Void of Course Dates this Month
On November 4th, Saturn stations and turns direct after retrograde motion since June 17th. This change of direction serves as a strong reminder to take care of our responsibilities and bring our goals down to earth. With Saturn’s direct turn, our responsibilities, and perhaps our limitations, magnify. Gradually, our longer-term goals and plans become clearer.
On November 5th, Jupiter forms a semi-square to Neptune. This longer-term influence that first occurred in July adds a thread of idealism to our lives. We’re hopeful but perhaps looking in the wrong places for inspiration. Unrealistic or inflated expectations can mislead us–people can lead us astray, too. We might gloss over important and realistic details or suffer from some disorganization. This aspect will form again in March 2024.
On November 13th, a New Moon occurs in the sign of Scorpio, prompting a new beginning and encouraging us to move out of our comfort zone and welcome new ways to live, heal, and transform. It’s a time for taking a good look at what we may have chosen to sweep under the carpet. Taking the time to understand others’ motives can enrich our feelings of intimacy, forgiveness, and sense of meaning.
We might want to use this cycle to focus on and develop one special project or relationship to help add purposefulness and depth to our lives. Intimate relationships need a brand new approach, and we can see this more clearly now.
This lunation is conjunct Mars and opposite Uranus, suggesting a strong drive to push forward a new beginning, although it’s rather erratic or rebellious energy. Others’ reactions can surprise us.
On November 27th, a Full Moon occurs in the sign of Gemini. This lunation can bring sudden awareness to our lives and a rather urgent “need to know.” We may want to get an important message across, finish a communications project, or make an announcement. Travel and communications are in strong focus.
This Full Moon is aligned with Mars via the Sun and square Saturn. There can be a real desire to master a situation, but some blocks or obstacles to overcome.

This Month’s Overview Horoscopes
The following horoscopes outline how the above astrological influences might affect each individual sign.
Overview horoscopes fill in here as I write them, ideally during the week before the month begins. It is not unusual to see some signs temporarily missing as I write the twelve of them over the course of a few days, starting with the featured sign of the month (birthday month).
AriesNovember 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aries: You tend to work on or pursue certain projects with extra dedication and passion this month, dear Aries. Relationships could have more heat or edginess to them. Still, you're in a great position to look within for answers. It's not until later in the month that you're ready to jump into action in most life departments. For the first three weeks of November, you're more inclined to plan and strategize, and this is good for you right now, as there is a natural ebb and flow to transits. While you're more an observer than a participant in the first three weeks of the month, you have the courage or necessary push to handle tricky intimacy, ownership, or debt problems. Feelings are more intense than usual, but not uncomfortably so. You are more willing than usual to explore your deeper feelings. It can be a time for resolving a business or money problem or an issue of respect or ownership in a relationship. As well, you can be particularly confident along emotional lines with your private feelings and needs or with close relationships. You can resolve emotional predicaments, or, if not fix, find peace with your problems. You might decide to share a burden or secret with a trusted person or find some other form of satisfying release for issues that have been weighing you down. Your tendency is to see the hidden layers or elements of a situation to your advantage since you know how to work out a problem from the inside out. A spirit of openness, even if it's only with yourself through self-honesty, can be useful now, leading to breakthrough insights. Indeed, letting go of the negative energy of mistrust can be therapeutic. From the 8th forward, Venus in your partnership sector is excellent for attracting helpful or happy people into your life. It's a little easier than usual to enjoy good company. You're not only more companionable, you appreciate pairing up with others and enjoying yourself. Others extend kindnesses to you. Saturn ends its retrograde motion this month, and while it can bring on a small dose of reality, it's also likely to lead to a feeling of strength and clarity. It can be a time to face elements of your past that are resurfacing as truths or realities. Knowing your position can lead to making better plans. Slowly but surely, you'll feel more equipped to put negative habits and attitudes behind you. Gradually, you're bound to feel stronger, clearer, and more capable. New settings, ideas, and experiences hold stronger appeal from the 22nd forward, although you'll feel this theme building earlier in the month when Mercury enters your solar sector of the higher mind. These could be the backdrop for exciting developments in your life, or there can be an emphasis on pulling yourself out of your usual routines and enjoying a change of scenery. You'll have the courage or the motivation to pull yourself out of your comfort zone now! You seek more spirited, interactive life experiences, and routines can feel more limiting than usual. You may feel the need or desire to stand up for yourself or your beliefs. Competitive activities can thrive. A new adventure is possible, or you otherwise experience a detour from the routine. You can be very worked up about ideas and beliefs. In general, you enjoy a more active, assertive, direct, and spontaneous approach to your life. It's a strong time for sharing your ideas and gaining an audience for them. Transits in the last week of the month encourage a passion for a new idea, subject, course of study, or destination and bring you into strong touch with personal desires. It's an active time for romantic expression as well, although you may need to watch for impulsiveness, and it favors competitions and athletics. You're ready to share your enthusiasm with others. It's quite natural to let go of recent frustrations and pressures and to move forward. The Full Moon on the 27th can bring deadlines, errands, and paperwork to your attention. If you've been avoiding your daily affairs, it's a time to restore balance. This lunation can pull up revelations, news, or turning points with transportation, special projects, studies, or publishing. |
