November 2025 Lunations: The Truth About What You're Actually Being Asked to Release

They told you manifestation was about positive vibes only. That healing meant forgiving everyone who hurt you. That spiritual growth required you to transcend your anger and "rise above" your messy human emotions.

November 2025 is here to burn that lie to the ground.

This month delivers two lunations that refuse to let you spiritually bypass your way through transformation. The Full Moon in Taurus on November 5th and the New Moon in Scorpio on November 20th are not here to make you feel comfortable. They're here to make you feel real.

Full Moon in Taurus: What It Reveals About Your True Worth (November 5th)

What no one tells you about security

This is a supermoon, which means the Moon is physically closer to Earth than usual. Translation: everything you've been pretending doesn't bother you is about to feel impossible to ignore.

Taurus energy gets packaged as "self-care and stability," but here's what that actually means. It's about what you're willing to compromise for the illusion of safety. It's about the price you pay to avoid confrontation. It's about how much of yourself you edit out to keep the peace.

The Full Moon in Taurus asks you to get honest about what comfort is actually costing you.

The aspects that expose the truth

This lunation squares Pluto in Aquarius and involves Mars and Mercury in Sagittarius opposing Uranus retrograde in Gemini. In plain language: the systems you've relied on for security are being disrupted, whether you give them permission or not: your job, your relationship, your living situation, your identity, your belief system. Whatever you've been white knuckling to keep stable is getting a cosmic intervention.

Mars in Sagittarius from November 4th adds combustion to your carefully controlled narratives. You might say something you've been holding back. You might quit something you've been tolerating. You might finally admit what you actually want instead of what you think you should wish to. Uranus, retrograde, moving back into Taurus on November 7th, brings a full circle moment. If you were making changes around personal freedom, authenticity, or breaking out of boxes back in July 2025, those themes are resurfacing. What did you start that you're now being called to finish?

What This Moon Reveals About Your Worth

Venus in Scorpio from November 6th turns the volume up on intimacy. Not the Instagram version. The kind where you have to show someone the parts of yourself you've been taught to hide.

This Full Moon is happening while the Sun travels through Scorpio, creating the Taurus/Scorpio polarity that forces the question: what do you actually value versus what you've been conditioned to value?

Your worth is not determined by:

• How much can you tolerate

• How little you need

• How easy you are to deal with

• How much you give while asking for nothing back

• Your ability to remain calm while being disrespected

If the Full Moon in Taurus reveals that you've been trading your dignity for stability, that's not a failure. That's information.

The Challenge Most People Miss

Fixed signs (Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, Aquarius) resist change by design. That stubbornness can be a strength when you're standing in your truth. It becomes self-sabotage when you're clinging to what's already dead.

Under this supermoon, your body knows before your mind does. Pay attention to:

• What makes your shoulders tense

• What makes your stomach drop

• What makes you want to cry, but you "don't know why"

• What you're defending that deep down you don't even believe anymore

The Taurus Full Moon is not asking you to force gratitude for what's hurting you. It's asking you to honor what you need, even if that need disrupts the version of yourself that everyone else has gotten comfortable with.

Mercury Retrograde: The Truth About the Delays

Mercury stations retrograde on November 9th in Sagittarius, then backslides into Scorpio on November 18th before going direct on November 29th.

Here's what this actually means beyond the internet panic about texting your ex:

Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius is reviewing your belief systems. What you thought was the truth might be revealed as programming. What you thought was wisdom might turn out to be dogma. What you defended as knowledge might actually be someone else's opinion that you internalized as fact.

When Mercury moves back into Scorpio on November 18th, the review becomes emotional. Old relationship patterns resurface not to torture you, but to show you what you're still carrying. Past conversations replay not because the universe is cruel, but because you're ready to hear what you couldn't hear the first time.

The delays, the miscommunications, the technical failures? They're not punishments. They're protection. Mercury retrograde stops you from moving forward on autopilot. It forces you to look at what you're actually saying yes to.

