November arrives enveloped in mystery and intensity—it is Scorpio season, after all. This is the time of year when we shed our snake skin, dive into emotional depths, and remember what transformation is all about. Still, amid the undeniable darkness of it all is a super moon in Taurus, reaching its peak on November 5. Sitting at exactly 13 degrees of this Earth sign (opposite the sun in Scorpio), this lunation brings light to everything we own, cherish, and value, not just in a material sense but emotionally and spiritually.
What do you truly desire, and are there distractions pulling you away from it? Grounded, sensual, and enduring, Luna invites us to slow down, simplify things, and return to what’s real. As the Taurus moon helps us become anchored, the Scorpio sun draws our attention to what lies beneath the surface: deeper motivations, hidden attachments, and emotional entanglements. This Fixed season and zodiac sign have everything to do with merging with others, sharing energy and resources, and seeing where our power lies in the process.
Under this celestial energy, you could realize something you’ve been holding onto, be it a relationship, commitment, or financial tie that no longer reflects your values and/or your sense of self-worth. The clarity that comes can be liberating. There’s a chance to simplify, and to release what drains you, so you can refocus your energy where it truly matters. Venus, Taurus’ celestial ruler, offers a gentle blessing as it wraps up in Libra, let alone via the same degree she occupied during the new moon in Libra in October. This, in turn, hints at a manifestation—perhaps a relationship shift, a financial opportunity, or a heartfelt conversation that can unfold naturally. It’s a reminder that when we open ourselves to connection, beauty often finds its way in, too.
Also, with both luminaries (sun and moon) aligning harmoniously with the Nodes of Destiny — the North Node in Pisces and South Node in Virgo — karmic events unfold with less resistance as we are encouraged to trust the flow and make peace with what we’re ready to release. There’s also a Grand Water Trine rippling through the sky — starring Neptune and Saturn retrograde in Pisces, working together with Jupiter in Cancer — blending wisdom, healing, and intuition. These water-y currents are here to wash away old patterns and help us emotionally integrate what we’ve outgrown.
Yet, beneath the flow and serenity, shocking movement stirs as Mars and Mercury in Sagittarius face off with Uranus retrograde in Gemini, shaking up the air with surprising news, perspective shifts, or a sudden need for change. What’s revealed now could feel unexpected, but it’s meant to set you free. Pluto, with Pluto harmonizing with these two energies, transformation is equally inevitable and empowering. All in all, this lunation is a chance to reclaim our peace. To choose comfort over chaos, alignment over obligation and to root ourselves in what is nourishing and real.

Aries
Something real is shifting in your world of work, money, and self-worth, Aries. You could receive a raise, or have an “aha” moment about how much you’ve been undervaluing your time. Who knows, you may finally decide to cut ties with a draining situation that’s no longer worth your energy. This lunation is helping you ground into your worth and trust that the stability you seek starts from within. Full moon reflection: What are you ready to stop settling for, and how can you honor the value of your energy every single day?
Taurus
The spotlight’s on you, Taurus, and it’s shining brighter than usual. A personal win, big decision, or confidence boost reminds you how far you’ve come since spring. Someone could also mirror back the growth you’ve been too humble to see, or maybe you’re finally agreeing to something that feels authentically true to you. Full moon reflection: Where are you being called to step fully into your power and stop apologizing for who you've become?
Gemini
Peace and quiet hits different under this full moon, Gemini. You might be craving time away from the noise. By all means, log off, light a candle, and check in with what your body’s been trying to tell you. Luna brings emotional closure, deep rest, or even a sign from the universe to surrender something you’ve been carrying alone. Full moon reflection question: What part of you needs softness and healing instead of another mental distraction?
Cancer
The people who show up for you now reveal who your true friends are, Cancer. A co-worker’s support, an unexpected collaboration, or a long-lost dream could reawaken your hope for what’s possible in the near future. You’re remembering that community is also equivalent to stability and wealth. Full moon reflection: Who makes you feel seen, and how can you nurture those connections that feel reciprocal and real?
Leo
All eyes could be on you, Leo. (And you’re not complaining!) Still, this full moon highlights your career, visibility, and what you’re known for, which could lead you to redefine success on your own terms. Maybe you’re stepping into a leadership role or making a bold career move. This could also be an epiphany, helping you realize that peace matters more than prestige. Full moon reflection: What version of success actually feels good in your body, and not just impressive to others?
Virgo
You’re craving adventure lately, Virgo. This lunation evokes a deep hunger for meaning, travel, and truth. You could be booking a spontaneous trip or having a conversation that changes your worldview. Remember, the bigger picture comes into focus when you let go of the need to control every detail. Full moon reflection question: What if you allowed faith to lead the way instead of fearing the unknown?

Libra
It’s time to be brutally honest with yourself, especially when it comes to your energetic exchanges, Libra. Whether it’s a business deal, a shared space or an emotional bond, you’re seeing where things have been off balance. A financial breakthrough or emotional revelation could also help you reclaim your power and your boundaries. Full moon reflection: Where are you ready to transform fear into trust, or transmute codependence into clarity?
Scorpio
You’re seeing your reflection through someone else’s eyes, Scorpio. (Not gonna lie, this is powerful.) Luna highlights your relationships — whether romantic, platonic, or professional — shedding light on what commitment truly means to you. Expect a heart-to-heart conversation, or a realization about what reciprocity looks like when it’s genuinely healthy and mutual. Full moon reflection: What does being fully seen in love mean to you, and are you brave enough to allow it?
Sagittarius
You’re reorganizing your rhythm, Sagittarius. Work, wellness, and routines take center stage under this lunation, showing you what’s been draining your energy and what genuinely sustains you. This could lead you to create new habits, set stronger boundaries at work, or simplify your day-to-day life to find more flow. Full moon reflection: What habits contribute to your future, and which belong to a version of yourself that you’ve outgrown?
Capricorn
Your joy is sacred, Capricorn. This full moon reawakens your creativity, passion, and romantic energy, reminding you that play can also be productive, especially when it also challenges your boss-friendly schedule. You could reconnect with someone who sparks excitement, return to a forgotten hobby, or experience a creative breakthrough. Full moon reflection: When was the last time you created purely for pleasure, and how can you call that energy back in?
Aquarius
Your roots are calling you, Aquarius. Luna is lighting up your home, family, and sense of belonging, and your personal life is front and center. You could be moving, redecorating, or having an emotional exchange with someone from your past. Whatever surfaces now can help you realize what “home” truly means to you and your soul. Full moon reflection: What does safety feel like to you, and are you allowing yourself to create it?
Pisces
Your voice is your magic wand, Pisces. This full moon is highlighting your communication sector, bringing everything from a local connection to a writing project full circle. Your exchanges are especially meaningful at this time as you recognize the power behind your thoughts and words. The conversations you partake in can not only shift your worldview, but someone else’s, too. Full moon reflection: What truth are you ready to speak aloud, and what freedom will you gain from saying it?
