November Astrology Forecast:
The Big Picture: Outer Planets

Planetary Sign Changes In 2026:

Neptune and Saturn have been traveling together for a year. Both left Pisces early in 2026: Neptune entered Aries on January 26 and Saturn followed on February 13. This feels like the end of an era, like exiting the fog and leaping into a new phase of action and inspiration. Chiron starts the year in Aries, then hops into Taurus for a few months mid-year. That’s three planets in the Cardinal Fire Warrior sign during the first half of 2026. The fog already feels long-gone.  

Uranus started the year in Taurus and retrograde, going direct on February 3rd. Uranus in Taurus (his sign of fall) has brought a lot of disruption and uncertainty to the economic space. Think cryptocurrency, tariffs and other financial insanities of the past year. In April, Uranus moves into Gemini (sign of curiosity and learning), to bring innovation and reform to the sectors of communications, education and media. Jupiter has also changed signs, having moved from Cancer into Leo at the tail-end of June. So many sign changes this year! It’s truly ridiculous. And does it feel like times of change? Yes, it does.  

Pluto is the only one who stays where he is. He continues plugging along through Aquarius, where he will spend 20 years in total. During Pluto in Aquarius we’re experiencing a lot of tribalism, nationalism and social warfare. Hopefully it eases out as Pluto moves from the early degrees of Aquarius (more rough-cut) and into the later ones (more “evolved”). These things are a side-effect of Pluto’s tendency to bring corruption to the surface. We’ll also see death-and-rebirth happening in the tech sector, and AI is already proving transformative. What are we, as a society, transforming into? This month, Pluto’s motion is now direct (forward), not retrograde (backward), and as he speeds up we can feel the transformation accelerating.  

Jupiter In Leo, 2026 – 2027:
The Bold And Big-Hearted Star

Jupiter’s Travel And Span This Year:

Jupiter entered Leo on June 30, 2026 and will be there, zigging and zagging, until next July 25. While in Leo, Jupiter quickly surges forward to 27º, turning retrograde on December 12. Then he will travel backwards until April 12, pivoting direct at 16º Leo. Jupiter will finish his 2026-2027 span when he leaves 27º on July 16, 2027. He finally exits Leo for Virgo on July 25, 2027. All this means that if you have any planet at all in 16 – 27 degrees of Leo, you are definitely having a Jupiter transit this year, and chances are, it’s going to be great. Additionally, if you have any planet at all in 16 – 27 degrees of any of the Fixed signs (Leo, Scorpio, Taurus, Aquarius), then that planet will have a Jupiter transit too. Learning in advance how to get on top of the Jupiter Luck-Wave is your best maneuver.

What Do I Mean By “Jupiter Luck-Wave”?

Good things tend to happen during a Jupiter transit. It’s a time when the part of you represented by the planet Jupiter is transiting can feel downright lucky. You may find yourself feeling more hopeful, positive, confident in that area of your life. This positive attitude attracts the people, experiences and moments that can guide you towards what you’re wanting. You might even wonder why people are responding to you so well, as if you’re suddenly shiny. Jupiter does that. And the more you pursue things that are not only good for you, but also good for other people in your orbit, the faster and more efficient your ride on the Jupiter Luck-Wave gets.

What Does Jupiter In Leo Mean?

Jupiter in Leo lights up your inner spotlight. This transit asks you to shine, boldly and without apology. Confidence grows. Creative gifts want to be seen and shared. Leo rules the heart, so this is also about joy—real, unguarded joy. You may feel braver about self-expression, romance, and play (all these things are Leo’s purview). This is a time to lead with warmth, not ego. Jupiter expands whatever it touches, so any hidden talent gets a chance to grow. Trust your own light; the world wants to see it.

How Can You Best Use Jupiter In Leo?

