Essential Astrological Dates for November 2025

November is a month of deep introspection, transformation, and integration, moving from shadow work into expansion and forward momentum. Early in the month, Scorpio energy dominates—New Moon in Scorpio, Mercury retrograde, and Venus in Scorpio—highlighting reflection on hidden truths, emotional depth, intimacy, and relational patterns. Sudden insights (Uranus) and intuitive guidance (Neptune) encourage letting go of old attachments and planting seeds for personal and spiritual growth.

Mid-month, transits like Venus trining Jupiter and Saturn retrogrades, and Sun trining Jupiter and Saturn, bring balance, emotional maturity, and relational alignment, supporting authentic self-expression, disciplined integration of lessons, and heart-centered growth. The Scorpio intensity is tempered with expansive, compassionate, and visionary energy, allowing lessons from past retrogrades to be integrated.

Late November, the Sun and Venus enter Sagittarius, shifting the focus toward exploration, freedom, optimism, and applying insights from the month. Saturn and Mercury station direct, signaling forward movement in personal discipline, communication, and decision-making. Relationships, values, and desires are infused with curiosity, playfulness, and expansive energy, while still honoring the depth and lessons from earlier Scorpio transits.
