The Open Road

November begins like the first shot of My Own Private Idaho: a stretch of road vanishing into the horizon, infinite and uncertain. We’re all Mike now—half-dreaming, half-searching, unsure if we’re chasing home or running from it. This month is stitched together in nonlinear edits: sudden shocks, whispered confessions, and detours that end up becoming the story itself. With the year’s final Mercury retrograde unfolding, November insists that the past isn’t finished with us. Memories resurface, obsessions deepen, and we realize that what we thought was “closure” might actually be a beginning in disguise.

The Emotional Climax

Early in the month, Mars dives into Sagittarius, turning the collective tempo restless and raw. Action becomes exploration, knowledge is found on street corners and in overheard conversations rather than lecture halls. But almost immediately Mars locks horns with Uranus, sparking chaos, revelations, and fiery disruptions that feel like fate’s mischievous editing. Then comes the Taurus Full Moon, an emotional crescendo echoing back to April’s New Moon. We feel it in our bodies, and in the way relationships strain under the weight of transformation. Some bonds crack open, while others prove indestructible. Venus’ shift into Scorpio raises the thermostat: intimacy becomes a mirror for our darkest projections. The retrogrades deepen the psychological script. Mercury, sliding from Sagittarius into Scorpio, forces us to confront past obsessions and unconscious truths through slips of the tongue and delays that reroute us into unexpected encounters.

Transformation and Release

The story peaks with the Scorpio New Moon on November 20th, a cosmic turning point packed with aspects that demand transformation. Instead of pain, there’s surprising beauty, a realization that rebirth can feel like relief, not rupture. Supported by Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune, this lunation is an initiation into a more empowered version of ourselves. Think of it as the scene where the road stops being lonely and becomes liberating: the vast horizon is no longer a threat, but an invitation. As the Sun and Venus cross into Sagittarius, the mood shifts. What was obsessive turns adventurous, what was secretive becomes expansive. By month’s end, Mercury stations direct and Saturn moves forward, grounding the lessons we’ve absorbed. The narrative threads reconnect, the nonlinear edits start to make sense, and the collective tone softens from brooding noir into fiery exploration. And then, one last shocker. On November 30th, Venus opposes Uranus, delivering a wild jolt of liberation. Relationships, money, and values could pivot in a heartbeat. Revelations crack open, but what feels destabilizing may actually free us to love and live more authentically. November is a reminder that belonging isn’t about finding a permanent place or person—it’s about embracing the motion itself.

Aries: The Road Expands, The Ground Shifts

For you, November plays out like a road movie with both passport stamps and receipts at the bank. Mars charges into Sagittarius on the 5th, lighting up your horizons that demand to be explored. Action = expansion: a sudden urge to book flights, pitch projects abroad, or take your creative business global. Yet almost instantly Mars opposes Uranus, Nov 4, throwing schedules into chaos. Think missed trains that introduce you to the person you were meant to meet, or emails that glitch but reveal a hidden truth. The cosmos wants you off autopilot.

The Full Moon in Taurus, Nov 5, lands in your sector of money and values, pulling into focus what you earn, spend, and share with others. Financial matters could climax with a partner or business contract. Routines may shift under the weight of what stability really means to you. Seeds planted back in late April now bear fruit, you’ll see where your resources need adjusting, and what relationships support (or drain) your security.

Venus’ plunge into Scorpio, Nov 6, raises the intensity meter: love and finances may feel all-or-nothing. Uranus retrograde briefly returns into Taurus: expect sudden shifts in income, investments, or what you thought you valued. By the 9th, Mercury retrograde begins in Sagittarius before backtracking into Scorpio, promising travel hiccups, financial paperwork redos, or intimate conversations that circle back to unresolved terrain. Don’t fight the detours, they carry their own wisdom. Jupiter retrograde in Cancer, Nov 11, asks you to nurture your roots. Your home and private life slow down so you can feel what abundance actually looks like when you’re not chasing it. On the 20th, the electrifying New Moon in Scorpio brings a reboot moment: opportunities to transform debt into investment, intimacy into trust, and power struggles into empowerment. With Uranus involved, shocks are possible, but liberation is the point. The scariest risks are often the most rewarding.