Say yes to the things that used to feel too bold. Start that creative project. Wear the color that makes you feel alive. Speak up in the room instead of staying quiet. Jupiter in Leo rewards courage, not caution. Let yourself be seen, and let yourself have fun doing it. Watch for one pitfall: this placement can tip into showing off or needing constant praise. Don’t let this transit press you to be repellent! The higher path is generous confidence—shine in a way that lifts others too. Cheer on someone else’s spotlight moment. Share the stage. That’s how you turn luck into lasting love and respect.

How To Lock In The Luck:

During a Jupiter transit, anything you begin, birth or buy can become a lucky charm for its lifespan. For example, you buy a car and it makes you feel great to drive it for the duration of your ownership, and even when it’s falling off its wheels, you still can’t help but love it. Or you join a company, flush with confidence from your Jupiter transit and it widens your career path forward. My point is, whatever you create (that wasn’t there before) takes on a life of its own and the Jupiter feelings of confidence, hope, possibility and enthusiasm are baked right into that thing, for as long as it’s in your life. Long after Jupiter has moved on, your luck charm remains with you.

Read on through the paragraphs below Saturn in Aries for how these two planets combine in a powerful way during August and September.

Saturn In Aries, 2025 – 2028:
The Responsible And Restrained Hero

Saturn’s Travel And Span This Year:

Saturn entered his 2026 span in April and spends the rest of the year in mid-Aries. Saturn traveled forward to 14º Aries, then pivoted retrograde in July. Then he travels backwards until December, to pivot direct at 7º before finishing his 2026 span in March 2027. The most important thing for you to know about this is that any planets you have in 7 – 14 degrees of a Cardinal sign will feel a Saturn transit this year.

What Does Saturn In Aries Mean?

Saturn in Aries asks you to grow up in how you act, choose, and lead your life forward. This is a test of courage, where impulse must mature into disciplined, decisive action. You are being asked to become your own authority, acting as the hero of your life with honesty and integrity. Every challenge is an invitation to take responsibility and refine your instincts into something precise and effective. Move forward bravely, but not recklessly—this is how you build real strength and earn lasting self-trust. Not to mention the trust and respect of other people!

What Should You Do About Saturn In Aries?

Saturn struggles in Aries because this sign is so hot-headed and Saturn is about discipline. It’s easy for Saturn the Authority Figure to be impulsive and even abusive in this sign. So the key to handling this difficult combination is to remember that power must be wielded responsibly. A self-absorbed authority figure is not an exemplar of the best of Saturn. But curbing one’s own impulses is the higher-integrity path. This is an opportunity to channel your energies and drives into projects that support the greater good.

Chiron Is Shifting From Aries To Taurus:

Chiron Shifts From Aries To Taurus In 2026: 

This year, 2026, Chiron tiptoes into the very first degree of Taurus for just three months before retreating to Aries on September 17. It will begin traveling Aries in earnest next April.  

The very final degree of a sign and the very first degree of a sign are important spots. You’ll sometimes hear of the final degree as the “anaretic” degree (which is true), and also you’ll hear it called the “29th” degree (which is false). It is actually the 30th degree, because degrees are counted in the same way centuries are. For example, when we were in the 20th century, it was also the 1900s. In each zodiac sign there are 30 degrees. The first one is number 0 and it is also the first degree. The final one is number 29 and it is also the 30th degree. Makes sense, right?  

Why Is Chiron In An Anaretic Degree Important?  

But you may be wondering, “What is the anaretic degree, and what does it mean?” And that’s a great thing to wonder because it’s pretty important. The “anaretic” degree is a special name given to the final degree of every sign and yes, that would be degree 29. It’s special and important because the very end of every sign is a place of finality, intensity, departure, and transition. It’s the place where you prove that you’ve learned all the lessons of that sign and you’re ready to move on to the next one. If anything in your chart at all is in 29° of its sign, you can bet you’ve got some pretty important and irrevocable things to learn and complete about that sign. 

