Welcome to your November horoscope! There’s no easing into this month. We begin in the deep emotional waters of Scorpio season. The new moon in Scorpio on the 1st isn’t a quiet day for setting intentions, it’s a forced factory reset. This lunation is messy, painful, and certainly the end of an era. But it’s also an opportunity for rebirth.

Mercury enters freewheeling Sagittarius on the 2nd, and action planet Mars enters Leo on the 3rd. Venus also begins the month in open-hearted Sagittarius. Together these fire planets bring boosts of courage and unfiltered opinions. Boldness is rewarded so shoot your shot.

Things cool down (just a touch)on the 11th when Venus enters Capricorn. Venus here is less flirty and more concerned with quality. It’s not that she won’t entertain a casual relationship, it’s that even her flings have deep meaning. November’s climax arrives at the full moon in Taurus on the 15th which is ruled by this high standard Venus. Discipline planet Saturn stations direct on the 15th as well bringing some major gravitas to the moment. But this lunation is also conjoined to wildcard Uranus. Embrace rebellion. We’re breaking the mold as we define our legacy.

To add to the drama, Pluto, the era-defining planet of transformation, enters Aquarius on the 19th to stay until 2044! The subtle shifts around social structures, technology and collective thought that were previewed from March to June 2023 and January to August 2024, are no longer background information; they’re now the A-plot story.

Sagittarius season begins on the 21st as the sun joins Mercury in the mutable fire sign. This is a season for burning the candle at both ends, for both party girls and intellectuals. Mercury stations retrograde on the 25th through December 15th making this our second year in a row with Mercury retrograde in play for the holidays. I can already hear some of you freaking out about it. Take this as your sign to slow down, pause and simplify your plans.

Aries

(March 21 - April 19)

  • New Moon in Scorpio (11/1): Tectonic shifts with your new therapist
  • Full Moon in Taurus (11/15): Financial shakeup or windfall
  • Other Key Dates: 11/2, 11/3, 11/27

You’re on the brink of a massive shift that’s not just about one area of your life but everything at once. Your chart ruler Mars faces off with Pluto, the planet of life or death, on the 3rd—an aspect of regeneration. There’s a clear before and after here. Mars then moves into Leo on the 3rd, an influence that will bring a major boost to your romance and creativity from now until the end of the year. Flirtations you strike up this month may disappear but come back later in the spring. Trust the slow burn.

Love Horoscope: If there’s been a lack of clarity around whether or not a relationship is “official,” all is revealed around the full moon in Taurus on the 15th. Romantic connections may feel extra fated this month and you may also feel pressure to rush into getting serious. Remember: there’s no rush.

Money Horoscope: Be careful around spending on travel and education this month. What you’re reading in the brochure might not match up with what the experience will be. Decisions get clearer once Venus leaves freewheeling Sagittarius for practical Capricorn on the 11th.

Taurus

(April 20 - May 20)

  • New Moon in Scorpio (11/1): A life-changing shift, not alone but together
  • Full Moon in Taurus (11/15): Nerves are high! Emotions are high!
  • Other Key Dates: 11/3, 11/9, 11/11, 11/16, 11/22

For a long time now you’ve let yourself be defined by being a novice. This month you’re coming into your wisdom. You’re leaving your eager student era and becoming a teacher, part of which is accepting the fact that you’ll always be learning. The full moon in Taurus on the 15th puts a spotlight on all your growth and could be dysregulating. It’s one thing to completely change up your schedule and routine, but it’s a whole different thing to feel those changes in your body. Stock up on ashwagandha and leave room in your schedule to calm your nervous system. Plan for peace!

Love Horoscope: If you’ve been caught in some outdated relationship dynamics, the new moon in Scorpio on the 1st is a chance to completely reset the vibe. Whether you’re shutting it down or opening up, you’re in the midst of a transformation you couldn’t imagine a year ago.

Money Horoscope: Mercury—the planet that oversees your personal bank account balance—moves into Sagittarius and your shared resources sector on the 2nd and remains there through the rest of the year. Your challenge over the next few months is finding alternative paths to financial security, whether that’s going freelance, taking on a side hustle, or asking for help.