By late month, Sagittarius season pulls you further outward. Mind-expansion replace Scorpio’s intensity. Saturn stations direct in Pisces, Nov 27, reminding you that rest, and subconscious clarity are as important as action. Mercury finally stations direct in Scorpio, Nov 29, untying knots around money and intimacy. And just as you catch your breath, Venus opposes Uranus on Nov 30: expect a sudden expense, a breakthrough with a partner, or a liberating revelation about what you really value. Venus then leaps into Sagittarius, asking you to love like you travel: with fire, curiosity, and a suitcase of faith.

Taurus: The Mirror and the Merge

November is a relationship epic for you. The spotlight is on love, partnership, and the delicate art of merging your world with someone else’s. The month begins with Mars surging into Sagittarius, Nov 5, pushing you into all the taboo corners of power and trust. Yet with Mars immediately opposing Uranus in your sign, Nov 4, surprises are unavoidable. Think shocks in money, sudden shifts in how you show up in relationships, or even revelations about who really holds the reins. Liberation is possible, but it may feel like a jolt first. The Full Moon in your sign, Nov 5, is one of your most defining lunations of the year. This is an emotional climax around who you are, how you want to be seen, and how you stand alone within a partnership. It may echo back to seeds planted in late April: choices about self-worth, appearance, or new beginnings now bear fruit. The tension between your individuality, career, and relationships is loud. The question: do you need to change to fit the relationship, or does the relationship transform when you show up as your fullest self? Venus, dives into Scorpio, Nov 6, making everything about love magnetic and high-stakes. Connections may feel karmic, obsessive, and all-or-nothing. With Mercury retrograde moving from Sagittarius back into Scorpio, the universe wants you to revisit past relationships, renegotiate commitments, and untangle old obsessions. Exes may return, conversations repeat, and projection runs high. Meanwhile, Uranus retrogrades back into your sign, Nov 7, for one final tango before leaving for Gemini next year. Expect wildcards around identity, even your personal brand could get a surprise remix.

The New Moon in Scorpio, Nov 20, lands in your opposite sign, a major reset button in relationships. New doors open in partnership that feel fated, transformative, and impossible to ignore. This could mean entering a relationship, renewing vows, renegotiating a contract, or simply learning to see others with a new lens. Transformation doesn’t have to hurt—it can feel like a release into authenticity. By the end of the month, Sagittarius season and Venus shift the focus from partnership to intimacy and shared resources. Mercury stations direct, Nov 29, finally untangling relationship miscommunications. Saturn also stations direct, Nov 27, grounding your wider social networks and long-term visions. And then comes your grand finale: Venus opposes Uranus in your sign on Nov 30. This is the shocker, the liberation, the twist in the love story. Partnerships could swerve, values could clash, or a sudden spark could break open a stale pattern. It’s unpredictable, electric, and necessary. You may end the month knowing exactly what you will and won’t compromise in love.

Gemini: The Return and the Rewrite

This November is a mirror month for you, reflecting your past relationships, your daily rhythms, and how you balance partnership with personal growth. Mars leaps into Sagittarius on the 5th, firing up collaborations. It’s not subtle: other people demand your energy. Yet the very next day Mars opposes Uranus in your sign, shaking up identity versus partnership. Expect wildcards: sudden breakups, breakthroughs, or epiphanies about what freedom in love really means.

The Full Moon in Taurus, Nov 5, will be pulling hidden threads to the surface. This lunation may close out a cycle of subconscious work. Dreams could feel prophetic. Something planted back in April, perhaps a habit, or an inner shift, now culminates. Love, creativity, and pleasure are also tied into the release. Let go of old patterns so you can move forward lighter. Venus moves into Scorpio, Nov 6. Desire shows up in the little things or how your habits support or sabotage intimacy. Meanwhile, Mercury, your ruler, retrogrades through Sagittarius and Scorpio (Nov 9–28). This is the last Mercury retrograde of the year, and it’s personal. Expect miscommunications with partners, delays in contracts, or the reappearance of people from your past seeking closure. Don’t panic, these returns are part of the story and help you rewrite the terms of connection. Jupiter retrograde in Cancer Nov 11, is asking you to reassess resources and self-worth. What you think you’re worth directly influences who you choose to partner with. The New Moon in Scorpio, Nov 20, is the real pivot: a chance to reset your health, and habits in a way that magically transform your entire schedule. Unexpected opportunities may arrive that feel fated.

