Astrology Forecast November 17 – 23, 2025

The week begins with the Moon in Libra, encouraging balance, fairness, emotional clarity, and relational steadiness. Libra energy invites us to restore equilibrium where things have felt uneven or pulled off-center.

Today is about tending to the quality of our connections, not just the function of them. If recent conversations, decisions, or exchanges have felt tense or unclear, today provides a chance to recalibrate.

During the afternoon*, Mercury in Sagittarius forms a sextile to Pluto in Aquarius. This aspect supports deeper mental insight and honest self-reflection. Conversations may take on a more meaningful tone, and you may find yourself thinking about foundational truths.

If there is something that needs to be said, consider speaking from calm certainty rather than urgency. This is an aspect that allows communication to hold weight without heaviness. It is not about confrontation. It is about clarifying where you stand, gently but firmly.

Later in the afternoon, the Moon in Libra forms a quincunx to Neptune in Pisces. This may create temporary emotional confusion or sensitivity.

You may feel unsure about your feelings or uncertain about how others are responding. Rather than seeking reassurance externally, take a moment to sit with your inner experience. There is wisdom in the pause. Let feelings reveal themselves instead of chasing explanation.

Shortly afterward, the Moon in Libra forms another quincunx, this time to Uranus in Taurus. This adds restlessness to the emotional atmosphere. You may feel pulled between a desire for peace and a desire for change.

This is not a sign that something is wrong. It simply indicates that growth is trying to occur. If you feel reactive, take a breath before responding. If you feel the urge to withdraw, step back gently rather than abruptly. The goal today is to adjust rather than disrupt.

Tuesday, November 18: Depth & Inner Work

Today, the Moon moves into Scorpio, deepening emotional awareness and turning the focus inward. The day may feel slower or more reflective. If external tasks do not progress easily, do not force momentum. This is a time to listen to what is happening beneath the surface.

Mercury also enters Scorpio in the evening and immediately begins its retrograde phase in Scorpio. This marks the beginning of a twenty-day cycle of mental and emotional excavation. Conversations, memories, desires, and unresolved thoughts may rise to the surface. You are not being asked to solve everything at once. You are being asked to witness what is real.

Wednesday, November 19: Transformative Self-Honesty

The Moon in Scorpio forms a quintile to Pluto in Aquarius during the morning. This aspect encourages psychological clarity and transformative awareness. You may understand something today that you previously did not have language for. Self-honesty is powerful and grounding.

Later in the day, the Moon in Scorpio forms a quincunx to Chiron in Aries. This may bring awareness to a tender emotional area, particularly around identity, self-value, or personal agency. If you feel sensitive, allow space for that tenderness. Healing is not always dramatic. Sometimes it is simply recognizing what you feel and allowing yourself to hold it without judgment.

Thursday, November 20: New Cycles Begin

A Scorpio New Moon occurs early, marking a period of internal renewal and the beginning of a new emotional cycle. This is an opportune moment to set intentions related to truth, emotional empowerment, transformation, and clarity of purpose. Scorpio energy supports deep commitment and authentic desire. Choose intentions that feel meaningful rather than performative.

Shortly after, the Moon enters Sagittarius, shifting the emotional tone toward openness, curiosity, and forward movement. The early intensity gives way to increased optimism and perspective.

During the morning, the Moon in Sagittarius forms a sextile to Pluto in Aquarius. This encourages confident self-direction and a sense of empowerment. You are supported in trusting your own decisions and judgments.

Also today, Uranus in Taurus forms a sextile to Neptune in Pisces. This is a subtle but meaningful aspect that encourages spiritual insight and long-range intuitive understanding. Ideas may come through dreams, impressions, or sudden knowing. Inspiration today is quiet but clear.

Friday, November 21: Light Returning

The Sun enters Sagittarius today, beginning a four-week cycle that restores optimism, expansion, humor, and philosophical perspective. After the depth of recent Scorpio focus, this shift feels like a breath of fresh air.

In the morning, the Sun in Scorpio forms a trine to Neptune in Pisces. This supports compassion, gentleness, forgiveness, and emotional softening. If you have felt distant from yourself or others, this aspect helps dissolve barriers. You can reconnect without forcing anything.

Mercury in Scorpio forms a conjunction with Lilith in Scorpio today. This may bring hidden thoughts or unspoken feelings to the surface. If something wants to be expressed, it may emerge directly or indirectly. Use this moment to speak truthfully, but maintain emotional discipline. Honesty should be clear, grounded, and calm, not sharp or fueled by old hurt.

Saturday, November 22: Integration & Realignment

The day begins with Venus in Scorpio forming a quintile to Pluto in Aquarius. This supports emotional depth, meaningful attraction, and sincere connection. If you are navigating relationship dynamics, this aspect encourages authenticity rather than surface-level exchange.

Later, Mercury in Scorpio forms a trine to Saturn in Pisces. This is a stabilizing influence. Your thoughts and communication become more structured and grounded. It is easier to articulate what you feel and what you require.

In the afternoon, the Moon in late Sagittarius forms a square to Neptune in Pisces. This may produce temporary emotional fog or longing. Avoid assumptions. Allow clarity to return naturally.

By the evening, Mercury in Scorpio forms a trine to Jupiter in Cancer. This is supportive, expansive, and grounding. Conversations may flow more easily, and understanding may deepen.

Sunday, November 23: Steady Ground

The Sun in Sagittarius forms a sextile to Pluto in Aquarius today. This aspect strengthens confidence and personal agency. You may feel clearer about your direction and more certain about what comes next.

In the evening, the Moon in Capricorn forms a quintile to Saturn in Pisces. This encourages emotional maturity, patience, steadiness, and realistic self-care. The week concludes on a grounded and centered note.
