Welcome to November. Welcome to Scorpio Season, a season that brings us into life’s deeper emotions, from vulnerability and intimacy to the fears we all have lurking within. Scorpio is a necessary step in our push to evolve and deepen our connections.
Ruled by Mars, Scorpio is a sign that teaches us emotional courage and bravery. It’s also a sign of powerful desires, a need to possess, and a need to destroy and start over. But, used wisely, Scorpio gives us the necessary fuel to make powerful, lasting, and positive transformations.
The veil is also very thin when the Sun’s in Scorpio, so we may be more aware of our dreams, intuition, and connection to the spirit realms this month. And with Mercury coming out of retrograde and arriving back in Scorpio on November 10, our intuition or perception will be sharper than ever. Scorpio is the zodiac’s lie detector and it’s hard to hide things when Mercury’s in Scorpio.
Mars finally comes out of retrograde in Aries on November 13, which means that are two halves to this season, one where we’re digging inward, continuing to rework and reapproach how use our anger, will, and drive. The other is where we’re motivated to take action, flex our power, and exert our will. (Hopefully differently than July and August now that we’ve worked through the retrograde.) It’s also a season where we may need to take a second look at our relationship with our health, wellness, and how we organize our day-to-day lives.
A Scorpio New Moon on November 15 at 23 degrees brings us a new lunar chapter, one that’s focused on intimacy, power, vulnerability, sexuality, and our internal shadow work. Again, with Mars direct, there’s a bracing energy to this new moon. It’s driven or perhaps even a little obsessed. It needs to get to the bottom of a mystery. And with Mars square Pluto and Jupiter, the new moon may provoke events that have been threaded throughout our lives in 2020.
The Sun arrives in Sagittarius on November 21 and we say goodbye to Scorpio Season. With Jupiter still making a heavy duty conjunction to Pluto in Capricorn, this isn’t your usual easy breezy, let’s have a good time Sag Season. There’s serious matters we’re still working through. There are things we still need to profoundly change. Thankfully Jupiter (and Saturn) both leave Capricorn for Aquarius in December.
But the big news this month is we’re back in the gate for eclipse season. Yes, it’s been nearly six months time since our last round of eclipse. This season is a bit different as the eclipses are now in Gemini and Sagittarius, the signs of communication, education, and travel. Faith, truth, and meaning are big themes as we go into the new year. The Gemini Full Moon lunar eclipse on November 30, however, is a demand for new ideas, new information, and new ways of thinking. The trap of having the South Node of the Moon in Sagittarius, is that while we always think we’re right, we just may be wrong after all. So it’s important to get a new perspective this month, especially now that Mercury is direct as of November 3.

Aries
March 21–April 19
You’ve been passing through the gauntlet, Aries. What with Mars, your ruling planet, retrograde since September 9. It’s not just the retrograde, though, it’s also the fact that Mars has been passing through some bumpy astrology on and off since August. As a result, life has probably been stressful at points over the past couple of months, requiring you to face facts, take responsibility, and push through tough emotions. Let’s not lose sight of the big picture; Mars Retrograde is a time when you have to go back and do things differently. It’s a pull inward instead of a push outward. It’s rest instead of action. It’s a rewind instead of something new. When you look back at September and October, what do you see? What did you learn about yourself? Since it’s Scorpio Season, you’re likely in a reflective mood, digging deep into your psyche to face your vulnerabilities and fears. It’s a season to examine power and control, transformation and rebirth, finance and assets, intimacy and trust. Just before the start of November, a Taurus Full Moon lit up your sign of money and material stability, something that’s been shaking up and reinventing itself over the past couple of years. So you may be arriving in November feeling a little shook. Then on November 3, Mercury turns direct in Libra, your relationship sign. If there’s something that you’ve been working through with a partner or with a connection, it may be that things start to clear up or at least get clear about what you need to do once Mercury turns direct. A square between Mercury and Saturn on November 6 is the last milestone in a story that takes you back to September. Now it’s time to make your final decision. But, as mentioned before, Mars has been retrograde. Life has been in another gear. Thankfully it turns direct on November 13 and things can start to move forward. Keep in mind that you may feel like all this pent up energy — perhaps even anger or rage, too — can now push forward and, as a result, you may feel a bit overly energized in the middle of November. Make sure it has a healthy outlet. Then on November 15 a Scorpio New Moon opens up a new lunar month focused on all things Scorpio — deep emotions, obsession, transformation, money, ownership, sexuality. The coming four weeks is a deep dive into yourself so that you can examine all the shadowy, undiscovered or forgotten corners. (Fun!) You may be digging into your deeper motives and ambitions, especially as Saturn wraps comes to the last four weeks of its time in your career sign of Capricorn, not to return for another 30 years. Yes, the last few years have been about answering a simple question for Saturn — what do you want to be when you grow up. Maybe the new moon helps you find an answer or gives you new insight into a facet of this part of your life or even gives you an opportunity. That said, Venus’s arrival in Scorpio on November 21 is a demand for intimacy and vulnerability. It’s so important that you and a partner or connection have trust. Venus may be a bit messy in this part of your life if relationships veer towards the darker side of life. Make sure you have good boundaries. When the Sun arrives in Sagittarius, also on November 21, it’s a reminder that we’re going into another round of eclipse season. The good news is that the eclipses have moved out of Cancer and Capricorn, where they were from July 2018 to June and July of this year. That’s why life has been taking some big turns in recent memory. So, when a Gemini lunar eclipse lights your sign of communication, information, ideas, and learning on November 30, it’s showing you that life’s taking another turn, pointing you in the direction of taking new classes, working on a manuscript, using your voice more, and seeing things from a new perspective. And, as you go into December, you may have to leave a lot of old ideas and beliefs behind. Want a deeper look at how November will affect you? Book your one-on-one consultation now.
