November Astrology
In the Scorpio to Sagittarius Season
The water sign of great depth, Scorpio, holds and describes the most intense of human experiences and emotions. Scorpio reveals the hidden so situations can transform and broaden into the Sagittarius views. It is interesting that we hold elections in the Scorpio time of year when depth of feeling, heightened perception, and death and rebirth are emphasized.
Nov 1 – The Sun at 9 Scorpio quincunx Saturn in Aries – Careful reconsideration of life issues, adjustment for new beginnings.
Nov 3 – Election day
(for more reflection on the election and the astrological dynamics at this time sign up for Susan’s monthly astrology talk on Nov. 6th, 9:30 am PST)
The chart for the closing of the polls in Hawaii on November 3, 2026, brings Uranus to the Ascendant, symbolizing an extraordinary moment of awakening, disruption, and the possibility of new collective understanding. In Gemini, Uranus challenges established narratives and invites a reconsideration of how information shapes consciousness. This is of utmost importance in the chart, pointing to prominent change of direction due to the election.
The Aquarius–Leo nodal axis, conjunct Mars and Jupiter in Leo and the Aquarius Midheaven, highlights the tension between inherited models of leadership and emerging possibilities for collective responsibility. (Take note of large voter turnout).
Meanwhile, the Aries Vortex, linking Uranus in Gemini, Pluto in Aquarius, and Saturn Neptune in Aries, suggests that the transformation underway extends far beyond a single political event. It concerns the deeper structures of society, the ideals through which people organize collective life, and the evolving relationship between individual freedom and shared responsibility.
The Sun and retrograde Mercury in Scorpio invite reflection on power and the hidden dynamics beneath political narratives, while the Virgo Moon emphasizes the importance of discernment and practical understanding. These planetary alignments of Sun, Mercury, and Moon bring about a seriousness in reconsidering the political situations at hand.
The central archetypal question is whether the collective will respond to the pressures of change by reinforcing familiar patterns of division and identification, or by developing a more conscious relationship with power, leadership, and the shared future. With Uranus rising, the outlook of this time leans into the latter.
An additional dimension of the November 3 election emerges through the retrograde cycles of Venus and Mercury. Astrologer Erin Sullivan, drawing upon Bruce Scofield’s research into MesoAmerican understandings of the Venus cycle, describes the heliacal rising of Venus (when Venus becomes visible in the early morning sky, just before sunrise, after having been hidden from view by the Sun’s brilliant light) as a period traditionally associated with the vulnerability of political authority and the instability of established leadership. The 2026 election occurs approximately eleven days after Venus’s inferior conjunction with the Sun, during her early emergence as the Morning Star. Venus retrograde invites a collective reconsideration of values, diplomacy, alliances, and the principles upon which relationships are established. At the same time, Mercury retrograde in Scorpio approaches its own inferior conjunction with the Sun, symbolizing a profound reconsideration of information, trust, and the deeper dynamics of power. The disputed Bush, Gore election of 2000, when Mercury stationed direct on Election Day, offers an intriguing historical parallel, although the planetary phases are different.
With Uranus rising in Gemini, the sign ruled by Mercury, these themes of awakening, reassessment, and the emergence of new perspectives become especially prominent. These planetary cycles illuminate a collective threshold in which established assumptions about leadership, legitimacy, and shared values may be reconsidered.
It is incredibly unusual and unique that both Mercury and Venus are retrograde during the election. It implies reversal, a deeper consideration than usual of what is taking place in our values, in our relations, and how information is being shared. With Venus retrograde in Libra, the legal system and the courts are brought into the picture. With Mercury retrograde, tabulation of votes, the sharing of that information, along with the possibility of recounting is involved. It is interesting to note that in California there will be people whose job it is to watch and witness how the Trump administration employees appear at the polls and what they do. This can be reflected in the Mercury and Venus retrograde taking in review and deeper perception of what is and has been taking place.
One further connection I find especially interesting: Venus and Mercury both turn direct on November 13, 2026, just ten days after the election. In cyclical terms, November 3 occurs while both planetary processes are still unfolding, with their direct stations ahead. I would regard November 13 as another meaningful symbolic threshold in the broader election period discussion, as a transition from the inward, reconsidering phase of both cycles toward the gradual outward expression of what has been reviewed. Could it be possible that certain outcomes become known at or after the 13th?
A charged Election Day for Trump astrologically
This appears to be an unusually charged Election Day for Trump, expansive and energizing on the surface, yet simultaneously exposing him to consequences, loss of control, and a possible turning point in his public power. The chart contains both amplification and diminishment, especially around his natal Mars and Ascendant.
For more information on how this shows up in Trump’s chart, with the planetary aspects, join Susan for her November monthly talk, on Friday, Nov. 6th.
As the Moon approaches the square to his natal Uranus, the emotional atmosphere becomes more unpredictable later in the evening. Uranus can correspond with surprising results, rapidly shifting projections, technological or media disruption, or an impulsive reaction to news. Since natal Uranus is connected with Trump’s public vocation and reputation, an unexpected development could alter how his political influence is perceived.
Nov 4 – Venus retro at 24 Libra sextiles Jupiter in Leo – a day to enjoy with others, reviewing our relationship and values around leadership and performance.
Nov 4 – The Sun conjuncts Mercury retrograde at 12 Scorpio 11 – when the Sun conjuncts Mercury retrograde a new cycle begins, a new message carries a theme until the next time the Sun conjuncts Mercury retrograde, Mar 7th, 2027. The Sabian symbol for this degree, “An inventor experimenting,” the pursuit of knowledge. Perhaps this indicates that we are now in a time period of seeking out the truth.
