Horoscopes for the month of November 2024
*For all signs: Mercury retrogrades at twenty-two degrees Sagittarius on November 24th. It stays retrograde until December 16th, when it directs at six degrees Sagittarius. Good luck, mutable signs! Details below.
Aries (Spring Equinox-approx. April 21st): November 2024 begins with a new moon in Scorpio, and while that may seem like a non-event, it may pack a surprising punch, as both Scorpio and Aries are ruled by Mars, so watch for short tempers and accidents. The first two weeks of the month may be a good time to take a trip or have fun with your romantic partner(s). As the month continues, you may find the last half of the month starkly contrasting to the first. The last two weeks of the month may be full of optimism, extra energy, and a strong spiritual connection. You may also find some potential for healing through faith and spirituality. Communicating openly and honestly during the last part of November may be a good way to handle things. The Mercury retrograde at the end of the month may be beneficial, allowing you to clean up some things before the end of the calendar year, particularly those subjects having to do with investments, travel (and travel tools), spirituality, and heart-to-heart conversations that have been put off for too long.
Taurus (Approx. April 21st to approx. May 21st): The new moon in Scorpio at the beginning of the month may bring tension to the surface that has to do with how you handle your resources versus how you manage shared resources. The good news is that your intuition may be stronger and more accurate than normal with all the water activity. Your emotions may be stronger than normal, too, but for the most part, this will be positive. As the second half of the month kicks in, those same emotions may become problematic, especially regarding your stubbornness and possibly greed, so it would be wise to stay humble. On the bright side, money may flow easily through your career, and your overall direction in life may be pleasant. The last two weeks of the month are also a good time to embrace the unexpected things that occur daily. While problematic for other signs, the Mercury retrograde at the end of the month may be a non-event for you, giving you a chance to catch your breath.
Gemini (Approx. May 21st to Summer Solstice): Challenges and tensions may be present the first two weeks of November when it comes to money, romance, spirituality, and how you handle your emotions, so it would be wise to stay detached and simply deal with what comes up. Financially, spending carefully and taking a second look at your investments would be smart. Romantically, you may succeed in getting on the same page as your partner(s). Double-speak and related thought patterns may be working against you in this regard. As the month continues, tension may continue to be present, but less than earlier in the month, and now the tension focuses on communication and travel. The last two weeks of the month will probably be rough, as the Mercury retrograde is putting tension on your life that has to do with spirituality, travel, investments, honesty, and your singularity of purpose and behavior.
Cancer (Summer Solstice to approx. July 21st): Emotions and spirituality are two major themes of the first two weeks of November, and while they may be intense, they may also work out positively if you listen to your intuition and are proactive when it comes to how you integrate the two. The new moon at the beginning of the month is a good time to reset yourself, especially considering the ambient tension between your family and where you’re going in life in general. As November progresses, a light at the end of the tunnel arrives as Pluto leaves Capricorn. Many minor adjustments may be required in the last two weeks, but these will be short-term solutions rather than long-term. Money through the workplace may also be tight, and your romantic life may require some maturity to continue positively. The Mercury retrograde at the month’s end may start challenging but may also end as a non-event.
Leo (Approx. July 21st to approx. August 21st): The new moon at the beginning of November may bring challenges, especially regarding romance, passion, and business, so it would be wise to be humble and adaptable to change. Communication problems may also be common, as you may be so focused on your message that you miss the message of others. As the month continues, things take a drastic turn for the better! Extra energy may be available, and your optimism may bring unexpected blessings. Romance may be rolling along well, too, and if you take a closer look at your investments, you may find unexpected returns. Traveling may also bring relaxation and pleasure in the last two weeks of the month. Being honest and direct may be how you handle your conversations, which is a strong deviation from earlier in November. And, if you are not honest and direct, don’t sweat it. The Mercury retrograde at the end of the month will show you where you need to improve.
Virgo (Approx. August 21st to Autumnal Equinox): The new moon at the beginning of November will be intense but positive in general. This is a good time for personal transformation or beginning new work-related projects. Your communication skills may be their usual sharpness, but now the results they bring will be smoother and more beneficial than normal. However, you may want to take a second look at your investments because things might not be as they seem. It would also be smart to be careful when traveling. As the month continues, things get tenser in general, particularly regarding communication and travel. To offset this, though, money through the career may flow better than normal, and you may find good things happening there, too. Romance may be good for the last two weeks of November as well. The Mercury retrograde at the end of the month may be full of challenges concerning communication, travel, investments, and spirituality, so it would be wise to remember this period is a litmus test more than anything else.
