SCORPIO (OCT 22-NOV 21)  November starts out complicated but ends more easily.. well, kinda. The action this month is in the fixed signs of Scorpio, Taurus, and Aquarius, so that means you, baby.  At the top of the month the Sun in your sign of Scorpio makes an exact angle to Saturn.  That can be a slog, but that’s not the only thing going on…Mercury in Libra lines up with Pluto for a couple of days of diving deeply into the mysteries (they don’t call it All Souls Day for nothing’!) while at the same time Venus makes a stimulating angle to Uranus, adding some fun and distraction to what otherwise would be Saturnian tension.  So while you’ll be tackling something seriously, you’ll be approaching it with some radical creativity.  Go for it!  By the November 4^th Scorpio new moon – always a juicy and intuitive one—the Scorpio Sun opposes Uranus for a few days of dramatic and unexpected changes.  Mercury’s angle to Jupiter makes communication pretty delightful.  By the 9^th, Mercury in Scorpio catches up to Mars in Scorpio for a few days of edginess.  Be careful, you could be cranky, especially on 10^th and 11^th when both planets line up with Saturn.  By the 14^th, Mercury, which is moving faster than Mars, opposes Uranus for a couple of days of wild and creative ideas. Pay attention to them!  Then on the 16^th, Mars replaces Mercury in its angle to Uranus, giving you the creative energy to implement some of those wild ideas.  Once again, your astrologer says, go for it—especially since the Scorpio Sun squares Jupiter at the same time, bringing some fulfillment.  The Mars Uranus angle continues into the powerful Taurus full moon and partial lunar eclipse of the 19^th.  The full moon will bring to a head the sense of tumultuousness and tension that everyone has been feeling, although Venus is also mixed up in  it, so there could be some powerful shared effort  that you are part of.  You will be very affected by this full moon, especially if your birthday is at the end of Scorpio.  The Sun enters Sagittarius late on the 21^st, followed by Mercury a couple of days later, and the Sun and Mercury pretty much march in tandem for the rest of the month, bringing more of a sense of ease and fun.  The Sagittarians in your life will be even more talkative than usual!  By the end of November, the Saturn Uranus square that dominated the first half of this year comes back into play. It will bring some resolution along with more tension and an urgency to change.  Make the changes to your life that you know you need to make.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22- DEC 21)  November aint easy, sorry to say, but it sure is interesting! It begins with a complex lineup. The Scorpio Sun makes an angle to Saturn, which brings attention to work and feels a bit heavy.  Mercury lines up with Pluto so put your brain to work on something deep and arcane.  Meanwhile Venus is in angle to Uranus, shaking things up, making you want change and excitement. It’s very distracting!  The November 4^th Scorpio new moon falls in an exact angle to Uranus, bringing you a desire to bust out  of some structures.   Then by the 9^th Mercury in Scorpio catches up to Mars in Scorpio for a few days of mental stress.  You might be a tad tense, especially since both planets make an angle to Saturn, so watch out for crabbiness and for putting your foot in it.  Mercury keeps on moving and by the 14^th is exactly opposite Uranus.  That is a lot of mental stimulation, even for a Sag !  Pay attention to your insights and ideas.  Then Mars replaces Mercury in that angle to Uranus by the 16^th, bringing a few days of intense energy and willfulness.  Stay away from conflict.  November 19^th brings  a Taurus full moon and partial eclipse, and this full moon carries all that Mars-Uranus energy, along with  a nice Venus effect.  You will want to make some changes in your life, so let Uranus lead the way towards really establishing a good life/work balance.   The Sun enters your sign of Sagittarius late on the 21^st, and Mercury follows on the 24th.  These two spend the rest of the month moving together, facilitating communication, hopefulness, and making you more talkative than ever.  By the end of November, Saturn and Uranus move back into position, in the same angle they were in for most of 2021. It’s time for you to tweak whatever structures you put into place in the spring, now that you’ve identified the weak spots in your foundation.  Get to work on that!

