The astrology of November...
is filled with powerful shifts in the cosmos; specifically one GIANT shift for us all. From a transformative New Moon in Scorpio to the final ingress of Pluto into Aquarius, this month is about emotional growth, releasing old patterns, and embracing change.
Some key themes you'll want to explore this month include emotional depth, personal transformation, and a focus on grounding energy as we head towards the end of the year. Let’s explore some of the major transits and how they might affect you.
New Moon in Scorpio (November 1)
Themes: Transformation, deep emotional renewal, releasing toxic patterns.
Insights: This New Moon asks us to plant seeds of transformation. Scorpio encourages diving into our shadows and releasing what no longer serves us.
Suggestions: Reflect on areas where you’d like to make a significant change, especially around emotional habits, relationships, or personal growth.
Mercury in Scorpio Trine Mars in Cancer (November 1-2)
Themes: Direct communication, assertiveness in emotional conversations.
Insights: This aspect is perfect for addressing emotional truths. The flow between Mercury and Mars adds a layer of assertiveness, encouraging conversations that lead to healing.
Suggestions: Have heart-to-heart talks, resolve misunderstandings, and express your needs openly.
Venus in Sagittarius opposite Jupiter (Rx) in Gemini
Theme: Balancing Big Dreams with Realism
Insight: This transit brings a surge of optimism and idealism in relationships, love, and personal values; but it may also prompt overindulgence or unrealistic expectations if we’re not mindful.
Suggestion: Embrace adventure and growth; but set clear, practical boundaries for yourself. Enjoy life’s pleasures while keeping one foot firmly on the ground.
Mars in Cancer Opposite Pluto in Capricorn (November 1-6)
Themes: Power dynamics, inner tension, transformation.
Insights: This intense transit can reveal struggles around control and security. Mars opposite Pluto may bring hidden conflicts to the surface, particularly in personal or professional realms.
Suggestions: Stay grounded, and observe situations before you react. Seek constructive ways to address any power struggles that may arise.
This is the first of 3 oppositions, as Mars will be moving retrograde on December 6. However, before the next opposition, Mars and Pluto will be moving into Leo and Aquarius, respectively, so this will be the only time the energy of Cancer and Capricorn will colorthis opposition.
Sun in Scorpio Trine Saturn in Pisces (November 4-5)
Themes: Discipline, stability, emotional resilience.
Insights: This supportive trine between the Sun and Saturn helps us focus on long-term goals and build emotional resilience. It’s a good time for commitment and planning, especially in creative or personal growth areas.
Suggestions: Set realistic goals, commit to personal growth practices, and look for ways to build stability back into your routines.
Full Moon in Taurus (November 15)
Themes: Grounding, completion, abundance.
Insights: As the last supermoon of the year, this Full Moon in Taurus brings the opportunity to celebrate what you’ve built and let go of anything that hinders your sense of security and abundance.
Suggestions: Reflect on your accomplishments, practice gratitude, and enjoy nature or sensory experiences that Taurus loves.
Sun in Scorpio Opposite Uranus in Taurus (November 16-17)
Themes: Unexpected change, breaking free, individuality.
Insights: Uranus' energy encourages shaking up routines or outdated beliefs. This opposition may bring sudden insights that challenge your status quo.
Suggestions: Be open to change, embrace your individuality, and allow room for spontaneity. Avoid making impulsive decisions if you’re feeling particularly emotional.
Sun in Scorpio Opposite Neptune in Pisces (November 18-19)
Themes: Dreams vs. reality, intuition, idealism.
Insights: This aspect may blur boundaries between reality and the dream world, heightening your intuition but also potentially causing confusion.
Suggestions: Pay attention to your dreams, journal any insights, and be cautious about making concrete decisions until you feel grounded.
This will be especially important, as the energy feels like a preview of Mercury Retrograde, coming on November 25.
Sagittarius Season Begins (November 21)

Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius Begins (November 25)
Themes: Reflection, communication review, inner focus.
Insights: This Mercury Retrograde asks us to slow down and review our beliefs, travel plans, or learning paths. It’s a time to revisit and refine rather than forge ahead.
