Step into November with your saturnine horoscope. Firstly, we’ll encounter a preliminary introduction to the celestial symphony of this period. After that, we will uncover what November 2023 has in store for each zodiac sign.
As November begins, we’re welcomed by the transformative season of Scorpio. This period shines a light on our hidden strengths, fueled by the Martial energies currently in this sign. Scorpio season calls us to be alive, assertive, and ready for battle. But come November 24, there’s a shift. Mars leaves the depths of Scorpio for the fiery expanse of Sagittarius. The focus changes from inner transformation to external exploration, warming our desire to see new things and let go of old patterns. We transition from Scorpio’s intense introspection to Sagittarius’ adventurous spirit. We move from soul-searching in the dark to exploring the world in the light.
Starting November 8, Venus shifts from the methodical and intelligent Virgo to the harmonious and elegant Libra. In Libra, Venus feels at home, and it’s a friendly zodiac sign that allows her to express her passionate power to the fullest. This shift sends harmonious energy to all the Air signs, fueling their strength to chase their dreams and surrender to the subtle beauty of life. This Venus is balanced and fair, enamored with classical beauty and that which is beautiful because it is right.
Saturn, finally, will cease its retrograde motion from November 4th, bringing a bit of lightness into our lives that have recently been burdened with responsibilities and work.
The end of Saturn’s retrograde motion marks a significant turning point. If you’ve been feeling weighed down by various obligations or finding it challenging to move projects forward, this shift could provide the breather you need. Saturn is often seen as the taskmaster of the zodiac, responsible for teaching us hard lessons and keeping us in line. When it goes direct, it’s as if a strict teacher has decided to give you a brief recess. This doesn’t mean you should abandon your duties, but rather take this moment to reflect on the responsibilities you’ve shouldered. Assess what’s truly necessary and what can be reorganized or even delegated.
Aries (21 March – 20 April)
November, a season marked by metamorphosis and upheaval, beckons you to marshal your inner resources as you stand on the cusp of sweeping alterations in the realms of love and professional life. A fervent yearning for change grows within you. While this transformational energy may at moments feel daunting, the shift of Mars into Sagittarius on the 24th promises to fortify you with the requisite courage to navigate uncharted waters, even those that stretch beyond your familiar comfort zones.Love will exact its toll, relentlessly pulling your focus. Attempts to eschew these emotional demands will prove to be an exercise in futility.
As November unfurls its tapestry of seismic shifts, you find yourself at an intriguing intersection between personal and professional spheres. This juxtaposition isn’t merely a fleeting juxtaposition, but rather a clarion call for equilibrium. With celestial energies urging change, balancing the demands of your career and emotional life becomes a paramount undertaking, one that resonates as both a challenge and an opportunity.
On the one hand, the fervor for career advancement is palpable, fuelled by a combination of innate ambition and the catalyzing influence of planetary alignments. Yet concurrently, there exists a magnetic pull toward the emotional and romantic, creating a delicate dance of priorities. Ignoring either sphere would be a disservice, as each holds a fragment of the transformative potential that November offers.
Don’t underestimate the long-term benefits of the changes you make this month. Stepping out of your comfort zone might be scary, but it could also lead to some big rewards down the line. And as love and work both call for your attention, remember that you don’t have to pick one over the other. In fact, giving both the attention they deserve could set you up for a well-rounded and fulfilling future. So embrace the challenges and opportunities that November brings; they’re your ticket to a richer, more balanced life.
Taurus (22 April – 30 May)
Midway through your solar cycle, you find yourself at a juncture where you yearn to take stock and reflect on how far you’ve come and where you’re headed, all under the transformative shadow of the Sun in Scorpio. Faced with changes, you’ll prefer to pause and grant yourself time to deliberate your next moves, and that’s perfectly okay. Even the best runners value recovery time as much as they do periods of activity. In this serene reflection, you’ll come to know aspects of yourself that are begging to be brought into the light.
