November Cosmic Calendar

 

November 2nd: Venus opposite Chiron ~ 1:37am EST // Venus square Jupiter ~ 6:16pm EST
On Sunday, November 2nd, Venus makes two major transits. The first occurs at 1:37am EST, as Venus forms an opposition with Chiron. This aspect brings relationships into focus and offers an opportunity to heal and grow, both through and from challenging dynamics. We’re encouraged to be vulnerable in our close connections and to share what’s truly on our minds and hearts. While this transit can stir frustration or sadness around our interactions with others, it’s worth reflecting on whether those feelings stem from the present moment or from old wounds still reverberating within us.

Later in the day, at 6:16pm EST, Venus squares Jupiter. This transit carries a warm, sociable, and exuberant energy. You may feel drawn to indulge through spending more, seeking attention, or reaching for something grander and more exciting. Ambitions and desires may expand, fueling creativity and artistic inspiration. This is a buoyant and expressive influence that invites us to enjoy life’s pleasures, but with a touch of mindfulness and balance.

November 3rd: Mars trine Neptune ~ 10:59pm EST
On Monday, November 3rd, Mars forms a trine with Neptune at 10:59pm EST. This transit has been building over the weekend and will be felt through midweek. This brings a gentle yet motivating influence that perfectly captures the idea of inspired action. Neptune represents intuition and imagination, while Mars brings boldness and drive. Together, they harmonize to spark meaningful insight and guide us toward decisions and actions that feel divinely aligned.

You may feel called to follow a creative vision or take steps toward something that feels spiritually or emotionally fulfilling. This transit also heightens empathy and compassion, as Neptune softens Mars’s edges and dissolves barriers between ourselves and others. The effect may feel especially potent today, with both planets at the 29th degree of their respective signs. The 29th degree is also called the anaretic point, and that amplifies their energy and urgency for change.

November 4th: Mars enters Sagittarius ~ 8:01am EST // Mars opposite Uranus ~ 12:30pm EST
On Tuesday, November 4th, Mars enters Sagittarius at 8:01am EST, where it will remain until December 15th. Mars in Sagittarius is curious, adventurous, and restless. This is a wonderful time to shake up routines, give yourself room to explore, and seek inspiration through new experiences. Even if travel isn’t possible right now, you can still satisfy this energy by visiting a new park, trying a different restaurant, or exploring an unfamiliar trail. Any excuse for adventure fits perfectly under this influence.

With Mars in Sagittarius, it can be harder to sit still or stay confined to one place for too long. Boredom and distraction may come more easily, so keep life interesting and dynamic. Those with natal Mars in Aries, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, or Aquarius will likely thrive under this transit, feeling an overall boost in energy and enthusiasm. For those with Mars in Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio, or Capricorn, this period may feel more neutral or steady. If your natal Mars is in Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces, you may need extra rest and downtime during these five to six weeks.

Later in the day, at 12:30pm EST, Mars moves into an opposition with Uranus in Gemini. This transit carries rebellious, volatile energy that can stir up sudden changes, conflicts, or disruptions. While it can be quarrelsome or chaotic, it also brings the courage and momentum needed to challenge limitations and demand change. The atmosphere is restless, impulsive, and highly charged, so frustrations with control or restriction may surface easily. Channel this energy productively toward innovation or advocacy, and move mindfully, as this transit can increase the likelihood of accidents when people act without thinking ahead.

November 5th: Full Moon in Taurus ~ 8:19am EST
On Wednesday, November 5th, the Full Moon in Taurus perfects at 8:19am EST. This lunation occurs at 13 degrees of Taurus, opposite the Sun at 13 degrees Scorpio. The Taurus Full Moon invites us to manifest shifts around finances, material stability, and personal values. It's time to focus on what we can control, be it our surroundings, our routines, or the tangible world before us.

However, this lunation isn’t without its magic. Taurus reminds us that the sacred lives in the simple and the sensory, in the texture of the present moment. You may feel called to assess your possessions, release what no longer serves you, and take pleasure in what you love. Enjoying art, music, food, or nature feels especially fulfilling now. Listen to a favorite album, visit a museum, see a beautiful film, or cook something comforting at home.

Slow down and savor what’s around you. Ground yourself in beauty and trust the steady rhythm of growth. This Full Moon falls in the second decan of Taurus, ruled by Mercury, lending clarity, discernment, and insight. It’s an ideal time for problem-solving, writing, and using words with intention and care.

