NOVEMBER 2026
ORACLE CARD OF THE MONTH: “Philanthropic Pursuit of Justice” (Jupiter in Air). This month, a strong sense of service to humanity, as well as unselfish generosity are required of us. Our code of ethics could be unconventional. The more we are charming, sympathetic, hospitable, and charitable, the more successful we shall be. Expansion comes through intellectual alertness. Our curiosity and thirst for knowledge could lead us to varied mental interests and the exploration of diverse cultures. We benefit from friendships and group associations. Humanitarian skills, companionship, communication, broad-mindedness, tolerance, and honesty assist us in creating social justice. Yet we should remain mindful to not impose our own ethical standards onto others.

Saturn remains retrograde this whole month till December 10. Its shadow period lasts until March 15, 2027. The degrees covered in November (9º17’-8º02’ Aries) are represented by: “A teacher gives new symbolic forms to traditional images” and “A crystal gazer”. We are invited to reassess our relationships, and re-examine our connection to duty, discipline, and structure. A great month to teach what we know and inspire future generations.
Neptune remains retrograde this whole month till December 12. Its shadow period remains until April 3rd, 2027. The degrees covered in November (2º06’-1º40’ Aries) are associated with the following images: “The cameo profile of a man, suggesting the shape of his country” and “A comedian reveals human nature”. We are invited to see beyond our fantasies and illusions the reality of what we have identified with which wasn’t our truth. The time has come to shift away from blurry images and discover our identity.
Uranus remains retrograde this whole month till February 8, 2027. Its shadow period lasts until May 21, 2027. The degrees covered in November (4º41’-3º30’ Gemini) are symbolized by: “A revolutionary magazine asking for action” and “Holly and mistletoe reawaken old memories of Christmas”. Not being afraid of disturbing the status quo, having the courage of our beliefs, asserting our uniqueness, and feeling no shame in returning to more traditional values, bring breakthroughs and ultimate freedom.
Venus turns direct on November 13 at 22º53’ Libra. Its shadow period remains until December 16. This degree is symbolized by: “Chanticleer’s voice heralds sunrise”. Our relationships return to normal today.
Mercury turns direct on November 13 at 5º18’ Scorpio. Its shadow period remains until November 30th. This degree is represented by: “The gold rush tears men away from their native soil”. Today, communications, travel, and friendships return to normal.
The Sun enters Sagittarius on November 22 till December 21st. During the coming month, our optimism, faith in life, self-confidence, adventurousness, and free spiritedness are enhanced. Outgoing, friendly, and exuberant, we are more enthusiastic, daring, and impulsive than usual. Motivated by a strong desire to learn, we become intellectual explorers, fascinated by foreign cultures, philosophy, religion, and the law. A great month to plan a long-distance trip, enroll in a university course, learn a new language, start going to church, or contact a lawyer. We are drawn to knowledge and truth, love a challenge, but being more interested in broader concepts, we may be a little careless when it comes to details. Interpreters, librarians, booksellers, publishers, writers, conference speakers, dog breeders, archers, jockeys, priests, attorneys, veterinarians, athletes, and politicians are favored. We could be rather tactless, trip over our own feet, but demonstrating a great ability at focusing on the silver lining of every dark cloud, we see failure as a hidden chance for future success. Trusting our own decisions, we don’t believe in free rides, could be a little impatient, but are sincere, candid, generous, and jovial with a talent at laughing at ourselves. Averse to a rigid routine, even if prone to some exaggeration, our efforts are eager and our actions, zealous.
Mars enters Virgo on November 25 till February 21st, 2027. The next 3 months are great for putting order in our papers, reorganizing our affairs, starting a diet, and getting on a solid exercise program. We are invited to be ingenious, industrious, practical, and are focused on efficiency. We plan our actions carefully, execute them systematically, and are more than willing to work hard. However, anxiety and worry could deplete our nervous energy. Our focus on petty details, squandering valuable energy on incidentals, could make us lose sight of the forest for the tree and lead to a certain narrowness of effort. An excessive obsession with a need for constant activity could lead to a lot of restlessness. Eager to be of service, we are kind and helpful, but could be a little more fussy, critical, and fastidious than usual. We should do our best to maintain a steady routine and honor our responsibilities. During the next 3 months, we are encouraged to revamp our health, nutrition, and cleanliness habits. We are likely to feel strongly about the environment and may want to devote a lot of energy on causes defending the Earth. Relaxation my not come easily to us, but spending quality time gardening or in Nature can help us unwind.

This month’s intentional meditation started on Sunday 10/25. We took out as many blank sheets of paper as we had intentions and placed them near a window, on a balcony or in a garden so that they basked in the light of the Full Moon in Taurus at exactly 9:12 PM. Once that moment passed, we gathered our Full Moon charged blank sheets and placed them in a folder until the next New Moon.
On Sunday 11/8, take out your blank Full Moon charged papers and write on each a concise, positive intention. Place them on a balcony, in a garden or near a window so that they are out by exactly 11:02 PM for the New Moon in Scorpio. Once that moment has passed, staple them together and put them away in a folder expecting the manifestation of all your dreams….

