November’s astrological movements are gonna shake up your world — hopefully for the better. The new moon in Scorpio that occurs on November 4 is an intense moment. Uranus retrograde opposes the new moon, making the events of the day unpredictable and exciting. The following day, Mercury enters Scorpio and Venus moves into Capricorn. Communication won’t be as plentiful during this time, as we’ll be relying on unspoken words to express our innermost sentiments. Financial and romantic matters will be taken seriously then — that’s right, it’s time to boss up when it comes to our IRAs and saving plans, and love lives. Eclipse season begins on November 19, when the lunar eclipse in Taurus activates our passions. Finally, the sun’s movement into Sagittarius on November 21, followed by Mercury’s swift jump into the same fiery sign on November 24, will make us all more adventurous and willing to expand our horizons without hesitation.
Aries
This may be the one time of the year that you feel like people pleasing, Aries. Even the most tenacious and independent rams align in partnerships and become slightly codependent with others during cuffing season. The new moon on November 4 and Mercury’s ingress into Scorpio on November 5 gives you the chance to define your needs and desires within the relationship. The goal is to find the dynamic that works best for you both. By the time the lunar eclipse rolls around on November 19, a line will be drawn in the sand — one that sets limits on the same path and helps you grow as a couple.Illustration by Stefhany Lozano
Taurus
The new moon on November 4, which is followed by Mercury’s planetary shift into Scorpio on November 5, gives you a deeper look at your innermost alliances. The relationships and friendships that you’re in are a mirror and extension of you, Taurus. The actions that you see your squad doing reflect the behavior that you’ve shown them is acceptable in the past — even if you strongly disagree at the moment. Before you throw shade and walk away in anger, give them the respect, compassion, understanding, and empathy that you’d like to receive yourself. No one is perfect. After all, aren’t we all works in progress and figuring everything out? You’ll be able to navigate through the murky waters and start to heal during the eclipse on November 19.

Gemini
You’re starting November off right, Gemmy! Instead of obsessing over who’s doing what, and how they’re doing it, with whom, and where (you know, all the Mercurial sentiments that run through your head every minute throughout the day), you are trying to make a fresh start in the way you think and feel. Negative thoughts that once consumed your mind are banishing themselves during the new moon on November 4 and Mercury’s glide into Scorpio on November 5. With Venus also entering Capricorn on November 5 and Mercury moving into Sagittarius on November 24, it’s clear that you’re becoming emotionally and mentally stronger than you once were — especially after the cathartic energy that comes to you from the lunar eclipse in Taurus on November 19.Illustration by Stefhany Lozano
Cancer
Love is in the air, Cancer. Although you are wanting to grab on to someone tightly with your pincers during November 4’s Scorpio new moon, fear is holding you back from taking the leap. Gambling with your heart will lead you out of your comfort zone when romantic Venus slinks into Capricorn on November 5, but the outcome may be worth the risk. If you’re unsure of how to proceed and unable to make a move towards commitment, then it’s best to focus on how you can calm your hesitations and anxieties. You may feel out of control or just not ready when it comes to the situation, but you can rely on November 19’s clarifying eclipse to guide you toward the right direction.Illustration by Stefhany Lozano
Leo
There is no doubt that you’re one of the most creative signs, Leo. However, you’re currently in a bit of an artistic funk. Don’t stress: The cosmic vibe created by November 4’s new moon, and Mercury’s dive into Scorpio and Venus’s sashay into Capricorn on November 5 will give you a chance to align with an innovative vision that can change your life for the better. Believe in the dreams that you want to bring to the canvas during the lunar eclipse, which commences on November 19, and they’ll come true. When the sun and Mercury enter your fellow fire sign of Sagittarius on November 21 and 24, respectively, you will feel inspired and ready to let the world see your latest passions.Illustration by Stefhany Lozano
Virgo
The month ahead will be revealing — but you may not always like what you learn. Life-changing information will be revealed to you during November 4’s new moon, and again when Mercury moves into Scorpio, then Sagittarius on November 5 and 24. Some of the lessons may be tough to swallow, but you’ll know who and what you can trust as a result. November 19’s clarifying eclipse will be particularly helpful in teaching you that you don’t need to blindly support those you love, and should be more discriminating in whom you let into your inner circle. Although you will have moments of loneliness, the sun’s movement into Sagittarius on November 21 will reinforce your realization.Illustration by Stefhany Lozano
Libra
You’re not in a steady financial place, which means that it’s hard to save money and to financially break even. Unfortunately, November doesn't offer you much reprieve from your monetary woes. But the new moon in Scorpio on November 4 does bring you the opportunity to create a budget that actually works for you and that you can stick to. The only thing to watch out for is that you may be strongly tempted to blow the cash you’ve been saving during November 19’s lunar eclipse in Taurus. Avoid the desire to splurge on an expensive new pair of fall boots or a pricey coat. If you find that shopping is a necessity, consider holding off until sale season (hello, Black Friday).

