Saturday, NOVEMBER 1

The Moon spends the day in Pisces, encouraging us to connect with our inner world. We’re paying more attention to endings, past matters, and closing projects. The Moon’s alignment with the Moon’s North Node midday reminds us to embrace our compassion.

Venus heads toward an opposition with Chiron as the day progresses, and there can be disappointments as we focus on differences and weaknesses rather than our strong points in our interactions. This serves as a reminder of the importance of self-awareness in our decision-making process, a key theme of the day’s influences.

Temporarily, we’re less confident about our relationships, social life, worth, money, or social skills. We are more aware and possibly resentful of imbalances in our relationships and are insecure about whether our affections are reciprocated.

There can be some anxiety or troubles with matters concerned with feelings and preferences until we get in touch with our actual needs and wants. It’s important to watch for going along with things we wouldn’t normally do just because we’re not currently decisive.

Sunday, NOVEMBER 2

Venus forms a square to Jupiter, and there can be misjudgments or overblown expectations, especially regarding our feelings, pleasures, and desires.

This transit exaggerates things, leading us to overdo or overstate our feelings. However, if we keep this in check, it can be helpful for entertaining new ideas and approaches related to entertainment, money, and love.

The Sun’s sesquiquadrate with Saturn suggests some cautiousness in other areas of life. We could feel confined or restricted regarding our plans and self-expression until we work out the tension.

The Moon is void today from 10:15 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Neptune), until the Moon enters Aries at 10:39 AM EST.

Main Astrology Calendar

Monday, NOVEMBER 3

The Venus-Saturn quincunx this morning can make it difficult to see our responsibilities to others clearly, leading to either under- or overestimation. It’s not an ideal time to make decisions about value, money, or relationship matters.

However, as the day advances, we benefit from a Mars-Neptune trine, which opens us to alternative and possibly meandering paths. It’s good for feeling inspired, letting go of anger, and softening our dispositions. Creative arts, particularly physical ones, are in favor.

With this influence, it’s better to wind down or act on our visions, dreams, and compassion. We’re looking for meaning in our experiences and ready to believe we can make our dreams come true. It’s also a time to bring more imagination to what we do. We are not inclined to follow rigid rules, directions, or schedules; instead, we favor following our intuition, inner guidance, and gut feelings.

With Chiron and Vesta forming a trine, we might tackle working through complex problems. It’s a strong time to tap into our inner genius or personal potential and put it to work for us. We can be determined to take better care of ourselves, and discoveries made now can fuel or reignite our motivation to pursue a particular path.

Main Astrology Calendar

Tuesday, NOVEMBER 4

Mars enters Sagittarius today, and it opposes Uranus as Uranus is just days away from returning to the sign of Taurus for its last hurrah.

Mars will transit Sagittarius until December 15th. During this cycle, our actions are heavily motivated by our ideals. We are bothered by routine and quickly become restless when we feel confined. We have a stronger love of adventure and conquest — this is the position of wanderlust. We start projects or challenges enthusiastically, although we may abandon them quickly if they fail to hold our interest, perhaps if we’ve set our sights too high!

Mars in Sagittarius defends its principles and sometimes takes it personally when others disagree. We are spontaneous, direct, and passionate about our beliefs with Mars in Sagittarius. It’s a playful, fun-loving, and optimistic energy. We have strong morals and are champions of the truth.

Given the space to find our own way, we can move mountains. In fact, we enjoy stretching our limits. It’s an inspiring, forward-looking period when we follow our hearts and optimistic visions of the future.

Mars opposite Uranus today inclines us to act on impulses or take risks, possibly in a short-sighted way. We tend to challenge situations that make us feel restricted or people if they seem to be trying to hold us back.

Positively, this can be a time of increased courage to free ourselves from restrictive circumstances or push ourselves to break out of the routine and try new things. Confrontations may help clear the air.

However, we should watch for accidents, faux pas, and mistakes due to haste. Tempers can flare, and a tendency to take careless risks or jump into premature action is possible.

The Moon is void from 6:22 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (an opposition to Venus), until the Moon enters Taurus at 11:16 AM EST.

