📅 Big Picture for November 2025
Here are some of the standout astrologic events this month:
Mercury goes retrograde from November 9 through November 29 (in Sagittarius and then Scorpio).
Mars moves into Sagittarius on November 4.
Venus enters Scorpio on November 6 (adding intensity to relationships, values, desires).
The month strongly features themes of deep transformation, rewiring of mindset and belief (thanks especially to Mercury retrograde) and a push to align with deeper value, rather than surface momentum.
Overall tone: It’s a month of inner recalibration more than external forward motion. Yes—progress is possible, but the path asks for review, reflection, recalibration, and letting go of old stories. Listen to your inner voice.
♈️ Aries (Mar 21-Apr 19)
What the energy asks of you:
With Mercury retrograde in your sector of beliefs and future vision, you’re being invited to revisit your long-term hopes and shake loose any old ambitions that no longer serve. Mars in Sagittarius fires up your inner pioneer—so you might feel restless to explore, to expand. But take time to refine the map before racing ahead.
Focus this month on:
Re-aligning your “why” rather than just chasing the “what.”
Listening deeply to what you want vs what you think you “should” want.
Holding space for internal rewrites of how you define success.
Affirmation:
“I open to new visions of possibility. I let go of the old map and trust the terrain I’m meant to explore.”
♉ Taurus (Apr 20-May 20)
What the energy asks of you:
The Full Moon in your sign earlier in the month (Taurus) may have brought a sense of self-recognition or culmination. The incoming Venus in Scorpio and Mercury retrograde invite you to turn inward: what parts of your self-worth or identity need a gentle realignment? What attachments to image or value are ripe for release?
Focus this month on:
Self-worth: How you value yourself—and how that shows up in your choices.
Deep healing of any blocks around “being enough.”
Creating a soothing container for your body and senses (your realm).
Affirmation:
“I am worthy of love and value simply by being. I release what no longer reflects my true worth.”
♊ Gemini (May 21-Jun 20)
What the energy asks of you:
With Mars entering Sagittarius, your intimacy and shared-resources zone may become active. Mercury retrograde activates your home/family/inner foundational zone. You’re invited to revisit patterns about trust, boundary, sharing — and restructure accordingly.
Focus this month on:
Clearing out old relational debts or emotional ties.
Reassessing what you share (money, emotions, energy) and what you keep private.
Strengthening your inner home: your sense of belonging, even before external ties.
Affirmation:
“I trust my inner sanctuary. I release what I cannot truly share, and I honor what I hold sacred.”
♋ Cancer (Jun 21-Jul 22)
What the energy asks of you:
Mercury retrograde and Venus in Scorpio fall into your communication & thinking zone. The work now is subtle but significant: review your beliefs, rethink how you articulate them, and deepen your conversations. Mars in Sagittarius brings impetus to your daily routines and health habits.
Focus this month on:
Tuning into your inner dialogue—are you supporting or sabotaging yourself?
Revising how you express what matters to you.
Taking action on small habits that help your body and mind feel aligned.
Affirmation:
“My words reflect my truth. My body carries my purpose. I integrate rhythm, clarity, and nourishment.”
♌ Leo (Jul 23-Aug 22)
What the energy asks of you:
The cosmic blend invites you to revisit your values, pleasure, and creativity (Venus in Scorpio) and to rethink your social/career identity (Mercury Rx). Mars in Sagittarius stirs your relational sphere. What you value deeply might require you to be seen differently.
Focus this month on:
Letting your creative voice shift and evolve—not just for “recognition,” but for authentically expressed joy.
Assessing your role in groups, public life, or your network—what identity fits now?
Re-balancing giving vs receiving in relationships.
Affirmation:
“I shine in alignment with my truest self. I repair what is out of tune and I step into my power with grace.”
♍ Virgo (Aug 23-Sep 22)
What the energy asks of you:
With Mars in Sagittarius, you may feel expansion in your material/financial realm and deeper soul work in your hidden/unconscious sector (Venus in Scorpio). Mercury retrograde invites you to examine values, intimacy, and what lies beneath the surface.
