November 2025 : The Art of Division
Business
Can you believe that the Holidays are nearly here!?! I feel like I was just messaging you about the arrival of Summer like… yesterday! Oh well… time flies and November is the beginning of the Holiday madness.
That said, my consultation schedule will be limited at this time. We will be traveling and spending family time together for much of the next couple of months (November through January). But, if there is an emergency and you don’t find a time that works for you - always reach out to me personally and we can find a time to get you in.
If you are looking for a meaningful gift for your friends and family, an Astrological Consultation can be a great gift! Your loved one receives deep, personal insight that can improve their lives… amazing! I will be posting a Holiday Sale soon - so keep your eyes open for that!
In a similar vein, Sara and I will be outlining the Astrology of 2026 for our December Podcast - so keep your eyes peeled for that release!
However, don’t miss our newest Broadcast Astrology Podcast release with Dulce Bell-Bulley, where we discuss the technical and esoteric manifestations of the current Saturn-Neptune Conjunction. The Saturn-Neptune Conjunction is one of the main astrological signatures of 2025-2026 and we can see it manifesting via the overall disintegration of the foundations that we have stood upon for so long. Reality will not be the same on the other side. Please listen (on YouTube, Spotify and elsewhere), and you will be blown away by Dulce’s beautiful insight and wisdom.
As usual, you can find a video/audio version of this Newsletter on YouYube and Spotify.
Opening
Although the world keeps churning, I suspect that many of us were able to exhale more deeply in October. Able to let the tensions of the month prior melt away and find some joy in the mundane : be that enjoyment of family and friends, basking in the beautiful autumn weather or enjoying a good book. In whatever form that may have taken, I hope that you soaked in the releasing and healing potential that has been available.
November largely continues similar themes of watery imagination and creativity. As well as connection and feelings of hope. The risk of the supportive energy that we are currently in the midst of is that we could lay back not take advantage of the flow that is available to us. While many could use a time to recline, space out and let the nervous system recover, if you have a project that is in a slump, this could be a good time to actively step into the creative process.
However, November also includes a frenetic Mercury Retrograde - that is highlighted by its interactions with Mars and Uranus. This astrological signature ushers in the potential for communication, technology and travel mayhem. While there is the potential for meaningful new perspectives and breakthroughs, we could also witness sudden bursts of upheaval, revolutionary cries and overall tumultuousness.
Do your best not to get caught in the potentially divisive rhetoric, it is not likely to lead to where you think that it will. And the same signatures that signify supportive emotional healing could become emotional overwhelm and outbursts. Keep your center.
Taurus Full Moon
The Taurus Full Moon takes place on November 5th at 13° Taurus 22’. The Full Moon occurs immediately after the intense Mars Opposite Uranus (00° Sagittarius 08’) on November 4th. Thus, the momentum and revolutionary spirit of Mars Opposite Uranus is embedded into the Full Moon. On its own, a Taurus Full Moon is very lovely, the Moon is Exalted in its sign of security, beauty and stability.
We can expect this Full Moon to be activating, exciting and full of activity. Sleep could be interrupted at this time, so do your best to integrate your tried-and-true bedtime rituals to ensure that you get the rest that you need.
We could be feeling the pre-Holiday rush coming in, social calendars becoming full and the to-do-list becoming overwhelming. In addition, the world chaos could be stirring up another round of intensity and drama. A culmination could be coming to the surface, creating a call for revolution.
Personally, this could be a great time for breakthroughs in areas where you have felt stuck. The energies that are highlighted (Mars and Uranus specifically) indicate that we could be faced with a sudden and intense call to make drastic changes, specifically in areas where we have deeply resisted change. Remember that discomfort is often not something to be avoided, but rather to sit with in compassion and curiosity. Bring the discomfort in, sit beside it and ask it what it has to teach you.
Mercury Stations Retrograde (& Direct)
Mercury will Station Retrograde on November 9th 2025 at 06° Sagittarius 51’ and will Station Direct on November 29th at 20° Scorpio 42’. Take a look at your chart for what you have situated between 06° Sagittarius and 20° Scorpio.
The signature aspects that this Mercury Retrograde will highlight include a Conjunction with Mars (perfecting on October 20th, November 12th, and January 18th) and an Opposition to Uranus (perfecting on October 29th, November 19th and December 10th). In both of these instances, the energetic of the Mercury Retrograde will begin to be woven into the story-line in late October, when the first aspects perfect and will continue beyond the Station Direct into mid-January 2026.
