This November, it’s time for self-reflection and a willingness to learn from the past. Venus is retrograde until the 16th, and on the 17th Mercury takes up the retrograde. The planet of communications will remain rogue until December 6th, making clear communication something you have to work for. The full moon on the 23rd is likely to kick up some pretty heated feelings, so make sure that if you take up arms, you’re fighting for something.
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Saying goodbye and endings are hard, there’s no two ways about it. This month’s new moon in your sign on the 7th is likely to trigger some pretty soupy feels; this can be a time when you get to do some meaningful healing, or a time when you just feel overwhelmed and emo. Seek balance in how you approach your feelings; ask for help if you need it, and take the time to care for your heart.

Your ruling planet moves into your sign on the 8th and will stay there for about a year, and it’s big news for you, Sagittarius. Many astrologers will say that this is a lucky time for you, but that’s an oversimplification — this is a time when you’re likely to feel optimistic and resilient. So much of luck comes from a positive attitude, so this is a great thing. What you can expect now is an expansion or growth. It’s up to you to make sure that what you’re doing is generative so that you don’t grow things that dam the flow of your life.

You don’t have to go it alone, my self-serious friend. This month you’re likely to be confronted by the things that are not as you wish they were. It’s not that they’re the worst, but disappointment can be kind of demoralizing, and that’s where it gets you, Capricorn. Your value, your happiness, and your success is not reliant on any one person or situation. Align yourself with your agency, and keep the perspective that no one person or dynamic can determine your worth. Only you get to do that, my love.

Having a balanced approach doesn’t mean that you feel chill; it means that you prioritize what needs to be done with the healthiest way to do it in complementary parts. This month will test your ability to stay present with difficult feelings. Yours is the sign of the future, but when you skip steps in the present, especially emotional ones, you allow for those pockets to create instability in your tomorrows. Be kind to the discomfort that you feel so that you can determine what needs to be worked through, and what needs to go altogether, Aquarius.

Don’t be in such a rush to get there that you end up overwhelming yourself, Pisces. This month is going to kick up a great deal of action as Mars, the planet of ambition and agitation, enters into your sign. Find healthy, movement-based outlets for your excess energy. If you allow yourself to react defensively to others, you’ll create more problems than you solve. Be brave and act with intention. Move your life forward instead of spinning your wheels, dear one.

When you feel stressed or pressed it’s easy to want to distract from what’s bothering you, or to shut down altogether. The most important thing is this: in your rush to feel better, don’t make things worse. Sometimes you feel off and your situation is imperfect, and it’s not a big conspiracy. ‘The only way out is in’, Aries. Find some peace within yourself by taking the time to sit with your feels without the pressure to do anything. It’s OK to be where you’re at, my love.

The best way to manage your feels is with patience and compassion, especially if what’s triggering them is apparent scarcity, dear Taurus. The new moon on the 7th is a chance for you to get honest with yourself about what you’ve been hiding from — this is a time when you can make peace with yourself and reorient yourself to finally heal, instead of just deal. Release the past, not because you don’t have a choice, but because you love yourself enough to move on.

Hope can be a scary thing — when you’re not invested, there’s not much to lose, but when you care it’s that much harder to risk failure. By mid-month your ruling planet, Mercury, goes retrograde, and this will mark a time of turning within to review your choices and attitudes. On the 23rd there will be a full moon in your sign that will either bring up a lot of agitated feels, or spur you into action. Dare to hope for the best-case scenarios, and then put yourself to work, Twin Star.

Strive to stay centred in your own experience so that you can gauge your part to play. Your gut instincts may be reliable, but they’re not all that you need. This month it’s time for you to engage the dance between facts and feelings with clarity. They’re both valuable, but they are in fact different from each other. Honour both, dear Moonchild. Don’t abandon any part of yourself in your quest for happiness.

It’s time to let go, Leo. It’s time to slow down and reassess what you’re doing, and why. You are likely to be dealing with control issues this month as the people you’re close to are going through their own crises and are less available to you, or maybe asking something of you that you’re not sure you want to give. It’s important that you’re honest with yourself — it’s only in this way that you can be true to the people you care about, and set yourself on course to where you want to go.

Things may not be exactly as you’d prefer them, but that doesn’t mean that they’re not exactly where you need them to be. Find the growth potential in even the most difficult of your situations, Virgo. You’re meant to expand beyond the blocks that have kept you in place, especially the self-imposed ones. Pay close attention to the full moon on the 23rd, circumstances will push you, and you need to determine if it’s time to bend or break open.

Uncertainty can be scary — it’s hard not knowing what comes next, or not knowing what you really want. The antidote to fear is gratitude, so start there, Libra. Get grounded in the abundance of your life, the things you do have going for you, and the resources you do have in the here and now. In this way you can start from a more empowered and clear-minded place, which will help you to find the sense of strength that you need to figure out what comes next.
