Astrological Forecast: November 3–9, 2025
This week is the last calm breath before Mercury throws the car into reverse — if you can call a week with Mars, Uranus, and a Full Moon in Taurus calm. The Messenger God isn’t technically retrograde until Sunday, but you can already hear the gears grinding. Emails vanish into the void, autocorrect commits slander, and people start resurrecting conversations you swore were dead and buried. Welcome to the pre-show of Mercury Retrograde, where foreshadowing is the main event.
The theme? “Foreshadowing and fine print.” What’s surfacing now will become the storyline of the next three weeks. Pay attention to repetition — the names, topics, and issues that keep circling back are your clues. Mercury in Sagittarius is notorious for running its mouth faster than its brain, so before the retrograde hits on Sunday, check your facts, tighten your boundaries, and keep receipts. The goal isn’t to hide from chaos; it’s to spot the pattern early enough to dance with it.
Meanwhile, Mars is busy changing signs, Uranus is shaking the foundation, and Venus is about to dive into Scorpio’s dark waters — which means emotions, ambition, and truth all want a word with you. The Full Moon midweek in Taurus will highlight what’s real, what’s reliable, and what’s overdue for a reality check. By the weekend, you’ll know exactly what Mercury plans to review — because the storylines will already be writing themselves.
So, sharpen your pencils, proofread your plans, and expect foreshadowing everywhere. The retrograde doesn’t begin until Sunday, but the shadow’s already whispering: “You sure you meant that?”
Monday, November 3, 2025 — Mars in Scorpio trine Neptune in Pisces Rx
Mood: Focused, soulful, and slightly spooky (in a good way).
This gorgeous water-trine blends Scorpio’s surgical precision with Pisces’ dreamlike intuition. You see beneath the surface of everything today—motives, opportunities, emotional subtext—and it’s intoxicating. This is ideal for creative breakthroughs, shadow work, and finally trusting your instincts.
How it shows up: You could get flashes of inspiration that feel downright psychic, or realize someone’s motives without a word being said. Watch your dreams tonight—they’re practically leaving Post-It notes on your subconscious refrigerator.
Work it: Channel this magic into something tangible: art, strategy, or boundary-setting. If you’re feeling unmotivated, set a goal that feels sacred, not just practical. Scorpio doesn’t move without meaning.
Action step: Write down one ambition that actually scares you—and then one action you can take today to make it real.
Tuesday, November 4, 2025 — Mars enters Sagittarius & opposes Uranus in Gemini Rx
Mood: Bold, restless, mildly chaotic.
Mars gallops into Sagittarius, shouting, “Let’s go on an adventure!”—only to immediately get photobombed by Uranus in Gemini yelling, “Surprise!” Expect detours, tech hiccups, or people testing your patience. It’s pure volatility—half rebel yell, half philosophical awakening.
How it shows up: You want freedom, but everyone seems to have an opinion about it. Schedules explode, conversations escalate, and someone will absolutely send an “I didn’t mean to hit send” message.
Work it: The best way to use this energy is to pivot, not panic. Uranus wants to break chains, Mars wants to act. If you channel that drive into experimentation rather than argument, you could uncover genius solutions—or at least a killer new strategy.
Action step: Before reacting to any surprise or confrontation, say: “Interesting.” Then take a walk. Distance converts impulse into insight.
Wednesday, November 5, 2025 — Full Moon in Taurus
Mood: Grounded clarity after emotional static.
If you’ve been running on caffeine and chaos, the Full Moon in Taurus is here with a cosmic blanket and a reminder to slow down. This lunation highlights security, values, and what it actually takes to feel safe—financially, emotionally, and physically.
How it shows up: You might realize you’ve been over-investing in something that doesn’t reciprocate (a person, job, or even a lifestyle). Taurus demands balance: effort must meet reward.
Work it: Make it tactile. Declutter. Cook something that reminds you you’re human. Set real-world boundaries. The moonlight hits the truth of what’s sustainable—and what isn’t.
Action step: Ask yourself: “If I stopped trying to prove I’m enough, what would I choose?” Then do one small thing that honors that answer.
