Rebecca Szymczak, aka Cardsy B, author of The Saturn Diaries and tarot reader to the stars, consulted her deck for guidance on which signs should ground and solidify ongoing progress under the Taurus Full Moon, and which should take bold steps to start fresh, embracing transformation as we hit peak Scorpio season.
The month begins with a Full Moon in Taurus on November 5, illuminating where patience and perseverance from the past month will now yield tangible rewards. When Mercury turns retrograde in Sagittarius on November 9, communication will begin to slow, meaning mid-month is the perfect time to reflect on recent decisions before going full steam ahead with next steps.
The New Moon in Scorpio on November 19 brings an opportunity for release and reinvention. This New Moon urges us to clear lingering attachments and to let go of stagnant projects that aren’t moving to make room for new initiatives that will bring significant abundance in the new year. As the Sun enters Sagittarius on November 21, optimism and decisiveness return, reigniting creativity and rekindling motivation after a month of edits, revisions, and introspection. By November 29, Mercury stations direct in Scorpio, restoring clarity and revealing the deeper insights that have been forming quietly beneath the surface.
November’s energy is a blend of grounding and inspired action. The first half of November invites reassessment, while the latter half ignites bold moves and renewed confidence. The end of November invites you to embrace more authenticity in your voice and in your work. Trust the timing, move with intention, and prepare to close out 2025 with purpose. Read on to discover what the cards have in store for your sign.
Aries/Aries Rising (March 21 to April 19)
Card: Knight of Pentacles
The Knight of Pentacles reminds you that both persistence and passion are key to achieving success. You might feel restless during the Taurus Full Moon as slow progress tests your patience. Stay focused now—steady consistency will help you stay on track. Projects that require long-term commitment of your time and energy will start to show tangible signs of growth when Mercury stations direct (November 29).
Highlight: Grounded Momentum
Your fiery Aries nature wants to sprint this month, but consistency rather than speed will get you closer to your goals. The Full Moon in Taurus grounds your focus, helping you refine the systems that support sustainable success. When Mercury retrogrades on the ninth, pause to evaluate how your actions align with your bigger vision, rather than pushing recklessly forward.
Heads Up: Temporary Pauses Don’t = Stagnation
Retrograde delays are powerful redirections. Stay grounded, review your workflow, and use the final week of the month, once Mercury turns direct, to solidify new plans with confidence.
Mantra: Hold On, We’re Going Home
– Drake
Taurus/Taurus Rising (April 20 to May 20)
Card: The Empress
The Empress boosts creativity, prosperity, and confidence. When aligned with the Full Moon’s energy on November 5, The Empress reminds you of how much abundance you’ve successfully created in the past by acting from trust instead of fear. This card indicates both material and emotional rewards coming this month for the hard work you’ve put in since mid-year.
Highlight: Harvest Season
The Taurus Full Moon brings completion to a key endeavor. Simultaneously, a project or business relationship may blossom in ways that validate an intuitive feeling from earlier this fall. By mid-month, Mercury’s retrograde may pull you into review mode, asking how you can grow a new source of abundance into a long-term revenue stream for the year ahead.
Heads Up: Comfort Versus Complacency
Security can easily turn into stagnation if you cling to what’s familiar. Use the Scorpio New Moon to release outdated routines that dull your creative spark.
Mantra: Golden Hour
– Kacey Musgraves
Gemini/Gemini Rising (May 21 to June 20)
Card: Two of Swords
Indecision is often Gemini’s Achilles’ heel. When Mercury, your ruling planet, retrogrades in your opposite sign of Sagittarius, communication may become unclear, making decisions even more difficult. Instead of forcing conclusions, step back and let your intuition catch up to your logic.
Highlight: Silence Speaks
When conversations stall, it’s not a sign to push harder. The Taurus Full Moon highlights what’s truly stable in your work, while the Scorpio New Moon later in the month reveals hidden motives or truths. By the time Mercury turns direct on November 29, the right path forward becomes clear without overthinking.