Key Themes: The self, negotiating major events, turning a corner, anger, bravery, rage, transformation, the deep self, the hidden self, facing fears, the psyche, the shadow self, power, control, possession, trust, vulnerability, deep emotions, rebirth, legacies, secrets, money, assets, finance, benefits, taxes, estate, career, responsibilities, direction, relationships, other people, partnership, information, ideas, communication, voice, learning, education, classes, writing, reading, speaking, choices.
Taurus
April 20–May 20
Let’s zoom out for a moment, Taurus. I know I’ve been talking about this from time to time, but it’s important for you to understand that you’re in the midst of a complete overhaul. Did that statement shake something in you? As a Taurus, it’s your job to preserve the status quo, to create material stability so that life can flourish. So you’re a sign that, on paper, doesn’t like a lot of change. However, way back in May 2018, a planet arrived in Taurus for the first time in decades and signaled that, over the coming seven years, your sense of who you are and what your life is about would radically shift. That planet was Uranus, the planet of revolutions and awakenings. The thing is that May of 2018 was merely the start of the story and, like most stories, it was not clear what the plot was at first. Now, as you step into November, you may have a clearer idea of what needs to change and how it’s already been changing. A Taurus Full Moon on October 31 puts things in the spotlight or causes an earthquake or two. Let’s not forget that November is Scorpio Season, the time in your calendar when it’s all about relationships and connection. With Mars finishing its retrograde on November 13, the first half of this month is still about working through something from the past and doing connection and socialization in a different way. If you’ve been working through an issue with a romantic partner the past couple of months, it may very well come to a resolution in November. A Scorpio New Moon on November 15 helps you powerfully turn the page with a relationship or open you up to new possibilities with others. With Mars, the ruler of the new moon making contacts to Pluto and Jupiter, it may be a new lunar month of big transformations, revealing something deeply buried about how you connect and interact with others. That said, Venus, your ruling planet, is also in Libra for most of this month. You’re feeling pulled to enjoy more beauty and design in your life, to express yourself with more charm and grace. There’s a sweetness to Venus in Libra and, as a result, you may be feeling more kind and generous. (Maybe you have a bit more of a sweet tooth this month, too.) But Venus does switch signs on November 21, arriving in Scorpio, delving deeper into relationships as well as themes of trust, vulnerability, and deep emotional connection. The other big story this month happens at the end of the month with a lunar eclipse in Gemini, your sign of money and material matters. Yes, it’s time for eclipse season again and this one picks up on a story that began in or near June 2020. The lunar eclipse (also a full moon) puts the spotlight on how you earn a living, what you value, and what you need to feel safe and secure. As a result, you may feel a push to create more material stability in your life as you go into December, taking steps to earn more money, gather what you need, or make major purchases and investments. So, big changes this month, Taurus. Just be open to being the version of self that is your highest potential and don’t be limited by any fears. Want a deeper look at how November will affect you? Book your one-on-one consultation now.
Key Themes: Reinvention, transformation, revolution, awakenings, shake ups, relationships, other people, connection, socialization, partnership, health, wellness, diet, fitness, nutrition, work, projects, beauty, design, trust, vulnerability, intimacy, opening up, power issues, control issues, other people, money, income, spending, resources, material needs, material life, how you earn a living.
