November begins with Mercury and Venus still retrograde in Scorpio, but they both will go direct this month; Mercury at 5 degrees Scorpio on November 13th and Venus at 22 degrees of Libra on November 14th.
Mercury in Scorpio has a knack for uncovering secrets, investigations and detective work and will be powerful all month because after he goes direct, he proceeds to transit over all the degrees he retrograded on by the end of the month. More interesting reveals are likely this month, folks, particularly between the last two weeks of the month.
Venus retrograde becomes the morning star, very low on the horizon but visible in the east before sunrise, around November 5th-6th, depending on your location. She will be in conjunction with the fixed star, Spica, on November 10th, which is considered an auspicious pairing, particularly if one gazes on it with positive intentions and homage to the goddess energy for the cultivation of new knowledge, fertility and feminine wisdom.
Mars transits the sign of Leo from 18 degrees, 59’ through the sign of Leo on November 27th when he enters Virgo and moves from 0 degrees to 2 degrees, 3’ by month’s end. The big news is that Mars will be conjunct Jupiter at 24 and 26 degrees from November 14th through November 18th.
The transiting South Node will also be involved with their conjunction at 25 degrees of Leo, which will be exact on November 14th. This imparts a dissolving/diffusing kind of energy to that planetary pairing. The past and its karma are present with this triple conjunction. The 2 planets and the south node are also close to the fixed star, Regulus, one of the royal stars of Persia. It is associated with royalty, kings and world leaders. A connection with Regulus in one’s natal chart bodes well for success unless revenge is involved in one’s motivations…then it indicates a fall from grace. He, who won’t be named here, has both Mars and his Ascendant connected to Regulus and is totally motivated by revenge. It is doubly fascinating that his current adversary is Iran, formerly known as Persia.
Both Mars and Jupiter are friends with each other and function well in fire sign Leo as they both rule fire signs; Mars rules Aries and Jupiter rules Sagittarius. The transiting south node, also in Leo, has a dissolving effect on anything it touches and it may very well change the more aggressive “push forward and conquer” course of the joined Mars and Jupiter energies. We shall see how this manifests but we are likely to experience several major transitions in leadership in the world this month. Personally, this could affect anyone with planets or angles close to 26-29 degrees of the fixed signs of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and Scorpio, depending on what house those degrees are in or what house is ruled by the sign of Leo.
Saturn is still retrograde in Aries and moves from 9 degrees 15’ back to 8 degrees 1’. He is very powerful at the end of the month as he goes direct on December 9th at 7 degrees, 55’, so from the last week of November through the end of December, Saturn will exert his energy of truth, contraction, wisdom and right action in the world. Saturn, however, is not in a sign he has much affinity with and his energy can be thwarted or be not as effective as when he is transiting friendly signs.
Uranus is retrograde in Gemini and moves from 4 degrees, 39’ back to 3 degrees, 29’ of that sign. At the beginning of the month, he only makes a trine aspect to Pluto at 3 degrees of Aquarius and a sextile to Neptune in Aries, the two other outer planets. This signifies an interest in bigger-picture philosophies and a willingness to open yourself up to self-examination and to make changes in your behavior to reflect your new awareness. Later in the month, around the 24th, Uranus makes an opposition to the Sun and a square to Mars, which can bring a lot of volatility to any confrontational situation. Don’t make or implement major decisions at that time.
Neptune is still in its retrograde phase and moves from 2 degrees, 4’ of Aries back to 1 degree, 39’ of Aries. He goes into direct motion on December 12th at 1 degree, 36’ of Aries, so he is very powerful now through the end of December. Neptune’s effect is often hard to identify since his energy is etherical, mystical and often foggy as it clouds one’s understanding of what it touches. Depending on what house Neptune is transiting in your natal chart, it is best to just maintain the situation at hand and not push forward, as Neptune doesn’t give much clarity as to the next direction to hitch your star to at this time. But because it is in Aries, the 1st sign of the zodiac, it will bring a fresh start and new energy to the next chapter in your life.
Pluto is in direct motion and moves from 3 degrees, 7’ to 3 degrees, 32’ of Aquarius this month. It makes a trine aspect to Uranus and a sextile aspect to Neptune, all three being outer planets and invisible to the naked eye. They are involved in the big picture issues in life, and since they have all moved into new signs over the last 2 years, it’s a new ballgame for all of us in the very near future!
READ YOUR SUN SIGN AND RISING SIGN FOR BEST RESULTS:
Aries — March 21-April 19: With Mars, your ruling planet, moving closer to Jupiter in the first 2 weeks of the month and in your solar 5th house of creativity, you have more energy, creativity and stamina in the tasks you undertake now and through almost the entire month of November. It doesn’t get dodgy until around November 23-27th when the Sun, Moon and Uranus make a square to Mars’s placement in early Virgo. This makes things unstable and something may happen that could change the things you do and how you do them. Don’t act rashly at that time. Use the positive lunar vibes on the 20th and 21st to your benefit.
Taurus — April 20-May 20: With your ruling planet, Venus, in retrograde motion until November 14th, you are returning to familiar comforts, things and people. Venus in Libra, even when retrograde, likes to maintain relationships and foster harmony with everyone. It doesn’t mean there’s not going to be a breakup with someone or an upset. Just honor your boundaries and know your limits. There’s lots of energy around your home, family, ancestors and real estate for the next couple of months, so if you have any projects you want to accomplish, start them in early December, before Jupiter goes retrograde on December 10th. The cosmic vibes favor your intentions and actions on the 22nd and 23rd.