CAPRICORN (Dec 21-Jan19)  Well, November is kinda weird, but what else is new… It begins with a serious Sun-Saturn lineup, emphasizing your focus on work. At the same time, Mercury in the last degrees of Libra makes an angle to your pal Pluto in Capricorn.  It’s a good time for you to focus on something very deeply. Meanwhile Venus lines up with Uranus, so you are antsy and wanting something more than your Saturnian responsibilities.  Something more may be coming sooner than you think!  The Scorpio Sun opposes Uranus on the November 4^th Scorpio new moon, so you should get ready for change.  By the 9^th Mercury in Scorpio catches up to Mars, and they both square Saturn.  Hmm, this is a bit tense.  You’re feeling stressed and snappish. Then Mercury moves past Mars and opposes Uranus—damn, your nerves are frayed, but pay attention to those creative and wild ideas.  Mercury moves on but Mars now gets in line with Uranus by the 16^th.  Now you’re making those changes happen, and with a lot of force and fulfillment, thanks to Jupiter’s involvement. The Taurus full moon and eclipse falls on the 19^th and has this strong Mars-Uranus influence, with a dash of Venus thrown in. Venus, by the way, is Capricorn for most of November, an earthy and grounded placement.  Trust your groundedness in whatever set of decisions you’re making.  Then the Sun moves into Sagittarius late on the 21^st, with Mercury following suit a couple of days later. The two move together for the rest of the month, emphasizing communication and Sagittarian hopefulness.  Meanwhile the Saturn Uranus square which dominated the sky for most of 2021 is getting back into position.   Break down, re-envision, rebuild. Repeat.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20-FEB 19)  This month has big action in the fixed signs of Taurus, Scorpio and Aquarius.  That means you’re in the middle of some stuff!  November begins with a strange combination of influences.  The Scorpio Sun squares Saturn, so you’re feeling some pressure.  Mercury is lined up with Pluto, and it’s a good time for researching something deeply. But then Venus at the end of Sag makes an angle to Uranus, and you don’t want to work, you just want to hang out. What’s an Aquarian to do? The November 4^th new moon in Scorpio is in an exact opposition to Uranus. Yow—the Uranus influence will surface a strong urge toward autonomy in you. All this Scorpio/Taurus action triggers your Aquarian self in a particular way.  Watch out, world.   By the 9^th Mercury in Scorpio catches up to Mars, which is also in Scorpio , and they both square  off to Saturn in your sign of Aquarius.   Well, that’s annoying and a bit tense. Be careful of conflict.  Then Mercury moves past Mars and opposes Uranus for a couple of days when your brain is on fire. Pay attention to your ideas.  By the 16^th Mars opposes Uranus while the Scorpio Sun makes a square to Jupiter in Aquarius.  You’re going full steam ahead whether others are with you or not, and bringing something to completion, just in time for the Taurus full moon and eclipse on the 19^th. Wow.  The Mars-Uranus effect is strong on this moon, bringing the unexpected and lots of changes.  Venus is in the mix too, so you have an opportunity to be grounded in your values and not burn any bridges… The Sun enters Sagittarius late on the 21^st, and Mercury joins in on the 24^th. The two move in tandem for the rest of the month, facilitating easy conversation and communication.  The Sagittarians and Geminis in your life will be talking even more than usual, just sayin’.  The month ends with the Saturn Uranus square back in position.  You will want to readjust any structural changes you made in the spring. 

PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 19)  November begins with an odd combination of influences.  The Sun-Saturn square brings some heaviness and responsibility while Mercury and Pluto inspire you to dive deeply into something knotty.  But Venus and Uranus are in the mix too, making you just want to relax and have fun.  The only answer is to do it all.  The November 4^th new moon in Scorpio is a big one – the Scorpio Sun and Moon fall in an exact opposition to Uranus.  Expect the unexpected and allow yourself to contemplate some big changes in your life. By the 9^Th Mercury in Scorpio catches up to Mars and they both get into it with Saturn.  Uh-oh. That’s some tension and stress. Be careful of getting overwhelmed and cranky. Mercury moves past Mars and opposes Uranus and you are full of ideas and feeling hyper.  Mars then replaces Mercury and makes its own opposition to Uranus.  Once again—uh oh.  This is big, surprising, and dramatic energy, made even bigger by the Scorpio Sun’s square to Jupiter.  All of this energy of change builds towards the Taurus full moon and eclipse on the 19^th,  and you may feel propelled forward by unseen forces.  Let ‘em rip.  The Sun enters Sagittarius late on the 21^st, followed by Mercury a couple of days later.  The Sun and Mercury move forward together for the rest of the month.  Things will feel easier with a dose of Sagittarian hopefulness.  The month ends with Saturn and Uranus moving back into their s—t-kicking angle—the angle that dominated 2021 from February to August–  so you will be laying down some new structures in your life or tweaking things you put into place in the spring. 