Thursday, November 6, 2025 — Mars sextile Pluto & Venus enters Scorpio
Mood: Deep, determined, and magnetic enough to bend spoons.
Mars in Sagittarius forms a sextile to Pluto in Aquarius, and Venus dives into Scorpio. Translation: passion meets purpose, and relationships get X-rayed for weak points. You’re not satisfied with surface-level anything—whether that’s your career, your intimacy, or your sense of direction.
How it shows up: You might feel the urge to make a decisive move—a confrontation, a confession, a big risk that aligns with your truth. This is make-it-real energy. Just be aware that Venus in Scorpio also exposes possessiveness or jealousy.
Work it: Aim for transformation, not control. If something needs to evolve, guide it gently rather than forcing it. Pluto rewards integrity; Scorpio punishes fakery.
Action step: Pick one area of your life to purge dishonesty. That could mean rewriting a bio, ending a half-hearted relationship, or finally being transparent about what you actually want.
Friday, November 7, 2025 — Uranus retrogrades back into Taurus
Mood: Shaken, not destroyed.
Uranus slips back into Taurus for one last encore, revisiting themes from 2018–2024—money, stability, and the messy business of self-worth. If something trembles under the weight of change this week, it’s not a punishment—it’s an invitation to innovate.
How it shows up: Sudden financial shifts, career curveballs, or literal tech malfunctions (especially with Mercury still retrograde). Old insecurities about stability could resurface, but now you’ve got the tools to respond differently.
Work it: Ask what’s outdated about your definition of security. Are you clinging to what’s familiar or building something that can actually last? Taurus resists change, but Uranus refuses to be ignored—so compromise by evolving steadily, not suddenly.
Action step: Simplify your finances. Cancel one recurring expense that no longer adds value. Liberation begins with one less subscription.
Saturday, November 8, 2025 — Moon in Cancer
Mood: Soft-shell crab. Vulnerable but powerful.
After a week of power plays and plot twists, the Moon in Cancer asks for comfort. Cue nostalgia, home projects, and emotional flashbacks. It’s a great day to recharge, but watch the tendency to cling or retreat into the past.
How it shows up: You might binge old shows, call an ex, or cry over commercials. It’s all data—Cancer moons remind you where your emotional batteries actually recharge.
Work it: Nurture without smothering. Clean your space, make soup, or comfort your inner child. Emotional honesty is the superpower today—no more pretending you’re invincible.
Action step: Do one act of care for your future self—laundry counts, meal prep counts, journaling your feelings counts.
Sunday, November 9, 2025 — Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius
Mood: Existential stand-up comedy.
If you’ve said something this week and immediately thought, “Maybe I shouldn’t have tweeted that,” congratulations—you’re living Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius. This is the “truth serum” transit, where honesty overshoots and tact takes a vacation.
How it shows up: Travel plans go sideways, your GPS gaslights you, and group chats turn into philosophy class. You’ll notice where your beliefs need fact-checking and where your opinions could use humility.
Work it: Revise your worldview. Sagittarius loves big ideas but often skips the fine print. Go back over old writing, plans, or promises with fresh eyes. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s authenticity with accuracy.
Action step: Write down three beliefs you’ve outgrown and what’s replacing them. Growth begins when you stop arguing for your limitations.
The Weekly Takeaway: Rewrite, Don’t Repeat
This week isn’t about punishment; it’s about precision. Mercury Retrograde doesn’t erase progress—it demands clarity. The Full Moon in Taurus grounds that awareness into reality, and Mars in Sagittarius gives you the fire to act on it. Yes, wires will cross, patience will thin, and Wi-Fi might stage a rebellion—but underneath the noise, you’re being given a rare gift: a chance to make your story coherent again.
The trick is simple—don’t fight the rewind. Embrace it. Edit your choices with compassion and humor. The people who reappear, the plans that glitch, the truths that sting—they’re not obstacles; they’re mirrors.
So, take a breath. Re-read the fine print. Call it back, clean it up, and correct course. By next week, you’ll thank Mercury for the mess, because what’s left standing will be built on truth—and that never goes out of retrograde.