Gemini — May 21-June 21: With Mercury retrograde in Scorpio until November 13th, you are a bit stalled out in your accomplishments. Something keeps pulling you back to earlier times. If there is something you are curious about, it’s a great time to dig deeper into any subject that fascinates you. Be careful about your attractions at this time as Uranus is in your sign and that can mean sudden fascinations as well as equally sudden aversions. Just chill out and journey inward until Mercury is moving forward. Stay in touch with your siblings and keep your communications clear. Your best days are the 24th, which is a full Moon in your sign and the 25th.
Cancer — June 22-July 23: With the Mars/Jupiter/South Node conjunction in your solar 2nd house of assets, money earned and things of value, you might have additional expenses this month, which will trigger some anxiety about cash flow. Do your best and know this energy may persist for you for the next 8 months as both Mars and Jupiter do their retrograde dance in December and January 2027, respectively. That keeps them transiting that house. After Saturn goes direct in December, things improve and you will always have job and enough income to be comfortable. Use the good vibes on the 26th and 27th to further your own cause.
Leo — July 24-August 23: Mars, Jupiter and the South Node come together in your sign in the middle of the month, so use the momentum of Mars and Jupiter moving you forward for the first ten days of the month to your benefit. There is often a tendency to spend more money while Mars is in front of Jupiter, so try to avoid the indulgences you encounter. Leo rules the heart, so those with heart issues need to not overdo it, as the South Node’s energy can be harmful to the heart, pulling energy out of it. The Sun and Mercury retrograde in your solar 4th house have you spending more time at home. Enjoy it! The 1st, 2nd, 28th and 29th are your stellar days.
Virgo — August 24-September 22: Mercury retrograde in your solar 3rd house may have you spending more time with siblings and neighbors while giving you lots of activities or errands in your local vicinity. That actually can be kind of fun. Give yourself some time off as the Mars/Jupiter/South Node conjunction happens in your solar 12th house of seclusion, escape, surrender and karma. Take a day or two and just get away from the familiar to rejuvenate your spirit. Avoid confrontations on the full Moon on the 24th and a few days after. The lunar vibes favor you on the 3rd, 4th and 30th.
Libra — September 23-October 22: With Venus currently retrograde and back in your sign in your solar 1st house, there’s an internal review of your image going on in your psyche, taking notes about what you want to improve. When Venus is direct, you can take action on those ideas and achieve what you want to achieve. The upcoming Mars/Jupiter/South Node conjunction activates your 11th house of social/business associates, your income stream and your houses of income, communication, work and contracts and partnerships. Stay connected but don’t expect much momentum until the middle of the month. Get it in writing between the 14th and 23rd. Your best days are the 5th, 6th, and most of the 7th.
Scorpio — October 23-November 22: With your ruler, Mars, approaching a conjunction with Jupiter and the South Node in your solar 10th house of public image and career, this could be a special and busy time for recognition of your accomplishments and a push into new territory for your career. Say yes, but avoid commitments around the 24th as this could be a less-than-serious offer or one with disagreeable strings attached. The situation becomes clearer after the 13th when Mercury goes into direct motion in your sign. Delay contracts until after that date. The 8th and new Moon on the 9th are days when things can go your way.
Sagittarius — November 23-December 20: With Jupiter in Leo getting close to the transiting South Node, some old friends, lovers, acquaintances might come back into the picture for a short period to show their affection and support for you. This conjunction happens in your solar 9th house and could involve some travel opportunities or an offer to take a trip. Both Jupiter and Mars have their retrograde phases in the near future through mid-April, so there will be another opportunity in the new year. Don’t fret if you can’t do it in the next two months. The 10th, 11th and AM hours of the 12th are your stellar days.
Capricorn — December 21-January 20: Your ruling planet, Saturn, is entering a powerful phase this month before it goes direct in early December. What exactly is it that you are aching to accomplish? Saturn is retrograde in your solar 4th house, and the Mars/Jupiter/South Node conjunction is happening in your solar 8th house so you might be dealing with an ending and an inheritance or legacy disbursement coming through. Move slowly through whatever experience is making its way to you. The contracting energy of Saturn will force you to slow down, so just don’t fight it. The lunar vibes in the PM hours of the 12th, the 13th and 14th give you the chance to have things go your way.
Aquarius — January 21-February 19: With all the energy of the Mars/Jupiter/South Node conjunction in Leo in your solar 7th house of partnership, you have things to unravel and deal with. This is not a static situation; it is coming to a head, particularly around the middle of the month, as you will have decisions to make. Pluto is still basically on your ascendant and that makes everything seem life or death in its intensity. This is just how you are viewing matters. Saturn is powerful in your solar third house, so make sure you are communicating clearly and not in an obtuse manner. The days of the 15th, the 16th and the AM hours of the 17th should bring clarity, as both Mercury and Venus are direct then.
Pisces — February 20-March 20: With the Mars/Jupiter/South Node conjunction happening in your solar 6th house of health, habits and small pets, you could be feeling energized to make some positive changes now. So, act on it and make a commitment to make a positive change. The Sun and Mercury retrograde in Scorpio in your solar 9th house beckon you to plan a foreign trip. And there is still the energy of Uranus retrograde in your solar 4th house signaling the potential for a move in the next year. What will you do? Use the good vibes on the 18th and 19th to inform you of the direction to take.