Gemini
May 21–June 20
Gemini, we’ve got a lot to talk about. As you know, the past few years have possibly been some of the most difficult you’ve experienced. (If not the most difficult then close.) The main culprit has been two planets, Saturn and Pluto, ganging up in a particular part of your astrology chart, a section that speaks to having to dive deep into the unknown to face fears, dig up the past, and to be reborn. It’s been intensely emotional and heavy at times for a sign that generally likes to play it easy breezy. Add Jupiter into the mix in 2020, one of the main players in your astrology, and relationships as well as career may have been strained, too. The good news is that come December 17 Saturn moves on from this area of your chart followed by Jupiter on December 19. That means that you’re starting to ease out of a difficult patch of astrology. That said, here’s a few things to keep in mind. One, you could say that November is asking you, “What did you learn?” No, really, what did you learn? To make necessary changes? That you were stronger than you realized? Who to trust and not to trust? That your worst fears weren’t really your worst fears? With emotional pressure has come transformation and it’s important to look back at how you’ve transformed and who you have transformed into. The road ahead is all about faith and it’s faith that will pull you forward into December. The other thing to keep in mind is that November marks the start of eclipse season and the first eclipse on November 30 is a lunar eclipse in Gemini. It’s safe to say that you’re going to feel life taking a turn this month. An eclipse in your sign puts you in the spotlight. Doors close and open. People come in and out of your life. (The last time we had eclipses in Gemini was from December 2010 to November 2012.) That said, it’s Scorpio Season, the time in your personal calendar when the focus is on health, wellness, work, and projects. And let’s not forget that Mercury, your planet, turns direct on November 3 after a three week retrograde. It does so in Libra, so things may be a little bumpy as Mercury has to negotiate serious-minded Saturn on November 6. Speaking of planets turning direct, Mars turns direct after a two month retrograde on November 13 and you may feel like you’re starting to move forward. Just note that this may bring a disagreement with a friend or something hot headed with a colleague or associate because Mars has been building in energy as it turns direct. Then on November 15 a new moon renews your attention towards health and daily living, giving you a time to refresh how you take care of yourself, organize your day, and get things done. You could say this full moon is an early start on any end of the year resolutions and the perfect time to end bad habits, make changes in diet, or take new initiatives in fitness. Not long after, on November 21, the Sun arrives in Sagittarius and kicks off a new season, one that for you is all about relationships and social connection. And it’s also a reminder that you’re coming into a new chapter in life, one that may bring in a new relationship or new milestones in existing relationships. But it’s that Gemini Full Moon lunar eclipse on November 30 that kicks things off. A new story is beginning. Perhaps all the weeding and pruning you’ve been doing over the past two years is to make space for something new to come in. Want a deeper look at how November will affect you? Book your one-on-one consultation now.
Key Themes: Health, wellness, diet, fitness, nutrition, work, projects, daily life, schedule, organization, rewind, the self, self expression, creative projects, friends, social network, groups, community, letting go of addictions and habits, deep emotional work, transformation, money, income, stability, relationships, other people, partnership, connection, socialization, new beginnings, powerful new stories, possible life changes, new directions, new chapters.
Cancer
June 21–July 22
Before we get to November’s astrology, let’s get you prepped as December marks the end of a major chapter and this month is the final leg in a journey that began at the start of 2018. As I’ve been mentioning off and on over the past few years, Cancer, you’re in a phase of life that’s all about relationships, from how you connect, socialize, and interact with others, to major milestones in the form of new relationships and the end of old ones. If you think of it like you’ve been in school the past few years, earning a degree in partnership, then November as well as December brings the final marks and feedback. Something to contemplate this month. That said, Scorpio Season is the time for you to play, have fun, and express who you are. Play and fun are not the words usually associated with Scorpio, but it’s a sign that gives you to powerfully connect to who you are and helps you to open up your creative side. The month begins just after a full moon, one that awakened a story about friends and community, an area that you likely have seen some change in the past couple of years. The other big story this month is that Mars finally turns direct in Aries on November 13 after two months of pulling back and possibly making things a little complicated in your professional life. If Mars in Aries, your career sign, means that the second half of 2020 has put a lot of focus on your ambition and direction, then September until November was a time when you had to pull back and get a second look at things. But once Mars starts to move forward, your career is going to start to move forward again. Or, something stalled may start to heat right back up. Then on November 15 a new moon opens a new lunar month focused on creative endeavors, putting yourself out into the world, and sharing your talents with the world. But when the Sun arrives in Sagittarius on November 21 it not only kicks off a new season focused on health, wellness, and taking care of yourself as well as your day-to-day life, but it opens eclipse season. Yes, it’s been six months since the eclipses of June and July that brought a close to some of the ups and downs when the eclipses were in Cancer and Capricorn. A lunar eclipse on November 30, however, lights up a part of your chart that’s about letting go of the past, going on retreat, and making a stronger connection to spirituality and your intuition. As a Cancer, you’re already an intuitive sign. You may find that over the coming weeks and months your intuition is getting stronger. Or you’re needing to reflect, search within, and meditate more. It’s also an eclipse to shed any addictions and attachments. So, as the Sun in Sagittarius has you reevaluating your physical health, you may find that you’re ready to let somethings go that are no longer nourishing you body, mind, and soul. Want a deeper look at how November will affect you? Book your one-on-one consultation now.
