November 2026 – The Reckoning – The Showdown

November opens with the Moon in Leo angling the planets and providing ups and downs and surprises. The United States will not be alone in the loud voices battling for our attention; be it gossip or war mongering.

We feel the first planets playing together during these first days. Venus, retrograde in Scorpio, is sextile Jupiter in Leo while at the same time angling the north and south nodes of the Moon. This is cause for us to revisit warm memories. Some people, especially the politicians of the world, will want to take us down memory lane for better or worse. Most likely, better for them and worse for us. People we once cared for will do the same. This is a time when we can fall into unhealthy patterns and choices. This is also a time to discern the best choices. These choices will present themselves so that we can move forward or backwards. Choose the one which is the best bet for fulfilling your heart’s desire.

This pattern repeats itself at the end of November. Make sure you get it right the first time around. This can also be people adding uncertainty to election results and decisions in the United States and abroad. Know your truth and what is right for you and your well-being. That person who said they would show up at the dance years ago and did not will do the same again. Be wary of promises made by people who have never kept those promises in the past.

At the same time, Mercury retrograde and holding hands with the Sun in Scorpio, exposes truths which make our choices easier. Remember the people who try to lull you into a false sense of security with their lies and by pulling your heart strings. Recognize the truth and walk away from the merry-go-round that you once rode nonstop. It’s time to change the ride.

The New Moon November 9 at 1:02 am CST in Scorpio at 16°

Venus in Libra is sextile Mars and Jupiter and the South node in Leo. Venus is trine the north node.

Scorpio is the sign that brings cause for looking deep within to understand profound changes so that we create deeper intimacy and honesty with our partners. Mars and Jupiter give us courage to act, but we must avoid impulsive decisions, especially when past relationships tempt us to reconsider their validity. They are not valid in 99.99% of the cases, so use caution if you feel yourself falling for the same pitch. This new Moon is a time for moving beyond our past and choosing our knowingness over our wishful thinking. Use the power of this new Moon to evolve and mature.

Venus and Mercury Direct November 13

Venus turned retrograde in Scorpio October 3 and backed into Libra October 25. Mercury turned retrograde in Scorpio October 24. They both turn direct within 9 hours of each other. It will be as if a veil is lifted and we will have clarification. This is why all the people who have wanted to interview for or begin a job since early October have been wise to sit still. Hidden facts and agendas come to light, and you may decide that moving in a particular direction is not in your best interest. All those exes who have come back will begin to return to being exes.

There is still another layer to the month.

Mars, Jupiter, and the South Node

Jupiter crossed the south node of the Moon November 8/9. Mars approaches the south node crossing it and Jupiter November 15. At the same time these three points are trine wounded healer Chiron and Eris, the goddess of strife and discord. The Sun passes halfway between the nodes squaring the Jupiter and Mars November 17-19.

This is a rare configuration that last occurred in Leo at these degrees in 1635. In 1635 Japan took measures to limit foreign influence and France declared war on Spain.

See the chart above.

What does this mean?

The chart you see is a very tense time in the world, especially in the United States. The people will demand justice amid intense words and actions. There will be struggles over who is going to lead and those in power both politically and in our personal lives will have their authority challenged. Leaders across the world will fight one another.

France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, India and Albania are already challenging their governments. More countries will likely follow.

Remember, Pluto is power to the people, and the people are speaking up and standing up for their lives and dignity. Social movements will become more pronounced. With the wounded healer Chiron in the mix; windows of opportunity open to turn the citizens’ grievances into reform movements. This is a time of reckoning.

We receive another round of this scenario when Mercury moves through the same square in early December. The fires of change are lighting, but not without a struggle.

In the coming months we will experience more bad weather, one or more leaders will be very sick and possibly die. Someone is going to jail. The world economy continues to falter as the reckoning of past government and personal decisions come due.