Scorpio
Since you wear a tough exterior, your inner emotional self is rarely seen and understood by others. But the backend of November gives you a chance to expose the parts of yourself that you normally choose to hide from friends and family. November 4’s new moon and Mercury’s forward movement along your sun sign on November 5, gives you a moment of emotional clarity that you’ll be able to share with your most trust-worthy loved ones on November 19, when the lunar eclipse helps you let down your defenses.Illustration by Stefhany Lozano
Sagittarius
Your season is nearly here! Your motivation and drive to succeed will soar in the beginning days of your solar return, which commences on November 21. This boost will be helped by Mercury’s alignment with your sun on November 24. This will speed up the energy that surrounds you and urge you to take action in attaining your visionary aspirations. But first, you’ll spend the last days of Scorpio season and the first half of November resting, healing, relaxing, and finding peace within yourself to carry on with your personal objectives. You may even consider attending a virtual or IRL yoga class (particularly during November 4’s new moon in Scorpio and November 19’s lunar eclipse in Taurus) to clear your mind from worries and to find a chill state with yourself.Illustration by Stefhany Lozano
Capricorn
When under stress and duress, you can be a tad harsh and overcritical, Capricorn. Emotions may escalate during November 4’s new moon; you may be picking up on a vibe that you’re inadequate — which is patently untrue, for what it’s worth. But be warned: Acting out will heighten these sentiments and create drama. Although your temporary hot-headedness will simmer down when Venus aligns with your sun on November 5, you will still be irked by the lack of TLC that you’re receiving from your crew. It may feel counterintuitive, but rather than express yourself with salty words on November 19’s lunar eclipse, take charge and plan a fun event, during which you can connect with your squad on a deep level.

Aquarius
An exciting opportunity is presenting itself in your career during the new moon on November 4, which is why it’s an ideal time to update your LinkedIn profile and lean into the fortuitous job. The only foreseeable issue is that it’ll be hard to find balance between your career and home life due to the fact that your personal orb is a tad erratic at the moment. The lunar eclipse on November 19 urges you to clean up the messiness at home piece by piece, which may be hard to do by yourself. Reach out to friends for support and to help you strategize the best ways to move forward on November 21 and 24, when the sun, then Mercury enter the liberating sign of Sagittarius one after the other.Illustration by Stefhany Lozano
Pisces
Although you don’t always follow the rules, lately you’ve let yourself off your leash and have been taking your own carefree and spirited direction in life. November 4’s new moon and Mercury’s march into Scorpio, as well as Venus’s glide into Capricorn, both of which take place on November 5, allow you to create your own reality — this will totally activate your imaginative spirit. This is a time to throw caution to the wind (or at least try to) and be the most authentic version of yourself. Being able to roam free in the ocean, like the uncaged fish that you are, will have its perks on November 19 — even if reality comes crashing down hard when the sun, then Mercury enter Sagittarius on November 21 and 24, respectively.
