The Sun enters the sign of Sagittarius on November 21st at 6:52 p.m., Mountain Time. Sagittarius is a fire sign and is associated with the biggest planet of all, Jupiter. Sagittarius is abstract, curious, adventurous, opinionated and candid. Typical Sagittarius occupations include being an academic, explorer, publisher, lawyer and translator. If you want to take a road trip, ask your Sag friend to be a traveling companion.
This month opens with Mercury already in retrograde motion and going backwards from November 11th – 29th. Mercury turns retrograde three times a year for three weeks each time. These are perfect periods to clean things out and release whatever is broken or no longer needed. The retrograde is in Scorpio, which might stir deep emotions. Feel them, and then let them go.
Saturn and Neptune have also been retrograding in Pisces for the last few months, stirring up old issues that need to be fixed. They will both be turning direct soon. Saturn goes direct on November 27th, and Neptune turns direct on December 9th. Saturn means business when he turns direct, wanting to finish all the things he was planning during the retrograde phase. The two planets won’t enter Aries until January and February 2026, which is when things will move forward in your life, as well as in the world. The Retrograde Parade I wrote about is a time of planning for future change.
Jupiter is still in the sign of Cancer and is doing a retrograde until March 2026. That means that Jupiter will be in a trine aspect to both Saturn and Neptune in Pisces… blue lines for months. Jupiter in Cancer is all about people working together to help society. Many philanthropic organizations will be started as a result. Reach out to your community and offer assistance. It will make you feel good as you help others. This is also a suitable time to do any renovations on your home.
Regarding the visible planets, both Venus and Mars are too close to the Sun to be seen now. But we can still see Jupiter in the pre-dawn sky and Saturn in the evening sky.
See you next in Capricorn.