November 6th: Venus enters Scorpio ~ 5:39pm EST
On Thursday, November 6th, Venus enters Scorpio at 5:39pm EST, where it will remain until November 30th. Venus in Scorpio is passionate, magnetic, and deeply feeling. This transit invites us to crave intimacy and authenticity in our connections. Over the next few weeks, focus on quality over quantity in your relationships. Choose depth over breadth and cherish those you can truly be yourself around. After the light, social energy of Venus in Libra, this shift asks for sincerity, emotional honesty, and meaningful bonds.

This energy also lends itself beautifully to art, creativity, and focus. You may find it easier to lose yourself in an artistic project or channel emotion into something you’re building, painting, writing, or dreaming.

Those with natal Venus in Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, or Pisces tend to thrive under this influence, finding it supportive for romance, friendship, and creative inspiration. It’s more neutral for Venus in Aries, Gemini, Libra, and Sagittarius, neither particularly challenging nor especially energizing. For those with Venus in Taurus, Leo, or Aquarius, this period may bring tension between a desire for freedom and a call for emotional depth. You may need to balance your instinct to multitask with the Scorpio pull toward full presence and commitment.

November 7th: Uranus re-enters Taurus ~ 9:21pm EST // Venus square Pluto ~ 10:43pm EST
On Friday, November 7th, Uranus retrogrades back into Taurus at 9:21pm EST, where it will remain until April. This marks the final five months of Uranus in Taurus for the next 84 years, likely the last time any of us will experience this transit in our lifetime. Uranus first entered Taurus in 2018, so this period represents the closing chapter of a cycle that began then.

Uranus in Taurus has disrupted social values, financial systems, and our collective sense of material security. While its effects are largely generational, we each feel its ripples personally, particularly in how we relate to money, comfort, and stability. These next few months offer an opportunity to break free from stagnant habits, cultivate financial independence, and embrace unconventional approaches to security and self-worth.

The last time Uranus moved through Taurus was during the Great Depression and Dust Bowl era. This was a time that also brought reforms such as the New Deal, the implementation of Social Security, and new banking regulations. Similarly, we may continue to see major shifts in global economics and rising demands for equity and reform in the months ahead.

Later in the day, at 10:43pm EST, Venus forms a square to Pluto, intensifying emotions in relationships. Feelings of jealousy, control, or obsession may surface as we crave deeper connection or power over outcomes. This transit can make relationship dynamics feel all-consuming. Matters of the heart may take on a sense of urgency or gravity. The most constructive way to channel this energy is through creativity and self-expression. Artistic work created under this influence can be especially powerful, passionate, and transformative.

November 8th: Sun trine North Node ~ 7:34am EST 
On Saturday, November 8th, the Sun forms a trine to the North Node at 7:34am EST, a transit that colors the entire day. This is a hopeful, forward-looking influence that encourages courage and growth. You may feel more willing to take a leap of faith or step into a new chapter of life. A door may open now, but it’s up to you to walk through it and see what’s waiting on the other side.

While comfort zones can feel tempting, this energy invites movement and change. Ask yourself: where have I been standing still? What’s ready to evolve? This aspect can bring clarity around long-term goals or even reconnect you with your deeper sense of purpose and calling.

Today also marks the final day before Mercury turns retrograde, making it a good time to wrap up logistical details. Back up your devices, have important conversations, and finalize plans, bookings, or documents now. You’ll likely save yourself some headaches once Mercury begins its retrograde motion tomorrow.

November 9th: Mercury Rx begins ~ 2:01pm EST
On Sunday, November 9th, Mercury stations retrograde at 2:01pm EST. The retrograde begins at 6 degrees Sagittarius and will carry Mercury back into Scorpio before it ends on November 29th. This cycle has two distinct phases, each with a different tone.

The first phase, from November 9th to November 18th, takes place in Sagittarius. This period tends to affect movement, travel, and communication on a broad scale. Expect potential detours, delays, and mix-ups, whether that’s construction traffic on your route, missed connections, or shifting travel plans. Flights may be delayed or canceled, hotels may lose reservations, and schedules may need flexibility. The best approach: double-check itineraries, confirm details, and give yourself extra time to get where you’re going.

The second phase, from November 18th through November 29th, unfolds in Scorpio and will shift the focus to emotional communication and deeper understanding in relationships. We’ll explore that energy more when we reach the 18th.

If you have significant placements (Sun, Moon, Rising, or Mercury) in Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Pisces, you’ll likely feel the effects of this first stage more strongly.