Gemini

(May 21 - June 20)

  • New Moon in Scorpio (11/1): Existential crisis at work leads to adopting a puppy
  • Full Moon in Taurus (11/15): Unexpected time off
  • Other Key Dates: 11/2, 11/7, 11/12, 11/18, 11/25

November brings key insights for your closest relationships as your ruling planet Mercury spends the entire month (from the 2nd) in your partnership zone. But just because you’re gaining insights, doesn’t mean you’re getting any answers. Mercury is in Sagittarius where the communication planet marches to the beat of her own unique drum. Nothing here is obvious. Miscommunications that begin on the 12th get even more complicated (and strangely more fun) around the 16th. Then on the 25th, Mercury stations retrograde, and you have to restart the conversation from scratch. Before you get too frustrated, remember there’s magic in repetition.

Love Horoscope: Starts and stops define your love life in November, as does push and pull. You’re so focused on connection, especially once Sagittarius season begins on the 21st. But Mercury stationing retrograde on the 25th says “not so fast!” You can’t rush love. Take your time.

Money Horoscope: Watch your wallet around the full moon in Taurus on the 15th when you may be tempted to fritter away your hard earned cash on something that isn’t a guarantee. Early 2025 will be all about reviewing the budgets and adjusting cash flow so save what you can now.

Cancer

(June 21 - July 22)

  • New Moon in Scorpio (11/1): Life-changing first date
  • Full Moon in Taurus (11/15): Kickoff to a wild weekend / wild holiday season
  • Other Key Dates: 11/3, 11/9, 11/22

November begins with a powerful new moon in Scorpio on the 1st. You’re feeling hot and bothered as this fresh start hits. Creative frustration and/or sexual tension that’s been building for months must be released here. At a loss re: where to begin? Why not get a new vibrator or do some morning pages? This month is about reconnecting with the muse. Doing so allows you to find a more aligned audience and community. It’s important to surround yourself with those who share your visions and goals. The full moon in Taurus on the 15th is an especially potent time to put yourself out there and make new friends. Stop worrying about what other people think so you can connect authentically.

Love Horoscope: Pluto has been in Capricorn and your relationship sector since 2008 making every commitment and negotiation feel like a deep tissue massage. Cathartic and harrowing all at once. Never easy. On the 19th though, Pluto leaves this part of your chart for good. For the first time in many years, you’re  approaching love from a place of lightness.

Money Horoscope: Feeling resourced this month requires an equal mix of work and play. As a child of the moon, abundance for you has constant ups and downs. During Sagittarius season (from the 21st), abundance requires discipline. How can you show up for yourself everyday?

Leo

(July 23 - Aug 22)

  • New Moon in Scorpio (11/1): Blow up in the family group chat
  • Full Moon in Taurus (11/15): Major breakthrough or shakeup for your career and public life
  • Other Key Dates: 11/3, 11/4, 11/16, 11/18, 11/21, 11/27

Bring on the heat. Mars moves into your sign on the 3rd, and because the action planet stations retrograde here in early December, you’re in for two straight months of literal and figurative inflammation. I won’t sugarcoat it, this influence isn’t easy, but that frustration you’re feeling now is meant to lead you to more aligned routines. All of this begins with the new moon in Scorpio on the 1st which forces you to clean some skeletons out of the family closet that you’ve been hoping someone else would take to storage for years. Once Sagittarius season begins on the 21st, you’re able to attack problems creatively and ease into the holiday season.

Love Horoscope: Communication planet Mercury spends the entire month (from the 2nd) in your sex and romance sector making this an opportune time to slide into that special person’s DMs. Don’t be too discouraged if it takes awhile for them to respond as Mercury goes retrograde on the 25th bringing many lovers from the past back into your periphery.

Money Horoscope: November requires a good amount of caution when it comes to spending for you, Leo. With all the heat you’re feeling, shopping definitely feels like a balm. But once Mercury stations retrograde on the 25th, you’re ready to return everything you just bought.

Virgo

(August 23 - September 23)

  • New Moon in Scorpio (11/1): Sibling or bestie drama!
  • Full Moon in Taurus (11/15): Unexpected travel or education opportunity
  • Other Key Dates: 11/2, 11/7, 11/12, 11/18, 11/25

November requires you to find your center. Your ruling planet Mercury spends nearly the entire month (from the 2nd) in your home sector, and stations retrograde on the 25th making it very likely you’ll have derailed holiday plans. Family infighting and travel delays will be the norm. So why not stay put and celebrate with neighbors and your chosen family? Why not create your own traditions? If you no longer want to be defined by your past, you have to make different choices.

