November 2016 Horoscopes

Aries: Are you still trying to take the conventional route towards your goals and future plans, when you’re oh so unconventional? When it comes to the month of November, know that it won’t be the time for playing it safe, especially as your ruling planet (Mars) spends time in Aquarius (beginning November 9th); a sign that’s known as being the rebel of the zodiac. In order for you to get to where you want to be now, you may need to take a major risk, delve into entrepreneurship, or align yourself with a new tribe of people who get the person that you are becoming. You’re being called to leave your own indelible mark on the world. And since we’re on the topic of what you’re leaving behind, Venus moving into Capricorn (beginning on November 11th) and into your zone of career and achievement, asks that you focus on your legacy. What do you want to be recognized for? What do you want to create for the generations that will come behind you? With Venus here, you’re being asked to co-create your vision with the Universe with confidence. On the 12th, curious Mercury enters Sagittarius, your zone of travel, media, and opportunity. With Mercury in visionary Sagittarius, it’s time to shift your perception and believe in the impossible again. Your mantra now? Nothing ventured, nothing gained. When the Full Moon in Taurus lands in your zone of income and possessions on November 14th, consider it your call to put an end to being undervalued or underpaid. Own your value. On the 21st, the Sun enters Sagittarius; joining Mercury (and Saturn). Under their influence, the craving for new experiences and new adventures will be hard to ignore. Traveling to distant lands, embarking on a media or writing project, enrolling in school, or taking up a new philosophy, or putting plans in motion to realize one your biggest dreams are all possibilities for you now. Look to the New Moon in Sagittarius on the 29th to help you take the first step on your new path. Take the road less traveled.

Taurus: Your career and reputation heat up this month, thanks to go-getter Mars entering Aquarius (November 9th); your zone of fame, ambition, and achievement. Though with Mars in an unconventional sign like Aquarius, it’s time for you to take some risks when it comes to your professional path. You could decide to strike out on your own path or go for a position that doesn’t leave you feeling like you’re being micromanaged. Overall, make your moves in a way that your competitors (or the ones you want to impress) least expect. In other words, never let them see you coming. On the 11th, pleasure-loving Venus enters Capricorn (a fellow earth sign) and steps into your zone of travel, opportunity, and education. With Venus here, your source of pleasure will be found in a distant country, in a workshop or classroom learning something new, or with someone whose culture is very different than yours (love is in the air!). On the 12th, communicative Mercury moves into Sagittarius and into your zone of intimacy and finances. With Mercury here, expect to talk money—how you spend it, how you make it, who you owe it to, etc. If money has been an issue, this could be a good time to work with a coach or expert to help you get on the right track. When the Full Moon in Taurus lands in your zone of self-image and confidence on the 14th, get ready to release something or someone that’s been holding you back. Under this moon, you could decide to end a negative relationship with your body image, adopt a new look, clear space for a new relationship or take a fresh approach to something you’ve been wanting. On the 21st, the Sun enters Sagittarius (joining Mercury and Saturn) putting a spotlight on your sense of security and empowerment. When the New Moon in Sagittarius lands in this zone on the 29th, get ready to break free of anything no longer worth your time and energy. Clear a path.

Gemini: Get ready for a big, wide world to open up for you this month. When Mars enters Aquarius (your zone of travel, opportunity, and education) on November 9th, the same old boring things simply won’t do. Expect to feel like you’ve got ants in your pants now (I mean more than usual), and don’t be surprised if you hop on a flight at a moment’s notice or find yourself suddenly interested in French architecture, taking classes and taking up photography to go along with it. Look to this month as your planetary pass to break the monotony. Right now it’s about feeding your biggest dreams and your big spirit. On the 11th, Venus moves into Capricorn and into your zone of intimacy and finances. With Venus here you could come by some extra cash through an investment, a financial gift or a loan. If you’ve been looking for funding for something you’ve been wanting, this is an excellent time to apply for a grant, scholarship, or loan. On the 12th, Mercury steps into Sagittarius; lighting up your zone of partnership. Take a cue from Mercury to invite some spontaneity or a change of pace into your love life. Since Sagittarius is a jet-setting kind sign, this could mean finding romance with someone who’s not your usual type or who has a love of travel/exploration. With this area of your chart also in charge of business alliances, this is a great time to align yourself with someone that can help you grow your business, reputation, or client pool. On the 14th, a Full Moon in Taurus (November 14th) lands in your zone of rest, healing, and retreat. Under this moon a secret or hidden information could be brought to light that could help you put less stock in what others think of you. On the 21st, the Sun enters Sagittarius; joining Mercury (and Saturn). Under this planetary power, you could move a significant relationship in to a deeper place of commitment or figure out where/how you’ve been wasting time with someone unworthy. Use the New Moon in Sagittarius on November 29th to help you start fresh in love or embark on a new chapter in your relationship. This goes for business partnerships too.

