Still, it’s very much colored by what comes next—an aggressive Mars in Cancer opposing transformational Pluto at the final degree of Capricorn on November 3. This has major “end of an era” energy and is fairly explosive. People born in the final days of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, and Libra seasons are likely to feel this the most. But whatever blows up might soon blow over, as Mars enters Leo the very next day, creating the potential to tap into pure joy and passion—at least for a little while.
Things get mega-messy and confusing starting on November 7, when the shadow of the final Mercury retrograde of 2024 begins. As Venus squares Neptune the following day, loose ends are likely to remain loose, and answers we’re searching for—whether in our personal or professional lives—may be hard to come by.
The full moon in Taurus on November 15 is conjunct revolutionary Uranus, bringing a chaotic energy to the part of our chart ruled by Taurus. Thankfully, Saturn stations direct in Pisces on the same day, which should begin to bring a sense of grounding and certainty to our lives. But beware, not every box will be checked, so remain vigilant about details and ask a lot of questions if you’re unsure about what you’re seeing and hearing.
On November 19, the Pluto in Aquarius era begins for real—we’re officially done with the intense challenges of Pluto’s journey through Capricorn.
The sun enters fun-loving Sagittarius on November 21, letting us exhale into a belly laugh (or five). We’ll need it because this is just before Mercury stations retrograde on November 25. Double, triple, and even quadruple-check your travel plans for Thanksgiving, because what can go awry … will go awry.

Aries
November is a pressure cooker in all the ways. The new moon in your eighth house pushes you to face your fears and do what scares you. A few days later, your ruler Mars (currently in your home zone) gets into a brawl with mighty Pluto in the final degrees of your status sector. This can set off a potential war between your domestic duties and professional demands. Whatever you do, look before you leap, Aries.
The full moon is released into your resources realm at mid-month, the same day Saturn stations direct in your dream zone: cue the deep work around your self-worth. You can let go of the shame and self-blame that’s been holding you back from stellar success for the last six months. After November 21, the sun shifts into your travel zone, and you’re ready to hit the road.
Career and money:
Venus moves into your career zone on November 11, making the next three weeks ideal for getting your bosses or clients to see your value. The full moon lands in your money zone on November 15, calling you to let go of old, false notions of your own earnings potential. Release what you thought your labor was worth six months ago and develop new budgets and strategies to achieve those numbers in 2025—starting now.
Love and relationships:
The sun is in your sexuality sector through November 21, emphasizing the deep, intimate bonds you share with lovers (both past and present). Let yourself get to the heart of intimacy this month, revealing your emotional vulnerability and building trust.
Taurus
This November, you’re confronting the very meaning of partnership. This could be personal or professional, and it applies even if you’re already in a long-term relationship. With the new moon in your seventh house of others on November 1 and feisty Mars activating your communication zone a few days later, you’re prone to verbal outbursts, especially around partners, early in the month. Set intentions to soften and sweeten your most important relationships by your next birthday, perhaps by practicing active listening. By the time the full moon in Taurus arrives mid-month, you’ll be able to release some of the stress built up in your body and mind. This could all be a bit emotionally overwhelming, so pile on the indulgent self-care routines and use an “as needed” philosophy—too much is never enough for you, sweet Bull.
Career and money:
Saturn stations direct in your career sector on the same day as the full moon in your sign on November 15. You may be too emotional to notice this at the moment it happens, but it’s a signal to slowly and proactively push forward on a professional plan you put on hold about five months ago. You’ve probably tweaked enough—now it’s time to make it happen.
Love and relationships:
Your relationships are the most potent, urgent theme of the month, Taurus. There are a few sweet spots for love and romance, however, especially on November 4, 9, and 22.
