ASTROLOGER Maggie Innes has looked to the stars to find out what’s coming up for the 12 star signs in November.
Read on to see what could happen in life and love.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Life
Your ruler, Mars, starts the month in Family Focus Mode, gifting you a couple of days of special courage to tackle any long-running issues. Then this planet fire lights up your imagination sector, so the wilder and more unique your ideas, the better, for the rest of the
month. With big planet force Pluto ruling friendships and social life for Aries from the 19th through the next two decades, get ready to review who deserves a place in your future, and who you could – and should – ditch. Saturn emerges from of retrograde just in time to save a work dream from dying – but don’t delay your next essential step.
Love
Venus kicks off November with big ambitions for passion and from the 11th moves on to all kinds of new horizons, so love can push you harder, but also take you further, than ever before. Shared journeys can be extended, or ended, mid-month, but only when you consult every part of your heart. Stick to a promise on the 5th.
Special date
November 12th mixes personal moon magic, and deep intuition, with the fire of Mars – you sense great opportunities, and take swift action.
Taurus (April 21 – May 21)
Life
Mercury works alongside your planet mentor Venus for the first week of the month, so you can find the clarity you may have been missing lately in words and actions. You can put fairness ahead of kindness, and achieve great results. Around November 7th, the moon and Uranus are try-anything (or try-again) Taurus teachers, so you can crack even the toughest of tests or tasks. With Pluto heading for your ambitions sector on the 19th, for the next 20 years, your personal vision stretches way beyond the here and now – to see how a one-off career path could be an all-time hit and fit. Family life has Mars heat most of the month, and this gets hidden fears out in the open.
Love
What you know is important but what you feel matters most – this is a month of sixth sense in the love sphere. Follow your instincts first, and the facts can follow. Around the 21st, the sun helps you connect with anyone, anywhere – but who you choose can be a huge surprise.
Special date
The full moon in Taurus, on November 15th, creates a space for soul-searching, that leads you towards unique new confidence levels.
Gemini (May 22 – June 21)
Life
From the 3rd until the end of the month you have bold Mars ability to speak truth to power, to partnerships, and to audiences of all shapes and sizes. But be ready for family push-back on the 4th , when Jupiter and the moon are in opposition and your ideas may just go too fast or too far for less active imaginations. Jupiter’s joyful presence oversees the rest of your month with an uncanny knack for spotting property bargains or prize chances well ahead of anyone else. “A” names are luckiest.
Love
Ten days or so of relationship gold mark the start of such a special love month – instead of waiting and watching you take action to secure brilliant bonds. But do listen as much as you talk. As Saturn steadies your success sector, you can see a bright future where before shadows of the past may have overwhelmed you. Your personal moon power is highest from 16th -17th , and you attract love but also absolute loyalty.
Special date
On November 30th, teamwork makes the dream work – you can persuade people to back you and find such strength and success together.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Life
The first thing to note is the arrival of Mars in your money zone from November 3 for the rest of the month. Control of cash may feel more carefree, but do double-check all facts every time you face a key choice. You can be braver, but still be fully prepared. The full moon mid-month impacts your friendship zone directly and there can be truths to face about who people really are – and what you’ll do with this knowledge. Pluto powers into your transformation zone on the 19th and this marks your moment to believe you can be anyone, and do anything, you choose. But this is a slow burn influence, so pace yourself.
Love
Passion could feel hard work in week one, but when Venus moves to your marriage zone on the 11th , emotional efforts can bear fruit. Mercury hits retrograde in your well being chart on November 25th, and this is your time to look back and work out why you don’t feel the way you think you should about a certain person, or promise.
Special date
On the 24th , only the whole truth will do – don’t be tempted to expand, or reduce, any facts.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Life
You welcome Mars into your own sign in the first week with open arms – ready for the energy boost and sheer charisma and cheek this brings you. So many long-running disputes and debates can be dealt with, over the rest of the month, but do keep your sense of humour! Pluto finally settles in your teamwork sector on the 19th and you see a future for groups, from a family to a set of friends. There may be blips along the way, but togetherness is your ultimate goal. On the 20th the moon adds insight to Mars fire and you are first in line for a special talking opportunity.
Love
Saturn’s retrograde in your chart of deepest feelings ends on November 15th, and you can feel the difference straight away. Vulnerability blocks smash, and barriers crash– freeing you to say and do what you know is right. Venus offers one week of pure romance followed by three weeks of firm commitment– whatever your status, this can leave you feeling back in control.
Special date
Mercury joins Venus in your creativity chart on November 2nd, making Leo ideas a world- beating blend of head and heart.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Life
From the 2nd to the 5th, a moon of understanding embraces your family sector and pitches in to keep the talking going, especially between generations. Three names that have seemed so different, can find so much in common. As Pluto’s last-ever stint in your creative zone lasts from the 1st to the 19th, seize this time to wake up and work on any ideas you’ve left sleeping too long. All the skills you need are there. Jupiter reminds you, all month, that serious goals are good, but you should also seek, and celebrate, the lighter side of life. Your personal moon makes 23rd to 25th a time for self-contemplation and self-congratulation – celebrate your successes!
Love
Saturn switches back to a positive path in your marriage sector on the 15th, and any recent commitment hiccups can be dealt with. But don’t stick with a path just because it’s familiar – you have the ability to upgrade it now. Venus boosts flirtation and fun from the 11th onwards, and encourages building a bedrock of friendship first, so passion can follow.