The Full Moon November 24 at 8:54 am CST in Gemini at 2 degrees

This full Moon occurs next to Uranus. The Moon and Uranus are 120° from Pluto in Aquarius and sixty degrees away from Neptune. The Sun, having just moved into Sagittarius, is 120° from Neptune and 60° from Pluto. It’s a basket. Over in Leo at 29° Mars is approaching a square to the Sun, Moon, and Uranus.

See the chart above.

What can we expect from this Full Moon?

There will be disruptive news, events, and breakthroughs. There will be more demands for change from those who are being restricted by the status quo. There will be more challenges to established power structures and to new technology and using it to control the outcome of elections and the power that the citizens hold. This Full Moon exposes even more corruption that has been hidden in order to benefit those who want the power. Mars makes this Full Moon volatile and behavior will be just that.

Mars at 29° Leo is the degree and sign of the US President’s rising sign. This leader is sure to be in the news making claims and taking action. Voices from the people will be loud. Impulsive actions are sure to be initiated. There will be more of us seeking justice. Many of us will find sudden solutions to our challenge. With Neptune added into the mix, we will be blessed with the inspiration and initiative to envision a better future.

Individually, we will be compelled to learn what is true. Check the validity of your sources so that you are well informed. Do not commit yourself to irrevocable decisions that are based on an emotional reaction. This Full Moon is a showdown across the planet.

Mars moves into Virgo

Mars moves into Virgo November 25 and turns retrograde on January 10, 2027. While Mars is direct in Virgo get yourself organized. Fix your broken stuff, clear the clutter and finish projects. Virgo, Capricorn, and Taurus are busy and active in a good way while the rest of us really need to manage Mars’ energy wisely so that we do not have accidents, get sick, or act against our best interest.

The November aspects end with the Sun in Sagittarius trine Saturn in Aries November 29-30. This is a fast but stabilizing event that helps us to solidify plans. It will bring sense and balance to all the sudden disruptions experienced during the storm of November and that includes more than the weather. This end of the month is a time of returning to our core values that include a safe home, education, food on our table, and health care. Hopefully, that will hold in the months ahead. 

Making Sense of It All

Picture this:
The Wizard of Oz.

Four characters are seeking help from the wonderful Wizard of Oz. First the Cowardly Lion. He wanted courage to be himself but was ashamed when he acted ferocious.

Then there is the Scarecrow. He wants a brain so that he can think. He needs education.

The Tin Man wants a heart. Throughout the movie he laments, “If I only had a heart.” He is reminded by the wizard that he has been kind all along and learns that a heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others.

Dorothy wants to go home.

They go to see the wizard but are accosted by the Wicked Witch of the West who wants her sister’s ruby slippers. She wants more power.

When they arrive they are greeted by a vision of a demanding and scary wizard. He tells them to get the broom that belongs to the wicked witch; her tool for travel and part of her power. They accidentally kill the witch and take her broom.

They go back to the wizard, but he is not happy to see them. He is flustered and frightens them with his technology. Toto, Dorothy’s dog, exposes the real identity of the wizard behind a curtain. Dorothy shames him and he admits he is a state fair balloonist who had a mishap and landed in Oz. Because he could fly, the people in the land of Oz called him a wizard and he accepted the role. He solidified his power and ruled Oz for years until Dorothy arrived in a tornado.

Four characters go on a quest. One for courage and self-worth. Another for education. Another for compassion and love. And another needs to get home. They get the power they think they need to make their wishes come true only to learn that the wizard uses technology to keep power over the masses. He is not all powerful in and of himself. The leader is doing what is good for himself.

Ultimately, they all realize they have what they wanted all along — and the wizard goes away.

The people of the world want education for all, home, dignity, and compassion. They have chosen leaders for centuries to use their power to help society. Instead, the leaders use power and technology to manipulate and fool the people.

Think about it.

Worldwide only a very small percentage of people have control of the world’s money, and they use that to control the world’s destiny. They, through their agents, decide who gets education, places to live, the right to be themselves, and the respect that everyone deserves.

Pluto in Aquarius is power to the people. The messy part is now and the reckoning has begun.
