What’s Shifting in the Stars This Week?
3 November, 2025
This week opens with a potent Full Moon in Aries on 5 November, placed in Bharani Nakshatra, the star of inner transformation and fierce rebirth. Bharani is ruled by Yama, the deity of discipline and truth. This is a lunar peak that asks for bold decisions, not to push forward blindly, but to honour what’s ready to be released and recharged.
Mars and Mercury are together in Scorpio, amplifying intensity and insight. Mars, in its own sign, acts with strength and precision. Mercury, however, is about to turn retrograde on 9 November, marking the start of a three-week period for deep internal review. Words, travel and tech all slow down. Think depth, not speed.
Meanwhile, the Sun and Venus are both in Libra. The Sun is still in its sign of debilitation, but Venus thrives in her own sign, helping restore harmony, beauty and balance to emotional or creative tensions.
Jupiter stays exalted in Cancer in Punarvasu Nakshatra, offering moral clarity and quiet support. Saturn remains retrograde in Purva Bhadrapada, continuing deep karmic unraveling. Rahu in Aquarius inspires visionary thinking, and Ketu alone in Leo holds space for ego detachment.
This is a week of powerful emotional movement, but the real strength lies in slowing down to observe what is surfacing beneath.
