Cosmic Insights – November 17, 2025 November 17, 2025

By Veronica G. Hartman 

The celestial week of November 17, 2025, begins with the sun rising in uncompromising Scorpio,  illuminating an opportunity to settle in with a powerful need to feel at home in your own skin, in an inner and outer sense.

While Mars, the daily supervisor of Scorpio,  is moving through adventuresome Sagittarius, as it aims motivational arrows of passionate desires to take advantage of big opportunities that are too good to resist. Antares, a fixed star in the constellation of Scorpio, joins Mars in Sag, fueled by inspiration to experience great success, worldly or otherwise, by going through a cleansing life or metaphorical death process.

Whereas Pluto, the transformational powerhouse ruler of Scorpio,  is positioned in eclectic Aquarius, with unique and innovative ideas that clear the air after the extreme buildup of energy demonstrated by Mars and Antares in Sagittarius.

 Meanwhile, the Moon is traveling through compromising Libra to transcend emotional difficulties by forming new lines of communication with friends and like-minded others regarding hopes, wishes, and dreams.  

Later in the afternoon, the Moon courageously ventures into the deep emotional waters of Scorpio with the skill of an undercover detective to unearth hidden secrets that may create havoc in relationships when revealed.

As Mars, the daily CEO of Scorpio, and Antares are paired up in Cowboy Sagittarius, treading lightly on the boundaries of others will help deter the overwhelming potential consequences of unbounded and reckless actions. The Moon in Scorpio’s first planetary encounter is with Pluto in Aquarius,  when the power of intense emotions collides with the power of emotional detachment relative to a difference of perspective, if daily routines are supporting the transformation of career goals.

On the evening of November 18th, Mercury will retrograde back into Scorpio to review ground that’s already been covered on October 30th and will reveal what information was left out or misunderstood for correction.

Shortly after midnight on November 20th, the Sun and Moon meet in powerful Scorpio for a new moon cycle of transformation through emotional communication. Mercury retrograde in Scorpio tags along with the union to provide valuable information to handle the monkey wrench that Uranus retrograde in Taurus throws down as a financial maneuver to block the progress of getting a kite of new intentions off the ground.

No worries, the Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Venus in Scorpio have the momentum and power to override the chaotic antics of Uranus retrograde in Taurus, with the emotional support of Jupiter retrograde in Cancer, as well as Neptune and Saturn retrograde in Pisces, about the manifestation of the vision of the cycle.

In the early hours of November 20th, Mercury retrograde in Scorpio unites with the Sun in Scorpio, marking a turning point in the Mercury retrograde cycle, as informative details suggest a shift in momentum when Mercury goes direct in motion on November 29. The unique signature of this union is that it is emotionally supported by Jupiter retrograde in Cancer, and approved by Saturn and Neptune in Pisces for the potential of its global vision.

Shortly after, the Moon bounces into enthusiastic Sagittarius with an emotional desire to explore new horizons and opportunities. Even though Jupiter, the king of Sagittarius, is retrograding in Cancer, it supports the Moon’s desires with no objections.  Thus, the Moon’s first agenda is to engage with Pluto in Aquarius, to join the exploration of new adventures with innovative ideas related to communication and technology. 

The morning of November 21 starts off with the Sun in Scorpio opposing Uranus retrograde in Taurus before breakfast, as an emotional tug-of-war begins over controlling issues in relationships. The Sun in Scorpio is determined to not give an inch of personal power to the demands of Uranus retrograde in Taurus regarding financial resources,  relationships, or unfounded suspicions about friendships.

Later in the early evening hours, the Sun enters playful Sagittarius with a joyful sigh of relief to join Mars and the Moon for opportunities of enjoyment to release the intensity of the past few weeks with comedic entertainment before holiday preparations begin.