Key Themes: Persona, identity, creativity, talent, self expression, the essence of who you are, performance, career, professional life, professional ambitions, direction, public life, children, fun, play, health, wellness, diet, fitness, nutrition, taking care of the body, work, projects, organization, duty, responsibility, spiritual health, spirituality, letting go, retreat, reflection, inward search, dreams, intuition, spiritual connection, shedding addictions, shedding attachments.
Leo
July 23–August 22
How’s it hanging, Leo? Things shaking up on your end? You step into November right off a full moon, one that not only lit up your career sign of Taurus, but put the spotlight on some larger career changes that have been brewing since 2018. (You may have some major decisions to make about your professional life later this month as Venus meets with Saturn on November 19.) And with the Sun in Scorpio for most of this November, you may be in a reflective moon as a result. Scorpio Season is one of the times when you pull inward, focusing on the home and family, and tending to the foundation that your life rests upon. One of the more important notes about this month is that Mars finally turns direct on November 13 after a two month retrograde. Since Mars is the planet that connects to home and family, it’s possible that something stalled or in review on the home front can now move forward, especially if it’s a legal matter. And if you’re looking to make big changes in the home, such as a move or a renovation or redecoration project, a new moon on November 15 gives you the new beginning. It may also be a time when you’re organizing, starting projects, and focusing on your to-do list. But it also is a reminder that we’re in the last stretches of Saturn’s time in Capricorn, your sign of health, fitness, nutrition, and taking care of the body as well as the practical details of daily living. It’s possible that health has been a huge focus over the last few years. Maybe you’ve made significant changes in diet or tend to your body in ways you haven’t before. Even though much of the conversation is happening elsewhere this month, let’s not forget that Saturn will leave this part of your astrology chart on December 17 and wants you to wrap up the lessons you’ve been learning. The other thing to note this month is that it’s eclipse season. Yes, it’s that time of year again. There’s an expectation in the air. The great stage of our lives prepares for the curtain to come down on one act and open up on another. For you, these upcoming eclipses activate stories around social connection, belonging and self knowing who you are. (It also activates a story around children and pregnancy if that’s something relevant for you.) The Sun’s arrival in Sagittarius on November 21 kicks the season off as you turn to themes around faith, truth, and meaning as well as identity and self. Then a Gemini Full Moon lunar eclipse on November 30 ends the month by putting the spotlight on friends, community, and your goals for the future. You may have a download about a potential future or you may receive information about a friend. New allies and community may be coming in, too. That said, although you’re usually in an upbeat mood this time of year, you may be navigating a lot of major responsibilities and duties as you prepare for the holiday season, one that may be more focused on work and projects than usual. That said, show Saturn that you’re on top of things by tying up loose ends and making new commitments to your overall health and wellness. Want a deeper look at how November will affect you? Book your one-on-one consultation now.

Virgo
August 23–September 22
Virgo, you’re coming to the end of a couple of stories this month, one that has played out over the short term while another spans a much longer period of time. First, let’s start with Mercury, your ruling planet. It’s been in and out of Scorpio for the last five weeks and, as it turns direct on November 3, brings you back to events, choices, and decisions from the last week of September. Mercury not only pivots direct in Libra, your sign of money and resource, but it does so in aspect to Saturn. If something has been unresolved or unclear, it may become soberingly clear with Mercury direct. You may be more informed of the decisions you have to make going forward, especially if it’s a financial decision or a decision about career and direction. The other story starting to come to a close is one that began at the start of 2018, one that put a major focus on how you value your talents, express who you are, and take yourself seriously in the world. Virgo has a habit of putting others first, which isn’t always the best, especially if it means undercutting self confidence and self worth. With Saturn coming to the final weeks of its time in Capricorn, the pressure is on for you to show that you’ve taken these lessons to heart and done the work to grow and mature. So, have you? That said, it’s Scorpio Season, a time when you may be busy with appointments or places to go. Scorpio has an obsessive side and either you’re fixated on learning as much as you can right now, taking classes, reading books, and the likes, or you’re focused on saying something important. Mars, the ruler of Scorpio, wraps up its retrograde this month, on November 13, and points to themes around vulnerability, intimacy, and facing your fears, whether real or imagined. It’s a deeply psychological season for you, one of soul searching and delving into your hidden corners. When Mercury returns to Scorpio on November 10 followed by a Scorpio New Moon on November 15, this inner exploration and reflection kicks up in earnest. It’s time for new choices, new ideas, and a deeper understanding of your hidden motives that sometimes get in the way. But when the Sun gets to Sagittarius on November 21, it brings you into eclipse season and a time when the wheel of life turns in a new direction for you. Since Sagittarius is your sign of home and family, roots and foundation, you may be seeing changes in the home brewing as you go into December. This may include a move or people joining (or leaving) the household. Emotions may be tense, too, as Jupiter makes its way past Pluto in Capricorn this month. But it’s the Gemini Full Moon lunar eclipse on November 30 that puts the spotlight on career and direction. As a result, you may also see changes in your professional life, from a change in position or a promotion to public recognition or anything that affects status, title, or reputation. Just keep in mind that your career is generally an area where you’re seeing things come into your life over the coming months. Want a deeper look at how November will affect you? Book your one-on-one consultation now.
