What’s Shifting in the Stars This Week?
24 November, 2025
This week brings one of the biggest energetic shifts of the season. The week opens with Mercury retrograde in Libra alongside Venus, softening thought processes and bringing emotional intelligence to communication. By 26 November, Venus moves to Scorpio, joining the Sun and Mars. This intensifies emotion, desire and depth. Mars, strong in its own sign, gives Scorpio power and precision.
The major turning point arrives on 28 November, when Saturn goes direct in Purva Bhadrapada. After months of karmic revision, emotional heaviness and slow progress, a new sense of forward movement begins. Foundations strengthen. Decisions become clearer. The path ahead starts to take shape.
On 29 November, Mercury goes direct in Libra, easing miscommunication and helping restore equilibrium.
Meanwhile, Jupiter remains exalted in Cancer in Punarvasu, still retrograde and bringing inward growth. Rahu remains in Aquarius, newly entered Shatabhisha, its own nakshatra, amplifying collective themes of truth seeking, reinvention and emotional detachment. Ketu stays alone in Leo, keeping self expression quiet and introspective.
This is a week of release, forward motion, and quiet recalibration.
