What lies beneath? As November begins with a pileup of planets in water indicators, skimming the floor is not the way in which to go. We’re being pulled again into the depths, prepared or not, as the celebs sound the decision for reflection.
Saturn, Uranus, Neptune & Pluto are already in rear-facing retrogrades as November begins
We have got not one however 4 planets retrograde to get November began, with Mercury and Jupiter becoming a member of the retrograde parade by the second week of the month. Given the chaotic state of the world, we are able to solely hope that these cycles remind us of our shared humanity slightly than additional dividing us—however which will really feel like an improbably tall order some days.

What would possibly you launch earlier than the top of 2025?
Guiding perception arrives on the Taurus full supermoon on November 5, an emotionally charged lunar elevate that helps us type out what feels secure and what’s turn into stagnant.
Taurus guidelines safety, each emotional and monetary, and helps use flip concepts into tangible type. Look again to the Taurus new moon on April 27 for clues of what may come to fruition now.
Simply two days later, on November 7, rebellious Uranus retrogrades again into Taurus for its ultimate go to in our lifetimes
Uranus, which moved into Gemini on July 7 for the primary time since 1949, is retrograde from September 1 till February 3. On April 2026, it’s going to finish an eight-year residency in Taurus (save for the temporary pause this summer season and fall), and settle into Gemini till 2033.
Over the vacations, chances are you’ll end up revisiting seismic shifts that first started way back to 2018. Uranus is the planet of innovation and know-how; Taurus guidelines our day-to-day lives and the fabric world. With AI coming for, effectively, every part—or so we’re instructed—Uranus’ return to earth-sign Taurus will certainly remind us of its limits.
Taurus guidelines the physique, and Uranus’ return right here reminds us of our flesh-and-blood human organic wants. Earlier than humanity fully activates itself within the identify of “progress,” November’s retrogrades would possibly blessedly slam the brakes.
From the “farmaggedeon” disaster spawned by AI knowledge heart land grabs, I.C.E. raids and tariffs crushing American farmers, to the federal government shutdown impacting SNAP advantages and meals help packages, to the “Huge Stunning Invoice” threatening to wipe out medical advantages for America’s poor and aged, to mounting local weather points…can the opposite planets knock some sense into this one?
We’ll see—beginning with the query of whether or not anybody will even pay attention to one another.

On November 20, the month-to-month lunar “reset button” arrives tightly conjunct retrograde Mercury and shadowy Black Moon Lilith. This new moon trio additionally types a uncommon and potent Grand Water Trine with idealist Neptune, taskmaster Saturn, and retrograde Jupiter. This configuration has the potential to be a therapeutic gateway, or an unleashing of the emotional floodgates.
Residents’ anger, fueled by the righteous outrage of Lilith, will come again dwelling to roost (cue Jupiter retrograde in Most cancers). Hopefully it’s going to invoke accountability amongst elected officers, slightly than unleash extra wrath upon their harmless scapegoats.
Simply in time, Sagittarius season begins on November 21
Because the solar galavants into free-spirited Sag, it restores our large image, inclusive perspective. Then, Saturn ends its retrograde on November 27, transferring ahead in Pisces for a ultimate lap (till February 13) earlier than departing for almost 30 years.
Whew! November is unquestionably one of many weightier months of this already heavy 12 months. The perfect information could also be that we’re nearer to the end line. It’s been an extended one.
However all just isn’t misplaced; If we’ve realized something in 2025, it’s how you can come collectively in our native communities to guard each other in unthinkable situations.
Now may be the suitable time to invoke the phrases of Sagittarius writer and cultural anthropologist Margaret Mead, “By no means doubt {that a} small group of considerate, dedicated, residents can change the world. Certainly, it’s the solely factor that ever has.”
