November opens with a powerful new moon in Scorpio, setting the stage for auspicious beginnings. This potent astrology coincides with Dia de los Muertos, a multi-day celebration honoring deceased loved ones. 

Scorpio season invites grief to the party and builds altars for ancestor veneration, aiming our devotion towards something bigger than ourselves. Scorpio knows that we can only truly begin to live once we’ve accepted our shared fate. Even if you don’t celebrate this holiday, consider creating your own sacred ritual of remembrance. 

This spooky season is serving up more confusion than clarity as Mercury, the planet of communication, backspins in the sign of its detriment, Sagittarius. With tensions mounting as we inch towards the U.S. presidential election, we can expect scrambled signals and a supercharged atmosphere. 

We may catch ourselves being blunt, opinionated, and reactionary as an expression of feeling scared, angry, and divided. And while both Scorpio and Sagittarius are motivated by the truth, this month won’t provide easy conditions for uncovering it. 

November invites us to embrace temporary confusion before jumping to conclusions. 

The signature Sagittarius optimism will be tempered by a reality check. It’s a sobering and serious time to take an honest look at ourselves and our social, economic, and political realities. Until we collectively reckon with the skeletons in our closet, we won’t be in the mood to celebrate. 

With Venus moving into Capricorn, it’s time to save your coin and get real with what you want. What have you been avoiding? Personal finances? Your boyfriend’s questionable politics? This month won’t let you hide. 

Get ahead of it by taking responsibility for an area in your life that needs extra attention and care. Mars, the planet of action, shifts into a fiery and determined Leo, giving you an extra boost to get things done. Heed this rush of energy before Mars stations retrograde next month and force us to slow down, hibernate, and turn inward. 

Pluto, the planet of rebirth and transformation, moves into Aquarius, where it will stay until 2044.

Over the next two decades, we may witness a gradual dismantling of consolidated power and a shift towards more rhizomatic, distributed models of leadership. As the empire crumbles and weeps, we will have to reinvent everything, including our institutions, identities, and ideological agreements. And even though this particular transit unfolds slowly, it arrives with force. 

To learn more about where this astrology will land for you personally, read the horoscope below for your rising sign. 

Aries

Flex your sex appeal under the new moon in sultry Scorpio. With the planet of action shifting into the radiant rays of Leo, expect to feel a rush of creativity and playfulness. You may have to juggle work responsibilities with family demands this month, leaving you feeling stretched thin. 

Use November as an exercise in boundary setting and take a time out when you feel on the brink of burnout. When Mercury stations retrograde, watch out for impulsive and combative communication. If you’re planning on traveling for the holidays, double-check your itinerary and practice patience if you experience unexpected delays, detours, or breakdowns. 

If you can, opt for a staycation or a cozy getaway close to home with your best friends or your boo. Pluto, the planet of rebirth, will shift into your house of friendship and community until 2044. Expect friendship to be a charged site of upheaval and transformation for the next two decades. After graduating from hosting Pluto in your house of career, public roles, and reputation, you’re ready to level up with an aligned soul tribe by your side.

Taurus

What’s stirring in your relationships, Taurus? November opens with a new beginning in your committed partnerships. The Scorpio new moon offers an opportunity for you to tune into your desires. Whether you’re single, coupled, or dating, you may find yourself craving more depth in your connections, from romantic partnerships to creative collaborators. 

With Mercury, the planet of communication, moving into Sagittarius, the sign of its detriment, be prepared to have some tough and honest conversations. Challenge yourself to lead with vulnerability and pause when conflict heats up. Mars, the planet of action, will also be moving from the passive-aggressive waters of Cancer to the passionate and determined fire of Leo. 

Pluto, the planet of transformation, will also be moving back into Aquarius, where it will stay until 2044. This major cosmic shift will heat up your reputation and public roles over the next two decades. Are you ready to step into your power and purpose? 

By the end of November, Mercury will station retrograde in your house of shared resources, taxes, and debts. Use this month to review your finances and be meticulous about your invoices. If you plan on traveling for the holidays, double-check your itinerary and stick to a budget. November invites us to drill down to the ugly truth and free ourselves from false harmony on an individual and collective scale. 

Gemini

November kicks off with a reboot of your daily routine and health habits. Declutter your closet, commit to morning pages, and start your day with a brisk Fall walk. As you get more in tune with yourself through establishing new habits, you may have unexpected breakthroughs about what you want in your romantic relationships and creative collaborations. 

With Mercury, the planet of communication, transiting your house of relationships, old flames may resurface. However, it’s up to you whether you give them a second chance or close the chapter for good. Use this month to review and shed outworn patterns in your relationships. 

Grieve what needs to be grieved, and forgive yourself and those who have disappointed your expectations. Scorpio season encourages us to compost our fears into medicine, transmuting old wounds into wisdom. 