Love Horoscope: Power planet Pluto has been in your love and romance sector since 2008, and on the 19th, it makes its final exit. At last, you’re done having “experiences” and are ready to embrace a calm life. Maybe write a memoir. What you’ve been through hasn’t been easy, but trust that you’re moving beyond turmoil and volatility for good.

Money Horoscope: Whether you’re diligently saving or having general cash flow difficulties, money has been tight this year. Luckily Venus’ entrance into practical Capricorn on the 11th brings an opportunity to stop scrimping and start making wise investments. Pay attention to gifts or opportunities that come your way on the 16th. What seems tiny at the moment could make a huge impact later.

Libra

(September 23 - October 21)

  • New Moon in Scorpio (11/1): Power surge around money and resources
  • Full Moon in Taurus (11/15): Unexpected gifts propel your next steps
  • Other Key Dates: 11/3, 11/9, 11/11, 11/16, 11/22

I took a life changing design class in college for which the assignment each week was a self-portrait, drawn in pencil. The point wasn’t to be incredible visual artists with impeccable shading but to develop a point of view. The critique I often received in this class was that my drawings were too light, that I needed to press harder with the pencil. I think of this critique often when I’m feeling afraid to be seen. There’s a distinct tremor between simply completing the assignment and really doing it. You know that you’re a bad bitch. So why are you still acting so timid? It’s time to reclaim your joy from the ground up.

Love Horoscope: Power planet Pluto enters your sex and dating sector on the 19th for a 20-year stay. From March to June 2023, and January to August 2024, you were able to preview a more futuristic version of your love life and now you get to live it. Any past lovers coming out of the woodwork this month are here to close one chapter and open another.

Money Horoscope: Mars—the planet that rules over your cash flow—makes a harsh opposition to power planet Pluto on the 3rd forcing you to face major fears around personal wealth and abundance. Though you might be personally in a bind, your community has resources. Both energetic and financial contributions from others go a long way.

Scorpio

(October 22 - November 21)

  • New Moon in Scorpio (11/1): Reinvention isn’t easy, but it’s worth it
  • Full Moon in Taurus (11/15): Unexpected contract negotiations
  • Other Key Dates: 11/2, 11/3, 11/27

November begins with a crisis but it ends with a newfound sense of security. Your ruling planet Mars faces off with Pluto—the planet of life or death situations—on the 3rd. This influence brings doubts and fears that have been simmering since early September to a climax. Stay hydrated and pay extra attention to your health as you navigate this intensity and stress. You’ll have a chance to revisit these issues with a clearer head not once but twice over the next few months. Mars enters confident Leo on the 3rd to stay through the new year, a transit that encourages you to boldly put yourself out there. Allow what’s challenging you to inspire others. Share your process.

Love Horoscope: The full moon in Taurus on the 15th brings an unexpected development to your love life and close relationships. If you’ve been struggling to figure out where you stand with someone, the dynamic is illuminated for deep clarity. Even if you don’t like what you see, at least you know.

Money Horoscope: Mercury spends the entire month in your finance sector making this an ideal time to review 2024’s cash flow and make a budgetary plan for 2025. Mercury stations retrograde on the 25th encouraging you to pause on unnecessary spending until you build up some savings.

Sagittarius

(November 22 - December 21)

  • New Moon in Scorpio (11/1): Do not disturb mode to an extreme
  • Full Moon in Taurus (11/15): Unhinged day at the office
  • Other Key Dates: 11/3, 11/18

There’s real power in keeping your revelations to yourself this month, Sagittarius. The new moon in Scorpio on the 1st is about calling off plans. Skip the birthday party and go to a sound bath instead. The first part of the month is for finding peace in these quiet introspective moments. The FOMO is real but you need to rest. Once your season begins on the 21st, you can show up for yourself and others rejuvenated. Mercury also spends the entire month (from the 2nd) in your sign making you unabashedly outspoken. Just be careful not to go too far out of line or you may have to walk some comments back when Mercury stations retrograde on the 25th.

