November 2025 arrives with momentum and shifting allegiances. While Sagittarius season will officially begin late in the month, we’re still very much in Scorpio territory for most of the month.
The mood is deep, watery, and mysterious – especially since, by mid-month, we experience 3 consecutive Grand Water Trines.
The depth and intensity of Scorpio, blended with the rising adventurous spirit of Sagittarius, creates a perfect mix of tension and possibility – like a cosmic Game of Thrones.
Jupiter and Saturn are closely trining throughout the month, both receiving supportive aspects from the Sun, Mercury, and later Venus.
Other standout features are the 2 intense lunations – the Taurus and Scorpio New and Full Moons are always the most intense ones, and this year the New Moon in Scorpio is especially potent.
On top of that, quite a few planets change direction, adding to the feeling that the tide is turning.
One of the most important shifts is Uranus re-entering Taurus, pulling us back to the themes and unfinished business of the 2017–2024 era.
But let’s take a look at the most important transits of the month:
November 4th, 2025 – Mars Enters Sagittarius
On November 4th, 2025, Mars leaves Scorpio and enters Sagittarius.
After we’ve clarified what we really want (Mars in Scorpio), now with Mars in Sagittarius, it’s time to pack our bags and prepare for the adventure. Mars in Sagittarius awakens our hero and the heroine’s urge to explore, discover, and push boundaries.
With Mars in Sagittarius, the world is an oyster – whether we book a flight, go and check out that local spot we’ve never visited before, or simply open a book and travel with our mind’s eye.
This is a time when what’s different becomes enticing – and we’re inspired to get out there and see what life has to offer.
November 5th, 2025 – Full Moon In Taurus
On November 5th, 2025, we have a Full Moon at 13° Taurus.
This is an unaspected, archetypal Taurus Moon that seems to bring a stabilizing energy to Scorpio season’s proverbial intensity.
The Full Moon ruler, Venus, however – while in domicile in Venus, is anything but peaceful at the moment – sitting at the apex of a T-square with Pluto and Jupiter.
Perhaps there’s no escaping Scorpio season’s intensity after all.
November 7th, 2025 – Venus Enters Scorpio
On November 7th, 2025, Venus enters Scorpio and things get more intense all of a sudden.
Does it help that Venus immediately squares Scorpio’s ruler, Pluto, now at 1° Aquarius? No, it doesn’t. The first days of the ingress are as ‘Scorpio’ as we’d expect them to be.
But mid-month onwards, Venus forms some beautiful Water trines with Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, channeling that Scorpionic depth into healing and meaningful connection.
If the first week of November is Inanna going into the underworld, the rest of the transit is the Phoenix rising.
November 8th, 2025 – Uranus Reenters Taurus
On November 8th, 2025, Uranus leaves Gemini and reenters Taurus.
When Uranus entered Gemini in July 2025, the momentum around AI became undeniable. When Uranus entered Taurus back in 2018, cryptocurrency volatility dominated the headlines. And when Uranus entered Aries in 2011, the world witnessed the Fukushima disaster.
You might think that a re-ingress – after Uranus has already spent 7+ years in Taurus – would be less dramatic, because “been there, done that” – but nope.
That’s not how Uranus works. Whenever he crosses a sign boundary, all bets are off – he simply can’t help but shake things up.
Uranus’s last visit through Taurus is a chance to close a 7-year chapter of life with a bang. In 2026 – when Uranus enters Gemini for good – there’s no turning back.
November 10th, 2025 – Mercury Goes Retrograde
On November 10th, 2025, Mercury goes retrograde at 6° Sagittarius. Mercury will stay retrograde until the end of the month, turning direct again on November 30th, at 20° Scorpio.
Mercury retrograde is one of those astro routines we religiously revisit every 3-4 months.
There’s no way around it, and whether we like it or not, Mercury retrogrades are necessary.
Otherwise, there would never be lessons learned, no opportunities to fix things, and all those subtle course corrections that might not sound as exciting as a Jupiter trine, but make our lives easier in the long run.
