Venus in Vishakha - Nov 18 to Nov 28

Venus, the planet of relating and luxury, enters Vishakha, across the signs of Libra and Scorpio from Nov 18 to 28th, 2025.

This nakshatra is ruled by Indragni, a combination of Indra, King of the Gods, and Agni, the embodiment of divine fire, which creates a passionate and powerful energy. Vishakha’s symbol of a Victory Arch gives you high standards, always with one eye on status and security in your relationships. Some people may accuse you of a deliberate or calculated approach, but you simply think big and like having a goal to work towards.

Vishakha’s Shakti, or special power, is to ‘achieve many fruits in life’, ideal for luxury-loving Venus, where you have the skills to mix with a wide circle of people. You can look forward to a transformative experience in love, where deep emotions have a passionate and purifying quality. Venus, strong in its own sign up to November 26th, finds you balanced and sweet, and showing a romantic flair that attracts people towards you.

This same time period also finds you mediating between different people’s demands, where somebody close may be acting unreasonably and out of character. Expect your personal skills to be in demand at work, and to discover a diplomatic talent that you take for granted but other people appreciate more. November 27th and 28th, see you reaching out to different kinds of companies, and finding an opportunity to mix with a wider and perhaps foreign or exotic circle.

Your partner may act as a kind of teacher figure at this point, or you share this role, and you both put behind you any past tensions or misunderstandings.

Sun in Anuradha - Nov 19 to Dec 02

The Sun, planet of self and creativity, enters Anuradha on November 19th until December 2nd 2025, a gentler and more sensitive nakshatra within tough, Mars-ruled Scorpio.

This nakshatra is also known for a love of travel, so a trip away in good company is good for fun and enlightenment – you may even consider a long-term move, or relocating somewhere to spread your message. The Sun sheds light wherever it lands, so you can also unearth private or hidden knowledge on the way to a major personal success.

Anuradha’s symbol of a Triumphal Arch represents victory after a long career or campaign, with the prospect of success in a project where you have ego invested. As well as furthering your ambitions, this nakshatra’s deity, Mitra, is associated with contracts and alliances, so you can make a plan where everyone benefits. Sun receives the expansive energy of Jupiter through this transit, so your social life can be a perfect escape from the intensity, where you accept an exotic invitation just to see what happens.

Think big, and the world lives up to your expectations. You can be generous and indulgent to your friends, and know the right smart company to cultivate on your way to a career triumph. Anuradha’s Shakti, or special gift, ‘To Worship’, is also enhanced by Jupiter’s influence, so you find faith and spirituality, particularly when you get behind a cause, person, or philosophy you are passionate about.

Victory may come at a cost, or only after you learn something about yourself, so make sure your battles are worth the effort and you don’t increase your troubles for no gain.

Mars in Jyeshta - Nov 19 to Dec 07

Mars is in Jyeshta from November 19th to December 7th, 2025, the last nakshatra in the zodiacal sign of Scorpio.

This is a natural domain for the planet of drive and energy, where it operates with passion and also carries an underlying emotional and sympathetic force. You can stand up for yourself and others with quiet intensity, more like a secret agent than a soldier, and you are aware of hidden dynamics in the company and in business. This nakshatra’s name translates to The Elder, where you take responsibility for friends, family, and co-workers, and may find yourself taking on the grown-up role in a group.

You do well when working independently, but operate according to a strategy if possible, and be patient but persistent. Jyeshta’s Shakti, or unique attribute, is also for ‘Courage in Battle’, so you have fight and passion as you take on a difficult situation, and succeed in spite of tough odds. People look to you for a lead and draw you into a wider struggle with more than just your own interests at stake.

This asterism is sometimes associated with scarcity and insecurity, and while Mars is strong during this transit, it is also well to be careful with your finances and not over-stretch. Mars also receives the support of its planetary friend Jupiter up to December 6th, which gives you courage and a kind of inner faith in your mission. You can work harder and endure for longer when you believe in yourself and enjoy what you do.

Jupiter’s protective influence sits well with Jyeshta’s symbol of an Umbrella or Talisman, and you look after yourself and may also step up to support a friend or family member.