Gemini
Your schedule is relentless this month, but you can reset your day-to-day vibe, Gemini. Jupiter has had you in wild overdrive since May, and even though it’s nice to have the most auspicious planet in your stars, it can be a lot. The new moon lands in your sixth house of work and wellness on November 1, offering you the chance to set intentions for your daily life to bring back balance. With Mars under stress in your house of money, you’re fired up about earning what you deserve, yet you might experience some obstacles early this month. The full moon releases in your dream zone at mid-month, and it could be a bit emotionally bumpy. This is an excellent time to take a social media break, immerse yourself in the imaginal realm, write in your journal, and get in touch with your body again (get back on the mat)! You’ll need this re-attunement because when your planetary ruler Mercury stations retrograde a few days before Thanksgiving, everything might feel hella chaotic.
Career and money:
As Saturn stations direct in your career zone on November 15, you’ll sense a major vibe shift in relation to your professional goals, making you once again feel ambitious where you may have previously felt exhausted or bored.
Love and relationships:
With Venus in your relationship zone through November 11 and the sun entering this part of your chart on November 21, partnership is a powerful force this month. Note that professional concerns could conflict with your personal life when Venus squares Neptune on November 9.
Cancer
Pleasure may be hard to come by for many this month, but you should be able to access small joys a bit more easily than others. Why? Because the sun is in your fifth house of love and romance, and the new moon alights here on November 1. Start the month by setting intentions for all things dating, mating, and relating for your next six months—what could be sweeter? Yet you can’t escape what’s happening in tandem: that aggressive Mars is in your stars and pushing hard against Pluto in your relationship zone. You might find yourself on the defensive even when it’s not necessary. The full moon in your social zone at mid-month could bring some emo energy to the group chat, so do whatever you can to self-soothe before you start something you can’t take back.
Career and money:
On November 3, Mars moves into your money zone, where it will drive your financial passions, yet with the caveat that the Red Planet stations retrograde in early December and returns to your own sign in January. In short, this is a complex, fraught time but you’re driven to make loads of cash for the sake of security.
Love and relationships:
Venus, the planet of love and romance, steps into your partnership zone on November 11, ushering in three weeks of high vibes in your one-to-one relationships. This is one of the best periods of the year for your current LTR (long-term relationship), or an LTR in the making.
Leo
Your domestic scene gets a major glow-up early this month as the new moon offers myriad opportunities for home improvement—whatever that means to you. Whether buying or renting a new place, renovating, moving in with bae, or buying cute new sofa pillows, you can set intentions about your living space and family (or chosen family). Mars moves into your own stars on November 3, activating your passionate, fiery core and making you more assertive in all your endeavors. The mid-month full moon allows you to press the release valve on a tense, ongoing career issue—you can let it go and move on now.
Career and money:
The first three weeks of November are Pluto’s last stand in Capricorn and your sixth house of work and wellness, where the planet of transformation has been for a grueling fifteen years. You don’t have to grind the way you’ve been grinding, Leo–your new professional mantra can be “less intensity, higher rewards.”
Love and relationships:
Venus is in your love zone through November 11, so you can tap into abundant romance and pleasure for the first chunk of the month. The only complication is that Mercury will also be in this part of your chart, and it will slow down and station retrograde a few days before Thanksgiving, causing potential communication bumps with loved ones.
Virgo
Talking, thinking, and texting are your jam this month, Virgo. On the new moon at the start of November, you can set intentions for all forms of communication—from the personal to the professional—for the next six months. Want to write a book or start a newsletter? This is your moment. With your planetary ruler Mercury prepping to station retrograde on November 25, getting all your ducks in a row early in the month is key. The full moon lands in your travel zone at mid-month, potentially prompting you to get on the road to visit a locale you’ve missed just before the Thanksgiving holiday.
Career and money:
Pluto moves into your work and wellness zone for the long haul on November 19, transforming the way you relate to your daily schedule. It’s time to bring even more meaning to your mundane tasks. The more your duties align with your heart and soul, the less stress you’ll feel in the near and distant future.