Libra (Autumnal Equinox to approx. October 21st): Pressure, tension, stress, and challenges may all be present at the start of the month, and really, these will be affecting all areas of your life, but especially your family, home life, career, and internal healing you need to do to fix your psyche, so it would be wise to adapt and adjust in healthy ways. The first two weeks of the month are a good time to review your investments because they may be better than expected. This is also a good time to have some fun in your love life and maybe have some fun traveling. As the month progresses, many challenges from the first half dissipate to be replaced with fun, increased creativity, clear communication, and a sense of freshness in the air as Pluto enters Aquarius. However, money through the workplace may be problematic, so it is smart to spend cautiously, especially on business expenses. The Mercury retrograde at the end of the month may work out relatively well, too.
Scorpio (Approx. October 21st to approx. November 21st): Happy birthday, Scorpios! This is your month, so enjoy it. The first two weeks of the month are all about emotions and spirituality, and while you may be fine swimming in those waters, you may discover people around you can’t handle what you can. This is a good time for spiritual and emotional work. As the month continues, things go from powerful and positive to emotionally challenging. The last two weeks of November may have to do with creative blocks and ego issues, but if you can navigate those, you may discover this is a good time to show your compassionate side. The Mercury retrograde at the end of the month may bring illumination and resolution regarding spirituality and may be a mechanism for changing how you communicate with others.
Sagittarius (Approx. November 21st to Winter Solstice): As November 2024 begins, you may find good things come your way when it comes to romance money through investments, travel, and foreign connections, but to capitalize, you may have to make a lot of temporary minor adjustments. When spending time with friends, you may consider spending money cautiously and careful with your words. As the month continues, things go from average to great, and your creativity is enhanced, and good fortune may come your way if you take calculated risks. If you walk with confidence, you may find opportunities to unfold before you. However, the Mercury retrograde at the end of the month is in your sign, so expect the last week of November and the first half of December to be very transformative, emphasizing how you communicate and project your spirituality in daily life.
Capricorn (Winter Solstice to approx. January 21st): November 2024’s new moon in Scorpio at the beginning of the month brings a lot of easy-flowing success in work affairs and an opportunity for new beginnings there, too. However, this may put tension on the home life and immediate family, but this will be short-lived. As the month progresses, the easy-flowing success of the first half is replaced with hard-fought success in the latter half. Adjustments are the theme of the last two weeks of November, including the Mercury retrograde. However, there is a favorable wind on the horizon as Pluto leaves your sign and enters Aquarius. Reflect over the last sixteen years of your life to see how you’ve transformed, and know that an intense period is behind you.
Aquarius (Approx. January 21st to approx. February 21st): November 2024 begins with the new moon and Mercury in Scorpio, which provides challenges for the first two weeks regarding business and uncovering hidden issues. Mars moving into Leo on the second tells us tension having to do with circles of friends and balancing what is best for you vs. what is best for others will be present through the middle of the month. Once the middle of the month arrives, things go from challenging to smooth-flowing, as communication may be rolling along smoothly, and there may be a sense of optimism in the air. For the whole month, a major theme is that of healing and easy healing, at that. Even the Mercury retrograde at the end of the month may be more fortuitous than not, putting you in a position to wrap up many things, particularly investment-related, before the end of the calendar year.
Pisces (Approx. February 21st to Spring Equinox): The new moon at the beginning of the month may be a highly transformative and powerful time, focusing on spirituality and emotions. Of all the signs of the zodiac, yours is the second most positively impacted, right behind Scorpio, so yes, brace for changes, but in the long run, these will turn out to be for the best. The stress and tension you’ve been under with Saturn and Neptune is starting to show a return if you’ve been doing the work, and these first two weeks will be pivotal. As the month continues, this positivity and these opportunities fade, to be replaced with challenges having to do with embracing and implementing them. The Mercury retrograde at the end of the month will be highly challenging, though, and will mostly focus on spirituality, communication, and travel. November 2024 may be a tale of contrast.
