I stopped asking the map. I started asking the road. — Kenneth (on burning the old, limiting, or outdated paths)
Each month when I sit down to write my newsletter, I often get inspiration from images and quotes. Images and quotes help me clarify the message that I believe the planets are telling us that month. March 2026 is about reorientation. February was a crazy, challenging month that brought in, or pointed to, many new ideas, events and connections. It challenged our sense of what we thought we knew and what we thought was real. In so many ways, it changed the landscape of our lives in a profound way.
Now, the astrological energy is about reorientation. The map we thought we could use is no longer working. It’s a lot like when Google Maps goof and mistakenly send travelers to a scary off-highway route. We know that what we now have isn’t working. But where do we go from here?
The answer is in the road. Where do you want to go? What are you willing to give up and what do you need to do in order to get there. Or maybe a side road is more to your liking. It is time to reorient yourself.
Last month had an over-abundance of important transits. Aside from the Virgo Lunar Eclipse and the outer planet transits, the March energy is much quieter. I am actually quite happy with the trines and sextiles and, thus, easier energy of March compared to January and February. Use this quieter time to strengthen your spiritual foundation for the topsy turvy months ahead.
In summary, things you should consider during March 2026:
- Mercury retrograde in Pisces and strong emphasis on the North and South Nodes: Heal old emotional wounds and relationships. Nurture your creative, intuitive and spiritual side.
- Total Virgo Lunar Eclipse: Let go of unrealistic expectations and untruthful rationalizations. Create order and organization in your life. Emphasize your health and consider an overhaul of your exercise and nutrition habits.
- Saturn and Neptune in Aries transited by the Sun: Integrate personal responsibility and common sense with intuition and creativity under this long-term shift in consciousness.
- Blend the strong intuitive energy with strategic action, especially with regard to relationship and financial matters.
February 27: Mercury turns Retrograde at 22 degrees Pisces. Mercury retrograde in Pisces until March 20 allows you to take another look at, and heal or resolve, old emotional wounds and relationship issues. It is also an opportune time to delve deeper into your personal spiritual practice.
March 2: Mars Enters Pisces at 9:15 AM EST. Mars Sesiquiquadrate Jupiter at Zero Degrees Pisces/15 Degrees Cancer. Mars in Pisces until April 9 brings out the desire to embark on a more spiritual path. Your subconscious emotions come to the surface and your intuitive abilities are enhanced. Mars at zero degrees Pisces sesiquiquadrate Jupiter in Cancer calls for an adjustment in how you handle conflict, especially around emotional family issues.
March 3: Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse at 12 Degrees 53 Minutes Virgo. Lunar eclipses are always about letting go and starting a new cycle. This Virgo Lunar Eclipse is about reorganizing your life, letting go of unrealistic expectations and paying more attention to your health and work habits. A Virgo Lunar Eclipse is the perfect energy to follow the hectic February events. It asks you to slow down, evaluate, and to then let go of anything that will keep you from experiencing your best self as you move into the new, active, Mars-focused astrological year.
March 5: Sun Trine Jupiter at 15 Degrees Pisces/Cancer. A sense of optimism and confidence prevails when the Sun is trine Jupiter. The trine in the signs of Pisces and Cancer is excellent for rebuilding emotional bridges and connections with others.
March 6: Venus Enters Aries and Conjuncts Neptune and Saturn. Venus in Aries reactivates the important Saturn/Neptune conjunction at zero degrees Aries. The Saturn/Neptune conjunction was about letting go of unrealistic ideas and dreams and reactivating those ideas and dreams in a realistic, grounded, pragmatic way. Venus softens the Saturn energy and helps you see what it is you really love. Take time now to tune into your true desires.
March 9: Mercury Trine Jupiter at 15 Degrees Pisces/Cancer. Mercury moves very fast, so this is a short-lived, but lovely aspect. Think big. Your optimism now can help you overcome obstacles.