Nov 8 – New Moon at 16 Scorpio –
Nov 8 – New Moon at 16-17 Scorpio, 11:02 pm PST –
Nov 8 – New Moon at 16 Scorpio – The New Moon in Scorpio marks the prelude to winter, a powerful transitional time as we feel the dark descending into our daylight time.This New Moon highlights its relation with Neptune. What’s truth and what is illusion, it might pose. It is in an applying square to Mars which conjuncts Jupiter, implying that this Scorpio new Moon carries battle and dramatic assertive expressions. You can imagine what this might mean after the elections, especially as the transiting Mars and Jupiter conjunct Trump’s Leo ascendant, amplifying his aggressive and dramatic tactics.
But on a personal level the Mars Jupiter conjunction encourages taking bold action, strong decisiveness and leadership qualities. It’s square to the New Moon in Scorpio, challenges those qualities to be aligned with deeper truths and core values that have the potential to transform and renew.
On a personal level, we might ask ourselves, “What in our life, in our behavior, or in the projects we are working on, is ready to be transformed with a new start? What are we ready to let go of? Where do we need courage and boldness to make change or start new beginnings or patterns? Can we assess situations or ourselves now in the light of unadulterated truth? And what kind of action shall we take?”
Affirmation for New Moon in Scorpio
“I am attuned to the depths and layered dimensions of life. I am ready to let go of an old way of being. My actions are integrated with awareness of my inner dynamics and those interactions within my relationships. I can move smoothly while in transformation.”
Nov 9 – Venus retrograde at 23 Libra sextiles Mars in Leo – As we review our values and relationships this is a good day to take action on those intentions.
Nov 13 – Mercury goes direct at 5 Scorpio – Mercury dirrect in Scorpio now perceives beneath the surface of situations, penetrating insight is possible and now is free to move forward. Both Mercury and Venus go direct this day, after reconsideration, this turning point brings forward movement in communication and relations.
Nov 13 – Venus goes direct at 22 Libra – Venus going direct in Libra after its retrograde dipping into Scorpio brings forth emphasis on it’s reconsideration of justice, fairness, and legal situations. Diplomatic relations can be favored at this time.
Nov 15 – Mars conjunct Jupiter at 25 Leo – Dramatic expressions and actions.
Nov 18 – The Sun at 26 Scorpio squares Jupiter in Leo – Integrating in depth perception with creative expression, can mark a turning point.
Nov 19 – The Sun at 27 Scorpio squares Mars in Leo – powerful time of assertion, agression and possibly revenge. Or integrating insight in intimate relations with individual expression.
Nov 21 – The Sun enters Sagittarius – After the Sun moves through deep intense scorpio, transformation and adjustment occur so when the Sun enters Fire sign Sagittarius we have broader perspectives and more optimism.
Nov 23 – The Sun at 1 Sagittarius trines Neptune in Aries – a day for imagining, empathy and inclusiveness. Great for a day off from work!
Nov 24 – Full Moon at 2 Gemini – This November Gemini full Moon aligns with Uranus, highlighting change, disruption, and the unexpected. The Moon is also squaring Mars and Jupiter at the end of Leo, accentuating large dramatic actions that are in tension with the changes taking place.
The pairing of Gemini and Sagittarius emphasize that we are in a mutable, changeable, transitional time. Both signs are concerned with information and communication. Gemini highlights the twins and how polarities interact or integrate, while fire sign Sagittarius seeks to move in one direction and get a broader view of situations. Under this full Moon we are in a powerfully dynamic time period where polarities are heightened. We are at a crossroads of what values will establish new foundations in our country, especially with the Sun and Moon in opposition and activating the Aries vortex, which marks the time as disruption and transformation as we imagination and put in place new structures and systems to lead us into the new era.
This is taking place as well on a personal level. How do we want to update, transform, release and renew our inner alignment with ourselves to establish new foundation for going forward into the future?
Full Moon at 2 Gemini, 6:54 AM
Affirmation for Full Moon in Gemini
“I am alert to how I want to change and grow and I’m willing to take actions that I align me with that growth”.
Nov 25 – The Sun at 3 Sagittarius sextiles Pluto at 3 Aquarius – new ideas and enthusiasm for change.
Nov 25 – The Sun at 3 Sagittarius opposes Uranus in Gemini – change, breakthrough, disruption, radically insight versus old philosophies.
Nov 25 – Mars enters Virgo – Mars leaves dramatic Leo and moves into earthy Virgo where there is devotion to work and attending to details, a humbleness to serve.
Nov 28 – Venus at 26 Libra sextiles Jupiter in Leo – enjoyment with others, love of learning
Nov 28 – Venus at 26 Libra opposes Chiron in Aries – Venus in Libra shows consideration for others, while Chiron in Aries can expose the wounded masculine, that strives to dominate. At the opposition there can be deeper consideration of healing and integration of the masculine and feminine archetypal qualities.
Nov 29 – Uranus at 3 Gemini trines Pluto in Aquarius – The first exact trine was July 25th, 2026, though within orb since 2024, and they continue in the trine through 2029. This marks a time of what was hidden from view before, now erupting to view and bringing radical change, disruption, and potentially breakthrough in collective consciousness.
Nov 29 – The Sun at 8 Sagittarius trines Saturn in Aries – This adds grounding to the powerful changes we are going through. A good day for accomplishing tasks that require endurance.