Key Themes: Money, income, material needs, resources, purchases, serious decisions, investigation, searching for clues, searching for answers, information, ideas, learning, education, classes, reading, writing, speaking, communication, travel, trips, movement, the neighborhood, local, home, family, living situation, the household, roots, foundation, parents, a move, change in the home, direction, professional life, career, ambition, public life, title, status, reputation, recognition, responsibilities.
Libra
September 23–October 22
What a year it’s been, right Libra? What a decade it’s been, actually. Scorpio Season means we’re rounding out an unforgettable year, one that brings to a close an astrological chapter that began at the start of 2018. For you, the past few years have been about home and family, planting down roots, and taking care of responsibilities in the home. It’s also been a time that has perhaps dredged up a lot of old emotions and feelings spanning way back, to childhood … to ancestral patterns. So, as you arrive in November, you’re feeling pressure from Saturn to make some serious decisions. If you’ve been looking to move and trying to decide where or how it will all look, time for some clarity this month, especially as you get closer to December. If anything is unresolved in the home, it’s time to resolve it. Speaking of potentially unresolved, Mars comes to the end of its retrograde this month, on November 13, and seeing how Mars is your relationship planet, this may mean that something unfinished, unresolved, or needing attention can now start to move forward. If you’re in a relationship that has had some unclarity, especially since the start of September, things can hopefully become clear. Mars is a bit hot in this part of your chart. It can be impatient or aggressive, requiring you to renegotiate or settle something that’s flaring up. Or it feels like a partner has the upper hand. Nevertheless, relationships and connection are a strong focus this month and will be into the start of the new year. That said, it’s Scorpio Season for most of November and it’s the season to focus on money and spending, what you own and what you need. Just keep in mind that Mars is also your money planet and it’s retrograde for half the month, so if you’re looking to make a big purchase or investment, try to wait until after November 13. (Heads up, Mercury comes out of retrograde on November 3 as well.) Speaking of Mercury, it arrives back in Scorpio on November 10 and is best used to investigate or do your due diligence before making any large purchase or investment. In fact, a Scorpio New Moon on November 15 opens a lunar month and, thus, a four week period where money, income, spending, and investment will be highlighted. Better use the second half of this month to make any big financial moves. In other news, Venus is in Libra for most of this month, a return home for the planet of beauty, charm, grace, and partnership. You’re getting a little bit of a spring in your step after a year that’s had its share of ups and downs. You feel more social, more outgoing perhaps as well. When the Sun arrives in Sagittarius on November 21, you enter a new season that may be a bit busy with things to do or responsibilities to take care of, especially in the home or with family members. Do keep in mind that usually Sagittarius Season is a bit upbeat, but with Jupiter rounding its way past Pluto for the rest of the month, some deep emotions or something deep from the past may come to the surface. Pluto has a tendency to reveal what is hidden. That said, this is a season that focuses on communication, travel, and education. It’s a time for new ideas and ways of thinking. Or, to share your ideas with a greater public. A full moon on November 30, also a lunar eclipse and the beginning of eclipse season, does just that. It’s a lunar eclipse that highlights broadcast and publishing, wisdom and knowledge. You may need to make a major decision about your education or what you believe in. Faith, truth, and meaning all take center stage, too. Although travel is a bit difficult at the moment, you’re in a longer period of time going into next year where long distance or even foreign travel is highlighted. Something to keep in mind for the future. Want a deeper look at how November will affect you? Book your one-on-one consultation now.
