If you don’t know what sign was rising when you were born, you can calculate your birth chart here to find out.

Mars exits Scorpio and segues into your worth zone on the 4th, and his presence there over the next six weeks could lead to spending sprees, possession purges or a drive to boost your income. You’re motivated to deal with your resources and acquire what you feel you need. Watch out for rash splurges if you’re trying to stick to a budget. Evaluate everything you have at your disposal, and use those assets as well as you can. A few hours later, a Mars-Uranus standoff can set off shockwaves in a close relationship. Maybe you’ll assert yourself to get your needs met and receive an unexpected reaction. Flexible demands will help to maintain a fair balance of power. If support is erratic, you may have to work harder to be self-sufficient. Give and take will be tricky, and someone could pull away when security is at stake. The Full Moon which lights up your interpersonal angle on November 5th can bring a relationship to a boiling point, and you might decide it’s time to go all in or you’re ready to walk away. Since this lunation calls for you to weigh your needs against those of others, it’s a good time to strike a healthy compromise. After Venus sashays into Scorpio on November 6th, you’ll feel more sociable, attractive and affectionate. Your magnetism and charm will draw people into your orbit, and you won’t have any trouble getting along with everyone and enjoying yourself. On the 7th, Uranus reverses into your partnership precinct for its final five and a half months there. It toured this part of your chart from 2018 until July 7th, shaking up your one-to-one bonds. With this anarchic planet backspinning, hopefully you’ll face fewer curveballs from other individuals, which should make for fewer jarring interactions. A whirlwind courtship or rollercoaster relationship may settle down for the next few months, giving you an opportunity to gain perspective on it. Emotional or domestic storm clouds can darken your mood when Venus squabbles with your ruler, intense Pluto, soon after. Ignoring the problem won’t help. To restore a sense of wellbeing, you need to face what’s going on inside you or in your home. You might relate to people in a rather destructive way if you fail to recognize the changes rumbling beneath the surface. After messenger Mercury pivots retrograde on the 9th, your financial judgment won’t be as sharp. You’d be wise to postpone big purchases and negotiations for a few weeks and go over your budget with a fine-tooth comb. It’s Jupiter’s turn to shift into reverse on the 11th. Over the next four months, your enthusiasm for new learning experiences could wane, and a publishing project, legal proceeding or travel plans may stall. You’re excited to explore uncharted territory, but now it’s time to contemplate the knowledge you’ve recently gained, search for personal meaning in your latest adventures and begin to form a philosophy around what you’ve seen and learned. Focus on your inner journey and personal growth if your impetus to branch out is unsuccessful. That being said, a Sun-Jupiter coalition on November 16th implies you’re capable of doing something you thought was out of reach, so have the courage to test your mettle. The self-assured Sun in Scorpio joins forces with mature Saturn in your live-out-loud fifth house on the 17th, encouraging you to continue on a path to personal fulfillment. Taking yourself—and perhaps your creative potential—seriously is vital to your individual development. If there’s something you’ve been working on that you’re ready to share, this would be a good time for getting constructive feedback. You’ll probably feel more optimistic now about the process of becoming a well-rounded, happy person. You’re able to radiate your personality and make an impact. With Mercury backing into Scorpio on the 18th, you’ll probably review personal matters in the coming days and will feel a bit tongue-tied. Don’t worry too much about being misunderstood. Focus on understanding yourself better. On the 20th, a New Moon lands in your sign, providing you with your annual invitation to reinvent yourself. Consider the image you project to others and ask yourself if the real you is coming across. If you’d like to bring a different part of yourself to the forefront, you might tweak your look or communication style accordingly. The idea is to make the impression you want to make while remaining true to yourself. You could also launch some kind of personal initiative or jump into a new experience with gusto. This lunation wants you to begin your new year with energy and confidence. A Sun-Uranus opposition on the 21st could rattle your ego if you take it as a direct challenge. It may seem personal if someone demonstrates unreliability, erratic behavior or a need for space, and you could feel threatened by instability in a relationship. Or perhaps you’re the one who’s restless and ambivalent and you’re projecting these feelings onto the other person. Maintaining healthy boundaries will help you sort out your own role in the situation. Does it seem like someone is forcing change on you? Make room for the element of surprise. You might experience a liberation or awakening of sorts. Less than an hour later, the Scorpio sun vibes with Neptune, indicating that being yourself—and maybe even being the center of attention—will fulfill a deep need to connect with others and experience joy. You can access the elusive, exquisite state of flow that takes you out of self-consciousness and allows you to simply be. Romance, play, creativity and spirituality are a few of the possible ingredients in your ideal recipe. That night, after the Sun leaves your sign and moves into your worth zone, some of your attention will shift from who you are to what you have and what you need. You’re apt to identify with your finances and possessions and should shine a light on your core values and priorities. Venus’s vibe with Jupiter on the 26th means the appeal of unfamiliar pleasures will be irresistible. Look for the positive in new experiences and different people. That night, Venus harmonizes with Saturn, making it easy to connect with others. If you meet someone new, the relationship is likely to be a healthy, stable one. Being willing to work on yourself will make you feel more satisfied and whole, and working on your relationships will cultivate love in your life. When Saturn shifts into first gear on November 27th after a four-and-a-half-month-long retrograde, you’ll feel a renewed determination to live a well-rounded life and might even decide to turn dating into more of a mission if you’re single and looking for a partner. Since the point is to take your own happiness seriously, you could also get serious about a particular romance or hobby. If you’ve struggled with a fertility issue, a creative block or a stalled love affair, Saturn’s U-turn may help resolve matters. And thanks to Mercury’s about-face in Scorpio on November 29th, the objectivity of your thinking and effectiveness of your communication are about to improve. If you’ve felt misjudged or made iffy choices recently, you can bring about a course correction. As Venus faces off with Uranus that night, someone new might pop into your life, you might enjoy a spontaneous flirtation or an existing relationship might be thrown off-kilter. FOMO can lead your eye to wander, which will probably have a ripple effect. If you’re in a solid relationship, spring a pleasant surprise on your S.O. or do something you’ve never done together. If your romance is on the rocks, one of you could seek a change now. A new connection can start off with a bang and fizzle out down the road, unless you’re seeking an unconventional arrangement. Be open to novel experiences and unusual people. Live in the present and don’t tighten your grip on anyone. Venus’s chemistry with Neptune on the 30th can inspire you to flirt, get dressed up, pour your heart out, pine for someone or indulge in as much fun, romance, fantasy or creativity as you please. This cosmic combo can lead you to fall in love, change your appearance or lose yourself in pleasure and passion. After Venus departs Scorpio and enters your worth zone hours later, your taste for nice things and your desire for security will increase. You should have an easy time attracting—and negotiating for—what you need in the next few weeks.