Love and relationships:
Sweet Venus enters your love zone on November 11, bringing many opportunities for romance. (If you’re single, commence swiping). When the love planet syncs up with a direct Saturn in your relationship zone on November 22, your committed partnerships get a boost.
Libra
Your self-worth can soar at the start of the month as the new moon lands in your house of resources. This is ideal for setting intentions for your next six months of financial success or working on your holiday budget. The full moon releases in your transformation zone two weeks later, bringing an intense, potentially emotionally overwhelming moment. You’re letting go of a lot, Libra, and you should make space for tenderness and self-care as you liberate yourself from unhealthy burdens. The sun slides into your communication zone on November 21, bringing lots of conversation and activity in the group chat. But be wary of how Mercury Retrograde can muck this up a few days later.
Career and money:
When the Sun in your money zone trines Saturn in your house of work on November 4, you get an amazing opportunity to align your income and your vocation more meaningfully. Take steps to do less of what you don’t love and rely on the kind of inspo that makes you want to work harder.
Love and relationships:
Your planetary ruler Venus is in your communication zone for the first eleven days of November, bringing more ease and sweetness to conversations with partners. Your flirting skills are on point, too. The full moon in your sexuality sector at mid-month could be one of the most intimate (and super hot) moments of November—especially if you allow yourself to be emotionally vulnerable with a lover.
Scorpio
Happy birthday, Scorpio baby! Your season is fraught with intensity and urgency even in the best of times, but this November is hella complex, and you can feel it in the depths of your sensitive, uber-sleuth soul. With a new moon in your sign on the very first day of the month, the stars are offering you the opportunity to make a wish (or a dozen) and set intentions for how to make them come true during the next six months. This lunation is a potent portal because it falls just a few days before your traditional planetary ruler Mars opposes your modern planetary ruler Pluto—putting you at the center of the most powerful, pivotal aspect of the month, if not the year. In other words, as much as you often prefer to act the part of the incognito introvert, you’re in the spotlight right now.
Career and money:
With planets making their way into your money zone (Venus, then Mercury, and then the sun on November 21), your finances are at the top of your mind. However, the communication planet will enter its retrograde shadow by November 7, so stick to your budget because overspending now could come back to bite you next month.
Love and relationships:
The full moon in your relationship zone hits at mid-month, bringing an equal amount of truth, revelation, and deep realization to your partnerships. Yet this could be confounded by Mercury Retrograde already building up—don’t expect every question to be answered immediately.
Sagittarius
You enter November in a contemplative mood and leave it ready to party, Sagittarius. The new moon opens the month in your twelfth house of dreams and secrets, turning your focus inward for a minute. This is a beautiful moment for tarot pulls, journaling, and setting intentions about all the ways you’d like to improve your mental health over the next six months.
At mid-month, the full moon alights in your work and wellness zone, which you might understand as a cosmic offer to slow down, stop stressing, and take a personal day for indulgent self-care. And with your birthday season commencing on November 21, pregaming with super deep beauty sleep is the right call. Mercury stations retrograde in your sign a few days later, so get all your ducks in a row at least a week before Thanksgiving, especially if you’re traveling.
Career and money:
Pluto has transformed your relationship to the very concept of money during the last decade. As the planet of transformation prepares to leave this part of your chart for the final time on November 19, your financial zone will no longer be weighed down by old karma. Embrace this freedom to pursue your wildest dreams of what it means to be wealthy.
Love and relationships
With Venus in your sassy stars from the start of November through the eleventh, everything feels extra sweet and sexy as hell. This is particularly heightened on the third, when the love planet opposes your own planetary ruler Jupiter, currently in your relationship zone. Is your partner flirting or fighting with you, or both at the same time? It’s hard to know!
