This is another consequential month, Cancer, for you and everyone else, with an emphasis on the revolutionary transformation implied by Uranus and Pluto in close and highlighted trine. The recent late Libra New Moon from the previous month strongly affects the first half of this one, with all three outer planets being again featured. Uranus at the very beginning of your twelfth sector of unconscious process and inner work, with Pluto also speaking to your emotional and evolutionary depths, makes for a combined tremendous internal force urging you to take a deep dive into what is going on below the surface layers of your psyche. The vast realm of the Unconscious, as described in Jungian psychology, points the way to this huge and little-understood area of your psyche that can break through to severely influence your day-to-day real-world choices. An effective model might be the outline of an iceberg at sea, with some of it showing above water and yet with most of it invisible. As you are being led to explore your own unconscious process, there is also inner wounding that could easily arise, especially with Jupiter in your sign now, as he stations mid-month, making a close square to a very tight Chiron– Eris conjunction in the tenth or career sector of your chart. This is immediately quite strong and brings much of your conscious thought there after the New Moon of the 19th. It could be that vestiges of early childhood trauma could show up to interfere with vocational choices and with finding your pathway forward into true authenticity. If so, the recipe is to fully accept yourself in these dark places and to provide comfort and healing to the hurt and wounded child hidden within you. There is amazing progress that you can make in this way with inner demons that transform to interior angel presences.

As a Cancer, your home and your family is always on your mind but this lunar cycle which began on the recent New Moon in Libra from October brought with it a fresh incentive to reconnect with your roots in a way that you perhaps hadn’t done in a while. Your foundation directly influences who you can become, what you can accomplish and your ability to envision yourself beyond your current status quo. With Pluto in Aquarius also featured in the recent New Moon, the transformational intensity of your close connections, legacies, or partnership agreements keeps up and might result in major changes. Your intuition is also strong right now, and can tell you true when mere logic might fail, giving you access to the bigger picture when you can see fit to acknowledge it. Jupiter in your sign is also featured in this New Moon and offers a unique opportunity to ease into a new way of being, perhaps considering adapting to the role of a teacher, a mentor to those in your life who need that. There also could be a way to simply acknowledging the wisdom you have accumulated over time.
From the 1st to the 2nd, Venus in Libra forms a square with Jupiter and is opposed to Chiron in Aries. If factors of inner wounding, as symbolized by Chiron, do arise, the recipe there is to apply loving acceptance and reassurance to these hidden and walled off parts of yourself, usually the result of early childhood trauma. As family dynamics change, so does your ability to focus on different goals and this could be a moment of re-evaluation.
Mars in Scorpio forming a trine with Neptune in Pisces on the 3rd could also find you dreaming of new avenues in which to explore your passions. If the sky is the limit then you can dream the impossible. Let your imagination be your guide at this time and be selective with your attention. It could be easier than usual to scatter your thoughts in a million directions. With Jupiter currently transiting in Cancer, make sure to focus on what you want to see expand in your life for growth, is very much the name of the game for you right now.
Mars transiting in Sagittarius starting on November 4th (to mid-December) could boost your desire to get physical. You might find satisfaction in simply moving your body, going hiking or taking a fitness class in the coming weeks so keep that in mind if you find yourself getting restless.
The Full Moon in Taurus culminates on November 5th shining a supportive light on your dreams, your aspirations, and your passions. Jupiter in your sign closely trines Saturn, bringing a sense of responsibility and reminding you of limitations that must always be taken into account along with recent enthusiasm. The opposition of the Moon in your social sector opposed to the Sun in your creativity zone could also serve to remind you that your projects – while they reflect your individual skillsets – also function is a wider area of community, world, and universe. This could be an integrative moment when you can find satisfaction in what you have already accomplished and feel more at ease with your role amongst your peers or in your community.
Venus enters passionate Scorpio on the 6th and forms a square with Pluto in Aquarius on the 6th and 7th which can be a creative aspect if you are willing to explore your desires more deeply. Superficial conversations may be harder to maintain under such skies and as Uranus retrogrades back into Taurus on the same day, it may be synchronistic encounters with others that offer the most satisfaction.
Mercury turns retrograde in Sagittarius on the 9th and will be retrograding back into Scorpio on the 18th, turning direct on the 29th, and finally escaping its post-retrograde shadow of December 16th. The next several weeks you will be reflecting on many things including the wellsprings of your creative impulses, and also could emphasize important dynamics with your children or a desire to involve yourself more actively with your creativity and your passions.
Jupiter also turns retrograde in Cancer on the 11th the same day as the Moon’s Last Quarter. This indicates another turning point in the month, perhaps a reevaluation of your energetic investments to create more space for what you love as the year winds down to its close.
Mid-November could bring some important insights thanks to the Sun in Scorpio forming a Grand Water trine with Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces. This is usually considered an easy aspect albeit easy to miss due to its more positive influence. The temptation could be to simply go with the flow but that is not a bad thing either. The Dalai Lama – who is one of the most famous Cancerians – said: ‘’To be in flow means to be totally absorbed in whatever one is doing at the moment.’’ This flow state could be easier to reach than usual for you at this time so take advantage of this moment to find activities that you love.
On November 18th, Mercury retrogrades back into Scorpio and the shift in the energy could be significant as the New Moon also dawns, the next evening.
The New Moon in late Scorpio lands late evening of the 19th, early morning the 20th for the east coast and Europe. The Sun and Moon conjunct Mercury for one of the most important moments in the entire Mercury Retrograde cycle., emphasizing the introspective mood. This is a super-charged moment in the current month and continues the emphasis on revolutionary breakthrough signaled by Pluto, again featured, along with Uranus and Neptune. Although this can be a challenging time, I think that you are well equipped to deal with the transformational impetus that comes with this New Moon. This period until the end of November brings many opportunities to recommit to what you love, to focus on your creative and romantic life along with any children in your life.
The Sun entering Sagittarius on November 21st will energize the part of your chart that relates to your routine, your health and your habits. Since Mars has already been transiting in Sagittarius for a few weeks you might already be preoccupied with these topics but the Sun here for the next month will help you stick to a plan when it comes to implementing more movements or better habits into your schedule.
On November 27th, Saturn stations direct in Pisces after having been retrograde since mid-July. Saturn will start to retrace territory it has already covered a few times since early 2025 which for you may have something to do with a learning journey you have been on. It may be time to acknowledge that you already know enough and that you are ready to take your skills a step further, and perhaps applies what you have learned into a professional context in 2026. Mercury turns direct in Scorpio on the 29th just a few days after Saturn in Pisces which could further emphasize the path ahead.
Things should feel relatively fluid at the end of November although you may feel a sense of restlessness and a desire to get moving with your goals.
