Weekly Vedic Astrology Predictions for All Zodiac Signs - November 16-22, 2025

Namaste. I am Dr. Palash Thhakur. The week of November 16-22, 2025, arrives on the heels of a deeply transformative period. The intense energies of Scorpio season are now settling, asking us to integrate the profound shifts we have experienced and apply them to the practical fabric of our lives. The cosmos now emphasizes reflection, realistic planning, and the cultivation of inner stability before the next wave of celestial activity.

Let us first attune ourselves to the key planetary configurations that will color this week's energies.

The Cosmic Weather: Key Planetary Alignments

While the major shifts of October have set the stage, their ongoing influences are now being filtered through specific nakshatras and aspects, creating a more nuanced and grounded energy.

1. Sun in Libra (Vishakha to Anuradha Nakshatra): The Sun, our soul and core identity, is now in the balancing sign of Libra, but moving from the determined Vishakha nakshatra into the friendly and star-oriented Anuradha nakshatra around November 19th. Vishakha, ruled by Indra and Agni, gives a relentless drive to achieve our goals. As the Sun moves into Anuradha, ruled by Mitra, the energy softens, encouraging collaboration, deep bonding, and seeking success through supportive networks rather than sheer individual will.

2. Mars in Scorpio (Jyeshtha Nakshatra): Mars, the warrior planet, remains in its own sign of Scorpio, transiting through the fierce and victorious Jyeshtha nakshatra, ruled by Indra. This placement gives immense strategic depth, courage, and a penetrating mind. However, it can also breed a desire for control and secrecy. The combination of Mars in Jyeshtha and the Sun's shift to Anuradha creates a tension between wanting absolute power and realizing the need for alliance.

3. Saturn in Purva Bhadrapada (Pisces): Saturn continues its stern transit through this mystical nakshatra. The theme of burning karmic debts and engaging in serious inner work is still very much active. Saturn here asks for spiritual discipline and compels us to face the consequences of our past actions with maturity, especially in our dreams, subconscious patterns, and private lives.

4. Jupiter in Cancer (Punarvasu Nakshatra): The great benefactor Jupiter, exalted in Cancer, continues to shower its blessings from Punarvasu, the "star of renewal." This fosters emotional growth, domestic harmony, and the return of hope and abundance. It is a profoundly protective and nurturing energy that encourages us to expand our sense of home and family.

5. Venus in Scorpio (Jyeshtha Nakshatra): Venus, the planet of love and harmony, is also in Scorpio, conjoined with Mars in Jyeshtha. This creates a passionate, intense, and deeply transformative energy in relationships and finances. Love is not light and breezy now; it is profound, possessive, and seeks soul-level merger. Financially, it favors strategic investments and uncovering hidden resources.

6. Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio/Libra: This is a critical influence. Mercury is retrograde in Scorpio for most of the week, turning direct on November 22nd in the final degrees of Libra. This retrograde has been dredging up old conversations, secrets, and financial matters. Its station direct offers a chance to finally gain clarity, find lost items, and resolve misunderstandings, but the shadow period demands continued caution.

The overarching theme this week is Integration and Practical Application. The deep truths uncovered in Scorpio season must now be balanced (Libra Sun) and acted upon with strategic will (Mars in Scorpio), all while being mindful of communication (Mercury Direct) and our karmic responsibilities (Saturn). Now, let us explore the detailed weekly forecast for each zodiac sign. As always, for the most profound insights, please refer to your Moon Sign (Rashi).

Weekly Vedic Horoscope (November 16 - 22, 2025)

Aries (Mesha)

Moon Sign Ruler: Mars

Dear Aries, your ruler Mars is powerfully placed in Scorpio, your 8th house of secrets and transformation. This, combined with Mercury Retrograde in the same house, demands a practical and discerning approach to hidden information.

Career and Finance: The 8th house activation with Mars and Venus indicates intense activity behind the scenes. Power struggles, negotiations over loans/inheritance, or confidential projects are highlighted. Be practical and take a reality check about things as they are, not how you assume them to be. There may be a lot going on behind the scenes, and if you aren’t aware, it will come as a shock. Keep your eyes and ears open; much gossip holds a kernel of truth. As per Varahamihira's Brihat Samhita, when Mars occupies the 8th, one must be cautious of hidden enemies. Bank work may be laborious, but getting organized now will bring long-term gratitude.

Love and Relationships: With the Sun in your 7th house of partnership, your focus is on significant others. However, Mercury's retrograde shadow can cause misunderstandings. Be more expressive with your feelings, especially if there's been tension. Something you lost will be found at home, symbolizing the recovery of a lost emotional connection or a physical item.

Health and Well-being: The 8th house rules transformation. Your body is signaling a need for change. The Sushruta Samhita links the 8th house to chronic ailments that require a systemic overhaul. Health matters require a new approach; perhaps a change in lifestyle is what your body needs. In the home front, you may worry about an elder; your calm presence is their medicine.