Capricorn
November is momentous for you in multiple ways. The new moon awakens your house of goals and wishes, and even though it’s a somewhat tense lunation, it’s ideal for networking at the start of the month. Set intentions for your friendships now – what kind of people do you want to surround yourself with? People who support and value your personal and professional goals, perhaps? It’s important to ask these questions now because, on November 19, Pluto finally leaves your sign after more than a decade, setting you free after one of the most intense periods of your life. You’re about to feel some serious lightness for the first time in a long time, Capricorn. The full moon lands in your love and creativity zone at mid-month, adding to the sense that this is a time to embrace joy and sweetness. This doesn’t mean you have to set your hardworking persona totally aside (you’ll always be the OG GOAT), but learning how to relax and have fun will be good for your health.
Career and money:
Your planetary ruler Saturn stations direct in your communication zone on November 15, helping you regain control of any professional boundaries that have been blurred in recent months. Any conversations or important requests that have been on hold can now be moved back to the front burner.
Love and relationships:
Sweet Venus moves into your own stars on November 11, putting you in the mood for love. You may crave romance more than you usually allow yourself to do. Even if you don’t usually go for the hearts and flowers routine, you’re apt to want more attention from a lover or potential lover. Bonus: this is the best time of the year for spa treatments, shopping, and getting all-around gussied up. Yes, it’s time for a Sephora haul.
Aquarius
Your star is rising as the month begins, Aquarius. The new moon lands in your tenth house of status, giving you a major opportunity to set intentions for your public life. This is the part of your chart that can bring you fame (if you want that), so set intentions for anything you want to put out there in a big way on or around November 1. The full moon releases into your fourth house of home two weeks later, calling attention to the importance of work-life balance and the ways that career stress can affect family life.
The biggest astro-headline of the month for you is Pluto’s arrival in your own sign on November 19—for the long haul. You’ve gotten small tastes of this intense transformation over the last year or so, but now you’re in it for real. This is especially active for early Aquarius birthdays—January 20 to the 23 or so. Change is the only constant, and you’re about to be both the transformed and the transformer in other people’s lives.
Career and money:
Saturn stations direct in your money zone on November 15, enabling you to make firm, well-informed decisions about your finances, and helping you to create a budget and stick to it during the next few months. You may feel a bit restricted in this part of your life through the spring, but this is the final stretch of Saturn’s stay in this part of your chart through next year.
Love and relationships:
A hot and fiery Mars bursts into your relationship zone on November 3, provoking your passions and potentially amping up your libido. If you’re single, you might suddenly feel the urge to be partnered or at least have a reliable hookup partner a text away. The caveat is that this can also make you quick to anger when it comes to a lover, but the makeup sex should be off the charts.
Pisces
The vibes are often immaculate for you during Scorpio season, because your sister water sign can be deeply inspiring. With the sun and new moon in your travel zone, you can set intentions for your next six months of travel and adventure. Where do you want to go, and what do you want to see? Write it all down near November 1, and make sure your passport is up to date even if you don’t have any trips booked. Halloween may be over, but you can still cast some serious spells this month, especially after Saturn goes direct in your sign on November 15 – the same day as the full moon in your communication zone. This is one of those moments when you can finally say your piece and have a conversation that’s a long time in the making. If there’s something you’ve needed to get off your chest, this lunation is ideal. After November 21, the sun shifts into your career zone, emphasizing your professional prowess, yet Mercury stations retrograde in the same part of your chart just a few days later, so make sure you’ve organized everything before you take off for Thanksgiving break. Don’t forget to pack all your charging cords!
Career and money:
Mars moves into your work zone on November 3, firing up your passions about your daily duties, and potentially speeding up your ability to hit deadlines faster. However, be careful of doing too much too fast because Mercury Retrograde begins late this month, and Mars stations retrograde early in December. You don’t need all those do-overs.
Love and relationships:
Romance can be found on the road this month, Pisces. With so much intense emphasis on your travel zone, taking a lover on a trip (or being taken on a trip by a lover) feels so right, especially early in the month. This is particularly potent when the sun trines your ruler Neptune in your sign on November 18.