New Moon in Scorpio: November 20th at 28°11'

The Most Intense New Moon of 2025

This lunation is conjunct Mercury retrograde and opposite Uranus retrograde. It's supported by trines to Saturn, Neptune, and Jupiter, all in Pisces or Cancer.

Translation: you're being asked to die while you're still alive.

Not literally. But the version of you that needed everyone's approval? The version that made you smaller to make others comfortable? The version that apologized for having needs? That self is being composted.

What No One Tells You About Transformation

Scorpio energy gets romanticized as "phoenix rising from the ashes." What they don't mention is that phoenixes have to burn first. Transformation isn't a glow up. It's a breakdown you choose to learn from, rather than run from.

This New Moon is asking:

• What are you still performing that you stopped believing in?

• What intimacy are you faking because real intimacy feels too vulnerable?

• What power are you giving away because claiming it feels too confrontational?

• What version of "healed" are you performing while your actual wounds are still bleeding?

The conjunction with Mercury retrograde means your mind and your emotions are finally in the same room together. You can't think your way out of this one. You can't affirm yourself past it. You actually have to feel what you've been avoiding.

The Uranus Opposition: When the Truth Hits Sideways

The New Moon opposing Uranus retrograde in Taurus means change will not wait for your permission. Relationships end. Jobs end. Living situations shift. Identities crack open.

This is not happening to you. This is happening for you.

But only if you stop trying to control it. Only if you let the ground shake. Only if you trust that what's leaving was blocking what's trying to arrive.

Jupiter Retrograde: The Permission You Needed

Jupiter went retrograde in Cancer on November 11th. In the sign of emotional safety and family dynamics, Jupiter retrograde asks: what would it look like to give yourself the nurturing you've been begging others to provide? The New Moon in Scorpio, supported by Jupiter retrograde in Cancer, is offering you a deal. Stop performing emotional strength. Stop pretending you don't need support. Stop treating your softness like it's something to overcome.

Your depth is not your damage. Your intensity is not your burden. Your need for real connection is not your weakness.

Saturn Direct: November 27th

Saturn stations direct in Pisces after months of retrograde. The boundaries you've been reconsidering? The structures you've been questioning? The limits you've been testing?

It's time to implement what you learned. Saturn in Pisces has been teaching you the difference between healthy boundaries and emotional walls. Between spiritual practice and spiritual bypassing. Between compassion and codependency. When Saturn goes direct, you get to build something sustainable from the rubble of what you released.

The Sagittarius Shift: November 21st

The Sun enters Sagittarius on November 21st, one day after the Scorpio New Moon. After weeks of emotional excavation, Sagittarius season offers expansion.

But not the toxic positivity kind. The earned kind.

You can only expand into new territory after you've cleared the old. You can only embrace adventure after you've honored your grief. You can only seek truth after you've admitted what you've been lying to yourself about.

Venus enters Sagittarius on November 30th, bringing pleasure back into focus. But notice what feels different about joy after you've done the Scorpio work. Notice how satisfaction tastes when it's built on authenticity instead of performance.

What This Month Is Actually Asking of You

November 2025 is not asking you to be positive. It's asking you to be honest.

It's not asking you to let go gracefully. It's asking you to let go completely.

It's not asking you to heal faster. It's asking you to heal deeper.

The Full Moon in Taurus wants you to stop equating your value with your usefulness. The New Moon in Scorpio wants you to stop equating transformation with self-improvement.

You are not a project. You are not something that needs fixing. You are something that needs to be felt, witnessed, and allowed to be fully human.

This month will be uncomfortable for everyone who's been spiritually bypassing their way through life. It will be revelatory for everyone ready to stop performing healing and start actually healing.

If you've been waiting for permission to:

• Leave what's no longer serving you

• Want what you actually want instead of what you're supposed to want

• Set a boundary without explaining yourself to death

• Feel your feelings without rushing to transcend them

• Admit that you're not okay and stop pretending you are

This is it. November 2025 is your permission slip.

The Full Moon in Taurus on November 5th shows you what stability has been costing you. The New Moon in Scorpio on November 20th allows you to choose transformation over comfort.

The question is: are you brave enough to stop performing and start being real?