Vedic Tip: Chant the Mantra for Ketu - "Om Kem Ketave Namah" to help unveil secrets and transform hidden fears. Lighting a ghee lamp for Lord Shiva on Monday can bring mental peace.

Taurus (Vrishabha)

Moon Sign Ruler: Venus

Steady Taurus, your ruler Venus is in Scorpio, your 7th house of partnerships, conjoined with Mars. This brings intense energy to your one-on-one relationships, both personal and professional.

Career and Finance: The 7th house emphasis makes collaboration key. Work matters require you to be more empathetic and collaborate with a sense of compassion. Time to share credit where it’s due. As stated in the Vishnu Purana, true prosperity (Lakshmi) follows Dharma (right action). Giving generously of your credit and support will not block you; it will help you grow. If venturing out on your own, you may have planned enough and may like to plant the seeds for your upcoming venture. Pay close attention to the signs all around you; don't ignore something just because you don't want to hear it.

Love and Relationships: This is a pivotal week. Venus-Mars conjunction can bring intense passion but also conflict. In matters of the heart, let go of your ex; holding on isn’t making either of you happy. This release will create space. New encounters with interesting people are in store. Siblings may act bossy, but deep down you know they mean well.

Health and Well-being: The 7th house can affect the kidneys and hormonal balance. Health matters require you to give up a bad habit for good. The Ashtanga Hridayam recommends adopting a consistent daily routine (Dinacharya) to build ojas (vitality). Money matters look brighter as you release what no longer serves you.

Vedic Tip: Worship Goddess Lakshmi and chant the Shukra Mantra - "Om Dram Dreem Droum Sah Shukraya Namah" to attract harmonious and prosperous partnerships.

Gemini (Mithuna)

Moon Sign Ruler: Mercury

Gemini, your ruler Mercury stations direct this week, ending a period of mental fog and communication glitches, particularly in your daily work and health routines.

Career and Finance: Mercury's direct motion will slowly clear obstacles. Things may feel like they’ve slowed down. The lack of action starts getting to you. Do not force a situation, but be on the lookout for an opportunity. With the Sun in your 6th house, you may consider a side hustle or innovative ways to grow your income. Job seekers may choose to look at joining startups or doing something totally different from the norm. As per Chanakya Niti, innovation in times of stagnation leads to great success.

Love and Relationships: The 4th house of home is activated by Jupiter, bringing activity and joy to your domestic sphere. Home front is busy with repairs, renovations, and frequent visitors. Though physically tiring, a part of you will enjoy the interactions and you’ll look forward to a celebratory event.

Health and Well-being: The 6th house rules health. With Mercury direct, you can now effectively address health issues. Just be mindful of what you’re eating and drinking. Give up a bad habit for good. The Charaka Samhita emphasizes that digestion is the root of all health. Money matters may feel worrisome, but good news will bring relief as Mercury moves forward.

Vedic Tip: Chant the Budha Mantra - "Om Bram Breem Broom Sah Budhaya Namah" 108 times daily to clear your intellect and ensure smooth communication post-retrograde.

Cancer (Karka)

Moon Sign Ruler: Moon

Nurturing Cancer, with Jupiter, the great benefactor, exalted in your sign, your confidence and optimism are naturally high. This week, you are inspired to create and express yourself.

Career and Finance: Jupiter in your 1st house expands your influence. Your confidence and energy levels are high. You feel like experimenting with something new. Your ability to look at the big picture inspires many. However, the Sun in your 5th house cautions against starting projects purely on whim. Just make sure you can sustain the enthusiasm; you don’t want to start something and then get bored halfway.

Love and Relationships: The 5th house rules romance and creativity. The Sun here can inflate the ego. Singles may find themselves dealing with an immature partner. If married, expect some sudden explosions as your spouse may not share all your views. The key is to find a peaceful compromise, not to win the argument. Work towards understanding.

Health and Well-being: The 1st and 5th house activation can lead to overexcitement and burnout. Health matters may need you to be a little more careful about your triggers and your sleep routine. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali recommend Pratyahara (withdrawal of senses) for a restful mind. Money matters show an upward swing, but be sure not to splurge too much.

Vedic Tip: Continue chanting the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra for protection and vitality. Wearing a pearl can help stabilize your heightened emotions.

Leo (Simha)

Moon Sign Ruler: Sun

Regal Leo, with the Sun in your 4th house of home and emotions, your inner world is illuminated. This can bring clarity or, if ignored, lead to emotional eruptions.

Career and Finance: The focus is less on career and more on your emotional foundation. Stress from home can impact your work performance. The lesson is to manage your inner state. Work on regulating the emotions. Unexpressed feelings may suddenly erupt and take you by surprise. People may sense your irritability and keep their distance.

Love and Relationships: The 4th house rules family. Even at home, you may be frustrated with the attitude of a loved one. Clearly, you need to change the way you communicate if they aren’t listening to your lectures. The Bhagavad Gita teaches that peace comes from within, not from controlling external circumstances. Spirituality and worship bring moments of inner peace.

