November opens with a sense of relief, according to Cosmopolitan UK, as both the Mercury and Venus retrogrades come to an end during the month. The Sun finishes its journey through Scorpio in the early part of November, a period the publication describes as introspective, with themes of reciprocity, intimacy and security arising across various areas of life. The month also offers a preview of 2027.
Mars enters its pre-retrograde shadow period in Leo on November 5. Mars will go retrograde in both Leo and Virgo in January, and the publication advises paying attention now to frustrating issues, moments when action was declined and how effort and energy are spent, since those topics will resurface for retooling once the retrograde begins early next year. A New Moon in Scorpio follows on November 8, a time the article associates with releasing control and sitting with difficult emotions such as guilt, shame or fear, while recognizing an opportunity to heal and establish trust in close bonds.
November 13 brings what the publication calls a massive turning point, with Mercury stationing direct in Scorpio and Venus stationing direct in Libra on the same day. Mercury's shift is described as revealing truths and requiring honesty in conversations that have been avoided, while Venus's shift puts a spotlight on close relationships and decisions about whether to stay or go. The article says confidence about moving forward in connections, contracts and client relationships grows at this time.
Mars in Leo forms a conjunction with Jupiter in Leo on November 15, an alignment the publication links to reaching a personal goal, making progress toward something meaningful, and embodying confidence and courage. The Sun enters Sagittarius on November 21, opening a period the article associates with adventure, new experiences and leaving one's comfort zone.
A Full Moon in Gemini arrives on November 24, described as full of shock and surprise, with conversations reaching a turning point and unexpected information emerging. The publication notes that new developments may be exciting and destabilizing, that an overactive mind may be hard to quiet, and that a desire to get more involved in the local community may arise.
Mars enters Virgo on November 25, lending extra precision, according to the article. Because Mars will eventually go retrograde in Virgo beginning in January 2027, the publication advises attention to what comes up in the following weeks, noting that daily small habits matter and that words can become weapons under this transit. The month wraps up on November 28 when Venus in Libra mingles with Jupiter in Leo, energy the publication describes as helpful, supportive and fun, linked to gratitude, confidence, creative inspiration and courage.
