Astrology of the Week
Astrology of the
Week
03 ~ 09 November 2025
This week has a strange mix of warmth and edge. We’re feeling both grounded and restless—ready to build, but unwilling to settle. This is a week for realignment as every sign gets a taste of progress, though some may find that growth looks a little messier up close. The Universe isn’t whispering; it’s speaking clearly. What we do with that message—how we move through it—sets the tone for the rest of the month.
A Full Moon in Taurus grounds awareness into reality, highlighting what’s real, what’s reliable, and what’s overdue for a reality check. Mars shifts into Sagittarius, lighting a match under anything that’s been running on fumes. Venus shifting into Scorpio stimulates urgency around truth in love and accountability in desire. Uranus retrogrades back into Taurus, revisiting themes from 2018 ~ 2024 around money, stability, self-worth. Venus immediately forms hard aspects with Uranus, Sedna, and Pluto, pointing to the possibility of significant changes in relationships, values, or financial matters toward the end of the week. The week ends with Mercury going retrograde on Sunday; what’s surfacing now will become the storyline of the next three weeks. Pay attention to repetition — the names, topics, and issues that keep circling back are our clues. Re-read the fine print. Call it back, clean it up, and correct course.
The square between generous Jupiter and controversy-stirring Eris was exact on 02 November, and will be a potent influence throughout the coming month. Uncomfortable truths are revealed and emotions run high. We are acutely aware of situations in which people have been ignored, abused, traumatised, or otherwise mistreated. Our sensitivity to those who have felt unseen is magnified, and we may feel especially protective of anyone who appears vulnerable. The effects are very strong this week and will peak again around 11 November, when Jupiter stations retrograde, and again at the end of the month, when Jupiter squares Eris for the second time on 25 November. Jupiter and Eris will be exactly square a third time, on 09 June 2026, when controversies that are being stirred this month may arise again, or perhaps find conclusion.
MARS TRINE NEPTUNE (Monday)
Flashes of inspiration, creative breakthroughs, shadow work, trusting instincts. We feel more comfortable in letting intuition and creative inspiration guide our steps. We are encouraged to act on our compassion or in alignment with our higher values and vision. An unexpected solution could present itself, something that almost feels like magic. We can see beneath the surface of everything — motives, opportunities, emotional subtext. Don’t bother doing things in a tried-and-true matter. And if blockages seem to evaporate as surely as a mirage, just thank the planets for doing their part.
MARS IN SAGITTARIUS (04 Nov ~ 15 Dec)
Bold, restless, mildly chaotic. Break out of any tight confines, be they literal or metaphorical. The next six weeks encourage us to be more adventurous and daring in our actions. We may feel a bit restless, be more spontaneous, and eagerly embark on new adventures. We may be more likely to take action based on higher principles and in support of a cause we believe in. Just be sure to keep one foot planted firmly on the ground while the other is dashing off over the horizon into unknown territory.
MARS OPPOSITE URANUS (Tuesday)
Pure volatility. Assertive, rebellious, enterprising, and unpredictable. Schedules explode, conversations escalate; expect detours, tech hiccups, or people testing our patience. The need for freedom is heightened and there is strong resistance to any form of control, causing some to take unexpected risks or to be confrontational or combative. Themes of social justice and equality can arise. Breakthroughs can occur, but also breakdowns—if necessary change has been blocked in some way.
The urge to act out or do something shocking could be almost undeniable. People can be very impatient and act impulsively or in unexpected or shocking ways, so try to keep comfortably away from any combustible situations. Confrontations are possible, especially in situations that are restrictive in some way. The best way to use this energy is to pivot, not panic. Experimentation rather than arguments could uncover genius solutions, or at least a killer new strategy.
This is the third crisis point in the current Mars-Uranus synodic cycle that began on 15 July 2024. We are most likely to see significant events related to the meanings of the two planets at key dates in the cycle : 15 June 2025, 04 November 2025, and 27 February 2026. A new synodic cycle begins on 03 July 2026, when Mars and Uranus conjoin in Gemini.
FULL MOON IN TAURUS (Wednesday)
Effort must meet reward. Security, values, and what it actually takes to feel safe — financially, emotionally, physically. This Taurus Full Moon is going to be one of the most shocking and electrically charged lunations of the year due to aggressive Mars opposing rebel Uranus, creating chaotic tension and unexpected blow-ups. Stay grounded and connect with nature and beauty in all its forms.
MARS SEXTILE PLUTO (Thursday)
Deep and determined energy as passion meets purpose. We can tap into our deepest urges and desires, helping us make the most of our natural intensities without getting overwhelmed by them. We can accomplish more than normal, so find a productive and positive outlet for this high-octane energy. The urge to fight for a moral cause or in support of an ideal is especially strong. We might feel the urge to make a decisive move—a confrontation, a confession, a big risk that aligns with our truth.
VENUS IN SCORPIO (06 ~ 30 Nov)
This is make-it-real energy. There is a need for greater depth and honesty in all our relationships. We’re not satisfied with surface-level anything, whether that’s career, intimacy, or sense of direction. These four weeks are all about going the distance when it comes to romance, so easy-going flirtations and casual connections won’t cut it for the time being. Relationships get X-rayed for weak points. Focus on building meaningful partnerships, or improving current relationships; think quality over quantity, intimacy and intensity over anything superficial. Just be aware that Venus in Scorpio also exposes possessiveness or jealousy.
VENUS SQUARE PLUTO (Friday)
Relationships and alliances may experience major shifts. Our desires can get the better of us, pushing us to go further and deeper in pursuit of the things we want. This can cause very extreme interactions, especially in romantic relationships, so if we’ve been hoping to have a heart-to-heart with someone, this may not be the time as things can easily get blown out of proportion. We might be suspicious that all is not what it appears to be; the drive for truth can uncover discomforting secrets. The need to maintain power and control can cause some to be manipulative, possessive, or coercive.
URANUS RETROGRADE IN TAURUS (07 Nov ~ 25 April)
The changes of the past are back for inspection, revisiting themes from 2018–2024 – financial shifts, career curveballs, or tech malfunctions rooted in old insecurities about stability resurfacing. We are called to redefine our foundational values by breaking down a stubborn resistance to change that is based on attachment to the status quo. We must face what’s outdated about our definition of security, and if we are clinging to what’s familiar or building something that can actually last. How can we move things in a more enlightened direction ? Moving fast and breaking things is unsustainable. But if we want to build something new and better than you have to slow down and create. We have to be responsible, caring, and have an eye for how things will play out in the future. Compromise by evolving steadily, not suddenly. We must free ourselves from reliance on traditions and what is familiar, so that we might be more open to the new insights and information that will be accessible during the next seven years.
MERCURY RETROGRADE IN SAGITTARIUS (09 ~ 29 Nov)
Honesty overshoots and tact takes a vacation. Our ambitions might need some rethinking. Go back over old writing, plans, or promises with fresh eyes. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s authenticity with accuracy. Be especially conscious of the thoughts and emotions that arise on 12 November. Take a deeper dive into what we believe and into our motivations. Notice where beliefs need fact-checking and where opinions could use humility. Don’t attempt to establish any grand new plans for the time being; rather, troubleshoot and look for ways to improve our approach to major projects so that we can move ahead full steam at the end of the month.
