Overview for this Month: Cancer (All)
November 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Cancer:
November brings much focus on recreation, love, work, and health, dear Cancer. Your general mood is playful and happy, and you're making more room for enjoying and expressing yourself. You have greater passion and motivation to get things done, learn, connect, and share. It's also a time to make adjustments, get your priorities straight, and revise your work. You may not often sit still, and you’re inclined to take the initiative on independent work and projects. You learn best when you are teaching yourself this month.
The Full Moon on the 5th brings you in touch with a creative or social matter that needs special attention. Emotions can be intense and a little raw around a Full Moon, but if you think things over carefully before taking action, it's revealing. Issues with friends that were left hanging or unresolved may magnify, giving you just the right motivation to make necessary changes and resolutions. This Full Moon might also mark a turning point in a friendship or project. You might ask yourself if you’ve been putting in the effort to take better care of yourself and the things/people you love in the long term, not just in the moment.
Until the 6th, activities with family or around the home are in especially good favor. Relationships with loved ones or living conditions are pleasant.
From the 4th onward, work can be particularly busy or demanding, and this may be in large part due to rising ambitions to get things done. Alternatively, it's a time of more actively pursuing health and wellness goals. Even so, delays may keep you from charging ahead in these areas from the 9th to the 18th, especially. It can be frustrating, but the redirection can serve you well if it means taking care of details that you missed. You may be proving yourself on the job or simply enjoying more take-charge energy as you go about your daily routines.
There can be some everyday pressures, and you might feel the need to rush decisions at times this month. Circumstances challenge you to develop systems to improve your productivity and pay attention to deadlines, details, and rules. It's a fine time to straighten out your daily affairs-- you have plenty of cosmic support for this, even with some delays. The improvements you make now can benefit you greatly later.
Mercury is retrograde from the 9th to the 29th, and it's best to take your time with important decisions. Mercury’s retrograde affects your work and routines most until the 18th, after which it's more about romance, hobbies, and pastimes. There can be backtracking or delays as you wait for information to arrive. You might discover new ways to recycle or rework old hobbies. Be more cautious of what you communicate around the 9th to 12th and the 29th. Misunderstandings are likely, and more weight may be given to words you might wish to take back later.
Jupiter in your sign turns retrograde on the 11th. While this generous planet continues to boost your optimism and confidence until June 30th, 2026, during its retrograde from November 11th to March 10th, you are likely to recognize areas of excess and begin to work on projects that you’ve already taken on rather than adding new ones to your life. If you’ve been overdoing pleasures or the seeking of freedom, this is the time to rethink and make adjustments that bring you down to earth, just a little!
While you might often be preoccupied with health and work matters this month, your personal appeal is strong. Love, creative expression, entertainment, and pleasure are themes. You’re in good shape to attract others with your unique self-expression and vision, in fact. You find ways to shine your light and share your ideas, love, and creations. This month may not be the ideal time to make long-term commitments, but it has all the potential to be a spirit-feeding, pleasurable time in your life. At the very least, you’ll put plans in place for bringing more playfulness into your world.
You might experience a new beginning in a romance. There are ups and downs in your social life, but also clear opportunities. The New Moon on the 20th occurs in your sector of romance, hobbies, creativity, and children, but just a day later, the Sun moves out of this area of your solar chart and into your work and health sector. It’s not an ideal time to make bold decisions or moves, but you still feel a sense of starting fresh and heading in a new direction.
Saturn’s direct turn on the 27th helps you work on bringing your expectations down to earth. Self-improvement endeavors can be in focus and more successful with your firmer grip on what’s realistic and realizable. Your life might improve with support, increased structure, and greater commitment. Two days later, Mercury ends its retrograde as well, and the flow of information unclogs.
Cancer (Born June 22 to July 1) and Cancer Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Cancer:
November 2025 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
November 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until November 21st:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar fifth house. This is a time when pleasure-seeking and creative activities come into focus and grab much of your attention. You are particularly personally charming in a spontaneous, natural way during this solar cycle. This is the time of year when you are ready to perform and to express yourself creatively.
This is a very playful cycle, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. It's a good time for recreation, romance, connecting with children, and enjoying and performing the arts. Your ego is tied up in your children, romantic relationships, and creative output now, so that you can be especially proud of these people and things. You can also be over-sensitive about these matters if you feel you are not getting enough appreciation.
From November 21st forward:
The Sun illuminates your solar sixth house. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. It's a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. Details are more important to you now.
