In November, the transformative energy is again strong. Mars is debilitated, and Venus, Sun, and Mercury transit through Scorpio. Saturn goes direct, which is a sigh of relief for many signs, as we can see forward momentum. Mercury starts its retrograde phase in Scorpio.
New Moon in Libra on November 1
This is the first event of November as we embark on a new moon in the month of Karthik. The new moon occurs in Swati around 15 degrees of Libra. It marks the festival of Diwali ushering in a new year cycle for many.
Venus is 2nd from this new moon situated in Scorpio, making the focus on finances. The only aspect this new moon receives is one from a debilitated Mars. This can mean some simmering emotions coming to the surface now. Especially if you are dealing with home and property matters take caution and get a second opinion where necessary. With so much emphasis on water signs, it can be an emotional time.
Mars continues its transit in Cancer, its debilitated state
Mars entered Cancer on October 21st but will stay till a long time due to its upcoming retrograde cycle in Dec. Mars will return to Gemini on Jan 21st, 2025.
One thing to understand just because a planet is debilitated doesn’t make it weak. It means that perhaps people are acting unethically, taking shortcuts, acting with low character. If you are in disagreement with others, you may be tempted to take shortcuts and go around the rules at this time.
Health issues can crop up too. Emotions can be frustrated, here Mars is not logical. But Mars is in its friends sign and unlike Mars in Cap – Mars in Cancer brings creature comforts, opps to make money. Mars in Cancer is creating good yogas for some signs, Cancer, Virgo, Aquarius.
Venus transits in Sagittarius on November 7
Venus makes its move into Sag on Nov 7 to stay till Dec 2nd. This is an excellent transit for Venus as it receives no malefic aspects and is making a parivartana yoga with Jupiter.
This will give boost to education matters, if you are learning a new subject now is time to see some progress. This transit also gives boost to travel and money matters.
Full Moon in Aries on November 15
We have another full moon in Aries this month on nov 15 aspected by Saturn. This time Moon is in Kritika instead of Ashwini, on the last degree of Aries, whereas last month it is the first degree of Aries. Aries being so highlighted it indicates new chapters trying to give birth now
Last month in October there would have been delays and some obstacles. These obstacles will be removed now as the same day of the full moon we also see Saturn moving direct.
Saturn in 11th from Aries will give the green signal to forge ahead with new paths, new goals, new directions.
Sun transits Scorpio on November 16
Next day on Nov 16 we have Sun moving into Scorpio. Scorpio is the most activated sign since May. Sun here gets the aspect of Saturn, Jupiter and Rahu.
You will again see changes in the house where Scorpio falls for you. It could be that you want to change your life direction, this is the time to take action. Put your energy out there to see results now. Sun makes a trine to its dispositor and friend Mars sitting in Cancer Sun stays here till Dec 15th
Mercury retrograde from November 25 till December 15
We have a mercury retrograde starting on Nov 25th in Scorpio. Scorpio gets further empowered as Mercury will linger here for a few weeks.
Mercury goes direct in Scorpio on Dec 15th the same day that the Sun will leave Scorpio. So, whatever you are working on connected to Scorpio will need some revisions and rethinking.
By mid-Dec you will have a more firm idea on how to proceed. Mercury leaves Scorpio on Jan 4th.
