Happy November, Stargazers!
Hopefully, if you can vote you’ll be headed to the polls — some things you simply can’t leave to chance or astrology, so don’t forget to make that plan.
November has some exciting celestial action to offer those of us who like to spend time outside in the crisp, night air. The nights of November 11 and 12 will feature the Northern Taurids Meteor Showers, and November 16 and 17 will feature the Leonids Meteor Showers. There is something truly spectacular about watching space junk become beautiful, bright burning orbs that dance across the night sky. Channel this vibrant, transformative energy and remember that you, too, can take some of life’s minor annoyances and unpleasantries and make something beautiful of them.
There is also a full moon and penumbral lunar eclipse on November 30. During this period the sun, the moon, and the Earth will be in alignment. This is a great time to set intentions.
Write them down on paper and burn them. November isn’t just about voting — it is about service. Service to ourselves, and service to others. So, with that in mind this month’s horoscopes all include a nonprofit that benefits the planet, should you feel that celestial energy above driving you to do bigger things for others. Reward yourself by making a few wishes on some falling stars — we are never too old to dream of something better and to make it happen.

Pisces
Sweet, trusting Pisces. Things have been rough in the spiritual and romantic departments as of late. Or, maybe even just a little bit stagnant. Your sign is known for its giving nature and sometimes people with bad intentions can sense that you are an open book.
November will be a challenging month for you, considering that your ruler, Neptune is still in retrograde. Creativity will be at a low point for you and many of the days will melt together. The new moon is in Scorpio on November 15 which should give you a pleasant burst of energy. Assess where you can best spend this brief reprise from the monotony of the last few months. Does the house need cleaning? Do you need to catch up on your journaling? Trust your instincts and use your time wisely.
The great news is that, after four months, Neptune will finally return to forward motion on November 29, followed immediately by a penumbral eclipse on November 30. This means that you will have an action-packed end of the month. Celebrate by calling up a few friends and catch up on all of the news you may have missed. Tidy up your home and your desk for a fresh perspective. All things are transient, Pisces, even and especially the rough days and months. Hold on tight! Better days are ahead.

Taurus
Bulls get a bad reputation for being stubborn and overly willful. To that cliche, Stargazers, we say a resounding, “Nah.” To know a Taurus is to love a Taurus, and the Bull’s energy when correctly channeled is some of the strongest and most powerful energy in the Zodiac. Mercury’s return to direct motion on November 4 will only fuel your fire. This is a great time to negotiate a pay raise at work, or to let your boss know you would like to take on new responsibilities.
On November 12 there is a conjunction between Jupiter and Pluto which will put everything under a magnifying glass. What’s that expression? Perfection is the enemy of good? You’d be wise to remember that as you may be tempted to point out other’s small inconsistencies and flaws, especially at work. Don’t do it, Taurus.
Reserve your energy because your ruler, Venus, enters Scorpio on November 21. This will be your time to rise and grind. Passionate, fearless Scorpio will shine light on all of your hard-earned accomplishments this year.
This is the time to spread the wealth of recognition. If you’re getting an abundance of praise at work, spread that around. Give a shout out to someone on your team that did you a favor or two this month. Own your accomplishments, but don’t forget those who paved the road to your success.
November strain: The Taurus, like Great White Sharks, get a bad reputation for being aggressive. So, why not spark a bowl filled with some Great White Shark and own that reputation a little?
Get aggressive for the environment this month by voting and giving your time or money to a green nonprofit like the Ocean Conservancy, which aims to protect some of the Earth’s most precious ecosystems. Smoke green and live green this month, Bulls!