Mercury in a hard aspect with both Mars and Uranus indicate a time of fighting words, sudden outbursts of anger and revolution, and jolting threats. While we will be sure to see this play-out on the world-stage, be careful of your own communication during and around this Mercury Retrograde. Tensions are high and the words may be expressed before we have time to evaluate them and make a better choice.
Also, be sure to back up your technology and be more careful with all travel and transportation. Most pointedly, Holiday travel could be impacted by this Mercury Retrograde - which falls over the Thanksgiving holiday. If you are planning to travel at this time, allow for enough time for delays to occur. And mentally prepare yourself for the unexpected travel hiccups. The real world manifestation of the delays and interference that I see could have to do with the continued Government Shut-Down that could be impacting airline during this busy time.
Jupiter and Saturn
Jupiter and Saturn provide a potentially positive spin on the otherwise challenging events that look to be unfolding. Both planets are moving very slowly throughout the month - as each slows to station. Jupiter will Station Retrograde at 25° Cancer 09’ on November 11th and Saturn will Station Direct at 25° Pisces 09’ on November 27th.
While their powerful watery Trine will not perfect, they will be within 30’ of one another - very close! This alluring Trine will not perfect until August 2026 - with Jupiter in Leo and Saturn in Aries. But we will feel this close connection between Jupiter and Saturn this November.
What this means is that we could experience the tensions leveling out to some degree, possibly even finding a means of pragmatic compassion and understanding. While this supportive cosmic gift could offer some guidance for moving forward, it will not fix our problems. If we want to harness the optimism and flow of this Trine, we will need to be intentional in how we access its power. Nothing is free.
Check to see what you have between 22° - 28° of the water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces) to see if you are able to bring in the blessings and benefits of this transit!
Scorpio New Moon
Finally, the Scorpio New Moon occurs on November 21st at 28° Scorpio 11’. Bringing us deeper into the shadowy liminal realm, the Scorpio New Moon is luscious and velvety. Although the highlight of this New Moon is an Opposition to Uranus (at 29° Taurus 29’), there is a lot of watery support involved as well - this is illustrated by the Grand Trine between the Sun, the Moon and Mercury all in Scorpio, Jupiter in Cancer and both Saturn and Neptune in Pisces. Mercury Retrograde is closely Conjunct the New Moon.
The symbolic picture that emerges is one of revolution and sudden shifts (a theme that has been consistent for some time) but one where the jolting changes are absorbed by and put into action by deep intuition, reflection and compassion. This is a great astrological environment for new dreams to come to life, fertility is strong as is deep knowing.
If out-of-the-blue events do occur, we should be able to find the emotional intelligence to make something profound out of the new perspective. This is a great time to re-align your nervous system through nature and meditation and sink into your intuition. Listen to your spidey-senses at this time, look for the patterns and omens that surround our day-to-day life, be a magic detective! The world is only as bland and mundane as we make it. And only as magical as well allow it to be!
Enjoy the imagination and new revelations that are available at this time.
Closing
We are currently dancing with the art of division. September highlighted the divide that the US is situated within. And November could stoke those flames a bit more. The current story line is largely headed towards February 2026, and ultimately 2030.
There are two directions that we can decide to follow : let yourself be pulled to one “side” or the other in anger and fear, OR lean into the fact that we are all connected and division is one of the many illusions that we, as humans, wrestle with. Although we may think that there is one side or the other, the truth is that the binary boundaries that we create are always bound to dissolve - because they are not real.
Life is filled with constant crossroad decisions, some more impactful than others. The crossroads that human kind stands upon at this moment is a big one, and it may not be the one that everyone thinks that it is. Humans tend to choose division in order to feel safe, but ultimately those decisions are based in fear. Making decisions at the holy crossroad out of fear is not in the interest of our highest good. And this is the creative act of trust that we are being faced with. Trusting that our natural state is a cohesive and united state of being, and that we can live in relative harmony as united humans.
While I hope dearly that we will find balance within the current imbalance that we find ourselves in, I suspect that the only way through the current conflict could include a distinct fallout. The only way out is through.
But always keep the larger picture in your mind and in your heart… And check yourself if you are being pulled towards one side or the other of our divided world. While the means may look to serve the end… does it really? Are others being hurt in the process? Are you acting out of fear or anger? Always be kind and compassionate and curious with yourself, and allow yourself to be fluid.
Thanks for reading / listening / watching.
Lots of Love,
Lisa (aka The Dynamic Self)
