Zoe Moon Astrology NOVEMBER MONTHLY HOROSCOPES
Happy November! We hit the month with both Mercury and Venus Retrograde and this is the way of things until the 13th when they both go Direct. With Venus we revisit love or money matters, beauty or pleasure interests with key relationships, and with Mercury it is about revisiting talks, ideas, meetings, sales, writing, offers, or decisions about financial needs, power, the sex life, reproductive matters, divorce, someone's passing, a birth, or third-party situations. Keep it in mind if there is any frustration about new things coming along but do head back over what you can to get things right in this first almost 2 weeks. Oh, and on another note, election day on the 3rd is slam down in the middle of all this Retrograde energy with the Virgo Moon (details) in adjustment mode to Neptune (deceptions/hidden issues), Pluto (crime, power) and Saturn (authority/leadership), and square to Uranus (shockers, electronics, the collective), so don't expect anything to go smoothly or if some miracle occurs where it does, there will be much about this day revisited up ahead, oy.
On the 4th we get a very nice Venus/Jupiter alignment which we may want to note. With Venus in Retrograde in Libra, it is allowing a door to be open regarding a partner, client, specialist, agent, attorney, or other key relationship about love or money, beauty or pleasure. The link to Jupiter means our growth, happiness, or prosperity is in the mix involving creative ventures, our lover/lover life, the kids, or something recreational. It could be a day to revise, release or rework something legal, travel, educational, ceremonial, or media/marketing in the mix. So, make the most of this one!
Venus Retrograde will also get more active over the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th of the month, again making nice with her alignments. So, we may again be revisiting, rekindling, releasing, or reworking something about love or money, beauty, a woman, or pleasure with the partners, clients, specialists, reps, or other key relationships. This now involves Mars in Leo so again this brings the lover/love life, creative ventures, kids, or recreational pursuits into the story, but now rather than growth and optimism it is more focused on motivation, action and/or passion in the mix. With this door open to Mars it could also be the time when we go back to revisit a fight or something we are angry about in the mix, it is do-over time, just of course take care around anyone angry.
By the 13th of the month Venus ends her Retrograde and goes Direct at 7:27pm Eastern. This shift in the astrological sky means we are now ready to start moving forward with whatever we were figuring out with clients, specialists, agents, attorneys, partners, opponents, or advocates about love, income, beauty, women, or pleasure. Whether we let something go or reworked it, we will move forward through the Shadow (degrees that were retraced during the Retrograde) now through Dec 4th when it comes to these themes to put them into play. Venus will then return to Scorpio in Direct motion and we move through the rest of her Shadow here from Dec 4th-15th. Venus will then clear her Shadow and enter into whatever is new or next with Scorpio themes from Dec 15th-Jan 7th when she finally exits Scorpio. While in Scorpio she digs deeper, makes changes, looks at sexual intimacy, reproductive needs, divorce, the bigger picture with finances, or third-party influences. I give you this breakdown covering the next couple months if you are trying to plan forward movement up ahead with her themes! For now, this month, from the 13th onward we do have forward movement with those important one-on-one relationships about love, money, beauty, women, or pleasures.
Next, to give us a boost forward is the New Moon in Scorpio. This kicks in late on the 8th at 11:02pm Pacific/early on the 9th at 2:02am Eastern. We now have 2 weeks of more cosmic boost behind our efforts to start anything brand new or to take current scenarios forward into new chapters or directions. Scorpio rules our sexual attractions, intimate needs, reproductive processes, hormones, eliminatory tracts, and divorce, as well as ruling all forms of finance outside the personal income, so things like loans, debt, inheritance, bankruptcy, alimony, insurance, taxes, child support, a partner’s money, or other outside resources. Scorpio also rules the deeper, more profound changes in our lives, things that are buried, underground, criminal, obsessive, jealous, manipulative, or involve third party situations. So, take a look at that Scorpio list, you now have 2 weeks to launch forward with new or next chapter opportunities. This New Moon squares both Mars and Jupiter in Leo. This adds more friction, testing or pushing ourselves a bit harder with the new start as it pertains to what is going on with the kids, a lover, the love life, a drama, any creative ventures, or recreational pursuits. Mars brings the fight, the passion, or the actions, while Jupiter takes it big, looks at happiness, prosperity, adventure, or something over the top here. What a New Moon this is!
Mercury is Retrograde this month until the 13th and this is in Scorpio as well. Do you think the universe wanted us to put some time into Scorpio themes?! This means in the first 13 days we are still reassessing, revamping, rekindling, releasing, or reworking things with finances, sex, reproduction, mortality, divorce, the profound changes in our life, or any third-party situations via Mercury: talks, meetings, news, offers, sales, writing, short trips, moves, or something through siblings, neighbors, or vehicles. Then, on the 13th at 10:54am Eastern/7:54am Pacific Mercury Retrograde ends and Mercury goes Direct. Mercury will move us forward with these themes now in the Shadow (moving us forward with what was revisited during the Retrograde) from the 13th-30th. Mercury then exits the Shadow on Dec 1-6th as we move perhaps into any new moments with these topics. There can be more mix-ups, miscommunications or malfunctioning mechanicals or electronics on the day a planet goes Retrograde or Direct, and since both Venus and Mercury go Direct on Nov 13th, double check your facts and figures, give a bit more wiggle room with time aimed at these themes and do try to give the benefit of the doubt if a mix-up occurs or other things go a bit haywire today.