Once every couple of years, Mars tours your sign for about six weeks, lending you the drive to chase after personal goals. The red planet moves into Sagittarius on the 4th and will remain there until December 15th, firing you up to execute your agenda. You can get tons done, but try not to be domineering in your zeal to accomplish what you want to. Still, you needn’t hesitate to stand up for yourself and prove your mettle. You’re capable of competing and furthering your own interests now. When Mars faces off with unpredictable Uranus a few hours later, you might be going after what (or whom) you want, and someone throws a wrench in the works. If people aren’t being who you need them to be or doing what you want them to do, don’t push. Remember your agenda is yours alone, and they’re entitled to their own. The Full Moon on November 5th might indicate a health or job crisis or the completion of a project. It’s a good time to drop something from your schedule or to-do list, depending on what comes to a boil now. And this is the best lunation of the year for quitting a bad habit. Once Venus slips into your retreat corner on the 6th, you’ll crave more alone time and private time with your nearest and dearest. Uranus reverses into your work-and-wellness corner that night for its final five and a half months there. It toured this part of your chart from 2018 until July 7th, shaking up your everyday life. With the planet of chaos backtracking, you have an opportunity to evaluate stressors that make you feel frazzled. If you’ve taken on new responsibilities or experienced changes in your health, now’s the time to rely on routines that steady you. Letting go of an old love or making a sacrifice out of compassion could be difficult when Venus spars with Pluto soon after. It’s possible that your understanding isn’t complete enough for you to accept the situation. But if you start obsessing over a past or private attachment, you could cause yourself pain. Try to let feelings move through you instead of latching onto them and ruminating over them. Also be careful not to manipulate anyone or fixate out of jealousy. With Mercury pivoting retrograde in Sag on the 9th, it will become harder to get your message across. Postpone big decisions, and instead, rethink your personal choices and consider what you want to say when communication clears up in a few weeks. And try not to get too hung up on being misunderstood. After Jupiter does its own 180 on November 11th, outside resources won’t be as attainable for the next four months. If a partnership or psychological growth has been on the fast track lately, progress is likely to slow, but don’t lose hope. The pace will pick up again in March. In the meantime, you’d do well to ponder what change and support is really needed. The focalizing Sun syncs up with Jupiter on the 16th, coaxing you to spend some time alone contemplating life. You might gain insight into the way you tick. One-on-one time with someone special can bring moments of authenticity and acceptance that allow your connection to thrive. The Sun’s chemistry with timekeeper Saturn on November 17th prompts you to take stock of your life in the leadup to your birthday season. Follow your intuition regarding what to leave in the past and what to build on in the coming year. Take pride in how far you’ve come, and believe in your ability to become the person you were meant to be. After Mercury backpedals out of Sagittarius on the 18th, you’ll become even more circumspect. Pay close attention to your hunches and dreams in the next several days. You might reread old journals, rediscover a spiritual practice, reflect on the past and examine daydreams in an effort to understand yourself better. The New Moon of November 20th beckons you to start to let go of anything—or possibly anyone—that is likely to prevent you from experiencing the renewal of your birthday season. It’s a good time to begin a spiritual practice, a dream journal or something else that helps you to honor your spirit. You may want to retreat from the world and do some soul-searching. Although you’re trying to savor peace and quiet, a Sun-Uranus opposition on November 21st signals that you’ll be pulled into the real world by a quick turn of events like a health issue, an office crisis or a scheduling glitch. Juggling your workload and keeping up with changing circumstances may be a challenge. If you get stressed, take a break to unwind. Sleep—and any other practice that soothes your soul—will replenish you. You can get back on your grind when duty calls. Less than an hour later, a Sun-Neptune confab gives you a free pass to escape all the commotion and go in search of an environment that relaxes you. You could lose yourself in a meditation session or a head-clearing walk, and delicious food or home entertainment like music may hit the spot. If you’re not in the mood for alone time, you could invite a chill companion to join you. That night, the Sun’s arrival in Sagittarius marks the beginning of your birthday season and infuses you with vitality. It’s easy for you to make a strong impression now, as you’re exuding confidence and verve. Focus on yourself and ponder what you want out of the next year. On November 26th, Venus’s vibe with Jupiter convinces you to carve out alone time or private time with your favorite plus-one. You might make a kindhearted sacrifice for someone you care about and improve your bond. It’s worth it to let your guard down when Venus clicks with Saturn that night. You could end up taking care of a loved one—possibly a family member—blending reliability with a sweet dose of compassion. Emotional transparency might make you feel safe and secure, not scared and vulnerable, so overcome any fear of opening up. If you sense it’s time, shutting the door on a previous relationship will give you much-needed closure, drawing a line between your past and your present. Saturn shifts into first gear on November 27th, cueing you to make self-care a priority. He’s been backtracking since mid-July, nudging you to mull over private feelings and memories. Those could begin to crystallize now, so you might need a little extra TLC. After Mercury resumes forward motion on the 29th, your intuition will be on point, so give it its due. Introspection can reap rewards. When Venus opposes Uranus that night, you could do an impromptu favor out of selflessness, but you don’t want to feel too obligated. You need the choice to be yours and the freedom to say no if you’re going to help someone. You’re probably in the mood to hibernate, but something could come up that you have to deal with. If you’re able to make your own schedule, this planetary standoff will be simpler. A relationship problem calls for a fresh approach now. The simple pleasures of home and quiet time could hit the spot when Venus gels with Neptune on the 30th. Hole up in your space—either alone or with someone you’re comfortable with—and relish peaceful relaxation. If you find yourself in an introspective mood, you might try releasing an old love or healing a relationship wound. With Venus sashaying into Sag hours later, your charisma will skyrocket for the next few weeks. You’ll feel more sociable, attractive and on your game, and people are bound to take notice.

Your intuition can put you on the same wavelength with a group, so heed it. Be content with operating behind the scenes after Mars sneaks into your subliminal corner on the 4th and hides out there for the next six weeks. Working solo in a low-key setting is your best bet, and you might get involved in a selfless endeavor that benefits others. But you could grow frustrated and sabotage yourself, particularly if you’re seeking more recognition. The more aware you are of self-defeating tendencies, the better off you’ll be. Try not to slip into a regressive behavior pattern. Instead, confront your hidden motives. A few hours later, Mars goes toe to toe with erratic Uranus, issuing another warning to keep an eye on subconscious impulses so they don’t blindside you and disrupt your life. On the 5th, a Full Moon in your joy sector could bring a creative effort to fruition or generate epic fun. You need to play, express yourself and get your feelings out in the open. A love affair could reach new heights with this lunation, or it could come to an end if that is what best serves your growth. After Venus sails into your humanity house for on the 6th, you’ll want to be around plenty of people for the next few weeks—the more the merrier! Say yes to social occasions like parties and professional networking events. Plan nights out with friends too. You’ll enjoy large gatherings, especially ones with a philanthropic purpose. On November 7th, Uranus backs into your joy sector for its final five and a half months there. It was hanging out in this part of your chart from 2018 until July 7th, and with the planet of revolution in reverse now, any commotion related to children, creativity, hobbies, your love life or your individuality should be subdued for the next three months. Have you been all over the map trying to enjoy life, stand out, date or express what’s inside you? Slow down and contemplate the shakeups in your life over the last seven years. Ask yourself what makes you happy and where your heart lies. Venus spars with powerful Pluto less than an hour later, hinting that financial pressures could get in the way of group fun. Or a problem involving possessions, values, self-esteem or money might spark trouble in your crew. If you or a friend is playing the comparison game, envy is likely to rear its ugly head. Don’t fall into that trap. It will turn your social life into a competition. Messenger Mercury pivots retrograde on November 9th, pulling some of your attention inward. Now you can glean more information from your dreams, intuition, imagination and buried feelings than you can from the outside world. Communication won’t come easy, so don’t force it. Tune out the noise and tune into your soul. Jupiter begins its own backtracking phase in your interpersonal angle on November 11th, which might make you less optimistic about a committed relationship or the quality of people you’re meeting. Since June, hopefully you’ve had a fair amount of luck clicking with individuals who have something to offer. But for the next four months, you may not make quite as many connections. Start to narrow down the prospects who have legit long-term potential. Jupiter tends to favor quantity over quality. This is your chance to sift through the selection, homing in on the keepers. When the radiant Sun harmonizes with Jupiter on the 16th, you’ll feel inspired to get out and see people. You might enjoy a certain someone’s company or form an auspicious bond. Being your authentic self in a group can help you to connect with a potential friend or love interest who will enhance your life. Expressing yourself clearly to friends and other groups should come naturally on the 17th as the Sun syncs up with your ruler, steady Saturn, in your communication corner. You’re liable to learn from people or come across as a voice of authority yourself. You could also make beneficial contacts, so socializing can be productive, not just enjoyable. With Mercury reversing into your network zone on November 18th, you might reconnect with old friends, acquaintances and colleagues in the next week and a half. You could also rethink a new dream or review your various affiliations with groups. Stay away from gossip, as misunderstandings are par for the course now. After a New Moon activates that same part of your chart on November 20th, you might join an organization, make new friends, launch a philanthropic endeavor, get involved in a collaborative undertaking, do some networking or donate to a cause. It’s also a good time to expand the circle of people in your life. All of the above will be more straightforward next month when Mercury is back up to speed. The Sun’s faceoff with Uranus on the 21st can generate friction between fitting in and standing out. You’re prepared to play nice with others but may have an urge to shoot off on your own tangent, leaving teamwork in the dust. Or friendship and romance could prove to be a tricky mix. The Sun’s placement calls for you to integrate and cooperate, while Uranus tempts you to shake things up and do as you please. If you see a way to amuse yourself and still be a team player, go for it. If not, you might need to march to the beat of your own drummer temporarily. Luckily, there’s plenty of potential for impromptu fun with your squad. Plus, the Sun will join forces with no-boundaries Neptune less than an hour later, making it easier to get on the same page with people through empathy and honest communication. Expressing your personality and your kindheartedness will allow you to integrate successfully, especially if you focus on commonalities and play a role that serves the greater good. As the Sun sneaks into your twelfth house of release and retreat that night, your solar year starts winding down and your energy dips. The month before your birthday season is a time for recharging your battery and reflecting on the past year. A Venus-Jupiter tête-à-tête on November 26th can help you have a great time socializing or help a friendship to take off. Either outcome will lift your spirits. That night’s Venus-Saturn encounter makes it easy for you to socialize and click with a group. You’re meant to learn from other people now, form or strengthen lasting connections, express yourself honestly and discuss substantial matters. Saturn wraps up his retrograde on the 27th, gradually restoring clarity and perhaps nudging you toward a decision. If you’ve been ruminating over something that doesn’t hold water, your ruling planet’s pivot should help you figure out what’s real and doable and what’s not. Mercury’s direct turn on the 29th improves group communication, nudging you to clear up any misunderstandings that have arisen recently. However, with Venus and Uranus going head to head that night, you could digress from a group and pursue your own pleasure. You won’t have as much trouble getting along with others if you have the freedom to do as you please at times. Romantic sparks with a friend or spontaneous fun with your squad will satisfy your need for excitement. Thankfully, you can connect with people in an effortless, organic way when Venus in flirts with Neptune on November 30th. You’ll be able to relate to almost anyone, especially when you trust your instincts and pick up on subtle signals. Don’t be afraid to show your sentimental side. Everyone’s likely to be extra receptive. After Venus slips into the last house of your chart to join the Sun there, you’ll feel less outgoing and will crave alone time and private with loved ones.