Key Themes: Home, family, responsibilities in the home, parental responsibilities, living situation, committing where to live, relationships, other people, partner, socialization, interaction, negotiation, compromise, argument with a partner, seeing eye to eye, beauty, charm, grace, manners, money, income, material needs, spending, purchases, investments, loans, property, ownership, resources, investigation, information, ideas, voice, communication, speaking, writing, learning, education, classes.
Scorpio
October 23–November 21
Happy birthday, Scorpio! (Happy Zoom birthday, Scorpio??) You usually prefer small intimate gatherings, and, well, that seems to be the name of the game right now. That said, there are a few things to keep in mind this season. First, your ruling planet Mars is still retrograde, at least until November 13. This means that things are a little different than usual. Life has not only pulled you inward, but you’ve been super focused on work and projects for the last few months. Scorpio has workaholic tendencies and maybe you’ve seen that come up a lot of late. Or, with the retrograde, you’re very much aware of what needs to be put back into balance as you come into this new personal year. The other thing is that Mars has been in a tight spot with Jupiter, Pluto, and Saturn in Capricorn. If you think back, you’ve probably seen a lot going on in the second half of 2020, having to build, structure, or even rebuild things. You may also have been using this energy to clean out, organize, and get on top of a health matter. That said, you kick the month off with a full moon in Taurus, putting the spotlight on relationship and partnership as well as a story that’s been brewing since 2018, one where you are reinventing how you connect to people. If you’re in an existing relationship, you may have to make a decision about the partnership. Or, someone new may be coming in, someone with whom you may even have a past connection with. When Mercury returns to Scorpio on November 10 you may feel more social, chatty, or ready to dive back into solving a mystery. But things don’t finally get moving until the middle of the month with Mars turns direct on November 13 followed by a Scorpio New Moon on November 15. The new moon is like a personal reset, a moment during your season when you can set intentions for the coming twelve months. And where are things headed in 2021? You’re starting to arc towards a chapter of time where it’s about settling down no matter what your phase of life is. This may include a future move, purchase of a home, or a decision to make family a priority. That said, before that can happen, note that Saturn is coming up to the end of its time in Capricorn, your sign of communication, education, and choice. As a result, as you get closer to December 17, the day Saturn finally leaves Capricorn, not to return for another thirty years, you’re becoming more aware of the power of your words, the serious decisions you have to make, and the lasting impact of what you’ve learned since 2018 if not 2008. On November 21 Venus arrives in Scorpio, giving you a dash of glamor and seduction as you go into the rest of the month. On the same day the Sun arrives in Sagittarius, which means that it’s time to say goodbye to your season unfortunately. Sagittarius Season is not only a time to find faith as well as search for truth and meaning in uncertain times, but it’s also one of your money signs. The rest of the month turns your focus towards how you earn a living, spending, purchasing, and creating more material stability. But this also kicks off eclipse season and brings us to a November 30 lunar eclipse in Gemini, your other money sign. November as well as December puts a strong emphasis on finance, assets, wealth, and benefits. It also touches on deep emotions and transformation work. You know, something that you don’t normally shy away from, Scorpio. Surely you’ll be arriving at the end of 2020, an unforgettable year, in a very different place than you were at the start of it.

Sagittarius
November 22–December 21
What a year, Sag. When you think back to this time in 2019, what’s changed? When the Sun arrives in Scorpio, it brings you to the end of your zodiac calendar and to a time that’s meant for you to retreat, reflect, and shed any baggage you don’t want to bring forward into your new personal year. It hasn’t been easy having Jupiter, your ruling planet, in a tight spot with Saturn and Pluto. It’s like you’ve spent the last twelve months taking a jackhammer to things such as your relationship with money, trust, and self worth. Outside of Saturn and Pluto’s influence this year, this was supposed to be a time about creating more of a solid ground in your life. It’s just that that solid ground had to be completely different than the past. That’s not to say that there weren’t silver linings this year. Ever the eternal optimist, you’ve likely been digging hard into your faith and need to understand things on a greater level. That said, here’s a few things to keep in mind as you do your inner work. One, you’ve got a month left until Saturn leaves Capricorn for Aquarius on December 17, joined soon after by Jupiter. You may be feeling a pressure to consolidate assets and resources and show Saturn you know exactly what you’re worth. Two, November is the run up to eclipse season and seeing how this round of eclipses are in Gemini and