November 2025 Energy Update: Releasing Emotions and Shifting Consciousness
Collectively, we are at a profoundly spiritual transition point. How we think and perceive reality is shifting, which can feel unsettling and uncertain.
As the month of November begins, we are already in the early degrees of the Astrological sign of Scorpio. The astrological symbolism is rich and often literal. Scorpio represents the unseen realms, mystery, secrets and transformation. Darkness is descending as we enter winter, and so our thoughts and feelings can also become darker and more internalised.
The energy is somewhat stagnant and flow does not come easily with Scorpio. We need to make a concerted effort to allow and process whatever comes up. We will experience this more pleasantly if we do not hold on to anything that wants to leave our lives.
On 5th November we have a Full Moon in Taurus highlighting our values, finances and resources. We would be wise to set our conscious desires aside and tap into our deeper subconscious to understand what is really driving us. Feelings and emotions are always highlighted with a full moon and particularly so with Scorpio energy which is emotional and intense. We may find that we are seeking financial security to feel safe. With Venus in a powerful position, something may come to fruition enabling us to finally transform our relationship to money.
We may feel that so much has happened and yet we still find ourselves in the same place. Confusion is a strong theme in the collective psyche and we may find that we are rhetorically asking ourselves: “Where am I now?”
The third and final Mercury retrograde of 2025 occurs between 10th – 29th November. This is an ideal time to reflect and review where we are and refine our plans. With Mercury in Sagittarius retrograding back into Scorpio we need to keep our eye fixed on the target, whilst reassessing and redefining the path to reach our goals.
On 17th November, Mercury is in a collaborative conversation with Pluto giving us the impetus to speak out and gain control in a matter. By the 19th, however, Uranus – associated with unexpected, shocks and surprises – is in a tense aspect to Mercury. We can be more outspoken and unafraid to upset anyone with our views. It’s wise to avoid telling anyone that they are wrong. This is the ideal opportunity to lead people into seeing other perspectives in a situation. We may also find that we receive some news or information out-of-the-blue.
The New Moon occurring on 20th November carries the energy of the Mercury retrograde. We may find that we have a broader perspective on issues and are able to communicate our real feelings. However, kindness and compassion for ourselves and others is what is called for at this time. The sun and moon form powerful aspects to both Neptune and Uranus, so this is the time to really focus on our long-term dreams, which will likely come into manifestation once Neptune moves back into Aries early next year.
On 24th November we are reminded again of this energy as Mars plays a supportive role in helping us aim for our goals.
As the month comes to the close, we have a supportive flow of energy between Venus, Jupiter and Uranus (now retrograde in Taurus), so we may get an unexpected surprise relating to our money or resources – especially if we have been waiting for an issue to resolve or are owed something. We may feel the residual energy of a matter that occurred at the beginning of the month and wonder if we have made progress. If we have worked with the deeper issues, we will start gain more clarity and begin to feel the uncertainty dissipate.
