November astrology is defined by the sun passing through Scorpio and then entering Sagittarius at the end of the month, along with significant planetary movements like the Mercury Retrograde starting November 9th. A major celestial event is the full moon in Taurus on November 5th, which highlights themes of stability, finances, and emotional needs. Other key events include Mars entering Sagittarius on November 4th, which encourages action and adventure, and Jupiter going retrograde in Cancer on November 11th, amplifying emotions.
Key astrological events and themes
Scorpio Season (until Nov 21): Individuals born during this time are associated with intensity and passion. The early part of the month falls under this sign, which can bring emotional depth and transformation.
Taurus Full Moon (Nov 5): Occurring in Taurus, this full moon brings focus to finances, material possessions, and values, prompting a need for stability. It can also create tension between emotional depth (Scorpio’s opposite) and physical security.
Mars in Sagittarius (from Nov 4): This transit encourages bold action, adventure, and speaking your truth.
Mercury Retrograde (Nov 9–29): The third and final Mercury retrograde of the year will be in Sagittarius and then Scorpio. This period is for reflection rather than chaos, and it can disrupt communication, delay plans, and prompt introspection.
Jupiter Retrograde in Cancer (from Nov 11): This amplifies our emotional world and can bring up sensitive issues.
Sagittarius Season (from Nov 22): The sun moves into Sagittarius, bringing themes of expansion, adventure, and philosophical exploration.
What this means for you
Emotional intensity: Be prepared for heightened emotions and the need for stability, especially around the full moon.
Communication challenges: Pay extra attention to your words and listen more than you speak during the Mercury retrograde to avoid misunderstandings.
Embrace change: Both Mars and Uranus suggest a period of unexpected plot twists, so be ready to adapt and move forward, even if the path isn’t smooth.
Focus on your values: Use the energy of the full moon to reassess your needs, especially concerning finances and personal security.
Look for clarity: While Mercury is retrograde, it’s a good time to revisit past projects, clarify relationships, and find clarity rather than experiencing chaos.