Sagittarius, life is starting to shift and turn. If you recall, eclipse season happens every six months and during the previous round you had a lunar eclipse in Sagittarius on June 5, kicking off a whole new chapter of personal change and new beginnings. The upcoming lunar eclipse, on November 30, is in Gemini, your relationship sign, a reminder that the next eighteen months are about bringing in new partnership and connection. Since eclipse energy has a habit of showing up a month or so before, be on the lookout for new people in your life, new stories around partnership, or a need to change an existing partnership. That said, Mercury, your relationship planet, turns direct on November 3. Things can start to move forward, especially with a friend or a member of your community. Career matters and professional alliances may need some smoothing out and reworking, too, especially when Mercury meets up with Saturn on November 6. Then on November 10 Mercury moves into Scorpio for the rest of the month and it’s time to focus on your spiritual life as well as your hidden (or not so hidden) psychic abilities. Do keep in mind that Jupiter makes its last conjunction to Pluto on November 12 for the next twelve years. (Fun fact: Jupiter joined up with Pluto on April 4 and June 30, 2020. Before that, December 11, 2007….) What this means that you’re under intense pressure to transform. Like the pressure needed to turn carbon into a diamond, Pluto is pushing you to face yourself, to dig deep into anything that’s not supporting you, even if it’s emotional, even if it’s fears around money and self worth. A Scorpio New Moon on November 15 takes you deeper into your hidden unknown and you may feel like you have a foot in one world and a foot in another as you arrive in Sagittarius Season on November 21. That said, time to kick off your birthday season and celebrate that Jupiter will finally leave Capricorn on December 19. Whee! You’re leaving behind a year-long chapter and stepping into another that will be all about community, equity, social issues, education, communication, and travel. Maybe you’ll get to travel again, Sagittarius. But with the South Node of the Moon in Sagittarius until the end of 2021, it probably won’t be super far.

Capricorn
December 22–January 19
You’re almost at the finish line, the end of quite possibly a difficult three year period. Then again, you’ve had your ups and downs over the last decade if we’re being honest, but Saturn’s time in Capricorn since the start of 2018 has put you to the test. And with Pluto also in Capricorn, you’re not the same person you were three years ago or even the same person at the start of 2020. What have you learned? Saturn isn’t capricious or malicious. No, it’s your ruling planet. It just sets a high bar for you and the whole goal of this time, like a proving ground, was to get you to be the best version of yourself. That said, it’s Scorpio Season this month and Scorpio is your sign of community, friendships, and looking towards the future. Since you’re an ambitious sign, what are your goals for 2021? Never have to go through this again? (Lol.) If you’re spending more time with friends and community this month, they’re likely close friends or friends who are either like family or with whom you have a strong emotional bond with. Another thing to keep in mind this month is that Mars comes out of retrograde on November 13. Think back to June 27, 2020. That was the day that Mars first arrived in Aries and kicked off a six month period of sometimes intense focus on home, family, and household. Perhaps you moved. Perhaps you’re moving again. Perhaps the home environment has been anything but settled as Mars made a series of tense aspects to Jupiter, Pluto, and Saturn. That said, things can start to move forward or have a more of a clear path forward. If you’ve been trying to get something finalized in the home environment, it may take until the end of the year, though. A Scorpio New Moon on November 15 has you hoping and dreaming for the future. You’re looking ahead after a tumultuous year and you’re also thinking about further putting down roots or tending to your foundation over the coming four weeks. The Sun’s arrival in Sagittarius, however, brings you to the end of a personal year. It’s time to shed the past, let go, and retreat inward to reflect and rest. The start of Sagittarius Season is also the start of eclipse season, although to be fair you’re feeling it all month. Yes, it’s eclipse season again. The good news is that the eclipses are not in Cancer or Capricorn like they were in 2018 through the first half of 2020. (That was another thing adding to all the personal ups and downs you were experiencing.) But a lunar eclipse on November 30 in Gemini puts the spotlight on health, wellness, and needing to take more care of your physical body. You’ve been through a lot, Capricorn, time to make sure you’re getting enough exercise, eating the right foods for your body, and making those checkups with the doctor. And if you’re looking to let go of old habits and addictions, this is the perfect time as well. All as you prepare for Saturn to leave Capricorn on December 17, not to return for another thirty years. So, make sure you have your life in order as much as you can as you go into December. That’s all Saturn wants.. Want a deeper look at how November will affect you? Book your one-on-one consultation now.

