November 22nd – 24th: Family Matters, Creativity, and Emotional Healing
On November 22nd, the Moon is in early Leo in the Nakshatra Magha (the star of our ancestors). This energy brings a focus on family, heritage, and roots. It’s a time to reflect on your origins, your past, and how it’s shaping your present. Expect emotional matters to surface, especially with Mars positioned 12th from the Moon, stirring up past emotional baggage.
Family dynamics will also be prominent with Ketu in the second house from the Moon, signaling the need to address unresolved family issues. However, with Venus in the fifth house from the Moon in Sagittarius, creativity is heightened, so this is a great time for creative expression and exploring new business ventures.
As we move to November 23rd, the Moon is in the Nakshatra Purva Phalguni, which is linked to relaxation and creativity. This is an ideal time to engage in artistic pursuits, whether it’s painting, writing, or entrepreneurship. However, with Saturn opposite the Moon, there may be a sense of emotional isolation, particularly in your relationships, as your partner may not be as supportive.
On November 24th, the Moon shifts into Uttara Phalguni, a Nakshatra that highlights friendship and social connections. While family matters still require attention, this is a better time for social gatherings and creative collaborations. Still, with Mars in the 12th house, old issues are likely to resurface, and globally, we may see emotional or past matters rising to the surface.
November 25th – 27th: Mercury Retrograde, Loss, and Reflections
November 25th marks the day Mercury goes retrograde, a time when things tend to go haywire, with people changing their minds and confusion ruling the day. This Mercury retrograde will occur at 27° of Scorpio, a degree known for emotional intensity and deep transformation. You’ll feel this on a personal level, but it will also manifest globally, especially with the Moon aligned with Ketu in Virgo. The focus here will be on losses, whether personal or on a larger scale.
By November 26th, as the Moon is still in Virgo, it crosses Ketu, deepening the sense of loss, and people may become fixated on holding on to things. Mercury retrograde exacerbates confusion, making it a time to focus on rehashing, reviewing, and finishing old tasks rather than starting new ones. Venus, in the fourth house from the Moon, emphasizes beautifying your home and fixing things up, but be cautious around friends, as Mars in the 11th house can lead to conflicts with your social circle.
November 28th – 30th: Letting Go and Preparing for the New Moon
On November 28th, the Moon is in Libra, in the Nakshatra Swati. This is a time for reflection, but also for dealing with manipulative communication. Be careful not to let others influence you with their rhetoric. While Venus is in the third house from the Moon, this is a good day for reviewing your communications, writing, and revisiting projects you’ve already begun. As Mercury continues its retrograde journey, take this time to revisit and reassess rather than initiate new things.
Moving to November 29th, the Moon is still in Libra, heading into its Dark Moon phase, a time when it’s not ideal to start new ventures. This is more of a time to finish up, close out projects, and reflect on what’s been going on. Mars remains debilitated in the 10th house, so avoid workplace conflicts or pushing for career advancements during this time.
By November 30th, the Moon enters Scorpio, still in its Dark Moon phase. It’s a time to prepare for the upcoming New Moon on December 1st, which will bring fresh beginnings, but for now, it’s important to tie up loose ends and reflect on past actions. With Saturn in the fourth house, family and home matters may not be easy, and you could face challenges with domestic situations.
Conclusion: A Time of Reflection and Transformation
This last week of November is filled with intense energy, emotional challenges, and the need for introspection. With Mercury in retrograde, it’s essential to review your past decisions and be cautious about starting new things. Instead, focus on tying up loose ends, addressing family matters, and reflecting on the personal growth you’ve experienced so far this year. The intensity of the energy will eventually ease as we move into December, but for now, it’s a time to stay grounded, finish what you’ve started, and prepare for the fresh opportunities that the New Moon will bring.
As always, we’ll get through this time together, and things will improve gradually. Keep an open mind, stay focused on self-improvement, and embrace the transformative energy that’s unfolding around us.
