November 10th - 16th, 2025
The astrology for this week of November 10th through the 16th of 2025 eases the intensity of the prior week, though the cosmic atmosphere still requires discernment and steadiness.
Mercury’s retrograde continues, coloring perception and pacing with review, revision, and reflection. The Water Grand Trine by Sign remains active, emphasizing emotion, intuition, and the undercurrents of feeling. Depth runs everywhere — and while sensitivity can heighten awareness, it can also invite anxiety and projection if we’re not grounded.
This is not a week for rushing. With Jupiter joining the retrograde parade — alongside Mercury, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune — five planets now move in apparent reversal. Life feels as if we are swimming upstream, revisiting old patterns, and clearing out what’s unresolved. Forward momentum can stall, but these pauses are purposeful; the retrograde rhythm helps us rework the foundation before new structures arise.
We do well to keep our focus on what’s practical, tangible, and immediately necessary. Daily responsibilities, simple routines, and grounded care will stabilize us. Flights of imagination and dramatic “what ifs” could lead us astray or drain our energy into illusory detours. By week’s end, faith and humor become the balm that restores balance. A reminder surfaces again and again: life’s mystery is not meant to be solved — only honored, with grace and perspective.
Monday, November 10th – Calm Before the Storm – Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, Moon Void-of-Course, Mars, Lunar T-Square, Pluto, Venus. Monday begins the day with the Moon finishing its transit of Cancer with the Cancer Moon conjunct Jupiter, the Moon trine both Saturn and Neptune both in Pisces, and the Moon sextile Uranus. The Moon then briefly goes Void-of-Course for eleven minutes [12:23 PM EST – 12:34 PM EST] with the Moon making no further connections to the planets before the Moon enters Leo where the Leo Moon today trines Mars and the Moon triggers a Fixed Sign T-Square with the Moon opposed Pluto and the Moon square Venus. The three transcendental planets are engaged and by Sign the Water Grand Trine is still influencing us.
Tone: Fluid early, tense later, paradoxical.
Background: Cancer Moon trines Saturn and Neptune, sextiles Uranus, and conjuncts Jupiter; then Void-of-Course before entering Leo with the Leo Moon trine Mars, then forms a Fixed T-Square with Pluto and Venus.
Best Practices: Flow gently through morning hours, handle domestic or emotional matters early, and conserve energy for the afternoon’s more volatile influences.
Pitfalls: Emotional overreaction, power struggles, clashing egos, or inflated self-importance.
How to Use It: The day unfolds in two acts — a morning of emotional quietude and reflection, followed by an afternoon of heightened drama. Tend to inner peace early and avoid unnecessary conflict later. As Mercury’s retrograde rhythm settles in, accept slower pacing and grant patience — both to yourself and others. Big gestures and declarations can backfire; subtlety carries the day.
Tuesday, November 11th – Wind Out of the Sails – Mercury, Jupiter retrograde. Tuesday continues with the Leo Moon with the Moon trine Mercury in the early morning hours. Jupiter turns retrograde [11:41 AM EST].
Tone: Slowed, introspective, recalibrating.
Background: Leo Moon trines Mercury; Jupiter turns retrograde, joining Mercury, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune in a retrograde parade.
Best Practices: Embrace stillness, focus on finishing what’s already in motion, and allow space for rest or reflection.
Pitfalls: Victim mentality, frustration with delays, emotional self-doubt, or slipping into pessimism.
How to Use It: This is a day for reassessment rather than action. If things feel sluggish or “off,” recognize it as the cosmos’ invitation to realign rather than resist. Review old projects, revisit past ideas, and identify loose ends that require closure. Let retrospection become empowerment. The slowdown reminds us that progress is not always linear — and that refinement often precedes renewal.
Wednesday, November 12th – Humility Called For – Lunar T-Square, Sun, Uranus, Moon Void-of-Course, Mercury, Mars. Wednesday has the Moon finishing its transit of Leo with the Leo Moon today triggering a Fixed Sign T-Square with the Moon square the Sun in Scorpio and the Moon square Uranus in Taurus. The Moon then briefly goes Void-of-Course for twenty-three minutes [6:29 PM EST – 6:52 PM EST] with the Moon making no further connections to the planets as the Moon completes its transit of Leo and before the Moon enters Virgo late in the day. Mercury conjuncts Mars.
Tone: Reactive early, humbling late, revealing.
Background: Leo Moon squares the Sun and Uranus [Fixed T-Square]; Mercury conjuncts Mars with Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius.
Best Practices: Step lightly, think before speaking, double-check assumptions, and stay flexible.
Pitfalls: Arrogance, impulsivity, overreach, and clashes with authority or unexpected disruptions.