November 11th: Jupiter Rx begins ~ 11:41am EST
On Tuesday, November 11th, Jupiter stations retrograde at 11:41am EST, beginning a period that lasts until March. Jupiter spends about four months each year in retrograde motion, so this is an energy we’re all fairly accustomed to. During this time, it’s helpful to re-evaluate your beliefs, values, and guiding philosophies, and to make adjustments in your ambitions or long-term goals. Listen to your intuition and avoid rushing into big decisions. You can absolutely take bold steps forward, but do so with care and intention, making sure you’re aligned with the direction you truly want to go.

Since Jupiter is currently moving through Cancer, these themes are likely to focus on family, home, nostalgia, and the past. This can be a meaningful time to simplify where life has become too busy or emotionally cluttered, especially in matters of home and family.

November 12th: Mercury conjunct Mars ~ 6:15pm EST
On Wednesday, November 12th, Mercury aligns with Mars in Sagittarius at 6:15pm EST. This energy builds throughout the day, bringing a lively, quick-witted tone to our interactions. This is a sharp, mental aspect that helps us cut through confusion, keep conversations moving, and think on our feet. You may notice a stronger connection between mind and body, with your thoughts translating more directly into action. This is a dynamic and mostly pleasant transit, though with Mercury currently retrograde, there may be a need to revisit or finally complete a project that’s been lingering.

There are no major transits again until Monday the 17th, so enjoy this stretch of quieter skies. I’ll see you all then! I’m available for readings during this time... more information is in my story highlights or at the link in my bio.

November 17th: Sun trine Jupiter ~ 12:07am EST // Sun trine Saturn ~ 3:55am EST // Mercury sextile Pluto ~ 3:35pm EST
After a few quiet days in the cosmos, we’re back with an action-packed week ahead! On Monday, November 17th, the Sun trines Jupiter at 12:07am EST, kicking off the first of three transits today. This is a bright and optimistic aspect that can boost enthusiasm, confidence, and the desire to express ourselves openly.

The next transit arrives at 3:55am EST, as the Sun trines Saturn. This one grounds us and helps channel focus into something tangible and productive. Together, the Jupiter and Saturn trines strike a beautiful balance, allowing us to dream big while staying practical enough to build something real. Sun trine Saturn supports diligence, organization, and clear, steady progress.

Finally, Mercury sextiles Pluto at 3:35pm EST. With Mercury still retrograde, this transit encourages us to review past work, notice inconsistencies, and refine what needs attention. It is an excellent influence for editing, research, or uncovering hidden details. Pluto helps us look beneath the surface and discover what we might have missed before.

This is also the final day of Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius. It moves back into Scorpio tomorrow, shifting the flow of mental energy in a noticeable way.

November 18th: Mercury re-enters Scorpio ~ 10:20pm EST
On Tuesday, November 18th, Mercury retrogrades back into Scorpio at 10:20pm EST, where it will remain for the rest of its retrograde cycle, ending on November 29th. While the previous phase of Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius may have stirred up issues around travel, scheduling, and movement, this next phase turns our focus inward, toward communication and understanding within close relationships.

During this time, it may be easier to misread others or have your own words misunderstood. Assumptions can form quickly, sometimes based on perceptions that feel true but aren’t grounded in fact. Clarity, honesty, and openness are essential. Try not to withhold information or jump to conclusions. If miscommunication does arise, emotional reactions can amplify confusion, so take extra care with your tone and timing.

Communicating in writing or text can be helpful now, offering a clearer record and reducing room for misinterpretation. Those with significant placements (Sun, Moon, Rising, Mercury) in Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or Aquarius may feel this shift more strongly than others.

November 19th: Venus trine North Node ~ 4:53am EST // Mercury opposite Uranus ~ 6:44am EST // Mercury trine Neptune ~ 7:21am EST
On Wednesday, November 19th, our busy week continues with three major transits unfolding throughout the day.

Venus trines the North Node of the Moon at 4:53am EST, offering a boost to relationships and connections. This aspect can draw new and meaningful people into our lives, those who act as catalysts for growth or change. You might feel guided to go somewhere or reach out to someone and find that a chance encounter leads to something significant. Even brief interactions can carry messages that gently (or not so gently) redirect your path in a positive way. This energy also supports new creative inspiration and vision.

Later, Mercury opposes Uranus at 6:44am EST, bringing a surge of mental energy, innovation, and unpredictability. This is a mischievous, trickster-like aspect that can shake things up, especially with Mercury currently retrograde. Expect surprises, flashes of insight, or disruptions that shift your perspective.