We have an interesting 2-day period from the 15th-16th when we see Mars, Jupiter and the Karmic South Node all wind up on the 25th degree of Leo together. This merger may bring something more or less fated/karmic that is active, passionate or angry and goes big. Leo is the sign of children, lovers, dramas, creativity, speculation, royalty, and recreation so this is the playing field. Mars is fired up and bringing more fighting spirit, combativeness, anger, passion, motivation, or action to the story. Jupiter is bringing travel, legal, political, religious, ceremonial, educational, or media themes to the story or is invested in something bigger with our happiness, prosperity, adventure, or growth here. And the South Node is about 1) loss/letting go of something that has run its karmic course, 2) rebalancing the karmic give and take in a situation, or 3) a past life soul returning now through these topics. One last heads up, the Sun will then keep this active the 17th, 18th, and 19th. This means we are likely more personally or physically involved or something with our name, title, will, ego, image, or brand is brought into the story, getting us more engaged and pushing us to overcome something or push through in some way.
Between the 21st and the 22nd (11:23pm Pacific on the 21st/2:23am Eastern on the 22nd) the Sun moves into Sagittarius. This kicks off 30 days of more personal or physical involvement with travel, foreign, or distant interests, legalities, educational pursuits, media or marketing ideas, weddings, graduations or other ceremonies, or our religious, philosophical, or political interests. This looks incredibly active for us right off the bat this month, connecting with Neptune on the 23rd, with Pluto and Uranus on the 25th, and Saturn between the 29th and 30th. Although the alignments are pretty positive we may experience delays or other issues with flying through the rest of this month so try to give added time, double check everything, or if you can skip it then do.
We have a Full Moon on the 24th in Gemini. This perfects at 9:53am Eastern/6:53am Pacific as the Moon reaches 2.20 degrees of the sign of the twins. A Full Moon brings big endings, achievements, celebrations, breakthroughs, or wrap-ups as the energy is at its height for the year. In Gemini it may bring really big news or offers to a climax or an important talk, meeting, announcement, negotiation, sale, or decision to a peak. It can also bring big moments with writing, proposals, pitch meetings, siblings, neighbors, vehicles, short trips, moves, or local activities. So aim high, keep communications open, and see what wraps up, comes through or in other ways culminates at this time.
At 6:37pm Eastern/3:37pm Pacific on the 25th Mars exits Leo and moves into Virgo. Boy oh boy, is this going to be a long and interesting story. Let’s look at Mars between these 2 signs.
1) Mars entered Leo Sept 27th and exits Nov 25th.
2) Mars enters Virgo Nov 25th and Retrogrades in Virgo Jan 10th.
3) Mars Retrograde in Virgo runs Jan 10th-Feb 21st.
4) Mars Retrogrades back into Leo Feb 21st- April 1st.
5) Mars goes Direct in Leo April 1st – May 14th.
6) Mars returns to Virgo in Direct motion May 14th -July 15th.
So, that means Mars in Leo Sept 27-Nov 25, 2026 and again Feb 21-May 14, 2027 (close to 5 months in total). And Mars in Virgo Nov 25, 2026-Feb 21st, 2027 and again May 14-July 15, 2027 (close to 5 months in total). Mars should motivate us, help us deal with anger issues (just take care), spark our passion, get us busier than we’ve been in a couple years, and/or help us make things happen while in Direct motion while on the other hand we revisit, release, rekindle, or rework things when in Retrograde motion. So, while he is in Leo it is directed at our love life/lover, kids, creative ventures, dramas, or recreational pursuits. While in Virgo it is directed at our health, animals, work, being of service, people we hire, our co-workers, or paperwork. Plan accordingly! Examples could be; fight with a co-worker between Nov 25-Jan 10th? Then make it up or let it go in the Retrograde between Jan 10-Feb 21st and finally get past the whole thing May 14-July 15th. Another example could be that we fall in love or plan something with a lover Sept 27-Nov 25th, revisit, release or rework it Feb 21-April 1st, move past it into next steps April 1-May 14th. Or perhaps the Leo and Virgo energy overlooks one big story so as an example there is something going on with one of the kids during Leo and when it’s Virgo, we get the hired help to help or we sign documents or focus on work, animals or health in the story with them. Another could be getting a creative project going in Leo, revising, moving forward with it, and then focusing on the paperwork, gig, co-worker, or details about it while in Virgo, back and forth. There are so many combos but I hope that helps, if you watch the forward, retrograde, and then forward again in the list above and what it means you can make the most of the potential over these many months ahead with these stories.
Finally, Thanksgiving this year is on the 26th and under the Cancer Moon. So, on the one hand, Cancer rules our emotional connections, how we nurture, our history, comfort foods, our family, and what goes on in the home. So, this is a good focus for our day. Having said that, this Moon squares both Neptune and Saturn in Aries this year and will be inconjunct Pluto and the Sun on this day. Since the following day, on the 27th, brings really good flow with Mercury and our thoughts, talks or decisions tied to this our Cancer Moon influences, I’m thinking all of these frictional alignments on Thanksgiving just mean we are pushing ourselves a bit more over the meal or gathering, or we may feel a bit drained or restricted around it for some reason. So, head into it with the thought that all feels easier on the following day and we do best when pacing ourselves, giving some breathing room, being flexible as things take on a life of their own, or just by hibernating and waiting for Friday, lol! Happy Thanksgiving. See you in December.