Heads Up: Pause Before You Press Send
Emails and texts sent hastily might backfire. Take your time and review important discussions at month’s end for the best results.
Mantra: Say it Right
– Nelly Furtado
Cancer/Cancer Rising (June 21 to July 22)
Card: Eight of Pentacles
This month celebrates the effort you’ve put into developing certain skills and projects, even if progress has seemed slow. Your patience pays off as the recognition you’ve been waiting for arrives after the Taurus Full Moon highlights your work ethic.
Highlight: Refinement Yields Results
Mercury’s retrograde encourages you to revisit the details of ongoing projects. Small tweaks can lead to major rewards after November 29. The Scorpio New Moon (November 19) fuels your creative drive, making this an ideal week to refine passion projects or rebrand efforts.
Heads Up: Protect Your Energy
Cancers are caretakers by nature, but it’s important to be mindful not to overextend emotionally when helping others. Maintain enough bandwidth for your own pursuits so burnout doesn’t slow down your progress.
Mantra: Workin’ On Empty, is That the Kinda Way to Face the Burning Heat?
– Hozier
Leo/Leo Rising (July 23 to August 22)
Card: The Sun
The Leo-ruled Sun Card boosts your confidence and energy in November after some emotionally intense months. The Taurus Full Moon on the 5 elevates your professional reputation, and you’ll finally receive the recognition you deserve for your behind-the-scenes contributions this fall.
Highlight: Shine Responsibly
This month’s spotlight shines generously on you, but it also asks for self-awareness. While Mercury’s retrograde on the ninth may temporarily cloud communication, your genuine charisma continues to attract new opportunities. As the Sun enters Sagittarius on November 21, renewed optimism reminds you that leadership rooted in joy is what inspires others most.
Heads Up: Don’t Overdo It
While the increased attention on your work feels positive this month, be mindful of your bandwidth and avoid overextending yourself. Staying true to your genuine sense of fulfillment in what you do is your most magnetic quality.
Mantra: Electric Feel
– MGMT
Virgo/Virgo Rising (August 23 to September 22)
Card: Judgement
Judgement encourages you to integrate everything you’ve learned this year. Patterns are surfacing for review, especially around communication and purpose. Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius (November 9–29) might blur external communication but can amplify your intuition.
Highlight: Revisions Bring Redemption
Expect “aha moments” around the New Moon in Scorpio on November 19 about projects or relationships that deserve a second chance. Rework but don’t reinvent—there’s brilliance in your existing foundation waiting to be refined.
Heads Up: Don’t Rush the Reveal
Despite excitement about new initiatives and projects for next year, it’s best to hold off on major announcements until Mercury goes direct on November 29. Your clarity then will ensure your message lands exactly as intended.
Mantra: Up to the Platform of Surrender
– The Killers
Libra/Libra Rising (September 23 to October 22)
Card: Six of Pentacles
The Full Moon in Taurus helps restore financial balance and opens new doors that will offer meaningful support, whether through funding, partnerships, or collaboration. Six of Pentacles reminds you that receiving is just as important as giving.
Highlight: Collaborative Abundance
The first half of the month is a good time to revisit mutually beneficial arrangements. Mercury’s retrograde (November 9–29) might reopen discussions with past partners or clients, and the Scorpio New Moon on November 19 provides an opportunity to build collaborations based on shared values rather than just what looks good on paper.
Heads Up: Discernment is Key
Not all “opportunities” that come up in November will benefit everyone involved. Although many new doors open this month, it’s better to wait until the end of the month before signing any new agreements or contracts.
Mantra: Everybody Wins
– Oak Ridge Boys
Scorpio/Scorpio Rising (October 23 to November 21)
Card: Death/Rebirth
Happy Birthday, Scorpio. November is the perfect time to acknowledge your growth since last year. The Death card and the Scorpio New Moon on November 19 work together to clear space for a powerful rebirth. Old surface ambitions will likely start to fade as your deeper passions take the lead.