By late month, Sagittarius season begins, shifting the stage fully to one-on-one dynamics: you’re learning, loving, and negotiating in real time. Saturn direct in Pisces, Nov 27, re-anchors career responsibilities, while Mercury direct, Nov 29, untangles communication knots. And then comes the finale: Venus opposes Uranus, Nov 30. It’s the wild card, a liberating revelation about what you need from others. As Venus enters Sagittarius, love becomes adventurous again: partnership as an open road, not a closed room.

Cancer: Play, Pleasure, and the Blessing of Becoming

This month is your invitation to turn passion into practice. From Nov 5, Mars is making your routines and daily work charged with fiery energy. Infuse your schedule with creativity, or risk burning out. But almost immediately Mars opposes Uranus, bringing chaos to behind-the-scenes matters. Shocks, and hidden frustrations may erupt—yet these jolts are designed to free you from habits that no longer serve you. The Full Moon in Taurus, Nov 5, illuminates your friendships, networks, and collective dreams. Expect a peak moment with a group project, or an emotional reckoning about the role your community plays in your life. Seeds planted back in April around your social life now reach fruition. The tension is real: belonging versus individuality, intimacy versus expansion. You may realize some friendships transform you, while others keep you small.

Venus’ entrance into Scorpio, Nov 6, intensifies love affairs, creativity, children, and pleasure. Passion becomes art, and play becomes sacred. Relationships may take on a fated, obsessive quality. Add Mercury retrograde into the mix from Nov 9, and the cosmos wants you to review: old lovers could resurface, unfinished creative projects call for attention, and even your health routines may reveal hidden emotional layers. This is less about perfection, more about rediscovering joy in the details. Meanwhile, Jupiter, your golden ticket, retrogrades in your sign starting Nov 11. You’re still the most blessed sign of the zodiac right now, but the gifts arrive slower, asking you to integrate and review what’s already landed. It’s like recharging crystals in moonlight: blessings aren’t gone, they’re deepening. The New Moon in Scorpio, Nov 20, marks a radiant new beginning in your zone of creativity, romance, and joy. The opportunities may feel shocking, passionate, or fated. A new romance could spark out of nowhere, or an old flame may return with transformative potential. Creatively, you’re entering one of the most fertile cycles in years, an idea, a performance, or a project could take root now and blossom by May.

By the time Sagittarius season begins, Nov 21, the focus shifts back to aligning passion with structure, ensuring your routines support your art and your health. Saturn turning direct in Pisces, Nov 27, grounds your long-term vision, while Mercury direct, Nov 29, clears up love tangles and creative delays. The finale? Venus opposes Uranus, Nov 30: Love, friendship, and creative networks collide. A romance may shock your social circle, a friend could reveal unexpected feelings, or a creative project might take a wild, liberating turn. Whatever happens, it breaks you free from expectation and dares you to follow your heart’s unpredictable rhythm. As Venus slips into Sagittarius the same day, pleasure becomes part of your routine: everyday life infused with passion, creativity, and joy.

Leo: Foundations and Fireworks

November begins with you digging into your roots. The Sun’s passage through Scorpio emphasizes your inner landscape. Venus’ entry here on Nov 6 makes the mood more intense, turning domestic life into a crucible for transformation. It’s the perfect time to redecorate, or face buried emotions about where and how you belong. But nothing stays static: as the Sun eventually shifts into Sagittarius on Nov 21, you trade privacy for play, stepping boldly into romance, creativity, and joy. 