Pluto, the planet of regeneration, will shift into your house of higher learning and spirituality for the following two decades. Lean into the big, existential questions that shape your daily decisions. 

Try different methods, approaches, and spiritual practices to see which ones resonate. Embrace confusion and drop into your body when language fails you. November is a ripe time to turn inward and listen rather than expect to find answers outside of yourself. 

Cancer

Unleash your creativity and set intentions for any passion projects at the top of November. With a Scorpio new moon lighting up your house of creativity, you will have the vision and work ethic to turn your dreams into reality. 

After a demanding October, you may be feeling burnt out and ready to prioritize your health and wellness. If you’ve been overtaxing your mind and body, you may have to deal with unexpected ailments this month. Schedule end-of-year checkups and pay attention to any early signs of aches and pains. Your body will be communicating with you all month, so tune in and listen. November marks a significant cosmic graduation for you after hosting Pluto, the planet of rebirth, in your house of committed partnerships for the past two decades. 

Take stock of what lessons you’ve learned in both romantic and creative commitments. Now, Pluto moves into your house of transformation, where it will unearth your deepest desires to be faced and integrated. 

Spend November accounting for your finances, and if you’ve been spending frivolously, it’s time to make a budget and stick to it. Opt for heartfelt cards and handmade crafts as gifts this holiday season rather than breaking the bank on expensive gifts. Remember, people don’t love you for what you give. Your presence is the present.

Leo

November signals a significant turning point for you. Pluto, the planet of rebirth, will shift into Aquarius in your house of committed partnerships for the next two decades. 

You can expect powerful transformations to take place in your closest romantic and creative bonds. And with Mars, the planet of action, moving into Leo, activating your house of self-identity, purpose, and will, you may feel a sudden wave of determination to tackle your goals. 

Channel this enthusiasm wisely this month because by early December, Mars stations retrograde through January 6th, leaving you feeling depleted and irritable. Be mindful not to take out any frustrations on your partner or vice versa. If you’ve recently moved, purchased a new home, or started a family, revel in your new beginning by spending quality time cozying up in domestic bliss. 

Pay attention to both your mental and physical health and any cues your body sends you. If you start to feel overwhelmed by daily responsibilities, delegate the work or ramp up self-care. Before you flame out, book a massage or acupuncture or sign up for a dance class to relieve any lingering stress. Prepare for December by taking care of yourself in November, no matter how many curveballs are thrown your way.

Virgo

November brings a curious mix of anxiety and fatigue. You start the month as a busy bee, managing a flurry of daily activity. You may be glued to your phone, endlessly scrolling through your news feed for the latest election updates. 

Try to avoid information overload by putting time limits on social media and unplugging before bedtime. With your planet-ruler Mercury stationing retrograde, be prepared to apply your Virgo precision to scrutinize any upcoming travel plans. 

Be especially cautious with any home purchases or sensitive conversations with family at the dinner table that could turn explosive. Mars, the planet of action, moves into Leo, lighting up your house of the subconscious, which could surface buried emotions to be faced and integrated. 

As we inch closer to December, you may feel more tired than usual and need to power down. If you feel any holiday blues, lean on your partner or reach out to close friends for support. With Saturn, the taskmaster planet, going direct in your house of committed relationships, you may feel heavy connections begin to lighten. Enjoy moments of levity, humor, and connection as they come. 

Libra

October was a whirlwind month, from celebrating your solar return to juggling multiple demands in work, family, and partnership. November kicks off with an auspicious new beginning in your house of possessions, values, and earned income. 

Work might pick up over the next few weeks, giving you a confidence boost in personal finances. And as Mars, the planet of action, shifts into Leo, activating your house of friendship and community, you could attract more aligned opportunities through exciting new collaborations. 

However, as Mercury, the planet of communication, stations retrograde towards the end of the month, you may feel tongue-tied and unable to access your usual charisma. When in doubt, take a pause before responding and give yourself time to process and review any contracts or project agreements. 

With Pluto, the planet of regeneration, moving into your house of creativity until 2044, you are about to embark on a major transformation in your artistic expression. Over the next two decades, you may feel emboldened to experiment with your own artistic practice, breaking rules and conventions to express yourself more authentically. Be open to change and upheaval in your work and creative pursuits, trusting the process instead of fixating on results. 

Scorpio

Happy solar return, dear Scorpio! This month opens with a gorgeous new moon in your sign, an auspicious time of new beginnings. At the start of November, you may be feeling especially energetic, playful, and creative. Make time to celebrate with friends and reflect on the past year while planting seeds for 2025. 

Be open to any intuitive downloads you receive this month, and prioritize the relationships and passions that light you up. Take advantage of your birthday month by allowing others to treat you. 