The opposition of Mars during this period could introduce a sense of trepidation or apprehension about taking significant leaps forward. This planetary aspect may stir up inner doubts and fears, creating hesitance where there should ideally be momentum. Yet, it’s in this very pause, this moment of contemplation, that you’ll find the clarity and assurance to combat any inhibitions. By deeply reflecting on your path, you allow yourself to confront these fears and uncertainties, giving you the emotional fortitude to take those big steps you’ve been contemplating. So, embrace this period of introspection; it’s not only a chance for personal discovery but also a stepping stone to greater confidence and decisive action.
Gemini (21 May – 21 June)
Mercury, your ruling planet, will be in opposition, affecting your natural ability to communicate and socialize as freely as you usually do. You’ll find yourself craving more moments of solitude and fewer social gatherings. Instead of grand, disruptive changes, you’ll lean toward the subtler revolutions that unfold quietly. As someone who is always on the go, you’ll come to appreciate the delicate power of stillness, allowing you to notice the small details you’ve previously overlooked.
This reflective state may also prompt you to seize control of your personal life, focusing on the aspects of daily living that contribute to a healthier balance. Perhaps you’ll find that your previously hectic schedule was eclipsing important elements like self-care, meaningful relationships, and even simple joys like reading a book or enjoying a quiet evening. Your usual kinetic energy will be replaced by a more measured approach, enabling you to make more deliberate choices that contribute to a holistic sense of well-being. You’ll come to appreciate that life isn’t just about perpetual motion and constant interaction. Sometimes, the most profound insights and most enriching experiences come from slowing down, quieting your mind, and taking stock of what really matters. In this phase, don’t underestimate the transformative power of simplicity and balance. They could be the keys to a more harmonious and fulfilling life.
Cancer (22 June – 23 July)
It’s a time for action, passion, and assertiveness. Mars in trine lights up the path that will lead you to doors you’ve never dared to open, crossing thresholds you never even imagined. You’re like a night-blooming flower that everyone thinks is closed but is actually preparing to blossom during the night, leaving everyone astonished when they awaken. Love is demanding space, perhaps too much, and you sometimes feel overwhelmed and choked by difficult emotions that distract you from personal revolutions. Gently and politely claim your space, and it will be granted to you.
When Mars is favorably aspected, it’s a strong indicator that you’re in a prime position to assert yourself, but this doesn’t mean you have to follow the conventional route. Sometimes, making a statement means being quietly rebellious, challenging norms without fanfare.
Love and emotional commitments may pull you in various directions, creating a whirlwind of feelings that can be both exhilarating and overwhelming. While it’s important to engage with these emotions, you should also permit yourself the liberty to step back and breathe. You need space to enact those personal revolutions you’ve been contemplating. Remember, the world will adjust to your pace, your dreams, and your needs, but only if you first grant yourself the permission to take things at your speed. Don’t fall into the trap of constantly meeting external expectations; be true to your inner compass. It’s this authenticity that will eventually open doors and thresholds you’ve never imagined.
Leo (23 July – 23 August)
A beautiful and elegant Venus in Libra smiles at you and draws you into a smooth and passionate dance that you’ll never want to end. Instead of wanting everything immediately, you’ll find yourself captivated by the beauty of slowness, by patient seduction, and by uncertainty. Even when you feel vulnerable, you’ll choose Venus’s love over Mars’s strength, allowing yourself to be swept along by Scorpio’s transformative season and venturing into personal revolutions that will leave their mark.
Venus in Libra, with its elegant diplomacy and grace, embodies the essence of balance that’s often missing in our lives. Your willingness to embrace Venusian qualities—love, patience, and openness—indicates a readiness to transform not just yourself but your relationships as well. This balance isn’t just about romantic encounters but extends to all relationships, including friendships and family ties.Learning to balance space for yourself and space for others is a delicate art that involves both giving and receiving. While it’s crucial to honor your needs, the transformative power of Scorpio’s season prompts you to explore deeper emotional layers, requiring you to also consider the needs of those you’re close to. The ultimate lesson here is reciprocity. As you move through these personal revolutions, take time to extend the same courtesy to others, offering them the room they need to grow and flourish. After all, a relationship is a dance where both parties need to move in harmony.
Virgo (24 August – 22 September)
Mercury in Sagittarius forms a challenging square aspect for you. You’ll need to break free from your familiar patterns, shed old structures and beliefs, and with Mars in sextile, you’ll successfully navigate through this test. Scorpio season supports you in this transformation, leading you towards a profound revolution that allows you to explore new modes of expression that will lessen the distance between you and the people you love.