Doing good will make you feel good about yourself. After Mars cruises into your humanity house on the 4th, teamwork will be a winning strategy for the next month and a half. The best way to pursue your interests and achieve your goals now is to collaborate with kindred spirits. It’s a good time to do things that benefit other people, so you might join forces on a philanthropic endeavor like a holiday donation drive. Find ways to coordinate your own needs and aims with those of others. A few hours later, Mars faces off with rebellious Uranus, suggesting you might need a brief break from people. Try to find a balance between going your own way and cooperating with others. Romance, fun or creative expression could cause you to veer off in another direction, but you could also make a unique contribution that reroutes a group effort. The Full Moon of November 5th could generate a blowup on the home front, a big mood swing or a family matter you need to deal with. If you’ve been ultra-focused on personal goals or making professional progress, this lunation can compel you to find a healthier work/life balance. After Venus arrives in your ambition angle on November 6th, you’ll naturally turn on the charm with higher-ups and can gain favor that advances your career or enhances your reputation. Doing creative work and playing nice with colleagues can also help you polish your image. On November 7th, Uranus backs into your fourth house of domesticity and sensitivity for its final five and a half months there. It was hanging out in this part of your chart from 2018 until July 7th, bringing changes that disrupted your home life and/or family. The chaos should be more subdued while your ruling planet is in reverse for the next three months, giving you a chance to get your bearings and examine your foundation. Perhaps you leapt into something involving your living situation and need to reassess it. Or your mood hasn’t been on an even keel, and you could use a breather to consider what’s knocked you off-balance. What can you change in order to feel more comfortable in your space and in your own skin? Don’t act on it yet. Venus elbows intense Pluto in Aquarius an hour or so later, implying that a need to be in control can affect your image and prevent you from making a good impression. Instead of obsessing over who’s in the driver’s seat, demonstrate your people skills. If you don’t have a great relationship with an authority figure, figure out how to improve it. You know what you want. You just need to modify your approach to avoid stepping on toes. With Mercury going retrograde on the 9th, crossed wires among friends or another group can cause misunderstandings. Steer clear of gossip, back up your devices and postpone buying tech for a few weeks. You could reconnect with an old pal or find yourself contemplating who you want in your inner circle. Social media might be a minefield, so be sure to practice good netiquette. With Jupiter shifting into reverse for four months on the 11th, your daily life won’t be as fast-paced, so you can catch your breath. You’ve taken on a lot, and now it’s time to evaluate which assignments and obligations mean the most to you—and what skills you need to develop in order to thrive. If you have too much on your plate, start scaling back and learn to say no without feeling guilty. When the confident Sun dovetails with Jupiter on the 16th, your positive work ethic will reflect well on you. Seek meaning in what you’re doing and seize the opportunities that resonate with you. You can catch the attention of power players when you take pride in a job well done. You don’t need to go out of your way to promote yourself now. Your work will speak for itself. A Sun-Saturn conference on the 17th implies that shining in your profession or in public goes hand in hand with taking your talents seriously and knowing what your top priorities are. Ideally, making a good impression on decision makers and working hard to shore up your security will come together now. But after Mercury backs into your ambition angle on November 18th, career planning, communication with authority figures and articulating your objectives will be challenging for the next week and a half. Try reviewing your goals, revising a business plan, researching career paths and rethinking your PR. The New Moon in that part of your chart on November 20th can prompt you to set new goals. You might soon start a fresh chapter in your career, take on a higher-profile role or assume bigger responsibilities. The Sun’s standoff with Uranus on the 21st could spell a sudden change in your family or home environment that sets you back on your heels and requires you to improvise. You might need to give yourself an out if you’re feeling antsy. You’re focused on achieving your goals, but you also need to deal with what’s going on in your private life or inside you. If you ignore it, it’s liable to intrude at an inopportune moment. Less than an hour later, the Sun’s harmony with Neptune will help you shine in a professional or public arena and feel good about yourself for excelling. Strive to prove what you’re made of. Your creative gifts or selfless intentions may earn acclaim. Aspire to align your highest values and your ambitions. After the Sun soars into your humanity house that night, you’ll be inclined to identify strongly with your tribe. Team up with like-minded people and funnel your energy into group efforts you care about. A Venus-Jupiter tête-à-tête on November 26th makes it easier for you to get along with authority figures—including parents—and to enjoy the pleasures of learning and productivity. That night’s Venus-Saturn encounter implies that self-promotion and good PR can strengthen your belief in your ability to become self-sufficient. Make sure to use your assets and resources wisely. You can show creative flair and attract well-connected people and favorable opportunities now, reminding you that success isn’t only about putting your nose to the grindstone. Saturn finishes up his retrograde on the 27th, which can stabilize your finances and get your priorities in order. If your self-esteem has been waning lately, take stock of everything you have going for you and build yourself back up with a serious pep talk. On the 29th, Mercury also resumes forward motion, ensuring smoother communication with authority figures and savvier career planning. If you feel you’ve misrepresented yourself recently, soon you can clarify matters. But when Venus moves into an opposition with Uranus that night, a sudden development at home or a mood swing can force you to take time off from polishing your image, playing nice and ingratiating yourself with people who have power over you. Stay flexible. If domestic disruptions or unruly emotions get the best of you, you might lose face. Keep your feelings in check and find ways to balance competing agendas. This opposition also pushes you to break out of an old pattern so you can attain a certain status or achieve a goal. A Venus-Neptune confab on the 30th coaxes you to tap into hidden talents and work for the love of what you’re doing. By doing so, you can make a positive impression and perhaps secure valuable contacts. Neptune beckons you to transcend financial motives and honor the gifts you’ve been given. After Venus dances into your network sector several hours later, you’ll feel much more sociable for the next few weeks and will have an easy time getting on the same wavelength with friends and groups.

Your ambition shifts into overdrive when Mars enters your achievement angle for a six-week tour. You’re motivated to put your plans in motion and pursue big goals. If possible, work independently and channel your energy into projects that mean a lot to you. Mars doesn’t like answering to anyone, and neither will you now. Since you could step on toes while climbing the ladder, be aware of how you’re coming across. When Mars goes head to head with erratic Uranus a few hours later, try not to let domestic or emotional turbulence sidetrack your effort to achieve something. Keep impulsiveness in check and call a timeout if you need to deal with a situation in your personal life. The Full Moon on November 5th could trigger information overload and make you feel pulled in a hundred different directions. If there’s too much coming at you simultaneously, take a deep breath and tackle one thing at a time. A development involving a sibling or your neighborhood could come to your attention as well. With Venus bursting into your expansion zone on November 6th, the appeal of difference grows. Exposure to a wide variety of people, arts and cultures can offer immense pleasure during the next few weeks. You might get involved in a long-distance romance, have a vacation fling or find yourself drawn to someone you’d normally swipe left on. Uranus backs into your thinking-and-talking corner for its final five and a half months there on the 7th. It was hanging out in this part of your chart from 2018 until July 7th, bringing changes that disrupted your mindset and interactions. Anxiety-inducing chaos should be more subdued for the next three months due to the backspin. If processing unexpected information and adapting to a new reality has frayed your nerves, now you can review what you’ve learned and assimilate the disruptive developments of the last seven years. When Venus battles powerful Pluto in your subliminal sector later that night, you might hold onto anger or jealousy and not take a chance on someone new as a result. Or maybe you’re secretly obsessing over a person or pleasure that seems like a stretch. Honoring the intensity of your feelings is a good start. If hidden pain, self-sabotage or past problems are thwarting your desire to enjoy new and different experiences, confronting your demons and overcoming your fears will allow you to sample more of what life has to offer. Messenger Mercury’s retrograde turn on the 9th will complicate communication with authority figures. Watch your tone, and review your goals instead of publicizing them. You might revise a business plan or rethink your career path, aligning them with your current circumstances and identity. Jupiter shifts into reverse on the 11th, suggesting that romance, fun and creativity will feel harder to come by. But they’re not going to disappear from your life! This is a period for asking yourself what—and perhaps who—brings you joy. The vibrant Sun’s chemistry with Jupiter on November 16th encourages you to get out into the world and shift your perspective. Express your inner artiste in a bold way. A change of scenery and trying new things can raise your consciousness, teach you about yourself, help you grow and even enhance your love life. The Sun harmonizes with committed Saturn in Pisces on November 17th, confirming the importance of broadening your horizons. Travel, learning, new experiences and different people can all foment the process of self-definition you’ve been undergoing in the last few years. Make a point of getting out of your routine and exploring uncharted territory. After Mercury backs into your exploration corner on the 18th, you might edit something for publication, review a subject you already studied, reconsider your beliefs and opinions and try to regain perspective. Ride out delays and detours when traveling. Revisiting a place may prove easier than