Cancer: This month, it’s all about handling your biz thanks to motivated Mars moving into Aquarius—your zone of finances and deep bonding on November 9th. Under the influence of each, you’ll begin considering the investments you’ve been making in people as of late and whether or not you’ve been receiving a justifiable return on those investments. As a sign that’s motivated by safety and security you thrive on relationships that are mutually beneficial or at the very least, offer you something for the long term. With Mars in this zone you may need to take action in ending a dis-empowering/unstable relationship. Another way Mars can show up is by helping you take the steps necessary to achieve your financial freedom. On the 11th when Venus enters Capricorn, your zone of marriage and partnership, the Universe beams some extra love your way. If love hasn’t gone your way, Venus can help you turn things around. Don’t be surprised if you meet someone new. For those of you in happy relationships, Venus could help you deepen your bond (wedding bells?) or make some significant progress in terms of a professional collaboration. On the 12th, Mercury enters Sagittarius; your zone of health, work, and routine. With communicative Mercury here, expect the pace to pick up significantly which means that you’ll have to be well rested and energized to tackle everything on your to-do list. When the Full Moon in Taurus lands in your zone of friendships and future plans on November 14th, you could get the final push you need to end a one-sided friendship or find yourself meeting a goal that you may have thought would never happen. On the 21st the Sun enters Sagittarius, joining Mercury (and Saturn). While the Sun is in this zone, your source of strength and vitality will come by getting more active or leaving behind a counterproductive work environment. Look to the New Moon in Sagittarius (November 29th) to help you start fresh in these areas.

Leo: Partnership and relationships come to the forefront this month as feisty Mars enters Aquarius (November 9th), your zone of significant others. With Mars in this area of your chart, you’ll have to watch out for disagreements between you and your significant other (whether romantic or professional) over the next few weeks, though Mars here could give you the courage you need to end a bad business or romantic relationship or to set better boundaries within one. If you find that this energy has the two of you feeling cagey, channel that passion into the bedroom or boardroom. Sometimes there’s nothing like hot, angry sex or a heated brainstorming meeting to get the blood (and creativity) pumping. On the 11th, when Venus enters Capricorn, your zone of health and routine, it’s time to make prioritizing a part of your self-care routine. You love to stay busy and are always willing to lend a helping hand to others, but if you’ve got one to many things on your plate, you risk becoming overwhelmed and burnt out. Be intentional this month about what you say yes to, so you can fill your space and your schedule with the things you really want to do. And speaking of things to do: on the 12th, playful Mercury moves into Sagittarius (your zone of romance, fun, and creativity) which means it’s time for you to get out and a few cool adventures. Look to activities like exploring a new place, catching a few films or a play, writing that short story, or making some new friends to be your source of fun and learning. When the Full Moon in Taurus swings through your zone of career and achievement on the 14th, you could be in for a big milestone moment in your career that lands you in the spotlight or puts you on top. On the 21st the Sun enters Sagittarius, joining Mercury (and Saturn). Under this cosmic influence, you could meet someone new or get a heavy dose of creative inspiration. When the New Moon in Sagittarius illuminates this same zone on the 29th, mark it as your time to reconnect to your joie de vivre.

Virgo: The month opens with you getting to do something you love: getting sh*t in order. That’s because Mars, the planet of action, is entering Aquarius – your zone of health, work, and routine – on November 9th. With Mars in this area of your chart, your mission (should you choose to accept it) will be to establish better boundaries between your work life and your personal life, actively look for a new job if your current one is making you unhappy/physically ill, actively looking for new ways to beat fatigue, anxiety, or burnout (most likely through exercise), looking into alternative forms of treatment for a health condition. By the time the 11th rolls around, you’re going to be glad that you took care of your health and making space for your free time because when fun-loving Venus enters Capricorn (your zone of romance and adventure), you’ll be in the mood for some fun. With Venus in this zone of your chart, potential mates and dates will be aplenty, while your creativity, passion, and thirst for excitement will be at an all-time high. Make sure to utilize this juicy energy to attract what you desire to you. What you want is out there, Virgo. You just need to make space for it, even if that space is in your head. On the 12th, Mercury steps into Sagittarius and into your zone of home and family. While Mercury is here, you may begin your apartment or house hunt, sign a lease or deed, or look into relocating. In terms of family, this month might also be a time when you reconnect with or spend more time with those that you love. When the Full Moon in Taurus lands in you zone of travel, education, and opportunity on the 14th, your craving for something different will hit a fever pitch.

On the 21st, the Sun enters Sagittarius and your home life takes the focus again. With the New Moon in Sagittarius joining the bevy of planets in this zone on the 29th, the second half could have some Virgos building a new home with a loved one, welcoming a child, or breaking free from a part of the past that no longer resonates. You define what home means to you.