Gemini
Bubbly, vivacious Gemini. You’ve probably been feeling in a stall lately, especially with all of the retrograde motion going on in the sky above. Fear not! Forward motion is the name of the game this November, for the planets and your personal life. Trying to remain spirited in the face of so much adversity and darkness is no easy feat, but Twins generally bear this burden very well. Mercury, your ruler, finally spins out of its retrograde into direct motion on November 3.
Cut yourself a lot of slack, especially at the beginning of this month. You’ve been the glue that’s holding your friends and family together. Don’t worry about arranging the next Google Hangout, or keeping the group chat lively, focus on your mental health instead. Reach out to a trusted confidant and go over your personal goals for the next few months. How many of these goals involve making sure other people are thriving? Where is this energy for yourself? Have your trusted confidant help you sort through your goals and find the ones that really put the focus on keeping your mind healthy. If you do this, you be ready for November 30 when the full moon and penumbral lunar eclipse will be in your sign.
This is the time you’ll find alignment in your professional and personal endeavors. Tell your partner what’s going on in your life. Don’t be afraid to make other people sad and don’t think you’re burdening the people who love you for sharing your struggles. Paint or draw a picture of your happy place and put yourself in it this month, Twins. Color, write, or make music. Invest in the things that give life color. You’ve earned a deep rest.
November strain: Channel your higher self by smoking a bowl of Yoda OG. If there was any creature in the galaxy that valued the strength and health of the mind, it would be Yoda. While you’re stepping back to focus on yourself this month, that doesn’t mean you can’t give your available time and funds to great mental health nonprofit like the National Alliance on Mental Illness, which is a grassroots organization that advocates to improve the lives of people living with mental illness.
Cancer
Crab, you sweet nurturer, lately the world has felt especially heavy. This month is all about achieving harmony in your personal relationships and in your home in order to improve your overall health and well-being. Finding the balance between being a supportive friend and making sure your needs are met can be a difficult, uphill battle. If you’ve been putting yourself on the back burner lately, it may be because many of the main, planetary players have been in retrograde (Mercury, Mars, Neptune, Uranus) which can cause a lot of turmoil and uncertainty in the people around you.
Fortunately, Mercury enters direct motion on November 3 which should allow tempers and bigger emotions to simmer in your friend group. Let things cool off a bit before you dive back into any big commitments with friends. Jupiter forms a conjunction with Pluto on November 12. This should bring in some highly focused energy. If you pay close enough attention, you may notice that the light is hitting different spots in your home. Try spending time in parts of your living space you don’t typically frequent. Draw inspiration from watching the light shift and the seasons change.
All things are temporary, Cancer. Good, bad, ugly, beautiful — it all eventually transforms into something else. Celebrate your good fortune by donating your time or money to a nonprofit organization like Coalition for the Homeless, which advocates and provides direct services for all houseless people.
Your ruler, the moon, will be full and have a penumbral eclipse on November 30. Put on some upbeat music or open the window and dance to the ambient sounds of the world around you.

You are going to unlock some important, internal balance this month, Cancer.

Take pleasure in the things that make you feel most at peace this month, Crab.

The sun forms a trine with Neptune on November 10. This period is all about destiny and fulfilling your wildest dreams. You may be presented with some risky, but potentially exciting opportunities in your professional life. Be ready to take the chances offered to you.
The sun enters Sagittarius on November 21. Sagittarius is a notorious optimistic sign. Channel this energy all day, every day. Don’t let the naysayers tell you that you dream too big. Own your passions, no matter how strange they may seem to other people.
While you’re making your own dreams come true, consider making a child’s dream come true by donating your time or money to a nonprofit like Make-A-Wish Foundation, which strives to grant the wishes of children living with chronic and life-threatening illnesses.

If you like looking at meteor showers, you can reinvest some of the positive energy coming your way this month by supporting a nonprofit like the International Dark Sky Association, which strives to reduce light pollution so that everyone can be inspired by the vastness of the cosmos.
Enjoy the relative calm of this month, Virgo. You’ve earn it.

Libra
Have things been feeling … stale lately, Libra? There’s been a lot of backwards motion with the planets lately, which can produce feelings of stagnation. Don’t let the last few months stop you from pursuing your creative goals.
On November 1 Mercury forms a square with Saturn. You’ll probably feel inclined to tackle every project on your to-do list at the beginning of the month. Pump the breaks, Libra. Sure, things have been lagging, but that doesn’t mean you should burn out all at once. Take your time and set reasonable goals. Tidy a corner of your house; don’t dump everything on the curb.
On November 10, Mercury enters Scorpio. This is a very intentional time. Set yourself up for success by updating your calendar and making any long-term social plans in advance. You’ll thank yourself later.
