This is an important month for you, Gemini, as you come into novel vistas on partnership understanding. The New Moon from the very beginning of November features Mars, Neptune, and Mercury, your ruler, in a grand trine, so that there is potentially an idealistic vision within you, lasting all month, for what the possibilities are with social connections and friendships that you favor, cherished future goals, and beneficial relationship growth. Because Mercury is also beginning its month-long retrograde journey later this month as well, on the 25th, there could be a good deal of introspection involved in future weeks. You will be reflectively assessing what is going on with you as far as partners and the conundrums that can often be the case with close interpersonal relationships. The Taurus Full Moon of November 15th is another significant juncture, when your innermost intuition has an important role to play as you more fully embrace ideals of service to others, and of partnership interaction in general. As the Sun enters Sagittarius on the 21st and as the Mercury Retrograde takes hold a few days further on, partners become an even more vital force within your life enabling you to reach for integration of inner and outer concerns as well as personal evolution.

November promises to be a busy month for you with the New Moon in Scorpio on the 1st taking place in the sector of your chart that relates to day-to-day life, health and routine habits. This is also a New Moon configuration where we find Mercury, your ruler, located on the edge of your opposite sign of Sagittarius, in a grand trine with Neptune and with Mars. This presages a November month with a lot of energy and passion for either somewhat destructive impulses to be unleashed or else, receiving the call of our higher angels, for acting on the impulse to try for the most idealistic of outcomes. There will probably be some of both that we will be seeing as this intense month continues to unwind.
With Scorpio Season in full swing, and in your sector of health and habit, you also may feel the need to simplify, declutter, purge and get rid of things that create stagnation in your environment. This could equally apply to your mind or in your body where this attitude might come to important fruition. Better time management may be essential not only to get through your work and ongoing projects but to ensure that you also have time left to unplug and relax.
On November 2nd, Mercury, your ruling planet, enters the fiery sign of Sagittarius, which is also your opposite sign, signifying your relationships. This transit might therefore bring attention to your partnerships in this second day of the month and over the weeks ahead, especially after it retrogrades there, beginning on the 25th. Contractual agreements and negotiations along with your entire relationship dynamic will be up for review, readjustment, and reconsideration, and take longer to work themselves out. You may get a hint of what this means by November 11th and 12th when Mercury forms its first of three squares with Saturn in Pisces. This square between Mercury and Saturn will occur again on December 6th when Mercury stations direct, standing once more dead still in the sky when it does so. Over this entire 5 ½ week period of time there will likely be collaborative processes that needs to get better clarified.
From November 4th to the 5th, Venus trines the Chiron/ Eris midpoint in Aries, or your social sector, which can stimulate your ideas for a more livable future for yourself, and also perhaps bring up issues of inner wounding that get in the way of you more completely actualizing your dreams and visions for yourself. It is possible that you will have some experience with friends and associates at this time that will aid your understanding of what it might take to achieve a better connection with everything that is under the surface layers of your psyche and somewhat beyond your normal waking conscious awareness.
On the 11th Venus enters Capricorn, representing your sector of intimacy and of partner agreements, which life factors might wind up contributing to your vocational arrangements.
The Full Moon in Taurus arrives on November 15th and could illuminate the ways in which stressors affect you on a deeper level so that it may be a good moment to check in with yourself. The Moon in this configuration forms a close conjunction with Trickster Uranus, implying that the moment is rife with surprises or unexpected intuitional revelations. Any grounding practices like meditation or a nature walk could be a really good way at this time to return to basics and release built up tension.
On the 17th and 18th, Mercury in Sagittarius forms an opposition with Jupiter in Gemini which may emphasize an ongoing process of personal expansion having repercussions on your relationships or on your current career trajectory. Your personal beliefs could be clashing against some kind of external authority or it could be that your ambitions threaten to disrupt the status quo in some ways.
The Sun’s entry into Sagittarius on the 21st could bring more dynamic interactions with others in the weeks ahead, especially with
Mercury in Sagittarius stations to retrograde motion on November 25th. Mercury is also square to Saturn which intensifies the moment of its standstill so that things could temporally grind to a halt for at least a few days before slowly starting up again.
You could be more aware than usual of the costs and benefits of your relational investments and adjustments made in the weeks ahead could bring significant progress and long-lasting results. Mercury will be moving retrograde from this last week of November to December 15th and recovering during its post-retrograde shadow until the end of the year, so that the following month might well be one of introspection and reorientation of relationship alignments.