Finally, Mercury forms a trine to Neptune at 7:21am EST, softening the edges of the day with compassion, imagination, and emotional understanding. It can help dissolve barriers between yourself and others, opening space for empathy and deeper connection.

The New Moon in Scorpio builds overnight, and its energy can be felt all day. It is mystical, transformative, and deeply intuitive. This lunation heightens spiritual awareness and may bring vivid dreams, sudden realizations, or an undeniable sense of connection to the unseen world.

November 20th: New Moon in Scorpio ~ 1:47am EST // Sun conjunct Mercury ~ 4:23am EST // Uranus sextile Neptune ~ 9:39am EST
On Thursday, November 20th, the New Moon in Scorpio perfects at 1:47am EST. This lunation is especially active, forming several aspects to other planets. The Sun/Moon conjunction at 28 degrees Scorpio conjuncts Mercury, trines Saturn and Neptune, and opposes Uranus. The result is an intense and somewhat overwhelming energy, like being pulled into a vortex of emotion and change. You may feel drawn to stillness, quiet, or solitude as a way to process and ground.

The New Moon in Scorpio is always a time of deep transformation. It invites honesty, emotional courage, and the willingness to face what’s been buried. This energy can help us confront fears, release grief, and transmute heavy or stagnant emotions within the body. It assists with renewal and reclaiming your inner strength.

Later in the morning, the Sun conjuncts Mercury at 4:23am EST, creating a bright portal of insight and clarity amid the darkness. Sudden realizations or inspired ideas may arise, fleeting but potent. Jot them down or share them with someone before they slip away.

At 9:39am EST, we experience one of the most significant transits of the month as Uranus sextiles Neptune. This aspect first occurred at the end of August, and with both planets retrograding, it returns now for another wave of collective awakening. Uranus and Neptune together spark innovation, change, and visionary thinking.

This transit will repeat three more times before completing, with the next alignment in July. The last Uranus/Neptune sextile occurred between 1966 and 1968, a time of cultural revolution, shifting power structures, and the rise of new social ideals. Though the planets are in different signs now, we may see echoes of those themes in the form of movements of empowerment, rebellion, and the amplification of alternative voices. This energy supports compassion, collective progress, and advocacy for those without privilege or access. Yet, as with all Uranian energy, change often comes through disruption first.

November 21st: Sun opposite Uranus ~ 7:25am EST // Sun trine Neptune ~ 8:05am EST // Sun enters Sagittarius ~ 8:35pm EST
This week has been a lot... and it’s not over yet! On Friday, November 21st, we have three major solar transits lighting up the skies.

The first arrives at 7:25am EST, when the Sun opposes Uranus. This aspect can bring surprises or sudden changes in plans. You may notice rebellious energy around you, or feel a personal urge to break free from routine and do something spontaneous.

At 8:05am EST, the Sun trines Neptune, softening the atmosphere and inviting creativity, compassion, and spiritual connection. It’s a beautiful transit for artistic expression, empathy, and seeing the world through a more inspired lens.

Then, at 8:35pm EST, the Sun moves into Sagittarius. Happy Sagittarius season! The season of the Archer ushers in a spark of optimism and adventure. As the mutable fire sign, Sagittarius brings movement, excitement, and a desire to explore both the world and the mind. This is a time for celebration, play, and expansion.

Ruled by Jupiter, Sagittarius season reminds us to seek joy, share laughter, and embrace life’s larger meaning. It encourages learning, travel, and conversations that open our perspectives. This energy tends to feel especially uplifting for Aries, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius placements.

November 22nd: Mercury trine Saturn ~ 1:45pm EST // Mercury trine Jupiter ~ 6:37pm EST
On Saturday, November 22nd, this busy week continues as Mercury forms two supportive trines. The first arrives at 1:45pm EST when Mercury trines Saturn, helping to cut through some of the Mercury retrograde fog. This aspect brings clarity, focus, and renewed dedication, especially useful for work, writing, or anything that requires steady attention to build.

Later in the day, Mercury trines Jupiter at 6:37pm EST, giving a lift to mental activity and overall outlook. This transit can spark inspiration, passion, and conversation. You may find yourself eager to share ideas, or revisiting old thoughts and discussions in a way that feels productive and even enjoyable.

November 23rd: Sun sextile Pluto ~ 2:19pm EST
November has been quite a busy month celestially and we continue in the same vein for the last week of the month. On Sunday, November 23rd, the Sun sextiles Pluto at 2:19pm EST. With the Sun newly in Sagittarius, this aspect brings focus, boldness, and a spark of excitement. With this powerful energy backing you, you can set big goals or tackle something that might feel overwhelming on an ordinary day, meeting it with strength and enthusiasm. This transit supports tapping into a “boss mentality” and giving your full energy to whatever needs to get done.