going somewhere for the first time. A New Moon on November 20th can prompt you to take a leap of faith. You’re primed for adventure, and big trip would do you good. If you can’t get away anytime soon, broaden your mind by embarking on a new course of study or embracing unfamiliar experiences you’ll learn from. This is a great time to embrace a personal philosophy that encourages you to grow. A disagreement may arise out of nowhere when the Sun opposes Uranus on the 21st. Stop and ask yourself if you really feel so strongly about this issue. Choose your battles wisely because petty arguments will take up valuable real estate in your head. On the flipside, an intelligent debate could be educational and enlightening, and fresh insights can push you out of your habitual mindset. Just take things in without jumping to conclusions. You might also meet someone unexpectedly thanks to this planetary pairing. The Sun’s sync-up with Neptune less than an hour later could bring a spiritual awakening of sorts or cause you to learn something cathartic. You could have an adventure you’ve dreamed of or an experience that inspires you to dream bigger. Since this combo can expand your consciousness, be careful not to succumb to illusions. It can be challenging to filter what you’re taking in when permeable Neptune is in your sign. After the Sun soars into your ambition angle that night, you’re poised to make a splash in your profession or in public and boost your standing. Keep a high profile in the month ahead. Venus clicks with Jupiter on November 26th, continuing the theme that comforting familiarity is not the way to go. Adventures will be incredibly fulfilling and possibly romantic. There’s more to life than sticking to the tried and true. Take a chance for the sake of your own happiness. Venus links with Saturn in Pisces that night, doubling down on the theme of broadening your horizons. You might date someone you’d normally take a pass on, visit someplace new or experience an unfamiliar pleasure. Thanks to Saturn’s stabilizing influence, following a whim won’t be all that risky, so go ahead and color outside the lines. Saturn wraps up its retrograde on November 27th, clearing a path for you to navigate. Your priorities will begin to gel, and you’ll start to see a way forward. Now you can put together a game plan that’s even more workable and airtight than the last one, as you likely discovered some cracks recently. Soon you’ll be back on solid ground, Pisces. On the 29th, Mercury also shifts into first gear. Now travel, education and intellectual debates won’t be so fraught with detours, delays and misinterpretation. The big picture should start to fall into place, as recent revelations gel. Be patient while the meaning gradually becomes clearer. That night’s Venus-Uranus opposition hints that something or someone you previously rejected could suddenly be your jam. There’s also a chance you’ll take an impromptu trip with your significant other or say yes to a long-distance relationship. Be open to gratifying experiences that are both unfamiliar and eye-opening. Venus’s synergy with Neptune on November 30th takes this theme a step further, suggesting that sampling a broad range of life’s pleasures will facilitate a transcendent experience—or at the very least, a lovely escape. Revel in unfamiliar joys and be your dreamy self. But since new love and happiness can have a profound effect on you now, wait until your feet are back on solid ground before you take any huge leaps. Several hours later, Venus arrives at the peak of your chart, bringing success with creative work during the next few weeks. You can also effortlessly turn on the charm around authority figures to make a favorable impression.

After Mars blasts into your exploration corner on the 4th, your appetite for adventure grows. Between now and mid-December, you’ll be more inclined to take risks. You’re on a quest to have unfamiliar experiences that broaden your mind, so get out there and break new ground. You also have the courage to fight for truth and justice, making this a good time to become active in a cause. A few hours later, Mars goes toe to toe with unpredictable Uranus, which may instigate a sudden difference of opinion. Choose your battles wisely, listen well and be open to changing your mind. Beliefs can be limiting, and this is a good transit for pushing their boundaries so you can expand your perspective. Don’t take huge chances on a whim, but do set off on an impromptu trip or adventure if the opportunity arises. On the 5th, a Full Moon in your fiscal zone could trigger retail therapy, since there’s little distinction between your emotions and your needs now. Curb splurges if you’re trying to stick to a tight budget. Your earnings or your confidence could also surge with this lunation. Venus dives into your depth-and-merging realm on the 6th, bringing a craving for closeness and mingling emotions with sex. For the next few weeks, you’ll want what you want with extra intensity. Uranus reverses into your worth house on the 7th for its final five and a half months there. It was hanging out here from 2018 until July 7th, causing ups and downs in your finances or confidence. They shouldn’t be as pronounced during the retrograde, which lasts for another three months. Now you have an opportunity to mull over the best way forward. An hour or so later, as Venus tangles with powerful Pluto, you might experience a clash between your personal life and your social life. Be careful to avoid emotional blackmail if you find yourself on either end of it. You want to feel close to someone, but a strong bond might somehow trigger trouble in a group now. It’s also possible that a changing friendship will cause you pain. After messenger Mercury pivots retrograde on the 9th, perplexing debates may spark up, and you’d do well to seek fresh perspective. This is an excellent time to weed out prejudices as you examine your views. Be patient with travel and education-related glitches. Revisiting and relearning are bound to be easier. As Jupiter follows suit on the 11th, reversing course for the next four months, your underlying sense of security and comfort may be affected, and a positive development in your home life could be delayed. You might begin to question putting down new roots and find yourself pondering where you belong. While family support may not be quite as forthcoming, it’s a good time to mull over what you need in order to feel at peace and at home. The radiant Sun’s link with Jupiter on November 16th hints that holing up at home with someone special or devoting time to self-care will replenish your energy and boost your mood. On the 17th, the Sun meshes with serious Saturn in your twelfth house of endings and release. Delve into something and see it through to completion. Work through an issue in your psyche and let it go. Or conquer limiting fears and share your true self with another person. You’re naturally inclined to jump ahead and explore new territory, but now you’re called to go deeper into what’s already going on. After Mercury backs into your depth-and-merging realm on the 18th, you might try turning some of your attention to a sticky financial issue, a research project or a psychological hurdle like an obsession or loss. If your mind drifts to an ex-lover, keep in mind that reconnection can get complicated. The New Moon of November 20th can empower you to turn an emotional corner and recover from a crisis or wound, emerging stronger than ever. The symbolic rebirth of a phoenix rising from the ashes is one possible manifestation of this lunation. A new sex partner could on the way, or you might tap into a fresh outside resource (like a loan or a grant) or pay off debt. Your money or your confidence could take a hit when the Sun and Uranus lock into an opposition on November 21st. Conversely, financial or personal insecurity could get in the way of sharing. Are you anxious for support? Try to keep your expectations on a more even keel if you can. Don’t take what you’re getting—or not getting—from someone too personally. And if an impulse to be self-sufficient makes interdependence almost impossible, do your best to avoid stubbornness and selfishness. You can get back on course, probably in a more interesting way than if you hadn’t hit this bump to begin with. Less than an hour later, the Sun syncs up with Neptune, coaxing you to keep focusing intently on a passion project, a close relationship or a private process. Your investment can bring peace and healing. You’re attuned to subtleties, and your imagination and intuition can lead to fruitful revelations. Understanding yourself deeply—or sharing your real self with another person—can help you let go of a need to steer the ship. Trusting in the universe will make you feel more connected to your divine destiny. After the Sun sails into your expansion corner that night, you’re inspired to broaden your horizons. Seek out learning experiences in the month ahead that will enable you to grow. As Venus harmonizes with Jupiter on the 26th, your underlying desire for security and comfort can facilitate intimacy or self-love. Your personal life needs to be a priority, so don’t hesitate to hunker down at home. Venus’s flirtation with Saturn that night coaxes you to overcome private hangups or close the book on an old relationship in order to enjoy a close connection with a partner or friend. Self-love can also be a theme with this planetary configuration. You may need a reminder that guilt doesn’t serve anyone. Don’t beat yourself up for the mistakes you’ve made. The universe wants you to release whatever is burdening your soul and welcome more love into your life. With Saturn resuming forward motion on the 27th after spending several months retrograde, you can get a spiritual practice back on track or start to feel more at peace after unpacking emotional baggage. If you’re playing a martyr or victim role somewhere in your life, work on maintaining firmer boundaries. Mercury finishes up its own backspin on the 29th, allowing you to get a firmer grasp on your recent discoveries. When Venus opposes Uranus that night, you might be torn between a desire for intimacy and anxiety over getting what you need. Fluctuations in confidence or finances can create a power imbalance. Try loosening up your requirement and being more open to what others are offering. You or someone important to you might need more space. Consider whether you’re leaning on a person partly because you’re worried about what you lack or what you might lose. A greater degree of independence could ultimately make you feel more secure. Venus forms an alliance with Neptune on November 30th, generating a spiritual vibe. The themes of emotional healing and soulful intimacy become even more prominent, and your experience with this planetary energy is likely to be rather private. Closeness with another individual and quiet solo reflection can both soothe you, so sneak off and dig into deep feelings. After Venus bursts into your exploration corner several hours later though, you’ll be more inclined to enjoy a wide array of pleasures. You might date people who are different from you or different from your usual type. Or you could become interested in an unfamiliar culture or art form. Thinking outside the box will allow you to sample more of what life has to offer.

