Your November Horoscope Is Here—And It’s Going To Be An ‘Intense’ Month, Says An Astrologer
Right now, you might be asking yourself some big questions—about your greater purpose in the world, about what makes you feel joyous and alive, about what to share and what to keep to yourself. But you’re not alone. In fact, the entire zodiac is dealing with some pretty intense energy this November.
This month is about putting on your detective hat and seeing life clearly so you can end 2024 on a high note. And this is especially heightened during the new moon in Scorpio on the 1st, says Donna Page, an Atlanta-based astrologer with a graduate degree in counseling psychology. There’s an “intense” energy in the air, and all the signs will see it show up in their relationships—specifically, with regards to whether they should discuss these big questions and ideas. “The new moon is about knowing when to be very open, and when to know that not everybody needs to know all your business,” Page says.
As usual, there are some other dates to take note of this month, too. Mars, the planet of action, moves into the fire sign Leo on the 3rd, sparking passion, creativity, and confidence for all of the signs. This is a time to follow your heart's desires. Venus, the planet of love and pleasure, enters the practical earth sign of Capricorn on the 11th, making for a dose of seriousness and long-term thinking in romance.
Halfway through the month, the full moon in Taurus on the 15th will bring another layer of “intensity,” says Page. At the same time, Saturn, the planet of structure and discipline, moves direct. The combination of these celestial happenings will allow anything that has felt sticky or uncomfortable to move forward seamlessly, she says.
The sun enters Sagittarius on the 21st, bringing a lighter energy to the table. Expect adventures and fun times as you head into the holiday season. One quick potential snag, though: Mercury, the planet of communication, is going retrograde on November 25, just in time for Thanksgiving travel. Consider this your official notice to triple-check everything with your travel itinerary to avoid any missed flights or communication mix-ups.
Wondering what all this means for your sign? Ahead is Page’s analysis:
ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19)
This November starts with a bit of personal excavation, as the Scorpio new moon on the 1st invites you to dig deep, Aries. What's the hidden truth you've been avoiding? Ponder this, and hopefully, confront any hidden worries head-on at the start of the month.
Then, the full moon in Taurus on the 15th aligns with Saturn, the planet of discipline and long-term goals. Consider this an astrological kick in the butt. If you're out of alignment with your true purpose in life–whether that’s a new career, a creative project, or the kind of romantic relationship you know you'd like–November asks you to recalibrate and celebrate your growth, too. Make decisions that set your heart on fire, Aries; you are a fire sign, after all. Listen to your heart, and you’ll have a month full of passion, not pressure.
TAURUS (APRIL 20 - MAY 20)
Do you have something on your mind, Taurus? The Scorpio new moon on the 1st asks you to reflect. Scorpio is your astrological opposite, making this placement particularly potent for you. You’re halfway through the year, and it’s time to see if your actions match up to those goals you set for yourself when you blew out the candles on your cake six months ago. Pay particular attention to your romantic and business partners; the stars indicate the need for a fresh start with solid communication. If you’ve been worried about whether you can trust the people supporting you, it’s time to examine why that may be, and course-correct.
On the 11th, Venus, your ruling planet, and the planet of love, moves into Earth sign Capricorn, making it easier for you to stay grounded and see situations and people for who they are. The full moon in your sign on the 15th illuminates anything else bubbling beneath the surface so you can end 2024 crystal-clear on your intentions.
GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 20)
November brings some serious “get your sh*t together” energy, Gemini. The new moon in Scorpio on the 1st hits your sixth house of health and productivity, so make sure your routines are streamlined and organized. Got a work project on the back burner? Time to dust it off! Mars, the planet of action, moves into fiery Leo on the 3rd, giving you all the motivation (and maybe a little impatience) to make bold moves in your communication. But remember: Mars can be a bit hasty, so think before you hit send on any fiery texts.
The full moon on the 15th reminds you that you need downtime, too; so, plan a cozy night in with your favorite rom-com, or get wild with some unexpected plans. This month’s theme is balancing efficiency with relaxation, helping you end the year with purpose—and maybe a few extra self-care rituals.
CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22)
The Scorpio new moon on the 1st has romance in the air, Cancer. This month is all about connecting on a deeper level. Did a cutie at your coffee shop catch your eye? Shoot your shot! This month’s energy is perfect for stepping up intimacy in existing and budding relationships—just be ready to bring your full, unfiltered self. But love isn’t the only thing on your mind: With Mars, the planet of action, moving into the fire sign Leo on the 3rd, you’ll be thinking about finances, too. This will kick you into gear to bring in any extra cash necessary to fund that holiday season splurge.
Mid-month, the Taurus full moon on the 15th has you missing your friends. So, gather up the gang for a little Friendsgiving! November asks you to get cozy with those you trust, add a sparkle to your love life, and avoid letting holiday stress mess with your mood.
LEO (JULY 23 - AUGUST 22)
November brings a wave of fresh energy into your personal life, Leo. The Scorpio new moon on the 1st lands in your home sector, sparking the urge for a little transformation on the home front. Maybe it’s finally time to paint that accent wall or rearrange your space for holiday vibes. (All those lights you pre-ordered on Amazon aren’t going to hang themselves, after all!)
Mars, your ruling planet and the planet of action, enters your sign on the 3rd, bringing the heat. This placement will prepare you to stand out and stake your claim at work. And this energy, combined with the Taurus full moon on the 15th, points to a possible significant career shift or exciting new project, so keep your eyes and mind open. This month is about balancing your drive for recognition with time spent enjoying your home base. Stay authentic to what makes you unique, and you’ll glide through November’s intensity with style.