ARIES (MAR 20-APRIL19)  November is… well, hmm… complicated.  It begins with a serious square between the Scorpio Sun and Saturn, and you feel the weight of things. Meanwhile Mercury makes an angle to Pluto, pulling you inward, but at the same time Venus and Uranus make you antsy and highly distractable.  Just roll with it.  The Scorpio new moon on November 4^th lines up in opposition to Uranus, so get ready for changes. Expect the unexpected, and let go of slow timelines. Things are moving fast.  By the 9^th Mercury catches up to Mars in Scorpio and they both make an angle to Saturn for a few days of tension and crankiness.  Then Mercury moves past Mars and opposes Uranus – like I said, things are moving fast in your life, faster than you expected.  Mars then replaces Mercury and gets into an opposition to Uranus on the 16th, and so you are making big and unexpected changes and moving some unexpected mountains, just in time for an intense Taurus full moon and eclipse on the 19^th. The Uranus influence is major on this full moon, amplified by the eclipse.  Venus is in the mix along with Mars so you need to be very grounded in your values and stay centered in the midst of change. Things ease a bit on the 21^st when the Sun enters Sagittarius, followed by Mercury on the 24^th.  The mutability and easy-breezy natures of Sag comes as a relief, a break from all these angles between planets in fixed signs which make November dramatic and full of jolts.  But—at the end of the month Saturn and Uranus get close to the angle that dominated the sky this spring and summer, and so it is time to revisit the structures you created in the spring, tweak them and realign them, even rebuild them if need be.

TAURUS (APR 20-MAY 20)  November is quite a month!  Most of the big planetary action occurs in the fixed signs of Scorpio, Aquarius, and Taurus this month.  Yup, that means you are smack in the middle of the tumult.  Take a breath—it’s not bad, it’s just a lot!  In fact, November  begins with  a pesky Sun-Saturn angle that puts some pressure on you to get stuff done, while Mercury and Pluto pull you down some rabbit holes of arcane knowledge.  You have to learn something new, and learn it fast, while Venus and Uranus spark your creativity in some surprising ways. The new moon on November 4^th is very powerful, since the Sun and Moon line up exactly in opposition to Uranus in Taurus.  You are  Uranus on crack this month, and especially on this new moon and on the upcoming Taurus full moon of the 19^th.  But I get ahead of myself!  What I mean is that you’re leading the vanguard in some way, on the cutting edge of things, pushing boundaries left and right, and perhaps disrupting every status quo you crash into.  By the 9^th, Mercury catches up to Mars in Scorpio and they both make an angle to Saturn for a few days of frustration and crankiness.  It passes. By the 14^th, Mercury opposes Uranus, making you an idea factory, and then Mercury moves on and by the 16^th, Mars replaces Mercury and makes its own opposition to Uranus.  You’re making change happen even without trying very hard, thanks to the Scorpio Sun squaring Jupiter in Aquarius.  Expect the unexpected and expect to be propelled forward by bigger forces, especially on the Taurus full moon and eclipse on the 19^th—this will be especially impactful if your birthday is at the end of Taurus.  Venus is in the middle of the Uranus action too, so stay in touch with your values.  Things ease a bit when the Sun enters Sagittarius late on the 21^st, followed by Mercury a couple of days later.  Sun and Mercury move together for the rest of the month, easing communication and generating Sagittarian hopefulness. November ends with Saturn and Uranus returning to the angle they were in this spring and summer, allowing you to restructure and rebuild.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)  Ooh, November is slightly weird! It begins with a serious angle between the Sun in Scorpio and Saturn in Aquarius, and so you feel some heavy responsibility, while Mercury and Pluto demand some deep thinking from you. At the same time Venus and Uranus makes you antsy and wanting your freedom.  The November 4^th new moon in Scorpio is a big one, since it falls in an opposition to Uranus in Taurus, bringing more changes your way.  You have to work hard this month to stay calm and also to allow Uranus to bring forth some new ideas and strategies for you.  By the 9^th, Mercury catches up to Mars in Scorpio, and they both square Saturn for a few days of tension and aggravation.  Speaking of new ideas, Mercury moves into an opposition to Uranus by the 14^th, so pay attention and be open to the new.  