By contrast, 0º of each sign is also important, because it’s the tip-of-the-nose beginning of a new sign and thus has an extremely different feel. You’d think there would be a special name for degree zero of each sign, but there isn’t (sorry, 0º, we love you anyway!). In 0º of a sign, you are launching into a state of extreme rawness. It’s the most rudimentary part of the sign. Any planet in your chart in 0º of a sign is trying out that sign as if for the first time. Zero degrees is filled with enthusiasm, freshness and an extreme lack of experience. No wisdom here, only trying.   

Letting Go Of Chiron In Aries, 2018 – 2026:  

Chiron spent 2018 and 2019 transitioning into Aries from Pisces. Since then, Chiron has gained a lot of Aries wisdom and experience. So Chiron the Wounded Healer has been acting as Chiron the Wounded Warrier and Chiron the Healing Hero. It’s been a wonderful journey, and Chiron has taught us a lot about the healing powers of self-assertion, honesty and heroic action. But now Chiron is moving on into a new sign and must get closure with the Aries lessons. That means that this year we may face final-exam moments where we are called upon to act heroically. You may have to prove that you can assert yourself in a way that fits the occasion—not too submissive, nor too overbearing.  

Launching Chiron In Taurus, 2026 – 2034:  

Chiron spends 2026 and 2027 transitioning into Taurus, beginning by tiptoeing into just the very first degree of Taurus. Naturally, 0º Taurus has a very Taurus feel to it, but in the most rough-cut and rudimentary way possible. Chiron may leap with great enthusiasm into healing the Taurus themes of food, body and money, but via ill-advised actions and with messy results. So if you suddenly get the urge to go on an extreme diet, do some form of body modification, or engage in a financial plan that seems like it will fix all your money troubles, please think for a minute before acting. There might be some healing there, but consider a slower and more researched approach. After all, Chiron’s goal is not to patch, but to arrive at a state of wholeness.  

November Astrology Forecast:
Faster-Moving Planets
And Dates To Watch 

Scorpio Sun Season, October 23 – November 21, 2026
“What Must I Release?”  

Scorpio is the season of transformation. This Fixed Water sign invites you to release what has outlived its purpose. It encourages you to embrace the deeper truth of who you are becoming. Here, growth comes through honesty, courage, and a willingness to welcome life’s endings as new beginnings. Scorpio reminds you that real power comes from authenticity, not control. This is the season to release old fears, heal lingering wounds, and reclaim your inner strength. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, you emerge wiser, clearer, and more resilient. Trust the process of renewal and welcome the future unfolding before you. Choose transformation over resistance, vulnerability over defensiveness, and authenticity over fear. 

Sagittarius Sun Season, November 21– December 21, 2026
“What Else Is Possible?”  

Sagittarius is the season of discovery. This Mutable Fire sign invites you to lift your eyes beyond the familiar and explore life’s greater possibilities. Here, growth comes when you adventure out into the world and gain experience. Sagittarius is a search for meaning; this sign reminds you that wisdom grows when you remain open to new perspectives. This is the season to broaden your horizons and trust the journey ahead. Like an archer aiming toward a distant horizon, you can move confidently toward a future inspired by hope and purpose. Let each new experience deepen your understanding of yourself and the world around you. Choose possibility over limitation and exploration over complacency. Bring your optimism, leave the cynicism behind. 

Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio, Lesser Epiphany Day November 4: 

Mercury continues retrograde in Scorpio as November begins, inviting deeper reflection, investigation, and reconsideration. Lesser Epiphany Day arrives on November 4, when Mercury conjoins the Sun at 12º Scorpio; an important insight may surface. Pay attention to revealing conversations, unexpected realizations, and information that deepens your understanding of a complicated situation. A puzzle may presents its solution here. 

