November Astrology Transits 2025
November is a month of big shifts and slow reflection. Most planets are in retrograde, which means the universe is asking us to look back before we move forward. This is not about predictions but about understanding the mood of the month and how we can work with it.

The Energy of the Month
The overall mood of November is deep and emotional. Scorpio season dominates the first half of the month and encourages healing, introspection and emotional honesty. Water signs like Scorpio and Pisces remind us to trust our feelings and move with flow instead of force.
This month invites personal transformation. You may feel a little foggy, but the goal is not clarity just yet. The goal is understanding what needs releasing. Think of this as the composting phase before the new growth of December.
November 1 to 8: Deep Reflection and Spiritual Grounding
November begins with a Pisces Moon connecting with the North Node and the Scorpio Sun. This alignment reminds us to lead with compassion and surrender control. It is a perfect time for spiritual practice, journaling or prayer.
Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces create a strong trine all month. Jupiter expands and Saturn stabilises, helping you turn inspiration into something practical. This energy teaches us how to balance hope with responsibility. It supports mature decision making and long term goals.
Mars enters Sagittarius on November 4 and joins Mercury, which can make communication fiery and bold. People may be outspoken or defensive. Choose patience over impulse. You do not need to attend every argument you are invited to.
The Full Moon in Taurus on November 5 brings attention to stability and comfort. It asks you to ground your spiritual goals into real life. A Full Moon in Taurus loves consistency, beauty and security. It is a reminder that peace and kindness do not make you weak.
Venus enters Scorpio on November 6, moving from calm Libra into deeper emotional waters. Relationships may feel more intense. Hidden feelings can rise to the surface for healing.
Uranus retrogrades back into Taurus on November 7. This is a chance to revisit financial or security matters that have been unstable since 2018. Ask yourself what safety really means to you.
November 9 to 15: Words Carry Power
Mercury goes retrograde on November 9 while conjunct Mars. This can bring sharp communication or heated discussions. Words can sting during this period. If you feel triggered, pause before responding.
Jupiter turns retrograde on November 11, encouraging you to rethink what abundance and growth mean for you. Instead of chasing more, this retrograde asks you to define what truly makes you feel fulfilled.
This week can bring flashes of insight, especially about past conversations or relationships. It is a good time to rewrite your internal story rather than argue your external one.
November 16 to 22: Transformation from Within
Mercury retrogrades back into Scorpio on November 18 and meets the Sun around the time of the New Moon on November 20. This New Moon is about emotional cleansing and truth. It is not for manifesting but for deep self discovery.
The Scorpio New Moon encourages you to explore your inner world and let go of outdated attachments. If something no longer aligns with your authentic self, this is the time to release it quietly.
You may also notice truths or secrets being revealed during this week. Stay grounded and use discernment before reacting.
As the Sun enters Sagittarius on November 21, the energy begins to lift. After weeks of heavy introspection, Sagittarius season invites optimism, freedom and open mindedness.
November 23 to 30: Turning Forward
Saturn stations direct in Pisces on November 27, helping us apply the lessons learned during the retrogrades. Things may still move slowly, but now progress begins again. Use this time to set healthy emotional boundaries and make your dreams more structured.
Mercury stations direct in Scorpio on November 29, bringing mental clarity and smoother communication. The insights you gained during the retrograde can now be put into action.
Venus enters Sagittarius on November 30, lightening the mood. Love and relationships feel freer and more adventurous. Forgiveness becomes easier and you may feel more optimistic about the future.
Closing Thoughts
November can feel emotional and intense, but it is also cleansing. It helps you get honest about what matters and what needs to change. The retrogrades are not punishments, they are opportunities to pause and grow in awareness.
When the trees lose their leaves, they are not dying; they are resetting. You are doing the same. Use this month to rest, realign, and prepare your energy for the next chapter.