The concept of letting yourself be surprised, even by your own actions and thoughts, is a cornerstone in embracing this transformative phase. Often, it’s easy to get trapped in what we think we know about ourselves. However, Mercury’s square with Sagittarius nudges you out of your comfort zone, urging you to entertain new philosophies and viewpoints. Mars in sextile provides the necessary drive and courage to tackle these challenges, but it’s up to you to seize these opportunities.
The fear of change, or even the fear of success, can inhibit personal growth. But Scorpio season is a time of renewal, inviting you to dig deeper into your inner reservoirs of strength and courage. Rather than barricading yourself behind the walls of what’s familiar, use this time to shatter those barriers and to surprise even yourself with your capacity for change. New modes of expression don’t only redefine your relationship with others; they redefine your relationship with yourself, creating a loop of self-discovery that can be as endless as it is enlightening.
Libra (23 September – 23 October)
You’ve recently embarked on a new solar cycle, and as with all beginnings, old burdens now feel even heavier. It’s time to shed them, to abandon them forever and make room for what you love and what energies you. Feng Shui teaches us that old, used objects that no longer serve a purpose take up space and drain energy without giving anything back. Imagine your life as a Feng Shui house and remove everything that is merely draining energy without contributing anything more. Venus in your sign makes you feel loved and loving.
As for Venus gracing your sign, it’s like waking up to a perpetual sunrise, inspiring you to fall in love with life each and every day. This is a potent time for romance, certainly, but also for rekindling your passions and interests in a profound way. Venus doesn’t just make you irresistibly charming; she deepens your connection to what you find beautiful and meaningful, adding layers to your everyday experiences. Just as you make room for new energies by decluttering your metaphorical house, Venus and Mercury help fill that space with love, communication, and connection. The result is a life that not only looks but feels beautifully balanced and fulfilled.
Scorpio (23 October – 23 November)
Mars is still in your sign, and so is the Sun. It’s your season, and coursing within you is the power of beginnings, of rebirths, of the big bang itself. The opposition from Jupiter doesn’t scare you; you don’t need any positive thrust. You navigate difficulties just fine because you’re the transformer of the zodiac, turning obstacles into opportunities. This is exactly what you’ll do when you encounter roadblocks along your path: rather than stopping and turning back, you’ll find creative ways to overcome them and continue on your journey.
The assertive energy of Mars in your sign is further empowered by a harmonious sextile with Pluto, lending you the perfect Scorpio strength to manifest your desires and ambitions. Mars gives you the dynamism to chase your goals, while Pluto infuses you with the profound, transformative energy that only a Scorpio can truly wield. This planetary alignment is like a cosmic green light, signalling you to push forward in endeavours that require both finesse and might. The sextile with Pluto essentially turns up the volume on your natural transformative abilities. It makes you not just a passive observer but an active participant in your destiny, shifting the narrative from something that happens to you to something that you happen to. In the face of any obstacles, you don’t just adapt; you metamorphose, converting challenges into stepping stones for your path ahead. This is a period to own your power and use it wisely, marshalling your forces not just to survive but to thrive.
Sagittarius (23 November – 21 December)
Mercury in your sign, a romantic sextile with Venus, and Mars bringing its potent energies all into your sign by the end of the month make this a perfect time to seize what you want. Calmly, there’s no rush, take some space to savour the satisfactions and beautiful things that surround you, especially love, which will be present everywhere, from your morning coffee to the neighbour who holds the door for you. It’s a perfect moment to live as if you’re the main characther in a romantic movie set in Notting Hill, where everything is simply beautiful.
The Venus sextile infuses you with a heightened sense of empathy, allowing you to notice the small but meaningful things that make life rich. It’s as if you’re seeing the world through rose-colored glasses, but not in a naive way; rather, you become attuned to the subtleties of human emotion and the beauty in everyday life. From the smile of a stranger to the aroma of fresh flowers, you become deeply appreciative of life’s finer details. As Mars enters your sign on November 24th, it imbues you with a conquering spirit. This warrior planet will give you the courage and the vigor to go after what you desire most. Whether it’s love, a career milestone, or a personal dream, Mars will provide the drive to pursue and achieve it. Combined with Venus’s empathetic touch, you’ll find that you can conquer not just the world but also the hearts of those around you. So, take this time to be the best version of yourself, relishing in the things and people that make life worth living.
