​November 2025 Energy Report, Jennifer Hoffman, 4 October 2025

​We are nearing the end of 2025, a year we will remember for many things. Maybe it’s the year of realization, reclamation, re-evaluation, and restoration of your power, dignity, and self-respect. From what I hear from my readers and clients, this has been a year of painful breakups, betrayals, and endings; I have experienced this too. But they are often long overdue and will be a blessing as you forge ahead on your ascension path.

November has a double 11 signature that means spiritual initiation and new energetic pathways. so be ready for them. If you have been looking for answers, make sure you are asking the right questions. And with a Mercury retrograde plus Neptune returning to Pisces for the final pass, completing the journey it began in 2011, a lot of energy is moving. If you’re like me, it means you will be organizing, cooking, cleaning, and revisiting some choices. It’s going to be a powerful month so get ready to shine, show up for yourself, and soar.

This year has been a struggle for me and I know for many of you. For me it was the first year in 7 years that I have not been in  constant, horrible pain. That finally ended in December 2024 but getting back to a normal daily routine has been a struggle. I was dealing with the pain for so long that my normal routine had to be abandoned for what I could do. So this year has been a catchup and I am finally getting to the point where I can feel productive and motivated again.

And how fitting that it happens in this November with its double 11 vibration. It’s the 11th month and 2025 + 11 = 11. This means more emphasis on new beginnings, new pathways, and exploring new potentials. It doesn’t mean having to do your life over as we never start from zero. It means learning to let go of what you can no longer serve and start serving your own needs.

What do you want? What would bring joy to your life? What does a joyful, stress-free and challenge free life look like? The karma cycles that have kept us in energetic bondage for lifetimes are unraveling as we see in the end of relationships that are now well and truly over, rather than in the way you have been trying to get them to go.

 That especially includes the relatives you call ‘family’ and have been trying to create your definition of family with.  How many of you now realize that you can no longer get these people to become the family you want to have?  Once you release your expectations you can see if a new type of relationship can be created – but don’t hold your breath. And remember that your mother, father, siblings, and close relatives are your first line of karma partners.

Keep that in mind if you see an implosion happening with them, when you learn how they really feel about you, or you realize that you can no longer be part of their toxic cycles. It is not your fault and it is not about you – this is the end of karma cycles and while you thought the healing process was to bring them to the light, it was always about you learning to let them sit in the darkness they choose instead.

November 1 is All Saint’s  Day where the church recognizes the saints who have passed away and November 2 is All Soul’s Day, where people pray for and remember their departed loved ones. It is a fitting way to start this month and its very spiritual themes. That energy is enhanced by the presence of Neptune  in Pisces, in the final phase of the journey it began in 2011. It will not be in Pisces again until the year 2194.

Saturn is also in Pisces, retrograde until November 28, and Pluto just finished its first retro in Aquarius. But here’s where things get interesting – for most of November 6 planets are in water signs, Uranus retrogrades back to Taurus where it started its journey in May 2018, and Mercury goes retro on November 10 and direct on November 30, in Scorpio.

All of those water signs means release – don’t confuse that with healing. You have to wash a wound before it can start healing (or it gets infected). And that is what November has in store for us. The opportunities are there, we just have to use them. Sometimes those choices are made for us – we realize after a big blowup or some kind of final faceoff that we have to protect our peace of mind and heart, that we have to safeguard our happiness and joy, and we do that by letting go of commitments to those who do not appreciate or value our efforts.

Remember November is a time of spiritual initiation and that does not mean everyone gets a spiritual upgrade. It means that we have to use the tools and resources that are available to us – whether that means a loving situation or one that is truly difficult – to make our decisions.

A full moon on November 5 at 13 Taurus, with the Sun at 13 Scorpio, adds a tiny spot of earth energy in the midst of all of the water energy of November. That may be a grounding point as we get ready for the Mercury retro and the rest of the energy that is moving this month. Did I mention Mars in Sagittarius? The only fire element represented for most of the month.

I think we’re going to see some big relationship issues in November because Venus is in Scorpio, a sign it is  not very compatible with and where it can be jealous, vengeful, and quite selfish. But that’s a good thing. For far too long we have been the peacekeepers, the servants, and the Martyred Healers in our relationships, at a significant cost to our own joy, and peace of mind and heart. But those days are over. It is our turn to be the receivers and you may have no problem getting rid of difficult, toxic people and relationships this month. Just remember that if you feel compelled to do that it is because something far better and more fulfilling is on the way. And you are ready for it.

The new moon on November 20 is at 28 Scorpio and it is a powerhouse, with aspects to nearly every planet in the chart, including Pluto. That week may be quite eventful so keep your eye on it.

The energy theme for November is focused on the Rs of Ascension – but not retrograde (in spite of Mercury’s retrograde),  unless it is reviewing your choices from the past to make different choices now. In fact, Mercury’s retro in Scorpio reinforces these themes because Scorpio represents the death of the old and the birth of the new.

These Rs are renovation, reclamation, restoration, revitalization, and  re-evaluation. The one that starts the process is reclamation – a desire to reclaim your power starts the dominos falling as you realize that you have been giving your power away and are living a life that is sad, unfulfilling, and powerless.

Then you decide to renovate your life and fix things up. And if you have ever renovated a house, you know that once you start that process you find all kinds of things that have been hidden under the floor boards and behind the walls.

See this as a journey of discovery and potential, not a reminder of what you have allowed or been tolerating for too long. And then take action. This is not the time to get stuck in regret, victim consciousness, blame, judgment, or criticism. This is a pull yourself up moment, it is a moment to shine, find your wings, and soar.

One thing to remember as you  navigate this month, and it’s something I say all the time. You have no control over what people think, say, or do. And you do yourself and them no favors when you try to see their in their best and highest light and then hold that expectation of performance until they decide to join you there. It is a recipe for disappointment, disillusionment, and disempowerment. In the words of Maya Angelou, ‘When people show you who they really are, why would you ever doubt them.”

Discernment is a key quality for November. Seeing things as they are, seeing people as they choose to be, and not thinking that these behaviors are an accident; they are not. Empowering yourself means that you reclaim your power, your dignity, your voice, and your light and you use them to ascend your life path. No one has power over you – unless you give them that power. Meanwhile, be clear about your own intentions and then take actions that are aligned with them.

November also sees the outer planets – Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto– retracing their steps in the signs they have occupied during the past 15 years. This has been a difficult time, full of betrayals, corruption, and acts against humanity.

We have withstood the onslaught against our energy, liberties, and very being and we are still here, still standing, and still shining.

The battles have been won but the war is ongoing. Stand strong in the face of these immense dark energies because no darkness can overtake the light. You cannot put darkness in a room that is full of light. The only way darkness overtakes light is if the light is turned off – make sure your light stays on, shining brightly, faithfully lighting your ascension path.

This is a big month so make sure you take full advantage of these energies and shine on!

Have a wonderful month.