March 11: Jupiter Direct at 15 Degrees Cancer. Jupiter moving direct in Cancer lightens emotional connections and makes it easier to relate to others from a place of empathy. Jupiter will be in Cancer until June 30. Look to the house placement of the sign of Cancer in your natal chart to see where Jupiter will bring optimism and abundance to your life.
March 12: Venus Quincunx South Node at 8 Degrees Aries/Virgo. Venus quincunx the South Node urges you to let go of outworn, no-longer-working methods, especially around love and money. It is a great time to take action (Aries) and to organize (Virgo) your financial matters.
March 13: Mars Conjunct North Node and Opposition South Node at 8 Degrees Pisces/Virgo. Let go of unrealistic expectations so you can take advantage of new opportunities that show up when Mars is conjunct the North Node.
March 15: Mercury Conjunct Mars at 10 Degrees Aries. Though a very short-lived transit, Mercury conjunct Mars brings mental alertness, decisiveness and the ability to accomplish a lot in a short time. You may find yourself, and others, talking more and/or talking faster.
March 18: New Moon at 28 Degrees 27 Minutes Pisces. Venus Square Jupiter at 15 Degrees Aries/Cancer. Take some time to appreciate yourself now. The Virgo Full Moon eclipse made you very aware of your imperfections, whether real or imagined. This Pisces New Moon is a gentle reminder that you are perfect in your imperfections. Contemplate peace for all under this imaginative, creative New Moon in Pisces. Venus square Jupiter adds universal love (Venus) and a sense of thankfulness (Jupiter) to the energy.
This Pisces New Moon will be felt most strongly with those who have personal planets or points from around 24 degrees of the mutual signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces) up to 2 or 3 degrees of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn).
March 20: Sun Enters Aries. March 20: Mercury Stations Direct at 9 Degrees Pisces. The Sun in Aries is at the important zero-degree Aries Point. It will go over the Saturn/Neptune conjunction as it moves forward. The beginning of big changes are set in motion now.
March 21: Mars Trine Jupiter at 15 Degrees Pisces/Cancer. Mars trine Jupiter is an energizing, “lets get it done” aspect. Your confidence is high and you can accomplish a lot under this aspect. Just be careful not to overdo or to create chaos due to your unchecked enthusiasm and/or impatience.
March 22: Sun Conjunct Neptune at 2 Degrees Aries. Let your intuition lead now. Your imagination and creativity are sky high. Record your dreams and ideas. You may be surprised at the insights you now have.
March 24: Venus Sesiquiquadrate South Node at 23 Degrees Aries/Virgo. Romantic and financial matters are unclear now as past influences may be clouding your judgment. If possible, wait a week or two before making any life-changing decisions.
March 25-26: Sun Conjunct Saturn at 4 Degrees Aries. Venus Conjunct Chiron at 25 Degrees Aries. The Sun conjunct Saturn is helpful for steady accomplishment. Aries brings action, while Saturn calms Aries’ impatience and impulsiveness. Venus conjunct Chiron helps you solve hurtful relationship issues.
March 27: Sun Quincunx South Node at 7 Degrees Aries/Virgo. The Sun in Aries quincunx the South Node in Virgo emphasizes the importance of facing the truth. Listen to that still, small voice within, rather than the desire to rationalize any unsettling truths. As the saying goes: “the truth will set you free.”
March 30: Venus Enters Taurus. Venus rules Taurus, so it feels strong and right at home here. Venus in Taurus until April 23 helps you achieve financial stability. Venus in careful Taurus favors slow, but steady, growth in your financial life. Your romantic relationships will also benefit from this helpful Venus transit.

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” ─ Eleanor Roosevelt
The planets are on the move as January brings in the New Year and our aspirations, dreams, wishes and fears shift under the hope for a new and better 2026 calendar year. Several planets change sign during January, which brings a decidedly different energy dynamic as January unfolds.
- Mercury enters Capricorn on January 1
- Venus enters Aquarius on January 17
- Sun enters Aquarius on January 19
- Mercury enters Aquarius on January 20
- Mars enters Aquarius on January 23
- Neptune enters Aries on January 26
- Saturn enters Aries on February 14
If that isn’t enough, we have the Sun, Venus and Mercury moving toward a conjunction with Mars between January 6 and 18, when all four will be in a Capricorn stellium to be joined by the Moon on the 17th.