Mercury Goes Direct on November 13: 

Mercury stations direct on November 13, but clarity may return gradually, rather than all at once. Use the following weeks to integrate what you have learned, repair misunderstandings, and make thoughtful adjustments before charging ahead. Mercury finishes its retrograde span, also called the shadow period, on November 29. By then, matters stirring since early October may finally feel clearer, allowing decisions and conversations to move forward with greater confidence. 

Venus Retrograde Goes Direct at 22º Libra On November 13:  

Venus continues retrograde in Libra through the first half of November, inviting you to reconsider how fairness, compromise, and reciprocity operate in your relationships. Notice where you may be giving too much or asking too little. Are you keeping the peace at the expense of honesty? When Venus goes Direct on November 13, relationship matters can begin moving forward again, but there’s no need to rush. Use what you’ve learned during the Venus Retrograde period to make better choices, renegotiate agreements, and create relationships that leave room for everyone involved. Balance doesn’t mean keeping everything perfectly even; it means building connections where care, respect, and consideration can flow in both directions. 

Ceres In Cancer Goes Retrograde November 21: 

Ceres is slow as November starts, bringing advance notice of the retrograde to come. This Earth Mother asteroid will be retrograde for about 3 months, from November 21, 2026 until February 23, 2027. Folks whose charts are affected will already feel it early in the month. This year Ceres’ retrograde span runs from 10 – 23º Cancer. So if you have any planet in 10 – 23º of Cancer, you’ll feel this transit very personally. Additionally, if you have a planet in 10 – 23º of another Cardinal sign (Libra, Capricorn, Aries), you’d feel it too. And if you were born in any of these date spans, you’d feel it very strongly: April 2 to 13, July 1 to 16, October 2 to 16 or December 31 to January 14.  

What To Do While Ceres Is Retrograde: 

While Ceres is retrograde in Cancer, old financial patterns tied to family resurface for a closer look. She asks you to notice where guilt, not need, drives your spending or generosity. Maybe it’s time for a conversation with your parents about end-of-life care or inheritance. Maybe it’s time to pressure your kids to get better at adulting. Maybe you are the one who needs to get better at care of your home, your body, your food, your pets, your garden. Ceres is all about maintenance of life and health in the most practical ways and when she goes retrograde, these areas go kaplooie precisely so we will more clearly see what needs cleaning up. This is the time to quietly untangle inherited scarcity from your own true relationship with money. To truly be an adult is to no longer blame your parents for your problems (even if they 100% deserve it) because at this point, the only one who can fix it is you.  

Mars In Leo, Slowing Down:   

Mars continues through Leo in November, but his pace is beginning to slow as he approaches the retrograde journey ahead. You may still feel the desire to lead, create, and make your mark, yet forward motion may require more effort than before. If applause is slow to arrive or obstacles appear, don’t waste energy proving yourself. Ask whether your actions still serve the purpose that inspired them. Courage is not only the ability to charge ahead; sometimes it is the willingness to reconsider where you are going and why. 

Mars Enters Virgo November 25:  

When Mars enters Virgo on November 25, the Warrior trades dramatic action for precision, competence, and practical improvement. This is a time to organize your efforts, sharpen your skills, and turn good intentions into useful action. Beware of perfectionism, however, and especially of using criticism as a weapon against yourself or others. You do not have to do everything flawlessly to make a meaningful difference. Focus on what genuinely helps. Mars in Virgo is heroic when courage becomes service and effort produces something useful. 

Juno In Aquarius:  

Juno keeps moving direct through Aquarius in November, and her focus widens. She’s not only asking about your closest partner—she’s asking about your network. Who stands beside you in business? Who amplifies your voice, your causes, your reach? Aquarius favors innovators, odd allies, unlikely collaborators. This month, Juno suggests a brainstorming session in partnerships built on shared ideas rather than shared history. A new business alliance, a bold collaborator, a mentor who thinks differently—these connections carry real potential under Juno in Aquarius. Juno rewards the courage to team up with people who challenge your thinking. Look around you for the minds that stretch your own—then build with them.