Mars dives into your depth-and-merging zone on the 4th, revving up your libido and narrowing your focus to what (and whom) you’re most passionate about. Dig into the projects and relationships that matter the most to you and give them your all. You could also get involved in intensive research and brave psychological exploration during the next six weeks. A few hours later, a Mars-Uranus opposition suggests neediness or insecurity can complicate closeness. You might lash out at someone, particularly if you’re anxious about getting your needs met or you don’t want to be weighed down. If you’re alone, facing something in your psyche can yield insights that have the power to shift your self-image. When Taurus hosts the Full Moon on November 5th, you might be flooded with feels and need extra TLC or alone time. Whatever you require, ask for it diplomatically and do your best to balance your needs with those of others. If you’re emotionally overwhelmed, that state can help you identify something (or possibly someone) who isn’t good for you and do what’s best for you. After Venus arrives in your interpersonal angle on the 6th, you’ll enjoy the company of other individuals, so make a point of connecting one on one. It’s easy to compromise, make peace and show affection in the next few weeks. Unpredictable Uranus backs into Taurus on the 7th for its final five and a half months there after hanging in your sign from 2018 until July 7th. With the pace of change being slowed by this retrograde (which lasts until February 3rd, 2026), your anxiety and anticipation won’t be as heightened as they were before. If you’ve been grappling with the competing interests of an area of dissatisfaction in your life and a fear of change, you can weigh your options for the best path to take next year. Test them out in your head. Which of the possibilities that you’re playing with will have lasting value? This is a period for catching your breath, so don’t feel like you have to leap into action. Venus’s discord with powerful Pluto an hour or so later can cause trouble in a relationship if you’re jealous of someone’s success or worried about whether you and someone close to you are headed in the same direction. Maybe you’re fixated on a goal, or one of you is acting dominant. Compromise can restore interpersonal equilibrium. Mercury turns retrograde on the 9th, which can mess with communication in an intimate relationship. You might reminisce about an ex or reflect on a painful loss. Restarting an investigation or research project can be fruitful now. Once Jupiter begins its own four-month-long backspin on November 11th, you won’t keep up the same fast pace you’ve enjoyed lately, interacting with lots of people, making new contacts, speaking freely, thinking big and hatching optimistic plans. You might trim grand ideas and dial down your enthusiasm, pausing to weigh what you should invest in going forward. The vibrant Sun is in cahoots with Jupiter on November 16th, so you have a good chance of getting on the same wavelength with someone and being seen for who you really are. Keep an open mind and speak up. Other individuals can inspire and inform you, so make the effort to connect one on one. A Sun-Saturn confab on the 17th also fosters productive interactions with people. They can help you to firm up new goals and continue to build a supportive circle. Professional networking could yield new contacts, while social encounters with kindred spirits will strengthen your resolve and energize you. After Mercury backs into your relationship realm on November 18th, you may get into more misunderstandings and perhaps revisit an old conflict. Make better use of this time by contemplating your connections and maybe rethinking the terms of one. The New Moon of November 20th alludes to the possibility that a new partnership of some sort could be on the horizon. If you’re already in one, maybe it’s about to get more serious. The Sun’s standoff with Uranus in Taurus on the 21st can make you impatient with the compromises that are part of relationships. Restlessness can cause you to pull away from someone who’s important to you. If you’re itching for your independence, you may need to take a break. There’s a chance you’ll want to break up rather than call timeout, but don’t do anything radical. You’re better off pondering your relationship dynamic without necessarily making a major move to change it just yet. A healthy bond will bend when such shake-ups occur. You might have a revelation about who you are in your relationships and whether that role suits the person you’re becoming. Consider teaming up for a humanitarian cause when the Sun joins forces with Neptune on soon after that. Common ideals will bring people together, and you’ll draw energy from serving a higher purpose. That night, the Sun dips into your depth-and-merging realm, adding further fuel to your focus on a close relationship, passion project or private emotional matter in the month ahead. A Venus-Jupiter encounter on the 26th encourages you to stay positive and consider a change of scenery to lift your mood and elevate a bond. Expressing your love and affection without reservations will also work wonders. That night’s Venus-Saturn vibe can help you meet dating prospects through technology or people you already know if you’re single and looking for a plus-one. Common interests, objectives and ideals can act as a conduit. Or you could fall for someone while traveling or studying. If you’re seeing someone, you might socialize as a couple, share an adventure or trip or sign up for a class together. Once Saturn finally finishes up his retrograde on November 27th, rallying the troops and connecting with people won’t be as much of a struggle. Group projects should also come out of limbo shortly. On the 29th, Mercury also resumes forward motion, promoting diplomatic dialogue that will enable you to get on the same page, especially if you need to clear up recent miscommunication. It’s much easier to resolve your differences when the messenger planet is back in gear. That being said, you might veer off in your own direction when Venus moves into an opposition with Uranus in Taurus. Rather than making an abrupt exit, create breathing room so you won’t feel the urge to escape. You’re in the mood for companionship, but your need for autonomy can make it seem like you have to choose one or the other. Find ways to be your own person and still maintain important bonds. Your desire for space might spur you to flirt with someone other than your partner just to shake things up. The ways in which you’ve changed are bound to affect your closest connections. You’ve become more open to different experiences, and that can create excitement in healthy relationships. If you meet someone new now, you might have instant chemistry. But there’s no telling if the two of you will go the distance. Venus meshes with Neptune on November 30th, dropping hints that a platonic friendship might evolve into a romance. Or you might feel a deep connection—maybe even a soulmate vibe—with someone in your extended circle. This could also be the beginning of a creative partnership or significant friendship. Several hours later, Venus continues the march of planets into your depth-and-merging realm, increasing your craving for closeness in the next few weeks. You’ll want to spend quality time with your significant other or another person you trust, such as a best friend.

After Mars enters your interpersonal angle, your most productive strategy will be to partner with other individuals on projects and activities. You won’t get as much done flying solo, so reach out to people and propose collaborations. In the next six weeks, you can get relationship conflicts out in the open and work through them together. However, with Mars opposing Uranus in Gemini a few hours later, a close connection might be disrupted if an urge for personal space arises. It could suddenly feel like cooperating will curtail your freedom. Or maybe someone will have a strong reaction to your need for independence—or to the changes you’re going through. Being the agent of change in your own life can keep Uranus from totally upending it, so embrace the spirit of revolution. A Full Moon could bring a secret to light on the 5th or cause you to crave solitude. Offset busyness with downtime and spiritual fulfillment. After Venus segues into your efficiency corner on the 6th, you could start to appreciate feeling helpful and productive, and you can get along well with colleagues. Working on a relationship problem or dealing with practical matters in a relationship will also come naturally. Uranus exits your sign on the 7th, backing into the last house in your chart for his final five and a half months there. From 2018 to July 7th, his presence there disrupted your subconscious. But the current retrograde (which lasts until early February 2026) should give you some breathing room. You had revelations about what needed to end and perhaps liberated yourself from unhealthy relationships and self-defeating patterns of behavior. Process any remaining messages in dreams, sneaky suspicions and lightning-bolt epiphanies. A spiritual practice or psychotherapy should be cathartic now. Venus’s scuffle with powerful Pluto an hour or so later can make it harder for you to enjoy your work if you feel it doesn’t have enough depth and meaning. Strong opinions can also get in the way of peaceful relations with coworkers. Embrace the concept that there’s more than one right way of doing things. Your ruler, messenger Mercury, goes retrograde on November 9th, scrambling signals in one-on-one communication. Give people the benefit of the doubt instead of assuming. You might rehash old fights without reaching any new understanding. But reviewing your relationships and your agreements with others—explicit and implicit—will be worth it. Jupiter’s U-turn on November 11th could stall a source of income temporarily, and you might scale back your spending. Belongings and money have had an easy-come-easy-go feel lately, but they won’t flow so freely during the next four months. Get a better grasp on your personal values and priorities, defining what’s most important to you. The energizing Sun’s harmony with Jupiter on November 16th suggests your hard work will pay off. Stay humble, doing what needs to be done, and use your full range of talents to do the best job possible. That approach may earn you more notice and money than overt self-promotion will. Plus, accomplishing tasks will make you feel better about yourself. A coalition between the confident Sun and committed Saturn on the 17th will help you to feel like you’re getting somewhere. Hopefully, you’ll see evidence now of the progress you’ve made over the last few years. After Mercury backpedals into your efficiency corner on the 18th, mix-ups at work and scheduling snafus are to be expected, and details could get overlooked. In the next week and a half, you might try revising your to-do list, researching jobs, reviewing your habits and taking stock of your health. A New Moon there on the 20th invites you to launch a self-improvement campaign that enhances your health, your productivity and your quality of life. You might start a job search; learn a skill; implement a positive habit; begin a new diet or fitness regimen; make medical