion, and a sense of adventure. Mercury will be retrograde from Nov 9th until Nov 29th in the signs of Sagittarius and Scorpio - the quest and search for truth will intensify—time to review our beliefs and align them with our deep emotional needs. Be cautious when signing contracts and when receiving information. Make sure the sources are reliable and trustworthy. Jupiter will join Mercury in retrograde motion on Nov 11th. He will be retrograde until March 10th, 2026. Being in Cancer, this retrograde will bring many things from the past, and around family, and ancestors. While Mercury and Jupiter will reflect on our communication style, past experiences, and learned wisdom, Saturn is finally moving forward from Nov 27th, rewarding us for our hard work and discipline. Ceres, the Goddess of nurturing, will also move forward on Nov 21st, still in the sign of Aries. Our self-care will improve.

In case you missed it, tune in to my chat with Alejo Lopez, a licensed psychologist and an astrologer. We talked about Halloween, Scorpio season, and many more interesting things.  

The Full Moon at 13°23' Taurus on Nov 5th might bring unexpected events and arguments, and online and technology disruptions. Mercury and Mars' conjunction in Sagittarius will oppose Uranus in Gemini. Unwanted things might be revealed by shocking news and direct, blunt communications. Venus, as a ruler of this lunation, is still in Libra. She is at the apex of a T-square with Pluto and Jupiter.  Possible conflicts and struggles within our relationships might come to the surface. This lunation is part of the lunar gestation family, which began on the new moon on May 7th, 2024. The events of that new moon might come up on this lunation. Fixed signs are affected the most: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius, and all of you with natal placements between 10°- 16° of those signs.

On Nov 20th, the New Moon at 28°12' Scorpio opposes Uranus now back in Taurus, but is also a part of a big grand trine in water with Jupiter in Cancer and Neptune and Saturn in Pisces. It is also tightly conjunct Mercury retrograde. Ruled by Mars in Sagittarius and opposite Uranus, this cycle will have a lot of sudden changes. Being a part of a water trine, for this New Moon, we should lean on our intuition and not try to resist the inevitable changes. The most affected will be all fixed signs: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius, and all of you with natal placements between 26°-29° of those signs. The first few degrees of mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) may also feel the effects, or if you have any natal placements at those degrees.

1. First ingress of the month is Mars entering Sagittarius on Nov 4th, just after forming a lovely trine with Neptune while still in Scorpio. He will be awakened from this fantasy world with an opposition to Uranus on the same day of the ingress. This will lead to abrupt and reckless actions just a day before the Full moon. The entire month, we will experience Neptune trines with personal planets, led by oppositions with Uranus shortly after: Mars on the Nov 3rd and 4th, Mercury retrograde on Nov 19th, Sun on Nov 21st, and Venus on the Nov 29th. This suggests a storm after a calm in our personal lives. Keep planning and long-term decision-making for some other time.
2. Venus enters Scorpio on Nov 7th with a square to Pluto. This will intensify our relationships and may bring some personal transformations. Remember not to make any final decisions at this moment because things will not go according to our plans. On the same day, Uranus retrogrades back into Taurus. We will feel the earth start trembling under our feet.
3. The Mars Mercury conjunction in Sagittarius on Nov 12th is the second one after the first one on Oct 20th in Scorpio. This time, communication will be direct, tactless, and blunt. Keep your mouth shut unless you are ready for a long-lasting debate.
4. Vesta, our Goddess of devotion and home, enters Capricorn on Nov 15th, bringing more determination and perseverance in our soul's mission.
5. Mid-month is a lovely period for growth, abundance, and expansion when Sun and Jupiter make a lovely trine with Saturn on Nov 17th. It's a great time for business decisions and plans.  
6. Mercury retrogrades back to Scorpio on the Nov 19th with opposition to Uranus and trine to Neptune - mental chaos and lack of clarity may cloud our judgment. This is followed by the New Moon at the last degree of Scorpio, and the Sun changing sign into Sagittarius just two days later on Nov 21st. A lot of sudden shifts colored with confusion and uncertainty. Expect the unexpected!
7. From Nov 22nd, things drastically change for the better. Mercury will form a grand trine with Jupiter and Saturn, bringing more structure into our communication and personal expressions. Venus will form the same grand water trine on Nov 26th, bringing more stability into our relationships and finances. Just before she enters Sagittarius on Nov 30th, she will trine Neptune in Pisces, bringing romance, kindness and compassion in our relations with others. Yes, she will oppose Uranus on the same day, elevating our desires for new, adventurous things as well.    

Overall, the month of November will bring a lot of changes with active Uranus, but will also bring many opportunities for emotional stability, love, and deep understanding with three grand water trines involving the Sun, Mercury, and Venus with Jupiter and Saturn, and Neptune. Knowing that changes are coming, but that we will have the emotional capacity to embrace them, may bring hope and optimism.  

Best period of the month: Nov 15th -18th, Nov 22nd - 28th.

Challenging period of the month: Nov 3rd- 7th, Nov 19th-21st