It's time to bring order to your life by focusing on the little things that make up the whole. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn't work in your life, while also discovering what does. You could seek distinction and strive towards perfection in your work. Efficiency should be your goal now. Your physical health, as well as the relationship between your body and your mind, are in focus.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 6th:
Venus continues to transit your solar fourth house now. Domestic relationships and the home environment tend to be especially harmonious and peaceful during this cycle. You may have a desire to decorate your home with better quality items or more attention to aesthetics. An inner sense of peace and security tends to dominate now, or the desire for peace motivates you now. Your affections are strong but you don't wear your heart on your sleeve just now, preferring quiet moments with loved ones.
From the 6th to 30th:
Venus warms your solar fifth house. This is an expressive period for the goddess of love! It's natural for you to turn on the charm without even lifting a finger. You are especially attracted to aesthetic forms of recreation. You feel a little more playful now, and love matters tend to be laced with a touch of drama. That shouldn't be a problem--in fact, you kind of like it that way for the time being. More loving and appreciative relationships with your children may also figure now. Your powers of attraction skyrocket during this cycle. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!
From the 30th onward:
Venus graces your solar sixth house now. Establishing a happy and harmonious work environment through friendly relations with co-workers or tidying up your work area comes into focus now. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment. You are generally well liked and respected socially on the job right now. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work! Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit during this cycle, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. You are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so! You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony. You could find that your talents or skills are especially appreciated. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury is retrograde from November 9-29:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of personal communications in general as well as communications about the past because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Your intuition usually serves you very well, but may not be up to par for the time being. Take care when it comes to presenting ideas, writing letters, and any detail work. You may not be seeing the whole picture.
Occurring in your solar fifth and sixth houses this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to romance, children, creativity, work, and daily routines. Be as non- judgmental as you can with co-workers, romantic partners, and your children. Re- thinking the suitability of your job and/or romantic relationships is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. Work-related mess-ups can frustrate you. Double-check your work. There may be the need to revisit old issues with your children or lover, or there could be some communication problems with the same. Arguments with a lover may be blown out of proportion far too easily. Both you and your lover should avoid harping on the words used and try to get to the meaning behind the words instead. Or, a romance may not be moving forward in obvious ways. It might seem like stagnation, but it's actually a period of review and rest. Other possibilities include calls that are not returned, a lover is late for a date, or dates get cancelled. Speculation and gambling are not advised right now. Things will change once Mercury turns direct, so you might decide to try to keep status quo for the time being. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with co-workers, professors, lawyers, romantic partners, and children, or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 4th:
Mars continues to energize your solar fifth house. This brings increased energy and enthusiasm to romance, child-rearing, and creative or recreational endeavors. It can also bring some strife to these areas of your world in some cases. For the most part, however, a romance could pick up pace, you are self-motivated and inspired on creative and expressive levels, and your self-confidence is well-received by others during this cycle. You are more willing to take little risks and you are competitive in a mostly friendly way. In your enthusiasm to take the lead, try to be sensitive to and respectful of others' needs.
From the 4th onward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar sixth house. You have more energy for work and your daily routines tend to speed up during this transit. Perhaps you have a larger workload than usual. It's a great time to take charge of your health. You have much energy at your disposal to pick up (or step up) a health and physical activity program. It might be hard for you to work with others in a harmonious manner during this transit, and disputes with co-workers are possible. If you are feeling especially angry, frustrated, or restless, it would be wise to find little projects and things to do so that you can channel excess energy constructively. If health is affected, fevers or infections are more likely.

Cancer (Born July 2 to 12)
AND Cancer Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Cancer:
November 2025 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
November 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun illuminates your solar fifth house now. After a period of "nesting", you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors!
You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether people appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year.
This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are--when your "inner child" comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life--not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.

November 2025 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
November 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until November 11th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar fourth house. This is a period of recharge, of getting in touch with your innermost feelings, of connecting with your roots, and of spending more time and energy on home and family. Home and family matters capture your attention and are a strong source of pride now. It's a time when worldly matters are not as important to you.
Use this energy to find ways to improve your family relations and your home environment. During this heart-warming cycle, you would do best to allow yourself to explore your inner needs so that you can nurture yourself and others in a healthy, growth-oriented manner, in preparation for more outgoing times to come.