Capricorn (22 December – 20 January)
Saturn, your planet, turns direct, and with it, your perspective realigns. You are nearing the end of your solar cycle, and the arrival of winter, your season, invigorates you. There’s an ancient Russian myth about Princess Sneguročka, the daughter of Winter and Spring. She is the one who brings the snow, enchanting the inhabitants with stories and ice dances. Similarly, you, always from the height of your mountain, will enchant everyone with the charm of your knowledge, bringing joy and light even in the darkness of winter, aided by the beautiful trine with Venus that warms your heart.
Venus in Libra serves as your celestial lesson, compelling you to dedicate time to your passions. Whether it’s an artistic endeavor or diving into a subject you love, now is the time to indulge your intellectual and artistic curiosities. Think of this period as a grand waltz, where every step you take is imbued with grace, wisdom, and intention. Meanwhile, the sextile between Mars and the Sun infuses you with even more resilience. This aspect forms a cosmic safety net, allowing you to take risks with the assurance that your natural resilience will catch you if you fall. It makes you robust in the face of challenges and even more capable of turning obstacles into stepping stones. Remember, you’re like the winter – seemingly cold and harsh, but full of latent life, waiting for the right moment to burst forth. This is that moment, where your intellectual might and emotional grace come together, making you an unstoppable force of nature. So take the leap, backed by planetary good graces, and shine your light even in the darkest corners.
Aquarius (21 January – 19 February)
The trine of Venus in Libra leads you to explore the realms of passion, beauty, and love. You do so with justice and balance, giving and receiving, welcoming and rejecting. Love is not just about embracing everything and everyone, but also knowing how to say no to what does not align with our values. Mars in Scorpio is like a magnifying glass that will make you see, feel, and understand everything that no longer works. Imagine your life like a garden full of plants that are growing; some of them are choked by wild plants that are taking up too much space. They are beautiful too, but you will have to strive to find a balance so that the plants you have planted can grow healthily.
Venus in Libra acts like a cosmic referee in your life, urging you to weigh the pros and cons in matters of the heart and soul. It’s a period where your aesthetic sense could also be heightened – take this opportunity to indulge in art, beauty, or whatever elevates your spirit. On the other hand, Mars in Scorpio serves as an internal auditor, rigorously examining what is and isn’t working for you. This is the time to declutter your emotional and even physical space. Remove the wild plants, so to speak, that may be aesthetically pleasing but are detrimental to your growth.
It’s not just about removing what’s negative, but also about giving space and energy to what’s positive. Strive for a sense of harmony that allows every aspect of your life, be it love, work, or personal growth, to flourish. Balance is key; Mars in Scorpio will give you the courage to cut away the unnecessary, while Venus in Libra ensures you do it with grace and poise.
Pisces (20 February – 20 March)
Saturn in your sign turns direct, and together with the trine with Mars in Scorpio, puts you back on the right path. This is a road that leads you towards those goals you had abandoned, towards those emotions you had avoided, and perhaps, towards those people with whom you still have unresolved issues. According to a popular Japanese legend, an invisible red thread is tied to our pinky finger, connecting us to our destiny. No matter how many knots you’ve created by distancing yourself or taking alternative paths, if you follow the thread of passion, you can find the other end of the red thread.
Saturn’s return to direct motion in your sign suggests a moment of clarity and forward momentum, making it the perfect time to tackle those ambitions or relationships you’ve sidestepped in the past. Mars in Scorpio adds a layer of tenacity and drive; it’s as if the universe is handing you a machete to cut through any self-imposed limitations or fears that have kept you from your heart’s desires.
Think of this as a cosmic nudge to fight for what you really want. Don’t allow past fears or societal expectations to stifle your progress. Embrace the Martian energy to propel you forward and let Saturn provide the structured path for you to walk upon. Both planets, in their unique way, are offering you the resources to resolve what’s been left unfinished and reclaim what’s been lost. It’s a compelling time to seize the reins of your own destiny.