Mercury keeps moving and by the 16^th Mars replaces it and opposes Uranus. Now that’s about dramatic upheaval and change, so get ready to be pushed forward by the universe.  The Sun in Scorpio squares Jupiter, bringing a sense of completion.  The Uranus influence is very strong at this point, especially on the Taurus full moon and eclipse on the 19^th.  It’s time to let go of some old patterns.  Then the Sun enters Sagittarius late on the 21^st, and Mercury follows on the 24^th.  You feel more at ease, in familiar Sagittarian territory!  The Sun and Mercury move in tandem for the rest of the month, easing communication and bringing some hope.  You and your Sagittarian opposite numbers will be talking a blue streak—even more than usual.  The month ends with Saturn and Uranus returning to the intense angle they were in for most of 2021.  Break down, rebuild, tweak, rebuild again.  A new future is possible!

CANCER  (JUNE 21- JULY 21)   November begins with some contradictory and interesting dynamics… For starters, there is a sobering square between the Scorpio Sun and Saturn, and you feel the burden responsibility and perhaps some work stress.. Meanwhile Mercury makes an angle to Pluto, pulling you towards some deep reflection but at the same time Venus and Uranus make you antsy and highly distractable.   The Scorpio new moon on November 4^th lines up in opposition to Uranus, bringing more change and upheaval.   Expect the unexpected, and be aware that timelines could shift. Things are moving fast.  By the 9^th Mercury catches up to Mars in Scorpio and they both make an angle to Saturn for a few days’ irritation and crabbiness. Avoid arguing about anything, big or small.  Then Mercury moves past Mars and opposes Uranus –things are moving faster than you expected.  Mars then replaces Mercury and gets into an opposition to Uranus on the 16th, and so you are making big and unexpected changes and moving some unexpected mountains, just in time for an intense Taurus full moon and eclipse on the 19^th. The Uranus influence is major on this full moon, amplified by the eclipse.  Venus and Mars are carrying the electric energy of Uranus, but you need to ground that electrical vision.  So stay grounded in your values and centered in the midst of change. Things ease a bit on the 21^st when the Sun enters Sagittarius, followed by Mercury on the 24^th.  The hopeful nature of Sag  is a relief right now, a break from the jolts and dramatic changes that November has brought.  At the end of the month Saturn and Uranus return to the angle that dominated the sky this spring and summer, and so it is time to revisit and even rebuild the structures you created earlier this year.  It’s time to look ahead to an uncertain but hopeful future.

LEO (JUL 22-AUG 21)  This month has big action in the fixed signs of Taurus, Scorpio and Aquarius.  That means that you, o Leo, are  in the middle of some upheaval, as the fourth in the quartet of fixed signs!  November begins with a strange combination of influences.  The Scorpio Sun squares Saturn, so you’re feeling pressed to get things done.  Mercury is lined up with Pluto, and it’s a good time for researching something deeply. But then Venus at the end of Sag makes an angle to Uranus, and you are distracted by everything from the latest news story to your cat’s antics to putting your garden to bed.   The November 4^th new moon in Scorpio is in an exact opposition to Uranus. Yow—the Uranus influence will surface a strong urge toward visionary action. All this Scorpio/Taurus action triggers your Leo self in to respond.  You want change and you want it now.  Well, it’s coming!   By the 9^th Mercury in Scorpio catches up to Mars, which is also in Scorpio, and they both square  off to Saturn in Aquarius–  it’s annoying and a bit tense. Be careful of conflict.  Then Mercury moves past Mars and opposes Uranus for a couple of days when your brain is on fire. Pay attention to your ideas.  By the 16^th Mars opposes Uranus while the Scorpio Sun makes a square to Jupiter in Aquarius.  You’re bringing something to completion, just in time for the Taurus full moon and eclipse on the 19^th. Wow.  The Mars-Uranus effect is strong on this moon, bringing the unexpected and lots of changes.  Venus is in the mix too, so you have an opportunity to be grounded in your values and get clear about your next moves.   The Sun enters Sagittarius late on the 21^st, and Mercury joins in on the 24^th. The two move in tandem for the rest of the month, facilitating easy conversation and communication.  The month ends with the Saturn Uranus square back in position.  You will want to readjust any structural changes you made in the spring.  Break down, re-envision, rebuild.  Repeat. 