Libra: Who’s ready for some fun and romance? It looks like you are, Libra, and it’s a good thing because the Universe has got you covered! Expect the awesomesauce to overflow beginning on November 9th when go-getter Mars moves into Aquarius, your zone of creativity, adventure, and true love. With Mars in an unconventional sign like Aquarius, your best bet for a good time is to spend time traveling the off-beaten path. Take off for somewhere you’ve never been, with someone that’s not your usual type and see what kind of magic unfolds. Even if you’re happily in a relationship, expect the sparks to fly if you bring a little spontaneity and experimentation into the picture (or bedroom). On the 11th, when Venus enters security oriented Capricorn, your zone of home and family, some of you could decide to put down roots or establish more of a foundation by moving in with a partner, starting a family, purchasing a home or signing a lease, or building a home business. With your ruling planet Venus hanging out in your home zone, your biggest mission will be to turn your living space into your sanctuary. When communicative Mercury enters Sagittarius (November 12th), expect your zone of communication and ideas to be lit. With Mercury on its home turf, the pace picks up significantly but so does your insight and sharp wit. With Mercury’s help you could come up with an idea or plan that could lead to a big payoff, so don’t be afraid to think big. On the 14th, a Full Moon in Taurus lands in your zone of intimacy and finances. Under the influence of this moon, you could seal the deal on a major investment, pay off a debt, or put an end to an unstable or stagnant relationship. When the Sun enters Sagittarius on the 21st, joining Mercury and sensible Saturn, your source of light and warmth will come by way of learning something new, honing a skill, and building your contact list. On the 29th, a New Moon in Sagittarius also lands in your zone of communication. Use the power of this moon to establish profitable connections or to build buzz around a project you’ve been working on. It’s time to boldly go where you haven’t been before.

Scorpio: It’s all about your family and private life as the month opens, thanks to Mars moving into Aquarius (November 9th), your home zone. With action-oriented Mars in this tender zone of your chart, the Universe is asking that you be more proactive in creating a sense of sanctuary for yourself. This could mean moving or relocating to a new place, making some improvements or upgrades to your space, or setting down some better boundaries between yourself and a person (or persons) that you share a residence or property with. Since a transit like this also has a knack for bringing up old resentments or wounds, this may also be a time for you to receive some sort of therapy to help you heal issues with anger. On the 11th Venus enters Capricorn, your zone of communication. With money-loving Venus here in a money-loving sign like Capricorn, your skill set and marketability come to the forefront this month. Now’s the time to think about how you can monetize an idea you have or boost your skills/expertise in a way that can help you to command more money. Mercury in Sagittarius (beginning November 12th) will be in your money zone, helping you to come up with a financial plan that can help you build your bank account.

Since this area of your chart also handles business relationships, a recent collaboration could bear some rewarding fruit. On the 21st, the Sun moves into Sagittarius, joining Mercury (and Saturn). While the Sun is here, your focus will be to work on ways you block your abundance. Look to the New Moon in Sagittarius on November 29th to renew your faith in the Universe. The Universe always provides.

Sagittarius: Let’s sit down and talk for a second, Sag. Have you been avoiding saying something you really need to say because you fear being uncomfortable? When gutsy Mars enters into Aquarius (November 9th), your zone of communication, whatever has been bubbling beneath the surface will need to find its way out. You’re known around the zodiac as being one of the more tell it like it is signs but since you’re also an adaptable, go with the flow kind of sign, you can sometimes put up with things way past their due date because you don’t want things to get ugly.  The thing is, sometimes you need to face/handle the ugly in order to live authentically. And Mars in Aquarius certainly doesn’t want you sticking with a system, perception, or routine that is no longer working for you. On the 11th, money-loving Venus enters money-loving Capricorn, your zone of income and possessions. With Venus in this zone of your chart (along with Pluto), she will be working to help you attract opportunities that can help you increase your cash flow. However, the trick to making more money now will not only be about how much work you put in, but it will also be about whether or not you believe that you deserve such abundance. Now’s not the time play yourself small. On the 12th, talkative Mercury enters Sagittarius which should put you in the mood to be out and about. Expect to make some promising connections with people in both business and romance. If there’s something you need to announce or share, having Mercury in your sign is a great time to do it. When a Full Moon in Taurus lands in your zone of health, work, and routine on November 14th, it could be time to move on from an unhealthy work environment or look to ways you can better nourish your body. Under a Taurus Moon, it may be time for you to ramp up your self-care and pampering regimen. On the 21st, the Sun enters Sagittarius, your zone of confidence and self-image helping you to regain the fire that you may have lost along the way. When a New Moon in Sagittarius lands in this same zone on the 29th, it will be time to believe in yourself and your dreams again. You are your own master. Happy Birthday!

