November's Monthly Horoscope Could Bring Sweeping Global Changes

November surprise...or November nail-biter? With this month's cosmic lineup, it looks like a bit of both. Sexy Scorpio energy opens the month with not just the sun in Scorpio but a Scorpio new moon on the first. What secrets are to be revealed with this twofold energy in the mysterious water sign right at the start of U.S. election month?

The year's only Scorpio new moon (on November 1 at 8:47 a.m. EDT, 9º35') opens a new chapter for all of your investments: emotional, spiritual, sexual, and financial. A bond that begins today could develop into a deep soul connection over the next six months (at the corresponding Scorpio full moon in May).

In resourceful Scorpio, this new moon turns your attention to shared finances, passive income, and property matters. Keep alert, as a helpful 120-degree trine to structured Saturn could bring a heavy hitter or a solid opportunity into your sphere.

Assertive Mars blazes into fierce fire sign Leo on November 3 (until January 6), pumping up the amour and the glamour during this extended stay. Ready to see your name in lights? Express yourself boldly and wear your heart on your sleeve. Pursuing a passion could get you noticed. Saunter into the spotlight and share the magnetic parts of your personality.

Also, on November 3, remember to turn back your clocks if you live where daylight saving time is observed!

Sharpen the focus of your relationship goals as amorous Venus shifts into structured Capricorn on November 11 (until December 7). Couples can align around your shared future, discussing your 2025 dreams while getting cozy in front of a roaring fire. If you're single and looking, search for someone who is ready for meaningful co-creation, like now.

Matters of the heart will get serious—but they don't have to be as serious as a heart attack! Playful, seductive Venus likes to keep the mood light. Defining nebulous situationships could be a fun game of, "You show me your bucket list, I'll show you mine!" Or, if you're the type who doesn't even think about bucket lists, well, maybe it's time to write one up.

The taskmaster planet straightens out after a long retrograde period in healing, water sign Pisces, on November 15 (at 9:20 a.m. EST). Since June 29, Saturn's backspin has brought plenty of soul-searching, inner growth, and at times, harsh but necessary lessons.

You may have learned a lot about trust, vulnerability, surrender, and forgiveness. No one would call a cycle like this fun, but the growth and maturity that it can facilitate are priceless.

The once-a-year full moon in fiscally savvy Taurus on November 15 (at 4:28 p.m. EST, 24º, 01') could bring an opportunity to change and improve your financial status. With la luna's conjunction to tech-savvy, innovative Uranus, an offer could come out of the blue, possibly through your online network.

Sensible but sensual Taurus loves luxury (this sign is ruled by the pleasure goddess Venus). The key is making sure you've got enough resources to cover the basics while enjoying those earthly delights.

Deep-diving Pluto makes a seismic shift on November 19, settling into high-minded Aquarius for the unbroken two-decade leg of its journey. This 20-year cycle will bring groundbreaking transformations to Aquarian areas of life, like science, technology, space travel, and the distribution of community resources.

Get ready for a revolution! Progress is Aquarius' hallmark, and this Pluto cycle will inevitably burn away our resistance to evolving as a species. The icy dwarf makes lengthy stays in each zodiac sign, and these periods indelibly shape history. (Its last run through Aquarius was from 1778 to 1798!)

Inclusive Sagittarius season begins on November 21 (at 2:56 p.m. EST). In this zodiac sign (until December 21), the sun encourages you to move beyond your core crew and engage with others outside of your familiar zone.

Be welcoming and open to diverse perspectives and backgrounds. Play super-connector for your friends, or dip into a new talent pool for potential collaborators. Sagittarius also encourages transparency and honesty, so if you need to have an air-clearing talk with someone in your life, do it now before you get swept up in holiday festivities.

If you can slip off for a preholiday getaway, pack your bags and go. No can do? Plotting out a big adventure (whenever you can take it) is the next best thing because just days after Sagittarius season opens, Mercury retrograde begins in this sign (on November 25).

Until December 15, your best course of action is stop, think, review, reevaluate! It's frustrating, to be sure, but in the long run, you might be grateful for the forced slowdown.

Since Sagittarius rules travel and all things long distance, take extra care when arranging your holiday bookings. If you're sending gifts by mail (which is ruled by Mercury), pay a little extra to insure and track your packages.

Think your editorial opinions through before posting impulsively on social media. People will take things far more personally during this retrograde—and the risk of getting canceled for a brash and outsider-y opinion is high.