Main Astrology Calendar

Wednesday, NOVEMBER 5

A Full Moon occurs this morning, at 8:19 AM EST, in the sign of Taurus. Full Moons always pit opposite zodiac signs against each other and invite us to balance the opposing energies. The contrast between earthy, practical, peace-loving Taurus and emotional, transformative, crisis-oriented Scorpio comes in full bloom now.

It’s a passionate and creative Full Moon, ripe with possibilities and learning experiences. Intimate relationship matters, personal comfort levels, sexuality, and values figure prominently now. Our feelings about a lingering problem or issue can become very clear.

While there can be a tug-of-war between closeness and independence, we might find ways to interact that honor both needs. We may need to deal with distractions and feelings of discontent that can lead us along unexpected tangents.

The Full Moon in Taurus awakens us to our feelings or a new approach to enjoying ourselves. Surprises about money, valuables, belongings, and investments are likely now. This Full Moon harmonizes with the North Node, suggesting we can quickly connect with a sense of purpose in light of our revelations.

Main Astrology Calendar

The Moon is Full in Taurus on November 5th, 2025, at 8:19 AM EST.

Full Moon in Taurus Chart: November 5th, 2025

A Full Moon occurs when the Sun in Scorpio forms an opposition to the Moon in Taurus. The Full Moon is a time of culmination and the promise of fulfillment of that which was started at the New Moon. It is an emotional event – a time of romance, fertilization, and relationships.

Full Moons always pit opposite signs of the zodiac against each other. They also invite us to work to achieve a balance between the opposing energies.

With this lunation, the contrast between earthy, practical, peace-loving Taurus and emotional, transformative, crisis-oriented Scorpio comes full bloom. The Moon in Taurus wants us to find emotional fulfillment through the simple, tangible things in life, while the Scorpio Sun draws our attention to complexities, intangibles, and mysteries.

The Full Moon illuminates this conflict between form (Taurus) and transformation (Scorpio), and between collecting (Taurus) and sharing (Scorpio).

This is a passionate and creative Full Moon, ripe with possibilities and learning experiences. Intimate relationship matters, such as personal comfort levels and values and sexuality, figure prominently now.

Full Moon November 5th, 2025: Additional Points

This phase of the Moon occurs at 13 degrees and 23 minutes of Taurus, affecting people with personal planets and points at approximately 9 to 17 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) most significantly.

Thursday, NOVEMBER 6

Mars forms a sextile with Pluto this morning, boosting our ability — and tendency — to focus. Pursuing our goals and satisfying our desires under this influence feels natural—ambitions and determination increase. We’re becoming clear on what we want and making plans to pursue it.

We benefit from a patient and deliberate approach rather than pushing for immediate action, and our drive to succeed, excel, and control is stirring. We might throw ourselves wholeheartedly into a pursuit.

However, as the day advances, Venus and the Sun form minor challenging aspects with Neptune, and we may struggle with waning willpower or some lack of direction. It makes sense to consider ways to come to a better balance between our material and spiritual pursuits.

We might want to see things realistically on the one hand and prefer to nurture a fantasy or look the other way on the other.

Venus enters Scorpio today, where it will visit until the 30th. It’s a highly emotional and passionate position for Venus. This period promises intense and engaging experiences, as we seek projects, pleasures, and relationships that absorb or even consume us. While the fear of vulnerability or power struggles may heighten, we are adept at handling money and resources during this cycle. We are drawn to deeply engaging, dramatic pleasures, activities, projects, and art, making this a time of interesting and intense experiences. Profound, disturbing, mysterious, or unusual things can be more appealing now.

Before Venus leaves Libra today, it forms a quincunx with Neptune, and after changing signs, it forms a quincunx with Uranus. We might watch for impulsive spending, peculiar attractions, fear of commitment, and issues around freedom vs. intimacy.

The Moon is void from 9:51 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Neptune), until the Moon enters Gemini at 10:21 AM EST.

