Well, well, well… November is here! 😊 If you thought you could safely pack away your Halloween costumes, think again. This month kicks off with some heavy astrological vibes, and it feels like Halloween’s spooky energy is sticking around until at least November 19th, when Pluto finally makes its move from Capricorn into Aquarius. The tension will be palpable, thanks to a fiery Mars-Pluto opposition that promises to shake things up.
But hold on—Mars and Pluto aren’t the only celestial bodies locking horns. Venus, Mercury, and the Sun are all lining up for their own cosmic clashes. Venus will oppose Jupiter and square Neptune, Mercury will square Saturn, and the Sun will face off with Uranus. Yikes! 😅
Now, before you panic, let me remind you—we’ve weathered worse storms. And, to be fair, there are some really supportive aspects coming our way too. After November 18th, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief as the cosmic weather clears, leaving only positive vibes to close out the month.
Let’s break it all down and see how we can navigate November’s astrological rollercoaster like pros. 🚀
We begin the month with a potent New Moon in Scorpio on November 1st, happening at 9 degrees. This is a great time for setting intentions around transformation, intimacy, and emotional healing. But there’s a catch: the ruler of this New Moon—Mars—opposes Pluto, adding an intense undercurrent.
Still, Scorpio’s regenerative power is undeniable. Reflect on what needs to be released, especially in areas where Scorpio rules your chart. Oh, and let’s not overlook Mercury’s move into Sagittarius on November 3rd, bringing a more optimistic and adventurous tone to our thoughts. 🚀
The Mars-Pluto opposition is hands-down the most intense aspect of early November. This transit peaks around November 4th, with Mars in Scorpio opposing Pluto at 29 degrees Capricorn. These two planets are powerhouses, and when they’re in opposition, expect fireworks—both literal and metaphorical.
Depending on where Aries and Scorpio rule in your natal chart, and especially where those critical 29 degrees of Capricorn and Cancer fall, you might feel tension in specific life areas. Think career vs. home, ambition vs. emotional needs, or power vs. control.
The key here is to channel this energy productively. Mars wants action; Pluto demands transformation. If you feel conflict brewing, pause and engage your inner Mercury (the planet of communication). Thankfully, Mercury will be forming a supportive trine to Mars and a sextile to Pluto, acting as a “vent” for all this pressure. Tap into clear, constructive communication and problem-solving. Oh, and don’t forget Mercury trines Neptune, too—your intuition will be your secret weapon. 🧘♀️
Venus and Jupiter, however, will add fuel to the fire with their opposition on November 3rd. We might blow things out of proportion, overindulge, or overspend. Keep it in check!
Good news? The Sun trines Saturn, offering a much-needed dose of stability and grounding. It’s a call to get serious, stick to your schedule, and focus on long-term goals. No shortcuts, my friends!
The second week of November doesn’t let up, with Venus squaring Neptune on November 9th and Mercury squaring Saturn on the 12th. These aspects can feel heavy, bringing disillusionment in relationships and frustration in communication.
Venus-Neptune will highlight any illusions we’ve been clinging to, especially in love and finances. Meanwhile, Mercury-Saturn might have us second-guessing our decisions. Use this time to reassess your priorities—no shortcuts or wishful thinking here.
Adding to the mix, Venus moves into Capricorn on November 12th. This shift grounds our desires and brings a more practical, no-nonsense approach to relationships and money matters. 🌱
November 15th brings a powerful Full Moon in Taurus at 24 degrees, tightly conjunct Uranus at 25 degrees. Expect sudden revelations, breakthroughs, and perhaps a few curveballs. Full Moons always mark a culmination, and with Uranus in the mix, we’re talking about shaking things up in a big way.
The beauty of this Full Moon lies in its supportive trines to Pluto and sextiles to Neptune. This is a healing and transformative lunation, perfect for letting go of what no longer serves you. Whether it’s a toxic relationship, a draining job, or old habits, now’s the time to release.
And let’s not forget: Saturn goes direct on November 16th, giving us the green light to move forward with more structure and discipline.
On November 19th, Pluto finally moves into Aquarius, a monumental shift. While its effects may not be immediate, this transit heralds a new era focused on innovation, community, and technological breakthroughs.
As the Sun moves into Sagittarius on November 22nd, it immediately forms a sextile to Pluto, energizing us to take bold steps. But wait—don’t get too comfortable just yet. Mercury stations retrograde on November 26th, retracing its steps from 22 to 6 degrees Sagittarius. Use this retrograde period to revisit and refine your goals.
The month wraps up with a Sun-Mars trine, infusing us with energy and motivation. This is your cosmic green light to take action, but with Mercury retrograde, double-check your plans before moving full steam ahead.