November 12th, 2025 – Jupiter Goes Retrograde
Speaking about Jupiter, on November 12th, 2025, Jupiter goes retrograde at 25° Cancer.
And speaking of Jupiter trines, Jupiter is currently in a tight trine to Saturn, which is good news. Both Jupiter and Saturn change direction this month, so this slower-than-usual pace in the sky means they stay linked in a trine orb for longer.
This gives us a chance to make some moves that are truly in our best interests. Jupiter and Saturn are social planets – they shape how we deal with the world, from the social circles we gravitate toward to how we handle jobs and everyday responsibilities.
So when these 2 giants are in alignment, we just find it easier to function socially.
Stationary Jupiter trine Saturn helps us feel like we belong to something bigger than ourselves, and find our natural place in the world.
November 17th, 2025 – Grand Water Trine
On November 17th, we have a grand water trine at the 25th degree of the water signs: Sun is at 25° Scorpio, Jupiter at 25° Cancer, and Saturn at 25° Pisces.
We’ve already touched on Jupiter trine Saturn, but when the Sun joins in on November 17th, the energy becomes personal.
Suddenly, our deeper motivations and the direction of our path become not only clearer, but also more purposeful. We feel that our own journey is a meaningful piece in the greater puzzle.
November 20th, 2025 – New Moon In Scorpio
On November 20th, 2025, we have a New Moon at 28° Scorpio.
This New Moon is tightly conjunct Mercury retrograde, so it coincides with the beginning of a new Mercury cycle – one that’s likely to deliver an important message or insight.
This is a highly auspicious New Moon – part of a Grand Trine – and without a doubt, one of the best New Moons we’ve had in a while. A dedicated report will follow closer to the date.
November 22nd, 2025 – Sun Enters Sagittarius
On November 22nd, 2025, the Sun enters Sagittarius. Happy birthday to all the dreamers and truth-seekers out there!
What would we do without our Sagittarius people, and how would we move forward without the spirit of Sagittarius season lighting the way?
This is when we celebrate Thanksgiving and get excited for Christmas preparations – at least in the Western world. But most cultures have their own ways of marking this season with optimism and a sense of hope for what’s ahead.
November 23rd-26th, 2025 – Grand Water Trine
On November 23rd, Mercury – and a few days later, Venus – trine Jupiter and Saturn, forming a Grand Trine at 24–25 degrees of the water signs.
This month we are truly blessed with a successive series of Grand Trines – Sun, Moon, Mercury, and now Venus – all aligning with Jupiter and Saturn.
While previous trines may have helped us clarify our purpose or direction, this is a feel-good transit – because hey, Venus is what makes us feel good. Jupiter adds an extra oomph, and Saturn makes sure we don’t go overboard.
This is a great time to celebrate something or simply spend time with people we care about.
November 28th, 2025 – Saturn Goes Direct
On November 28th, 2025, Saturn goes direct at 25° Pisces.
Saturn’s return to Pisces has been a mixed blessing: it tempered the fiery urgency of the Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries, which was likely needed. Yet at the same time, it’s drawn us back into familiar territory – places we might have hoped to leave behind.
But it’s not over till it’s over. There’s a big chapter of our lives that is slowly – very slowly – wrapping up.
From now until February 14th, 2026, when Saturn makes its final pass through Pisces, we have the opportunity to tie up loose ends and bring closure to unfinished business. Remember, Saturn is trine Jupiter – and will soon sextile Pluto – so there’s a lot of support in the sky.
November is less chaotic than other months, like the earlier part of the year or September – but when we look back, this could be the month when things finally clicked into place.
PS: Tomorrow the Astro Butterfly School will make an important announcement – a new 2.5-year educational program featuring 3 different paths: “Transform Your Life With Astrology,” “Natal Chart Mastery,” and “Astrology Through Time.” More information will be shared in the upcoming email.
