As we enter a new month, the slate is wiped clean and there are endless possibilities for growth. See what’s in store for your relationships, career, and emotions in the month ahead. Here’s your November horoscope for 2024.
Scorpio, Oct 24–Nov 22
Scorpio rules transformation, so on the first day of November, when the sun and new moon in Scorpio have your manifesting powers at their most potent, be mindful of what you focus on. Energy flows where your attention goes during this charged period, which can open an astrological portal to download flashes of unexpected inspiration. With this month’s planetary forces nudging you to put some healthy, life-affirming practices into place before holiday hedonism kicks into high gear, consider initiating a few sustainable shifts that fit easily into your lifestyle.
Sagittarius Nov 23–Dec 21
Charismatic Venus and effervescent Mercury in your free-thinking sign till midmonth make a dynamic duo for Sagittarian decision-making, also for attracting helpful support — so far, so fabulous. That is until Mercury’s reversal on November 26 for a three-week pause to slow down, adjust and adapt end-of-year plans. When the last week of November ushers in your birthday season, Mercury retrograde mightn’t seem like the ideal celestial gift, but working with what it offers — cosmic cruise control — can actually make the lead-up to the silly season far less frantic.
Capricorn, Dec 22–Jan 20
For you, November bursts into bloom when Capricorn’s planet ruler, Saturn, emerges midmonth from its long hibernation in your communication sector to enhance your creative powers, artistic talents and spiritual gifts. This period of heightened sensitivity makes you an empathetic mentor for anyone seeking your advice, but don’t neglect yourself in the process. And, as Pluto leaves your sign for this lifetime, Venus makes her light-hearted and joyful entrance into Capricorn, inviting you to fill your party glass with fun, bubbles, and congenial company.
Aquarius, Jan 21–Feb 19
This month’s breaking news for Waterpourers is Pluto making its historic shift into your sign — a 20-year cycle of transformational progress in Aquarian areas of life such as science, technology, space travel and distribution of resources. For you, it suggests an increased need for data security; perhaps deleting those apps tracking your every move and closing gossipy chat threads. Take inventory of the people you surround yourself with — especially if bonding over a common enemy — and arrange brainstorming sessions where everyone can bring their best to the table.
Pisces, Feb 20–Mar 20
November’s news for Pisceans is that taskmaster Saturn is moving forward midmonth after a long retrograde in your sensitive sign. Now all the soul-searching and lesson-learning seems worth it as you are now able to recognise and acknowledge your part in breakdowns or misunderstandings. Even better, communicator Mercury recommends you consider mentoring, which offers a way to contribute to someone else’s development by sharing your experience. Last but not least, you can’t help but enjoy this month’s percolating and pleasurable Kundalini energy.
Aries, Mar 21–Apr 21
November commences with the two most volatile planets, Mars and Pluto, in a pressure cooker combination. While restraint may be hard, especially if your sense of security feels threatened, angry reactions could damage your chances of a beneficial outcome. On the bright side, Mars entering an extended stay in the sign of stylish leadership issues a wardrobe, hair and make-up call that dressing for success is a necessity this month. The true sign of a leader is sharing the spotlight, so invite colleagues and supporters to shine by acknowledging backstage help.
Taurus, Apr 22–May 21
You sensible sensualists love luxury comforts and appreciate that the key to enjoying them is ensuring that the basics are covered first before indulging wholeheartedly in earthly delights. This month your planetary muse Venus morphs from feeling a little restless into possibly having second thoughts about job satisfaction and work-life balance. Making decisions about this is likely to be easier during the Taurus full moon on November 16, your annual date to celebrate the simple things that bring you joy: nature’s beauty, your favourite food and music, and a rejuvenating massage.
Gemini, May 22–Jun 22
With your mentor Mercury jetting into the sign of expansive plans and big-picture ideas, schedule all your brainstorming discussions before the silicate planet backtracks from November 25 to mid-December. Truth bombs often drop during this transit, so if things get uncomfortably candid, don’t underestimate the power of a joke, witty comeback or sincere apology. The travel bug tends to bite during this cycle, so with Mercury reversed take extra care arranging holiday bookings. If you are planning to mail gifts, it’s probably worth paying a little extra to insure and track packages.
Cancer, Jun 23–Jul 23
November’s new moon in the sign of resources opens a new chapter for investments: emotional, physical, and economical. This places focus on shared funds, passive income and property matters. A confidence-boosting Mercury/Mars alignment in emotional water signs gives you the go-ahead to open your heart and speak freely. The annual full moon on November 16 could bring a chance to change or improve your financial status via an offer out of the blue, or an introduction to a helpful connection. However, be extra discerning as you filter through new invitations and opportunities.
Leo, Jul 24–Aug 23
Flaming Mars igniting your fiery sign in the first week of November fuels up Leo energy tanks. The downside? It’s combustible, tends towards non-negotiable, and could incline you to overdo it by taking on too much. Late month sun blazing into its most adventurous placement recommends moving beyond your comfort zone to engage with diverse perspectives and potentially new collaborators. This transit also encourages transparency and honesty, so if a situationship in your life needs an air-clearing talk, address it now before you get swept up in end-of-year busyness.
Virgo, Aug 24–Sep 23
Mercury in chat mode this month is buzzing with information, everyone airing their opinions, not so much listening. When the messenger planet retrogrades later in November, don’t think of adding to this cacophony or competing for airspace. Let others talk over one another while you tune in and get a sense of what important things aren’t being said. The moon in your thorough sign around November 22 advises checking special documents carefully, giving important messages one final edit and trying not to put too much pressure on those around you.
Libra, Sep 24–Oct 23
Your planetary muse Venus breezes into November in easygoing, extravagant mode: an enjoyably carefree cycle while it lasts. That is until November 11, when the love and money planet starts getting down to business in her most structured and upwardly mobile mode — think material girl in a material world. With Venus looking for profitable pairings for the next few weeks, this season of strategic alliances is the year’s most propitious period for partners to discuss relationship goals, future ambitions, shared resources and bucket lists if that’s your thing.