Highlight: Rising Up
This month rewards courageous release. By letting go of what no longer fits, from outdated goals to stale partnerships, you create the ideal conditions for significant growth. The final week of November brings clarity about what’s next as Mercury turns direct in your sign.
Heads Up: Transition Takes Time
Though shedding old skins may feel uncomfortable, resist the urge to rush into replacements. Trust that what’s dissolving is creating space for new people, opportunities, and initiatives to arrive at the right time.
Mantra: Everything Has Changed
– Taylor Swift
Sagittarius/Sagittarius Rising (November 22 to December 23)
Card: Two of Cups
Partnerships are key this month, both professionally and personally. The Taurus Full Moon on the fifth brings cooperation and support from unexpected allies. Two of Cups emphasizes that shared values strengthen existing alliances, while understanding our authentic priorities attracts new collaborators as well.
Highlight: Alliances That Elevate
Mercury’s retrograde is a good time to revisit the dynamics of teamwork and mutual respect. The New Moon in Scorpio on November 19 reveals where vulnerability can deepen trust. Expect business relationship wins by the final week of the month when Mercury stations direct.
Heads Up: Release Control to Gain Connection
Sagittarians are known for being very independent. However, November reminds you that not all successes are self-made. Allowing others to support you will not only be more rewarding but also help you reach your goals faster (which Sagittarians love).
Mantra: We Can Build This Dream Together
– Starship
Capricorn/Capricorn Rising (December 22 to January 19)
Card: The Hermit
Capricorns are known for their strong dedication to work, but the Hermit card is encouraging you to slow down and listen to your inner compass. With Mercury retrograding most of the month (November 9–29), introspection outweighs external action.
Highlight: Clarity in the Quiet
The New Moon in Scorpio on November 19 helps you release outdated projects and stagnant systems, while the Sun entering Sagittarius on November 21 reignites your optimism for new ventures. You’ll go through this month feeling recharged and ready to share your new vision as November ends.
Heads Up: Release Pressure on Timing
What may seem like a delay this month is actually giving you the time to refine your vision so you can generate even more abundance and success in the new year. Trust the process—the wisdom you gain now will set you up for major wins in 2026.
Mantra: Shine it When I’m Alone
– Ellie Goulding
Aquarius/Aquarius Rising (January 20 to February 18)
Card: The Hanged Man
The Hanged reminds us that surrendering to the unknown can bring new perspectives. You’ve likely been craving change since early fall. Know that it’s coming, but only if you pause and reassess what you truly want. Breakthroughs happen through stillness.
Highlight: Innovation in Inversion
Mercury’s retrograde in the first half of the month (starting November 9) helps you detach from any half-baked and stalled collaboration. By the New Moon in Scorpio on November 19, support arrives from unexpected sources, helping you creatively resolve long-standing issues. Once Mercury goes direct on November 29, your ideas quickly gain momentum.
Heads Up: Honor the Pause
Trying to mani-force your way forward with old and incomplete tactics will only cause friction. Embracing the discomfort of surrendering can lead to benefits, including support from teammates and recognition from higher-ups, in the weeks and months that follow.
Mantra: When the Rain Washes You Clean, You’ll Know
– Fleetwood Mac
Pisces/Pisces Rising (February 19 to March 20)
Card: Seven of Cups
After an intense fall, the Seven of Cups brings a surge of inspiration and new opportunities. Remember, not every idea needs to be acted on immediately. Discernment is key this month.
Highlight: Dreams Take Shape
The Taurus Full Moon on November 5 grounds big-picture ideas into actionable next steps. When the New Moon in Scorpio arrives on November 19, a hidden opportunity reemerges, offering a chance to pursue an exciting project you previously assumed wouldn’t progress. Inspiration flows again as Mercury goes direct on November 29.
Heads Up: Don’t Skip the Editing Stage
Having too many options can blur focus. Focus your imagination by setting boundaries and crossing off options that aren’t suitable right now to avoid overwhelm.
Mantra: Let Your Heart Be Your Guide
– Tom Petty