But wait, there’s more!
Consider that this is a rather rare happening. The last time these four planets were in a Grand Conjunction together was in August 1987, when they were tightly conjunct Jupiter and Neptune (also later joined by the Moon). August 16-17,1987 was the date of the Astrological Harmonic Convergence, the world’s first synchronized global peace meditation. It was expected that the exceptional planetary alignment would bring a great shift in the earth’s energy that would bring healing to the false structures of separation. Though the year 1987 was not all peace and light, it did bring significant political shifts, including President Reagan’s challenge to Russian president Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin wall (the INF Treaty was signed later).
Also noteworthy is the upcoming movement of Neptune and Saturn into Aries. That conjunction marks a major astrological shift affecting all of year 2026. I will discuss this conjunction and other astrological events for the first 6 months of 2026 at my talk at A Spiritual Center at the Third Street Center, Room 31, in Carbondale, CO on February 1 at 10:00 AM. We truly are starting to move into a new energetic realm. I would love to see you then if you are able to attend.
January 1: Mercury Enters Capricorn and Squares Neptune at 29 Degrees Pisces. Mars at 13 Degrees Capricorn Sesiquiquadrate Uranus at 28 Degrees Taurus. Things are not as they seem today. Mercury square Neptune can bring communication confusion or misunderstandings. Mars in unfavorable aspect to Uranus lends a possibility of anger, danger or accidental events. Thankfully, this aspect will only last a day or two.
January 3: Full Moon at 13 Degrees Cancer. Sun, Venus and Mars Conjunct at 12-14 Degrees Capricorn Sesiquiquadrate Uranus at 28 Degrees Taurus. The Full Moon in Cancer is an exceptionally emotional Moon that favors internal reflection and the willingness to let go of those people and places that no longer bring you joy. Conversely, this Moon favors spending time with family and friends that nurture you and give you a sense of security. The Sun, Venus and Mars sesiquiquadrate Uranus brings a touch of unease and rebelliousness that helps you make the needed changes.
January 9-10: Sun, Venus, and Mars Conjunct at 19-20 Capricorn Opposition Jupiter at 21 Degrees Cancer. A Venus and Mars conjunction is considered auspicious, as it brings passion and creativity to all your endeavors and heightens romance. The Sun enhances that creativity, while the opposition to Jupiter is a cautionary signal to not overdo the passionate Sun, Venus, Mars energy.
January 12-13: Sun and Mars at 22 Degrees Capricorn Square Chiron at 22 Degrees Aries. Your ambition and sense of self are amplified when the Sun and Mars are in Capricorn. The square to Chiron in Aries triggers old false stories of “do I really dare to think I could have that?” This is a good time to throw off old shackles of doubt.
January 15: Venus at 27 Degrees Capricorn Trine Uranus at 27 Taurus and Sextile Saturn at 27 Pisces. Venus trine Uranus sometimes brings an exciting, creative project or an encounter with someone unusual. Venus sextile Saturn helps you realistically evaluate any new opportunities or relationships.
January 17: Venus Enters Aquarius. Sun Sextile Saturn at 27 Degrees Capricorn/Pisces. Sun Trine Uranus at 27 Degrees Capricorn/Taurus. Venus in Aquarius until the end of February broadens your relationship and friendship horizons. You may feel more open-minded and will seek out new friends that are different or are mentally stimulating. Your desire to help others and your creative vision expands into unknown venues or subjects.
January 18: New Moon at 29 Degrees Capricorn at 2:51 PM EST. I love the symbolism of the New Moon in the last degree of Capricorn that includes a rolling stellium composed of Mars, Mercury, Venus and Pluto (Venus and Pluto in Aquarius). The old, traditional way of thinking (Capricorn) is making way for the startling new energy of Aquarius. Also note, Saturn direct is moving towards its history-making conjunction with Neptune that will happen on February 14, 2026. It is time to dream a new future (Neptune) with boundaries and guidelines to protect you (Saturn and Capricorn stellium).