Aquarius
January 20–February 18
It’s Scorpio Season, your time to focus on career, professional ambitions, and the direction. But with Mars Retrograde the past couple of months, you’ve had to go back and rework something. After all, Mars is your career planet and retrogrades are a time when we can’t push forward. Instead we have to take a second look at how we’ve been doing something and take a fresh approach. If things have been unsettled or even rocky in your professional life, you should have more drive and motivation to move forward after November 13. You’re also having to either make some big decisions or negotiate different power dynamics, especially anything going on behind the scenes. There’s also a new moon in Scorpio on November 15, opening a new lunar month with renewed focus on your professional life. The next four weeks, into December, may bring a new job, a change in title, or a new page in an ongoing story. That said, the other big thing to keep in mind this month is that Saturn, your ruling planet, is coming to the end of its time in Capricorn, a sign that it’s spent the better part of three years in. This means that you’re coming to the end of a time designed for you to shed the past and end out a thirty year chapter. (Yes, thirty years.) As an Aquarius, your ruling planet is Saturn and this means that your life runs on Saturn time, which is to say on these thirty year arcs with two and a half to three year sub chapters as Saturn moves through each sign of the zodiac. Since Capricorn is the sign that precedes yours, think of 2018-2020 as a time to assess and review after a long personal story. Like going through old boxes and stuff stashed away in closets, you’re cleaning out your old life. And what I’ve been telling you, Aquarius, is to be very mindful of what you bring into the next chapter that starts on December 17 because once it’s with you, it’s with you for the next thirty years. (Did that strike a chord?) But the big news this month is that we’re in the gate for the latest round of eclipses. Yes, it’s eclipse season and the Sun’s arrival in Sagittarius makes it more apparent that the wheel of life is preparing to turn. Life is starting to get a little loud and dramatic. It’s as if the curtain is coming down on one scene and coming up on another. Old characters leave the stage while others enter. The Gemini Full Moon lunar eclipse on November 30 puts the spotlight on self expression, creativity, personality, identity, and talent. In short, it’s a full moon that’s demanding that you be yourself. (It’s also a full moon that could coincide with pregnancy; just a heads up in case that’s relevant and wanted. Eclipses mark the major milestones of our lives and children can be a part of that.) You may be gearing up to start a creative project or making time for more performance in your life. That said, you’re starting to come to the end of a major personal chapter. Honor and reflect on the journey that you’ve been on. Want a deeper look at how November will affect you?

Pisces
February 19–March 20
Whew, Pisces. What a year. You’ve been in a similar boat to some of other signs as your ruling planet, Jupiter, has been in a tight spot all year long with Saturn and Pluto. These are two planets that have been a massive evolutionary force for something to change in your life. A lot of this change has been centered on community, friendship, and strengthening social bonds. But, perhaps this came at a greater cost. And with Saturn in this part of your astrology chart from 2018-2020, it’s possible that the people who were a part of your life two, three years ago are not here now. As tough as this has been at times, the goal has been to have rock solid alliances and a better appreciation to the people in your networks and communities. So, as you wrap up another year, what have you learned? What still needs to be refined? What still needs to be transformed? Jupiter meets up with Pluto on November 12 and it’s like you pass through an invisible gate between the old you and the new you, the pressure of life having changed you from lead to gold, carbon to diamond. That said, let’s not too ahead of ourselves. It’s Scorpio Season this month, a time in your personal calendar that’s usually about jetting off to long distance or far flung locales. While travel is a bit difficult at the moment, you may be dreaming of remote destinations to visit when this all clears up. Or, you may be trying to figure out what you believe in after all that’s happened. As a Pisces, you’re a sign that likes answers and you’re often searching for deeper meaning. Education may also be a priority, too, this month, especially after the Scorpio New Moon on November 15. In other news, two planets change directions this month, one of which is a big player in your astrology. Mercury turns direct on November 3, possibly revealing something hidden or helping you to work through a deeper emotional issue. It also means that something in your home, family, or relationships can start to move forward or be resolved. But you may be feeling things on a heavier note as you come into the new month. The other planet changing direction this month is Mars. It moves forward in your money sign of Aries on November 13. In fact, money, spending, and material needs have been a big focus since July. And if there’s something financial that’s been unresolved or complicated, Mars direct should give you more clarity. The point of Mars Retrograde was to get a different perspective on value, even if that meant your own value. That said, on November 10 Mercury changes signs, moving back into Scorpio. You may have itchy feet, so to speak, wanting to move and travel or go on a hunt for wisdom and knowledge. But when the Sun arrives in Sagittarius, your career sign, on November 21, it’s a reminder that we’re in the gate for another eclipse. Yes, it’s eclipse season again, which means life’s about to get a little interesting. For you, over the coming twelve to eighteen months, you’ll be seeing a lot of change in your professional as well as your home life. The lunar eclipse in Gemini on November 30 puts the spotlight home and family, roots and foundation. It’s not uncommon for there to be a move when an eclipse happens in this part of the chart. Or, there’s a change in the household. Meaning people move in, people move out, or you welcome in new family members. Something to keep in mind, Pisces! December is going to bring the end of one story and the beginning of another. Want a deeper look at how November will affect you? Book your one-on-one consultation now.