Capricorn: Your month comes in with a bit of a bang, thanks to passionate Mars entering Aquarius (your zone of income and possessions) on November 9th. As a result, you could suddenly find yourself hyper aware of what you have and what you don’t have. However, instead of becoming overly focused on a space of lack, look to new ways that you can actively increase your income. Hint: it may be doing something that’s considered non-traditional or different from your normal. Either way, the money you make now will depend on your ability to be more assertive about your self-worth and what you truly deserve. In other words, this is not a time for settling. One caveat to this transit though: a spike in unexpected expenses. Have some reserves at the ready. On the 11th, when charming Venus enters Capricorn, your zone of confidence and self-image, prepare to wow and be wowed. With Venus at your front door, she will be helping you to amplify your magnetism; bringing you some enjoyably provocative encounters with others. On the 12th, curious Mercury enters Sagittarius and steps into your zone of rest, healing, and retreat. While Mercury is here: turn off the phone, take a social media cleanse or break, meditate, talk with a therapist or healer, or get in some quiet reading/study time. The point is to give your brain a break. When the Full Moon in Taurus lands in your zone of love, creativity, and adventure on November 14th, you could experience a revelation that could help you to figure out how to bring more fun into your life, end a romance or take a romance to a deeper level, or take a risk on a creative endeavor. Overall, the theme of this moon is to help you make passion your mantra. On the 21st, the Sun steps into Sagittarius, joining Mercury and Saturn in your zone of retreat. This means that over the next few weeks, your source of light and warmth will come by laying low and working behind the scenes. Since this area of your chart also handles your spiritual well-being, it will be important for you to do things now that feed your soul to alleviate anxiety, depression, or burnout. On the 29th, a New Moon in Sagittarius can help you with making a clean break from what is no longer working in your life.

Aquarius: Nothing moves unless you say it does for most of this month, and that’s because you’ll have iron-willed Mars on your side beginning on November 9th. With Mars in Aquarius, your zone of confidence and self-image, look to become very intentional about what you want, because Mars will be giving you the focus, extra energy, and the take no prisoners attitude to get it. Also, since Mars is a very physical kind of planet, consider its trip through your sign the perfect time to work off any extra steam by doing something that gets you hot and sweaty. If a better body is what you’re after, Mars could also lend you the discipline needed to make it happen. On the 11th, pleasure-loving Venus enters Capricorn, your zone of rest, retreat, and healing. While Mars will have you fired up for most of the month, tap Venus in Capricorn’ sensual power to help you unwind and decompress with soothing music, bodywork, visual art, or the caress/company of a treasured lover. On the 12th, when communicative Mercury enters Sagittarius, your zone of friendship and future plans, it’s time to capitalize on the professional reputation that you’ve been building for yourself.

On the 21st, the Sun joins Mercury and serious Saturn in Sagittarius, asking you to think on some of your closest connections. With you juggling so many things now, you should have people in your life whom you can lean on when you need to. If this isn’t the case, the New Moon in Sagittarius on the 29th marks the perfect time to search out a new tribe.

Pisces: The month opens up a bit slowly thanks to action-oriented Mars entering Aquarius (November 9th) and stepping into your zone of rest, healing, and retreat. Since this zone is not a comfortable place for Mars to be, you’ll have to use Mars in Aquarius’ power to be proactive in finding new (and possibly nontraditional) ways to feed and nourish your soul. With pent up anger being one of the side effects of this transit, this could be the perfect time to start therapy. By the 11th, when pleasure loving Venus moves into Capricorn, you may feel caught between wanting to stay home and wanting to be social. However, don’t feel daunted. With Venus in sensible Capricorn, your source of good vibes and abundance will come by sticking to events/outings that allow for professional networking and kicking back with a few longtime friends. Think quality vs. quantity now. On the 12th, communicative Mercury steps into Sagittarius, your zone of fame, career, and achievement. With Mercury’s help, it’s time for you to take some big, yet calculated risks when it comes to your professional goals. Working for yourself, launching a career changing project, getting media attention, or being taken under the wing of someone big in your field are all possibilities that could happen. The Full Moon in Taurus on November 14th, should help you to decide what direction you want to head in as it lights up your zone of perception and communication. Under the influence of this Moon, you could have a moment of clarity as to how to best manifest something you’ve been obsessing over. Hint: you’ll have to come up with a new approach and trust your intuition. On the 21st, the Sun enters Sagittarius, joining Mercury and responsible Saturn, which means your source of strength and confidence will come by all the praise and attention you could receive for your hard work and brilliance. Look to Sagittarius season to help you level up like a boss. On the 29th, a New Moon in Sagittarius lands in your zone of career and achievement which could help land the job of your dreams or carve out a professional path that speaks deeply to who you really are (and want to be).