appointments; get on a better schedule; organize your workspace; or adopt a pet in the weeks ahead. But hold off on big decisions and initiatives until Mercury gets back in gear the following week. The Sun glides into a standoff with Uranus on November 21st implies your efforts to get tons done may be waylaid by something unforeseen. Be prepared for detours. Anything from a sudden whim to consequences coming back to bite you can throw you off course. It’s also possible that another person will undermine you—or you’ll inadvertently undermine yourself. An unconscious urge to rebel could be at the root of all this. Call timeout if you need a break from the action. Avoid an overreaction like snapping at people who may not be the cause of disruption. Try to find a balance between control and surrender. Luckily, you can enjoy the fruits of your labor when the Sun in your gels with Neptune in your ambition angle less than an hour later, giving you a lovely sense of being in a natural state of flow. Creative and spiritually inspired work will flourish under this influence. After the Sun sails into your interpersonal angle that night, you’ll shift even more of your attention to your connections with other individuals. People have the power to energize you, so don’t go it alone too much in the month ahead. As Venus gels with Jupiter on November 26th, your creativity and confidence both get a welcome boost. A job well done can help you feel good about yourself, and liking what you’re doing can enhance your capacity to provide for yourself. Your creative work or service to others could earn accolades several hours later when Venus syncs up with Saturn. If you have a crush on someone you work with, someone who’s older than you, or a person you look up to, it might turn into something real now. If you’re already attached, you can make significant headway in your relationship, especially if you’re working on a problem between you. After Saturn powers forward on the 27th, recognition will be more forthcoming. If you’ve been questioning where you’re headed, now you can begin to formulate a more definite plan for success. As you work on defining success for yourself, you’ll continue to sense the potential for progress. On the 29th, Mercury also resumes forward motion, which should straighten out everyday glitches and improve your attention to detail. Now you can dot the i’s and cross the t’s to get back on track. When Venus goes toe to toe with Uranus that same night, even if you’re enjoying what you’re doing, you’re liable to get distracted here and there. You might undermine yourself unconsciously if you don’t allow for diversions. Find alternate ways to get things done. Take periodic breaks and give intuitive flashes their due. Your best ideas may not be fully formed yet. If you’re collaborating with someone, pay attention to the side of you that secretly wants to rock the boat. And if another person or circumstances beyond your control seem to be working against you, notice how you might be unconsciously colluding with the shakeup. A flirtation may appear to come out of nowhere but has probably been brewing beneath the surface for a while. Since Venus is meshing with Neptune on November 30th, you should be able to get along famously with people, even if they have power over you. You can gain a sense of purpose from being of service to others and from doing creative work. If you combine a positive work ethic with selfless devotion to a calling, you’re likely to discover more meaning in your mission. Hours later, Venus dances into your interpersonal angle, which will also help you to stay in sync with people. You can easily step into the role of peacemaker in the next few weeks.

Going after what you desire and living life to the fullest will elevate your state of mind. After Mars treks into your efficiency corner on the 4th, you’ll devote a lot of energy to taking care of business in the six weeks that follow. This is a time for buckling down and getting to work, and you’re motivated to do just that. Tackle everyday duties and assignments at your job, exercise regularly and get a rush out of being productive and useful. You may not receive tons of credit for your efforts, but you’ll gain satisfaction from accomplishing what’s necessary and clearing your plate. When Mars opposes erratic Uranus a few hours later, you’re likely to get distracted and will probably need a break. Even a quick mental escape should do the trick. Guard against your own subconscious urges and proceed with caution around potentially disruptive people. Either can undermine your efforts or create tremors in the workplace. Identify some flexibility in your schedule so you can liberate yourself from the daily grind and savor a few moments of peace. On November 5th, a Full Moon could spell drama in your squad, or a friend may lean on you for support. You might feel done with a particular friendship or group and decide to step back. A philanthropic endeavor or team project can reach fruition now. Venus’s arrival in your joy sector on November 6th can inject more romance, fun, creativity and passion into your life over the next few weeks. Uranus backs into your network zone on the 7th for its final five and a half months there. It was hanging in this part of your chart from 2018 until July 7th, shaking up your group affiliations, friendships and ties to various peers. You’ll feel like all that is up for review again during this retrograde, which lasts for another three months. Ask yourself who you want on your team going forward. Fluctuations in the company you keep will stabilize, giving you a chance to reassess. An hour or so later, Venus’s disagreement with powerful Pluto hints at a clash between fun romance and weighty commitment. Maybe part of you wants to keep things lighthearted, and a relationship is getting really intense. Jealousy, sex, mistrust or psychological turmoil could be complicating matters and making you feel less playful. While you shouldn’t gloss over what needs to change, be careful not to exert control over another person. After communicator Mercury shifts into reverse on the 9th, try to edit yourself at work since crossed wires on the job could pose problems. You’re liable to overlook details, so be prepared to double back and correct yourself later. Thankfully, this is a good time to reapply for a position, revise a project, relearn a skill, and revamp your routine. Jupiter does its own U-turn on the 11th, which will change the tone of its trip through Cancer. When Jupiter’s grandiose energy goes underground, you might feel less sure of yourself and catch a few less lucky breaks. But Jupiter still has your back! Examine the growth spurt you’ve undergone since June and notice the blessings—some of them might be in disguise. Ponder the direction you’re heading in and ask yourself if your aspirations reflect your personal standards or those of society. Your inner wisdom overrides external circumstances now, so seek the paths that feel true to you. The radiant Sun syncs up with Jupiter on November 16th, enabling you to express your individuality freely and pushing you out the door to enjoy life. Show off a little and spend time with loved ones doing what makes you happy. The Sun’s vibe with mature Saturn in your expansion realm on November 17th echoes the theme of personal growth. Through love, creativity and various playful pursuits, you can learn more about life. Cultivating different sides of yourself will make you a more well-rounded person, enrich your experiences and give you a broader outlook. As you express more of the real you, the world may start to take on a different shape, subsequently shifting your path in it. With Mercury backing into your fifth house of personal fulfillment on the 18th, conveying your feelings, personality and humor feels like more of a gamble. In the next week and a half, you could reread for pleasure, rediscover a hobby and reminisce about a past love. A New Moon lands in that house on the 20th, coaxing you to cultivate a new source of pleasure like a creative project. This lunation encourages you to explore different avenues to love and happiness. Show off your talents and welcome more romance and fun into your life. Give people leeway to do their own thing when the Sun stages a standoff with Uranus on November 21st. Love or friendship could heat up and then cool down. You might be sending mixed messages, or someone could throw you for a loop with their push-pull behavior. Keep doing your thing, but bear in mind it may be harder to pursue personal pleasure if a friend or group is acting out. Speak up if you need more freedom instead of pulling a disappearing act. Less than an hour later, the Sun joins forces with Neptune, alluding to the transcendent joy of being yourself and doing what pleases you. Now you can express who you are and what you feel without reservations. The Sun enters your efficiency corner that night, giving you even more energy to get a lot done and motivating you to do everything to the best of your ability. But as Venus meshes with Jupiter in your sign on the 26th, you’ll lead with your heart and make personal fulfillment a top priority. You deserve to be happy and loved, and focusing on your own growth isn’t selfish. Venus’s confab with Saturn that night also gives you a green light to enjoy yourself. Having a good time can even boost your faith in the future and teach you something. Indulge in life’s pleasures, Crab! Saturn will help you to calculate any risks you take now. With Saturn resuming forward motion on the 27th, you’ll soon find it easier to turn your vision into a reality and make plans for the future. Problems connected with travel and education should also start to subside. Then Mercury follows suit, getting back in gear on the 29th. A creative block could lift, or you may feel less tongue-tied when expressing heartfelt emotions. If your mind has been on an ex, you’ll find it easier to shake off those thoughts and focus on the here and now. That night, a Venus-Uranus opposition can inspire you to take an unexpected route to happiness. The more flexible you are, the easier it will be to have fun, especially if other people aren’t very reliable. Maybe you have a date planned, and a friend blindsides you with a scheduling conflict. Or your friends bail on plans you were looking forward to. A flirtation with a platonic pal could also catch you by surprise, as romance and other pleasures have a rebellious edge, thanks to this cosmic combo. Regardless, you’ll land on your feet if you take the plot twists in stride and give people space to go their own way. You could throw yourself into an experience that transcends your daily reality when Venus syncs up with Neptune on November 30th. Travel, romantic dates, big parties and other escapist pleasures get the go-ahead. This planetary pairing gives you a great excuse to indulge in fantasies. But due to Neptune’s spiritual nature, your heart may be full of empathy and compassion, perhaps for wrongs done to—or pain inflicted upon—people whose lives are seemingly distant from yours. The line between you and others is blurred now, permitting you to feel at one with the world. Several hours later, Venus joins the parade of planets into your efficiency corner, helping you to enjoy your work and your everyday life in the next few weeks.

