November’s astrology brings a sigh of relief and the end of both Mercury and Venus retrogrades! The month starts out with the Sun finishing up its journey through Scorpio, putting you in a more introspective mood. The next few weeks help you dive deep, explore your own shadow side, and face fears with more grace all while reclaiming your power in the process.
It’s emotional work, but also rewarding. You might also navigate themes of reciprocity, intimacy, and security in various areas of your life, as well. The month begins with a sneak peek into 2027 thanks to Mars entering its pre-retrograde shadow period in Leo on November 5.
In January, Mars will go retrograde in the signs of both Leo and Virgo but, for now, you have the cosmic gift of picking up certain clues and topics regarding your personal retrograde story. Pay extra close attention to issues that frustrate you, where you’ve declined to act when maybe you should have, and how you expend your effort and energy. Some of these topics will resurface for retooling and reflection once the retrograde kicks off early next year.
A New Moon in Scorpio on November 8 helps you release control and spend time with the emotions you reject or ignore. You might brush up against feelings of guilt, shame, or fear in some way, but also recognize an opportunity to evolve, heal, be accountable, and show up in a renewed way. Bonds and connections navigate intimate waters, and require honesty and help you establish trust or leave unhealthy dynamics that don’t deserve your energy.
November 13 ushers in a massive turning point with both Mercury retrograde and Venus retrograde ending on the same day! Mercury stations direct in Scorpio, revealing truths and requiring you to navigate in the subterranean and unknown. Conversations you’ve avoided in the past require your full attention and honesty.
Decisions you make might feel a bit more high stakes, but choosing to embrace your fear and share your feelings can strengthen a bond, too. Venus stations direct in Libra and ends its retrograde, shining a spotlight on your close relationships. Should you stay or should you go—now is the time to make your decision!