Main Astrology Calendar

Friday, NOVEMBER 7

Uranus, still retrograde, returns to the sign of Taurus today. After spending approximately seven years in the sign of Taurus, Uranus moved into Gemini on July 7th of this year. Its retrograde began on September 6th.

Today, Uranus returns to Taurus and will finish up its transit by April 25th, 2026, when it will visit Gemini consistently. Until April, we might return to redesign or make changes, possibly radical ones, in certain areas of our lives to gain some freedom or independence during this period.

Venus squares Pluto today, and our personal plans and ambitions can feel at odds, creating some tension. There can be obstacles to clear as we wrestle with our fears.

This transit can accentuate or stimulate our insecurities, bringing suspicions and jealousies to the surface. Jealous and possessive feelings are directly proportional to fear of losing something or someone. We can worry about betrayal or about being in the dark about a matter. Social interactions may be intense or could provoke intense feelings.

It can be exceedingly easy to trigger sensitive points, but what works us up can be very revealing to those on a self-discovery journey.

Main Astrology Calendar

Saturday, NOVEMBER 8

The Sun harmonizes with the Moon’s Nodes, encouraging us to aspire to our goals and to rise to challenges. It’s time to focus on the ways our independence or life-path goals reinforce us.

Mars harmonizes with Ceres today, also boosting our confidence. We feel supported and encouraged to assert ourselves or pursue our desires. It’s a good time to feel more secure and safe, and family or domestic activities are favored. We more readily support or defend others.

The Moon continues to transit Gemini until 10:07 AM EST, when it heads into Cancer. With the Cancer Moon, we seek comfort, familiarity, and a sense of belonging.

The Moon is void from 9:33 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Neptune), until the Moon enters Cancer at 10:07 AM EST.

Sunday, NOVEMBER 9

Mercury stations and turns retrograde today in the sign of Sagittarius, and it will continue its retrograde journey until the 29th. Some delays or information clogs are possible. During this cycle, our thinking turns inward as we review and reassess matters.

Mercury retrograde periods can be times of heightened inner awareness — times when meditation, journaling, reworking old plans, and reviewing past work are favored more than usual.

Minor breaks in the mechanical aspects of communication and transportation can reconnect us to other, possibly more meaningful, means of connecting.

This retrograde cycle is strong for reviewing our beliefs, ideas, sense of adventure, spirit, publishing pursuits, and educational goals. We look at projects, items, situations, problems, and even people in new ways. There can be information clogs that push this new perspective–as we wait, we become more resourceful and creative!

The more difficult times are the periods of the shifts themselves (the days surrounding the stations — today and November 29th), after which we grow more and more accustomed to the motion.

Also today, with Venus semi-sextile Mars, we might struggle with whether to take a direct or indirect approach to getting what we want. We may be better off recognizing that it doesn’t have to be one way or the other–a combination would be ideal, or else the see-sawing can be confusing to all.

Main Astrology Calendar

Mercury now turns retrograde at 6° Sagittarius 51′.

Mercury is retrograde from November 9th, 2025, at 6° Sagittarius 51′, until November 29th, 2025, at 20° Scorpio 42′

Mercury Retrograde Cycle from November 9 to 29, 2025:

Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius + Scorpio: November 9-29, 2025

• On October 21, 2025, Mercury enters the Retrograde Zone (pre-retrograde shadow) at 20° Scorpio 42′
• On November 9, 2025, Mercury stations and turns retrograde at 6° Sagittarius 51’Rx
• On November 29, 2025, Mercury stations and turns direct at 20° Scorpio 42’D

Mercury Retrograde

Mercury spends this retrograde cycle in the signs of Sagittarius and Scorpio.

Note that the shadow period begins before Mercury turns retrograde–when Mercury first passes over the degree that Mercury later returns to in retrograde motion. The shadow period ends when Mercury again passes over the degree at which it first turned retrograde.

The shadow period is different than Mercury’s storm period in astrology, which refers to the period when Mercury is moving especially slowly.

Mercury’s post-retrograde shadow is generally better for new long-term endeavors than the pre-retrograde shadow. For new enterprises in the pre-retrograde shadow, the venture’s secondary progressed Mercury will turn direction (retrograde) in the coming years which may not be ideal.

