Mercury turns retrograde this month and will stay retrograde from November 9th to the 29th. You know the drill by now. Double-check all appointments and be sure to backup all your work. Retrograde energy slows things down so you may have to be extremely patient for the retrograde period. Promotions get put on hold and planned trips get delayed. But retrograde energy is great for going back to old tasks that you have put off and finish them up now.

We have not only Mercury retrograde but Saturn is also retrograde as well as Uranus and Neptune. That is a LOT of planets going backward instead of forward. Not to mention Jupiter will turn retrograde on the 11th. So things in general may slow down or you may feel a bit stuck. Things will turn around eventually but in the meantime you will have to be patient and find ways to use this energy productively.

Venus begins the month in Libra but is only there for the first week. On November 7th it changes signs and moves into Scorpio, where it will stay the rest of the month. This is a very passionate energy, so a nice time for you and your spouse or partner to make some time for each other. Maybe a short trip out of town, to enjoy a weekend together.

With both the Sun and Mars sitting in your fourth house, there is a focus on home and family. Maybe you have friends or relatives coming for a visit. You want your home to be your sanctuary.
