November 2025: Astrology Insights for Entrepreneurs
Astrology Business Outlook
The astrology business outlook is a monthly astrological snapshot of the sky, written for entrepreneurs, creatives, and service-based business owners who care about timing, energy, and how those rhythms shape their work. The information in this blog is designed to inform decision-making, enhance productivity, and make strategic choices in your work.
November’s astrology emphasizes reflection and focus. Mercury’s retrograde cycle invites review and editing before focusing on forward progress, while Saturn’s direct motion at month’s end begins to solidify what has been in development since midyear.
The Scorpio New Moon on November 20 supports concentration and follow-through on meaningful goals, while Jupiter’s retrograde in Cancer encourages growth that feels secure and sustainable. As the Sun moves into Sagittarius later in November, attention shifts toward planning, vision, and the broader direction for 2026.
Quick Navigation: Sections at a Glance
Here’s a quick overview of what’s included, so you can jump straight to the sections that interest you most.
Moon Phases and Timing in November 2025
The Moon Phases in November
The Moon’s phases create natural checkpoints for small business owners to align with the flow of time. Each stage in the lunar cycle (first quarter, full moon, last quarter, new moon) offers a chance to initiate, pause, assess progress, and reset priorities. These rhythms can be especially helpful for project timing, collaborations, and personal well-being, serving as reminders to initiate, assess, refine, and reset.
The Moon and Moon Phases
The Moon is out of bounds from November 6 to 11 and from November 19 to 25 this month, amplifying emotional intensity and creative responses during those periods. Notice how you handle timing, clients, and communication during these windows, as emotional reactions may surface more quickly than usual and may be more over the top than expected.
🌕 Full Moon in Taurus: November 5
The Full Moon at 13 degrees Taurus opposes the Sun in Scorpio. Taurus grounds focus on stability, financial security, and tangible progress, while Scorpio draws attention to emotional depth and the unseen dynamics within business partnerships or client work. Balance comes through honoring both, trusting practical systems while staying attuned to underlying motives and meaning.
🌗 Third Quarter Moon: November 12
The waning Moon in Leo squares the Sun in Scorpio. This is the action phase that brings closure to goals set under last month’s Libra New Moon. Tie up loose ends, share creative work, or bring attention to leadership areas that require follow-through before the next cycle begins.
🌑 New Moon in Scorpio: November 20
The New Moon at 28 degrees Scorpio marks a time to concentrate your efforts. Scorpio’s energy supports deep focus, research, and depth work. Choose one area of business that needs a deep dive, such as creating a new course, compiling data for a pitch, or researching material for a new book, and dedicate energy to developing it.
🌓 First Quarter Moon: November 28
The First Quarter Moon in Pisces squares the Sun in Sagittarius, blending imagination with momentum. Revisit your Scorpio New Moon goals and take creative steps toward them. Visionary thinking and flexibility can open new paths for growth as the month closes.
Retrograde Cycles in November
Retrogrades highlight times for review, reflection, and realignment. For business owners, they can bring opportunities to revisit systems, catch small problems before they become big ones, and recheck past progress before moving forward.
Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius and Scorpio
This Mercury Retrograde, from Sagittarius back into Scorpio, blends big-picture thinking with investigative focus. Use this period to reassess goals, revisit data, and resolve miscommunications before launching new projects in December.
Pre-shadow begins: October 21, Scorpio 20 degrees
Retrograde: November 9, Sagittarius 6 degrees
Direct: November 29, Scorpio 20 degrees
Post-shadow ends: December 17, Sagittarius 6 degrees
Degrees of Retrograde: 6 Sagittarius to 20 Scorpio
Jupiter Retrograde in Cancer
Jupiter stations retrograde on November 11 at 25 degrees Cancer and remains retrograde until March 11, 2026. Growth turns inward, encouraging review of what growth will bring the most inner satisfaction and security. Strengthen what nourishes your business so future expansion feels grounded and sustainable.
Saturn Retrograde in Pisces
Saturn continues its retrograde in Pisces through most of November and stations direct on November 27 at 25 degrees Pisces. The next few months are the final stretch of Saturn’s lessons in Pisces before its move back into Aries in February 2026. The focus now is approaching structural and organizational work with fluidity and adaptability that supports long-term goals, transforming vision into form.
Uranus Retrograde in Taurus
Uranus retrogrades from Gemini back into 29 degrees Taurus on November 7 and continues retrograde there through the month. This period revisits the Taurus themes that have been active since 2018, emphasizing steady progress and reevaluation of systems connected to stability and resources.
The focus now is on integrating lessons learned as Uranus revisits Taurus, highlighting the balance between innovation and dependability. This retrograde phase continues the integration between practical foundations and new ideas that began when Uranus first entered Gemini in July.
