November 2025 Astrology Transits

The astrology of November...

November 2025 is an intense, transformative month, packed with retrogrades, Lilith activations, and deep Scorpio energy that challenges us to confront what has previously been hidden. This is a month of revealing truth, reclaiming power, and redefining what freedom and intimacy mean in our lives. As the penultimate month of the year, it really packs a punch!

Let’s look at the major transits shaping the month ahead:

November 1: Mars conjunct Lilith in Scorpio

Passions run deep as Mars meets with Lilith on the first day of the month, stirring up raw emotions, suppressed desires, and themes of power and shadows. This energy can feel both magnetic and confrontational, urging us to finally face what we’ve repressed.

November 4 – Mars enters Sagittarius opposite Uranus in Gemini

Mars bursts into adventurous Sagittarius, but immediately clashes with Uranus, sparking sudden disruptions in travel, plans, or beliefs. Restlessness is high – channel that energy into exploration rather than reckless choices. Be cautious during the first few days of this transit!

November 5: Full Moon in Taurus (13°22’)

This earthy Full Moon brings focus to stability, security, and values, highlighting the balance between our desires (Scorpio) and comfort (Taurus). It’s a grounding moment in the midst of an otherwise intense and turbulent month. What seeds did you plant with the New Moon in Taurus back in May that may now be coming to fruition?

November 6 – Venus enters Scorpio, square Pluto in Aquarius

Relationships and desires deepen, but not without intensity. This transit can bring powerful encounters with people of past importance or reveal hidden dynamics in love and money. The intensity of Scorpio and Pluto is not to be taken lightly.

November 7: Uranus Retrograde leaves Gemini

Uranus retrogrades back into Taurus for a final review of themes around stability, resources, and personal freedom. This shift slows the pace of innovation but grounds us in lessons we’ve been working on since 2018. Make the most of this final transit of Gemini in Taurus before it heads back into Gemini at the end of April 2026.

November 9: Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius begins (6°51’)

Mercury’s final retrograde of the year in Sagittarius challenges our beliefs, communication, and ability to see the bigger picture clearly. Misunderstandings may arise in travel, learning, and planning – patience is key for the rest of this month as Mercury dances backward through Sagittarius and then Scorpio.

November 11 – Jupiter Retrograde in Cancer trine Saturn Retrograde in Pisces

A supportive aspect between the planet of abundance and the plant of restriction softens an otherwise heavy feeling as Jupiter begins its walk backward today. This is a great moment for reflecting on long-term dreams and how to balance expansion with grounded discipline.

November 12: Mercury Retrograde conjunct Mars in Sagittarius

This quick, fiery alignment sparks debates, impulsive words, and passionate exchanges. Be careful of reacting too quickly – this transit asks for honesty, but also wisdom and discernment.

November 18: Sun conjunct Lilith in Scorpio, Mercury Retrograde leaves Sagittarius

On November 18, the Sun shines a light on Lilith’s themes of shadow, autonomy, and truth in Scorpio. This is a powerful day for empowerment, reclaiming agency, and standing firmly in your authenticity.

On the same day, Mercury slides back into Scorpio, intensifying conversations and turning our focus toward secrets, depth, and inner transformation.

November 20 – New Moon in Scorpio (28°11’) opposite Uranus Retrograde in Taurus, Sun conjunct Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio

A deeply transformative New Moon invites us to release old attachments and plant seeds of renewal. Scorpio’s energy makes this a potent reset for the soul. Expect emotional breakthroughs or sudden changes in intimacy, finances, or power dynamics.

On the same day, a cazimi between Mercury and the Sun brings clarity in the midst of Mercury’s retrograde, offering potential breakthroughs around hidden truths and inner dialogue.

November 21: Mercury Retrograde conjunct Lilith in Scorpio, Sun enters Sagittarius

Hidden voices and suppressed stories may come to the surface when Mercury Retrograde meets Lilith in Scorpio. This is an opportunity to reclaim power through words and to speak your truth in a way that liberates you – mind, body and soul.

On the same day, the Sun enters the sign of the archer – Sagittarius. The energy of the cosmos lightens as Sagittarius season begins, shifting us from Scorpio’s depth into exploration, optimism, and expansion.

November 24: Mercury Retrograde conjunct Venus in Scorpio

Conversations that revolve around relationships, money, or values resurface for review during this quick transit. This is a good time to revisit intimacy and shared resources with honesty.

November 27: Saturn Direct in Pisces (25°09’)

After months of review, Saturn finally turns direct, helping us apply lessons of boundaries, discipline, and spiritual maturity. Movement forward now feels more possible in the areas we’ve been refining since July.

November 28: Venus conjunct Lilith in Scorpio

This powerful alignment brings intensity to relationships, self-worth, and desire. Themes of empowerment, autonomy, and unfiltered passion may surface strongly during this short transit.

November 29: Mercury Direct in Scorpio (20°42’)

Mercury finally stations direct, bringing clarity to what was revealed during the retrograde. Deep truths and honest conversations move forward with greater ease. Remember: There is a period of slow integration as Mercury slowly turns around – the post-shadow period. Don’t forget, it’s still important to take things slow during this time.

November 30: Venus enters Sagittarius

On the last day of the month, Venus shifts into Sagittarius, bringing more optimism and freedom to relationships, money, and creativity. After weeks of intensity, the heart is ready for adventure once again.

The astrology of November is not a light month – it asks us to dig deep, confront shadows, and find empowerment in our truth. Yet with Mercury and Saturn both moving forward by the end of the month, plus Sagittarius season lifting the tone, there’s a sense of rebirth and new perspective waiting on the other side.