Love Horoscope: Relationships have been a central focus for you since your ruling planet Jupiter entered Gemini back on May 25. Though progress and expansion have slowed down, you still need support. “I’m baby” should be your refrain this month. You’re always showing up for everyone else. Let them take care of you.

Money Horoscope: Since 2008, transformation planet Pluto has been traveling through your money sector making every financial decision feel heavy. On the 19th, Pluto exits this part of your chart (for the rest of your lifetime) opening up a whole new era for your resources and security. Embrace this new lightness when making cash flow decisions.

Capricorn

(December 22 - January 19)

  • New Moon in Scorpio (11/1): Quit that draining community project
  • Full Moon in Taurus (11/15): An unexpectedly sexy night
  • Other Key Dates: 11/4, 11/12, 11/11, 11/15, 11/22

November begins with a necessary pause. Your ruling planet Saturn has been retrograde, retracing his steps since late June. For you, these last few months have been about solidifying your schedule and integrating routines to build your confidence and worth. Saturn slows down to station direct on the 15th and as he changes direction so do you. Something that has taken up most of your time these past several months comes to a close. You might feel panicked about having so much free time. Instead of rushing to fill the void though, wait for a spark to see what’s next.

Love Horoscope: The next several months are going to force you to consider and reconsider how you show up in relationships. Any connection where power dynamics are out of balance has got to go. At the same time, you’re feeling fueled by your haters. Competition brings on healthy motivation in both your personal and professional life.

Money Horoscope: Power planet Pluto moves into your financial sector on the 19th marking the beginning of what will be decades of transformation for your cash flow. Think about the lessons you learned from March to June 2023 and January to August 2024 around money and resources. Now you can take those lessons and run with them into the future.

Aquarius

(January 20 - February 18)

  • New Moon in Scorpio (11/1): Power plays galore
  • Full Moon in Taurus (11/15): Urge to rearrange all of your furniture
  • Other Key Dates: 11/4, 11/12, 11/11, 11/15, 11/19, 11/22

It’s your power time, Aquarius. Transformation planet Pluto enters your sign on the 19th bringing on what will be two decades of evolution for your style, health and image. It’s time to take care of your body. Get swole! Look hot! But first comes a necessary reckoning with your finances. Your ruling planet Saturn slows down to station direct on the 15th bringing the last several months of reviewing your budgets to a close. The point isn’t to deny yourself pleasure but to save for the long game. Keep your plans cheap and simple for maximum joy.

Love Horoscope: Mars—planet of action and conflict—moves into your relationship sector on the 3rd and due to an upcoming retrograde will remain there through the new year. Things are about to get spicy in your closest connections in both exciting and terrifying ways. Be open to major rejuvenations.

Money Horoscope: As we already got into, money is tight this month, especially around the 15th when Saturn stations direct. You’ve been doing the good work with budgeting this year, and yet, you’re tempted to treat yourself. Instead of splurging on tickets out of town, put that money into your house fund. Future you will be grateful.

Pisces

(February 19 - March 20)

  • New Moon in Scorpio (11/1): A powerful message from someone you admire
  • Full Moon in Taurus (11/15): Wild night out in the neighborhood
  • Other Key Dates: 11/3, 11/15, 11/18

November is a heavy lift for you, Pisces. This goes for your professional life and also for your routines at the gym. But it’s also a wonderful time to rework a business plan, interview for jobs, and plan a party. Mercury spends the entire month (from the 2nd) in your career and public image sector putting you in direct conversation with VIPs and pushing you to do some public speaking. With Saturn stationing direct in your sign at the same time (exact on the 15th), you’re feeling a ton of pressure and responsibility. It’s exhausting to put yourself out there,  but remember that putting in the reps now will help things run smoothly in the long run.

Love Horoscope: You’re considering going home with your lover for the holidays and this has you constantly ruminating on whether this makes things “official.” Even if you haven’t had the official “talk,” things are feeling pretty partnered lately. When you get to the bar on the night before Thanksgiving, notice how they introduce you to their old friends. That should tell you everything.

Money Horoscope: November is for getting serious about a side hustle or monetizing a creative project. From now through the spring, you’re meant to experiment with your work/life balance and building wealth on your own terms. Throw a few things out there and see what sticks, you can always revise the plan later.
