ORACULAR OVERVIEW
For the Month of November
—
November sashays in with all the finesse of a metaphysical masquerade ball, where personal transformation, karmic reckoning, and emotional healing twirl hand-in-hand… the sun, moon and personal planets are less celestial bodies and more cosmic choreographers, guiding each one of us through this month’s delicate yet daring dance.
the sun opens on Scorpio’s sultry note, coaxing us to dive into the deep end of self-discovery and rebirth. With a Scorpio new moon as its partner in crime, the sun sparks a journey toward inner truth and outer metamorphosis. Pluto whispers, Saturn broods, Uranus spins, and Neptune dreams—this ensemble cast stirs up breakthroughs, karmic deja vu, and a dash of inner dissonance. By month’s end, the sun struts into Sagittarius, trading brooding for a boundless embrace of adventure, urging us to leap into life with both eyes wide open.
The moon meanwhile plays the role of emotional tour guide, steering us from Scorpio’s dark waters into an Aquarian first quarter moon with a kick of rebellion. the full moon in Taurus brings the unpredictable—a bit of cosmic quirkiness and a nudge to release the known for the unknown. And as we reach the Virgo last quarter moon, there’s a call for boundaries, introspection, and the sense that every emotional shadow just might hold a glimmer of gold.
Mercury, through November, is the planet of self-talk therapy, bouncing between Mars, Pluto, Saturn, Jupiter, and Chiron… it’s all about untangling karmic knots, busting out of mental ruts, and—yes—finding forgiveness, that elusive balm for the soul. As Mercury takes a nostalgic pirouette backward on November 25th, expect a reassessment of ideas and habits—it’s a retrograde moment—an invitation to rethink, recalibrate, and let old mental baggage fall where it may.
Then there’s Venus in Sagittarius, off on a quest from freedom, connection, and some good old-fashioned joy… in its connections to Chiron, Jupiter, Neptune, Saturn, and the Nodes, Venus embarks on a healing journey through illusions, ideals, and the very real grit of responsibility. By mod-month, Venus slides into Capricorn, trading bohemian for pragmatic. Now, it’s all about commitments that stand the test of time, where love meets legacy and where pleasure is anchored in purpose.
Finally, Mars takes the stage with a potent opposition to Pluto and a nod to the NN… here, control and creativity wrestle for the reins, daring us to surrender and to let inspiration lead. this is Mars as a masterclass in self-acceptance—a cosmic call to align with your sou’s purpose, blend strength with vulnerability, and show up just as you are, warts and all.

November’s Message:
November’s planetary lineup is a full-throttle course in karmic untying, emotional decluttering, and creative renaissance… whether it’s the sun stirring transformation, the moon plunging into soul-deep tides, Mercury taking a reflective breather, Venus balancing freedom with gravity and reality, or Mars daring us to embody both wisdom and wildness—this is a month made for growth, healing, and the raw power of change.