Mid-month is all about turning your inner work into outer passion. The Full Moon in Taurus, Nov 5, lights up your career, and public image. This is your career climax of the year, a culmination of seeds planted back in April. Recognition, endings, or breakthroughs may arrive now. The pressure is on: balancing ambition with private life, and success with self-care. Expect surprises too, as Uranus in your career sector jolts your trajectory, perhaps delivering an unexpected promotion, shift, or liberating pivot. Mars fuels your fifth house of pleasure, from Nov 5, pushing you to create, play, and to pursue romance with fire. Almost immediately, Mars opposes Uranus in your career zone, Nov 4, stirring conflict between work demands and your hunger for fun. The message? You can’t sacrifice joy for duty, your creativity is part of your calling. Mercury retrograde (Nov 9–28) could be bringing back old flings, stalled creative projects, or family conversations that need resolution. Miscommunications may flare, but so too can powerful insights into what truly inspires you.The New Moon in Scorpio, Nov 20, is a turning point. It’s time to reset your foundations: transform your home, strengthen family bonds, or clear ancestral baggage that weighs you down. With Uranus opposing, changes in career could ripple directly into your personal life. Yet the aspects are lush, supportive, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto all weaving stability and inspiration into the mix. This isn’t just a housecleaning, it’s a rebirth of your sense of belonging.

By late month, Sagittarius season reignites your fire. Romance, art, and pleasure become your cosmic homework. Saturn turning direct in Pisces, Nov 27, steadies financial or shared-resource matters, while Mercury tuning direct, Nov 29, clears up household miscommunications. And just before the curtain falls, Venus opposes Uranus on Nov 30 across your home and career axis. Expect one last shocker: a revelation about work-life balance, a surprise career twist that reshuffles your living situation, or an epiphany about what “success” really means. It’s destabilizing, but it liberates you. As Venus enters Sagittarius the same day, the focus is pure play again and of course creativity, and joy without apology.

Virgo: Reunions, Roots, and Radical Wisdom

This month is deeply personal for you, because your ruler Mercury goes retrograde in  Sagittarius and later Scorpio, weaving between your foundations and communications. November may bring family reunions, old friends resurfacing, and long-forgotten conversations finding new life. It’s not always smooth—confusion, projection, or household tension may rise—but this retrograde is more about re-seeing the past with fresh eyes than about getting stuck in old loops. Think of it as revising a story draft: the plot doesn’t change, but the meaning does. The Full Moon in Taurus, Nov 5, calls for expansion: a trip abroad, a new course of study, or a philosophy that grounds you. If travel isn’t possible, open your mind through books, films, or conversations that stretch your worldview. Seeds planted back in April now reach a turning point. 

Venus’ move into Scorpio, Nov 6, stirs intensity in your conversations. Old obsessions or creative projects may resurface, especially as Mercury retrogrades through this sector mid-month. Watch your words as they carry more power than you realize. Uranus retrograding back into Taurus, Nov 7, is hinting at breakthroughs in travel, studies, or spiritual practices. Expect flashes of insight that shatter outdated beliefs.

The transformative New Moon in Scorpio, Nov 20, offers a powerful reset for communication and learning. Radical perspectives, or surprising conversations can open doors you didn’t know existed. With Mercury retrograde conjunct the New Moon, this may involve revisiting old writing projects, reconnecting with someone from your past, or finding new meaning in a story that once felt finished. By May 2026, you’ll see the fruits of what you begin now.

Mars will be energizing your home sector all month, urging you to pour energy into family, living spaces, and emotional foundations. But with Mars opposing Uranus on Nov 4, clashes between home life and career goals could spark. Saturn direct in Pisces, from Nov 27, grounds your relationships, while Mercury direct, from Nov 29, clears the static from your communication channels. The finale comes with Venus opposing Uranus on Nov 30. A conversation or piece of news may shock you, a sudden trip could appear, or your beliefs about love may radically shift. It’s liberating, not limiting: a reminder that wisdom often arrives through disruption.

Libra: From Magnetism to Money Moves

November begins with you in your element: Venus starts the month in your sign, blessing you with charm, magnetism, and a glow that draws people toward you. By Nov 6, Venus moves into Scorpio, and the focus shifts from attraction to assets. Suddenly it’s about what you own, what you earn, and what you value enough to spend on yourself. This shift is grounding, and deeply tied to self-worth—love becomes less about who’s drawn to you, and more about how you invest in yourself. The Full Moon in Taurus, Nov 5, can bring a climax around financial partnerships, debts, inheritances, or deeply personal entanglements. It’s not lighthearted, it’s about merging, power, and trust. Something seeded back in late April now bears fruit, possibly through a joint venture, a breakthrough in intimacy, or an emotional release tied to shared money. The stakes are high: do you surrender, negotiate, or walk away?