You’ll be inclined to do as you please after firecracker Mars charges into your joy zone for a six-week tour on the 4th. You’re motivated by fun, creativity, romance, self-expression and passion, so decide what you want and pursue it wholeheartedly. You might make the first move on someone you’re attracted to, dive into an artistic endeavor or simply carve out plenty of spare time for play. A few hours later, Mars opposes erratic Uranus, so the urge to chart your own course could lead you to rebel against a group or a friend. The fact that you’re identifying with different people as your interests change can be both anxiety-inducing and exciting. The Full Moon on November 5th can bring a goal to fruition, make your boss temperamental or trigger a shift in your career path or life direction. Be prepared to put your best foot forward, as this lunation can push you into the spotlight, where you’ll be called on to perform. Once Venus gets settled in your foundation angle on the 6th, you’ll be inclined to relish the pleasures of home and family over the next few weeks. You might entertain, host houseguests, decorate, indulge in comfort food or enjoy restorative alone time in your space. Uranus backs into your ambition arena on the 7th for its final five and a half months there. It was hanging in this part of your chart from 2018 until July 7th of this year, causing some disruptions in your career trajectory. This retrograde phase lasts for another three months, so if you’ve changed your mind about what you want to do with your life, you can mull over options for a bit. Don’t assume you need to leap into action immediately. Venus’s spat with intense Pluto an hour or so later points to a possible power struggle with a family member or an intense encounter that shakes you up. An obligation may prevent you from relaxing at home, particularly if someone calls in a favor. This planetary configuration also signals that you’re probably feeling comfortable with the status quo and are somewhat resistant to change in a relationship. It’s tempting to play it safe if you’re afraid of getting hurt. After communicator Mercury pivots retrograde on the 9th, you could fumble for words when you try to speak from the heart. In the next week and a half, reevaluate what fulfills you, rediscover an old source of pleasure or try rereading something you previously enjoyed. Don’t be too surprised if an ex springs to mind or pops out of the woodwork. With Jupiter shifting into reverse on November 11th, you won’t have the same tailwind for the next four months. Use this time to reflect on what you’ve learned about yourself lately. What lessons have you gleaned about surrendering your will and seeing where life takes you? A new spiritual dimension may have entered your life since June. Try not to lose hope if it seems like you’re drifting along now. Your ruler, the vibrant Sun, syncs up with Jupiter on November 16th, increasing the appeal of chilling at home and savoring some peace and quiet. Indulge in whatever form of R and R tends to center and soothe you. You might get in touch with your emotions by journaling or confiding in a wise soul. When the Sun meshes with stabilizing Saturn on November 17th, time at home—either alone or with someone close to you—can help to strengthen your relationship with yourself or with that person. If you concentrate on nurturing yourself or an important bond, it will pay off by making you feel more secure. This might be a good opportunity to work through a lingering fear in your psyche or apprehensions about intimacy. After Mercury backslides down to the base of your chart on the 18th, your mind will drift to the past, and you might start to rethink your living situation. Take a walk down memory lane in search of fresh insights and consider reconnecting with a relative or childhood friend you’ve been out of touch with. The New Moon on November 20th nudges you to prioritize self-care. A change in your family or your living situation may be on the horizon, and you might want to consider what will improve your sense of safety, comfort and emotional security. Tune into your mood and ask yourself what tweaks you might make to your space that will help you to feel more at ease. Does your home soothe you? Or does it stress you out? You might relocate, redecorate, renovate, refinance or declutter in the weeks to come. Be ready to step out of your comfort zone momentarily to deal with whatever comes up when the Sun goes head to head with Uranus on the 21st. You won’t have an easy time unwinding at home if something happens at work or if your boss makes unexpected demands. Your parents could also throw you off kilter or disagree with each other. Or perhaps you want the freedom to pursue your goals, and your family or home life requires your attention. Try working remotely or effecting another change to restore balance. But don’t do anything too drastic. Uranus can trigger impulsiveness that leads to further chaos. Fortunately, the Sun gels with Neptune soon after that, so you’ll want to take care of someone you love. You might romanticize feelings of closeness under Neptune’s illusory influence. Perhaps you’re so comfortable with someone that it seems like you’ve known each other forever. Relaxing in familiar surroundings will soothe you, so don’t feel bad about skipping social plans to stay in. That night, the Sun surges into your joy zone for a monthlong visit. Now you’ll revel in being yourself and expressing your creativity, heartfelt feelings and personality. A Venus-Jupiter encounter on November 26th implies the uplifting feeling of serenity you yearn is within your grasp. The pleasures of home, self-care and quality time with people who really get you will boost your mood. Give yourself permission to lie low and recharge your battery. That night, Venus cozies up to Saturn, allowing you to relish the feeling of being comfortable in your own skin or being close to another person. Saturn reminds you that you’ve earned this moment of pure pleasure. You’ve been working on yourself or on this relationship, and now you get to enjoy self-acceptance or intimacy as a result. If you’re in a serious relationship, this planetary pairing also hints at cohabitation, although you might simply savor private time at home together. Regardless of your relationship status, you can relish a pleasant sense of security. With Saturn shifting into first gear on November 27th, you’ll soon feel more empowered to deal with strong emotions and touchy subjects. Hopefully you’ll be able to resolve matters related to sharing, finances, trust, intimacy or change and feel more in control. On the 29th, Mercury also gets back on course, helping you to understand your feelings and articulate them—and to straighten out crossed wires on the home front. That night’s Venus-Uranus faceoff suggests a turn of events in the outside world will compel you to leave your nest and deal with a turn of events in the outside world. With equal measures of flexibility and ingenuity, you can find a way to juggle. If you hit turbulence with your family, don’t take sides. Step back to distance yourself from friction. Fortunately, the Venus-Neptune summit on November 30th can help you tune into your emotions and share sweet moments with someone close to you. This pairing is all about private love and deep connection. If you’re on your own, that translates to self-love and being in touch with your core self. Accepting and loving yourself just as you are will feel incredibly cathartic. This might be the perfect time to give yourself the gift of forgiveness. Several hours later, Venus saunters into your fulfillment realm. For the next few weeks, you’ll want to get out and enjoy life. Plus, you’ll feel freer to express your creativity and wear your heart on your sleeve.

After Mars arrives in your foundation angle on the 4th for a six-week stay, you’ll be busier around the house. You could work from home or tackle household projects with gusto. It’s great to take care of needed repairs and renovations, but you could also become rather testy with family and roommate. You might want to run what you’re doing past anyone who shares your space. If you find yourself in a bad mood, try not to get into petty arguments. Instead, spend time alone doing things that relax you. When Mars goes toe to toe with erratic Uranus a few hours later, you’ll need to keep emotions in check around authority figures. Irritability can provoke you to rebel. Lying low would be a smarter move than lashing out. Thanks to a Full Moon in your exploration corner on the 5th, an entrepreneurial venture, publishing project or course of study could reach a climax. Plus, an urge for adventure could lead to a big trip or a leap of faith. This is the best lunation of the year for letting go of a belief that has limited your growth. Venus dances into your thinking-and-talking corner on November 6th, which can make your mindset rosier and your interactions warmer. Notice the love and beauty in your everyday life. Explore your neighborhood. Let people know you care or flirt with someone you fancy. Uranus reverses into your exploration corner on the 7th for its final five and a half months there. It was hanging out in this part of your chart from 2018 until July 7th, generating a stream of revelations that may have jolted you. This retrograde will last for another three months, giving you time to process. If you’re picturing more changes involving education, travel or exciting enterprises, now’s the time to narrow down the possibilities and ponder which path is best for you. Venus’s dustup with powerful Pluto an hour or so later suggests your workload or your health might cast a dark cloud over a previously sunny mindset. Maybe you’re intent on enjoying your day, but the reality of everyday circumstances starts to get to you. Do your best to keep looking on the bright side. Your ruling planet, communicator Mercury, turns retrograde on November 9th, which can scramble signals on the home front. If you feel misunderstood when you’re trying to express your feelings, you might decide to stick to introspection, write in your journal or perhaps speak to a psychotherapist. This is a good time to reflect on private feelings, rethink your living situation and reconnect with family. You’re likely to reminisce in your head and speak with a tinge of nostalgia. On November 11th, Jupiter follows suit, shifting into reverse for the next four months and possibly narrowing the wide array of people coming into your life or slowing the progress of a group endeavor. You might feel less enthused about recently conceived hopes and less supported by your social circle. But it’s the perfect time to examine which new contacts, friendships, group ties and social media platforms are a good fit for you and which aren’t going to mean so much over the long haul. When the radiant Sun meshes with Jupiter on the 16th, you’ll benefit from feeling like you’re a part of something bigger than yourself. That experience can, in turn, enhance your perspective. Next, the Sun clicks with stable Saturn in your interpersonal angle on the 17th, so one-on-one conversations and interactions should be productive. Everyday encounters may take on a more serious tone, as you’re inclined to engage on a meaningful level. This would be a good time to discuss issues in a relationship that need resolution. This type of dialogue can be handled maturely, respectfully