How to Use It: This day demands vigilance and humility. Impulses may rise under tension, but rash reactions could summon consequences. Mercury’s retrograde conjunction with Mars amplifies urgency but distorts clarity. Instead of forcing outcomes, pause and observe. The cosmic lesson is clear: when we push too hard, the universe pushes back. Step away, reset, and allow perspective to unfold organically.
Thursday, November 13th – Hasty, Wasty – Mercury, Mars, Venus. Thursday continues with the Virgo Moon with the Moon today square both Mercury and Mars both in Sagittarius and the Moon sextile Venus.
Tone: Overzealous, scattered, excitable.
Background: Virgo Moon squares Mercury and Mars in Sagittarius, then sextiles Venus.
Best Practices: Prioritize tasks, slow the tempo, enlist a trusted ally for perspective.
Pitfalls: Overexertion, carelessness, wasted effort, overspending, or acting from nervous energy.
How to Use It: The day tempts us to rush through everything at once. Resist the urge to multitask or force progress. Mercury retrograde distorts timing, so slow precision beats hurried improvisation. Align intentions with practical action. A touch of Venus softens the mood, helping to smooth frayed edges — a reminder that kindness and patience create far better results than pressure or haste.
Friday, November 14th – Carried Away – Sun, Jupiter, Saturn. Friday continues the Moon’s transit through Virgo with the Virgo Moon sextile the Sun in Scorpio, the Moon sextile Jupiter in Cancer, and the Moon opposed Saturn.
Tone: Indulgent, emotional, expansive but unsteady.
Background: Virgo Moon sextiles Sun and Jupiter, opposes Saturn.
Best Practices: Practice moderation, manage expectations, and remain mindful of limits.
Pitfalls: Overindulgence, emotional shopping, excess spending, overpromising.
How to Use It: Emotional comfort-seeking can steer us toward indulgence — whether with food, spending, or escapism. Recognize the impulse without judgment, and instead nurture yourself through simplicity and gratitude. This is a day to appreciate rather than accumulate. Allow restraint to coexist with pleasure; balance keeps abundance from becoming depletion.
Saturday, November 15th – Beyond the Familiar – Neptune, Uranus, Moon Void-of-Course, Pluto, Mercury, Mars. Saturday begins with the Moon finishing its transit of Virgo with the Virgo Moon in the early morning hours opposed Neptune and the Moon trine Uranus. The Moon then goes Void-of-Course for thirty-six minutes [4:08 AM EST – 4:44 AM EST] as the Moon completes is transit of Virgo and before the Moon enters Libra where our waking hours have the Libra Moon trine Pluto and the Moon sextile both Mercury and Mars both in Sagittarius.
Tone: Liberating, cleansing, perspective-shifting.
Background: Virgo Moon opposes Neptune, trines Uranus, then enters Libra; Libra Moon trines Pluto and sextiles Mercury and Mars.
Best Practices: Purge emotional residue, share openly with trusted allies, explore new experiences.
Pitfalls: Rehashing guilt, clinging to control, resisting change, or staying stuck in old stories.
How to Use It: After a week of inner work and review, the energy shifts toward renewal. The morning’s aspect encourages release and self-forgiveness, while the Libra Moon promotes connection and perspective. This is an ideal day to refresh your environment or your outlook. Step outside routine, visit a new place, or engage a different conversation. Transformation begins when curiosity outweighs fear.
Sunday, November 16th – And on the Seventh Day – Sun, Jupiter. Sunday continues with the Moon’s transit through Libra but with the Libra Moon making no connections to the planets. The Sun trines Jupiter.
Tone: Restorative, faithful, reflective.
Background: Libra Moon quiet; Sun trines Jupiter.
Best Practices: Rest, restore, meditate, engage gratitude, reaffirm trust in the unseen order.
Pitfalls: Overthinking, forcing clarity, losing faith due to outer uncertainty.
How to Use It: This gentle Sunday brings a breath of calm. The Sun–Jupiter trine restores optimism and faith in the larger pattern unfolding. Set aside control and rest in gratitude. The Japanese philosophy of Wabi-sabi — the perfection of imperfection — offers the day’s wisdom: life is not meant to be mastered, only partnered with. In the stillness, peace reveals itself.
Final Note:
This week unfolds as a slow unfurling — a bridge between the turbulence of last week and the quiet grace of acceptance. Retrogrades pull our attention backward, inviting integration over innovation. Frustration yields to humility, speed to simplicity, noise to inner voice. Through recalibration, patience, and awareness, we regain balance.
In the end, the week whispers a timeless reminder: we are not meant to force the rhythm of life, only to move in concert with it. Even in apparent delay, divine timing is at work — refining, shaping, and gently preparing us for what comes next.
