Jupiter is not part of the minor grand trine but is shown in the 5th house angling Saturn and Neptune.
November opens on a high note with Venus in Libra square Jupiter in Cancer November 2. This is a connection that is rich in emotional honesty and a need for security. Many of us are tempted to go overboard with our expressions of love and that’s okay as long as we are sincere, but mutual respect is most important now.
The Big Picture
The big picture still consists of the minor grand trine wherein Uranus is trine Pluto while Saturn and Neptune are halfway between the other two planets. I cannot stress enough how important this positive astrological event is between now and 2028.
This event is ushering not just change but profound change that none of us alive have seen until now. Over the next 3 years we will all experience cultural, technological, and spiritual awakening. Our societies and their frameworks will evolve, but not before being exposed for their frailties, inequalities, and cruelty. As our human consciousness expands, the people and situations that have held us back will disintegrate and disappear from power and in some instances from the planet. The human race is on the brink of advancement, but not everyone wants that for their fellow beings. They think only they should enjoy their brand of equality and prosperity.
While this chaotic process lasts for up to ten years before were are settled, the outcome is sure to affect life in this corner of the cosmos for centuries.
While Pluto, Uranus, Saturn, and Neptune are slower planets, the faster planets will bounce off this minor grand trine thus accelerating progress, agitating the status quo, and in some cases creating political chaos, dramatic weather events, and even earthquakes. Our individual assignment is to embrace the change and one another.
November 3 - 7
Mars in Scorpio, having left a trine to Saturn in late October, is at the same angle to Neptune. We are still feeling the Mars to Saturn angle which involves us employing our perseverance with action to bring our hopes and dreams into reality. This could be called an “I have a dream” moment. Not all of us have the same dream so we can expect a lot of expanded ideas, some of which are outlandish. Hold onto your dreams now, whether they are geopolitical or something local just for yourself.
Just as Mars is moving into Sagittarius November 4, this assertive oftentimes warlike planet is opposite Uranus now in the process of backing into Taurus. This will bring impulsive behavior and volatile events. We must be conscious of our words and behavior. There will be accidents, but hopefully there will be no violence perpetrated by young men as Mars can represent young men. This is a time to be cautious and careful of accidents. We are all advised to keep our cool in the face of those who bait us. Power and internet outages can occur as well as challenging financial news. Prepare to take care of your self in this time that can bring unexpected events.
November 5 - The Full Moon at 13 degrees Taurus at 7:20 am CST
This full Moon takes place under the volatile influence of Mars opposite Uranus, but Mars is productively sextile Pluto. Remember, Pluto and Uranus are at two of the three tips of the minor grand trine. Plus, Uranus backs into Taurus November 7 and Venus in Scorpio is square Pluto.
This full Moon is a super Moon, meaning it is at its closest point to the earth. This augments the full Moon’s impact on our emotions, our environment, and our physical bodies, and, since the full Moon is in Taurus, earthquakes or volcanic activity are certainly possible. Financial matters and data will be talking points as well as points of contention. Tariffs, of course, will still be in the news.
Taurus will have breakthroughs. Aries will have financial matters that must be tended, and Scorpio will have significant relationship events and decisions.
For the rest of us, this full Moon is cause for slowing down to reassess our place in life, including our finances. Give thanks, get grounded, and make plans to fortify your security along with making sensible reforms.
Just after the full Moon, Uranus backs into Taurus November 7 until the final week of April 2026. While Uranus makes its last pass through Taurus, we must be very careful with our money. Financial upsets are very likely as are disruptions to the food supplies and distribution channels. This writer is not a subscriber to doomsday theories, but we are in a time of looking to ourselves and our immediate tribe for support. Prepare to be able to sustain your self.
The days until late April are especially disruptive to the leadership of the United States.
Just as Uranus is backing into Taurus, Venus having just moved into Scorpio, is square Pluto. This is emotionally intense and can add to the current economic worries. Consider plans and actions that empower your self. Do not cave into the fear mongering and do not be the one that attempts to manipulate others or any situation.
Mercury
Mercury will be out of bounds in Sagittarius from October 31 until November 10. Mercury out of bounds brings intense communication, wild stories, and breakthroughs. Surprising events and words will be used to coerce our opinions.
Mercury is at the most out of bounds point November 5-6 adding an extra dose of crazy making behavior around the full Moon. This is probably not a great time to travel also because Mercury turns retrograde November 9.
While Mercury is retrograde November 10-29, we must all slow down. Travel, communication, legal matters, and issues around education are all subject to disruption. Many of us will rethink our belief system. We will notice that many long-held beliefs are questioned, especially among those who prescribe to conspiracy theories.
Some of us will feel scattered. Check your facts and your math before committing to an option, as it is most likely an unfounded rumor.
Three days into the retrograde, on November 12, Mercury and Mars connect in Sagittarius. The days around this time should bring lots of chest beating and saber rattling which will not be based on facts, but will be founded in ulterior motives and grudges. Slow down and do not overreact at this time. Impulsive and even violent acts take place on the world stage and in some of our own corners of our own world. Use caution and have courage. This time can be especially productive for Aries, Sagittarius, and Leo if they act with wisdom.
Jupiter
Jupiter, in Cancer since June 9, turns retrograde November 11 to next March 10.
Like Mercury retrograde, Jupiter retrograde shifts our gears to a slower pace. It is time to open ourselves to contentment. This is a time to listen to our inner self and the wisdom it offers. During this slowdown we are able to pay more attention to the scenery of life and enjoy its beauty.