TaurusNovember 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Taurus: Relationship dynamics and negotiations are in the spotlight in November, dear Taurus. There can also be more activity with shared finances, emotional and financial support, and intimate matters. It's an excellent period for resolving to clear up debts or for getting started on a new and improved financial plan. Lively energy is with you in the first few weeks of the month for close relationships. If you remain flexible to changes of plans and open to taking a few emotional risks, this can be a time of sudden attractions, enhanced relationships, and new beginnings. The New Moon on the 13th is a powerful one, putting close, committed relationships or negotiations into sharp focus. It would benefit you greatly to be creative, dynamic, and ready to take action. Be careful, however, because as you follow your drive to make positive changes in your life, your heart and sometimes sensitivity may not be engaged. While there can be competitive feelings and frustration if others are not always taking your plans seriously, it's an important time to work with others instead of against them. You're working toward more equality, particularly when it comes to the effort put forth, in a partnership or significant friendship. Venus graces your work and health sector from the 8th forward, which can reinforce the theme of working for your relationships. Still, it can also help you improve the environment you work in and increase your enjoyment and appreciation of your work, daily affairs, and routines. Relationships with people you spend time with on a daily basis or as you pursue your routines and health goals can be extra special now. Coming to someone's aid can lead to good feelings and energy. It's a good time to offer your services. While this is not necessarily a standout month for explicit recognition, you feel more motivated the more meaning you find in what you're doing now. Use this period to discover what you love doing, and aim to do it more often! Others are putting their faith in you, and this, in turn, motivates you to step up your game even further! With Saturn's direct turn on the 4th, truths coming to light help you better grasp the reality of friendships or projects, a long-term plan, aspiration, or goal. You're also in better shape to meet responsibilities. Your emotional life assumes more and more importance as the month advances, with Mercury, the Sun, and Mars heading into your solar eighth house on the 10th, 22nd, and 24th. It can be tricky at times. Buried anger or resentment can have a way of emerging when least expected. However, it's a good time to manage all of these matters fearlessly rather than sweep problems under the rug. Your inner world or an intimate relationship comes into stronger focus as the month advances. This area of your solar chart rules intimacy, sharing, finances shared with others or received through others, and self-empowerment. You can be motivated to pursue these things, for example. The impulses you experience now may be emotionally driven, internal, or relationship-focused. It can also be a time for drumming up support. You can be hungry for emotional stimulation, making this an excellent opportunity to pour energy into or seek out a passion project or self-improvement program. It's a time when you refuse to accept the ordinary or static and strive to make long-lasting changes that empower you so that quitting a bad habit can be particularly successful now. Your focus on a particular endeavor strengthens, and you're more determined. Strategy and research can figure strongly. You seek something you can pour yourself into wholeheartedly. You're likely to have some breakthroughs in your personal life or with finances in the last week of November. It's a time for being brave and honest with yourself and perhaps some excitement and courage with a special person. Around the Full Moon on the 27th, you're recognizing your needs, and with more clarity about your feelings, you'll have a better idea of your next step. Opportunities to advance business and financial goals can arise now. You might also be asserting your independence in surprising ways. |
GeminiNovember 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Gemini: The details are often in stronger focus than the big picture this month, dear Gemini, as you have considerable energy and support for shaping up your daily routines, including work and health efforts. Super-motivated and energetic, you can get a whole lot done. You are sure to find ways to revitalize everyday life. Later in November, you move into a relationship-focused period. You can be especially motivated to take charge of your work environment, daily life, or wellness routines. Changes and improvements feel especially important. These things benefit from the increased dose of energy and confidence with you now. You’re learning new skills, organizing, tidying, and taking care of business, and you can be incredibly self-motivated. This applies to health and fitness or self-care, as well. You take more pride in what you do or in your ability to manage the details of your life. If you need to get back on track with handling routines or pursuing health programs, this is a stellar time to do so, as long as you don’t push yourself too hard or bring too much ego into the mix. Professional and reputation matters or goals gain clarity, slowly but surely, from the 4th. Although it can take a bit of time to get back on track, you are likely to see some subtle improvements in these areas. There may be a reality check, but you’ll also determine what’s genuinely doable. Hard work may not pay off just yet, but you enjoy some progress. In many ways, you’re busy working in the background in the first part of the month. However, there is an active, open, and generous spirit to what you’re doing that attracts attention. Good energy is with you for solving a work problem or straightening out misconceptions and reputation problems. People recognize your efforts, talents, or leadership ability. You can be particularly inspired by a work or health pursuit, project, or lifestyle adjustment. Consider that excess energy can lead to impatience or brusqueness