November’s Invitation: From Shadow to Expansion

Where October asked us to dive inward, November invites us to resurface with wisdom, purpose, and a clearer sense of direction. November opens with Scorpio’s deep, transformative waters before rising into the open horizons of Sagittarius. It’s a month of detoxing the old (physically, emotionally, spiritually) and preparing the ground for new growth. 

The skies this month are rich with movement: Mars ignites fire in Sagittarius, Mercury retrogrades through Scorpio and Sagittarius, and the New Moon (Nov 20) brings a potent moment for emotional release and energetic renewal. As the Sun shifts into Sagittarius on Nov 21, we move from the mystery of the depths to the freedom of expansion.

Scorpio-to-Sagittarius Transition: Health Themes This Month

• Scorpio Season (Until Nov 21): Scorpio governs the reproductive system, hormonal balance, elimination, and immune strength. This phase supports all forms of regeneration from physical cleansing to emotional catharsis. Focus on hydration, rest, and supporting detox pathways through the liver and lymph. It’s a time to release what’s stagnant (both physically or emotionally) and trust the body’s capacity to renew.

• Sagittarius Season (From Nov 21): Sagittarius rules the hips, thighs, sciatic nerves, and liver. Movement becomes medicine such as walking, yoga, or anything that opens and stretches the hips, supports both circulation and freedom of spirit. The liver, shared with Scorpio’s rulership, continues to be a focal point: avoid overindulgence and support digestion with bitters, lemon water, and grounding routines.

Together, this transition marks a shift from depth to expansion, from introspection to adventure. A reminder that healing is cyclical: we descend to transform, then rise to explore new horizons.

Wellness Tips

🌑 Honour the New Moon in Scorpio (Nov 20)
Perfect time for fasting, digital detox, or deep rest. Support elimination through warm water, gentle herbal teas (dandelion, burdock), and early nights.

🔥 Move with Mars in Sagittarius (from Nov 4)
Channel restless energy into dynamic movement: hikes, dance, or yoga that strengthens the hips and thighs. Avoid impulsive overexertion and balance enthusiasm with rest.

🌿 Support the Liver
With Scorpio and Sagittarius both tied to liver health, avoid excess caffeine, sugar, or alcohol. Add lemon, greens, turmeric, and bitters to meals.

💧 Ground During Mercury Retrograde (Nov 9–29)
Hydrate well, avoid rushing, and double-check communications. Support the nervous system with magnesium and warm foot baths.

💫 Reignite Joy as the Sun Enters Sagittarius (Nov 21)
Connect with optimism and laughter. Plan something inspiring to lift perspective and energy.

For Scorpio’s Depth & Emotional Transformation:

• Crab Apple – For cleansing and self-acceptance.

• Star of Bethlehem – To heal deep emotional or physical wounds.

• Chicory – For possessiveness or emotional intensity in relationships.

The Medicine of Movement and Meaning

November teaches that healing is a dance between stillness and expansion. Scorpio helps us release what no longer serves; Sagittarius reminds us to reach again for meaning, joy, and lightness. 

This month, let your body lead the way: rest when called inward, move when energy stirs, and remember that both are sacred expressions of balance.
