November 2026 Continued - The Pressure Intensifies

November 2026 is a month of extraordinary planetary tension, with configurations that may challenge established power, shake financial systems, and bring unexpected developments onto the world stage.

In my earlier article, November 2026: Turning Points. Power Struggles. Breakthroughs?, I explored several significant planetary influences. However, additional configurations deserve attention, particularly their implications for political leadership and the United States.

November 9: A New Moon in Libra

The New Moon in sidereal Libra places renewed emphasis on diplomacy, international agreements, political alliances, and the balance of power.

With Mercury and Venus still retrograde, unresolved negotiations and financial arrangements may return to the forefront. Decisions made during this period could have consequences that become more apparent later in the month.

November 11–16: Mars in Ghandanta, Jupiter, Ketu, and Regulus

Around November 11, Mars moves through Ghandanta, the sensitive transition between sidereal Cancer and Leo. In Vedic astrology, Ghandanta represents a difficult passage when unresolved conditions may surface, and established patterns begin to change.

As Mars enters Leo, it joins Jupiter and Ketu in Magha nakshatra, associated with ancestry, royalty, and inherited authority. Jupiter connects with Ketu around November 11, followed by Mars conjunct Ketu around November 14.

These configurations may signal political power struggles, military tensions, or sudden changes in government.

Nearby is Regulus, the Heart of the Lion, at approximately 6° sidereal Leo. Traditionally associated with royalty and power, this fixed star also warns of the potential downfall of leaders through pride, retaliation, or misuse of authority.

November 24: Full Moon, Uranus, and the Mars T-Square

The November 24 Full Moon occurs near 8° sidereal Taurus, closely conjunct Uranus and opposing the Sun in Scorpio.

Mars in Leo squares this opposition, forming a powerful T-square.

The Taurus–Scorpio axis highlights struggles over power, control, and financial resources. With unpredictable Uranus and confrontational Mars involved, this powerful T-square may trigger sudden revelations, financial instability, and challenges to established political and economic authority.

A Powerful Activation of President Trump's Chart

President Trump enters this turbulent astrological period facing intense political pressure following the November 3 midterm elections. The setbacks have weakened his political position and raised serious questions about his ability to advance his agenda.

The timing is particularly striking. In Trump's sidereal horoscope, natal Mars is near 3° Leo, with his Ascendant at approximately 6° Leo, close to the royal fixed star Regulus.

During mid-November, Mars, Jupiter, and Ketu activate his natal Mars. By November 24, he has experienced his Mars return, while transiting Mars approaches his Ascendant and participates in the powerful Full Moon T-square.

The same planetary configuration suggesting upheaval in world affairs is directly activating sensitive points in the president's horoscope.

Against the backdrop of his electoral setbacks, these transits may signal escalating political confrontations, challenges to his authority, or consequential decisions as he attempts to regain political influence.

With Regulus involved, the traditional themes of leadership, reputation, and the consequences of exercising power become especially relevant.

What This May Mean for You

November's planetary configurations suggest that longstanding tensions may reach important turning points, particularly in government, international affairs, and financial institutions.

The concentration of planets in Leo raises questions about leadership and the consequences of exercising power, while the Full Moon and Uranus emphasize the potential for unexpected developments.

Although these influences may coincide with disruption, they may also create opportunities for necessary change.

The planets may not be finished with November, and neither are the changes they symbolize.

As always, astrology describes potential influences rather than predetermined events. Human choices remain central to how these energies unfold.

But what does all this mean for you personally? The answer depends on how these planetary configurations interact with your natal chart. A personalized astrological consultation can help identify which areas of your life may be affected and what opportunities or challenges lie ahead.