Special date
On the 12th, try not to pretend to be someone you know you’re not – in love, at work, or at home.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Life
On the 4th , the sun and Saturn side with you in a cash issue – inspiring strength but also sincerity to talk people round, or find a new way to answer some old money questions. Pluto gets finally established in fellow air sign Aquarius on the 19th , for you this can mean a strong strand of creative potential reaching far into the future. Take time now to work out what your true skills are and where you could take them. This will be a slow and steady process, and it needs your full commitment. On the 23rd , Mars takes a tougher line with friends, or workmates, claiming back what you know is rightfully yours.
Love
Venus’ Libra pattern for November is eight days of open talking and listening, followed by three weeks of finding, and sealing, security deals. Whatever your status, Venus helps you identify exactly what you need, then ask for it. Physical passion feels fresh again, with a foundation of trust that adds a new, deeper dimension.
Special date
The 21st brings the sun to your communication centre, and you can bring back warmth to all discussions – and talk your way into a going-places group.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Life
Fresh starts, fresh feelings and a whole new way of looking at life can highlight your November – as you step into the month with a new moon in your own sign on the 1st . Clinging to people, or projects, through fear, or maybe jealousy, can end – you can let go with a smile, and move forward with a strong sense of purpose. Pluto’s new position, from mid-month, is a further boost – the talking is over, and now you start a two- decades process of taking action. Mercury strides on, too, into your money chart -ready to spring-clean and springboard your finances. But do get plans in order before the 25th, when Mercury enters retrograde.
Love
Tests of loyalty can happen, maybe without you realising, in the first ten days – just be your true self. For the rest of the month Venus settles in your communication sector, and what you say really matters, so review any words before you speak or press Send. A TV name can have passion significance.
Special date
The 1st and 28th are your magical moon days to believe in yourself, and trust what your instincts are telling you.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Life
The sun is on its way to you and arrives in your sign on November 21 – the weeks before then are your time to sort through dreams, and throw out any that are compromised, or too complicated. So much can start to seem so simple again once you have the sun by your side. Venus and Mercury start the month together in your sign, so you have special insights into what makes you, and others, tick. Start those bigconversations before the 11 th. Money challenges only swell when you ignore them, for the last two weeks of the month
believe in your ability to solve cash problems, because you have all the star support you need.
Love
When the moon and Venus are in conjunction on the 4th , forever promises can be made, or made again. You have the right to be happy, on your terms – is Venus’ message to you, and you can build on this all month long. Mars mixes passion and travel into a tantalising ticket-holder.
Special date
Mercury reverses on the 25th and may bring inner doubts – but these are your building blocks for the best possible future.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Life
From the 5th to the 7th you have extra-special moon ability to read rooms and suss out strangers – and interviews and dates can take an unexpected turn as a result. Your creative juices flow free around the middle of the month, and you can stun, even shock, a team with just how far you are prepared to go. The 15th can bring choices linked to children into sharp focus. Pluto pushes for money changes that may feel uncomfortable at first, but can lead to long-term satisfaction. So try to manage your first reactions, resist any temptation to run away, or delegate responsibility.
Love
Any time of playing it cool can end when Venus enters Capricorn on the
11th – you can wear your heart on your sleeve, and trust in love to deliver. But beware false faces and facts around the full moon on the 15th, either your own or anyone else’s. Playing a part doesn’t suit you, your own self should be more than enough.
Special date
The 20th asks you to let Neptune sensitivity rule your usual practical nature, and concede a second chance, free from conditions.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Life
The biggest event of your zodiac year happens on November 19 when disrupter planet Pluto definitively touches down in your own sign, until 2044. This sets you up for personal development that may be challenging, but you never doubt what is right for you. So do take some time in the first two weeks to work out what you REALLY want – not what you think the world decides for you.
The moon and Mercury firm up tentative bonds on the 8th, a great time to review your online presence, and deal with any may delay creative outcomes, but they are close. Family tensions can come to a head on the 16th – stay calm.
Love
Any sense that love is cooling off, can end as Venus moves to your zone of secrets and sacrifice on the 11th . What will you give out, or give up, for love? Only you can decide, but make sure you do. Mars makes partnerships more fiery, this is good news when you let yourself embrace the emotional heat.
Special date
November 19th – you’ll look back on this date from your future life and recognise a true happiness turning point.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Life
Grit your teeth and get through any mix-ups or muddles in the first two weeks of November, as Saturn will leave retrograde in your sign on the 15 th , and so much can start to seem so straightforward again. Your take-away must link to being more open to the new, in every inch of your life, rather than hiding behind old traditions or habits.
Mars hits your career chart with a bang and helps you stand out in any list, of colleagues or candidates. But remember Mars’ potential reckless effect on health matters – beware of running needless risks. Mercury supports success all month, but get any applications or entries in before the last week.
Love
What or who your heart most desires at the start of the month can be totally different by the end, so stay patient! Give relationships room to breathe and grow. A face, maybe an ex, in the friends zone for months or even years, can suddenly step back into passion territory around November 14.
Special date
The moon and your ruler Neptune stir up deep dreams and schemes on November 12 – and this time you can swap doubts for decisions.