Also note that things are most wonky on the days of the stations whether Mercury is turning retrograde OR direct (the start and end date of the retrograde cycle) as the shifts occur, after which we grow more accustomed to the energy.

Mercury is retrograde approximately three times a year for approximately three weeks each time. As such, retrograde Mercury is a fairly common occurrence (Mercury is retrograde approximately 18% of the time).

As the planet of communication, Mercury retrograde tends to breed a certain level of confusion. Mercury rules our “lower” mind–how we perceive and interpret information that we receive from our environment, and how we relay that information to others. Mercury has rulership over such things as speaking, negotiating, buying and selling, listening, formal contracts, documents, travel, the mail and shipping, and so forth. All of these areas of life are affected when Mercury is functioning in a sluggish state. Decision-making is challenged during Mercury retrograde.

Needless to say, it is not advised to sign contracts, engage in important decision-making, or launch a new business. Delays and challenges are more probable with Mercury retrograde. It’s a time when being careless with money, our personal information, or paperwork can be costly.

While Mercury is retrograde, we may be rethinking a previous opinion or idea. Looking to the signs and houses it transits can give clues as to what we may be reconsidering.

There is absolutely a positive side to Mercury Retrograde. This period is best used for re-organizing and reflecting. We look at the world a little differently–through different filters–and can come up with some very important inner revelations. It may be difficult to communicate them under this influence, but not everything needs to be rationalized.

Mercury retrograde periods can be times of heightened inner awareness, when meditation, benefiting from keeping a journal, reworking old plans, and reviewing past work are favored. Mercury retrograde is powerful for studies, particularly for returning to old studies or for re-learning or refreshing knowledge in a subject already taken.

Minor breaks in the mechanical aspects of communication can actually reconnect us to other means of communication, such as when there is an unexpected power outage and we’re forced off the computer and television, finding different and often satisfying ways to entertain ourselves.

It is important to note that there is absolutely no reason to suspend projects or anything of the sort during the Mercury Retrograde cycle. It’s not an ideal time to start new ones or to sign contracts, simply because a change of mind is quite likely once Mercury turns direct. However, it’s a fabulous time to do some “outside of the box” thinking. Acting on our ideas, however, might be best left for a Mercury Direct period.

Pay close attention to what you say and communicate in general, particularly around the days of Mercury’s stations (in this case, November 9th and 29th), as well as around retrograde Mercury’s conjunction to the Sun (called the “inferior conjunction“) on November 20th, 2025, at 28 degrees Scorpio (midway between the start and end of the retro period).

If you are itching to make a point with someone, especially, or if you are planning on “signing on the dotted line,” try to hold off. It is likely that you will have a change of mind once the station passes, and you can do some damage in the meantime. When a planet stations, its energies are very strong in our lives.

When Mercury stations, communications have more impact, so that negative ones could have long-term implications at this time. However, if you are very clear within yourself and about what you are communicating, this can be a positive thing.

With Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius:

Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius implies communication snafus revolving around communication and transportation, in particular. While Mercury is retrograde in Sagittarius, we look at past decisions and ideas from a new, possibly enlightened perspective. Reconsidering a long-term dream or vision of our future is a potential.

It’s a strong period for returning to an old study, writing project, or personal interest. It can be a time of scattered thoughts and mental disarray, however. The tactlessness of Mercury in Sagittarius magnifies, making it necessary to be especially careful with our choice of topics and wording. The chances of misinterpretation, slipshod thinking or work, and missing deadlines or appointments run higher than usual, even more so than with other Mercury retrograde cycles.

We may be returning to past projects and refining or tweaking them. We can find usefulness in old or past ideas and recycle them in new ways. We might consider renewing old studies, topics, projects, or interests and returning to places or diversions of the past.

Retrograde Mercury aligns with the Sun in Scorpio on November 20th, bringing illumination to our thoughts. It’s a favorable time for processing recent events and ideas, and for beginning to look at problems or issues from a new perspective and with a new understanding. Significant new ideas can be birthed at this time.