January 19: Sun Sextile Neptune at 29 Degrees Capricorn/Pisces. Sun Enters Aquarius at 8:44 PM EST. Venus Conjunct Pluto at 3 Degrees Aquarius. There is mixed bag of energies today. The Sun sextile Neptune expands your creative, compassionate and spiritual vision. However, Venus conjunct Pluto sometimes leads to disagreements and power struggles with those around you. Spend more time doing creative endeavors and less time trying to oversee what others are doing and this should be a happy, productive time.
January 20: Saturn Sextile Uranus at 27 Degrees Pisces/Taurus. Mars at 27 Degrees Capricorn, Trine Uranus at 27 Taurus and Mars Sextile Saturn at 27 Degrees Pisces. Uranus is activated by both Saturn and Mars, which is a bit of conflicting energy. Saturn urges caution on making changes too fast, while Mars says, “go, go, go” Overall, this is a helpful transit as it favors more action with less mindless reaction.
January 21: Sun, Mercury and Pluto Conjunct at 1-3 Degrees Aquarius. The Sun, Mercury and Pluto conjunct in the early degrees of Aquarius are a potent reminder that a new identify change (Sun), a new way of thinking and talking (Mercury) and the power to make unprecedented changes are moving into the spotlight. We must now adapt to the new energy or be left behind.
January 23: Mars Enters Aquarius. Mars Sextile Neptune. Sun Conjunct Pluto at 3 Degrees Aquarius. Mars in Aquarius until March 2nd, fires up innovative thinking, humanitarian efforts and a desire to throw off old restrictions. Aquarius is the sign of freedom and when energized by Mars, the planet of action, expect unexpected breakthroughs and discoveries. You may be feeling more rebellious at this time.
January 26: Neptune Enters Aries. Neptune retrograded back into Pisces through most of the fall months. Now, as it moves into Aries, it is starting a new 14-year cycle. Neptune loved being in Pisces, its home sign, but it was mostly acting behind the scenes. Now in Aries, Neptune is forced to make itself known in a more straight-forward and aggressive way. This is a time of spiritual idealism (Neptune) combined with fiery action (Aries). Beginning now, and during the next 14 years, is the time to turn your dreams into reality. Let go of fuzzy thinking and excuses and proceed boldly. However, you do need to be careful not to act without thinking.
January 27: Mars Conjunct Pluto at 3 Degrees Aquarius. Venus at 15 Degrees Aquarius Sesiquiquadrate Saturn at 28 Degrees Pisces. Mars conjunct Pluto brings an abundance of energy and intensity. Be careful that you direct your efforts into positive pursuits rather than questionable aggressive and/or controlling activities.

“Keep your face always toward the sunshine ~ and shadows will fall behind you” – Walt Whitman.
Walt Witman’s quote above, certainly describes the December astrological energy. We are in the darkest part of the year (if you live in the northern hemisphere), yet the days slowly begin to get longer after the solstice on December 21.
In addition, the Sun in Sagittarius until December 21 puts the focus on all things related to Sagittarius and its ruler, Jupiter. Key words for Sagittarius (and Jupiter) are optimism, adventure, philosophy, expansion and faith. You are challenged now to look at where you have been limiting yourself. Are the boundaries real, or only a false front born out of fear.
Long distance travel, higher education, philosophy and religion are associated with this sign because they all open up new horizons and new ways of thinking.
Use this time to assess your life and where you are unnecessarily holding yourself back. When the Sun moves into Capricorn on the 21st, you will be asked to make those new understandings real and concrete.
December 1: Sun at 10 Degrees Sagittarius Sesiquiquadrate Jupiter at 25 Degrees Capricorn. Discipline is required when the Sun is sesiquiquadrate Jupiter. Over confidence and a spike in energy may have you starting too many things without finishing any of them. Better to use the gift of Jupiter energy to finish only what you can easily handle.
December 4: Full Moon at 13 Degrees 3 Minutes Gemini Square North Node in Pisces and South Node in Virgo. The Sabian symbol for this Gemini Full Moon is especially appropriate:
“Two people at widely different points, are in conversation with each other by means of telepathy.”
The Moon in Gemini is a very chatty Moon that loves to communicate. The North Node in Pisces brings a heightened sense of intuition and makes telepathy easier, while the South Node in Virgo keeps you grounded in reality. The Sun in Sagittarius facilitates travel of all kinds, even mental travel. This Full Moon in Gemini would be a good time to connect, by whatever means, with those you have lost touch with.
December 5: Mars Trine Chiron at 22 Degrees Sagittarius/Aries. When Mars, the planet of war and strife is trine Chiron, the wounded healer, it is an excellent time to heal rifts and to mend problematic relationships. However, you will need to keep your impatience in check with both Mars and Chiron in fire signs.
December 7: Mercury Trine Saturn at 25 Degrees Scorpio/Pisces. Venus at 8 Degrees Sagittarius Sesiquiquadrate Jupiter at 25 Degrees Cancer. Keep your focus on organization and rational thinking when Mercury is trine Saturn. Venus sesiquiquadrate Jupiter easily leads to distraction and wishful thinking. Let yourself dream a little, but only about those things that have a practical foundation. Mercury and Venus both move fast so these are short-lived aspects.
December 7-8: Mars Quincunx Jupiter at 24 Degrees Sagittarius/Cancer. Mars Square Saturn at 25 Degrees Sagittarius/Pisces. Mars quincunx Jupiter and Mars square Saturn have the flavor of stepping on the gas ((Mars/Jupiter), while stepping on the brakes (Mars/Saturn). That would not be good for your car and it isn’t good for your health and equilibrium either. The possibility of conflict is high. Slow down, take a big breath, practice patience and direct your energy into positive endeavors.
December 10: Neptune Turns Direct. Mercury at 28 Degrees Scorpio Opposition Uranus at 28 Degrees Taurus RX. Mercury Enters Sagittarius. Mercury Trine Neptune at 0 Degrees Sagittarius/Pisces. Neptune has been retrograde since July 4, 2025. Retrograde Neptune can fog your thinking, hide the truth and emphasize your fears and anxieties. Now that the Sun is in Sagittarius and Neptune is moving direct, we will have more clarity and less confusion. Hidden truths may become known. Watch the news over the next few months for the truth to finally surface regarding various political matters.
December 13: Mars Quincunx Uranus at 28 Degrees Sagittarius/Taurus. Mars quincunx Uranus is potentially a rather explosive aspect requiring action and adjustment. Uranus in Taurus speaks to your values and your sense of security, while Mars in Sagittarius speaks to opening your mind to new possibilities. Ask yourself: “Am I too stuck in old attitudes or ways of doing things; or would it be more beneficial to adjust (quincunx) my attitudes (Sagittarius)?”
December 14: Sun Quincunx Jupiter at 23 Degrees Sagittarius/Cancer. Mars Square Neptune at 29 Degrees Sagittarius/Pisces. Proceed with care and thoughtfulness today. The Sun quincunx Jupiter amplifies expectations, while Mars square Neptune pushes you to act without having all the facts. At the same time, Mars square Neptune depletes your energy.
December 15-16: Mars Enters Capricorn. Your ambition is ramped up and you could tend to be a little bossy and impatient when Mars is in Capricorn until January 24, 2026. However, if you harness this exuberant Mars energy, you can accomplish a lot during this time period. Steady and methodical is the way to go for considerable accomplishment.
December 16: Sun Square Saturn at 25 Degrees Sagittarius/Pisces. The Sun square Saturn aspect is felt as an internal conflict between your ego-self (Sun) and Saturn’s requirements for discipline, restriction and responsibility. You may feel that your goals are being blocked, which leads to a feeling of frustration and victimhood. Instead of giving into frustration and depression, use the time between December 13 and December 19 to make conscious, deliberate choices and plans.
