NOVEMBER 2025
Mercury is retrograde from November 9 to November 29. He travels from 6 degrees of Sagittarius to 20 degrees of Scorpio. The section of your chart that holds those degrees shows you where you need to do the most revision and repair. In the USA chart, those degrees are in the hidden, behind the scenes area. Secrets will be revealed.
Saturn and Jupiter also change direction. Saturn ends his backward travel through the end of Pisces, and Jupiter stops his forward movement in Cancer. Slide through the month without making any major changes to your life.
November 1 – Moon in Pisces. Today is Samhain, a day when Ancient Celts believed that the boundary between the world of the living and the spirit world was at its thinnest. This allows spirits, including deceased ancestors and supernatural entities, to cross into the physical world. It is a day to be sensitive to the messages you can glean by noting what appears before you.
November 2 – Moon in Pisces/Aries. Daylight Savings Time ends at 2 am. This adds to the spaced out feeling you will carry through the day. Your intuition is very strong so listen to it. Think of what you want to do this winter with its short, cold days. Find comfort in artistic projects, looking at the beauty around you, and in sharing love with your partner.
November 3 – Moon in Aries. Mercury is slowing down and acting a bit sluggish. He leaves for vacation on Sunday morning. You have this workweek to get things in order. Make lists and reminders for what you want to do this week and this month. Order your turkey and other holiday foods. Tonight is a good time for testing your skill at divination through tarot cards and tea leaves.
November 4 – Moon in Aries/Taurus. Mars enters Sagittarius to energize your wanderlust. He contacts Uranus to blow apart your plans and your rigid thinking. It’s time to open your mind to new places, new ideas, and new philosophies. Ask someone to teach you a new technique to help you navigate online. Post something that lets people see who you really are.
November 5 – Moon in Taurus. Today’s full Moon is a time to quiet your mind and listen to what nature tells you. Meditate on feeling close to those who have passed on. Tend to your garden and potted plants. Sprout seeds that you can add to your diet. Look for bargains in the supermarket so you can stock up for the winter. Pamper your body.
November 6 – Moon in Gemini. Collect the ideas that are flooding your mind. Gather them into a bouquet so that you can choose each one when you need stimulation. Venus enters Scorpio. Expect your passions to override your logic. You’ll see and hear below the surface into what people are saying. Keep your secrets close to you.
November 7 – Moon in Gemini. Uranus backs into Taurus to shake up the things you refuse to change. He makes it hard to stay grounded. Put in some last-minute shopping and ordering. Reserve books from the library. Send off those emails and texts that you’ve waited to answer. Clean out your inbox. Have an intense conversation with your partner about the challenges to closeness in your relationship.
November 8 – Moon in Cancer. Mercury is packing his bags and checking his reservations in preparation for his holiday. He doesn’t have the focus to spellcheck your communications. Have a lovely day at home with your family. Look at pictures and videos and enjoy the memories. Reflect on the past several months to see what you would have done differently.
November 9 – Moon in Cancer. Mercury starts his retrograde period at 2:02 pm. This adds confusion to the day so don’t stress out if you can’t find an object you just put down or you forget to do an important chore. It’s a day to chill and enjoy simple pleasures. Pull out an old favorite recipe to cook or bake. Hang out with the friends who make you feel good.
November 10 – Moon in Cancer/Leo. Start the week with a new perspective. Accept that things may screw up and it’s not your fault. Practice detachment and acceptance. If it is hard to do, read a Buddhist text. Get excited by ideas of where you can travel that will thrill you. Pick up an unfinished creative project and find a new way to end it.
November 11 – Moon in Leo. Jupiter turns retrograde. Look back on the benefits he brought to your home and family since June. He now gives you the chance to clean up any messes and loose ends. Adjust your pace to a slower beat. Tell your kids the meaning of a day devoted to those who served their country. Do something to bring meaning to their suffering.
November 12 – Moon in Leo. Put down a first draft of the thoughts you’ve been meaning to write into a book, blog, presentation, or article. Let it flow out of you without censoring or worrying about grammar. Be a bit selfish as you take the time to express your ideas. Then, you can concentrate on shining on and encouraging others to do the same.
November 13 – Moon in Virgo. Remember all the verbs that begin with re-. That’s what you want to do today. It’s a day to revisit old ideas, revise old plans, and relinquish what isn’t working. Go through your workspace and recycle papers and journals. Return books and other items you borrowed. Rethink and reconsider why you feel stuck. Reimagine a new life.
November 14 – Moon in Virgo. Go through file cabinets, closets, and bookshelves to cull out what you no longer need. Ask an elderly friend or relative if you can help them do that in their house. Rejoin a group where you used to volunteer. The food pantries need extra help now. Make a list of what needs to be fixed that you can do yourself. Get serious about your diet.
November 15 – Moon in Libra. Work on rebalancing all your relationships, not just your primary one.

Keep listening to your gut feelings. Be sensitive to the energy you feel about certain people. Reprogram yourself to have better sleep.
November 19 – Moon in Scorpio. Review the emotional events of the past six months and see how you can heal those hurts. Dig them up and let them go. Find time and space for solitude so that you can listen to what the universe tells you. You don’t have the patience to listen to people’s chatter since your inner world is so much more interesting.
November 20 – Moon in Sagittarius. Mercury sits with today’s new Moon. He checks in to give ideas and feelings about the mysteries of life for you to contemplate while he is still on his vacation. He asks you to surrender your focus on the material world. Take your mind to a higher level. Study the words of the ancient masters. Take time to meditate.
November 21 – Moon in Sagittarius. The Sun enters Sagittarius at 8:36 pm EST. This lightens your mood. The energy of the day is unstable due to this transition. The Sun has work to do before leaving Scorpio. His meeting with Uranus reminds you that nothing is set in stone. The Sun and Neptune give you a boost of spiritual blessings.

Research career opportunities that fit your dreams. Look back over your business plan and make adjustments. It’s easy to be practical and pragmatic when you have to make decisions.
November 25 – Moon in Aquarius. It’s the perfect day for brainstorming sessions on all sorts of topics. Turn it into a game where each member of the group adds an outrageous idea, and then the group sees which ones they like. Form an idea club, like a book club, where you discuss concepts and get to see other people’s viewpoints. Catch up on your reading.
November 26 – Moon in Aquarius. Underneath the thoughts and worries is a place inside you where you can find peace and safety. Stay centered as you shop and prepare for the holiday. If you are traveling today, bring spiritual music to hear while you are on route. Invite friends who are alone to join you for tomorrow’s meal.
November 27 – Moon in Aquarius/Pisces. Follow that urge to break with the past and invent new traditions for the holiday. At least, vary the menu from the old staples. Saturn is treading water all day before he turns direct later tonight. It feels like you are moving in slow motion as he stretches out the day. Be grateful for what you have, show gratitude to the cook, and enjoy the day.
November 28 – Moon in Pisces. There’s a feeling of disorientation today while adjusting to Saturn starting to move forward yesterday and Mercury stopping to end his retrograde tomorrow.

November 29 – Moon in Pisces. Mercury turns direct at 12:38 pm EST. Don’t rush out and buy things.