There may be the need to revisit old issues with your children or lover, or there could be some communication problems with the same. Arguments with a lover may be blown out of proportion far too easily. Both you and your lover should avoid harping on the words used and try to get to the meaning behind the words instead. Or, a romance may not be moving forward in obvious ways. It might seem like stagnation, but it's actually a period of review and rest. Other possibilities include calls that are not returned, a lover is late for a date, or dates get cancelled. Speculation and gambling are not advised right now. It's probably not the best time to launch a new creative project, but it's a good time for reworking an existing one. Same goes for romance! Things will change after Mercury turns direct, so you might decide to try to keep status quo for the time being. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with romantic partners, and children; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to energize your solar fifth house. This brings increased energy and enthusiasm to romance, child-rearing, and creative or recreational endeavors. It can also bring some strife to these areas of your world in some cases. For the most part, however, a romance could pick up pace, you are self-motivated and inspired on creative and expressive levels, and your self-confidence is well-received by others during this cycle. You are more willing to take little risks and you are competitive in a mostly friendly way. In your enthusiasm to take the lead, try to be sensitive to and respectful of others' needs.
Overview Horoscope:
November 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Cancer:
November brings much focus on recreation, love, work, and health, dear Cancer. Your general mood is playful and happy, and you're making more room for enjoying and expressing yourself. You have greater passion and motivation to get things done, learn, connect, and share. It's also a time to make adjustments, get your priorities straight, and revise your work. You may not often sit still, and you’re inclined to take the initiative on independent work and projects. You learn best when you are teaching yourself this month.
The Full Moon on the 5th brings you in touch with a creative or social matter that needs special attention. Emotions can be intense and a little raw around a Full Moon, but if you think things over carefully before taking action, it's revealing. Issues with friends that were left hanging or unresolved may magnify, giving you just the right motivation to make necessary changes and resolutions. This Full Moon might also mark a turning point in a friendship or project. You might ask yourself if you’ve been putting in the effort to take better care of yourself and the things/people you love in the long term, not just in the moment.
Until the 6th, activities with family or around the home are in especially good favor. Relationships with loved ones or living conditions are pleasant.
From the 4th onward, work can be particularly busy or demanding, and this may be in large part due to rising ambitions to get things done. Alternatively, it's a time of more actively pursuing health and wellness goals. Even so, delays may keep you from charging ahead in these areas from the 9th to the 18th, especially. It can be frustrating, but the redirection can serve you well if it means taking care of details that you missed. You may be proving yourself on the job or simply enjoying more take-charge energy as you go about your daily routines.
There can be some everyday pressures, and you might feel the need to rush decisions at times this month. Circumstances challenge you to develop systems to improve your productivity and pay attention to deadlines, details, and rules. It's a fine time to straighten out your daily affairs-- you have plenty of cosmic support for this, even with some delays. The improvements you make now can benefit you greatly later.
Mercury is retrograde from the 9th to the 29th, and it's best to take your time with important decisions. Mercury’s retrograde affects your work and routines most until the 18th, after which it's more about romance, hobbies, and pastimes. There can be backtracking or delays as you wait for information to arrive. You might discover new ways to recycle or rework old hobbies. Be more cautious of what you communicate around the 9th to 12th and the 29th. Misunderstandings are likely, and more weight may be given to words you might wish to take back later.
Jupiter in your sign turns retrograde on the 11th. While this generous planet continues to boost your optimism and confidence until June 30th, 2026, during its retrograde from November 11th to March 10th, you are likely to recognize areas of excess and begin to work on projects that you’ve already taken on rather than adding new ones to your life. If you’ve been overdoing pleasures or the seeking of freedom, this is the time to rethink and make adjustments that bring you down to earth, just a little!
While you might often be preoccupied with health and work matters this month, your personal appeal is strong. Love, creative expression, entertainment, and pleasure are themes. You’re in good shape to attract others with your unique self-expression and vision, in fact. You find ways to shine your light and share your ideas, love, and creations. This month may not be the ideal time to make long-term commitments, but it has all the potential to be a spirit-feeding, pleasurable time in your life. At the very least, you’ll put plans in place for bringing more playfulness into your world.
You might experience a new beginning in a romance. There are ups and downs in your social life, but also clear opportunities. The New Moon on the 20th occurs in your sector of romance, hobbies, creativity, and children, but just a day later, the Sun moves out of this area of your solar chart and into your work and health sector. It’s not an ideal time to make bold decisions or moves, but you still feel a sense of starting fresh and heading in a new direction.
Saturn’s direct turn on the 27th helps you work on bringing your expectations down to earth. Self-improvement endeavors can be in focus and more successful with your firmer grip on what’s realistic and realizable. Your life might improve with support, increased structure, and greater commitment. Two days later, Mercury ends its retrograde as well, and the flow of information unclogs.

About These Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart.
Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month.
For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. Transits don’t abruptly change as the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Lunar Cycles section reveals lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes, simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
Learn all about the signs of the zodiac. We offer interpretations of the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and the Ascendant in the signs:
