Your November 2021 Horoscopes Are Here!

Happy happy November!

Change is rarely easy, even when it’s necessary. Get ready to face the music this Thursday, November 4, as the year’s only new moon in Scorpio pushes you out of the frying pan and into the transformational fire. No more stalling and no more excuses! Something’s gotta give—or maybe it needs to go, in order to create space for new opportunity to flow in. With metamorphic Uranus in Taurus landing at a challenging opposition to the new moon, drill down to the root cause of the issue and devise long-lasting solutions.

One day after the new moon, on Friday, strategic Mercury sweeps into Scorpio, supporting the new moon’s alchemy until November 24. Friday also brings the start of a seismic cycle that will last into 2022. Venus, the planet of love, seduction and beauty, starts talking serious business in Capricorn.

Aries

Turn up the heat, Ram. Until November 21, the Sun is burning through Scorpio, your eighth house of intensity, power and joint ventures. The sexy, sultry vibes can get overwhelming at moments, especially with one particular person. Need to channel them into a few outlets? The first three weeks of the month are great for focused and strategic work like strengthening your long-term wealth and solidifying close partnerships, both personal and professional. 

Making power moves is green-lighted now that four of the six slow-moving retrograde planets that shaped September and October are back to direct (forward) motion. You’re ready to take action—and ready or not, change is probably inevitable! Eclipse season begins this month with the first of 2021’s final two eclipses, this one starting off a new series on the Taurus/Scorpio axis that will reshape your approach to money, work, intimacy and investments between now and October 2023.

On November 21, the Sun enters Sagittarius and your ninth house of travel and adventure, widening your perspective. You’re eager to break free from Scorpio season’s emotional and psychological intensity. Think big, Aries, and get ready to take a leap of faith before the year ends!

If you’re observing the Thanksgiving weekend or kicking off the holiday season, it begins with a festive Leo moon in your fifth house of play and pleasure. But mind your wallet since the moon will be at odds with unpredictable Uranus in your finance zone AND with cautious Saturn in your friendship house. Instead of blowing your budget buying presents for everyone, organize a Secret Santa, where everyone gifts one other person, to keep things merry but manageable for your crew.

The Sun is in Scorpio until November 21, a time to dive deep

Got the urge to (sub)merge? Until November 21, the Sun is in Scorpio and your eighth house of intimacy, privacy and shared resources. You could slip off the grid—perhaps with an all-consuming project or a sexy plus-one.

Whatever (and whoever) has your attention in its grips will demand that you stay in “focus mode.” Scorpio season is a favorable month for deeper inner work, something on-the-go Aries don’t always slow down for—but when you do, the stress-relieving benefits are tremendous. A little time in the cocoon helps you process emotions and experiences that have been building up this year. Get into a meditation practice or pick up a copy of The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron and do the “morning pages” practice.

Another reason to put a soul-soothing mindfulness practice in place? All month long, your ruling planet, Mars, is also in Scorpio, adding stress and excitement in equal measure. Mars here can ratchet up jealousy and competitiveness as much as it cranks up the heat, especially as it travels with the competitive Sun. You may feel the pressure of a large expense, or you could be motivated to make a bold investment that promises to deliver great returns if you play your cards right. 

The eighth house is the most erotic and connective zone of the chart, and November could serve up sizzling and seductive moments. Joint business ventures could also be on the table now since the eighth house rules “other people’s money.” From whittling down debt to investing in real estate to making your money work harder for you, ‘tis the season to get your budget balanced—especially before holiday-season shopping.

The November 4 Scorpio new moon sparks potent connections

The “come together” synergy of Scorpio season is especially potent at the November 4 Scorpio new moon, which opens the door to strategic alliances. Sensing that someone has soulmate potential? This lunation paves a new six-month path to greater intimacy and closeness. For longtime couples, it could spark talk of an engagement, pregnancy or merging your lives in another significant way. Take your time and let the bond develop.

A blaring interruption could invade your cocoon, however, because this new moon will sit opposite disruptive Uranus, which is in Taurus and your second house of money, work and daily routines. Mundane matters and responsibilities could throw unexpected curveball demands. An exciting partnership, for example, might hit a speed bump when you realize that you’re not on the same financial page (or standing) or that your lifestyles and schedules don’t gel easily. If this seems worth it for the long haul, see if you can’t work through those differences now. Watch for temper flareups and erratic behavior from people today as egos could run amok, particularly at work. 

Mars squares Saturn on November 10

Slow down or speed up? When hasty Mars crashes into cautious Saturn on November 10 in a challenging square, you could feel torn between dueling needs for control and collaboration. How much power should you distribute democratically and how much should you keep for yourself? It’s great to be equitable, but only if everyone is pulling their weight. Tension could increase due to a lack of leadership—and you may need to establish who’s in charge of what area if you want to get things done! 

If you’ve been waiting for an answer from a key decision maker, keep practicing the art of patience (not an Aries specialty). That said, feel free to be strategic and come up with some savvy workarounds. If people’s lives are being put on hold because of one person’s inability to say yes or no, maybe you can bust through the invisible barrier and get things rolling. A Mars-Saturn square can feel like having one foot on the gas and the other on the brake. It could take a lot of effort to move the needle even a little. But in a few days, this WILL pass.

The November 15 Sun-Jupiter square interrupts your bubble

Need to improve team morale after the Mars-Saturn square? Pull yourself out of that Scorpio-season cocoon on November 15, when the Sun makes its semiannual square to expansive Jupiter, which is in Aquarius and your eleventh house of group activity. Make sure egos aren’t running amok on a team project. Check in with your people. Is everyone clear on their marching orders and aligned on expectations? A friend may need some quality time or you could have a social event to attend. Maybe it’s a long-overdue Zoom check-in with colleagues; perhaps it’s a gathering. Even if you’re not feeling it, make an appearance. Your presence could be the “crew glue” that cements your bond again.

Eclipse season begins with the Taurus full moon on November 19

Ready for a whole new financial chapter to begin? On November 19, the Taurus full moon arrives dressed as a lunar eclipse, the first in a brand-new series of eclipses that will ripple across the Taurus/Scorpio axis between now and October 2023. Your approach to spending, saving and investing will get a major overhaul over the coming two years.

This particular eclipse will lock into a tight square with expansive Jupiter, forcing you to examine the ways you handle money in group settings. Perhaps you’ve been putting on a front to make others think you’re doing better than you are. Maybe a team project is draining your reserves and you need to get real. At a lunar eclipse, hidden information can be exposed out of the blue. While any sudden money news can be jarring, it can also force you to powerfully address something you’ve avoided, ultimately ushering you onto a firmer fiscal footing.

A financial matter you’ve been working on for the past six months could resolve at this full moon, hopefully with a prosperous and happy outcome. If you’ve been hunting for a job or a new source of income, these moonbeams can light the way. Ready to kick a bad habit before the holidays? With la luna in your house of daily routines, you can swap self-defeating patterns for regimens that boost your vitality.

Mars-Uranus opposition on November 17

Keep a handle on your budget—and your emotions—during the November 17 opposition between passionate Mars in your eighth house of merging and volatile Uranus, which is in Taurus and your second house of work, money and self-worth. Finances could become a topic of animated debate, or you may have to confront some deep-seated insecurities that cause you to act (and react) in knee-jerk ways. Your emotions can be inflammatory. An attraction could move swiftly into physical terrain without any consideration of the possible consequences. With Mars here, a joint business venture can rapidly develop, and you might explore ways to merge your superpowers for mutual gain. But take your time starting out and let the erratic Mars-Uranus energy pass before you ink anything official, Aries!

Sagittarius season starts November 21

Perspective returns—refreshingly—starting November 21, when the Sun soars into Sagittarius and heats up your ninth house of travel, adventure and growth. For the next month, go wide instead of deep. Explore all the enticing opportunities that pop up to stretch beyond your comfort zone. You can narrow down your choices later. For now, the idea is to think (and dream) big! When the Sun meets up with communicator Mercury on November 28, you could score a chance to pitch one of your grand ideas or have a breakthrough conversation where you can truly be honest. What a relief!

Taurus

November is a huge turning point for you, Taurus. You could potentially pivot your entire trajectory or at least take the first bold steps in that direction. On November 19, a brand-new, life-changing eclipse series begins on the Taurus/Scorpio axis. Over the next two years, these lunar events will radically reshuffle everything from your identity to your appearance to your closest relationships.

This full moon will also kick off eclipse season, marking the first of 2021’s two final eclipses and ushering in the opportunity to recalibrate your personal goals and relationships. Those dynamic duos, in fact, are a key theme of November as the Sun travels through Scorpio and Sagittarius, heating up the two most partnership-driven zones of your chart all month. Use this November to explore new synergies or to work through any disagreements and get back on the same page.

If you’ve been on the fence about a key decision, you could finally feel comfortable moving ahead. Four of the six planets that were retrograde and thwarted forward motion in September and October are finally direct (forward), helping you confidently choose where to put your energy. There’s nothing worse than being in limbo for you, Taurus. Your practical sign likes to define your target and move decisively toward it. But don’t barrel ahead at warp speed! Changemaker Uranus is still retrograde in your sign until January 18, 2022. Weigh your options and test-drive a few before you fully commit.

The Sun is in Scorpio until November 21

Until November 21, the Sun will be in Scorpio and your partnership zone, helping you balance your current bonds and give budding ones serious consideration. You might decide to move toward a more official status with someone, either professionally or romantically. And with energizer Mars in Scorpio all month, it could happen fast! 

Partnerships could be a source of both excitement and stress now. If you’ve been shouldering too much of the load by yourself, this is a great month to start sharing the burden with a capable cohort. Scorpio is your opposite sign, and with the Sun at its farthest point on the zodiac wheel from yours, your “solar power” could be a little depleted. That’s the perfect reason to lean on others instead of always being the rock and provider. 
Ask for what you need, Taurus, and others will be happy to pull their weight. Just don’t expect them to read your mind. This is especially true on November 15, when the Sun makes its semiannual square to expansive Jupiter in your career and long-term-planning zone. As much as you may feel aligned with someone, check to see that you have common goals for the future. If you don’t, this is a good day to talk about it openly, even if it feels uncomfortable.

The November 4 Scorpio new moon enlivens partnerships

At the November 4 Scorpio new moon, you could pair up with someone for business or pleasure, making your status official—or head in that direction in the coming weeks. A person you meet near this date could turn into a major collaborator between now and the May 2022 Scorpio full moon. 

But no dynamic duo will take flight at the expense of your individuality, Bull! This new moon will stand opposite liberated Uranus in Taurus and your first house of identity and solo ventures. Any relationship will have to give you plenty of breathing room and the space to express your uniqueness. Don’t rush in, either. With changemaker Uranus shaking up your entire self-concept and bringing rapid fluctuations to your lifestyle, committing won’t be the path to instant security. You’ve still got to do the work of figuring out who YOU are and what you’re all about.

Mars squares Saturn on November 10

Make it official…wait, no, don’t! On November 10, impatient Mars in your partnership house will form a frustrating square to cautious Saturn in Aquarius and your career zone. The effect is like having one foot on the gas and the other on the brake. As much as you want to rush a contract or commitment past the finish line, you’ll likely have to deal with some bureaucratic requirements that can’t be avoided. Roll up your sleeves and handle those responsibilities, whether that’s filling out annoying paperwork, providing a list of references or just being patient with the other person’s timeline. There’s no cutting corners allowed, Taurus, nor can you outsource this whole gig. The silver lining? You’ll build trust and lay a solid foundation by doing everything with impeccable integrity.   

Eclipse season begins with the Taurus full moon on November 19

A power surge arrives on November 19, when the year’s only Taurus full moon, also a potent lunar eclipse, brings your birthday wishes to full bloom! Look back to plans and goals hatched near your last birthday. Some of those personal passions could come together now. Or maybe it’s time to get serious about making them really big! 

This is a HUGE day because it’s the inaugural eclipse in a series that will touch down on the Taurus/Scorpio axis between now and October 2023. These eclipses will radically recalibrate the balance between “me” and “we,” giving your identity AND your closest partnerships a bold makeover. In Taurus, this first lunar eclipse will spotlight any parts of your life where you’re not being your truest and most original self. Don’t be surprised if your ideas start attracting attention out of the blue. You might get the urge to make over your whole look, experimenting with a new hair color or style. 

Mars-Uranus opposition on November 17

From October 30 to December 13, passionate and aggressive Mars is zooming through your opposite sign of Scorpio, activating your partnership house. While this can certainly put budding relationships on the fast track, November 17 will feature a heated opposition between Mars and volatile Uranus in Taurus. Tempers and reactions can be hair-trigger today, and with liberated Uranus in your sign, you could flip out if anyone backs you into a corner. Unfortunately, they just might try that. 

Do you feel pressured to commit to a contract or relationship? That will send you fleeing for freedom. While you’re normally the one who wants to lock things down, indie-spirited Uranus is trekking through your sign from 2018 to 2026, bringing out a new side of you. No longer do you want to carry everyone’s burden, take one for the team or be the responsible party while everyone else is having fun and pursuing their dreams. It’s YOUR turn to shine and live your authentic life, Taurus! Think through all options before you agree to anything. On the flip side, make sure you’re not being stubbornly independent to your own detriment. Sometimes, we can go farther faster when we work together. 

Sagittarius season starts November 21

You’ll have a chance to explore your deepest bonds—and examine which are truly worth the investment—starting November 21, when the Sun plunges into Sagittarius and your eighth house of merging, intimacy and shared resources. You’ll be swimming in the deeper end of the emotional pool for the next four weeks, looking at where you’re expending energy (time, attention, money…) and what you’re getting in return. No, not everything has to be a scoreboard or done for personal gain. But there are only so many hours in a day, Taurus: Why not spend them on things that bring satisfaction and security?

During Sagittarius season, you might crave more privacy, and perhaps the exclusive company of a special person who’s proven to be a loyal (and sexy!) catch. The eighth house is the most erotic zone of the chart, and a mind-body-soul connection could heat up. This zodiac zone also rules joint financial ventures. Look at ways you can pool your talents and resources for mutual gain. 

Gemini

November 2021 Gemini Overview Horoscope

Get to work, Gemini! As November begins, you’re in “taking care of business” mode, thanks to the Sun marching through Scorpio and your sixth house of health, fitness and organization. Tackle lingering tasks and administrative details. Put something clean and green on your plate—every day! Streamline your schedule, budget and commitments, cutting out the excess. This solar cycle, which lasts until November 21, could set you up to have a calm and chaos-free holiday season.

That said, eclipse season begins this month with the first of 2021’s final two eclipses, this one starting off a new series on the Taurus/Scorpio axis that will reshape your approach to healing and well-being for the next two years.

Eclipses can spark unpredictable events and plot twists, and this one might bring news of a sudden work assignment or a close person in your life who makes a sudden exit near the November 19 Taurus lunar eclipse. Maybe you’ll be the one deciding that you’re so “done” with a certain self-sabotaging pattern, and you’re ready to kick your addiction to it. Let the eclipse’s powerful beams take that pain away.

Luckily, you can proceed with confidence now that four of the six slow-moving retrograde planets that shaped September and October are back to direct (forward) motion. Bring on the change; you’re ready to face it! And when the Sun moves into Sagittarius and your partnership zone on November 21, you could have a devoted ally to help you navigate any new chapters. Dynamic duos are the Gemini way—bring ‘em on!

The Sun is in Scorpio until November 21

The Sun is in Scorpio and your sixth house of wellness, organization and helpful people until November 21. Your vitality is getting a booster shot from revitalizing Mars, which is in Scorpio and your healthy-living zone until December 13. But since pressurizer Mars can also add stress, you’ll need to be careful not to bite off more than you can chew, something that could weaken your immune system and make you accident-prone. Slow down and avoid multitasking—if you can’t handle all that you’re juggling, ask for help! 

Have your self-care routines turned into a snoozefest? Mix ‘em up! Geminis need variety. If your morning meditation no longer enlivens you or weightlifting is weighing you down, try something different. A good day to break out of any kind of rut is November 15, when the Scorpio Sun forms its semiannual square to expansive Jupiter, which is in Aquarius and your adventurous, worldly ninth house. Swing out wide and say yes to novelty, even if it interrupts your carefully crafted plans. A fresh perspective can do so much to reboot your famous Gemini creativity.

The November 4 Scorpio new moon reboots your wellness

The Scorpio new moon on November 4 signals an excellent moment to revive your fitness efforts, start eating clean or to dive into a major decluttering project (one room at a time, Gem!). This could dovetail with the release of a major stress source as the new moon directly opposes turbulent Uranus in your twelfth house of healing and endings. If a crying meltdown happens, let it! 

You may also decide to incorporate some spiritual or mind-body practices into your wellness routines. Feeling stressed? Stop trying to jam one more thing into your schedule and excuse yourself from obligations that don’t feed your soul—even if that means making a radical and quick departure. People may not understand right away, but your peace of mind is the number one priority here. Thinking about adopting a pet? There are a million health benefits to the “creature comforts” that a furry friend can provide, from reduced blood pressure to unconditional love. What Gemini couldn’t use more of that?

Mars squares Saturn on November 10

Careful not to spin into “analysis paralysis” while you’re doing that mental equation, Gemini. On November 10, intense Mars in your analytical and anxious sixth house will form a challenging square to cautious Saturn in Aquarius and your big-picture zone. You could get way too much advice or feedback, leaving you frozen in your tracks. It’s a bit like having one foot on the gas pedal (Mars) and the other on the brake (Saturn). Be careful not to be a know-it-all or a harsh critic—unless, that is, you’re prepared to accept the same in return. You may need to gather more data before moving ahead with a big project. Or if you’ve been too in your head, this square could provide a much-needed dose of perspective, even if it’s not delivered gently. There’s a much bigger world out there than the one between your ears, fascinating as that universe no doubt is!

Eclipse season begins with the Taurus full moon on November 19

On November 19, the annual Taurus full moon—which is also a potent lunar eclipse—provides the perfect setting to drop your guard and surrender control. Taurus rules your twelfth house of fantasy and healing, and this illuminating full moon eclipse will shed light on all that’s been hidden from you. But are you seeing things clearly? This realm can be both receptive AND deceptive. On the one hand, you may find yourself in a situation that humbles you and forces you to drop your defenses. But if you’ve been kidding yourself about a certain person’s true colors, prepare to see those hues in vivid Technicolor now. 

This is the first in a brand-new series of eclipses that will ripple across the Taurus/Scorpio axis between now and October 2023. Your approach to health, healing, organization and work will get an overhaul. But you’ll also get to rescript the way you deal with control. Where are you micromanaging and holding on too tightly or trying to force an outcome? These eclipses remind you that control is an illusion—and even when you think you have it, they’ll rip it right out of your hands. 

With the eclipse in your twelfth house of closure, you’ve got twice as much motivation to disengage from any struggles or write “The End” on a painful chapter of your life. Say a loving goodbye to all of that, Gemini. You can thank the universe for all the valuable lessons…then release your grip! With the eclipse squaring off against expansive Jupiter in your big-picture ninth house, you may be forced to close one door and leap into a new adventure faster than you expected. Don’t overthink it, Gemini—just roll with it! 

Mars-Uranus opposition on November 17

Had enough of a stressful situation? You could reach a breaking point on November 17, when hotheaded Mars and volatile Uranus face off in a tense opposition. You’ll be in a rip-the-bandage-off kind of mood then, ready to take bold action. Watch that your health, both physical and emotional, doesn’t take a hit. While shaking things up radically might seem like the only solution today, you could end up creating more chaos than you planned if you try to change everything at once. Now sure where to start trimming back? Begin by looking for the “energy leaks.” That could be a person on Team Gemini who’s slacking off or draining your resources. What makes you feel stressed and overwhelmed? Ask yourself if you can’t bow out of this commitment, get extra support or create a more efficient system for managing it.

Sagittarius season starts November 21

A fresh wave of relationship energy rolls in on November 21, when the Sun commences a monthlong visit to Sagittarius and your seventh house of companionship and commitments. If you put off signing contracts while Mercury was retrograde in October or your bonds hit a few speed bumps last month, get busy making amends or inking some attractive deals! You might sign a partnership agreement in the next four weeks, too, cementing an official arrangement before the calendar turns. 

With the Sun in your opposite sign of Sagittarius, it’s at its farthest point in the sky from the Gemini sector of the zodiac wheel. As a result, your own “solar power” can be a bit depleted until December 21. Tap into your sign’s “twinning” nature and lean on a person who can be a supportive sidekick for the next few weeks. 

Cancer

Let’s get loud! With the Sun blazing through Scorpio and your glamorous fifth house until November 21, there’ll be no hiding in that famous shell, Crab! This fierce and flamboyant solar cycle awakens the diva within, especially at the November 4 Scorpio new moon. The holidays might be a few weeks off, but you’re cosmically entitled to the pursuit of pleasure and playful encounters. Go forth and paint the town red or indulge your imagination. Make art, make a splash, make your voice heard. Just be mindful to keep things in “healthy drama” terrain and avoid people who push your buttons and provoke knee-jerk reactions.

On top of that, eclipse season begins this month with the first of 2021’s final two eclipses, this one starting off a new series on the Taurus/Scorpio axis that will reshape your entire approach to romance, friendship and creativity over the next two years. By October 2023, you could have an entirely new inner circle, or you might become part of a super-squad that thinks outside the box in the same ways you do.

Moving forward will be easier now that four of the six retrograde planets that slowed things down in September and October are in direct (forward) motion again. You should be thinking and speaking more clearly now! When the Sun enters Sagittarius and your healthy, organized sixth house for a month on November 21, you’ll be ready to get a jump-start on those 2022 resolutions. Until then, enjoy living life moment by moment, savoring all the joy you can experience. 

The Sun is in Scorpio until November 21

Fall is getting fierce—and showing all its colors. With the Sun cruising through Scorpio and your dazzling fifth house until November 21, passion is running high. The fifth house rules love, creativity and self-expression, and with the bold Sun here, your shell will be cracked wide open. Since an extra layer of intensity could blanket everything, try to keep a handle on your moods and reactions, especially if you get triggered by all the changes or fast-moving energy. (Cancers, though adventurous, aren’t fans of things being sprung on them without notice.) 

On the plus side, since the fifth house rules art and amour, you could enjoy a fall romance or a surge of creative inspiration. All the more so because from October 30 to December 13, lusty Mars is also in Scorpio, heating up the holidays to peak temperatures (even if there’s frost on the windows). Don’t be surprised if you start turning heads and become the most-wanted under the mistletoe. Your festive and flirty side is out in full force for all month!

Passion awakens at the November 4 Scorpio new moon 

The November 4 Scorpio new moon opens a six-month window for new (or deepening) love or an exciting creative project. As these moonbeams spark your heart-centered fifth house, you’re called to connect with your desires and dreams. What truly excites you, Crab? Artists, musicians and performers especially should seize this date for an album drop, gallery opening or to start working on your craft in earnest. Be your fiercest and flirtiest self today and you could attract an admirer or three. Whether it turns into something romantic or just a kindred-spirit spark, what’s most important is that you let your authentic self emanate—big and bold! The people who are drawn to you when you’re being raw and real are the ones you ultimately want around.

With the Scorpio new moon opposing quirky Uranus in your iconoclastic eleventh house, your inner rebel will show up at the party anyhow. Fly your freedom flag and watch what happens. For coupled Cancerians, this new moon opposing liberated Uranus could set off a bout of “grass is greener” syndrome, and your eye might wander to other options. No harm in enjoying a little innocent banter or energy exchange with someone else—IF you bring the frisson of excitement back home to your person!

Mars squares Saturn on November 10

Drama alert! On November 10, Mars in Scorpio gets embroiled in a tricky square with tough Saturn in your eighth house of intimacy and shared finances. If you’ve been overly melodramatic, the effects can catch up with you. Have you been spending lavishly and beyond your budget? With Mars hitting the gas and Saturn slamming the brakes, it’s an ideal opportunity (however uncomfortable) for reining in your finances and putting a plan in place, especially before holiday shopping season kicks into gear.

Eclipse season begins with the Taurus full moon on November 19

Drama or detachment? Finding a balance between the two will be a major theme for the next two years, starting November 19, when the annual Taurus full moon, also a potent lunar eclipse, illuminates your eleventh house of cool-headed analysis, teamwork and friendship. 

This is the first in a brand-new series of eclipses that will ripple across the Taurus/Scorpio axis between now and October 2023, connecting you to new collaborators while also awakening your passion and helping you strike a new balance between head and heart. 

Finding a common mission can solidify your bond with a friend, business alliance or romantic partner. Speak authentically and openly (without getting emotional) about your needs. You may find that this calmer approach wins you a much more receptive audience. Make sure to listen to what THEY want too. Remember, it’s a conversation—and with the right balance of flexibility and firmness, you can potentially find a solution that works for everyone.

If you’ve been obsessing over a complicated love connection, hanging out with your crew could restore perspective. Remember that life and identity you have outside of this person, Cancer? Get back to it! With this eclipse locking into a tense square to expansive Jupiter in your intimate eighth house, keep an open mind about potential partnerships, both business and personal. There are plenty of options out there, Crab—so widen your viewfinder. Perhaps your next great connection is even in your social circle.

Mars-Uranus opposition on November 17

There’s a fine line between fun and frenetic, and it runs dangerously thin today, Crab. Watch that you don’t have a little TOO much free-range activity at the November 17 Mars-Uranus opposition, a day when tempers can be volatile and moods can quickly turn combative. Things could get loud at a party, for example, and escalate into a fight, especially if people have been drinking. Pace yourself if you decide to partake in the libations. Friends may be dramatic, pushing your buttons or bringing up triggering topics. Avoid those people and conversations, at least for today.

Sagittarius season starts November 21

Healthy living will be the best route to pursue once Sagittarius season begins on November 21, launching the Sun’s monthlong visit to your sixth house of wellness and work. Although Mars in Scorpio will definitely ramp up your hedonistic side until mid-December, these disciplined sixth-house vibes help you stay balanced as cocktail-and-cookie season rolls around. Hosting or attending a gathering? Try to incorporate more veg-friendly recipes into any celebrations. Who says your feast has to end in a food coma?

Leo

Sink a little deeper into those sofa cushions, Leo. The Sun is in Scorpio and your domestic fourth house until November 21, your annual time for nesting and resting at home base. Slow your pace, skip a few parties and curl up with a mug of turmeric tea or a good book. Focus on home improvements; peruse interior design blogs. Try out some new recipes or invite loved ones over for cozy hangs and nostalgic reminiscing.

But don’t get so hunkered down that you become stagnant Leo! Frankly, that won’t even be an option under this month’s starmap. Even if you have cozy slippers on your feet, you’ll still want to keep a pair of ready-for-business shoes by the door. With four of the six retrograde planets from September and October now direct (forward), stalled projects and opportunities could regain momentum.

Change is also in the air starting November 19, when the Taurus full moon kicks off eclipse season, sweeping through your tenth house of career, success and public image. This is the first of 2021’s final two eclipses, as well as the first installment of a new eclipse series on the Taurus/Scorpio axis that will reshape your work-life balance between now and October 2023.

When the Sun starts its monthlong foray into Sagittarius on November 21, you’re ready to make another grand debut. With your festive and flamboyant fifth house lit up, you’ll rouse from your Scorpio season hibernation ready to get the holidays started in your signature Leo style.

The Sun is in Scorpio until November 21

Your annual “nesting season” has arrived, Leo—and you’re oh-so ready for a little downtime! The Sun is in Scorpio and your fourth house of home and family until November 21, motivating you to draft your holiday gift and guest lists and start hanging decorations. Leo IS the sign of celebration, after all, so you hardly need this nudge from the stars. For you, Scorpio season is all about getting your “hygge” on—the Danish art of perfect coziness that became extra-popular in the last few years. Bring out your ambient lighting, your scented candles and the cashmere throws…then snuggle up with your favorite people!

But don’t expect to get TOO hunkered down, Leo. Energizer Mars is also in Scorpio all month (and until December 13), so your home is likely to be a hub of activity. On the plus side, you could have fun family visits or feel extra motivated to tackle a renovation or launch that “cottage industry” startup. But friction can flare just as fast under your roof. Don’t book back-to-back guests or leave yourself without personal space to decompress. Hotels and Airbnbs exist for exactly this reason.

The November 4 Scorpio new moon spotlights home and family

Touch down at base camp, Leo! The November 4 Scorpio new moon is your annual “personal day,” when your focus is divinely directed toward domestic and home-related matters. If you’re looking to move, make a property sale or expand your family, these moonbeams act in your favor, setting the stage for events that will unfold between now and the May 2022 Scorpio full moon. Perhaps you’re just feeling the urge to submerge—and to indulge in some much-needed solitude as you slip off the radar. Go ahead and bliss out in your cocoon if you can, or book a few glam treatments, since pampering always soothes the Leonine soul.

Craving quality time with the familia? Your loved ones will appreciate your undivided attention, especially if you’ve been busy. But that might not be so easy to pull off. This year, the Scorpio new moon makes an exact opposition to volatile Uranus in Taurus and your career zone. Work-life balance? Au contraire! The planet of unpredictability could throw a professional curveball into the mix. Perhaps an unforeseen project gets dropped on your desk right as you’re about to get a much-needed massage or sign a lease on a new space. Or maybe you just realize that getting proper self-care also requires you to set firm boundaries with your coworkers and clients. Since Uranus rules technology, that might mean implementing a “no emails after 8:00p.m. unless it’s an emergency” policy or logging off the social media apps and unwinding with a hot bath or a good old-fashioned book. One digital detox, coming right up!

Mars squares Saturn on November 10

On November 10, intense Mars in Scorpio and your domestic fourth house will lock into a heated square with cautious Saturn in Aquarius and your relationship house. Keep tabs on your anger, which could surge and get directed toward the nearest party before you can even stop yourself. Find an outlet—instead of a target—for all that fast-moving frustration. Has your family been meddling in your relationship? Set firm boundaries today. Maybe you’re thinking about bringing someone home for the holidays or meeting a significant other’s clan. Under the Mars-Saturn square, you may feel like you’re rushing into an emotional situation. This transit can feel like having one foot on the gas, the other on the brake. Pace yourself today so you don’t get whiplash.

Eclipse season begins with the Taurus full moon on November 19

A triumphant career moment arrives on November 19, when the year’s only Taurus full moon, also a potent lunar eclipse, beams into your successful, ambitious tenth house. A goal you’ve been working toward for the past six months could come together at last, manifesting in a promotion or a payout. Or you may decide that it’s time to move on from one path and pursue another. 

This is the first installment of a brand-new eclipse series that will thunder across the Taurus/Scorpio axis between now and October 2023, radically reshuffling your work-life balance. As these eclipses sweep through your domestic fourth house and your professional tenth house, there could be big shifts in some of the most important parts of your life: a new career path, parenthood, a change of address. Get ready for some plot twists in the coming weeks!

Tonight’s Taurus eclipse could offer a crystal-clear revelation about your big-picture mission and the next steps you can take to get there. But don’t rush to talk about it with anyone, particularly a significant other or business partner. The Sun and moon are both squaring off with expansive Jupiter in your relationship sector. Getting too much feedback now could confuse or derail you. A coworker, client or even a job could be “eclipsed” away. Should this happen, take many deep breaths and trust that this powerful, proactive lunar event has something much better planned for you.

Mars-Uranus opposition on November 17

Be especially firm with your boundaries on November 17, when Mars opposes destabilizing Uranus. You’ll be tempted to take on responsibilities that throw your life into turmoil just to save the day. That’s not the hill you want your soul to die on, Leo, so let other people figure out their own issues and problems. Same goes for work-related “emergencies” that cut into your personal time. Just say “hell no” to taking on that last-minute assignment, even if it sounds like an interesting challenge. The tension between the demands of your personal life and professional duties could tip you into overwhelm, causing you to snap. Expect the unexpected, but don’t feel that you have to respond to all of it.

Sagittarius season starts November 21

Bring on the holiday cheer! You’ll have a strong appetite for fun starting November 21, when the Sun begins its monthlong visit to Sagittarius and your fifth house of passion, play and creativity. If you’ve been cooped up at home, shuck those yoga pants and slip into something cute and head-turning. Your fierce Leo roar is back! With el Sol (your cosmic ruler) heating up your frisky fifth house, you’ll be flirty and in the mood for romance. Book those date nights and make the rounds of holiday parties with your favorite plus-one. If you start the night solo, don’t expect to end it that way. 

Virgo

There’s no slowing you down, Virgo, at least not for the first three weeks of the month. With the Sun in Scorpio and your community-minded third house until November 21, you’ve got even more on your mind than usual—from ideas and projects to your usual cornucopia of thoughts—and an equal amount to say about it. Gather (safely) with kindred spirits and new acquaintances alike. There’s no limit to what you can create when you put your heads together.

Stalled projects could pick up speed now that four of the six retrograde planets that shaped September and October (including your ruler, Mercury) have corrected course. Send a DM or an email to that intriguing contact and see where it takes you. Meet for coffee and catch up with friends you haven’t seen in a while. Conversations could quickly turn into collaborations.

Eclipse season begins this month with the first of 2021’s final two eclipses, this one starting off a new series on the Taurus/Scorpio axis that will touch down on your communication axis between now and October 2023. New opportunities to travel, connect and forge alliances could arise. Get ready to widen your viewfinder as well as your social circle, Virgo. You might relocate to a new neighborhood (or farther), the seeds of which could be planted this month.
Shift into cozy holiday mode on November 21, when Sagittarius season lights a monthlong fire in your domestic fourth house. Strings of lights, DIY decorations, handwritten cards with the requisite gushy gratitude: Your inner Virgo curator is at the ready! Bring on the crafts, the game and movie nights with a signature hot toddy recipe. As rewarding as entertaining guests may be, make sure to reserve a few nights for quality solo time to unwind. Save the blowout fiestas for New Year’s Eve and catch up on some needed self-care.

The Sun is in Scorpio until November 21

Here, there and everywhere! With the Sun in Scorpio and your social third house until November 21, you’re a multitasking maven and a whirling dervish of drive. Your calendar will be packed to the seams with events, meetings, parties and more. Vibrant conversations are what you live for, Virgo, and you can expect to have plenty of them this month. Use this time to explore new curiosities and document your great ideas. If you’re a writer or teacher, this is an excellent month for promoting your original concepts and work. Dynamic duos are favored now, so team up with a kindred spirit type on a collaborative project.

The November 4 Scorpio new moon perks up your social life

On November 4, the Scorpio new moon could spark an idea or dialogue that sets the wheels in motion. Over the next six months, a germ of a concept could turn into a viral media project or creative collaboration. Under these moonbeams, you could meet a like-minded person and decide to explore the synergy, testing your chemistry on a joint project. The third house rules neighborhoods, and this new moon could send you on a search for a community that suits your vibe or send you off to explore fresh local terrain instead of hitting the same old haunts.

This year’s Scorpio new moon will oppose unpredictable Uranus in your worldly and outspoken ninth house. You may suddenly have to travel for work—or seize an opportunity to get out of Dodge for a short getaway. While traveling may not have been in your carefully planned schedule, something truly exciting could arise if you stay open and are willing to be spontaneous. 

Watch out, though: Under this fickle moon-Uranus aspect, you might contract a case of “grass is greener” syndrome, feeling bored and cagey within your current social circle. Be careful about giving advice and opinions today since your words can easily be taken out of context. Steer clear of controversial topics unless you’re sure you know your audience—and that the people in it can handle “agreeing to disagree.”

Mars squares Saturn on November 10

Analysis paralysis alert! On November 10, Mars in your inquisitive third house will lock into a tough square with stern Saturn, which is in Aquarius and your sensible sixth house. There won’t be any skating around delivering facts and figures! The Mars-Saturn square practically ensures that authority figures and decision makers will require solid data and due diligence. Before you float one of your big ideas past a person with veto power, make sure you’ve got everything in place. Sheer enthusiasm isn’t enough to win them over, and the reality check could be painful. Otherwise, wait for a day when the conditions are more receptive. If you get constructive feedback, take it like a pro and apply it. Exude a winning attitude instead of a sense of entitlement. A Mars-Saturn square can be like having one foot on the gas, the other on the brake. Your advice for today? Don’t rush into anything, but don’t hold back too much either.

Eclipse season begins with the Taurus full moon on November 19

You’ll be able to full see the big picture on November 19, when the annual Taurus full moon, also a potent lunar eclipse, beams brightly into your ninth house of expansion and truth-telling. This day sets the stage for honest and heart-centered dialogue, so keep it real! 

This is the first installment of a brand-new Taurus/Scorpio eclipse series that will roll across your communication axis between now and October 2023. For the next two years, you could have surprising opportunities to spread your message both locally and globally. You could also explore impactful friendships or seek out new neighborhood and community outlets that draw out a different side of you.

Ready to see your name in lights? One of your ideas could bring fame or buzzworthy status—and with the full moon in your global ninth house, the reach could be worldwide. Think on a much grander scale than you may have been, Virgo. An opportunity to travel, teach or publish your work could arise. If you’re an artist, consider taking your performance or show on the road. 

Will this eclipse disrupt your carefully crafted agenda? Most likely. The Sun and moon are both squaring off against expansive Jupiter in your orderly sixth house. Big plans could be sidetracked, even derailed by whatever this eclipse shakes up. Make sure to protect your health and take all pandemic precautions if you do travel. Change, even the exciting kind, can nevertheless add stress, which weakens your immune system. Be careful not to bite off more than you can chew, even if you think you can digest it all.

Mars-Uranus opposition on November 17

Avoid touchy topics on November 17, when confrontational Mars opposes hotheaded Uranus across your communication axis. You could easily get caught in a showdown trying to make your point. While it can be hard to listen to someone with such a radically different point of view, consider that they might just be trying to get a rise out of you by pushing your buttons. Don’t feed the monster!

Sagittarius season starts November 21

Get out of your head and back into your heart starting November 21, when the Sun moves into Sagittarius and your fourth house of home, family and emotional ties for a month. You’re always the lucky recipient of this cozy energy during the start of holiday season, so get back to the business of bonding! If you’re hunting for a new nest or just sprucing your roost, Sagittarius season opens a fresh chapter in your domestic fourth house. Get busy putting up those holiday decorations and planning the festivities.

Libra

Get grounded, Libra. The Sun is in Scorpio and your stabilizing second house or work and money until November 21, turning your focus to practical matters. Work, money and settling into a routine are your top to-do items this month. Knock all those action items off your list before the holiday mingling season begins.

You could find yourself surprisingly busy now that four of the six retrograde planets that bottlenecked progress in September and October are direct (forward). Try not to get scattered. Sit down to prioritize and schedule the big “boulders” that matter most before you fill up your calendar. If possible, delegate the smaller stuff to others, or save it for later in the month.

Besides, things are likely to change even more after November 19, when the changemaking lunar eclipse arrives at the Taurus full moon. This one starts off a new series on the Taurus/Scorpio axis that will reshape your approach to money, work, intimacy and investments between now and October 2023.

You can trade work for play after November 21, when the Sun shifts gears into Sagittarius and your social third house. While a balanced Libra always makes time for fun, you’ll be glad you hustled a little harder before the holidays. The monthlong mingling and merriment of Sag season will be your well-earned reward.

The Sun is in Scorpio until November 21

The Sun is moving through Scorpio and your stabilizing second house until November 21, helping you get anchored and organized. With el Sol in this practical and productive zone, taking things one day (or hour!) at a time could be a lifesaving practice. Break big projects down into small tasks and look for ways you can be more efficient with your time, budget and habits. Keep it simple and don’t overload your schedule. The second house rules work, money and daily routines. If you’re looking to start a new regimen, you’ll get an added boost from motivator Mars, which is also in Scorpio until December 13.

The November 4 Scorpio new moon ignites money and work opportunities

Fresh financial starts are favored on November 4, when the annual Scorpio new moon kicks off a six-month chapter for productivity and prosperity. If you’re starting something new or circulating your resume, these galvanizing moonbeams will boost your efforts. Keep your ears perked for new work opportunities, clients or projects that can build your professional profile. Need to get your finances back on track? A course of action you begin today could return your balance sheet to good standing by the May 2022 Scorpio full moon.

Just watch out for unexpected expenses as this new moon will oppose unpredictable Uranus in your eighth house of mergers, lump sums and intimate ties. A person you’re entangled with, financially or romantically, could be a disruptive factor in today’s events. Perhaps you’re starting a new gig, job-hunting or trying to forge a healthy habit. There could be a curveball to dodge as you attempt to simplify and stabilize your life. Try not to let any surprises throw you off, Libra. Stay true to your values and focus on your priorities, no matter what.

Mars squares Saturn on November 10

On November 10, intensifier Mars in your stabilizing second house locks horns with structural Saturn, which is in Aquarius and your fifth house of romance and self-expression. As Mars makes a challenging square to Saturn, you might face a tough reality check or have to make some major decisions. As much as you love someone, if your lifestyles and goals don’t match up, it may feel challenging to go forward unless you’re both willing to compromise and make clear agreements. And if they do, then it could be a matter of being a little more formal about how you operate within the relationship. 

Maybe you’re not sure whether you want to keep things fun and casual or to get serious. You’ll have a chance to weigh the pros and cons today. Your timing and pacing could be off since Mars is the cosmic accelerator and Saturn is the brake. Consider all your options, but if you’re not ready to make a final call yet, that’s okay.

Mars-Uranus opposition on November 17

Money momentum…or mania? On November 17, hotheaded Mars in Scorpio and volatile Uranus in Taurus will oppose each other across your financial axis. You might have a sudden expense or unexpected bill come due, taking you by surprise. Pressure from your job or a shared endeavor could reach a breaking point. You might need to negotiate some new deadlines or level-set a person’s expectations who’s piling on the demands. Are you feeling stuck in a rut at work, ready to join the Great Resignation and quit? While this impulsive Mars-Uranus face-off can tempt you to act rashly, any sudden moves are likely to be regrettable—unless you’re truly ready to rip the bandage off and take that leap into the wild unknown.

Eclipse season begins with the Taurus full moon on November 19

An intense moment of reckoning arrives on November 19, when the year’s only Taurus full moon, also a potent lunar eclipse, lands in your eighth house of intimacy, merging and transformation. Ready to shed some layers and emerge a more powerful version of you? These moonbeams light the way. This full moon could also bring some kind of financial windfall, such as a loan, an inheritance or a commission. But be careful about mixing money with family. This eclipse will get snagged in a tense square to generous Jupiter in Aquarius and your pleasure palace, tempting you to play Santa Claus at your own expense by treating yourself extravagantly (not that you’re not worth it!) or shopping for gifts that are a little beyond your pay grade. Have you been swinging between feast and famine, hedonism and self-deprivation? This eclipse can help you make sounder financial choices while you still enjoy your Libra luxuries.

No need to figure that all out in one sitting. This is the inaugural eclipse in a series that will activate the Taurus/Scorpio axis several times between now and October 2023. Over the next two years, get ready to discover some unexpected sources of income and investments, and for some Libras to completely overhaul your approach to money, property, joint ventures and how you earn your living.

Sagittarius season starts November 21

Don’t forget your number one superpower: the gift of gab! On November 21, the Sun soars into Sagittarius and your third house of communication, setting off a super-social four-week cycle. Work the parties and chat up the intriguing people you meet. By sharing what you do and asking about their plans and projects, you could discover a few exciting synergies. If you’re RSVP’ing yes to every Paperless Post and Eventbrite invitation to land in your inbox, pause to make sure you’re taking all the needed pandemic precautions. Pick and choose carefully this year! 

Scorpio

It’s showtime, Scorpio! The Sun is blazing a fiery trail through your sign until November 21, putting your desires and passion projects front and center. Enough focusing on other people—this month is prime time to prioritize numero uno. With your co-ruler, passionate and actionable Mars, also in Scorpio until December 13, you’re extra fired up to pursue your goals.

And you’ll have cosmic support to pick up the pace because four of the six retrograde planets that stalled your big ideas in September and October have corrected course. With these heavenly bodies sprinting forward in direct (forward) motion, don’t be surprised if AWOL collaborators and contacts start reappearing in your DMs and inbox.

But wait…there’s more! On November 19, the Taurus full moon kicks off a two-year eclipse series that will rumble across the Taurus/Scorpio axis between now and October 2023. Get ready for some extreme makeover activity to your identity, relationships and the balance between “me” and “we.”

When Sagittarius season begins on November 21, the Sun will blast into your grounded and security-minded second house. Your focus will shift to practical matters before the holiday season, like wrapping up work and minding your money. But don’t worry, Scorpio: This four-week cycle will end on December 21, promising a social finale to the calendar year. All the more reason to lean into this productive transit so you can clear your calendar for fun and celebration as you ring in 2022.

The Sun is in Scorpio until November 21

It’s Scorpio season—and this year, it’s really your time to shine! Until November 21, the Sun is in Scorpio, giving you cosmic license to prioritize your personal path and passions. With catalyzer Mars also in Scorpio for the entire time (and through December 13), there’s rocket fuel in your tank. Take advantage: Mars only visits your sign every two years. You’ll have confidence and charisma to spare. But be careful because you can also get easily stressed out and snappish before you realize it, especially when life feels like it’s coming at you a little too fast. 

The November 4 Scorpio new moon is your personal new yearAll fresh starts are favored on November 4, when the year’s only Scorpio new moon arrives, marking your astrological new year. This annual reset kicks off a six-month cycle for your personal goals and dreams. A style refresh could also be in the making now. It’s time to put yourself first again! 

Heads up, Scorpio: You may have to dodge some disruptions from a couple of your closest people, though. The new moon will form a tricky opposition to unpredictable Uranus in your partnership house. Don’t let a rebellious or difficult person drag you out of your happy place today. In fact, you might need to temporarily (or permanently) sever ties with someone who’s bringing you down. This could happen abruptly, but once you get over the initial shock, you’ll feel a million pounds lighter!

Mars squares Saturn on November 10

On November 10, intense Mars in Scorpio gets embroiled in a stressful square with rigid Saturn in Aquarius and your fourth house of home, family and emotional foundations. Not everyone needs to know your childhood stories, nor is it appropriate to wear your heart on your sleeve in every situation. On the flip side, if you’ve been overly stoic, this Mars-Saturn square could reveal the chinks in your armor. Here’s an idea: Instead of pretending to be perfect or have it all together, keep it real with the folks who love you. They’re standing by to support you—but only if you’ll let them. Make sure to get proper self-care on the books. The tension of aggressive Mars butting heads with cautious Saturn could push you to the brink. You’re likely to be thin-skinned and take things personally. Do some conscious “mood management” now because when the emotional floodgates open, they could unleash quite a torrent! 

Mars-Uranus opposition on November 17

Too hot to handle? As energy planet Mars blazes through Scorpio for its once-every-other-year visit, your confidence and charisma will be at peak levels. But is someone interpreting your swagger as an ego trip? On November 17, hotheaded Mars faces off against volatile Uranus in your relationship house. Careful, Scorpio: Tempers could heat up fast, as could a potent attraction. You’re unlikely to think before you strike, but rash actions can come back to bite you. That said, if you’ve been looking to make a quick, clean break from a confining role, today’s Mars-Uranus standoff could embolden you to do just that.

Eclipse season begins with the Taurus full moon on November 19

The November 19 Taurus full moon, also a potent lunar eclipse, provides the perfect setting to sort out conflict and rebalance your relationships. As la luna beams into your seventh house of committed partnership, you’ll be able to have productive and open dialogue with the closest members of your inner circle, whether that’s your S.O., best friend or business partner. Once you’ve worked through the tension, a dynamic duo could become official. Or, since full moons bring turning points, you may decide to part ways.

This is the first installment of a brand-new eclipse series that will thunder across the Taurus/Scorpio axis between now and October 2023, revolutionizing your relationships and your personal path over the next two years. This particular eclipse will square off against expansive Jupiter in your home and family sector, indicating a need to radically rebalance how you divide your time between the major parts of your life. Perhaps you’re considering a move, but relocation will require you to make changes to a partnership or switch your current trajectory. 

The puzzle pieces of your life won’t fit together seamlessly, but that’s where eclipses come in. They shake up business as usual and force you to consider new options and avenues you didn’t see before. No need to rush; you’ve got two years and several more eclipses before this story fully unfolds. Nonetheless, be prepared for some swift changes with the people around you near this date!

Sagittarius season starts November 21

On November 21, the Sun starts its monthlong visit to Sagittarius and your second house of work and finances. Don’t slip into holiday hedonism yet—unless, of course, you combine business with pleasure and hit the industry events (pandemic precautions in place). The next four weeks could spawn some exciting job leads, income-boosting opportunities and the inspo to rev up your revenue. Don’t be afraid to think big!

Sagittarius

Power down, Sagittarius. The Sun is making its annual sojourn through Scorpio and your twelfth house of rest, healing and closure. Until November 21, take things at a slower pace, giving yourself space to rest, meditate and unwind. You may feel foggy and unfocused, perhaps processing some heavier emotions or dealing with fatigue as a long year winds down. Or maybe you’re simply in the mood to cocoon and finish up projects you don’t want to drag into 2022. Wrap yourself in a cozy blanket scarf, brew some loose leaf tea and get ‘em done!

Your efforts gain some much-needed momentum now that four of the six retrograde planets that made September and October a slog are FINALLY back to direct (forward) motion. Conversations, proposals and revenue-generating opportunities that slipped through the cracks could resurface this month. Don’t rush into any of them, but DO consider the appealing ones. Not sure which direction to go? With Scorpio season dialing up your intuition, a little journaling or meditation could connect you to some helpful inner guidance.

Eclipse season begins this month with the first of 2021’s final two eclipses, this one starting off a new series on the Taurus/Scorpio axis that will reshape your approach to health, fitness, healing and spirituality between now and October 2023. 

Grab the birthday noisemakers! Sagittarius season sweeps in on November 21, waking you up and getting you in holiday mode for a month. You’ll be back to your effusive Archer ways. And (spoiler alert) with a solar eclipse landing in Sagittarius on December 4, the stars could gift you with a surprising new path or an opportunity to see your name in lights.

The Sun is in Scorpio until November 21

For the first three weeks of the month, the action is set against the backdrop of the Sun’s annual trudge through Scorpio and your sleepy, sluggish twelfth house. Until November 21, you may feel simultaneously tired AND wired all the time, sort of like you pulled an all-nighter but still have a triple espresso coursing through your veins. All the more so since energy planet Mars is also pulsing through Scorpio until December 13, piling on the demands but shorting your energy. Or you could be sorting through unfinished business and tying up a million loose ends. Get that stuff DONE, Sag—you’ll feel so much better once you do.

It’s “out with the old” at the November 4 Scorpio new moonIs there a part of your life you need to release so you can start writing a new chapter? Sometimes, endings are beginnings, a paradox you can explore at the November 4 Scorpio new moon. Maybe you need to surrender and allow the universe to take command. If you’ve been forcing an agenda or swimming upstream, this new moon will present new pathways that involve a lot less struggle. Find a space of quiet within yourself. Journal, meditate, get an intuitive reading—and see what guidance comes.

A challenging person, perhaps someone you’ve been in a lot of conflict with recently, may lay down their sword at last. Or you could see the (unsavory) true colors of a person you thought was an ally. Rather than cut them off abruptly, look at where YOU may have fueled this dynamic by being indirect or blurring boundaries. If people don’t know where you stand or what you expect, it’s hard for them to deliver the results you want. After all, they’re not mind readers! That said, don’t let anyone gaslight you here. If you’ve been clear about your limits and someone keeps violating them, this new moon reinforces your right to say “that’s not okay!” 

Note to Sag: Your inner control freak COULD rear its head today because the moon will lock into a tense opposition with disruptive and unpredictable Uranus in Taurus. Watch your stress levels and keep your wits about you. Under this face-off, you can be accident-prone and distracted by your swirling thoughts. Anxiety can cause a careless error on an important project. Breathe. Ground yourself. Get support…and cry if you need a release! Just do what it takes to get out of your head. The side-spinning planet in your micromanaging sixth house could send your “lizard brain” into overdrive. Yikes!

Mars squares Saturn on November 10

Feeling misunderstood…or just on the verge of burnout? On November 10, you could find yourself navigating through a minefield of obstinate decision makers with old-school opinions. Hotheaded Mars in your twelfth house of release locks into a tense square with rigid Saturn in Aquarius and your communication house. Are YOU the one being stubborn and stonewalling, Sag? If so, take a hard look at what’s driving that. If you’re hitting rock-bottom, this is your moment to wave the white flag and call a timeout. You could hit a point of meltdown if you don’t, which could lead to unfortunate arguments and battles of will. 

The bigger lesson? Know your limits! Give yourself—and others—a chance to absorb information and scale the inevitable learning curve. You might be on information overload or just emotionally saturated (wring out that psychic sponge!) from excessive caretaking and problem-solving. Could it be a hint of…codependence? This month, sort out what’s “yours” and what’s “theirs,” and you’ll lighten your load in every way. A Mars-Saturn square is like having one foot on the gas and the other on the brake. If you try to force things, you’ll just end up with whiplash.

Mars-Uranus opposition on November 17

You could get a harsh lesson in just how disruptive your multitasking mania can be on November 17, when Mars locks into a chaotic opposition to volatile Uranus in your organized sixth house. You may have to log some long hours fixing tech glitches or finishing up a seemingly endless and detailed project. (Pro tip: Line up some support in advance so you can do this without driving yourself into exhaustion.)

Eclipse season begins with the Taurus full moon on November 19

Health and organization become priority items on November 19, when the annual Taurus full moon, also a potent lunar eclipse, shines its inspector’s high beams into your sixth house of wellbeing. Do you have all your systems in place? Is your workflow organized, and are you making time for exercise and healthy eating? 

This is the first installment of a brand-new eclipse series that will stream across the Taurus/Scorpio axis between now and October 2023. The line between holding onto control and surrendering to the divine order will make itself markedly clear. Are you overthinking and getting stuck in analysis paralysis? At this eclipse, the Sun and moon will lock into a T-square with expansive Jupiter in your third house of information. Toggling between too many options could create a case of overwhelm. Don’t rush yourself to make a big decision unless you absolutely have to, Sagittarius. This day is best used for some serious pros-and-cons pontificating. 

Spoiler: There will be one more 2021 eclipse on December 4 in YOUR sign. So do some deep consideration now, and in a couple weeks, you could be ready to make a lunar-powered move.

Sagittarius season starts November 21

Wake-up call! The energy dip you’ve been battling all month with the Sun and Mars in Scorpio and your sleepy twelfth house will be offset by the life-giving Sun moving into Sagittarius for a month on November 21 (hello, birthday season!). Why wait until January 1 to kick-start those resolutions? Your sign is always ten steps ahead of everyone else anyway. Initiatives you begin now could blossom into something major that puts your name on the map! How about being thankful for yourself this year, Archer? Acknowledging your greatness and expressing appreciation for the people who support you reminds you that life is actually pretty sweet in your camp. 

Capricorn

Get out and circulate, Capricorn. As the Scorpio Sun soars through your collaborative eleventh house until November 21, this month is all about tapping into the power of teamwork. 

You’re extra inspired to make moves now that four of the six retrograde planets that jammed up September and October are back in direct (forward) motion. Don’t expect to slip quietly into the holidays…at least not yet. For the first three weeks of November, mingling and merriment are your marching orders. With go-getter Mars in Scorpio until mid-December, your networking could yield promising new connections.

Hang the mistletoe early because on November 19, a Taurus lunar (full moon) eclipse sweeps into your passionate fifth house, which could bring a romantic moment out of the blue. These intense moonbeams could also dredge up surprising emotions you’ve been bottling up. Make sure you have some healthy outlets if a stormy mood starts brewing. In fact, this is the first eclipse in a two-year series on the Taurus/Scorpio axis that will help you establish a healthy line between drama and detachment.

Then, just as others start getting festive, you’re ready for a brief hibernation. On November 21, the Sun slips into Sagittarius and your twelfth house of rest, healing and closure for a month. Focus on tying up loose ends before Capricorn season begins on December 21 and boosts your energy back up to full strength!

The Sun is in Scorpio until November 21

With the Sun in Scorpio until November 21, cutting-edge collaborations could take flight now, so start adding more like-minded people to your circle. Scorpio rules your eleventh house of groups, teamwork and technology. Motivational Mars is also in Scorpio from October 30 to December 13, revving up your networking engines. This month, it really is about who you know. Nurture your existing bonds AND go forge some new ones. Got a digital project to launch? The first three weeks of the month are prime time to use the interwebs and social media to get your visionary ideas out there further.

Collaborations kick off at the November 4 Scorpio new moon

An existing collaboration—or the start of a fruitful one—could take flight on November 4, when the year’s only Scorpio new moon beams into your eleventh house, sparking synergies. You might be invited to join a professional association that advances your goals. Or maybe politics is calling your name? Whatever the case, this new moon is here to expand your circle and bring some dynamic new thinkers into your orbit. It’s a great day to host (or attend) a party or an event that benefits a cause that you care about. 

Keep the divas and drama queens off the guest list, however, Capricorn. The new moon will stand in opposition to disruptive Uranus in your fifth house of passion and self-expression. An attention-hungry person (who may have an outsized ego to boot) could try to steal the spotlight and derail progress. Belligerent behavior might even erupt at a party, so dodge any scenes that look like they could blow up into a bad reality-TV moment. If you’re leading a team or addressing a crowd, make sure everyone feels included and acknowledged. Under these stars, you might unwittingly come across as arrogant—SO not the look you’re going for, Cap. 

This new moon also marks a great day for a digital launch or sending one of your online creations viral. If you do put yourself out there on social media, watch for interference from the Uranus opposition. Tone down the snark and irreverence, and don’t post anything that could be seen as controversial unless you’re 100 percent willing to stand behind it—and take the heat.

Mars squares Saturn on November 10

Hold off on the early holiday shopping for now, Capricorn. On November 10, intense Mars in your group activity zone will lock into a tense square with rigid Saturn in Aquarius and your money corner. Has your budget gotten bloated with service providers who aren’t pulling their weight and friends who let you pick up the tab one time too many? Are you frittering away your hard-earned cash on projects or activities that aren’t returning the investment? 

You may cut ties or institute some radical “policy changes” with the people around you. But don’t rush into extreme levels of severity too quickly, Capricorn. With straight-talking Mars in the mix, voice your concerns with friends or colleagues and see what you can work out. Maybe you need to split the bill, share the workload or do things a little differently. Give people a chance to self-correct before you delete them from your contact list.

Mars-Uranus opposition on November 17

Ego trip alert! A team member or collaborator could provoke serious drama today with their attention-seeking antics, sowing chaos among the ranks. In order to wrest control back from this dominating derailer, a full-blown confrontation may be unavoidable. On the other hand, will reacting just give this bully more of what they want? Some people gain a false sense of power by seeing that they can push your buttons. You may have to sit on your hands or gag yourself lest you start a texting war or say something you’ll live to regret. Outside of all that, slow down! The erratic energy of this Mars-Uranus face-off can make people accident-prone, especially if you make hasty moves or multitask. 

Eclipse season begins with the Taurus full moon on November 19

Sweet freedom—along with some pleasure, passion and joy—are yours for the taking at the November 19 Taurus full moon, also a potent lunar eclipse, which beams into your fifth house of romance and self-expression. This is the first installment of a brand-new eclipse series that will thunder across the Taurus/Scorpio axis between now and October 2023. 

A creative project could put your name in lights. A budding attraction might blossom into full-on consummation at this full moon. State your desires plainly, without apology or window dressing, and you’re likely to see them fulfilled. If you’ve got a new image to put on display, consider letting these moonbeams light your coming-out party. Debut a style makeover or tease a rebranded website. You’re ready to show the world a fierce and freshened-up version of yourself! The fifth house also rules fertility, so Caps of the childbearing set could have pregnancy news or a frank discussion about babies if that’s on your agenda.

With the Sun and moon forming a tense square to Jupiter in Aquarius and your money zone, you’ll need to balance all this new activity against some of your financial and work duties. It could be a lot to juggle all at once, but luckily, you’re up for the challenge! You may need to just let all the dust settle before making any big decisions about love, collaborations and career, as these puzzle pieces probably won’t fit neatly together.

Sagittarius season starts November 21

Prepare to power down for a month starting November 21, when the Sun slips into Sagittarius and your twelfth house of rest and endings. Tie up loose ends and focus on closure. What do you want to leave behind before the new year…and new decade? Do the real work required to let that go: forgiveness, making amends, getting therapy or coaching around a troubling issue. It’s the perfect time to begin a spiritual practice, restorative exercise or some other inner work. Need to say goodbye to a painful chapter of your life? Endings are beginnings at this new moon. It can help to see everything as a cycle or a valuable lesson that’s helping you grow.

Aquarius

Go for your goals! While others slip into pre-holiday mode, you’re just gearing up. Until November 21, the Sun is in Scorpio, your tenth house of career, prestige and status—your most ambitious time of year. So lean in, Aquarius (and we don’t mean into the rum-spiked eggnog bowl). With go-getter Mars also in Scorpio all month, you could make major headway on a high-profile project—and score a promotion or year-end career coup in the process. Your hard work could also attract well-deserved recognition.

No movement yet? Make it happen! With four of the six retrograde planets that stalled your plans in September and October now spinning direct (forward), momentum is on your side. Two of those planets, Jupiter and Saturn, have been in Aquarius. If your personal goals hit a speed bump over the past few months, you could make up for lost time now and finish the year strong.

But get ready: Your personal and professional paths could be in for some interesting plot twists in the second half of the month. Eclipse season begins on November 19 with the first of 2021’s final two eclipses, this one starting off a new series on the Taurus/Scorpio axis that will

reshape your approach to home, family, work and career between now and October 2023.
You can lighten up considerably after November 21, when Sagittarius season begins. With the Sun in your social and friendship-oriented eleventh house—the realm associated with Aquarius—you’re at your best, out among the people!

The Sun is in Scorpio until November 21

Countdown! The calendar might not be turning just yet, but you’ve got your eye on the ticker this month. The Sun is making its annual sojourn through Scorpio and your ambitious, goal-driven tenth house until November 21, getting you all fired up to meet your 2021 milestones. You’ve got no time for drama and nonsense, Aquarius: You’re on a mission, and the only way to go is up!

This month it’s game ON when it comes to your goals and responsibilities. Unstoppable Mars is blazing through Scorpio and your tenth house of career until December 13, turning the rest of the year into an ambitious heat zone. Deadlines and demands will ramp up, so you’ll have to be vigilant about managing your schedule and keeping firm boundaries intact. An exciting project could put your name in lights or position you for a promotion or leadership role. But still: You’ll need to get clear on the time commitment and spell out every expectation before you say yes.

The November 4 Scorpio new moon ignites your ambitions and career

The November 4 Scorpio new moon is an ideal day to kick off an ambitious project or apply for a new job if you’re in the market. With a fresh six-month cycle starting in your career zone, today’s power moves could yield a big professional victory between now and the May 2022 Scorpio full moon. Got your sights set on a leadership role or an equally big next step? New moons can take up to six months to fully unfold, so map out a trajectory. Speak to a mentor or supervisor about what you need to do (acquire new skills, get advanced training or professional certification) to position yourself for that.

Watch out for a curveball from your personal life today because this new moon will sit exactly opposite Uranus (your ruler), which is in Taurus and your fourth house of home, family and emotions. Strong mood swings—yours or from someone close to you—can throw everything off, turning a calm conversation into a heated argument. With the new moon in your tenth house of fathers, and Uranus in your fourth house of mother figures, family could be a source of chaos. Trying to figure out holiday plans? Save that for another day! Knowing this, go out of your way to avoid pushing people’s buttons, and don’t allow your own to be jabbed if you can help it. But since Uranian activity comes out of the blue, that could happen when your guard is down. Should you lose your temper or your cool, try to come back to center as fast as you can. You might experience a sudden change in your living situation or family structure, forcing you to factor this into whatever you’re plotting for your career.