with others and unnecessary stress. You’ll want to take the lead now, which may be at the root of frustration–channel all this dynamic energy into beneficial pursuits. Especially from the 13th to the 17th, you can have a strong desire to start or step up a fitness or health program, ambition and enthusiasm about your job or services, or an impulse to get organized and in better shape. If conflicts occur this month, they likely are due to impatience. Fortunately, Venus spends most of the month in harmony with your sign. From the 8th, love is sweet, exciting, and all around you. Creative and romantic feelings blossom, and pursuits thrive. People appreciate you a little more than usual, and you more naturally and spontaneously share your feelings. Connecting with people who share similar or complementary interests to yours can figure strongly now. Love and affection are both easier to give and receive. Close relationships, partnering, and negotiating come into stronger focus as the month advances. You are approaching a power period for relationships, and you’re likely to experience some unusual desires and plot twists along the way! First, Mercury moves into your partnership sector (on the 10th), and then comes the Sun (on the 22nd), and finally, Mars (on the 24th). There are more benefits, challenges, pleasures, and learning experiences through and with others. It’s an incredible period for collaborating or simply enjoying more interaction and fun exchanges with someone special. It’s not the easiest time to arrive at decisions quickly, but the reason for this is also the beauty of these transits: you are seeing things from a new perspective and considering the other side of the coin. You learn more about your own feelings, tastes, and ideas through exchanges with others, which get you thinking. A partner could come into strong focus or take the lead at this time, or the motivation to pursue a relationship can increase sharply. Someone special in your life challenges you to experience new things. Alternatively, more shared activities with others can be in strong focus. Conflicts can certainly ensue, but getting problems out into the open helps you find the right tools to resolve them. You could be paving the way for a fresh start in the relationship department. Relationships are animated in the last week of the month, and a Full Moon in your sign can catapult you into a position to make executive decisions. Still, influences also prompt you to see the value of sharing yourself, including your problems or burdens, with a special someone. |
CancerNovember 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Cancer: This can be one of the biggest months of the year for romantic and creative opportunities or excitement, dear Cancer. There is plenty of activity in your sector of romance, recreation, self-expression, hobbies, and children in the first three weeks of the month, and the New Moon on the 13th boosts these themes further. Your more unique and entertaining qualities are in the spotlight. This is a playful or flirtatious, sometimes impulsive time for you. It's also a fabulous time for expressing your art. You could pick up a new hobby or revive an old one. As November progresses, your attention begins to shift towards more practical matters. You'll be concentrating on the details and daily routines of your life and aiming to change up things in these areas. It's time for fine-tuning! Until then, the first three weeks are strong for charisma and enjoyment. You're in touch with your need to entertain or be entertained and to create and enjoy extra playtime. You could be spending time and/or money on entertainment, recreation, hobbies, dating, or children, but you should watch for taking risks or acting too impulsively. Otherwise, this is a dynamic period for approaching the world of creativity and self-expression more boldly. You might embrace a new hobby or share your creative work with others courageously now. You feel more comfortable sharing your creative side, a fun project or pastime excites you, or there may be much to enjoy with a love interest or romantic partner. There can be quite a bit of excitement about sharing your interests or time with others. Even so, Venus spends the 8th onward at the bottom of your solar chart, pointing to the need for extra pampering and a period of reminding yourself of the comforts of familiarity. Home life can improve, or you seek out quieter times. Redecorating or making the home more comfortable and friendly can be a theme now. Throughout the month, it's a good idea to keep in mind that you risk jumping into new situations or ventures before you know what's in your heart. Before saying "yes," think about whether you truly want this for yourself – get in touch! There is a tendency to bury feelings or leave them behind when making decisions now. Saturn's direct turn on the 4th helps you work on bringing your expectations down to earth. Self-improvement endeavors can be in focus and more successful as you have a firmer grip on what's realistic and realizable. Your life might improve with support or increased structure and commitment. A work and health or "take care of business" theme emerges as the month advances. As hard as you've been going with leisure, you will likely do the same with work now. Mercury enters your sector of work, health, and routines on the 10th, and later, the Sun and Mars follow suit (on the 22nd and 24th). You're putting more muscle, personality, intelligence into improving your work, health, daily routines, habits, and self-care programs. It's an especially busy and active period for taking care of business, organizing, seeking out work or improving work, and becoming more active or proactive with your health. You have more energy, initiative, and courage in these areas, which is great, but you should also watch for impatience and shortness or impulsive actions. Around the Full Moon on the 27th, if you've exhausted yourself, you get a reminder to slow down. This can also be a time when a secret comes to light or you bring closure to a critical area or situation in your life. In the last week of the month, you are challenged to bring a new perspective and alternative methods to what you produce or to the services you provide. Work can be lively, and your daily grind is not entirely predictable, but not chaotic either. |