December 18: Venus Quincunx Jupiter at 22 Degrees Sagittarius/Cancer. When the two most helpful planets, Jupiter and Venus, connect in a quincunx aspect, it often brings a mild sense of unease, with the need to make improvements. Any changes made under this helpful aspect will most likely be beneficial.
December 19: New Moon at 28 Degrees Sagittarius. Sun Quincunx Uranus at 28 Degrees Sagittarius/Taurus. There is a lot of excitement in the air under this Sagittarius New Moon. Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius brings a sense of optimism, adventure and the desire to seek new knowledge, truth and meaning. The mind is active and craves stimulation when the Sun is quincunx Uranus.
December 20: Sun Square Neptune at 29 Degrees Sagittarius/Pisces. Plan on taking it easy when the Sun is square Neptune. Your energy level may be low and you may be feeling somewhat discouraged and beaten up by life. This would be a good time to rethink your ideals and goals as you may have unrealistic expectations of yourself. When the Sun moves into Capricorn tomorrow, you will find it easier to once again enter achievement mode.
December 21: December 21: Sun Enters Capricorn at 10:03 AM EST. Venus Square Saturn at 26 Degrees Sagittarius/Pisces. Jupiter Square Chiron at 22 Degrees Cancer/Aries. The Sun enters Capricorn today, marking the winter solstice and ushering in a more grounded, goal-oriented, serious, traditional outlook. Venus square Saturn is a call to be realistic regarding love, money and relationships. It is good to examine such matters, but be careful not to over analyze and disparage yourself or others. Jupiter square Chiron brings healing energy and a sense of optimism. You might want to spend some time alone to recapture your equilibrium.
December 23-24: Venus Quincunx Uranus at 28 Degrees Sagittarius/Taurus. Venus Square Neptune at 29 Degrees Sagittarius/Pisces. You may experience a mild sense of unease and restlessness now due to the desire for more excitement and adventure (Uranus and Sagittarius). Venus square Neptune may bring unrealistic expectations in money or romantic matters. However, artistic endeavors are favored now.
December 24: Venus Enters Capricorn.
December 27: Mercury Trine Chiron at 22 Degrees Sagittarius/Aries. Listen to your heart and use your insights to heal your mind, body and emotions.
December 31: Moon Enters Gemini at 8:13 AM EST. New Year’s Eve features a Gemini Moon and a rolling stellium of Venus, Sun and Mars in Capricorn. There should be plenty of conversation (Mercury), action (Mars) and good times (Sun) with these planes mingling together. I also like that the three planets are in the serious sign of Capricorn. That would indicate an enjoyable, but sensible, New Year celebration without overindulgence or getting too crazy (Capricorn). Enjoy!

Things falling apart is a kind of testing and also a kind of healing. We think that the point is to pass the test or to overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don’t really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Then they come together again and fall apart again. It’s just like that. The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy. ─ Pema Chodron, When Things Fall Apart.
November begins with the emphasis in the sign of Scorpio. We are asked to wade through the deep, dense, emotional, mysterious waters of Scorpio. The shift from the polite, balanced, nice, more superficial Libran energy into the darker sojourn into our shadow side can be upsetting and scary at first. However, it is part of our life journey. As the Pema Chodron quote above states, the healing comes from letting things come together and also letting them fall part again. Scorpio is the sign of transformation ─ moving from a stagnant position to a whole new realm of being.
One of the reasons I love astrology is that it helps us see that nothing lasts forever. Even when we are going through really rough times, we can look ahead and see when things will shift towards an easier, more joyful time. I remember many years ago when Pluto transited my Sun. Pluto transiting your Sun, Moon or ascendant is a time of deep transformation. Necessary, but usually not fun. In the depths of despair, I looked ahead and saw that Pluto would be transiting my Sun for around two years. Two years seems like a really long time. However, it gave me hope, because I knew that I could stand it for two years by getting through one day at a time. Then, like clockwork, everything began to ease and hope and optimism returned. My life was better than ever and has remained so through the ongoing ups and owns that is called “life.”
