Updated: Nov 1
November opens like a deep inhale, cool and fragrant with endings. The leaves fall, but what
they reveal is not emptiness, it is essence. This month carries a sacred tension between rest
and renewal, asking us to soften into transformation while staying awake to the quiet magic
still unfolding within. Every movement in the sky mirrors this balance, the blend of flame and shadow, stillness and emergence. It is not a month of rushing forward, but of walking with purpose through the changing light.
The Month Begins : Fire in the Horizon.
As Mars enters Sagittarius on November 4th, the pulse of movement returns. After long
inner labor, action begins to stir again, not the frantic kind, but the meaningful kind, born
of conviction. There is energy here for visioning, for beginning again with clarity, for setting
your aim toward something your soul truly believes in.
But the next night, the Full Moon in Taurus on November 5th calls us to ground our growth
in what is tangible and nourishing. The cosmos balances ambition with embodiment,
reminding us that we cannot grow from depletion. Let this moon soften your grasp on what
you can no longer carry.
Venus enters Scorpio on November 6th, deepening the waters of love and connection. It is
not a surface tide, but a current that moves beneath the skin, where intimacy meets honesty
and desire becomes a mirror for truth.
When Uranus leaves Gemini on November 7th and moves to Taurus, the mental static of
recent months begins to ease. Disruptions give way to clarity, and the mind exhales.
Mercury turns retrograde on November 9th in Sagittarius, beginning a journey
of reconsideration. Words, ideas, and directions may blur, inviting reflection rather than
reaction. It is a time to listen between the lines, to pause before you speak, to see where
silence holds more truth than language.
The Turning Inward : The 11/11 Portal.
Then, on November 11th, something ancient stirs. The sky forms what many call the 11/11
Portal Gateway, a moment where the numeric rhythm itself becomes a symbol of alignment between seen and unseen, human and divine. It is a doorway of remembrance, and one of the most important Numerological dates of each year, a breath between timelines, a call to stand
in the exact center of who you are becoming.
This year, the 11/11 Portal it arrives hand in hand with Jupiter retrograde in Cancer, turning
the energy of expansion inward. Instead of reaching outward for more, the cosmos invites
you to redefine abundance, not as accumulation, but as awareness. The portal whispers,
growth is not always addition, sometimes it is presence. Here, the heart learns the language
of stillness. Here, you might sense the soft hum of your own becoming.
Midmonth : Light on the Hidden.
On November 12th, Mercury meets Mars in Sagittarius, and words carry fire. Speak gently,
move consciously, for the tongue holds power in these days.
On November 15th, the Sun in Scorpio trines Jupiter in Cancer, continuing the work of the
Grand Water Trine that started in mid October. This opens the gates of emotional
wisdom and belonging. Together they create a harmony that softens what has been guarded.
By November 18th, the Sun aligns with Lilith, illuminating the wild unseen self. What has
been hidden in shadow begins to rise, not for judgment but for integration. This is where
the soul reclaims the parts it once exiled.
Between then and the next day, November 18th/19th Mercury moves back in retrograde
motion into the deep dark waters of Scorpio, revisiting our deep lessons and inner growth.
Then, on November 20th, the New Moon in Scorpio opens the underworld gates of renewal.
It is a night of depth and rebirth, of planting seeds in fertile darkness. The Sun conjunct
Mercury on the same day creating a Cazimi, invites clear intention, to align heart, mind,
and spirit before stepping forward. Mercury will be opposing Uranus in Taurus on the
same day.
The Turning of Light : Toward Vision.
November 21st brings Mercury conjunct Lilith, and truths once unspoken may surface.
Listen with courage, even if the words are imperfect.
The Sun moves into Sagittarius on November 22nd, and the horizon brightens. Hope
returns, carrying the scent of possibility.
November 24th, Venus in Scorpio trines Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn and Neptune in Pisces,
Venus meets the wisdom of Jupiter, the patience of Saturn, and the vision of Neptune,
reminding us that devotion can be both boundless and beautifully grounded.
Mercury and Venus unite on November 25th, harmonizing communication and affection.
This is a tender window for rewriting the stories of love, the ones within you and the ones
you share.
Saturn turns direct in Pisces on November 28th, offering structure to your dreams again.
What was delayed finds meaning in the waiting. The same day, Venus joins Lilith, dissolving
old masks around desire and intimacy. Love becomes more real, more honest, more human.
The following day, Mercury turns direct on November 29th in Scorpio, and the inner fog
begins to lift. Clarity returns, though softly, as though spoken by candlelight.
And finally, on November 30th, Venus enters Sagittarius, opening the heart once more
to adventure. Love wants to move, to breathe, to explore the unknown with wonder.
The Closing Flame.
November is a teacher of thresholds. It asks for courage in stillness, presence in
uncertainty, faith in the unseen. This is not a month to seek answers outside yourself,
but to tend the small steady light that lives within.
Each alignment, each retrograde, each portal opens a doorway back to what matters.
The cosmos does not demand progress, it offers reflection. It reminds us that the fire
we seek in the heavens is the same flame that burns quietly in our own heart.
May this November guide you to walk with gentleness through every unfolding, to listen
to what your soul is truly asking for, and to remember that even in the dimmest light,
you are growing.
Much love to all, Valentina.