and clearly now. Once Mercury backs into your cognition-and-communication house on November 18th, you’ll need to be extra patient with crossed wires and travel difficulties. You could reconnect with a sibling or neighbor, revisit a nearby place or rewrite something. A New Moon in that part of your chart on the 20th can pique your curiosity, leading you to gather info and learn something new. You could take a short trip soon, weigh a decision or become more active in your community. You’re in a restless mood and might keep boredom at bay by seeking fresh stimuli. The Sun’s standoff with Uranus on November 21st could trigger an interesting debate. See if you can separate your ego from your thoughts and ideas. This opposition invites you to be inquisitive and stay open to changing your views. A spirited discussion can turn into a heated exchange in a flash though. Weigh your words, listen to people who have different viewpoints and recognize that you’re probably not one hundred percent right, nor are you one hundred percent wrong. It’s not a contest. You might also have an aha moment or a sudden need to go off the grid. Follow where your mind takes you. Soon after, the Sun’s harmony with Neptune facilitates authentic, vibrant communication that puts you on the same wavelength with others. You can easily convey heartfelt empathy and feel true unity with people, and there’s a chance you’ll form a spiritual or creative partnership. A desire to understand and be understood will enrich your bonds. That night, the Sun slips down to the base of your chart for its annual monthlong stay, turning your attention to matters close to home. You’ll feel most comfortable in familiar surroundings and may want alone time to process emotions and memories. Venus’s vibe with Jupiter on November 26th hints that you’ll thrive on being around a lot of people and expanding your circle of acquaintances. That night, a Venus-Saturn mashup is especially conducive to talking about relationships, feelings and commitment. With a positive attitude and patience, you have a good chance at achieving understanding despite the fact that Mercury is still backtracking. If you’re attracted to someone new now, you could very well form a lasting connection. Saturn shifts back into gear on the 27th, enabling you to translate the lessons you’ve learned about relationships into a potential plan for moving forward. Whether you’re meant to strengthen or sever a connection, now you’ll find the path to be clearer. Mercury wraps up its own retrograde on the 29th, which will help you to communicate more clearly and perceive other people’s meaning more accurately. That night, Venus glides into an opposition with Uranus, encouraging you to live in the moment and accept that the future is unknowable. For example, a flirtation might have a plot twist now, and the outcome will be up in the air. You might suddenly wonder what else—or who else—is out there waiting for you and could discover different pleasures that open your eyes to a new range of possibilities. You may also reveal your feelings to someone or contradict yourself on a whim. If you’re in a long-term relationship, taking a trip together can rekindle the spark between you. As Venus gels with Neptune on November 30th, you’ll see the world through rose-colored glasses, which will offer a very different perspective than your usual realistic lens. Everyone—and everything—possesses a lovely glow now, inspiring you to show your sentimental side, flirt and spread warm feelings like affection and empathy in the world. Relish the pleasant feeling of being on the same wavelength with people and seeing beauty and goodness all around you. Your relationships are almost sure to benefit from this kind-hearted, loving energy. Hours later, Venus sneaks down to the base of your chart, highlighting the pleasures of home, family and simple comforts. In the coming weeks, you’ll crave more downtime and might entertain, redecorate, host houseguests and indulge in good food.

After Mars zips into your thinking-and-talking corner on the 4th, you’ll be fired up to pitch your ideas and be your own best advocate. Your mind will be quite active for the next month and a half, and you could grow restless. Travel and learning are highly favored, and if you can’t take a big trip, weekend getaways, daytrips and neighborhood explorations should suffice. Stand up for what you think, but if you find you’re getting into pointless arguments, you might want to pull back and ask yourself if you’re identifying too strongly with your thoughts and becoming defensive. A few hours later, Mars goes toe to toe with Uranus, warning you not to let a difference of opinion escalate into conflict. Try to keep an open mind and aim to listen and learn rather than taking a stubborn stance. On the 5th, a Full Moon pushes you to get better at balancing give and take. A sexual connection could heat up or end. This is a good time to let go of a loss or wound and move on, transforming your psychological state. You might also pay off a debt or give someone emotional or financial support. After Venus segues into your worth house on the 6th, your desire for nice things could increase, leading to shopping sprees. Fortunately, you’ll also have an easier time attracting what you need, so keep an eye out for financial opportunities. Uranus reverses into your depth-and-merging zone on the 7th for its final five and a half months there. It was hanging out in this part of your chart from 2018 until July 7th, generating changes in a close relationship ups and downs involving outside resources and tremors in your psyche. These themes will come up again, but with less pressure for the next three months as the retrograde phase wraps up. This is your chance to ponder the most empowering path forward. Intense desire could lure you to put your finances at risk or put your confidence on the line when Venus squares off with dominant Pluto an hour or so later. Pause to question what this fixation is truly worth to you. And don’t give anyone too much power over you. With Mercury pivoting retrograde on November 9th, communication and travel can turn into a hornet’s nest. Keep your sense of humor and practice patience. Postpone signing paperwork, making big decisions and having important talks until next month. Jupiter shifts into reverse on November 11th, so you’re likely to lose steam in pursuit of big goals. But are you charging ahead in the right direction? Pause to review your aspirations and revise them so they’re truly yours. Your ego could be deflated by a temporary lack of recognition, but the next four months give you time to ponder how you define success for yourself. On the 16th, a Sun-Jupiter conference helps you to tap into your talents and achieve an objective. Put your innate gifts on display and use all the assets you have at your disposal. And when the radiant Sun gels with serious Saturn in your productivity corner on the 17th, you can get your priorities straight and work efficiently to accomplish something. Your confidence can propel you to tackle tasks that matter. Give some thought to your finances and material needs, and decide what you should do to improve your security. Assess your natural aptitudes and how you can make them work for you. You’ll reassess your priorities and talents further after Mercury backs into your worth house on the 18th. Are you satisfied with how you’re earning a living? What do you base your self-esteem on? Are you living by your core personal values? How can you become more self-sufficient and fiscally secure? If you’re tempted to splurge on something, consider whether you need it or want it. If it’s the latter, what deeper desire do you expect this thing to fulfill? The New Moon in that house on November 20th can prompt you to create a budget, devise a financial strategy and develop a fresh stream of income. It’s also a good time to indulge your five senses, perhaps by getting out in nature. A Sun-Uranus battle on the 21st can make you uncertain of getting what you want from someone. Maybe you can’t decide between holding onto what you have and betting on an unsure thing. You’re identifying strongly with your money, possessions and needs, and the idea of relying on other people or outside resources seems dicey. Be willing to ride out the inescapable ebb and flow. Don’t react in haste if you feel unsettled. Changes in a close relationship could shake your self-esteem. Remember you can’t control others. Their feelings about you and their behavior toward you don’t define you. Those emotions and actions belong to them. Finally, if you’re overly focused on what you consider nonnegotiable, you might underestimate the value of what someone is offering. Less than an hour later, the Sun vibes with Neptune, suggesting that the more confident you are, the more productive you’ll be. Strong self-worth can help you tune into your body’s needs and honor the connection between spiritual, mental and physical wellbeing. Tapping into your full array of talents and making great use of your resources can facilitate meaningful work that benefits others. That night, the Sun darts into your thinking-and-talking corner, fueling your brain and your interactions. Despite the fact that Mercury is backpedaling for another week or so, your personality will come through loud and clear in your written and spoken communication during the month that follows. A Venus-Jupiter alliance on November 26th can promote career progress and help you attract what you desire and need. A positive self-image will empower you to project confidence around authority figures. That night’s Venus-Saturn coalition suggests your diligence will pay off—financially or by making you feel good about yourself. You’ll be motivated to resume a project you put on hold, get back on track with your wellness goals or implement a streamlined daily routine after Saturn powers forward on November 27th. Saturn has been teaching you how to run your life like a well-oiled machine. Focus on efficiency and organization now. With Mercury finishing up its own retrograde on November 29th, your judgment will be much sharper, and delayed payments should hopefully come through. That night, Venus moves into an opposition with Uranus, so try not to expect someone to be on exactly the same page as you are. You can’t count on them to come through for you precisely as you’d like them to. But if you give them more leeway, they might surprise you. Even if you don’t get exactly what you think you want, that isn’t the end of the world. Allow for more personal space in a close relationship if a friend or partner is pulling away. A sexual encounter can be freeing and fun, and self-confidence may embolden you to try something different. If you know your needs aren’t being met though, this planetary pairing can incite you to cut your losses. As Venus harmonizes with Neptune on November 30th, you’ll feel good about doing good. Use your talents to do creative work or spiritually inspired work that helps other people. Once again, you can also easily make the connection between feeling good about yourself and taking good care of your body. You might choose to focus on eating a clean diet, working out in the fresh air or doing a form of exercise you find soothing. Venus’s arrival in your thinking-and-talking corner several hours later fills your mind with pleasant thoughts and infuses your interactions with warmth.