We might look at past decisions and ideas from a new, possibly enlightened perspective, and find usefulness in old or past ideas and recycling them in new ways.

Monday, NOVEMBER 10

The Moon continues its transit of Cancer until 12:34 PM EST, when it heads into Leo. The Cancer Moon is sensitive, cautious, protective, traditional, and receptive. We’re especially generous with our care and time today, and we come alive in our circle. There can be multiple possible avenues for satisfying self-expression today. We thrive in familiar settings and activities.

While the Cancer Moon encourages us to center ourselves and let go of overthinking, the Leo Moon from 12:34 PM forward is more interactive and expressive. The Moon’s opposition to Pluto can be confrontational and challenging, but it may also help us understand our needs, perhaps in a convoluted way. There can be some intensity in our personal relationships, or we may be dealing with inner turmoil.

By this evening, with the Moon’s trine to Mars, we’re connecting with our initiative.

The Moon is void today from 12:23 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Uranus), until the Moon enters Leo at 12:34 PM EST.

Main Astrology Calendar

Tuesday, NOVEMBER 11

The Moon is in joyful Leo all day, and we’re happy to share ourselves with others in heartfelt ways. We’re generally confident and prepared to take on whatever comes our way.

A creative aspect between the Sun and Pluto points to gaining an advantage or edge through design, problem-solving, and a willingness to challenge ourselves today. We’re ready to put in the effort and extra work to pursue our desires.

Jupiter stations and turns retrograde today in the sign of Cancer, and will remain retrograde until March 10th, 2026. Slowing down projects or plans may be appropriate to gain perspective. Initially, our enthusiasm and confidence might wane during this retrograde cycle, and we may experience a crisis of faith or hope.

“Luck” may be less overt during this period from November 11th to March 10th, but it’s a good time for looking within and reassessing recent goals. Recognizing areas of excess or extravagance can help us. We may need to slow down specific endeavors if they’ve been moving too quickly, or this happens organically. Note that Jupiter spends its full retrograde in the sign of Cancer.

Retrograde Mercury forms a semi-sextile to Venus tonight, and our words may not reflect what’s in our hearts. As we strive to get the words just right, we risk falling short in terms of sensitivity.

This transit subtly contrasts a logical and playful approach. While we may not be especially focused, we’re adaptable and making an effort to understand one another.

Main Astrology Calendar

Jupiter stations and turns retrograde today.

While Jupiter is retrograde, we tend to re-think our goals and plans in the areas of life affected by Jupiter’s transit. It’s a time of questioning what we thought we already knew and developing a new perspective on events and beliefs.

Recognizing areas of excess or extravagance can help us. We may need to slow down specific endeavors if they’ve been moving too quickly, or this happens organically. Some enthusiasm may wane as certain realities of time and energy set in.

Wednesday, NOVEMBER 12

Early today, the Third Quarter Moon occurs with the Leo Moon’s square to the Sun, signaling a time to review and sort rather than push something new.

Until after the New Moon on November 20th, it’s a better time to tie up loose ends, take inventory, and let go if necessary. We might consider our recent revelations, what they mean to us, and what we might do next.

Retrograde Mercury aligns with Mars today, and a problem from the past can re-emerge. We can feel driven to take care of it, although it can be challenging to stay centered. We should watch for impatience, snappiness, and impulsive moves and words.

This conjunction is suitable for motivated, energetic work, particularly related to communications and the mind. We may want to get right to the point, so that communications may be insensitive. With Mercury retrograde, we might renew interest in handling an old problem or reviving a past project. This can be a time of racing minds and excited thoughts.

Keeping busy and making headway satisfies us more than usual today. It will be especially important to channel excess mental energy constructively.

The Moon is void from 6:30 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Uranus), until the Moon enters Virgo at 6:53 PM EST.

Main Astrology Calendar

Thursday, NOVEMBER 13

The Moon spends the day in the sign of Virgo, urging us to tie up loose ends and deal with routine matters. This Moon transit encourages our attention to the details of our daily lives — we want to bring more order to our world.

