Overview for this Month: Cancer (All)
November 2022 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Cancer:
Creative, playful, or romantic inclinations are in strong focus in November, dear Cancer. You're more inclined to share your affection, joy, and experiences. You also gravitate to playful and celebratory activities. If you've been holding on too tightly to people or projects that have been keeping you from expressing your true self, you'll be feeling the restriction and looking for ways to make changes. Expressing yourself creatively or more satisfyingly is in focus. With Mars retrograde all month, it's a time for patience. While brand-new endeavors may not get off the ground, it's a strong time to edit, enhance, and improve what you already have.
This month is for seeking inspiration. Relationships with friends and groups can confuse you at times, mainly because emotionally, you're in an entirely different place. Your focus seems squarely on romance, pleasure, entertainment, and your personal life in the first half of November. Your powers of attraction run exceptionally high, and romantic feelings are stirring.
As the month advances, work or routine matters become a stronger priority, as do self-care and health programs. It's an excellent time not only for finding and enjoying work but also for relationships on the job. Until then, it benefits you to find ways to release stress through recreation, pastimes, and leisurely activities. There are plenty of ways to get your message across in November. Others see your uniqueness and value. Your feelings for someone might expand and grow, and someone holding a torch for you may express their appreciation. Writing and learning flow well.
Around the Lunar Eclipse on the 8th, clarifying a matter with a friend may be helpful and relieving. You might also come to powerful realizations about long-term happiness goals. Events tend to push you in the right direction along a more authentic path. You need this background to make meaningful choices later, but consider that it's best to sit with your feelings for a while to get to that point. Your feelings for someone, about a relationship, or about your social life, in general, can be pivotal, reaching a turning point.
While some obsession with private matters or concerns about the past may need attention this month, retrograde Mars is ultimately helping you to better understand your more complicated, buried drives and desires.
Jupiter has returned to your solar ninth house and turns direct on the 23rd after several months of retrograde motion. Your motivation to pursue your studies and interests increases. Developing skills can be a strong draw. You can feel you're turning a corner with your outlook. Publishing or learning matters can move forward, perhaps after some limbo. Delays lift or news comes in that renews your interest in and motivation for these pursuits.
The 22nd brings the Sun into your work and health sector, and the functional side of your life comes into stronger focus. In truth, Venus and Mercury head into this area of your solar chart first--on the 16th and 17th--boosting your interest in your daily affairs. You're taking more pleasure in organizing, list-making, domestic activities, paying attention to food and nutrition, helping, being of service, and working. Relationships benefit from attention to detail and the practical side of things.
Restlessness with your current routines can emerge with these bodies moving into an opposition with retrograde Mars. Focus on doing your best instead of allowing a lack of direction to interfere with productivity. In time, direction and purpose will be revealed. Aim to tame impatience, which can lead to messy situations.
The New Moon on the 23rd brings wonderful energy for starting fresh with a job or a health pursuit. It's a good time to balance out and enjoy your daily routines. Social opportunities may emerge through your work, daily routines, or pursuit of health goals. Your daily affairs are assuming more importance for you now, and you might take extra steps to reach out and help others.
Cancer (Born June 22 to July 1) and Cancer Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Cancer:
November 2022 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
November 2022
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 22nd 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.
Eclipses
A total Lunar Eclipse occurs on November 8th:
A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.
This Lunar Eclipse stimulates your solar eleventh house. Surprises surrounding long-term goals, friendships, and group affiliations may be in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. This could manifest, for example, as a situation that tests a friendship, a culmination or fruition of a casual relationship, you could be called upon to perform a humanitarian gesture, a friend may experience a little crisis and ask for your help, you could suddenly find yourself around many people, perhaps after a period of relative solitude or private time, and other such possibilities.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until November 15th:
Venus continues to transit your solar fifth house. Your popularity is on an upward trend during this cycle as others find you especially attractive and friendly. You may have the desire to dress well and in good taste. There is strength in your feelings of love and the power of attraction, which may open the door to new romantic relationships. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Conditions are highlighted in connection with young people, and quite possibly a female child--a stronger bond could be formed during this period. You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one. 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 November 16th forward:
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
Until November 16th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar fifth house. Increased communication with children, romantic partners, and people who share the same hobbies as you can occur now. Certainly, you are thinking about these people and about love and romance, child rearing, and/or creative pursuits more than usual. Mental exercises and competitions can be particularly enjoyable now. You express yourself with warmth and creativity, and you have an appreciative "audience" for your ideas now.
From November 17th forward:
Mercury transits your solar sixth house. This is a good placement for Mercury, as it is the natural ruler of the sixth house. It's an excellent period for sorting out the details of your daily existence. You are inclined to make to-do lists, pay bills and sort out clutter, and to do detail work on the job. Health matters are most certainly on your brain as well, and you could be thinking of scheduling check-ups or busy researching ways to improve your health. You may also show a keener interest in improving your basic skills.
Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now.
You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment--and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the "little things" that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Menial tasks become more prominent. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output during this cycle.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Mars is retrograde from October 30th, 2022, until January 12th, 2023:
All Mars retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of your career, professional life, ambition, public relations, and your reputation because Mars rules these areas of your life in your solar chart. Stalling, snags, challenges, or seeming setbacks might alert you to the need for re-organizing your energy and enthusiasm for these matters, for re-assessing goals, or for changing plans.
Occurring in your solar twelfth house during this period, your spirituality, private life, gut instincts, and intuition are affected. Perhaps you are not as confident about your hunches. Private affairs and solitary work might need to be put on the back burner, or you could show less enthusiasm for them. Trusting your gut instincts may become an issue. Vague fears and anxieties need to be dealt with. Obsession with private matters or concerns about the past could be part of the picture. Your desire nature can be rather complicated now, and it can be difficult to find direct routes to satisfaction. Old resentments, hurts, and waves of anger can resurface. There can be lowered vitality, likely due to emotional frustrations and exasperation. It's time to rethink, revise, and reorganize your plans. Backtracking is a good idea now. This is a time for learning about how your mental health impacts your life.

November 2022 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
November 2022
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.

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.

You are more rational and objective when it comes to your relationships with those close to you, so it is, in fact, a good time to open up discussions with family. There can be increased activities in and around the home during this cycle. You are not as interested in worldly matters and career as you are in your personal life for the time being.
From November 4-23 forward:

Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle. You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation.

November 2022 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
November 2022
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until November 12th:
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.
From November 12th forward:
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.

You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now. Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation; and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong.
Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle. You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types. You're more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position.
From November 30th forward:
Mercury transits your solar sixth house. This is a good placement for Mercury, as it is the natural ruler of the sixth house. It's an excellent period for sorting out the details of your daily existence. You are inclined to make to-do lists, pay bills and sort out clutter, and to do detail work on the job. Health matters are most certainly on your brain as well, and you could be thinking of scheduling check-ups or busy researching ways to improve your health. You may also show a keener interest in improving your basic skills.
Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now.
You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment--and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the "little things" that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Menial tasks become more prominent. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output during this cycle.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Mars turns retrograde on October 30th, and will be retrograde until January 12th, 2023:
All Mars retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of your career, professional life, ambition, public relations, and your reputation because Mars rules these areas of your life in your solar chart. Stalling, snags, challenges, or seeming setbacks might alert you to the need for re-organizing your energy and enthusiasm for these matters, for re-assessing goals, or for changing plans.
Occurring in your solar twelfth house during this period, your spirituality, private life, gut instincts, and intuition are affected. Perhaps you are not as confident about your hunches. Private affairs and solitary work might need to be put on the back burner, or you could show less enthusiasm for them. Trusting your gut instincts may become an issue. Vague fears and anxieties need to be dealt with. Obsession with private matters or concerns about the past could be part of the picture. Your desire nature can be rather complicated now, and it can be difficult to find direct routes to satisfaction. Old resentments, hurts, and waves of anger can resurface. There can be lowered vitality, likely due to emotional frustrations and exasperation. It's time to rethink, revise, and reorganize your plans. Backtracking is a good idea now. This is a time for learning about how your mental health impacts your life.
Overview Horoscope:
November 2022 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Cancer:
Creative, playful, or romantic inclinations are in strong focus in November, dear Cancer. You're more inclined to share your affection, joy, and experiences. You also gravitate to playful and celebratory activities. If you've been holding on too tightly to people or projects that have been keeping you from expressing your true self, you'll be feeling the restriction and looking for ways to make changes. Expressing yourself creatively or more satisfyingly is in focus. With Mars retrograde all month, it's a time for patience. While brand-new endeavors may not get off the ground, it's a strong time to edit, enhance, and improve what you already have.
This month is for seeking inspiration. Relationships with friends and groups can confuse you at times, mainly because emotionally, you're in an entirely different place. Your focus seems squarely on romance, pleasure, entertainment, and your personal life in the first half of November. Your powers of attraction run exceptionally high, and romantic feelings are stirring.
As the month advances, work or routine matters become a stronger priority, as do self-care and health programs. It's an excellent time not only for finding and enjoying work but also for relationships on the job. Until then, it benefits you to find ways to release stress through recreation, pastimes, and leisurely activities. There are plenty of ways to get your message across in November. Others see your uniqueness and value. Your feelings for someone might expand and grow, and someone holding a torch for you may express their appreciation. Writing and learning flow well.
Around the Lunar Eclipse on the 8th, clarifying a matter with a friend may be helpful and relieving. You might also come to powerful realizations about long-term happiness goals. Events tend to push you in the right direction along a more authentic path. You need this background to make meaningful choices later, but consider that it's best to sit with your feelings for a while to get to that point. Your feelings for someone, about a relationship, or about your social life, in general, can be pivotal, reaching a turning point.
While some obsession with private matters or concerns about the past may need attention this month, retrograde Mars is ultimately helping you to better understand your more complicated, buried drives and desires.
Jupiter has returned to your solar ninth house and turns direct on the 23rd after several months of retrograde motion. Your motivation to pursue your studies and interests increases. Developing skills can be a strong draw. You can feel you're turning a corner with your outlook. Publishing or learning matters can move forward, perhaps after some limbo. Delays lift or news comes in that renews your interest in and motivation for these pursuits.
The 22nd brings the Sun into your work and health sector, and the functional side of your life comes into stronger focus. In truth, Venus and Mercury head into this area of your solar chart first--on the 16th and 17th--boosting your interest in your daily affairs. You're taking more pleasure in organizing, list-making, domestic activities, paying attention to food and nutrition, helping, being of service, and working. Relationships benefit from attention to detail and the practical side of things.
Restlessness with your current routines can emerge with these bodies moving into an opposition with retrograde Mars. Focus on doing your best instead of allowing a lack of direction to interfere with productivity. In time, direction and purpose will be revealed. Aim to tame impatience, which can lead to messy situations.
The New Moon on the 23rd brings wonderful energy for starting fresh with a job or a health pursuit. It's a good time to balance out and enjoy your daily routines. Social opportunities may emerge through your work, daily routines, or pursuit of health goals. Your daily affairs are assuming more importance for you now, and you might take extra steps to reach out and help others.

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:
