Greetings

November begins with the celebration of Day of the Dead.  I hope you enjoy my costume for Day of the Dead and feel happiness with the pictures of my Day of Dead altar in my home.   November’s planets bring us greater stability as we wrap up 2026.   This is a great time to explore deeper layers of our most meaningful relationships as we look within and are willing to revisit the past.  We may be in for a wild ride this month!  November is a month of gradual momentum as we finally see where we are going.

NOVEMBER 2026 TRANSITS

On November 4, Venus, is now in retrograde in Libra, and sextiles Jupiter in Leo which brings us into a softer energy.  Venus is the planet of love while Jupiter is the planet of expansion and luck.  Since Venus is slowing down, she will have a slow flow toward success.  Our hearts are reopening and softening.  What joy are we ready to receive?  November is a turning point as we clear out emotional resistance.  What are we still carrying from the past that we may not want to bring into our futures.  The light shines in the darkness as 5 planets are retrograde (Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, including Pluto motionless).

MERCURY CAZIMI

On November 4, Mercury retrograde meets the Sun in Scorpio to create a Cazimi.  With Mercury sitting in the heart of the Sun, we are beginning a new cycle.  Insights may appear, dreams are helpful and clarity may hold the missing piece of your imagination.  Pay close attention to your mindset.

NEW MOON IN SCORPIO

A Scorpio New Moon forms on November 9, squaring its traditional ruler, Mars, in Leo.  Tension is present and conflict may rise.  Fortunately, Mars and the Sun are in mutual reception, each in a sign ruled by the other.  This means friction is beneficial, sparking us needed action, passion, and initiation.  With Mars sexile and Venus and Jupiter approaching, it is a great time to look at our relationships.  Scorpio requires honesty and with the Sun and Moon in Scorpio it is time to be brave enough to understand what we truly desire in our relationships.  Hidden power struggles may not be over.  

MERCURY AND VENUS STATION DIRECT ON NOVEMBER 13

On November 13 Mercury goes forward in Scorpio while Venus returns to Libra. 

With the two personal planets turning direct on the same day, they are returning from the underworld of relationships, values, old patterns and stories.  It is time to move slowly until both planets clear their shadow zones in December as we are ready to walk forward.

MARS CONJUNCT JUPITER AND THE SOUTH NODE

From November 14-16 Mars joins Jupiter and the South Node in a potent triple conjunction in Leo, including the sextile with Venus in Libra.  Mars and Jupiter bring us confidence, enthusiasm and the courage to take risks.  The South Node is the path we need to release so we can grow.   Patterns of pride, performance and seeking validation are no longer needed.

SUN ENTERS SAGITTARIUS

On November 21 the Sun’s entry into far-seeing Sagittarius broadens our horizons and shifts our emotional introspection into a desire for philosophical

perspective.  The focus on the mutable fire sign is now on faith, adventure and meaning.  Sagittarian energy is joyous and active.  Better days are here until the Winter Solstice on December 21, 2026, when we enter a new energy.

FULL MOON IN GEMINI

On November 24 there is a Full Moon in Gemini, and it could very well be the energetic high point of the month.  The Full Moon’s conjunction with wild card Uranus suggests lightning-like changes.  The Moon has a flowing trine to Pluto and the sextile to psychic Neptune.  This is an electric unpredictable lunation.  With 3 planets activated and squaring Mars at the final degree of Leo, Uranus shows us the future that wants to emerge.  Time to start living and stop excusing yourself.

MARS ENTERS VIRGO

On November 25 Mars into earth sign Virgo, grounding our actions in practicality.  The month closes with a stabilizing Sun-Saturn trine on November 29, as well as the transformational Uranus-Pluto trine.  Time to create a sustainable plan which paves the way for our success.  Mars will remain in Virgo from November 25, 2026 – February 21, 2027.  When Mars lives in Virgo our drive is practical, focused and precise.  This is a perfect time to organize, repair and improve your life.  We are beginning a long story about work, health and the rhythms of our daily lives.  I want to share hope with you: “To have hope doesn’t mean being naïve optimists who ignore the tragedy of human evil.  Hope is the virtue of a heart that doesn’t close itself in the dark, doesn’t stop at the past, doesn’t scrape along in the present, but can clearly see tomorrow.”  Pope Francis
