Astrology for November 2025

Happy birthday to all you November Scorpios and Sadges. Here’s what’s going on in the sky this month…

MERCURY RETROGRADE ALERT

By November 1st, Mercury is getting ready to experience his third retrograde of 2025. He’s already in the pre-retrograde shadow zone in Scorpio, so we may suffer technical snafus, miscommunication, and slowdowns. 

On November 18th he moves back into secretive Scorpio. Be careful making snap judgments, nothing is as it seems. Figuring out anything requires reading nuances.

Then on November 9th he stations retrograde. You know the drill by now: give yourself extra time when traveling and double-check any reservations. Avoid signing contracts and making big-ticket purchases. This month’s Black Friday is best to stay far away from. Mercury stations and turns direct on Black Friday, November 29th, but he won't leave the shadow zone until December 17th. When Mercury is retrograde in Sadge it's a good time to review your pursuits, educational goals, and belief systems. Although we can be mentally scattered, it's a good time to go back to studies and writing projects that have been gathering dust. Be careful with the brain-to-mouth filter during these few weeks, because the chances of people misinterpreting our words is increased.

😡 November 4 — Mars opposite Uranus. The planet of aggression is at odds with the planet of shock and surprise. We need to watch our tempers today because we are likely to explode. Anger and resentment abound. Be careful of road rage.

🌕♉ November 5 — Full Moon in Taurus. We want stability, security, and comfort. Full Moons, and the following two weeks when the Moon is waning, are good for letting go of what you no longer need. These include behaviors. Fear of change? Procrastination? Wishing and hoping but not actually doing? Get rid of them.

♥️♏ November 6th — Venus enters Scorpio. Love and intimacy become intense. Relationships have the potential to go deep in the next few weeks.

🤨 November 7th — Venus squares Pluto. Be careful of jealousy, but if you're on the receiving end, it might be time to break up and regain independence.

🌞🍀 November 16th — Sun trines Jupiter. This lucky aspect occurs three times a year. Be generous and kind today, it will come back to you in spades.

🌑♏ On November 19th we have a New Moon in Scorpio, prompting new beginnings, encouraging new ways to live, and inspiring us to heal ourselves and to transform areas of our lives that leave us feeling underwhelmed. The Moon loves being emotionally comfortable, but Scorpio craves emotional depth and extremes. Moreover, Scorpio’s fear of appearing weak and/or vulnerable prevents the Moon from expressing her true emotions. In Scorpio, the Moon is in her “fall” (very weakened, in the opposite sign of her home turf in Cancer). Yet despite this predicament, Moon in Scorpio nonetheless provides us an easier time to understand the motives of others, so that we can have a better sense of seeing the other person’s point of view and offer forgiveness, if necessary.

♥️🔱 On November 30th — Venus trines Neptune. This mellow, dreamy aspect is perfect for working on creative projects and chilling out, as Venus rules love and beauty and Neptune rules our imagination. We feel compassion and tenderness for others. A good day to relax and entertain.