Wednesday 11/4: Venus Sextile Jupiter (2:31 AM), Sun Conjunct Mercury (6:24 AM)
An expansive, beneficial day. We feel communicative, are warm-hearted, graceful, and charming. Social activities and partnerships are favored. Our optimism, serenity, and happy disposition attract the affection of others. Because we seek comfort, harmony, and balance, it is an excellent day for any business dealing with luxury items, getting a make-over, or redecorating our home. Our creative talents are enhanced. Financial affairs are beneficial. As long as we don’t fall prey to extravagance or excesses, foreign investment and planning for our material future are favored. Legal matters turn to the advantage of those who have focused on integrity. A good day also for both small errands and a long-distance trip.
Monday 11/9: Venus Sextile Mars (10:48 PM)
Today, things tend to go smoothly. Our feelings and actions are balanced. While self-assertive, we relate well to others. We are not afraid to take the initiative in pursuing romance. Our attraction to the opposite sex is backed by an equal ability to give and receive. Our generous, kind, loving, energetic, as well as easy-going disposition help us attract good people. A great day for establishing a solid partnership, going on a romantic date, starting an enjoyable love affair, or just inviting good friends over. Financial opportunities are positive, encouraging us to invest in ventures that make our heart sing.
Friday 11/13: Mercury turns direct (7:54 AM), Venus turns direct (4:27 PM)
Kindly refer to the opening paragraphs.
Sunday 11/15: Mars Conjunct Jupiter (10:24 PM)
A day encouraging physical activities. We feel strong, courageous, and adventurous. Vigorous, jovial, and enthusiastic, we are zealous is pursuing what we consider to be worthwhile endeavors. Our self-confidence is high, our decision-making capacity is strong, and our vital energy, decisive. This transit is good for money as long as we don’t overspend or fall prey to excessive gambling or unwise financial speculations. It is excellent for launching a new project, concentrating on positive objectives, and childbirth. Very good also for making professional contacts, particularly with a lawyer, doctor, or religious person. Our optimism, leadership abilities, and open, frank disposition infuse others with the zest to live.
Wednesday 11/18: Sun Square Jupiter (1:39 AM)
In our restlessness with our existing circumstances, we could become prone to exaggeration, fall prey to over-confidence, be over-dressed, go over budget, eat or drink too much…. We are likely to want to get more out of life than we’ve had until now, and long for more freedom. We need however to avoid biting more than we can chew, promising more that we can deliver, taking on too many projects, extending ourselves beyond our resources, and having overly optimistic expectations that are impossible to fulfill. An inflated sense of self, extravagance, impracticality, and self-indulgence are ill-advised. Today, to move ahead, it is important that we exercise some much-needed self-restraint. It is also essential that we re-evaluate our moral values and express ourselves with humility and gratitude.
Thursday 11/19: Sun Square Mars (9:49 AM)
Thinking before leaping into action may not be our strongest suit today. Argumentative, overly vigorous, headstrong, impatient, and irritable, we could literally erupt if things are not going our way and become our own worst enemy. In our frustration or anger, we could be tempted to achieve our goals by force. Bossiness, arrogance, impulsivity, and temper invite baseless conflicts, vicious quarrels, all the way to aggressive fights we might later regret. Others could scrutinize our actions searching for flaws. Taking foolish risks today is not advised at all. We should be particularly careful to avoid problems with authorities, dangerous people, or violent situations. Let us be cautious when driving, flying, or operating sharp tools.
Saturday 11/21: the Sun enters Sagittarius (11:23 PM)
Kindly refer to the opening paragraph.
Monday 11/23: Sun Trine Neptune (4:08 PM)
The changes initiated by this transit could be so subtle that we hardly notice them. Our enthusiasm, empathic as well as psychic abilities, idealism, and intuition are greatly enhanced. We could have visionary dreams. The more we flow with life, are sympathetic, tolerant, and sensitive to the undercurrents, the deeper our insights into business, the stock market, art, music, and religion will be. Our social life tends to increase, and could bring wonderful new friendships, romantic opportunities, even the possibility of an ideal love. Even if we are not particularly inclined artistically, we still feel dreamy, and are likely to be touched deeply by an exhibit, a concert, a movie, or a novel.
Wednesday 11/25: Sun Sextile Pluto (9:28 AM), Sun Opposition Uranus (2:41 PM), Mars enters Virgo (3:37 PM)
The beginning of a new phase of life. We have accepted our fears, embraced past difficulties, and are now clear on our path and more aware of the meaning of our life. A great day to change through purposeful thought and action. Excellent for turning away from toxic people and situations that have proven negative, and getting rid of repressions and bad feelings. Our organizational skills and highly developed intuition enable us to mend disagreements and discover new solutions. Unusual upheavals may force some readjustments. Exciting changes require ingenuity and draw on our talents to come up with inventive ideas. Surprising events in our personal relationships could lead to a sudden break or an unexpected coming together. We want things our way, tend to be erratic, impatient, rebellious, distracted, unstable, and highly individualistic. Despite being high-strung and excitable, we have the ability to turn things upside down in a way that creates new, dynamic possibilities. Re-Mars in Virgo, kindly refer to the opening paragraph.
Saturday 11/28: Venus Sextile Jupiter (4:05 AM)
Kindly refer to Wednesday 11/4.
Sunday 11/29: Uranus Trine Pluto (3:21 AM), Sun Trine Saturn (10:06 PM)
Today, what is not working well is being exposed. Sudden changes, new friendships, or unusual circumstances shift our consciousness leading to a deeper understanding or ourselves and others. A profound mystical experience could change our perception of life. Any activity that benefits all, set in motion today, has every chance of developing strongly in the future. Collective goals are favored and those who do not cooperate to the common highest good, are organically removed. Geared towards giving an enduring form to our ambitions, we are committed to our duties, fulfill our obligations, and honor our responsibilities. Not taking any unnecessary chances, nor wasting any valuable resource, we are methodical, organized, function well within the rules, and show respect to those in positions of authority. Embracing routine work, we settle practical matters in a prudent, methodical way, and make decisions that support our safety.
Wishing you a wonderful month of November!
In Loving Light.