LeoNovember 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Leo: The focus is often on your home or family life as you begin November, dear Leo. Extra activity and energy are with you in your personal life. You're in a nesting phase, although you are unlikely to be idle! It's a time of adjustments, improvements, changes, and sometimes restlessness. Your domestic life is often active and animated in the first three weeks of the month. More involvement with family members or traffic through the home can be in store. Reorganization or renovation and other similar endeavors can figure strongly. You can feel quite a bit of enthusiasm building, primarily along emotional lines. A feeling of support, whether you gain backing or enjoy helping others, is uplifting. Personal matters, intimate relationships, and family or household matters are in particularly good form, most notably as you develop workable solutions to problems or reach out to connect and bond with people you care about. You can feel eager to put an obstacle behind you. It's a time to ask yourself what you can improve to make your life better all around. The New Moon on the 13th occurs in your sector of home and family, and the Sun and Mars align in this area of your solar chart on the 17th-18th. Whether it's a move, renovations, household projects, changes in living conditions, or different family dynamics, it's time to start fresh. Being active and productive is satisfying. You may feel inspired by your deeper connections with a person or project, private matters, family connections, and realizations or discoveries about psychological issues. Breaking through walls or taboos, practicing forgiveness, and releasing or sharing a burden can figure strongly. With Saturn's direct turn on the 4th, you might gain more clarity with finances or a relationship. This turnaround can also boost your conviction to make a significant lifestyle change. You may see progress with debts or financial support from this date forward. The need to buckle down could prompt you to be more attentive to--or responsible for--a matter. It's also possible to gain more clarity in your intimate life or about an important project. But while you're often focusing on settling in and attending to your need for security, familiarity, and comfort, Venus is in your communications sector from the 8th forward, stirring your curiosity. It's an excellent influence for enjoying your personal interests or studies and expressing yourself more charmingly. Good feedback can arrive, and incoming communications or news can be pleasantly motivating. Pleasant contact, friendly exchanges, or improved relations with acquaintances can headline your social life. Your ideas, attitude, and mindset attract positive attention. Mercury in your creative sector from the 10th is also excellent for communication success. If you don't already do it, consider writing about something you love and sharing it. In fact, as the month advances, a theme of romance, creativity, recreation, and self-expression is building. First, Mercury moves into your solar fifth house on the 10th. Later, the Sun follows suit on the 22nd, and Mars joins in on the 24th, representing a shift of interest and attitude. You're entering a very expressive and exciting period for romance, recreation, and hobbies. You can be motivated to pursue romance, fun, pleasure, hobbies, or recreation. You are particularly bold about expressing your creativity or feelings. While there can be times when you're impatient, ideally, you're confident and in charge rather than too impulsive. Inhibitions fall away. Tune into your energy and motivation, but tune out, as much as possible, reckless inclinations now, as the former can bring you to the finishing line happily, and the latter can lead to regret. Something that sticks out this month is that you're absolutely not interested in repeating the same old patterns or sticking to lifeless routines. Dealing with long-standing problems and even childhood issues can be successful — you are upgrading your comfort zone! The last week of November can feature social or romantic excitement. The Full Moon on the 27th can bring feelings, a connection, friendship, or a project to a turning point or point of blossoming. |
VirgoNovember 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Virgo: Your personal interests, projects, or studies continue to gather momentum this month, dear Virgo. November can be a busy, communicative, and connected month for you, and even though the focus changes to home and family life later this month, it remains an energetic period. This is largely due to the Sun and Mars traveling rather closely together throughout November, riling things up! Various activities, work, and errands can sometimes scatter your attention, but they also keep you engaged. Of course, for best results, you might aim to manage your energy so that you avoid a hectic environment. For example, making lists and plans can prevent a haphazard approach — something that happens all too easily when Mars moves through your solar third house as it does now until the 24th. Watch for impulsive movements and communications since you can be quick on the trigger, and you can have so very much on your mind. Impatience or unexpressed anger can lead to mistakes or missteps. However, this influence is fabulous for the courage to push a project forward, express your ideas, or initiate a connection. It's also strong for the motivation to learn and share. You could be building up your confidence in or enthusiasm for a project, a course of study, an idea, or a special pursuit. Until the 8th, Venus is in your sign, and attention frequently turns to your gracious and attractive qualities. Opportunities for cooperation and shared happiness emerge, and creative or romantic matters can thrive. Money matters can improve. Discovering a new passion, interest, hobby, or love may be in focus now. Others seem to be in your corner. Your powers of attraction skyrocket. Venus is in your solar second house from the 8th onward, lightening the load and reminding you of the comforts and pleasures of simple, earthy activities. This energy is less about making money and more about enjoying what you have. It's a generally good influence for income, bonuses, or gifts. Attracting rather than chasing resources is most successful now. While your daily life can be hectic, there is something very comfortable and pleasant about your work and practical affairs in November. Special times set aside to enjoy yourself and settle in can be notable and most satisfying. Saturn's direct turn on the 4th helps ground you, bringing clarity to a relationship or your stand on a situation. Realistic expectations of projects and people lead to happier moods all around! With the New Moon on the 13th and the Sun and Mars aligning in your communications sector on the 17th-18th, you want action with learning, sharing, and connecting. You should probably watch for impatience and speaking before thinking, but you can successfully channel excess energy into pet projects, courageous moves, making contact, or following through on a missed connection. Mercury, the Sun, and Mars move to the bottom of your solar chart on the 10th, 22nd, and 24th, respectively, and themes shift as November advances. It can shape up to be an exceptionally busy, animated, and active time for home and family matters. The trick is to channel and manage this additional energy well and to your advantage! Irritations or long-term problems brewing under the surface are now prominent and ready for resolution. For the best results, be direct but also sensitive to others' feelings. It can be a good time for tackling household projects, home improvement or repairs, and activities with loved ones. As active as these influences tend to be, enjoying more comfort and familiarity moves to the top of your priority list. Themes related to your personal life and domestic world are strong. It's a period for making discoveries and unlocking memories, particularly on the feeling level. Candidly talking about intimate or personal matters and clearing the air can be rewarding. Surprises may be in store with your feelings and affections. You might also feel especially excited to move past an obstacle. Even handling clutter in your home can be helpful for improving your outlook, as you can feel lighter and freer. This can also play out on another level as you let go of emotional "clutter" to free space in your heart and soul for new opportunities. Finally, the Full Moon on the 27th can bring a career matter or project to fruition, stimulating much activity surrounding responsibilities or professional life, particularly if you've been so deeply involved in your personal life that you've had less time for duties to the outside world. |
LibraNovember 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Libra: More ambition, motivation, or action surrounds business affairs, material concerns, and finances in November, dear Libra. You're more inclined to go after what you want, and you expect more from others as well. With Mars and the Sun in your solar second house for the first three weeks of the month, money or resources come into your life, particularly if you actively pursue them. However, they might also seep through the cracks if you're tuning into the impulsive energy of this combination in this sector of your chart! Regardless, you have the power to make a giant leap forward with income or security in your life. Your initiative and courage enhance your earning power in direct, obvious ways. You're sometimes impatient, which may work to your advantage if you need the motivation to finally deal with a long-standing problem, but try not to take shortcuts for the most benefits now. Get-rich-quick schemes, for example, should be avoided. Financial activity, including pressures or concerns, can be the focus. Imaginative undertakings could also boost your income. Later in the month, more involvement with your immediate environment, community, and neighborhood figure strongly. Intellectual ties in existing relationships assume more importance to you than usual from the 10th. Until then, your income and natural talents get top billing. It's an excellent time for actively pursuing what you want and deserve. There is a stronger focus in your life on money matters, valuables, comfort levels, and security. With Saturn's direct turn on the 4th, you'll find it easier (or necessary) to get back on track with wellness programs or work projects. It's a time to adopt a more straightforward approach to meeting and facing your responsibilities. Learning where you stand on a matter can be a relief and can also improve planning and decision-making. Fortunately, Venus graces your sign much of November--from the 8th forward. This transit is fantastic for personal appeal and magnetism. People notice your gracious qualities. It's a sometimes indulgent time when you more frequently pamper yourself. You might discover new ways of having fun or opportunities to express yourself. You're turning heads! The pace of your everyday life slips into high gear with the Sun and Mars moving into your communications sector on the 22nd and 24th. With these influences, you actively seek out information or contacts. You're also bolder about expressing your ideas, or you take the lead in your projects or studies. While you should certainly be on the lookout for impatient or self-centered communications, it's a strong time for the confidence and courage to say what you want to say, express your ideas, and share your opinion. Venus in your sign helps out on this level, as Mars in your communications sector can harden self-expression, and Venus softens this tendency. Do watch for rushing, but tune in to your initiative. Energetic work on your studies or a personal project can be in the spotlight. Verbal conflicts are possible now, but some clearing of the air of the mindful variety may be just what you need. You might strengthen your connections with relatives, friends, and acquaintances through shows of support and positive actions. Influences now excite your passions towards a personal interest or learning endeavor. Conversations can be notably stimulating. The last week of the month can bring adventure, legal, transportation, or educational matters to your attention. There may be a sudden desire to polish your skills or advance your education. The Full Moon on the 27th falls in harmony with your sign, suggesting that the discoveries and lessons of this lunation are easier on you than many others. It can be a time for awakening to true feelings about a course of study or project, which can propel you in a new direction or reinforce your commitment to a path you're already on. It's a call to expand your interests and experiences, particularly if you've been too focused on your personal life. |
