The first few days of November are lining up to deliver serious cosmic pressure—and real opportunity.
On November 4, Mars enters Sagittarius and brings an expansive, action-oriented jolt, the kind that will have us reeling for days, if not weeks.
Just two days later, on November 6, Venus slips into Scorpio, intensifying our emotional undercurrents and demanding raw honesty in love, money, and values.
And then on November 9, Mercury stations retrograde in Sagittarius, pulling communication, plans, and belief systems into a state of flux.
Together, this is far from a mild ripple, and we need to prepare for it.
让我们仔细看看。
1. Mars Entering Sagittarius, November 4
When Mars enters Sagittarius on November 4, it moves into new territory of 火 和 自由.
The ever-courageous and ever-assertive Mars dictates how we push forward. In Sagittarius, the fire of Mars steers us to expand, explore, speak the truth, and challenge limitations.
Mars remains in Sagittarius from November 4 until December 15, meaning this isn’t just a brief flicker. No, it’s a sustained phase.
Under this transit, you’ll feel more 冒险的 but also more 神不守舍. Routines are suddenly suffocating. You’re more susceptible to risk-taking and compulsive behavior.
Of course, a transit like this favors boldness. But that always comes with danger. And that danger is 过度自信, biting off more than you can chew.
Because Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign, the energy can scatter—lots of impulses, lots of enthusiasm. It can be a ‘go big’ kind of phase, but you’ll want to temper it.
That energy is 非常 powerful and it needs to be channeled correctly.
Use Mars in Sagittarius to charge forward in areas where your vision aligns with your values.
But know that everywhere Mars fights, it also bruises—so self-care, reflection, and rest are essential.
2. Venus Entering Scorpio, November 6
Just as Mars stirs outward motion and creates chaos, Venus nudges the emotional depth when she enters Scorpio on November 6.
Venus governs love, beauty, values, relationships, and dries. But in Scorpio, it takes on the mission of 蜕变. It’s intense and it always unveils what’s hidden.
During Venus in Scorpio, relationships feel heavier and harder—but also more real.
Secrets have an unusual habit of revealing themselves. On top of that, you’ll find yourself incapable of tolerating or entertaining anything surface level. You want the truth.
This transit brings about probing questions. What are you hiding? What do you really, really want in life? Scorpio isn’t fixed water, so it will always resist any half measures.
When illusions fall away during this transit, the 清晰度 is unprecedented.
Venus offers the gift of healing and regeneration. It sheds what’s toxic and helps you reclaim your worth.
However, pain and betrayal are magnified. So, you might oscillate between craving closeness and wanting to hide. To survive this, you’ll need emotional courage and awareness.
If you can do that, Venus in Scorpio can help you purge illusions and set a foundation of emotional truth.
3. Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius, November 9
On November 9, Mercury turns retrograde in Sagittarius.
Mercury is infamous for making our 通讯 和 心灵澄澈 go wonky.
In Sagittarius, these disturbances affect ideas, philosophy, and beliefs.
While Mercury wants us to revisit and reflect—when placed in Sagittarius, it forces another kind of review.
During this retrograde, plans are often derailed and words misinterpreted.
You start to question your beliefs or feel intellectually disoriented. Because Sagittarius loves certainty, there’s a friction. You want to grasp the big picture, but the details blur.
Now’s not the time for rash decision-making. Slow down instead.
Use the retrograde to practice 耐心 和 怜悯之心. Changes are unfolding and it’s hard to find your footing while the dust is still in the air. Give it time. Give 你自己 time.
What’s more, people from your past might suddenly reappear in your life, but it’s not without reason. They resurface to challenge your worldview and teach you new lessons.
Humility in what you know for certain goes a long way now, as well as patience for what remains unsettled.
4. What All of This Means Together
This three-pronged tension is sure to challenge us in multiple ways.
Mars in Sagittarius, Venus in Scorpio, and Mercury retrograde together create a crucible in which you’re constantly testing what you believe, what you feel, and what you act upon.
On one level, Mars urges expansion and bold risk. On another, Venus demands depth, truth, and emotional reckoning.
Meanwhile, Mercury is pulling back the curtain on whatever in your ideology or communication is wrong or incomplete.
You may feel tugged in opposite directions. You might feel drawn to someone deeply, only to get pushed away by their blind spots.
November will have a lot of 紧张 和 不确定性 when it begins.
The effect can feel very disorienting. One moment you’re brimming with conviction, the next you’re haunted by insecurity. But it also offers a rare opportunity.
You can weed out false promises, clarify what’s real, forge alignment among your belief, emotions, and actions, and emerge with more grounded momentum.
If you can tolerate the discomfort, this period is a spiritual stress test that reveals what holds and what fractures under pressure.
5. How to Prepare
You don’t have to be at the mercy of these shifts. The key is to approach early November with 认识 instead of resistance. Think of this as a revision phase, not an initiation.
It’s smarter to take it slow until Mercury stations direct.
Use this period to refine, polish, and test what’s already in motion rather than forcing progress.
Give yourself space to breathe, too. Process what’s unfolding instead of reacting impulsively.
Writing things down will help you stay centered. Journaling can reveal hidden beliefs, emotional triggers, and patterns that Venus in Scorpio is pushing to the surface.
Reflect before you speak, especially when tensions rise. Draft your words, reread messages, and make sure you actually understand what others mean before jumping to conclusions.
Mars in Sagittarius wants action, but channel it into 小, 有意义的步骤—tasks that move things forward without overwhelming you.
This period also demands solid boundaries. Don’t let others’ intensity or confusion pull you into their chaos. Stay grounded through physical routines.
As Mercury retrograde reshapes your thinking, that awareness becomes your compass.
Approach the month this way, and the chaos won’t derail you. It’ll refine you. You’ll step out of early November clearer, more focused, and more aligned with your deeper truth.