The Moon’s squares to Mercury and Mars in the morning can feel tense — we might struggle to find our center as we worry about what we aren’t doing. However, we might settle into a comfortable routine once we’ve put overthinking behind us. We’re embracing ways to blend, balance, and cooperate.

Main Astrology Calendar

Friday, NOVEMBER 14

The Moon’s stay in Virgo all day suggests we’re gunning for clarity, and we’re inclined to tidy up and pay more attention to detail. We’re well-positioned to organize, help others, and manage our everyday affairs. Our work ethic is strong now, and we understand what most needs our attention.

The Virgo Moon, especially its opposition to Saturn this evening, reminds us of the practical details of our lives. Ideally, we slow down just enough to pace ourselves.

Venus forms a sesquiquadrate with Saturn today, and there can be anxiety or trouble with matters related to feelings and affections until we get in touch with our true needs and wants.

Main Astrology Calendar

Saturday, NOVEMBER 15

The Sun is quincunx Chiron today, and we’re not allowing ourselves to shine fully. Questioning our effectiveness can subtly undermine our confidence. We may doubt our inner guide and face situations that seem to test our vulnerabilities.

Some indecision is possible, and self-expression can be choppy and unnatural in spots. We can also experience guilt about not dealing with problems head-on.

However, our attempts to manage doubt and guilt today can help clear the path for opportunities later.

The Moon continues its transit of detail-oriented Virgo until 4:45 AM EST, when it heads into gracious Libra. The Libra Moon’s harmony with Pluto, Mercury, and Mars today suggests we’re especially aware of our social skills and need for more effective communication. We’re determined and ready to make long-lasting changes. We might also gather information and do some research.

The Moon is void from 4:09 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Uranus), until the Moon enters Libra at 4:45 AM EST.

Main Astrology Calendar

Sunday, NOVEMBER 16

This morning, a minor square between Mars and Chiron suggests we can be touchy and quick to feel offended or overwhelmed. We can find it difficult to express our anger or desires in a direct, straightforward manner under this influence.

Fear of being ineffective can undermine our confidence when it comes to doing new things.

The Libra Moon does help with objectivity, although not with over-sensitivity.

However, as the day advances, the Sun approaches trines to Jupiter and Saturn, helping both inspire and ground us. We are practical, realistic, and our judgment is especially sound, and we derive much satisfaction from practical accomplishment. It’s easy to identify and find pleasure in the simple things that make us happy.

It’s also a very good time to make refinements to in-progress plans. We more readily draw upon self-discipline, especially if it will help advance our goals. We can enjoy a real sense of strength and pride in our ability to meet our responsibilities.

These trines occur in Water signs, and we can feel particularly empowered in managing emotional matters in practical, helpful ways. Enthusiasm runs high, and cooperation comes easily.

Main Astrology Calendar

Monday, NOVEMBER 17

Retrograde Mercury forms a sextile with Pluto today, improving our ability to see multitudes of layers of a situation, and we might return to a matter from the past to apply our insights. We might discover further information that gives us an edge or finally “see” the truth of a matter we’ve avoided.

It’s a powerful time to look more deeply into a topic. We benefit from being patient and strategic in our decision-making and from looking beyond the surface. Conversations are probing, investigative, and meaningful, and we may gain a deeper psychological understanding of our lives. It’s a good time to let go of something that has kept us bound or stuck in a difficult position.

The Moon continues its transit of Libra until 4:45 PM EST, when it heads into Scorpio. The Scorpio Moon is observant, perceptive, and passionate.

The Moon is void today from 6:52 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Jupiter), until the Moon enters Scorpio at 4:45 PM EST.

Main Astrology Calendar

Tuesday, NOVEMBER 18

This morning, there is some tendency to want to get started before we have a good plan, as Mars and Jupiter form a minor square. This aspect excites our desire to do something new and produces some agitation and competitive feelings that can either distract us or spur us to improve. Enthusiasm and motivation can be incredible if we know where to channel excess energy.

Still, overconfidence and overestimation of what we can do may lead to poor decisions or regrettable actions. We can also be rather argumentative and reactive with this combination.

