November Astrology

Scorpio - Oct 23 - Nov 21

Play a game with yourself. Let it be that you are the best detective in the world because you have a special device that can hear what’s being said, anywhere in the world. Now listen for the thing you want to hear. The trick is in the fact that although you can hear anything you want, you can’t always interpret it. Interpretation is the Scorpio challenge especially on the 6th, 11th, 19th and 24th. To interpret, you need another magical device that helps you to filter your intense reaction to what you hear. Some people call that device a therapist. From the 15th begins an intense period of inner discovery for a few months. Get down with it and you will have access to the mystery of YOU!

Sagittarius - November 22 - December 20

The search for truth is neverending which indicates something very significant: one moment’s truth may not be the same as the next. The relative behaviour of truth is maddening to the rank fundamentalist. It’s a constant delight to the seeker. Reach for wisdom in high places – like the top shelf at the library – on the 4th, 7th, 19th, 21st, 26th. If romance seems to regress after the 15th, consider the inner child. S/he can rule the roost when people get upset. But no one in their right mind would leave a child to navigate the ins and outs of adult romance. Give your inner child some quality attention from the 19th - 27th so your outer adult can have dominion over relationship issues. The 30th is a pinnacle of hard work and honest effort. Worth every drop of sweat. 

Capricorn - December 21 - January 19

Information that has eluded you about a difficult subject finally comes to your attention this month. What is so imporant to you may not become clear until the 16th - 21st. Whether or not you realize it, all your efforts at excellence since September have been motivated by a deep desire to learn as much as you can. This is good. You have enrolled in the School of Life Experience. From the 24th - 30th it will be useful to remember this as you may be very busy and it will be hard to remember the forest exists for the trees in your path. Step into relationship challenges as of the 15th. Any relationship worth its salt has to be able to survive a period of debate or challenge. Take the challenge! 

Aquarius - January 20 - February 17

Everything you work hard for on the 4th is worth the effort but it may take awhile until you see the actual reward. Your main issue this month is about the way you live: your job, your habits, what you eat and how you think. No need to achieve or even strive for perfection. More like a time to integrate all the information you have about what would make your life healthier and more meaningful. Be suspicious of people who have the panacea (for a small price). Challenge the one who says: “Trust me to guide you. I have the answers.” On the 24th trust love over and above opinions and on the 30th put your shoulder to the wheel for someone you truly respect who needs support. 

Pisces - February 18 - March 19

All the strange expectations and mixed messages you have been feeling from your significant other start to make sense on the 1st. Passionate behaviour on the 6th leaves something to be desired in its wake. Understanding begins to dawn after the 10th but only for a moment. On the 19th passion rises again and is even more confusing. Longing is your thing. You were born with a hunger for something other. The trick is to plumb the depths of that longing, not to try to get what you think you want. More intelligent is to be grateful for what you have and open yourself to your feelings. Brilliant ideas are as annoying as they are inspiring from the 21st - 30th. An idea is only irritating because it wants to be made manifest. 

Aries - March 20 - April 19

All things home and family have your name on them. There might be money involved; the kind you spend and the kind you inherit. Pay what you owe and accept what you have coming to you. Good news on the 4th. Stressful issues between the 16th - 19th are more easily resolved if you listen to sub-currents as well as to the obvious. Don’t expect your partner to have the brilliant solution – at least not until the 26th. There is a song in the air around the 24th. It’s time to lighten the load of all the domestic demands. Celebrate the amazing soul of humans and how it always finds a way to shine through in art, music and dance. Work hard on the 30th just for the sake of it.   

Taurus - April 20 - May 20

Passionate words make total sense on the 4th but by the 6th there is doubt. Perhaps they were meant differently than you thought. It’s true that just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean someone isn’t after you but wait until the 11th and even if things don’t make more sense, true feeling will be easier to discern. The topsy-turvy quality of communication will be with you for a while. It won’t be much of a problem if you cultivate the habit of listening to your inner voice before you listen to anything else. Keep a journal for the next six months. More passionate communications quicken the blood between the16th - 22nd. High aspirations on the 26th require much effort on the 30th.  

Gemini - May 21 - June 20

Money is your personal theme for a while. You may have it, love it, need it, hate it or owe it. You might even think it makes the world go around. Actually it doesn’t. What makes your world go around is how you handle that money. Consider the needs of your partner on the 6th or pay the price. Begin a month of taking care of your health on the 10th. Consider the needs of your partner again on the 19th and be rewarded by his/her appreciation. From the 23rd - 26th is your best time of the month. Be creative, open your heart to love, dress up and play. By the 30th it’s back to work, especially if it’s homework – the kind you get in school or the kind you do to fix the plumbing. 

Cancer - June 21 - July 21

It’s a non-stop period in your life. No matter how much you get done there is always the fact that you need exercise or you have to clean up your house, or your studio or something. Be dynamic on the 4th. Get a massage on the 6th. Take a risk on the 7th and see if you can believe in yourself enough to have some fun, fall in love, express yourself creatively after the 10th. From the 15th and especially on the 19th your mandate should be, I respond, not react. Counting to ten will work every time. Let life unfold as it will on the 24th. Envision house beautiful on the 26th. Roll up your sleeves if you really want it on the 30th. 

Leo - July 22 - August 22

Now is an excellent time to explore the mysteries of life. Listen to your dreams, investigate the occult and/or research something that you are fascinated but not knowledgeable about. Time spent alone and engaged will be worth its weight in gold in the future. Insight and inspiration is yours from the 4th – 7th. Unrealistic expectations on the 11th will ruin your day if you insist on believing them. Beautiful words win the day from the 16th - 21st if they are also true. Celebrate the love of friends on the 24th with the heart-felt generosity that is distinctly Leo. Love blossoms on the 26th but requires effort on the 30th.

Virgo - August 23 - September 22

Irritating relatives need help on the 6th. Enlist the aid of your partner to help meet their needs on the 7th. Virgo says it like it is but a little polish wouldn’t hurt. Brush up your Shakespeare and develop language skills after the 10th. Eloquence wins the day from the 16th - 21st. Revelry around the 24th should include family and even professional acquaintances. As we approach the year’s end, the more people you include in your life the better. You can sort them out sometime next year. Efforts to improve your home and family are worth every ounce of sweat on the 30th. 

Libra - Sept. 22 - Oct.22

As irritating as life can seem on the 6th, you arrive on the scene of your life after the 8th looking like nothing ever bothered you in this life. Oh! To be a Libra. Use your good looks and equilibrium to impress folks between the 16th - 21st. Take care on the 19th that you don’t offend someone whose favour you would like to have. The next few months are a time to consider your ambition in the light of who is there to help you achieve your goals. Behind every successful man or woman there is always someone who believes in that person. Who does that for you? Unrealistic expectations about all that you will accomplish in the future raise a few eyebrows on the 11th but it is quite possible that by the 26th you can be convincing about what you will ultimately be able to deliver. Take a break on the 30th if you can get it. If you can’t take a break, work smart so you don’t wear yourself out.