Health and Well-being: Stress can affect the heart and chest. Take time out to destress and make peace with the things you cannot change. The Hatha Yoga Pradipika recommends Sheetali and Sheetkari pranayama to cool the body and mind. Be cautious in money matters and don’t be impatient with long-term investments.

Vedic Tip: Chant the Surya Mantra - "Om Hram Hreem Hroum Sah Suryaya Namah" to strengthen your core vitality and shine light on emotional shadows.

Virgo (Kanya)

Moon Sign Ruler: Mercury

Analytical Virgo, your ruler Mercury stations direct, helping you overcome a period of mental scatter and procrastination, especially in matters of creativity, learning, and communication.

Career and Finance: Mercury's direct motion in your 5th house will help you regain focus. Procrastination is the enemy. Whatever you delayed may suddenly return. Work may pile up. Recalibrate and bring back the focus. Handle tasks one by one, and you’ll be back on track. The Yoga Vashishta states that focused action is the antidote to anxiety.

Love and Relationships: The 5th house also rules children and romance. Children may need careful supervision, especially if one is extra sensitive. The 4th house is blessed by Jupiter, so a family get-together reminds you of how much you are loved. At home, you and your partner may make plans about moving or building a home; be open to their suggestions.

Health and Well-being: The 6th house, ruling health, is under pressure. Watch out for digestive and hormone-related problems. The Ashtanga Hridayam suggests a light, warm diet and regular meal times. Legal matters and bank work show slow progress but will improve post-Mercury direct.

Vedic Tip: Chant the Saraswati Mantra - "Om Aim Kleem Sauh" to sharpen your intellect and clear the backlog of mental work.

Libra (Tula)

Moon Sign Ruler: Venus

Diplomatic Libra, the Sun in your 1st house puts you in the spotlight, boosting your confidence and personal presence. However, this also makes you a target for energy vampires.

Career and Finance: With the Sun highlighting your identity, your success is visible. As you rise higher, get used to the jealous vibes of others and learn to keep a few more things private. The Arthashastra advises the king to be aware of envy in his court. Someone or something has begun draining your energy. Time to set up boundaries with those who take and give nothing in return.

Love and Relationships: Your need for peace is paramount. Quiet time at home recharges your batteries. You may turn down a few invites or detox from digital devices. Listen to what your body wants, not others. Women in the family may need to be distanced from till you find your own inner balance.

Health and Well-being: The 1st house rules the self. Protecting your energy is crucial for health. Say no and set limits about how much you can do. The Sushruta Samhita links stress to a depletion of Ojas. Prioritize rest. Money-wise, you may decide to relook your investments.

Intense Scorpio, with a powerful stellium in your 1st house (Mars, Venus), your personal power, magnetism, and drive are at a peak. The challenge is to balance your desire for control.

Career and Finance: Mars and Venus in your sign give you immense initiative. With your strong desire for stability, you may pass up lucrative opportunities that appear too risky. For business owners, this period may see cost-cutting. Remember to keep things in balance. As per Varahamihira, calculated risks are necessary for growth.

Love and Relationships: Your possessiveness, fueled by Mars, could lead to friction. In matters of the heart, your possessiveness could lead to friction as someone demands more space. Learn to let go a little and go with the flow. The Venus-Mars conjunction is passionate but requires trust.

Health and Well-being: With so much energy in the 1st house, channel it through physical activity to avoid irritability. Health matters show growing stability as you get more disciplined in your self-care routine. Financially, things look stable, but you seek ways to increase earnings.

Vedic Tip: Chant the Mantra for Mars - "Om Kram Kree姆 Kroum Sah Bhaumaya Namah" to direct your immense energy towards constructive transformation.

Disciplined Capricorn, Saturn in your 12th house asks you to slow down and honor your limits. Your ambition is being tested by your body's need for rest.

Career and Finance: The 10th house of career is activated, but so is the 12th house of loss and solitude. Too many demands and deadlines may begin to take their toll. Before you burn out, honor your own needs. Set boundaries and delegate. Don’t overdo things. The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 6) emphasizes that yoga is skill in action, not endless action itself.

Love and Relationships: The 3rd house of communication is highlighted. Be more expressive in your relationships. However, ensure you get downtime to recover. Don’t get provoked by a manipulative friend who may be only interested in getting a reaction out of you. Your peace is more valuable than the conflict.

Health and Well-being: This is the primary focus. The 12th house rules hospitalization and retreat. Health matters need attention; ignoring a symptom doesn’t mean it will go away. Old bills may pile up; organizing your finances will bring peace.

Love and Relationships: The 11th house rules social circles. Saturn here brings lessons in friendship. In personal relationships, you may decide to detach from a toxic connection. Work through the guilt and let them go. Relationships that have been tense may cool down as you choose inner peace over conflict.

Health and Well-being: The 8th house rules chronic issues. A recurring ailment requires a second opinion or even alternative healing. The Charaka Samhita advises exploring all paths to healing. Money matters reveal a need to look at long-term investments.
