Hey beautiful souls, happy November! The air is crisp, pumpkins are everywhere, and gratitude is in full bloom. This is the month of Thanksgiving gatherings, cozy sweaters, golden leaves, and those irresistible Black Friday sales that somehow test our willpower every single year.
But beyond all that autumn charm, November brings some major cosmic vibes. Retrogrades, emotional depth, and powerful lunations are setting the stage for transformation. So grab a blanket, pour yourself something warm, and let’s dive into what the stars have in store for us.
✨ The Overall Energy of November
The keyword for this month is reflection. Mercury, Jupiter, and Uranus are all retrograde, pulling us inward to review, rethink, and realign. The universe is pressing pause so we can process, heal, and integrate lessons before moving forward.
If life feels a bit slow or uncertain, that’s okay. Retrogrades aren’t roadblocks; they’re mirrors. They show us what needs closure and what deserves renewal. This is the month to clean the emotional slate and prepare for a brighter chapter.
Key Dates This November
🔥 Mars Enters Sagittarius – Truth Comes Alive (November 4)
When Mars bursts into Sagittarius, everything gets louder and bolder. Expect big opinions, spontaneous adventures, and a craving for honesty. Conversations might heat up, but they’ll also open your eyes.
Courage and conviction rise now. It’s a time to stand in your truth, even if it shakes things up. Passion meets purpose — and that’s a beautiful combo.
🌕 Full Moon in Taurus – Abundance and Emotional Stability (November 5)
This Full Moon in Taurus is a heart warmer. It’s grounding, sensual, and filled with gratitude energy — perfect for the Thanksgiving season. Themes of generosity, balance, and emotional fulfillment shine bright.
The Six of Pentacles tarot connection reminds us that true abundance is the sacred exchange of giving and receiving. Under this moonlight, I slow down, savor what I have, and remember that joy multiplies when it’s shared.
💋 Venus Enters Scorpio – Deep Love and Shadow Work (November 7)
Venus moves into Scorpio, and wow, the intensity ramps up. This transit is all about intimacy, passion, and emotional truth. Secrets may surface, but they’re here to heal.
With Pluto in the mix, relationships transform at a soul level. If it’s not real, it’s revealed. If it’s worth saving, it deepens. Stay open, stay honest, and let love guide the excavation.
⚡ Uranus Retrograde Re-Enters Taurus – A Wake-Up for the World (November 8)
This is one of November’s most important moments. Uranus, planet of revolution, returns to Taurus, shaking up old systems around finances, food, and stability. Expect headlines and shifts in collective values.
Personally, it’s a nudge to redefine what security really means. It’s not about control. It’s about trust, adaptability, and living with integrity.
🌀 Mercury Retrograde – Time to Reconnect with Truth (November 10–30)
Here we go again. Mercury retrograde begins in Sagittarius and moves back into Scorpio later in the month. Communication can get fuzzy, so check those texts twice and don’t take misunderstandings too seriously.
This retrograde is about reevaluating your beliefs and emotional truths. It’s a spiritual review period — one that asks, “Do my thoughts align with my heart?” Write, meditate, reflect. You’ll come out of this cycle clearer and stronger.
🌊 Jupiter Retrograde – Nurturing Growth from Within (November 11)
Jupiter, the planet of wisdom and expansion, turns retrograde in Cancer. This is about emotional growth, home, and healing. Instead of chasing new horizons, nurture the seeds you’ve already planted.
Growth doesn’t always mean more — sometimes it means deeper. Let this be your reminder to rest, reflect, and reconnect with your why.
💥 Mercury Conjunct Mars – Passion Meets Perspective (November 12)
Words have power now. Mercury and Mars join forces, creating fiery exchanges and fast decisions. Use your voice wisely. Passion can spark creativity or conflict — the choice is yours.
It’s a perfect day for breakthroughs, brainstorming, and speaking from the heart (once you’ve cooled down first).
🌑 New Moon in Scorpio – Release and Rebirth (November 19–20)
This New Moon at 28° Scorpio is a powerhouse. It’s an ending and a beginning all at once, helping us release illusions and emotional baggage.
With Mercury retrograde nearby, it’s time for deep reflection. Let go of fantasies that no longer fit who you are. The Seven of Cups tarot energy reminds us to choose our dreams wisely — clarity is power.
Set your intentions for truth, transformation, and emotional freedom.
☀️ Sun Enters Sagittarius – The Light Returns (November 22)
When the Sun moves into Sagittarius, the energy brightens. After all that emotional shadow work, the cosmos invites us to laugh, explore, and open our hearts again. It’s time to play, to travel, to believe.
💞 Venus Meets Mercury Retrograde (November 25)
Sweet, soulful conversations flow easily now. You might reconnect with someone from the past or find peace through heartfelt communication. It’s about healing with words and listening with love.
💫 Venus Enters Sagittarius (November 30)
We wrap up November with lighter energy. Venus in Sagittarius brings optimism, flirtation, and wanderlust. The collective mood lifts, and our hearts feel free again.
🌻 The Collective Attitude and Perspective
November begins introspective and emotional, but ends hopeful and expansive. People crave truth and depth early in the month, then shift toward freedom, humor, and connection.
We’re collectively moving from shadow to sunrise, learning that joy and wisdom can coexist. This is the month when we stop surviving and start thriving again.
🌟 How to Read Your Rising Sign Forecast
If you’re new to astrology, here’s the magic behind it all. Your Rising Sign, also known as your Ascendant, is the zodiac sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at the exact moment you were born. It acts like the “front door” of your birth chart, setting the tone for how the twelve houses — or life areas — are arranged.
Each house in astrology rules a different part of life: love, career, home, health, creativity, and more. So when big cosmic events like Full Moons, New Moons, or retrogrades happen, they “light up” the house connected to that zodiac sign in your chart.
✨ Why Each Rising Sign Has Three Houses This Month
In November, the stars are extra active! We’re working with three major energy shifts:
🌕 Full Moon in Taurus (Nov 5) & Uranus in Taurus (Nov 8)
🌊 Jupiter Retrograde Begins (Nov 11, 25° Cancer)
🌑 New Moon in Scorpio (Nov 19/20) + Mercury Retrograde
Each of these celestial events happens in a different zodiac sign — Taurus, Cancer, and Scorpio — which means they influence three separate houses for you depending on your Rising Sign.
Think of it like this: your life is a big twelve-room home. Each room represents a part of your world, one for relationships, one for career, one for health, and so on. When a planet or Moon moves through the sky, it steps into a particular room and starts rearranging the energy there.
So if you see three houses listed for your Rising Sign, it’s because each major November transit is activating a different area of your chart. The Full Moon might highlight your finances, Jupiter Retrograde could stir growth at home, and the New Moon might bring transformation in relationships.
Together, they tell your full November story: what’s releasing, what’s reflecting, and what’s beginning again.