VIRGO (AUG 22- SEPT 21)   November begins with a weird amalgam of influences.  The Sun-Saturn square brings some heaviness and hard work while Mercury and Pluto inspire you to dive into self reflection or into a deep study.  But Venus and Uranus are in the mix too, distracting you with relationships, creative work, and putting the garden to bed.  Don’t stress, just roll with it. The November 4^th new moon in Scorpio is a big one – the Scorpio Sun and Moon fall in an exact opposition to Uranus.  Expect the unexpected and allow yourself to contemplate some big changes in your life. By the 9^Th Mercury in Scorpio catches up to Mars and they both get into it with Saturn.  That’s a recipe for crankiness and irritation. Be careful of silly disagreements, and I would say, not a good time to argue politics.  Mercury moves past Mars and opposes Uranus and you are full of ideas – pay attention to them! Mars then replaces Mercury and makes its own opposition to Uranus.   This is big, surprising, and dramatic energy, made even bigger by the Scorpio Sun’s square to Jupiter.  Some big set of changes are coming to completion, which is exciting and also a bit scary.  All of this energy of change builds towards the Taurus full moon and eclipse on the 19^th, and you may feel propelled forward by unseen forces.  Go ahead – take a chance, jump off that cliff! The Sun enters Sagittarius late on the 21^st, followed by Mercury a couple of days later.  The Sun and Mercury move forward together for the rest of the month.  Things will feel easier, less fraught, and a dose of Sagittarian hopefulness is a relief.  The month ends with Saturn and Uranus moving back into their dramatic angle—the angle that dominated 2021 from February to August–  so you will be creating new structures in your life or tweaking the old ones.  Let go of what isn’t working, and envision a new future.

LIBRA (SEPT 22-OCT21)  November is full of jolts and surprises, so find those Libran rose colored glasses – and fast.  It begins with a serious square between the Scorpio Sun and Saturn, and you feel the pressure of work and the weight of the world. Meanwhile Mercury makes an angle to Pluto, pulling you towards some deep research or study, but at the same time Venus and Uranus make you antsy and easily distracted by TV or new recipes. The Scorpio new moon on November 4^th lines up in opposition to Uranus, so get ready for changes. Expect the unexpected,  and let go of attachment to what you thought was going to happen. Things are moving fast.  By the 9^th Mercury catches up to Mars in Scorpio and they both make an angle to Saturn for a few days where you feel edgy and irritated.  Then Mercury moves past Mars and opposes Uranus –things are moving faster than you imagined.  Mars then replaces Mercury and gets into an opposition to Uranus on the 16th, and so you are making some unexpected changes, just in time for an intense Taurus full moon and eclipse on the 19^th. The Uranus influence is major on this full moon, amplified by the eclipse.  Venus is in the mix along with Mars so you need to be very grounded in your values and stay centered in the midst of change. Things ease a bit on the 21^st when the Sun enters Sagittarius, followed by Mercury on the 24^th.  The mutability and hopefulness  of Sag – which in the face of current realities can  seem utterly irrational– comes as a relief, a break from all the jolts and ups and downs of this month.  At the end of November Saturn and Uranus return to the angle that dominated the sky this spring and summer, and so it is time to revisit the structures you created in the spring, tweak them and realign them, even rebuild them if need be. A new future is possible!
