These planetary changes divide November into three distinct periods.

November 1–13: Reflect, reconnect and reconsider

The first part of the month is well suited to reviewing relationships, personal priorities and existing commitments. Retrograde Venus encourages us to reconsider what we value and how we understand love and well-being. Retrograde Mercury turns our attention towards communication, information and earlier agreements.

An old friend may get in touch, an unfinished conversation may return, or you may see a familiar situation differently. Take time to understand what these experiences mean to you now.

In relationships, discuss what needs more attention: affection, time together, shared responsibilities or expectations. Speak honestly while leaving room for the other person’s perspective.

At work, revisit existing projects, organise information and clarify details. This period is more useful for correcting and refining than for pushing ahead with something entirely new.

The New Moon in Scorpio on November 9 invites you to identify what you want to transform. Perhaps you are ready to change a draining habit, establish clearer boundaries or face a question you have been avoiding. With Mercury and Venus still retrograde, allow your intentions time to develop before expecting immediate progress.

Those with the Sun, Moon or Ascendant in Scorpio may experience this period particularly strongly.

Favourable days: November 4, 11 and 12.
More challenging days: November 8 and 9.

November 13–22: Gather strength and begin moving forward

The middle of November marks a gradual turning point. As Mercury and Venus turn direct on November 13–14, communication becomes clearer and relationship matters begin to move forward. Allow a little time for decisions and arrangements to settle.

The Sun and Mercury remain in Scorpio, helping us concentrate, investigate and approach important matters with greater understanding. Mars in Leo adds creative enthusiasm and the courage to express ourselves.

This is a more supportive period for beginning projects that have already been considered carefully. Return to an idea you believe in and identify the first practical steps towards bringing it to life.

Venus in Libra encourages warmth, cooperation and an appreciation of beauty. Make time for a date, a meaningful conversation or a shared interest. New connections may develop more easily, while existing relationships can benefit from renewed attention.

Creative work, beauty-related services and projects requiring both insight and initiative are especially in keeping with this period.

Water and earth signs—Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces, Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn—may find the middle of the month particularly supportive for focused progress.

Favourable days: November 16, 20 and 22.
More challenging days: November 17 and 18.

November 22–30: Broaden your horizons

The Sun enters Sagittarius on November 22, bringing a more open, optimistic atmosphere. After weeks of looking inward, attention turns towards future possibilities.

You may feel drawn to travel, study, cultural events or conversations with people whose experiences differ from yours. Share an idea, reconnect with friends or explore a subject that inspires you. The anticipation of the festive season may also begin to lift your spirits.

This period supports education, publishing, international connections and introducing your work to a wider audience. Fire and air signs—Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini, Libra and Aquarius—may feel particularly responsive to its opportunities.

On November 26, Mars enters Virgo, shifting energy towards practical tasks, useful skills and everyday routines. Organise your workspace, put your priorities in order and turn an inspiring plan into manageable steps. Leave room for rest and enjoyable company alongside your responsibilities.

Favourable days: November 25, 29 and 30.
More challenging day: November 24.