November 16 - 26
Beginning November 16, the Sun in Scorpio creates a grand trine in water with Jupiter in Cancer trine Saturn and Neptune in Pisces. Mercury comes into play in Scorpio opposite Uranus in Taurus., also adding to the minor grand trine November 17-19 while opposing the demon star, Algol and Uranus. This brings shocking new, words, and behavior. Stay calm.
During these days we will receive information that blows our minds. Secrets will be revealed. Our minds will shift and many of us will change our course. This does not bode well for many heads of state. The Unites States will most likely be rocked by more news of corruption and hypocrisy.
In the second house Uranus and Algol, not shown, create a diamond to the grand trine between the new Moon in the 8th house, Jupiter in the 4th house, and Saturn/Neptune in the 12th house. Pluto creates another diamond to the grand trine from the 11th house.
CST
Mercury is right there next to the new Moon charging the grand trine in water and the minor grand trine. Uranus and Algol are a fourth point that turns the grand trine to a diamond. Pluto creates a second diamond point also.
This is a very powerful new Moon. It is the soup of change and growth. Many of us will get a surge of courage to activate and embrace change in our lives and on the world stage.
This new Moon is out of bounds south. The new beginnings we experience and initiate are out of the norm. We will think out of the box when it comes to creating innovations and releasing outmoded patterns of our lives and our societies. We will begin to see new ways of moving through the worldwide chaos as we are breaking free of the people and structures that no longer serve us.
New ideas and voices will come forward that can take us through this tunnel that leads to equality, prosperity, and a release of the hypocrisies that have been put upon us.
It just gets better as Venus comes through to create the diamond November 26-30 further compelling our compassion for all our fellow humans.
Do remember, though, that as the Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus all move through the late degrees creating this diamond, they are opposite not only Uranus, but the demon star Algol. This brings sudden events that are like a strike of lightning. Use caution.
Due to Algol being activated, we will experience confrontations and dark themes that force us to face personal and collective crises. We will have to face our own shadows and the shadows of society during this new lunar cycle.
There is still more to this new Moon
As mentioned in previous months, Pluto went out of bounds south August 28 giving a new life to revolutionary behavior and ideas across the planet. Pluto goes back in bounds November 21, 2025 until next August of 2026.
Pluto in Aquarius is power to the people. Pluto moving back in bounds will bring a reorganization that is less radical but still effective. While Pluto is in bounds our collective power will begin to fuse into solid reforms, including establishing rules to combat corruption and unethical leaders. Remember though, that Pluto out of bounds south will occur every year through 2035 and that out of bounds helps us to smash through the old glass ceilings successfully so that we can solidify the new world that is emerging. We are not there yet, but we will get there.
Uranus and Neptune are moving through the zodiac at sixty degrees apart. We will feel this from August of this year, 2025 until June of 2027.
This month their sextile is exact November 20 creating a peak blending of their energy. They will next hit their exact sextile in 2026 on July 15 and again in 2027 on January 15 and June 6. This first occurred August 28 of this year. This phenomena is influencing a collective transformation of our lives including resistance to dogma, spiritual awakening, and technological break throughs, as worldwide political upheaval rings in more freedom for all , not just the few.
This last two weeks of November are sure to be a stressful and eventful time for world leadership and especially for the leadership of the United States.
Saturn, having been retrograde since July 12, goes direct November 27. Saturn going direct in Pisces brings us back to a focus on our inner selves and our connection to our source. We can feel more secure in the decisions we make as we plan and initiate projects with the long term in mind. Saturn is structure and its going direct assists us in rebuilding the framework of our lives and our societies.
In Summary
If you cannot understand all the astrology talk, here is this astrologer’s take on the last two weeks of November.
Secrets are going to come out across the world. It could be the Epstein files or some other information that has been hiding in plain sight. Whatever happens, collectively and individually, many of us will make up our mind and our direction. We will collaborate and cooperate to move forward towards that which is good for all of us and not what is for best for those at the top of the economic tier.
The power shift is here. It will take a while. It is going to be harder--and especially hard for those who want the world to work for just them to hold their grip. This could be your boss, the police chief, or the leader of your country.
Collapse and renewal are now in play. There is no going back. Mind your spending and prepare as if a storm is upon you so that you are able to continue to live comfortably in this life changing time for all of us.
Mercury Retrograde 2025
March 14 to April 7
Pre shadow period begins March 1
Post shadow ends April 26
July 17 to August 11
Pre shadow begins June 30
Post shadow ends August 25
November 9 to November 29
Pre shadow begins October 21
Post shadow ends December 16
The pre shadow period is when the effects of Mercury retrograde begin to be felt.
The post shadow is how long Mercury is felt once it goes direct.
It is best to avoid making plans and starting new projects during these times. Make note of the retrograde and shadow periods so that you can avoid important plans and decisions during these time. Travel is be avoided also.

Read the summary with your calendar that shows the whole month on one page. Read through the intro and make note of the days that I point out. Mark the new Moon and the full Moon. The days between the new Moon and the full Moon are when you generally want to start something that you want to grow. Do look at that Moon void chart and take a rest on those days. I have discovered that no matter what I plan, it turns out another way on a Moon void day. Anything you try to accomplish will turn out with unexpected results.
Make note of the three days before the new Moon. People usually get anxious during these days because the phone does not ring or they feel confused or simply nothing is happen. That is because it is wind down time before the new Moon. You will usually notice that the action of life picks up once the new Moon occurs. Also note the days that planets change directions, especially Mercury retrograde.
Hopefully these suggestions will give you a bit of a start to maneuvering through life with astrology.