Is your money funny? November may demand you pay closer attention to your finances. Brainstorm new streams of income, and if you’re an independent artist, consider updating your prices to align with the value you bring. Mars, the planet of action, and your planet ruler will move into Leo in your house of career, reputation, and public roles, giving you a momentary boost. 

However, by the start of next month, Mars will station retrograde, and you’ll be temporarily slowing down to re-evaluate your goals and life direction before moving ahead next year. 

Pluto, the planet of transformation, and your modern planet ruler will be shifting into Aquarius until 2044! Are you considering a big move? Starting a family? For the next two decades, you’ll be exploring the depths of your lineages and unearthing big questions about belonging, home, and family. And while other signs fear Pluto’s intensity, you know that transformation requires death and rebirth. Revel in the spooky season and honor how far you’ve come. 

Sagittarius

Rest and recharge in preparation for your solar return! The weeks before a birthday can stir up unexpected emotions and anxiety as you reflect on the past year. As a sign motivated by growth, you are often driven by lofty goals that leave you feeling defeated if you don’t see the results you expected. 

Use this month as an exercise in self-acceptance and challenge yourself to love who you are right now. Observe when goal setting creates more anxiety than personal growth. With Mars, the planet of action, lighting up your house of philosophy and spirituality, use November to explore new practices like meditation and tarot. 

Go for long walks, pour your emotions out on the pages of your journal, and give yourself time to sit with the bigger, existential questions. As Pluto, the planet of transformation, shifts into your house of communication, you’re about to embark on a journey of honing your mental processes. 

Allow ideas to flow through you, and consider signing up for a creative writing workshop, an improv comedy class, or vocal lessons. With Mercury, the planet of communication, stationing retrograde in your house of self, you may experience a bit of an identity crisis. Embrace nonsense and use your signature sense of humor to cut through confusion.  

Capricorn

October spotlighted your relationships while you juggled responsibilities at home and at work. November shifts gears, inviting you to embrace a slower pace. The month opens with a beautiful new moon in your house of community and friendship. 

Revel in the connections that make you feel seen and loved. Let the people you care about know how you feel by writing heartfelt letters, text messages, or voice notes. 

With Mars, the planet of action, shifting into Leo, activating your house of sex and shared resources, you may feel an uptick in your sex drive. If you’re coupled, initiate transparent conversations about money before December, when Mars stations retrograde. Early in the month, you may have to tease out the conflict that has been carried over since October. Use November to reconcile any thorny points of tension in your relationship to set yourself up for success for the rest of the year. 

When the sun moves into Sagittarius, you may need additional rest to prepare for your solar return. The weeks before your birthday, it’s common for unexpected emotions to surface. Give yourself the time and space you need to process whatever comes up. By the time December rolls around, you’ll be recharged and ready to celebrate. 

Aquarius

November ushers in the age of Aquarius, putting you front and center. Pluto, the planet of rebirth, shifts into Aquarius until 2044, activating your house of self, purpose, and identity. Over the next two decades, you will undergo a total transformation from the inside out. 

You may already feel a powerful awakening beginning to rumble in your chest. This month, you are seeding a new beginning in your reputation, public roles, and career. Are you walking in the path of your purpose? If not, it’s time to take a leap of faith. 

Reflect on how you can begin to step into your power without power tripping. As a fixed sign, you can become authoritative and stubborn when met with resistance. And with Mercury, the planet of communication, stationing retrograde in your house of friendship, it may be all too easy to alienate potential allies this month. 

Learn how to express your truth without extinguishing other people’s perspectives. You will earn the trust and respect of others once you master humility. Mars, the planet of action, shifts into Leo, activating your house of committed relationships. 

Use November to strengthen your bonds before Mars backspins in early December, putting a strain on your most important partnerships in love and business. With your planet-ruler Saturn going direct, expect any financial road bumps to smooth out. This month signals an inflection point in your life, dear Aquarius. Prepare for the change ahead.  

Pisces

Purpose is on your mind, dear Pisces. November opens with a new moon in Scorpio, illuminating your house of philosophy and higher learning. Share your wisdom with the world and lean on your spiritual practices to release any mounting anxiety or fear. With Mars, the planet of action, activating your house of daily work, and Mercury, the planet of communication, lighting up your house of career, you’ll feel motivated to step into your power. 

Channel the passion and determination available this month. By early December, both Mars and Mercury will be retrograde, forcing you to review and fine-tune any work commitments before charging ahead in the new year. 

Fortunately, Saturn, the taskmaster planet, goes direct this month after retrograding in your first house of self, identity, and purpose since June. You may feel restrictions begin to lift, and a sense of ease slowly emerge. 

At the same time, Pluto, the planet of rebirth, moves into Aquarius until 2044, activating your house of the subconscious. This cosmic shift signals an intensive period of deep shadow work. Over the next two decades, you will become intimate with the hidden places in your psyche that will transform you from the inside out.