Neptune Retrograde in Pisces
Neptune remains retrograde in late Pisces through November after re-entering the sign on October 22. This phase continues the long Pisces work: distilling vision and imagination into practices you can sustain, with Saturn nearby emphasizing structure. Neptune stations direct on December 9, 2025, in Pisces and returns to Aries in late January 2026.
Chiron Retrograde in Aries
Chiron remains retrograde through the end of the year, encouraging reflection on healing past wounds, reframing past hurts, and re-evaluating self-healing practices. Ongoing self-awareness around these themes supports greater resilience in business relationships and client work.
The Sun and Personal Planets: November 2025
Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn
The personal planets describe the everyday forces you work with most directly. They shape mindset, motivation, relationships, and the rhythm of daily life. By watching how these planets move and connect each month, you can align decisions and actions with the astrological planets in your business and personal growth.
How the personal planets interact with your own birth chart shows the unique way these cycles play out for you. A consultation can reveal how current movements connect with your business timing, relationships, and opportunities, giving you personalized insight beyond the general outlook.
Sun: Central guidance and vitality, showing where focus naturally flows.
Moon: Emotional needs, instincts, and how you respond to change.
Mercury: Communication, thinking, technology, learning, and decision-making.
Venus: Relationships, money flow, attraction, values, and harmony.
Mars: Drive, effort, physical action, and how you get things done.
Jupiter: Expansion, opportunity, vision, and growth.
Saturn: Structure, timing, responsibility, discipline, and long-term strategy.
☀️ The Sun in Scorpio and Sagittarius
The Sun begins November in Scorpio, where attention turns toward depth work, research, and the deeper motivations that drive success. Scorpio season highlights the power of focus, trust, and the ability to analyze what lies beneath the surface.
Midmonth, the Sun forms trines to Jupiter and Saturn on November 17, strengthening insight and purpose while Mercury’s retrograde motion keeps plans in the development stage.
On November 20, the Sun joins Mercury in Scorpio, a day suited for research, writing, and strategy. The following day, November 21, the Sun opposes Uranus and trines Neptune, reflecting a brief window where creativity and intuition can lead to sudden insights or changes in direction.
The Sun enters Sagittarius on November 22, shifting focus to vision, adventure, and forward movement. Its sextile to Pluto on November 23 strengthens resolve and purpose, encouraging decisions grounded in authenticity and supportive of your personal power.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius, Retrograde to Scorpio
Mercury begins November in Sagittarius, retrograding November 9 and shifting attention from new ideas and projects to editing those already in motion. During its out-of-bounds period (Oct 31 – Nov 11), conversations may feel more animated or unpredictable, especially around belief systems and philosophical values.
On November 13, Mercury meets Mars in Sagittarius, stimulating lively dialogue and quick reactions. A few days later, November 17, Mercury forms a sextile to Pluto, ideal for strategic planning or refining 2026 goals.
When Mercury retrogrades back into Scorpio on November 19, focus turns inward. That same day, its opposition to Uranus and trine to Neptune sparks insight and creative thinking. The Sun–Mercury cazimi, when the two are conjunct, on November 20 increases focus in reflection, helping identify what needs reworking.
As Mercury continues its retrograde, it trines Saturn on November 22 and Jupiter on November 23, blending discipline with optimism for practical problem-solving. On November 25, Mercury joins Venus in Scorpio, supporting honest communication and deeper understanding in partnerships and collaborations.
Mercury stations direct November 29 at 20 degrees Scorpio, one of the most potent points of the cycle for delay or mixed signals. Give decisions and communication extra space before resuming normal pace in December.
♀ Venus in Libra and Scorpio
Venus begins November in Libra, her home sign, supporting collaborative partnerships, creative design, and diplomacy. Early in the month, her opposition to Chiron on November 2 and square to Jupiter on November 3 highlight relationship growth through honest conversations and collaboration.
When Venus moves into Scorpio on November 7, interactions deepen and move behind the scenes. Her square to Pluto on November 8 can bring power dynamics and control issues to light.
The Venus-Mercury conjunction on November 25 encourages a review of collaborations, partnerships, and contracts. If you have been wanting to update or change the terms of a partnership contract, this could be a good day for discussing what that would look like.
From November 26–27, Venus forms trines to Jupiter and Saturn, combining optimism with commitment and making these strong days for contract renegotiation, devising plans for making current and past projects stronger through review and analysis, with a focus on the long-term vision and goals.
The month closes with Venus opposing Uranus and trining Neptune on November 30, signaling a blend of change and uncertainty in relationships. Give space for the Mercury retrograde cycle to pass before making long-term commitments.
