Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of November in your work sector, the solar spotlight is always on your work situation, job matters and options or on whatever it is that keeps you busy and occupies your time at this time of year. However, this time with a lot more support and by the end of the first week, with the pace starting to dial back. It was Mars’ return last month that kicked off not just some of the busiest six weeks of this year, but since he was last here in 2023. Mars returned ahead of the Sun, but with Mercury with him to help you work smarter. Mercury left last month but will retrograde back in for a do over on 19th November. The busy pace that Mars likes to see should start to dial back when he leaves on 5th November, with Venus’ return on 7th November ushering in a phase that is more about what you can attract. Venus will still be here and Mercury will have retrograded back in by the time the Moon not only moves through from 18th November to 20th November, but in the lead up to the Sun’s departure on 22nd November, as a New Moon. Adding to what will be a powerful month across the income, work and career fronts, is that Saturn and Neptune have both retrograded back into your career sector, while Jupiter is making his first visit to your income sector in 12 years. Meanwhile, while the Sun won’t return to your relationship sector until 22nd November, the point in each year when the solar spotlight will always shift onto your relationships, this is where Mercury, the planet of communication will start the month and where Mars will return on 5th November. As there isn’t a moment this month when there aren’t planets in your work or relationship sectors, this makes this an important month for both. Meanwhile, before returning to your work sector on 7th November, in her final days in a playful and creative part of your chart, Venus will be doing her best to ensure life doesn’t become all work and no play. It is a day later that after five months in Gemini, Uranus will retrograde back out, having planted seeds and ideas that he can return to when he returns in April 2026, to spend the next six years here.
Just as you have reached the sunset of all planetary activity on the romantic front for the year, a new dawn is rising on the relationship front. As there is only a month between the Sun’s departure from your romantic sector in October and its return to your relationship sector on 22nd November each year, as Mercury and Venus travel with the Sun but not to the same strict timetable, there is often an overlapping of the two, with planets still in your romantic sector when others start returning to your relationship sector. That is the case this year, though with a lot more focus on your relationships and for far longer than is normally the case. Doing her best to keep the spirit of romance alive is Venus, with the planet of love not only leaving your romantic sector on 7th November but ending all planetary activity on the romantic front for the year. As the last planet to return and the last to leave, Venus is not only making the first week of the month the most romantically charged, but she will be working to get the spirit of romance to a point where you can keep it alive on your own. Helping with that will be the Moon’s return to your romantic sector from 15th November to 18th November. Meanwhile, the month not only begins with Mercury, the planet of communication and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment already in your relationship sector, but on 5th November Mars will return for his first visit in two years. While a retrograde turn on 10th November will see Mercury retrograde back out on 19th November, three days before the Sun’s return on 22nd November, he will be back next month for a do over. By then, Mercury will have done what he can to get the communication lines open, while the Sun, Mars and Juno will all be here when Venus, the planet of love returns on 1st December to bring things home.
With the first planets to reach your financial sector this year not arriving until next month and Mercury, held back by a retrograde phase not returning until the New Year, apart from the Moon’s monthly visit, the focus remains on the income side of the financial fence. This is not only much later into the year than is normally the case, but for the first time in 16 years, without having to compete with the other side of the financial fence, where the focus is more on what you do with and how you manage the money you have. However, bringing a chance to check in on money matters will be when the Moon makes its monthly visit to your financial sector from 23rd November to 25th November. While this will see the Moon clash with Jupiter in your income sector as it moves through, it has done this every four weeks since the planet of luck and expansion returned in June to begin your biggest year for income growth and expansion and will continue to until he leaves in June 2026. With all the focus now on the income side of the financial fence, this is key to maintaining the right balance between money coming in and money going out. Meanwhile, while by the time you move into the new month, Jupiter has been in your income sector for nearly five months, he is having one of his best months yet, finding himself in the centre of a major powering up on the income, work and career fronts. Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of November in your work sector, this and Mercury and Mars’ return last month and Venus, the planet of money’s return on 7th November, was always going to see them form a friendly aspect as they moved through. At the same time, Saturn and Neptune, who had left your career sector before Jupiter returned to your income sector, have both retrograded back in. By the time the Moon moves through your income sector from 9th November to 11th November, something that every four weeks can sharpen your nose for money and act as a trigger Venus, the planet of money will be in her early days in your work sector, and Jupiter will be just days away from turning retrograde on 12th November.