As well, a Venus-Neptune minor square this morning may seduce us into believing things we want to believe. While glossing over the more realistic points, details, and flaws of circumstances and people might feel good at the moment, it’s best to hold off on making important purchases or relationship decisions until the veil lifts.

Mercury, still retrograde, returns to Scorpio today, where it will spend for the remainder of Mercury’s retrograde (to the 29th) and beyond. While Mercury is retrograde in the sign of Scorpio, it’s a strong time to get in touch with our instincts, motivations, and “dark” side. Now is the time to explore our more intimate and emotional natures and how these affect our decision-making processes. Increased sensitivity in our emotional “radar” is likely.

We should watch that we don’t get into a paranoid frame of mind, or read too much negativity into what others say. Retrograde Mercury periods tend to send us to the past for more or previously hidden information, and while in Scorpio, this is especially the case.

When Mercury is in Scorpio in general, our thoughts and communications are more probing and intense. Looking for motivations–the more deeply buried, the better–satisfies an intellectual need now. Our thoughts are profound. We throw away superficial communication in favor of deep conversations. Our thinking is inclined to be one-track-minded, focused, and even obsessive in the weeks ahead.

Main Astrology Calendar

Wednesday, NOVEMBER 19

This morning, Mercury opposes Uranus and forms a trine with Neptune, and while our intuitive feelers are at work, and we’re receptive to alternative ideas, it can be difficult to bring our ideas down to earth. It’s a time of original, imaginative, inspired, and idealistic thinking.

We can be quite sensitive, but we might also rebel against the usual or commonplace in communication and ideas.

Our curiosity and intuition can work so hard that it’s challenging to stick to ordinary routines. People and schedules can be unreliable right now. This can be a time of mental tension, controversy, miscommunication, or changes of mind or plans, and resistance to ideas.

Friction stimulated now can challenge us to learn more about our minds and opinions. Epiphanies and unusual insights are possible.

However, Venus harmonizes with the Moon’s Nodes today, and we are more dedicated than usual to creating harmony. We make an extra effort to be agreeable and cooperative, which helps us reach our goals. We could feel lucky in love or business, and we might make a fortunate connection.

A New Moon will occur early tomorrow, and it’s best not to begin something entirely new today. Instead, winding down is best.

Main Astrology Calendar

Thursday, NOVEMBER 20

The inferior conjunction of Mercury and the Sun occurs this morning, giving us a unique window into the past as it might impact our future. This is a good time for processing recent events and ideas and beginning to look at problems or issues from a new perspective and with a new understanding, mainly related to shared resources, intimate relationships, and indebtedness.

Significant new ideas are born at this time, and they’re likely to have real staying power or importance in our lives. What we say or write now has an impact, for better or for worse.

However, we may not have all the facts necessary to come to a solid conclusion, and we might later have to revise plans or decisions.

As well, the New Moon in Scorpio occurs at 1:47 AM EST, prompting a new beginning. In the weeks ahead, we may be working on our self-mastery skills. It’s a fine time to pinpoint the things in our lives that make us feel out of control, such as addictions and debts, and work toward release from these emotional burdens.

We may be able to rid ourselves of excess “junk” in our lives, material or spiritual. We may be moved to dig deeper into the mysteries around us rather than remain content with the status quo. Taking the time to understand others’ motives can enrich our feelings of intimacy. We could use this cycle to develop a particular project or relationship to add purpose and depth to our lives.

It can also be a time to seek ways to release our fear of confrontations and heavy emotional situations. We’re discovering that although they may be uncomfortable, these situations can lead us toward psychological healing.

The New Moon tightly aligns with retrograde Mercury, and it’s hard to see our path, but our discomfort with the past can be very real now, motivating new beginnings. With this lunation’s opposition to Uranus, we should watch for prematurity and abrupt changes or rebellion.

However, it can be a courageous, proactive time. The desire to change and improve our lives is intense.

This New Moon engages with many planets and major bodies, also drawing in the support of Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto.

Also today, Uranus and Neptune form an exact sextile, This is the first of five in this set. As with many outer-planet transits, this aspect repeats multiple times over the course of many months.

