Full Moon in Aries – November 5
On November 5, the Full Moon rises in fiery Aries, opposing the Sun in intense Scorpio. This dynamism highlights Mars’ domain of power, courage, and strategic action. November’s lunar events put Mars front and center, first through the blazing Aries Full Moon on November 5, and later the Scorpio New Moon on November 19, where the Sun and Mercury join forces. Mars’ dual rulership over fire and water reminds us that true strength lies in both passion and emotional depth.
Following October’s Libra New Moon, both Mercury and Mars move toward Scorpio while the Moon waxes through Rahu and Saturn’s zones from October 31 to November 4. These days may feel tense as Rahu can amplify chaos while Saturn adds pressure. As the Moon clears Pisces, the stage is set for the Full Moon at sunrise on Wednesday, November 5.
During this lunation, Mercury and Mars occupy Scorpio, while the Sun and Venus in Libra oppose the Moon in Aries. Meanwhile, Jupiter blesses Cancer, forming a supportive link with Saturn in Pisces and the Mercury–Mars duo in Scorpio. This alignment may stir revelations, expose hidden possibilities, and encourage emotional release or renewal.
The Aries–Libra axis brings themes of individuality versus partnership. The Moon in Aries reflects sensitive energy in a bold sign, while the Sun in Libra represents masculine energy softened by Venus’ diplomacy. Balance both energies within, assertive and receptive, fiery and peaceful. This is a powerful time to finalize plans using the information you already have. Seek solutions that serve the collective good. Venus, strong in Libra, reminds us that unity, compassion, and connection create resilience.
Mercury Retrograde – November 9 to 29
As the Moon wanes, tides shift in Scorpio, setting the stage for Mercury’s retrograde beginning November 9. Mercury retraces his path from 13° Scorpio back into Libra on November 23, and turns direct at 27° Libra on November 29.
Retrogrades shake up normal order. Mercury governs communication, logic, and organization—so during this period, miscommunication, missed details, or overthinking are common. Rather than frustration, view this as a chance to slow down and realign your mind with intuition. What appears as confusion may lead to smarter, more lasting solutions.
Between November 23–25, Mercury and Venus perform a cosmic dance as Mercury retrogrades into Libra while Venus advances into Scorpio. This brief interaction may spark a creative or social opportunity, proof that collaboration thrives even amid chaos.
Jupiter Retrograde in Cancer – November 11 to March 11
Jupiter begins his retrograde at 1° Cancer on November 11, backtracking into Gemini on December 5 before turning direct on March 11. Jupiter’s retrograde encourages introspection on growth, wisdom, and purpose. Early degrees of Cancer offer a preview of Jupiter’s powerful 2026 transit through this exalted sign.
From November 11–28, Jupiter, Saturn, and Mercury will all be retrograde which would be a rare triple churn in the water signs. Expect emotional intensity, spiritual reassessment, and a need to revisit old lessons with new insight.
Interestingly, this is the first time since 2015 that Jupiter aspects Saturn, shifting the balance of influence. From 2015–2026, Saturn has held the upper hand, emphasizing structure and limits. From 2026–2037, Jupiter’s optimism will rise, promoting expansion and healing. Mid-November 2025 offers a glimpse of this cosmic handover.
Sun Transits Scorpio – November 16 to December 15
The Sun enters Scorpio on November 16, leaving behind Libra’s indecision for emotional depth and courage. With Mars already in Scorpio, this transit emphasizes investigation, strategy, and problem-solving beneath the surface. Expect hidden truths to emerge, and power dynamics to shift dramatically.
Between November 23–25, Mercury and Venus reconnect, encouraging reconciliation, fresh agreements, or creative renewal. However, the second half of November remains turbulent as fear and control issues may flare up. As the Sun and Mars dive deeper into Scorpio, secrets unravel and truth demands attention.
New Moon in Scorpio – November 19
The New Moon on November 19 occurs at 4° Scorpio, joining the Sun, Mercury, and Mars. Though energetically low, this lunation carries deep emotional renewal. With Jupiter’s supportive aspect from Cancer, the message is clear: surrender and transformation lead to empowerment.
As three planets of Mercury, Jupiter, and Saturn retrograde through water signs, emotions may run high. This New Moon encourages introspection, retreat, and realignment. Schedule downtime around this date to recharge.
Mars in Scorpio enhances resilience and inner strength, while Venus in Libra and receiving Rahu’s (North Node) aspect infuses creativity and a desire for collective healing. Flow with change rather than resist it; transformation is the only constant around this time.
Venus Enters Scorpio – November 25
On November 25, Venus dives into Scorpio, joining the Sun and Mars. This marks a powerful period for emotional honesty and creative depth. Venus’ transition follows a dynamic meeting with retrograde Mercury, amplifying her magnetism and emotional courage.
With Jupiter offering protection from Cancer, faith and love can guide you through uncertainty. Use this energy for artistic work, business planning, or spiritual exploration. Venus remains in Scorpio until December 19, do expect passionate breakthroughs and creative insight.
Saturn Direct in Pisces – November 28
Saturn turns direct at 1° Pisces on November 28, after a retrograde that began in July. This shift asks you to revisit the intentions set in early July and rebuild structures that truly support your goals. Saturn’s forward motion helps restore order, patience, and accountability.
For the first time in a decade, Saturn in Pisces receives an aspect from retrograde Jupiter in Cancer which is a rare meeting of time and space energies. Together, they urge us to balance practicality with faith, releasing what no longer sustains growth.
Avoid major commitments until early December, when Saturn steadies and Jupiter re-enters Gemini, ideal for redesigning long-term plans or business strategies.
Mercury Direct in Libra – November 29
Mercury stations direct at 27° Libra on November 29, restoring mental clarity and communication flow. With this reset, organization and connection improve rapidly. The coming days bring smoother collaboration and renewed balance. As Mercury moves into Scorpio on December 6, conversations deepen and insights sharpen.
