As we step into November, we feel the veil between worlds grow thinner, and the energy invites us to look within. This is no ordinary month; it is a bridge between the deep introspection of Scorpio and the expansive quest for truth of Sagittarius. November 2025 arrives full of celestial events that will ask for our honesty, patience, and above all, a profound connection to our purpose.
On my path as an astrologer and coach, I’ve learned that transits are not sentences, but invitations. They are the language of the cosmos speaking directly to us, offering opportunities to heal, grow, and align with our true north. And this month, the cosmic conversation will be intense, marked by a significant Mercury retrograde, powerful moons, and shifts in energy that will prepare us for the end of the year. Join me on this journey; I offer you my perspective so you can navigate these waters with consciousness and wisdom.
A Month of Deep Transformation and Reflection
The first part of November continues to vibrate with the intensity of Scorpio season. It is a time for truth, for bringing to light what has been hidden in the shadows of our psyche and our relationships. However, the heavens have a key transition in store for us. As we move forward, we will feel the energy shift towards the optimism and adventure of Sagittarius. But before we shoot our arrows toward new horizons, the universe asks us to pause. A much needed pause to re-evaluate the map of our journey.
The Stars of the Month: Key Planetary Transits
Several planets will change signs, redefining the tone of our interactions and motivations. Each of these movements is a piece of the great energetic puzzle of the month.
Venus in Scorpio (from November 6th): The Intensity of Desire
When Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and values, enters the passionate sign of Scorpio, relationships become anything but superficial. This transit calls for a soul to soul connection. We no longer settle for the surface level; we seek intimacy, loyalty, and an authentic emotional fusion. It is an excellent period for healing wounds in our relationships, speaking with complete honesty, and strengthening bonds through shared vulnerability. Ask yourself: What do I truly value in a connection? What needs to come to light for my relationships to be more authentic?
Mars in Sagittarius (from November 4th): The Arrow of Truth
Mars, the planet of action and energy, enters the optimistic and philosophical Sagittarius. Our physical energy and motivation will be directed towards the search for a greater purpose. We will feel an impulse to defend our beliefs, learn, travel, and expand our horizons. The key with this transit is to channel that fiery energy towards a goal that resonates with our highest truth. Avoid dogmatic arguments and use this drive to start that course you’ve been wanting to take, plan an enriching trip, or simply dare to live more adventurously.
The Sun enters Sagittarius (November 22nd): Time to Broaden Horizons!
On the 22nd, the Sun leaves the depths of Scorpio to ignite the flame of Sagittarius. Happy birthday to all Sagittarians! For everyone, this change marks the beginning of a cycle of greater optimism, faith, and a search for meaning. The energy becomes lighter, inviting us to look to the future with hope. It is the perfect time to connect with our philosophy of life, learn something new, and remember that, beyond the difficulties, there is always a wider horizon to explore.
The Main Event: Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius (November 9th to 29th)
Here we arrive at the heart of the month. Mercury, the messenger of the zodiac, begins its retrograde motion in the sign of Sagittarius. Far from being an event to fear, I see it as a sacred opportunity for introspection. When Mercury retrogrades in Sagittarius, the review is not about small details, but about our great truths.
This period invites us to question:
- Our beliefs: Are the philosophies that guide my life still valid for me? Am I living according to my truth or someone else’s?
- Our future plans: It’s time to review those big plans for travel, higher education, or expansion projects. They may need an adjustment or a more realistic perspective.
- Our communication: We may be prone to misunderstandings by speaking too frankly or without all the facts. Patience and active listening will be our best allies.
My advice during these weeks is simple: Reflect more and proclaim less. Use this time to read, study, meditate, and journal. Review your long term goals and make sure the destination you’re aiming for is still where your heart wants to go. Double check your travel reservations and be patient with technological or communication delays. It is a cosmic pause to recalibrate our inner compass.
Messages from the Moon: Our Emotional Beacons
The Moon, with its constant cycle, offers us two key moments of emotional anchoring and release during November.
Full Moon in Taurus (November 5th): Anchoring into What’s Valuable
Just before the retrograde energy settles in, we have a beautiful Full Moon in the sign of Taurus. This lunation illuminates our relationship with security, self worth, and the material world. It is a moment of culmination that asks us: What have you built that is solid and valuable? Do you feel secure and grounded in your life? It is a wonderful opportunity to be grateful for what we have, enjoy the simple pleasures of life, and release any attachment to a sense of security that is actually unstable or toxic.
New Moon in Scorpio (November 20th): Sowing Seeds in the Depths
In the midst of Mercury’s retrograde, a New Moon arrives in Scorpio. New Moons are for setting intentions, and in Scorpio, this planting happens in the fertile ground of our psyche. It is the perfect time to set an intention for profound transformation. What old pattern, fear, or resentment are you ready to let die and transform into personal power? This is not a lunation for asking for material things, but for asking for courage, resilience, and the ability to be reborn from our own ashes, stronger and more authentic.
The Awakening of the Giants: Jupiter and Saturn
The great teachers of the zodiac also have important movements that will set the pace for the month and beyond.
- Jupiter Begins its Retrograde (November 11th): The planet of expansion and good fortune begins to move backward, asking us to focus on inward growth. It is time to review our faith and ensure that our expansion is not based on excess, but on well integrated wisdom.
- Saturn Goes Direct (November 28th): Great news to end the month! Saturn, the lord of karma and structure, ends its retrograde period. Plans, projects, and responsibilities that have been stalled or under review since July will begin to move forward. We will feel that barriers are dissolving and that we can once again build on solid foundations. It is a green light from the cosmos to move forward with discipline and maturity.
Integrating the Wisdom of November
Dear reader, November 2025 is a month to be patient with ourselves and with others. It is a call to review our deepest truths before we set out to conquer new worlds. It asks for honesty in our relationships, courage to transform, and faith in the path that unfolds before us, even if we don’t fully understand it at times.