During the period influenced by this outer-planet transit with its longer-term effects, we’re seeking (and finding) illumination. It’s a time of more openness to alternative ways of living, believing, and expression. We’re receptive to different or unusual experiences and ideas.

At the same time, we’re averse to any form of force-feeding spirituality or belief systems, preferring our freedom to follow our intuition. It’s time to reform and update how we express compassion, care for the underprivileged, pursue our dreams, seek escape, and engage in art and creativity. However, we can also be more sensitive to stimulants.

New Moon in Scorpio Chart: November 20th, 2025

This phase of the Moon occurs at 28 degrees and 12 minutes of Scorpio. This New Moon is wonderfully supported as it harmonizes with Pluto, Saturn, Neptune, and Jupiter, but it also tightly aligns with retrograde Mercury (partile) and opposes Uranus.

In the sign of Scorpio, matters related to intimacy, control, power, money, and sharing will be a strong focus in the period ahead of this New Moon. New beginnings or fresh starts are possible in these areas.

The New Moon in Scorpio marks the beginning of a cycle, presenting an opportune time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Scorpion–passionate, resourceful, focused, probing, deep, and perceptive.

Scorpio New Moon cycles favor working on our self-mastery skills. We may want to pinpoint those things that make us feel out of control, such as addictions and debts, and work on freeing ourselves of these emotional burdens.

This New Moon cycle is also opportune for exploring what is missing in our lives that leads us to engage in these self-destructive behaviors.

There can be an opportunity to rid ourselves of “junk” in our lives–material and spiritual. With this potent Scorpio energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives.

Each sign teaches us valuable things, and one of Scorpio’s “lessons” involves learning to dig deeper into the mysteries around us instead of always being content with the status quo. Taking the time to understand others’ motives can enrich our feelings of intimacy, forgiveness, and meaning.

Scorpio also teaches us that dedication to one meaningful relationship or undertaking can be significantly more satisfying than spreading ourselves around. Here, “quality over quantity” applies.

We might want to use this cycle to focus on and develop one special project or relationship to help add purposefulness and depth to our lives.

It can also be a time to seek ways to release our fear of confrontations and heavy emotional situations. We’re discovering that although they may be uncomfortable, these situations can lead us toward psychological healing.

We can easily drum up support from others and motivation from within to accomplish our goals.

The New Moon tightly aligns with retrograde Mercury, and it’s hard to see our path, but our discomfort with the past can be very real now, motivating new beginnings. With its opposition to Uranus, we should watch for prematurity and abrupt changes or rebellion. However, it can be a courageous, proactive time. The desire to change and improve our lives is strong. This New Moon engages with many planets and major bodies, also drawing in the support of Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto.

New Moon in Scorpio 2025 ( Additional Points)

Uranus sextile Neptune

Uranus, at 29° Taurus 29′, forms a sextile with Neptune, at 29° Pisces 29′ on November 20th, 2025. This is the second of five in this set (as with many outer-planet transits, this aspect repeats multiple times over the course of many months).

When Uranus and Neptune connect, we want to shake up the status quo. We can be visionary and inspired.

With Uranus forming a sextile to Neptune, we’re seeking (and finding) illumination. It’s a time of more openness to alternative ways of living, believing, and expression. We’re receptive to different or unusual experiences and ideas.

At the same time, we’re averse to any form of force-feeding spirituality or belief systems, preferring our freedom to follow our intuition. It’s a time to reform and update how we express compassion, care for the underprivileged, pursue our dreams, seek escapes, and do art and creativity. However, we can also be more sensitive to stimulants.

Note that this aspect occurs very infrequently, and when it does, it usually occurs in sets of three or more due to retrograde motion. For example, it occurred in 1966-1968, first forming exactly in September 1966, then again in January 1967, July 1967, April 1968, and May 1968.

In 2025-2027, Uranus forms a sextile to Neptune in August 2025, November 2025, July 2026, January 2027, and finally, June 2027. Effectively, it’s in play from August 2025 to June 2027.