VIRGO (AUGUST 23 - SEPTEMBER 22)
If your conversations have been feeling a little surface-level lately, expect to dive deep in November. The Scorpio new moon on the 1st has you feeling reflective and ready to open up. While it can be scary to be honest with people—whether those are your friends, family, coworkers, or even strangers—real conversations can lead to genuine connections and breakthroughs. It’s time to speak what’s on your mind clearly and courageously. Mars, the planet of action, moves into fiery, attention-loving Leo on the 3rd, encouraging you again to speak your truth. Take risks and enjoy the rewards, Virgo. Just make sure you don’t burn yourself out!
When the full moon in Taurus arrives on the 15th, you may feel inspired to get out of your comfort zone with a trip or even a new class. If you’re looking for romance this month, Virgo, you will likely find it. Enter any plans with an open mind and heart, and sparks may fly.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 - OCTOBER 22)
Libra, what makes you feel confident and self-assured? November is a month to pinpoint where you gain your self-worth and what makes you truly valued, especially around the new moon in Scorpio on the 1st. It is time to get honest about your finances, which may be playing a role in your overall view of yourself. Get organized, and see if you forgot about any lingering subscriptions or commitments you can let go of in favor of something that excites you. Maybe you swap that Equinox membership you’ve been scared to cancel for a class-pass that lets you dabble in all your favorite activities, from trampoline to ballet.
Don’t spend so much time budgeting and journaling that you forget to see your friends and family, though–it’s all about balance. Get things together at the beginning of the month so you can enjoy some much-needed QT with your loved ones for Thanksgiving.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 - NOVEMBER 21)
You are the center of attention this month, Scorpio. On November 1st, the new moon in Scorpio makes the astrological energy potent for you. We’re smack in the middle of your season, and this new moon encourages you to set intentions about personal goals and reinvention in the year ahead. Setting your mind to these goals and making a plan during this time will make them all the more likely to come to fruition. Mars, the planet of action, moves into fiery Leo on the 3rd, bringing a spicy energy into your career. Don’t be afraid to step into the spotlight and take up space, Scorpio. Your innovative ideas need to be heard.
This is a good month for your love life, too. If you’re single, your magnetic energy will likely draw someone special into your life this month; and if you’re in a relationship, it’s the perfect time for a date night, or maybe a romantic birthday celebration. Enjoy the ride this month, and make sure to schedule some self-care!
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 - DECEMBER 21)
Sagittarius, you may not want to hear this, but you need rest. November and the Scorpio new moon on the 1st are making you feel introspective, and maybe even a little exhausted. You’ve had a busy few months, and it’s time to recalibrate. Journal about all that’s going on and where you want to be in your next year of life. This is a great time to lay out your long-term plans and break them into “to-dos” for your next turn around the sun. The full moon in Taurus on the 15th emphasizes this energy, encouraging you to set a routine for your wellness and work before your birthday and the holiday season, which have you booked and busy AF.
By the time the sun enters your sign on the 21st, you’ll feel like your usual outgoing, fun-loving self again. Prepare yourself for exciting times ahead!
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 - JANUARY 19)
Capricorn, you are feeling like a social butterfly this month. The new moon in Scorpio on the 1st highlights your social sector, just in time for the holiday plans and parties to get rolling. Make plans for the Friendsgiving of your dreams, and enjoy time with all the friends you can never seem to find the time to see.
If you’re craving a little romance, too, you’re in luck. Venus, the planet of love and pleasure, enters your sign on the 11th, making you a magnet for good energy. As you lean into your creative side this month, you may be inspired to take on a new project or lover. If you’re in a relationship, this month may lead to more intimacy—both in conversation and in the bedroom. November is about packing your schedule with fun, but make sure you get your work done, too, Capricorn.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 - FEBRUARY 18)
November asks you to balance your ambition and wildest dreams with your love life, Aquarius—although both are looking great this month. As much as you like to live in the moment, planning is necessary, especially around your career. The Scorpio new moon on the 1st invites you to set yourself up for success in all areas of your life. Journal, or meditate, on where you want to be in five years. Then, you can take daily steps to reach those goals. When you get clear on where you're headed, you’ll have a new, refreshed focus that can catapult you toward your goals.
If you’ve been wondering where the LOYL is or just feeling a little blah in your relationship, November will bring the spicy energy you’ve been looking for. Mars, the planet of action, is bringing the heat to your romantic relationship, so expect wild nights with bae or incredible dates that will leave you fantasizing about your next hang.
PISCES (FEBRUARY 19 - MARCH 20)
Ready to step outside your comfort zone, Pisces? November starts with a Scorpio new moon on the 1st in your house of expansion, which could inspire you to dive into some new knowledge or plan a little trip. Challenging yourself to think in new ways will set you up for success as 2024 winds down.
Then, the full moon in Taurus on the 15th asks you to consider what you’re not saying. Are you holding back from communicating with the people in your life? If so, it’s time to open up and speak your truth, whether that’s asking for a raise or reaching out to an old friend or lover you want to reconnect with. Lean on your community for support as you navigate any tough conversations. Your people want to be there for you, no matter what you are navigating. You are expanding this month, but if you use your self-care tools and loved ones for support, it’ll be a lot easier.