Mars in Sagittarius powers your communication all month, making your words sharp, and adventurous. Early shocks arrive as Mars opposes Uranus, Nov 4. Expect surprise news, sudden trips, or heated debates that expand your worldview. And then Mercury retrograde (Nov 9–28) moves from Sagittarius back into Scorpio, retracing conversations around money, values, and worth. Old financial ideas or past conversations about self-esteem may resurface, offering a second chance to resolve them. Jupiter retrograde in Cancer, from Nov 11, highlights your career and reputation. Big opportunities may pause for review, but the blessings aren’t gone, they’re incubating. Refine your ambitions, and prepare for Jupiter’s full forward surge in March next year. The New Moon in Scorpio, Nov 20 could bring surprising opportunities to earn, invest, or launch a project tied to your skills. It may not be brand-new, perhaps an idea you shelved in the past now comes back with transformative power. Embody worthiness, to believe you deserve the resources and rewards you crave. 

Saturn turning direct in Pisces, from Nov 27, steadies your work and health routines, while Mercury turning direct Nov 29, clears up money confusion. And the cosmic finale? Venus opposing Uranus, Nov 30, meaning a financial or intimate shock may arrive. It may destabilize, but it also liberate you from old attachments. As Venus glides into Sagittarius the same day, your ideas, and conversations become your currency. You end the month not just looking radiant, but speaking and living from a place of bold truth.

Scorpio: The Shaker

November is your movie moment. With a cocktail of planets moving through your sign, you’re the cosmic magnet — love, power, and transformation orbit around you. Mars begins the month in your sign, giving you drive, courage, and charisma, then shifts into Sagittarius on the 5th, putting your energy toward money moves, and building foundations that reflect your evolving values. You’re rewriting your script from the inside out, and everyone feels it. The Full Moon in Taurus Nov 5 lights up your relationships. This lunation is about partnerships reaching a breaking point or breakthrough. Seeds planted back in late April now come to fruition, and the intensity asks: do we transform together, or does one story end so another can begin? This full moon is layered with complexity, love and trust issues may surface, but what’s revealed brings clarity.

Venus enters your sign, Nov 6, and your aura becomes even more intoxicating. Yet with Uranus opposing all of your personal planets, surprises in relationships are inevitable. Someone could reappear just as suddenly as someone else vanishes.

Mercury retrogrades (Nov 9–28) first in Sagittarius and then back into your sign. This makes it deeply personal: you’re rethinking not just finances, but your identity, and your self-expression. Misunderstandings could be rife, but they also reveal truths that wouldn’t have surfaced otherwise. Jupiter retrograde in Cancer asks you to reflect on your broader path. You’re digesting where you’ve been and where you’re going, like editing your own epic. The New Moon in Scorpio, Nov 20, is your moment. It’s a reset of self, a seed of identity that carries through into 2026. This lunation is nothing short of a power portal. You could be starting something brand new that could transform your destiny. Think of it as your personal new year, but with cosmic backup. 

By late month, we enter Sagittarius season: after the personal rebirth, it’s about sustaining yourself. Saturn stations direct in Pisces, Nov 27, stabilizing creativity, romance, and pleasure. Mercury finally turns direct in your sign, Nov 29, and clarity returns. And the cosmic kicker? Venus in your sign opposes Uranus, Nov 30, across your relationship axis. This is the mic-drop moment, an electric shock in love, intimacy, or partnership dynamics. Liberation, surprise, disruption, but also truth. Then Venus shifts into Sagittarius, and your attention moves to money and resources, closing out November with a sense of both empowerment and independence.

Sagittarius: The Phoenix Archer

This month begins with Mars in your sign, firing up your energy, drive, and charisma. You’re a wild explorer right now, unstoppable, adventurous, and craving new experiences. Yet, right away Mars locks into an opposition with Uranus in Gemini, Nov 4, sparking fireworks in relationships. Expect surprises, breakups, breakthroughs, or sudden plot twists in partnerships — anything that doesn’t align with your freedom will rattle loose.

The Taurus Full Moon, Nov 5, highlights your work, health, and daily routines. Seeds planted back in April now come full circle. It’s a climactic moment where your body and schedule ask for balance. This moon also connects you to your networks. It’s about finding stability between what you owe others and how you sustain yourself.

