Capricorn: Mercury turns direct
The month's real structure: the sign changes, the new and full Moons, and anything that turns retrograde.
A new Moon in Scorpio on 9 November falls in friends, groups, and community, which the tradition reads as a place to begin something rather than to finish it.
Mercury turns direct on 13 November, and your priorities starts moving forward again.
Venus turns direct on 14 November, and your priorities starts moving forward again.
The Sun enters Sagittarius on 22 November, moving your attention onto rest, solitude, and behind-the-scenes processing for about a month.
A full Moon in Gemini on 24 November lands in work, routines, and health habits, traditionally read as something coming to a head rather than starting.
Mars enters Virgo on 25 November, shifting toward learning, perspective, and long-range thinking.
Where this came from
Every date above was found by searching the Swiss Ephemeris for this month, not written in advance.
What differs by sign is which area of life each thing falls in, worked out by treating your Sun sign as the first house. That is the technique behind every Sun-sign horoscope ever printed. It is a real one, and it is not the same as a chart cast for your birth time.
Where this falls in your real chart
A solar house is an approximation of a real one. With a birth time the same events land in houses that are actually yours, and often somewhere quite different.