ScorpioHoroscope Overview for November 2023 for Scorpio: You begin November with a personally busy theme, dear Scorpio. The Sun and Mars stay in your sign until the 22nd and 24th, respectively, pointing to over three weeks of personal dynamism and energy. Mercury is also your guest until the 10th, and you're speaking up more often, after which your thinking is practical and focused on getting results. The first three weeks of the month, especially, find you more assertive and active than usual, as you take less time thinking about what you want to do and more time doing it! You could be the go-to person for information and know-how. November also brings good energy for reinventing yourself, especially after the New Moon in Scorpio on the 13th. It's a good time for updating your personal presentation, as well as envisioning what you'd like to make of the year ahead. Your initiative is stronger than usual, and your taste for the new and untested is powerful. You dare to try something new or approach your life in a new and unique way. There can be a breakthrough, whether in method or attitude, relative to your career, responsibilities, long-term plans, or reputation. Not long after the New Moon in your sign, the Sun and Mars meet, pointing to increased courage and energy, or, if you're not careful, childishness or impatience! It's best to be as self-aware as possible to benefit from this transit. Observe what's happening around you and what you feel so that if you need to make quick decisions, you'll be in the right headspace. Confidence is attractive; impatience leads to poor choices. Another headline is Saturn's direct turn in your romance and creativity sector on the 4th, helping clarify matters related to romance, arts, and entertainment. While it comes just before Venus goes undercover in your solar chart, meaning you're not yet ready to share your love spontaneously, it's an empowering move. Don't be surprised if you experience strong instincts to narrow in on particular goals and projects, as it's an excellent time to cut out the fluff. Still, you're keeping some things to yourself: From the 8th forward, you can be somewhat past-focused, reflective, or private about your feelings, love life, and pleasures. You give more of your time and energy to care for someone, or you play a waiting game in love. For love or pleasure, it's a temporarily down-low period. You are attracted to the hidden elements of life, finding inner beauty most magical. You appreciate some level of solitude now. As the month progresses, you're more and more interested in matters related to comfort, security, money, and stability. First, Mercury heads into your sector of resources and security on the 10th, and then the Sun on the 22nd, and finally, Mars on the 24th. This can be a time of enjoying the moment but also feathering your nest. Whatever you're building now, whether a business, home, or relationship, you are in a good position to pay special attention to it. You're bringing more of your personality, muscle, and intelligence to current projects. Your desire for comfort or luxury items can also be in the spotlight. You are looking at your money and possessions in a whole new way, and you might come up with creative ideas on how to earn more or use what you already have. You're seeking more independence with money. The last week of November can be particularly suitable for money-making projects, starting budgets or savings programs, or committing to developing your talents. Aim to be as self-aware as possible now to avoid letting impatience drive your decisions. Business matters get more of your attention and might require action. It can be a good period for earning some praise or admiration for your creative talents. The Full Moon on the 27th can bring unpaid debts and power dynamics to a head. It's a time to empower yourself through managing material and emotional debts. |
SagittariusNovember 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Sagittarius: You begin the month with several personal planets in the sign behind yours, dear Sagittarius. Two of these, the Sun and Mars, stay there until the 22nd and 24th, respectively. These point to a generally low-key, under-the-radar period. There may be a lot going on behind the scenes, and you are wrapping something up or keeping something under wraps! As such, the first few weeks of November favor personal introspection and alone time. You may often act independently instead of going along with the flow and blending in. Find opportunities to recharge. It's a time to see things you've missed, reflect on the past year, and envision how you'd like to proceed in the future. For best results, communicate, but avoid publicizing ideas until you are entirely clear about them. However, you're moving into a personally powerful, active, energetic, and effective period. You're turning over a new leaf in the last week of November. After a period of living in the relative backwoods, you are ready to share yourself with a bigger audience once cosmic bodies begin entering your sign, one by one. Mercury, the Sun, and Mars enter Sagittarius on the 10th, 22nd, and 24th, and you emerge from a period of emotional renewal. Until then, much is going on behind the scenes. You keep your emotional distance and a low profile. Major decision-making may be deferred until you feel more confident later in the month. Desires are complex and difficult to fulfill, or you could struggle with whether you should go after them. Private and past matters assume considerable importance in your life. You also need extra time to sort things out and avoid overload or burnout. It's a natural time of year for some level of repose, and this year, you have both the Sun and Mars needing a timeout, so the need to take things easy is even more prominent than usual. It's not an ideal time for brand-new beginnings, but it's beneficial for healing and peaceful activities. Living arrangements and conditions are clearer after Saturn turns direct on the 4th. Organizing your personal life is in fabulous favor. Facing your responsibilities realistically puts you in a solid position to manage them. Aim to take things gradually and enjoy bringing more order and security to your personal space and inner world. While there is quite a bit of attention to your private life or inner world, you're speaking a lot more from the 10th, and social engagements or invitations are not absent, either, from the 8th forward. In fact, friends and group associations can be highly beneficial. Camaraderie is vital for your frame of mind and well-being. This is also a good time for instinctively knowing when to relax and enjoy yourself. Notable, happy moments with friends can figure strongly. As such, you tend to move in and out of a need for outside contact in November. You're more assertive as the month advances, and emerging opportunities are clearer and more straightforward. Personal magnetism skyrockets. You are considerably more energetic, passionate, and willful. Certainly, you may need to watch for excessive yang energy now, but with impatience kept in check, you can have an easy time going after what you want. Your confident, direct approach to the world is winning. Solo efforts can be formidable, and projects that require independence, initiative, and a pioneering spirit can benefit most now. The ball is in your court in most ways. The last week of the month brings more energy for personal plans and a resurgence of vitality. You are looking to improve and pioneer. It's also a time for improvising and enjoying yourself as you do. Still, emotions run high around the Full Moon on the 27th, which brings a personal epiphany and relationship drama into your life. |
CapricornNovember 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Capricorn: Your social life is busier or more relevant this month, dear Capricorn, and there's a stronger focus on personal happiness goals. It can be a notable month for networking, friendships, and special projects or activities, although the pace changes later in November. For best results in the first three weeks of the month, especially, think in terms of the team or group, as this is where opportunities lie right now. You could find yourself in high demand, but a growing theme of more attention to rest, recuperation, and downtime emerges as the month advances. Later November, besides the natural winding down of your social focus, can bring some attractive romantic or creative opportunities. Until then, increased contact with friends and involvement with groups are likely, and while minor challenges are possible, you should enjoy more engaging interactions. It's a time to connect, chat, mingle, or network. You're more willing than usual to see the positive of any given situation. Good news, contacts, and conversations can lift your spirits. You are well-positioned to brainstorm, team up, collaborate, and share ideas and plans, perhaps making them better or simply enjoying the process. From the 8th forward, your appeal on professional or public levels is excellent. Venus is in a sign that it rules at the top of your solar chart, enhancing your reputation and enjoyment of work or responsibilities, and it may bring social opportunities through your work. This is not as much a personally popular transit as it is a professional one, but you have other influences gunning for you personally this month. It doesn't hurt, though, to pay extra attention to your sensitivity and warmth meters in your personal relationships since the planets pushing for you are not as polished or warm. Relationships with friends or groups can be lively. There could be an emphasis on leading a group or increased activities with friends. You could be more actively contributing or participating. Extra energy poured into networking and connecting or initiating in your social or love life is possible in the first few weeks of the month. You are not particularly satisfied with ordinary activities, and you're inclined to look for something inspiring to keep your interest. Especially in the week following the New Moon on the 13th, you are motivated to improve, change, or accelerate your friendships and special projects. Saturn's direct turn this month can produce a reality check or a reminder of your need to organize or take care of your daily affairs. More structure to your communications, studies, and connections to others can benefit you greatly. Procrastination is costly, and as you meet your goals and responsibilities more promptly, you feel more energetic and confident. With Mercury in your privacy sector from the 10th forward, there can be some rumination or indecision. You might work on projects behind the scenes or wrap up certain studies or ventures. From the 22nd and the 24th, you have the Sun and Mars moving into your privacy sector, and it's an important time for getting extra rest and laying low. You're going within for answers and support more often now. The focus is on physical and spiritual replenishment. While others may find you a little distant at times, they must understand that you've earned time to focus on your emotional needs and digest or process the events of the year behind you. It's a good time to review the past, as well as the sacrifices you are making in the present. Do your best not to push yourself hard, as this is a natural time of year for backing up or pulling back a little to gain some perspective and focus on emotional health. Themes now and continuing into the first half of December are renewal, healing, release, and preparation for new beginnings. Seek out extra rest and time to yourself for a recharge! But around the Full Moon on the 27th, issues surrounding work, service, or health matters deserve special attention. There could be a bit of a scramble to meet deadlines or deal with chores and duties. Pay attention to what's pushing your buttons at this time, as it can be very revealing. You could identify what's caused you so much stress that it's interfered with your work-life balance. |
AquariusNovember 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aquarius: You're more forthright with expressing and asserting yourself in November, dear Aquarius, and you can be especially goal-oriented and focused on the long term. Growing themes of social and cultural focus move into your life as the month advances. You're inclined to keep up appearances with the rest of the world with a higher concentration of energy in your solar sector of career, goals, responsibilities, and reputation as you begin November. It's a time of year for extra attention to your objectives and the rules! You are extraordinarily resourceful, and there can be referrals or support from parents, bosses, people in authority, or associates. Still, with Venus in your solar ninth house most of the month (from the 8th forward), you're in a great position to enjoy new, non-routine experiences, information, places, and faces. You have a taste for something different, particularly with love, your social life, pleasures, and pastimes. Connecting with groups, special topics, or like-minded people can invigorate