On Nov 6, Venus enters Scorpio, love and pleasure take on an underground, private quality. Intuition runs high, but so do obsessions. Meanwhile, Uranus retrogrades back into Taurus for one last visit, from Nov 7, shaking up your routines, wellness, and work life until February. Think sudden shifts in how you care for your body or manage your daily grind. The biggest headline: Mercury retrogrades in your sign (Nov 9–28). This is personal, your voice, ideas, and identity are in flux. Old conversations, lovers, or projects resurface. You may feel misunderstood, but this retrograde offers valuable insights. Freudian slips, revisited opportunities, and a chance to refine how you present yourself. By Nov 13, Jupiter, your ruler, also retrogrades, making you review what abundance really means.

The Scorpio New Moon, Nov 20, lands in your mystical zone, bringing a private reset. The vibe is deeply psychological. This is your invitation to meditate, journal, or retreat. Insights from the past arrive like lightning, giving you clarity for the year ahead. It’s about letting go of unconscious baggage so you can step into your season lighter, freer, and more aligned.

Then comes your rebirth: Sagittarius Season begins Nov 21. After weeks of introspection, your vitality, and optimism surge back. Venus joins the party by Nov 30, shifting from Scorpio into your sign. The same day, Venus opposes Uranus in Taurus, delivering one final shocker in love, intimacy, or finances. Liberation is the keyword — something unexpected shakes you free. By month’s end, with Mercury direct, from Nov 29, and Saturn direct from Nov 27, you’ll feel the fog lift. November isn’t easy, but it transforms you from the inside out.

Capricorn Rising: The Inspired Builder

This month pulls you into the crossroads of community, creativity, and romance. With Saturn in Pisces finishing up its last stretch, your communication style, and local connections are being restructured. You’re learning to refine your message, and to commit to ideas that truly resonate. By the time Saturn stations direct on Nov 27, you’ll feel the shift. Clarity could be returning about a writing project or collaboration. Mars starts the month firing up your subconscious and dreams. You may feel restless or even drained, like your energy is more inward than outward. When Mars opposes Uranus, Nov 4, surprises in your daily routines could awaken you. At the Taurus Full Moon, Nov 5, a project, love story, or joy-filled pursuit seeded back in April could be culminating. What you’ve been creating or nurturing now meets public recognition or a turning point.

On Nov 6, Venus enters Scorpio, intensifying your social life. Some alliances deepen through trust and intimacy, while others may dissolve under pressure. By Nov 7, Uranus retrogrades back into Taurus for one last visit until February, shaking up love, pleasure, and creative expression. Romance or creative breakthroughs could arrive out of nowhere. Then comes Mercury retrograde (Nov 9–28), beginning in Sagittarius before dipping into Scorpio. At first, it pulls you inward, maybe bubbling up unresolved subconscious material. When Mercury reenters Scorpio, the focus shifts to your friendships and collaborations: people from your past may resurface, or conversations you thought were finished restart with new context. The Scorpio New Moon, Nov 20, is a potent portal. A new collaboration, or vision could emerge that transforms your sense of belonging. Something once shelved or abandoned could now come alive again with fresh relevance.

From Nov 21, Sagittarius Season shifts the focus inward once more: rest, reflection, and tying up loose ends before your solar rebirth next month. Venus joins Scorpio in your social zone until Nov 30, when it opposes Uranus. Someone unexpected could reappear, or a collaboration could take a wild turn. By the month’s end, Mercury and Saturn turn direct, stabilising the chaos, and helping you solidify what’s real. November asks you to trust the sparks of inspiration and connection, some may fizzle, but others could shape the foundations of your next big chapter.

Aquarius: The Disruptor at the Crossroads

This November, the spotlight is on your foundations and reputation. With Uranus retrograding back into Taurus for one last run, you’re not just redecorating the living room, you’re reinventing your very sense of emotional security. Shifts in where or how you live ripple into your career, reshaping how you’re seen in the world. Pair that with Saturn’s final stretch in Pisces, and you’re being asked to commit to what truly matters when it comes to money, values, and security. This is the last time for nearly three decades you’ll experience this grounding, so make it count. Mars fires up your networks early in the month, urging you to put energy into big-picture goals. When Mars opposes Uranus, Nov 4, expect a surprise plot twist through your creative or romantic life that shocks you into a new direction. Think of it as fate giving you a detour — inconvenient, but also a breakthrough. The Taurus Full Moon, Nov 5, lands in your home sector, echoing seeds planted back in April. A housing situation, family matter, or emotional foundation reaches a climax. This could also tie into relocation, study, or travel. What grounds you may not be where you expected.

On Nov 6, Venus enters Scorpio, infusing your public role with magnetic intensity. Your charm is on display, but so are your power dynamics. You may attract attention through your work, or a career connection deepens into something more. By Nov 7, Uranus retrogrades back into Taurus, shaking your domestic scene for the final time until February. Mercury retrograde (Nov 9–28) starts in Sagittarius, pulling back old collaborators, friends, or networks, before dipping into Scorpio, reactivating career conversations you thought were done. Expect déjà vu with bosses, clients, or projects from the past. The universe is teeing up a second look. The Scorpio New Moon, Nov 20, is the month’s power pivot, falling in your zone of career and reputation. This is a chance to seed a transformative new path. Something that stalled before can come alive again, this time with staying power. It’s not just about a job, it’s about reshaping your legacy.

By Sagittarius Season, Nov 21, energy shifts toward your friendships and networks again. You’ll feel drawn to brainstorm, and vision-cast with others. But the real fireworks come at the end of the month: Venus opposes Uranus, Nov 30. Expect a home-career curveball that shakes you awake. A relationship dynamic could shift your public image, or a career breakthrough may send you rethinking your roots. With Saturn and Mercury turning direct by Nov 29, the dust begins to settle. November tests your ability to hold steady while everything around you shifts. The lesson? When your inner foundation is secure, career surprises become opportunities, not threats.

Pisces Rising: The Visionary in Transition

This month is a closing chapter in disguise — the end of one Saturn cycle in your sign, and the beginning of a long new road. With Saturn in your sign preparing to station direct on Nov 27, you’re wrapping up a two-year masterclass on boundaries, discipline, and self-definition. It’s been weighty, but also clarifying: you’ve learned where to conserve energy, when to say no, and how to stand firmly in your truth. After March 2026, Saturn won’t return to your sign for 28 years, so take stock of what this era has taught you about resilience and self-respect. Mars lights up your career early in the month, making work and public presence a hotspot of energy. When Mars opposes Uranus on Nov 4, expect shocks around home vs. career: maybe a surprise relocation, a sudden change in work projects, or an unexpected shake-up in your living environment that redirects your professional focus. 

Something seeded back in April peaks at the Taurus Full Moon, Nov 5, perhaps a writing project, course of study, or important conversation. Themes of intimacy, money, or shared resources could be woven into this climax. Words carry weight, and what you say (or write) could reshape your path forward. On Nov 6, Venus enters Scorpio, deepening your thirst for travel and meaning. Then on Nov 7, Uranus retrogrades back into Taurus, shaking up your communication for one last stretch until February. Expect mental breakthroughs or surprises. Mercury retrograde (Nov 9–28) starts in Sagittarius, stirring career miscommunications, and then slides back into Scorpio. Past opportunities or mentors could reappear, asking you to revise and refine. The Scorpio New Moon, Nov 20, is especially potent, and deeply aligned with your sense of self and creativity. It’s less about setting brand-new intentions and more about reclaiming a vision you’d once abandoned. A trip, course, or philosophy could re-enter your life and completely reshape your worldview over the next six months.

From, Nov 21, the energy returns to your career, highlighting your public role. Venus in Scorpio joins Mercury retrograde here on Nov 24, hinting at a mentor or opportunity from the past. By the end of the month, the energy peaks: Saturn goes direct in Pisces, Nov 27, helping you consolidate lessons of maturity, and Mercury goes direct, Nov 29, clearing up foggy conversations. But the final shocker arrives with Venus opposing Uranus, Nov 30, an unpredictable, liberating moment in the realm of travel, study, love, or publishing. Expect a sudden revelation, a plot twist, or an invitation that changes your course. November is your reminder that endings and beginnings often overlap. This month, you’re both the student and the teacher, the dreamer and the realist, tying off Saturn’s lessons while opening to Jupiter’s gifts.