Focus this month on:
Deepening your sense of value—not only material, but spiritual, emotional.
Bringing illumination to what you keep hidden (fear, shadow, patterns).
Building security by integrating rather than suppressing.
Affirmation:
“My resources are many and varied. I claim safety in vulnerability. I grow from what was hidden.”
♎ Libra (Sep 23-Oct 22)
What the energy asks of you:
Mars in Sagittarius stirs your inner world, your solitude, and your psychological roots. Venus in Scorpio brings intensity to partnerships and values. Mercury retrograde asks you to revisit how you relate to other people and to your own comfort with being known.
Focus this month on:
What you need to feel secure — and how you ask for it.
Intimacy: not just closeness, but authenticity.
Reflection on roles in relationships: Are you giving enough of you or too much of someone else’s story?
Affirmation:
“I meet others from my center. I honor my needs and the truth of our connection. I am safe in authenticity.”
♏ Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 21)
What the energy asks of you:
This is your season, Scorpio. With Venus in your sign and the New Moon there (on Nov 20) you are being offered a fresh start. Mercury retrograde touches your sign/identity zone—inviting re-definition. Mars in Sagittarius might feel like stretching beyond your usual intensity into broader vision.
Focus this month on:
Re-inventing your identity or refining how you present yourself to the world.
Letting go of old stories of self that no longer serve your evolution.
Honoring your magnetism and using it with conscious power.
Affirmation:
“I emerge renewed. I claim my authentic power. I embody the truth of who I am.”
♐ Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21)
What the energy asks of you:
Happy birthday season! Mars in your sign brings drive, courage, expansion. But Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius (and then into Scorpio) invites you to slow down, review your direction, revisit dreams. It’s less about sprinting ahead and more about aligning first.
Focus this month on:
Asking what your next chapter holds—not simply what you want to do, but why.
Reviewing your message, your voice, your stories you tell yourself and others.
Making sure the action you take (Mars) matches your purpose, not just momentum.
Affirmation:
“I step into my power with awareness. I move from vision to action with clarity and heart.”
♑ Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan 19)
What the energy asks of you:
Mars in Sagittarius lights up your subconscious, spiritual, or hidden realms. Venus in Scorpio stirs your daily habits, services, health. Mercury retrograde asks you to revisit how you serve, how you heal, and how you channel your inner resources outward.
Focus this month on:
Tending your inner world: what needs quietly your attention.
Reassessing your daily structure: Does it serve the deeper you?
Bringing balance between work and restoration.
Affirmation:
“I nurture the unseen with dignity. My service is aligned from the inside out. I anchor in strength and softness.”
♒ Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 18)
What the energy asks of you:
Your social and collective realms are highlighted with Mars and Venus stirring transformation. Mercury retrograde asks you to rethink how you connect, what your network supports, and how your values align with community.
Focus this month on:
The quality of your tribe: who lifts you, who drains you?
What you believe about your collective role and how you show up.
Refining communal goals so they reflect your individual truth too.
Affirmation:
“I belong by being myself. My community is enriched by my presence. I refine connection with integrity.”
♓ Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20)
What the energy asks of you:
Mars in Sagittarius activates your career/mission sector. Venus in Scorpio touches your home/family values. Mercury retrograde asks you to revisit how you are seen in the world and what your role is. What legacy do you want to build?
Focus this month on:
Your long-term impact: career, contribution, purpose.
Aligning your home/foundation with your bigger mission.
Releasing patterns of invisibility or undervaluing your gifts.
Affirmation:
“My presence matters. I anchor my mission in my home, my heart, my world. I step into contribution with clarity.”
📝 Monthly Intentions & Tips
Journal prompt: “What old story of mine is ready to retire?”
Ritual suggestion: Use the New Moon (Nov 20 in Scorpio) to set an intention of transformation or rebirth.
Practical tip: With Mercury retrograde in play, resist launching brand-new major projects with no review; instead revise, refine, reconnect.
Mind-body reminder: This month may bring intensity (Venus in Scorpio, Mars in fire sign). Make space to ground: walks, breathwork, nature time.