♂ Mars in Scorpio and Sagittarius
Mars begins November in late Scorpio, one of its home signs, where action is motivated by uncovering information. Mars is focused, persistence, and determined in Scorpio.
On November 4, it forms a trine to Neptune shortly before entering Sagittarius, blending drive with imagination and suggesting a need for flexible scheduling that day.
As Mars moves into Sagittarius on November 4, energy becomes more dynamic and outward-focused. The opposition to Uranus that same day can bring sudden shifts or surprises, while the sextile to Pluto on November 6 supports confident, decisive action.
Mars conjoins Mercury retrograde on November 13, emphasizing active discussion and the revisiting of ideas already in motion. Conversations may surface themes from earlier in the month that need reworking or renewed attention.
Avoid overextending yourself as energy levels rise late in the month when Mars goes Out of Bounds on November 27, amplifying both enthusiasm and restlessness.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer
Jupiter continues to travel in Cancer, emphasizing growth that strengthens security, belonging, and the supportive systems around your work. On November 11, Jupiter stations retrograde at 25 degrees Cancer, turning attention to the foundations (home, family, nurturing) that make expansion and growth possible.
The month opens with Venus square Jupiter on November 3, creating useful tension for action with partners or allies. The Sun trine Jupiter on November 17 brings optimism and some luck to the day.
With Mercury retrograde, the Mercury–Jupiter trine on November 23 favors revisiting ideas, refining messaging, and editing or updating important projects.
As Venus trines Jupiter on November 26, collaboration and connection are emphasized. It’s a good time to strengthen professional relationships or revisit projects that deserve more attention. With Mercury still retrograde, keep new launches or new commitments on hold (if possible) until communication and timing are clearer in December.
♄ Saturn in Pisces (Retrograde)
Saturn continues retrograde in Pisces through most of November and stations direct on November 27 at 25 degrees Pisces. This marks the final stretch of Saturn’s transit through Pisces before it moves back into Aries in February 2026.
On November 17, the Sun trine Saturn (retrograde) supports organizing existing work and setting realistic pacing. Use it to sort priorities, update schedules, and firm up milestones already in motion while Mercury remains retrograde.
On November 22, Mercury retrograde trines Saturn retrograde. Favor audits, document reviews, and workflow fixes. Adjust timelines, clean up terms, and note decisions for later confirmation.
On November 27, Venus trines Saturn as Saturn stations direct. Reaffirm expectations and roles, but keep signatures and public commitments for early December, after the station settles and Mercury is direct.
Outer Planets: Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Chiron
The outer planets move slowly, shaping long-term cycles of change that influence industries, cultures, and collective shifts. They form the larger backdrop in which business decisions unfold, highlighting generational themes and gradual transformations.
Chiron, a slow-moving asteroid, operates on both the personal and collective levels as a symbolic bridge between pain and healing, illustrating how we learn through our wounds.
Outer planet transits often coincide with turning points that leave a lasting impact, shaping significant periods of time in business and life. A consultation helps you see how these collective shifts are personalized in your chart, highlighting the deeper cycles that influence your growth and direction.
Uranus: Innovation, disruption, breakthroughs, and experimentation with systems and technology.
Neptune: Vision, imagination, ideals, and the blurred space between inspiration and illusion.
Pluto: Transformation, regeneration, power dynamics, and what must be purged or rebuilt.
Chiron: Healing, integration of wounds, and turning vulnerability into wisdom.
Uranus in Gemini and Taurus (Retrograde)
Uranus continues its retrograde from Gemini into Taurus this month. Its exact sextile with Neptune on November 20 marks an important collective alignment active through 2028, reflecting breakthroughs in technology, communication, and the reimagining of stability within rapidly changing systems.
Neptune in Pisces (Retrograde)
Neptune remains in the final degrees of Pisces, closely aligned with Saturn. The Neptune–Uranus sextile reinforces innovation inspired by imagination, creativity, and compassion. These two planets move together over the next few years, symbolizing long-term shifts in how ideals are translated into progress.
Pluto in Aquarius
Pluto advances through early Aquarius, forming sextiles to Mars (Nov 6), Venus (Nov 8), Mercury (Nov 17), and the Sun (Nov 23). Each of these connections supports transformation through insight, power dynamics, empowerment, and strategic change. Pluto continues to influence how power, technology, and leadership evolve across collective and business landscapes.
Chiron in Aries (Retrograde)
Chiron travels through Aries, moving through the final stretch of its retrograde cycle. This phase invites reflection on past or childhood wounds. It’s a time to recognize the wisdom gained from difficult experiences and how personal growth shapes the way you lead, teach, and support others.
Chiron will station direct on January 2.
