October 26th/The week ahead:Mars Mayhem Ahead (MMA). Mars enters Scorpio tomorrow (27th), where it will remain until December 7th. Mars in Scorpio is one of the most troublesome placements, in my opinion, for mundane affairs. It usually shows a time of conflict, backstabbing and even violence. So those are all possibilities until December. This week, specifically, is interesting as Saturn-Jupiter-Mars will form a grand trine in the water signs. This could unlock strong emotions and protests around the world.
Personal: We should be aware of others, as they can similarly be too emotional and prone to confrontation. Still, a silver-lining of this transit is that we might understand something important about ourselves and our emotions. New depths and improvement to our relationships could come out of this.
We start the end of 2025 in true 2025 fashion, a mixed bag. First, the good news, Venus moves into Libra. It was in Virgo since October 9th. This is the worst sign for Venus, promoting disharmony and conflict, specially in regards to love matters. With Venus in Libra, November will fare much better in that regard.
Mars will be in Scorpio from then until December 7th. Mars in Scorpio is a vicious, vindictive and choleric influence. From my humble experience, Mars in Scorpio transits many times deal with violence and conflict coming into play. From that, I can see November being a turbulent month this year. I also find it worth giving this early warning about it.
This month will have many aspects and planetary interactions activating an already chaotic Mars. So I expect some turbulences along the way.
Also, later in the month, we have both Mercury and Jupiter turning retrograde just a few days apart. So the days between the 9th and 11th of November could show some turning point, maybe with some big information being revealed.
Going a little bit back, the Full Moon this month happens on Bharani nakshatra. It will happen along with Mars opposing Uranus. Again, showing Mars being triggered. This can deal with strong revelations or ramping up conflict in the world.
On Mercury retro, the usual precautions are recommended, as well as my favorite gif:
Mercury is the planet of communications, so everything related to communications could be slowed down. Computer problems, miscommunications, delays in deliveries and other kinds of issues become possible. Avoid mistakes by double checking and confirming things, and try to be patient when problems arise.
Events in November 2025
02/11/2025 02:46 Venus in Libra
04/11/2025 12:30 Mars Opposing Uranus 05°54’53” Scorpio 05°54’53” Taurus R
05/11/2025 08:19 Full Moon in Bharani 19°09’45” Aries
Jupiter will be retrograde from November 11th until March 10th next year. Jupiter retrograde always signals a time where we have less hope, less trust or confidence. Being the planet of luck and fortune, his retrograde cycle shows that we can’t solely rely on Lady Luck. Similarly, it could show some slow downs or bad turns in the economy.
On the 16th, the Sun will enter Scorpio. Which isn’t most people’s favorite sign, but this is good news. The Sun is debilitated in Libra, promoting leadership issues or problems with those in power. The move to Scorpio is good for the Sun
The New Moon this month happens in Anuradha nakshatra, with an opposition to Uranus and Mercury retrograde very close-by. The New Moon could deal with shocking information coming out.
Around the 23rd, Mars will be in the exact mid-point of Rahu and Ketu. Mars and the Nodes are a fiery combo. So that week can deal with conflict and aggression, maybe even violence.
On the 27th, Saturn will turn direct. Some delays and slow downs can happen around late November, under this influence. Still, Saturn direct is great news, as it is easier to put things into perspective and externalize what we want to improve.
Summary
This text started excellent when I titled it “September” instead of November. What can I say? Turning back time is a wish that everyone has. I would get so many winning lottery tickets!
Mundane
I see Mars in Scorpio and I think of mischief, trouble and fighting. I can’t help it! So I see November as a time of conflict and complications.
The almost simultaneous change of Mercury and Jupiter, with them turning retrograde, is also interesting. That shows me people going back on their word. Deals and agreements being undone. Which, painting a complete picture, could be the trigger to the conflict above.
Events this November deal a lot with volatility and change. There is also a mischievous undertone. Seemingly innocuous deals made now can lead to troublesome consequences later, which could be cleared up early next year.
Some key dates:
4th-5th: around the Full Moon
9th-11th: Mercury and Jupiter turning retro
20th-30th: Mars very active, possible conflict or violence.
21st: Sun opo Uranus, turning points, specially in leadership
23rd: exact Mars-Rahu-Ketu aspect
27th: Saturn direct
29th: Mercury direct
Personal
On a personal level, this month improves the mood, specially in regards to love matters. Venus in Libra will clear the air in many ways.
Mercury retrograde makes November not the best time for travel. Glitches, delays and problems are possible. If you have to travel, double check everything and try to have contingencies.
Above, I talked a lot about Mars, mostly on a mundane level. But it also affects us personally. Mars in Scorpio is very conductive towards getting to the truth, going beyond the veil of conventions, making this a great time to reflect and discover more about ourselves.
This Mars deals a lot with passion. So we can be really invested in what we are passionate about, and really uninvested on things we don’t really care about. Are you feeling it now, Mr Krabs? If you aren’t, this transit can trigger you towards moving on. Overall, Mars in Scorpio shows bold stances.
It is a moment where we feel joy in taking action, without much care for consequences, fears or restrictions. So it can be a powerful time for change and improvement, turning a new leaf and doing hard and needed work in your life.
I can’t believe it’s been three whole years! I’ve started this website in October 2022, and here we are.
It’s been a weird October for me, I spent most of the month sick, down with a bad flu. I’m still a little under the weather, but this week I finally started seeing some improvement, feeling good and strong again.
While enjoying my sickness, I took some time to analyze the Astrology of 2026, which I can’t wait to write and publish about in the coming two months.
I suck at emotional speeches (because I deeply dislike them), so I’ll share some random thoughts instead:
Better social media: You saw someone doing clickbait? Block that account on the spot, never again! I do that, and my feed is as clean as an ICU. Marketing Morons™ (who specialize in clickbait) hate my guts when I tell them this, which gives me great strength and joy that I’ll forever cherish.
How was 2025? What a ride!
How will 2026 be? What a ride!
Love: Venus in Virgo is making love matters suck this month. I’ve been getting complaints. I know, I know. Just hold out, take a breather, Venus will enter Libra on November 2nd and things will get much better.
New Moon: The New Moon this Tuesday (21st) deals a lot with confusion and things being obscured. So getting a clear picture or understanding of something is hard now. Same as above, it will pass.
To end things, I share the beautiful song that I was listening to while writing this:
Tel est mon destin (This is my destiny)
Je vais mon chemin (I go my own way)
Ainsi passent mes heures (This is how my time passes)
Au rythme entêtant des battements de mon cœur (To the intense rhythm of the beats of my heart)