The Sun is in Pluto’s realm (Scorpio) from October 23 through November 22, along with Venus after November 7, and also Mercury as it retrogrades back into Scorpio on November 18. Use this Scorpio energy for your personal Hero’s Journey. The alchemical Scorpio energy will assist in exposing unhelpful attitudes and self-destructive behavior. It excels in bringing things to light so they can be transmuted into a more light-filled way of being.
November 2-3: Sun at 10 Degrees Scorpio Sesiquiquadrate Saturn at 25 Degrees Pisces. Venus Opposition Chiron at 24 Degrees Libra/Aries. Venus Square Jupiter at 25 Degrees Libra/Cancer. Venus Quincunx Saturn at 25 Degrees Libra/Pisces. Mars Trine Neptune at 29 Degrees Scorpio/Pisces. There is a lot going on in the sky the first week in November. The Sun in a harsh aspect to Saturn reminds us to honor our responsibilities. Then, Venus’ connection to Chiron, Jupiter and Saturn urges us to move beyond old issues (Chiron), but to do so in a serious (Saturn), yet optimistic way (Jupiter). It is an excellent time to make those tough decisions that you have been putting off.
November 4: Mars Enters Sagittarius and Opposes Uranus at 0 Degrees Sagittarius/Gemini. Mars in Sagittarius brings out your competitive warrior spirit. Mars opposition Uranus sparks an active, rebellious, adventuresome dynamic. Mars opposition Uranus brings energy and inspiration, but also impulsiveness. Be careful not to scatter your energy and to think before you act.
November 5-6: Full Moon at 12 Degrees Taurus.
Sun at 14 Scorpio Sesiquiquadrate Neptune at 29 Degrees Pisces.
Venus Quincunx Neptune at 29 Degrees Libra/Pisces.
Venus enters Scorpio at 6:39 PM EST
Venus Quincunx Uranus at 0 Degrees Scorpio/Gemini.
This Full Moon in Taurus has a distinct Venusian flavor, because the sign of Taurus is ruled by Venus. Venus in the Full Moon chart is quincunx Neptune, bringing a nebulous, spiritual quality to the practical Taurus Full Moon. Use this energy to re-evaluate your finances. Ask yourself: Is my financial life in tune with my spiritual aspirations and goals? Taurus is a Venus-ruled sign that puts the spotlight on relationships, security, finances and nature. Every Full Moon is a time of letting go of the mental, emotional and physical clutter of the previous 30 days. Use this time to evaluate your financial holdings, your value system, and your relationship to Mother Nature.
November 7: Venus Square Pluto at 1 Degree Scorpio/Aquarius. Uranus Retrogrades Back into Taurus. Your interactions with others may feel more intense when Venus is square Pluto. You may also become more aware of the imperfections of those around you. Use this time to change what can be changed and to accept the rest. However, major relationship issues will need to be addressed when the planet of love (Venus) meets the planet of transformation (Pluto).
November 9: Mercury Retrograde at 6 Degrees Sagiottarius. Mercury turns retrograde in Sagittarius. It will move back into Scorpio on November 19 and finally turns direct on November 29 at 20 degrees Scorpio.
November 11: Jupiter Retrograde at 25 Degrees Cancer. Jupiter retrograde in Cancer gives you a chance to re-evaluate your familty connections and to re-assess how you nurture others and how you wish to be nurtured. You might want to look at any imbalances in how your family perceives you versus your true self. Jupiter here asks the question: “How have I underestimated myself?” Jupiter resumes forward motion on March 12, 2026,
November 17: Grand Trine with Sun at 25 Degrees Scorpio Trine Jupiter at 25 Degrees Cancer and Saturn at 25 Degrees Pisces. You should be able to accomplish a lot under this Grand Trine of Sun, Jupiter and Saturn. The Sun furnishes energy, Jupiter brings optimism and Saturn brings responsibility and the desire to stick to the task until completed.
