Astrology Forecast for November 10-16, 2025
Note: the dates in this forecast are for Pacific to Eastern time.
Unless I provide a specific timeframe, we’ll feel the energies 24-72 hours before the date I mention (the date when the planetary alignment is exact).
They’ll gain strength as they approach, and linger for 24–48 hours after, gradually fading with each passing hour.
💫 Executive Summary
This week, Mercury is freshly retrograde, as of November 9. If you need to sign a contract, read the fine print (or if you can, save it until Mercury goes direct on November 29).
And, something amazing is building in the skies! By the end of the week, the Sun, Saturn and Jupiter all harmonize in an auspicious and rare Grand Trine.
To make the most of this week's energies:
- Take some time to consider your relationship with growth and expansion. Are you growing spiritually, emotionally, or in the practical matters, such as career or finances? If not, what needs to shift? (Jupiter turns retrograde)
- Bring out your inner editor and go wild with revisions and replanning on Tuesday and Wednesday. (Mercury Retrograde is conjunct Mars).
- If you're planning to start a diet or a cleanse, Thursday and Friday bring helpful energies (waning Moon in Virgo).
- Don't miss the Grand Trine on the weekend! If you need to launch something important during Mercury Retrograde, go for a soft launch on Saturday or Sunday. And, if you're seeking love, the weekend is great for a first date.
If Your Birthday Is This Week:
Lucky you!!!! If your birthday is between November 11 - 21, the auspicious - and rare! - Grand Trine in Water will get locked in your Solar Return chart, colouring your 12 months ahead. It's a year of opportunities that can bring solid, long-term results.
Don't forget to order your Solar Return reading, to learn more about this super-auspicious planetary alignment and what it means for you this year.
If You're Working with the Lunar Cycle for Manifestation...
For the metaphysically inclined, here is an ambitious suggestion. If you're feeling overwhelmed by time pressures, do a ritual to expand time this weekend, on the Grand Trine between the Sun (you), Jupiter (expansion) and Saturn (time).
I did that once when I was run off my feet between work and other commitments, and it worked, temporarily of course. But that's a story for another day...
Ultimately though, reducing overcommitments is a more sensible way to go 😄 Three D's, my friends, three D's: what can you defer, delegate or drop?
Yes, I teach a course on working with astrology for manifestation, too. You can find it here.The course is now fully digital, and tied to the Lunar Cycle for maximum results. It's practical and hands-on, intended to help you make progress on your goals within 30 days.
Key Astro-Happenings This Week:
🪄 November 11: Jupiter Turns Retrograde
When a planet changes direction, it's our celestial reminder to reflect on your relationship with the qualities represented by this planet. And in Jupiter's case, it's "growth , expansion and opportunities ":
- Are you growing spiritually, emotionally, or in the practical matters, such as career or finances?
- Are you expanding in the right direction, aligned with your soul’s purpose?
- Do you notice and seize opportunities when they come, or do you hesitate? If yes, why?
🔥 November 12: Mercury Retrograde Conjunct Mars
Media scandals or leaks, especially involving past actions, military affairs, or political missteps are all possible early this week. There can be spirited debates about sensitive issues. Watch out for transportation or tech disruptions, too.
Best for:
- Revising or relaunching a project that previously failed due to miscommunication or lack of assertiveness
- Courageous conversations about contentious issues that have been dragging on for a while
- Editing and revising your work
- Journaling or therapy, especially if focused on anger, resentment, or suppressed thoughts.
Avoid:
- Launching new ventures, especially those involving communication, contracts, or travel.
✨November 13-14: Waning Moon in Virgo
Best for:
- Starting a diet or a cleanse.
Avoid:
- Nit-picking and being overly critical.
✨November 15-18: a Grand Trine! The Sun trines Jupiter on Nov. 16 and Saturn on Nov. 17
A rare and majestic planetary alignment! Too bad Mercury is retrograde, but even with that, it’s an auspicious window for first dates and business and career matters - but NOT for contracts.
Just be aware that the Moon is Balsamic as of November 16, 10:47 p.m. PST. It's not conducive to new starts, so squeeze in whatever you need to do before that.
Best for:
- Soft launches or releasing beta versions of your products.
- Reconnecting with mentors, clients, or collaborators: Past connections may yield new opportunities
- Rebranding
- Journaling about your legacy goals: what are you building that will outlive you?
Avoid:
- Even with this amazing Grand Trine in the skies, it's still an inauspicious time for signing contracts.
🌘 November 16, 10:47 p.m. to November 19 , 10:47 p.m. PST: Balsamic Moon.
There is just a tiny little sliver of the Moon left in the sky... not enough power to help your new and important undertakings to take off the ground.
Best for:
- Tying loose ends
- Decluttering
- Recharging.
Create some energetic space in your life and your home, to welcome new beginnings on the upcoming New Moon.
Avoid:
- Initiating important undertakings - Balsamic Moon is inauspicious for new beginnings.
Some food for thought, by Justin Welsh: "Modern luxury is the ability to think clearly, sleep deeply, move slowly, and live quietly in a world designed to prevent all four".