*

November 24th: Mars square Nodes ~ 8:32am EST // Mercury conjunct Venus ~ 8:51pm EST
On Monday, November 24th, our busy end to November continues as Mars squares the Nodes of the Moon at 8:32am EST. This transit has been building over the weekend and will be felt through midweek. You may notice a sense of being slowed down or held back, as though your drive to accomplish more doesn’t quite match your physical energy. There’s tension between what you want to do and what you’re actually capable of in the moment. Aim for balance. Pace yourself without letting external obstacles bring you to a full stop.

Later in the day, Mercury and Venus meet in conjunction at 8:51pm EST. This is a socially attuned transit that supports warm, charming, and lighthearted interactions. Flirtatious or friendly banter abounds. With Mercury still retrograde, you may find yourself reconnecting with people from the past or revisiting an old creative project with a fresh perspective.

November 26th: Venus trine Jupiter ~ 11:31am EST // Venus trine Saturn ~ 6:47pm EST
On Wednesday, November 26th, we have two pleasant transits that bring a warm, sunny tone to the day. At 11:31am EST, Venus forms a trine with Jupiter, a social and expansive aspect that encourages us to broaden our horizons. We may be in the mood to share ideas and curiosities, explore new places, or enjoy culture with loved ones. It may also spark romantic interest or open the door to new connections.

Later, at 6:47pm EST, Venus trines Saturn, helping us commit more deeply and follow through on what we’ve promised others. This transit is supportive for buckling down on creative projects and brings a touch of refined grace and sophistication to the work we produce.               

November 27th: Saturn Rx ends ~ 10:51pm EST
On Thursday, November 27th, Saturn retrograde comes to an end at 10:51pm EST. This retrograde has been in effect since mid-July, which is typical for Saturn’s cycle. During this four-month stretch, we may encounter karmic themes resurfacing or find ourselves revisiting old responsibilities and commitments. I often think of Saturn retrograde as opening the door to a metaphorical closet you haven’t checked in a while. If you’ve been stuffing things inside to avoid dealing with them, they may tumble out.

You always have a choice: tuck everything back in for later, or sort through it and let go. Saturn isn’t here to punish; it rewards effort. By showing up consistently, doing the work, and seeking to improve your life, you set yourself up for a smoother, more supportive period moving forward. 

November 29th: Mercury Rx ends ~ 12:38pm EST // Venus opposite Uranus ~ 9:48pm EST
On Saturday, November 29th, Mercury retrograde comes to an end at 12:38pm EST, with Mercury stationing direct at 20 degrees Scorpio. This is the final Mercury retrograde of 2026, and it may have felt especially intense given how active this season has been astrologically. Mercury won’t return to the degree it originally stationed retrograde at until December 16th. Over the next two and a half weeks, many of the retrograde’s challenges will ease, though some processing and releasing may still unfold.

The latter half of this retrograde brought themes of honesty, trust, and being truly seen. Miscommunications, assumptions, or even breaks in trust may have surfaced during this period. Things begin to lighten significantly by mid-December.

November 30th: Venus trine Neptune ~ 3:48am EST // Venus enters Sagittarius ~ 3:13pm EST
On Sunday, November 30th, we close out the week with two final transits. At 3:48am EST, Venus trines Neptune. This is a gentle, dreamy influence that helps creative ideas flow more easily. This aspect encourages big dreaming and an idealistic lens that can feel spiritually aligned or even fated. It’s a highly imaginative transit that helps us feel closer to others and see beyond the surface to the energy underneath.

Later in the day, Venus enters Sagittarius at 3:13pm EST, where it will remain until December 24th. This is an adventurous, curious placement for the planet of love and beauty. We may feel drawn to explore with loved ones or dive into poetic, philosophical conversations with the people we meet. Traveling with a romantic partner or close friend is especially supported now. While this isn’t the strongest placement for deep, grounded commitment, intimacy and connection can still flourish, just with more spaciousness than structure.

Those with natal Venus in Aries, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, or Aquarius will feel the biggest boost over the next three and a half weeks, with love and creativity receiving a noticeable lift. Venus in Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio, or Capricorn will experience this transit more neutrally. For those with natal Venus in Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces, the freer, more open energy may feel overwhelming at times, and releasing expectations will help keep things balanced.