Mars squares Saturn on November 10

Ambition or autonomy? You could find yourself torn between dueling desires to fulfill your duties and to fly free on November 10. Fiery Mars in Scorpio and your career zone squares off with tough Saturn in Aquarius, which can feel like having one foot on the gas and the other on the brake. You could wind up in a major power struggle—perhaps one that could be avoided—if you insist on challenging every authority figure who stands in your way or by refusing to do certain things by the book. Is compromise possible without selling out on your ideals or settling for less than you deserve? Today, that’s debatable. When in doubt, ride it out: Why swim upstream if you can float?

Mars-Uranus opposition on November 17

Explosion alert! The two most fiery and volatile planets are at loggerheads today across your work-life axis. Stressful Mars in your career sector is intensifying pressure on the job while unpredictable Uranus in your emotional fourth house shifts your moods by the minute. This combustible cocktail is a recipe for snapping. Stay as far away as possible from people who push your buttons. Some of them may be your closest relatives since these planets disrupt the chart sectors linked to parents and families of origin. Or they could be coworkers and friends who are relying too heavily on you for support. Do your best not to unload on them—but be direct about your capacity if you’re running out of steam.

November 19

Save the emotional talks until November 19, when the year’s only Taurus full moon, also a potent lunar eclipse, beams into your fourth house of home, family and heartfelt connections. You’ll be able to express your sensitive side. While you’re at it, let the office know you’re in “do not disturb” mode today—as much as you possibly can. Turn off your phone, even if it’s only for an hour. Mute the drama queens’ notifications and let everyone know they have to figure things out instead of pulling you in.

This is the first installment of a brand-new eclipse series that will ripple across the Taurus/Scorpio axis between now and October 2023, shifting your work-life balance. Over the next two years, expect major developments around home, family, career and leadership—and lots of surprise opportunities to pivot onto a new path. This particular eclipse will form a loose T-square (a three-way tug of war) between the Sun, the moon and expansive Jupiter in Aquarius. Have you outgrown certain facets of your life? If your job or your living situation is no longer a fit, the Taurus lunar eclipse could push you to make a change.

Sagittarius season starts November 21

Don’t forget to lean on your team! After working hard on your goals all month, collaborations could take flight. Sagittarius season begins on November 21 as the Sun enters the Archer’s court for a monthlong sashay through your eleventh house of group activity and friendship. It’s the perfect time to hit the holiday party circuit to network and catch up with your crew. Combine business and pleasure and maybe even host a casual gathering or official event to promote something special you’re working on. Naturally you’ll want to keep an eye on your goals, but DO unchain yourself from your desk now. You’ll accomplish more when you’re out in a social setting than you will locked away in your workspace.

Pisces

Expand your horizons, Pisces! The Sun is trekking through Scorpio and your liberated ninth house of expansion, travel and adventure until November 21. Explore new vistas and wriggle out of confining situations. Book your holiday getaway, take a personal-growth workshop or plant the seeds for a startup venture. Break out of your well-worn groove by speaking up and being honest with yourself and others. If some part of your life isn’t inspiring you, this is your moment to change that. The more you challenge yourself to spread your wings, the happier you’ll be.
Change is in the air now that four of the six retrograde planets that shaped September and October have corrected course and returned to direct (forward) motion. While you’re still slogging through a bit of the fall fog, some of it will start to lift. Set your big-picture sights on December 28, when lucky and expansive Jupiter returns to Pisces until May 2022. Until then, focus on tying up loose ends and just going with the flow.

Communication gets a makeover when eclipse season begins this month. The November 19 full moon is the first of 2021’s final two eclipses, this one starting off a new series on the Taurus/Scorpio axis that will reshape your approach to friendship, ideas, mindset, travel and self-expression over the next two years.

Others may get all holly-jolly when Sagittarius season starts on November 21, but you’re laser-focused on your goals. With your tenth house of career in the spotlight for the next four weeks, you can knock out some 2021 milestones before the calendar turns.

The Sun is in Scorpio until November 21

Big and bold is just your speed this month, so unleash that Pisces power! The Sun is sailing through Scorpio and your visionary ninth house until November 21, putting you in the mood for expansion and adventure. You’ve got no time for small talk when you’re percolating with this much passion. Get reacquainted with your bucket list and add a few new items to it. 

The ninth house rules travel, entrepreneurship, study and publishing. You’re hungry for new ideas and experiences—and eager to share the brilliant ideas that are pinging your brain at warp speed. Find a platform or use the one you’ve got, Pisces. And don’t feel like you have to do it alone. The Sun in this adventurous and horizon-expanding sector heartily encourages you to team up with a diverse group of people. Don’t worry if it’s just a handful of you taking on a giant challenge. Before you know it, your efforts could create a snowball effect. 

All month, go-getter Mars is also zooming through Scorpio, heating up your visionary ninth house until December 13. Go big with those entrepreneurial ideas! Mars only visits this realm of your chart every two years, so if you’ve been considering a leap of faith around entrepreneurship, Mars powers up your confidence to get an indie business launched. Travel, study and publishing also get a boost. While in your outspoken ninth house, Mars urges you to voice your truth and pursue your supersized dreams. 

The November 4 Scorpio new moon offers adventure and new horizons

On November 4, the Scorpio new moon really gets you seeing limitless possibilities—and talking about them! An honest conversation today could open up new levels of closeness and mutuality. Suddenly, all the dots start connecting, and you can see the bigger picture. Whew! After an emotional three weeks, you’re ready to shake off the heaviness. Time to emerge a butterfly, Pisces!

Travel, study or even a little staycation can get your groove back. Your mind will be hungry for novelty, so whatever you do, swing far out of your comfort zone under this new moon. Thinking of starting a business or an independent media project? These moonbeams favor creative and enterprising moves. A communication curveball is also possible at this new moon, which will stand opposite radical Uranus in your third house of ideas and information. News could come out of left field, or you might receive a message that changes everything on a dime. Try not to react to any such disruptions—the best thing you can do is stay calm and get all the facts. Whether it’s an exciting offer or a jaw-dropping revelation, you might need a minute to adapt to these unexpected changes.

Mars squares Saturn on November 10

On November 10, you’ll have to navigate around a tense square between hotheaded Mars in your freedom-loving ninth house and rigid, rules-enforcing Saturn. Action planet Mars is all about making things happen—and doubly so in your #NoLimits ninth house. But a “can’t stop won’t stop” attitude could lead to a slap on the wrist (or worse) if you try to charge too far past existing boundaries and limits. Saturn is in Aquarius and your twelfth house of hidden agendas, meaning that opposition may come from an unlikely source or secret “enemy.”

The person you THOUGHT was an ally might not have your back. (Nobody saw that coming!) Or details could surface around a deal or project that seemed like a “slam dunk,” forcing you to deal with loopholes and bureaucracy. Another consideration: Have you been charging ahead with blinders on, refusing to deal with something important or perhaps burying your head in the sand? Something you’ve swept under the rug could implode—or explode. Should that happen, your best strategy is to take a deep breath and handle them maturely. Be willing to scale back any overly ambitious plans to do things right.

Mars-Uranus opposition on November 17

Take it easy on November 17, when Mars faces off with disruptor Uranus in your communication zone and tempers can be hair-trigger. At this Mars-Uranus clash, your knee-jerk reactions and nervous energy makes it hard to communicate your point effectively. Watch what you post on social media too. Anything you do that has an edge, especially if it can’t be “unseen,” could come back to bite you. 

Eclipse season begins with the Taurus full moon on November 19

Clarity and open communication will arrive at the November 19 Taurus full moon, also a potent lunar eclipse, which beams into your expressive third house. Have the productive conversations, brainstorming sessions and solution-driven chats with your crew, Pisces. Keep talk focused on a common mission and stay out of the blame game. While you can “lead by example” and take responsibility for your transgressions, don’t demand or expect that of anyone else. Being proactive and forward-moving is the way to go.

This is the first installment of a brand-new eclipse series that will ripple across the Taurus/Scorpio axis between now and October 2023. Teaching, learning, media, writing and entrepreneurship are all themes worth exploring over the next two years. The eclipses could also bring unexpected opportunities to spread a message or be a spokesperson for new ideas.

This month’s eclipse will also lock into a challenging square with expansive Jupiter in Aquarius and your twelfth house of healing, surrender and the subconscious. Your intuition may be telling you one thing, but the data is saying another. Which part of yourself do you trust: your gut or your logical brain? It will certainly be a balancing act. A charismatic person could tempt you to get on board with their big ideas, but make sure they can back up their grand claims. And carefully review the facts and figures before you simply follow along.

Sagittarius season starts November 21

When the Sun starts its monthlong visit to Sagittarius and your ambitious, success-driven tenth house on November 21, you’re ready to put lofty ideas into a real project plan with budgets, timelines and action steps. If you’re ready to start pursuing a new role or goal or even a completely new path, here’s your green light to begin that mission. Get ready to finish the year strong. If you’re a business owner, it’s a great time to rack up some holiday sales or to knock those Q4 goals out of the park.