you. As such, there is much openness to new ideas and methods. But with the Sun and Mars at the top of your chart until the 22nd and 24th, you're paying particular attention to responsibilities, duties, management or leadership, career, public life, and reputation. Ambitious themes often dominate the first three weeks. Your desire to win and succeed comes to the fore. You're on display or under scrutiny, but you're also ready to take charge of the direction your life is moving. You're more accountable than usual, and it's also one of the stronger times of the year for reward, visibility, and recognition. Your performance is in the spotlight, making a huge impact, especially around the 13th to the 16th. Activity increases involving career, reputation, or relationships with parents and authority figures. You have a desire to do things your way, or you're showing a more confident, braver, and bolder image to others. Besides the confidence boost of Saturn's direct turn on the 4th, money matters should steadily improve or clarify. It's a good time to focus on firming up your budget, evaluating business projects, paring down excess to make yourself more secure, and paying particular attention to your practical affairs. There is a distinct move from a business or life-path frame of mind to a social focus as November progresses. Friendships and group connections are lively. Unusual turns of events can occur that keep life exciting. It's vital to be flexible and open-minded now, as you have much to learn from and through others, even impersonal connections made in later November. Mercury moves into your social sector on the 10th, and the Sun and Mars head there on the 22nd and 24th. With these shifts, there can be an increased focus on humanitarian activities and personal happiness goals. At the same time, ambitions and competitiveness in your social life can be themes. The need to lead is high, but you also depend on others to reach your goals, or teamwork is essential to your success. For some of you, this can be a time of taking a courageous step in your social life. Collaborations can work well, but there is a definite need for more than just talk — you crave activity, movement, and say regarding achieving your goals. Alternatively, you experience a sudden rush of courage and motivation to work on an ambitious venture or ready a project for a launch. Problematic relationships with children or a romantic partner can get extra attention around the Full Moon on the 27th, or you can feel stuck between two alternatives. There could be an ultimatum, a new opportunity arising, or a romantic revelation with this lunation occurring in your sector of joy. Feelings are full and rich and hard to ignore! |
PiscesNovember 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Pisces: The desire for a break from your usual routine is strong in November, dear Pisces. Mind-expanding experiences or adventures are appealing. It's also a strong month for clearing up matters related to shared finances or other forms of support. You are more enthusiastic than you have been, and your self-confidence is natural and easy in November. Your interest in the world beyond your usual boundaries expands, and opportunities to enjoy different settings or studies and topics can emerge. You want to be free to explore, discover, and be spontaneous in the first three weeks of the month. Leaving your options open makes sense now. Still, it's a good time for willful actions – taking the initiative, innovating, and getting going – without too many obstacles in your path. You also feel freer to assert your desires and go after what you want. This can be a time for a change of routine, moving outside your usual comfort zone, and exploring different ideas. You are dynamic and engaged, although possibly a little impulsive at times in November. You could be standing for your ideas or stating your case, and you crave more experiences. You can get the courage to pursue a coveted goal. People want to be around you and catch some of the good vibes. You are inclined to be more philosophical, and sharing ideas and experiences with others can be fulfilling. Watch for seeking instant gratification, which can distract you from genuine desires and needs. Venus, however, spends the 8th of the month forward in your intimacy sector, and when it comes to matters of the heart and personal pleasures, you're taking things to heart or more seriously. So, while you're seeking more freedom in general, love matters are different! It can be a time of greater attachment, whether this is a person, a memory of a relationship, or a project you are in love with! It brings good energy for negotiating a deal, a fairer agreement, or a loan. The pace of your life changes as the month advances, especially after the 22nd when responsibilities to your career or business call. But this theme begins in some ways from the 10th onward, when you're in a good position to plan out your goals, work, or long-term propositions. You're heard--your words have added punch, so use this energy wisely! The Sun and Mars enter your career and reputation sector on the 22nd and the 24th, respectively, and there can be a rush of activity and attention to your career, life path, ambition, public standing, or reputation. You're not content to only think about or plan out these matters — you want to take action and take charge now! This sector also rules your relationships with parents, bosses, or other authority figures. Aim to be courageous and commanding, but watch for impulsiveness or ego issues that could obstruct opportunities to grow and advance. It can be a very good time for tackling ambitious projects, working tirelessly toward a project launch, or taking charge and managing your life in a more hands-on way. Also this month, Saturn turns direct in your sign after many months of retrograde motion, helping fuel your confidence, not in a flashy way but through facing reality and feeling clearer. You're in good shape for specific health pursuits to resume or begin. Your determination to move things forward increases, but patience and steady pacing suit you best. Responsibilities and problems can undoubtedly magnify in your mind, but this is an empowering shift for realism, clarity, and self-discipline. The Full Moon on the 27th can prompt more attention to your personal life, family, or needs for quiet, safety, and familiarity. Be sure to recharge so that you can give other areas of life your best. |
