Show Notes
A detailed look at the astrology forecast for November 2026, with astrologer Chris Brennan.
The first half of the month is dominated by the overlapping retrogrades of Venus and Mercury in Libra and Scorpio, bringing relationship realignments, buried secrets, and communication breakdowns to a head before both planets finally station direct on November 13.
Tensions are heightened mid-month by a rare triple conjunction of Mars, Jupiter, and the South Node in Leo, which highlights high-stakes dynamics around themes of war and peace.
Finally, by the end of the month Mars moves into Virgo, where it will station retrograde in January, and begins forming a particularly volatile square with Uranus in Gemini.
