Transcript of Our Predictions for All Ascendants
On November 3rd, Venus will move from the sign of Virgo, where it’s debilitated, to the sign of Libra (which is Venus’ moolatrikona sign). On November 10th, Mercury will turn retrograde in the sign of Scorpio and start heading back toward the sign of Libra. Also, Jupiter will turn retrograde on November 11th and start heading back toward the sign of Gemini. However, Jupiter will still remain in Cancer throughout November. On November 13th, retrograde Mercury will cross over Mars in the same degree.
After that, on November 17th, the Sun will move into the sign of Scorpio, joining Mercury and Mars. Retrograde Mercury will cross over the Sun in the same degree on November 20th, and then on the 24th of the month, Mercury will reenter the sign of Libra from Scorpio, where it will cross over Venus in the same degree on the 25th. Finally, Venus will move into the sign of Scorpio, where it will be conjunct Mars and the Sun, on November 27th.
For better or worse, this vakri budha (retrograde Mercury) is the star, our main character of November 2025. This Mercury may cause a lot of trouble for everyone, being in an enemy sign and crossing directly over Mars and two other planets throughout the month.
When Mercury recently crossed directly over Mars on October 20th, you may have noticed a tendency for people to be extra aggressive around this time, and for there to be a strain on your decision making process. However, Mercury was in a sign exchange (parivartana yoga) with Venus in October, which gave Mercury more strength to overcome this difficult transit. When this happens again in November, Mercury will not be in nearly as good of a condition.
The themes and challenges related to the sign of Scorpio will be prominent in November. These can include personal transformation, sudden gains or losses and hidden information coming to the surface.
Mercury retrograde can make you second guess decisions that were made in the past, and go back to figure out if you need to modify your course of action. When Mercury crosses directly over the Sun while retrograde, usually some information comes to light that you were not aware of, which you are able to use as you move forward. This will be especially true after Mercury turns direct in December. When Mercury crosses over Venus in the same degree, you may receive valuable information from your spouse. Keep your ears open to what your romantic partner is saying on this day.
Aries
For Aries ascendant or Moon sign, this month is a time for you to lay low and be careful what you say. As we start the month of November, your lagna lord Mars is transiting through your 8th house of Scorpio with Mercury. Mercury is not a favorable planet for Aries and will be turning retrograde on November 10th. Sudden communication from friends or enemies can take place this month, which will make an impact on how you decide to move forward. Be careful in conversations with your neighbors as they may turn into arguments.
In fact, as Mercury gets closer to its exact conjunction with Mars, be careful in all of your communication, as it may have a tendency to become sharp or aggressive. Your saving grace this month lies with the exalted Jupiter transiting through your 4th house and aspecting the conjunction of Mars and Mercury. This shows that a flourishing of comfort, happiness and spirituality in your home can protect you from the difficult transits taking place in your 8th house.
Taurus
For Taurus ascendant or Moon sign, this month is a time for you to confront challenges directly. As we start the month of November, your lagna lord Venus will be entering the sign of Libra in your 6th house, joining the Sun. This shows us right away that this month will be about overcoming obstacles. You may need to service debts or deal with enemies, especially in matters pertaining to your home, property or vehicles.
Mercury will be retrograde with his enemy Mars in your 7th house of relationships and business partnerships. This is a time where you need to communicate with your enemies directly, or at least with the people in your life who you may not enjoy communicating with. However, Jupiter’s exaltation in your 3rd house and his aspect on your 7th house will help you overcome these issues with strategic communication.
Gemini
For Gemini ascendant or Moon sign, this month is a time for you to focus on your health and daily routine. As we start the month of November, your lagna lord Mercury will be transiting the 6th house of repetition, debts and diseases. Mercury will be conjunct the 6th lord Mars, who is also an enemy planet for your lagna lord.
This transit can cause problems in your daily routine, or even health problems, if you don’t embrace the opportunity to experience a surge of will power, and use this energy to overcome challenges. This aggressive transit taking place in your 6th house is aspected by Jupiter from your 2nd house of wealth, speech and diet. Jupiter represents control. If you gain control of what you eat and say this month, that alone will act as a powerful remedy for overcoming any difficulties which may come up.
Cancer
For Cancer ascendant or Moon sign, this month is a time for you to serve as a guide for others. As we start the month, Jupiter is currently exalted in your 1st house, bringing a surge of positivity and wisdom into your entire life. The difficult transits of Mercury and Mars will be taking place in your 5th house of children, subordinates, creativity and mantras. Needless to say, there could be difficulties in these areas of your life this month. Chanting Mercury related mantras could be one of the best remedies for overcoming any of these challenges. The simplest example of this would be the nama mantra of Mercury, “Om Budhaya Namaha”.
If you have children, or students, you’re being called to serve as their guide or mentor. This is not a month to sit back or hold your tongue, which you may have a tendency to do right now because of Ketu’s transit though your 2nd house of speech. You may gain wealth this month, especially through matters related to real estate or vehicles, with the Sun and Venus forming a dhana yoga in your 4th house.
Leo
For Leo ascendant or Moon sign, this month is a time for you to find peace in solitude. As we start the month of November, your lagna lord Sun is currently transiting through your 3rd house of communication, talents, siblings and friends. This tells us that your dharma this month is to communicate, especially through writing. This can be through email, text or social media. This communication can be especially important in relation to your career and responsibilities in the world.
There may be fights in your home, especially as retrograde Mercury moves directly over Mars in your 4th house. Jupiter’s protective aspect on this transit is coming from your 12th house of expenses and isolation. This can show that it may be productive for you to find some quiet time for yourself, or make a donation to a worthy cause, which will act as a remedy to help overcome the difficulties taking place in your home life.
Virgo
For Virgo ascendant or Moon sign, this month is a time for your network to be your net worth. As we start the month of November, your lagna lord Mercury is transiting through your 3rd house of communication, talents, friends and siblings.
You may experience sudden gains this month as a result of networking with friends or connections in your professional circle. However, be careful not to speak too harshly or critically as Mercury’s conjunction with Mars can get you into arguments with these same people.
Libra
For Libra ascendant or Moon sign, this month is a time when more money means more problems. As we start the month of November, your lagna lord Venus is currently transiting through your 1st house with your 11th lord, the Sun. This forms a dhana yoga which can indicate that a sudden gain of wealth can take place. However, your 2nd house of accumulated wealth (your bank account), is where the aggressive Mars Mercury conjunction will be taking place. This conjunction also forms a dhana yoga, with Mars being the 2nd lord and Mercury being the 9th lord. However, Mercury is also the 12th lord of expenses. This can mean you’re being called to pay attention to your accounts.
Mercury retrograde here may cause you to spend some time getting control of your accounting, in order to prevent issues from taking place with your wealth. Jupiter in your 10th house may be making you lazy. However, Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, so any activity that you do engage in should be fruitful during this time.
Scorpio
For Scorpio ascendant or Moon sign, this month is a time for you to tolerate confusion about who you are. As we start the month of November, your lagna lord Mars is transiting through your 1st house with Mercury, the 11th lord of gains, but also the 8th lord of personal transformation and an enemy to your lagna lord Mars. When Mercury turns retrograde and moves toward Mars, all of this taking place in your 1st house of self and identity will create a massive amount of confusion in your life.
Jupiter’s aspect from the 9th house shows that the key to overcoming this confusion is not to figure it all out, but to tolerate it as a passing experience. Looking toward wise gurus or mentor figures can help you with this. The Sun and Venus in your 12th house of isolation can show that, for the first half of the month, you might feel like your spouse is extremely busy working. When the Sun moves into your 1st house this will start to improve. You may also feel a surge of confidence, which will help you overcome the confusion caused by Mercury being retrograde in your 1st house.
Sagittarius
For Sagittarius ascendant or Moon sign, this month is a time for you to heal your past traumas. As we start the month of November, your lagna lord Jupiter is currently transiting your 8th house of fear, accidents and transformation. However, Jupiter here is exalted and in an extremely good condition. This tells us that you can find relief from a lot of the pressure you’ve been experiencing in your life by confronting experiences in your past which you have not been willing to face.
Mars and Mercury are currently transiting through your 12th house of expenses, loss and isolation. If you’re in a long distance relationship, it may suddenly end as a result of an argument. So, be careful not to speak too harshly as Mercury gets closer to Mars.
The Sun transiting your 11th house with your 11th lord Venus can show that you’re called to render service to your friends, or any large organization that you belong to, and that service will lead to positive outcomes.
Capricorn
For Capricorn ascendant or Moon sign, this month is a time for you to activate and achieve. As we start the month of November, your lagna lord Saturn is currently transiting your 3rd house creating a burden of responsibility to exert self efforts, especially in matters related to your writing or communication. However, Jupiter recently entered your 7th house, sending his benefic aspect onto this position. This will alleviate the feeling of burden and allow you to move forward without feeling like it requires so much discipline or strain.
Mars and Mercury are currently transiting through your 11th house of gains, awards and fulfillment of desires. You may experience an increase in income, or the ability to fulfill your desires, as a result of direct confrontation with obstacles. The more you solve problems this month, the more you will gain!
The Sun and Venus transiting through your 10th house can show that there might be a positive transformation in your career, which allows you to shine in society. Just be careful not to second guess your own confidence as a result of the Sun’s debilitation in the sign of Libra. With the Sun in Swati nakshatra, the key to your success this month is to remember who you are.
Aquarius
For Aqaurius ascendant or Moon sign, this month is a time for you to focus on food and finances. As we start the month of November, your lagna lord Saturn is currently transiting your 2nd house of accumulated wealth, speech and food. You may be having issues getting satisfaction in these areas of your life. However, Jupiter’s recent transit into Cancer will be sending his benevolent aspect onto this position, which will allow you to experience improvements in your bank balance and better experiences with food. Make sure you take advantage of this month. Jupiter’s aspect will help you manage any issues you may be experiencing with your finances. Once Jupiter moves back into Gemini on December 6th, he will no longer be offering this temporary reprieve.
Mars and Mercury are currently transiting your 10th house of career, authority and status. Be very careful not to get into a fight with your boss this month, especially around the time when Mercury directly conjuncts Mars. Your boss, or any authorities in your life, may be extra difficult to deal with during this transit. So, avoiding arguments with them will be crucial for maintaining the current state of your career, unless you’re looking for a major career transformation.
Pisces
For Pisces ascendant or Moon sign, this month is a time for you to remember that the power of prophesy is given to fools and babs. As we start the month of November, your lagna lord Jupiter has recently entered your 5th house of children, creativity, learning and mantras. You may have extremely uplifting experiences with your children at this time. If you have children, listen closely to what they have to say while Jupiter is transiting your 5th house. They may suddenly say things which are deeply prophetic or wise. If you don’t have children, this can also be a time where you may experience benefits from chanting mantras, especially Guru mantras like “Om Gurave Namaha”.
Jupiter here will also be sending his benevolent aspect onto your ascendant, which will alleviate the burden of responsibility being created by Saturn transiting your 1st house. He’ll also be aspecting your 9th house, where the conjunction of Mars with Mercury will be taking place. Mars and Mercury here can show that you may have a tendency to get into fights with teachers or mentors. There may be conflicts if you are involved in higher learning or long distance travel. However, this combination is also forming a raj yoga. So, even though there will be conflicts and aggression, you will still experience benefits from these areas of your life.
