In November, we will reach a culmination to all the chaotic, disturbing vibrations created by the potent eclipses we are experiencing. We start the month with all planets gripped by the nodes except for the retrograde Mars. The month will start off with some heaviness, but end on a lighter note.
Mars takes prominence in November, goes retrograde on October 29, moves back into Taurus on November 13
If you recall this year started in a similar pattern with Mars breaking away from the Kaal sarp yoga. This month will in fact centre around Mars – as it is impacting most planets indirectly. So see what Mars rules in your chart, those themes will be prominent this month.
This month, we have the lunar eclipse in Aries, then we see Mars returning to Taurus, and Jupiter going direct. At the start of the month, there are four planets in Swati, connecting to Rahu in Bharani, which suggests endings, transformation, in rels, especially. And then the planets go into Vishaka connecting with the Jupiter in Pisces, so the theme of letting go is also strong this month.
See here for long Mars’ transit in Taurus and Gemini:
Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Aries on November 8
The first big event of the month which brings out these themes is of course the lunar eclipse in Bharani. This eclipse takes place on Nov 8 in Aries at approx 10 am UTC in the nakshatra of Bharani, at 21 degrees.
Rahu will cause this eclipse and will be close to the eclipse degree at approx 18 degrees in Bharani. Some matters will now come to light that were triggered on the October eclipse.
It could be truth being revealed, again impacting relationships, but also agreements of all kinds, it could be official ones, like contracts or unofficial agreements that we have in all rels. With Saturn being strong in Capricorn aspecting this eclipse, this is doubly true.
So, if you have been keeping secrets or you have been outright misleading others, now is the time that you will have to deal with the consequences. Not only can lies come back now, but also watch what you say now, as Mars being in Mercury’s sign, and Mercury in a compromised position, you may be impatient and aggressive with your speech or employ deceptive means to get your way. This is esp true if you are signing agreements at this time so get expert advice.

Venus moves into Scorpio on Nov 11 till December 5
On Nov 11, Venus moves into Scorpio, again connecting with the retrograde Mars in Mercury, so in rels and money matters you will see many shades of grey now.
This is not the best place for Venus, but it fares better than the current unstable environment of Libra. There is a parivartana happening with Mars and Venus in each other’s signs giving a boost to all matters connected to these planets in your chart. See what is ruled by these planets, here you will see a lot of activity.
Mercury moves into Scorpio on November 13
On Nov 13, the momentum picks up as we have Mars moving back into Taurus, and Mercury moves into Scorpio. Not the best place for Mercury in Scorpio as thinking can become turbulent now, and so can the speech but with Venus there, you will be able to practice self control. Scorpio can also foster vengeful feelings – again depending on what came up in rel matters but with the aspect of Mars this can lead to destructive outcomes. This is a good time to let go & cut chords once and for all.
Jupiter’s aspect on scorpio can calm the situation and also give your speech and actions a dharmic quality which will help you get through now. There will of course be the aftermath of the chaotic situations that could have emerged in late Oct/early Nov. And now would be the time to think about what you can let go of.
Sun transits Scorpio from November 16 till December 16
When the Sun moves into Scorpio, on Nov 16, there will be more clarity and you will be able to see the path ahead. Sun’s move into Scorpio is a big relief for the Sun, away from the nodal axis, away from the gaze of Saturn, and it is no longer debilitated.
Now the Sun is with two benefics receiving the aspect of friendly Jupiter and Mars. This will be a time to forge ahead with your plans that you had put on hold and also a good time to let go of the past and move on with the future.
Venus combustion continues this month
During a Venus combustion, Venus significations can deplete or disappear or you may not be seeing things clearly here. Be watchful of spending more than you can afford when Venus is combust. Passions can run high but can also result in fights and arguments. Some separations and breaks will also result, and this has been an ongoing theme this year.
New Moon in Scorpio on November 23
On November 23, we have two events taking place, we have a new moon in Scorpio in the nakshatra of Anuradha. This new moon in Scorpio is not only tightly aspected by Jupiter but also receives an aspect from its ruler Mars.
Now, we can expect some growth and progress – progress with matters that were stuck, especially pertaining to where Scorpio falls in your chart. Because it’s a retrograde Mars, you will be likely be going back and revising something. The transformation you see now will be beneficial. With the controlling planet of Anuradha, Saturn, in third from the moon, you will see some progress by taking initiative.
This new moon only receives benefic aspects of Venus, Mercury and Jupiter so whatever comes up you may be feeling quite good now. See where Scorpio falls in your chart to understand where you will be impacted.
Jupiter goes direct in Pisces on November 23
Jupiter goes direct same day as the new moon, on November 23. Now, all the matters connected to Jupiter that felt stuck will now move forward. If you have planets in water signs, now you can feel more optimistic about life and moving forward. Of course Jupiter still gets the aspect of Saturn, so growth can be slower than expected, though it is a far, separating aspect
Overall the first few days of the month, till around November 12, can feel heavy and bring some unexpected developments, but things calm down after Mars returns to Taurus, and the remaining month is good and you can see positive growth.
