Horoscopes for the month of June 2025

Aries (Spring Equinox-approx. April 21^st): June 2025 begins with more energy than normal, and you may find good fortune visits you, especially when it comes to games of chance and creative projects. This is a good time to share your creative projects with others or brainstorm where you go next. Opportunities to heal, particularly emotional and romantic wounds, will also be present in the first two weeks of the month. However, you may also sense something coming in the near future, but now is not the time, and what you are sensing will take months to play out. As the month progresses, you may find challenges that have to do with the immediate family and home. This is due to Jupiter moving into Cancer. If you make the appropriate adjustments, you may find these same challenges can be blessings in disguise. Communication challenges may also be present, particularly with those you are closest to. 

Taurus (Approx. April 21^st to approx. May 21^st): Unlike fire signs, you may find June 2025 opens with challenges, particularly regarding stubbornness, priorities, and hobbies. However, once the middle of June arrives, you may find things shift dramatically. Once Jupiter enters into Cancer and is soon joined by the sun and Mercury’s presence, you may find good things come your way regarding your immediate family and physical house. Long-time friends may also be sources of enjoyment and pleasure. Love and money may also come your way rather easily the more the month goes on, and these may flow smoothly enough to the degree that they bring physical pleasure and enjoyment. The theme of the last two weeks of the month may bring with them the theme of hard work and putting fun secondary to taking care of business.

Gemini (Approx. May 21^st to Summer Solstice): Happy birthday Geminis! This is your month, and the way it begins, you may find it is a good time to spend with friends. Not only could this be relaxing, but those conversations may lead to opportunities for learning and prosperity. The first two weeks are also a good time to get creative or enjoy a good luck streak in games of chance. In the first two weeks, romance and money may also flow easily to you. As the month continues, you may notice many of these topics change, but not to bad; rather to a non-factor. Work may call your attention the last two weeks of the month, which may be due to problems there, so if these are avoided, they will only worsen later. In general, this is a good month for new beginnings and counting the blessings you have.

Cancer (Summer Solstice to approx. July 21^st): Even though June is considered Gemini month, it may feel like it’s your month the further we get into it, but the first two weeks are slightly different. June 2025 begins with challenges regarding your romantic life, sense of being, and karma coming back around. These challenges highlight areas for healing in your life. It would also be wise to pay extra attention to things in general because daydreaming may work against you. As the month progresses, though, many of these challenges will clear up and be replaced with good vibes regarding romance, your home life, and your close friends. You may also find expansion opportunities in the physical home, whether refinancing, improvements, or something else. Jupiter enters your sign this month, meaning that good things are coming your way over the next several months.

Leo (Approx. July 21^st to approx. August 21^st): As June 2025 begins, you may find optimism and good fortune visit you, so it would be wise to be open to these things. Romance might also be stronger than normal. The easiest way to acquire these good things is through your friends and conversations with those who can help you achieve your goals. This is also a good time to focus on psychological and spiritual healing. As the month progresses, many of these good things get tainted with astrological changes. The closer you get to solstice, the more you might find challenges related to romance, money, and health. You may have to make a lot of mini-adjustments to harmonize your career and family, but if you take these steps, things will click into place in the long term.

Virgo (Approx. August 21^st to Autumnal Equinox): Personal communication challenges may be present as June begins, but these usually occur around this time, so this is nothing new but still worth noting. Turning your attention to daily work and those routines would be wise, as it would help you catch blessings as they unexpectedly come your way. As we get closer to solstice, the more things change for the better. Romance and money may increase, and professionally, you may find you are in a good position to create long-term physical plane foundation building and to take care of your health. Even though you might be excited to get to work, your home life may be rolling along so smoothly that you must readjust what you’re doing and why. Essentially, what is going on with your family and home life will be rolling along smoothly to the degree that it is comfortable. As Jupiter moves through Cancer, it may bring prosperity opportunities through your home and people you have known for a long time.

Libra (Autumnal Equinox to approx. October 21^st): Your emotions may be tense and powerful as June 2025 begins, so it would be wise to take things slow and gentle as they occur. You may also find challenges concerning health, romance, and cash-in-hand, which may be present, too, so you can see the bigger picture: challenges are all around. The good news is that through your friends, you might find a support structure to help. As the month progresses, the challenges with money and romance clear up, but they have been replaced with challenges at home that have to do with your immediate family. Communication challenges, particularly tough conversations to have with loved ones, may also be things you struggle with as the month ends. As Jupiter moves into and through Cancer, it will unearth things that need to be healed and changed, which will play out over several months.

Scorpio (Approx. October 21^st to approx. November 21^st): Mars is a major player for the first two weeks of the month, so it would be wise to keep your temper in check and apply your energy in constructive ways rather than destructive. June 2025 begins with the possibility of accidents, short tempers, and conflict, so it would be wise to breathe deeply before reacting. In some ways, once solstice arrives, things get better, but in other ways, challenges continue. Once the middle of the month arrives, you may find your home life and immediate family to bring with them opportunities for prosperity, learning, and expansion. However, tension may exist in your romantic life regarding money or both. You may also find your communication style is most effective when you are compassionate and sincere. A good place to direct your energy is in the workplace because, after the solstice, it is a good time to get engaged in your daily work life more aggressively.

Sagittarius (Approx. November 21^st to Winter Solstice): June 2025 begins with an emphasis on romantic healing, or healing related to love, so assessing your priorities ahead of time would be wise. Tension may be present regarding personal communication, prosperity, and learning, but a lot of this happens every year during this time, and what doesn’t is fast-moving, so this is nothing new. Optimism may be in the air, and your energy levels may be higher than normal. As the month continues, the earlier tension dissipates, but now, there are challenges in your daily work routine that require adjustments. The tension from earlier in the month changes to a non-issue, freeing up a lot of your energy for other projects, namely laying a foundation for where you choose to build in the future.

Capricorn (Winter Solstice to approx. January 21^st): Unlike most other signs, June 2025 begins with very little activity related to your sign, and the present activity is diffused and will play out over an extended period. This activity is Neptune and Saturn in Aries, and both planets move slowly, so you will have to deal with these things for months and years. The closer we get to solstice, the more you may find good, positive opportunities that come your way, particularly regarding money, love, and health, if you put in the work. Being proactive in your career will be rewarding in the long run, even though you may not see immediate results. The last two weeks of the month may come with tension in your family life and having to do with your home, so it would be wise to make conservative decisions when it comes to those areas. Jupiter entering Cancer, the opposite sign of Capricorn, will bring tension and challenges that will probably pull at the heartstrings.

Aquarius (Approx. January 21^st to approx. February 21^st): Your temper may be short, and you may be accident-prone as June begins, but other than these, the month starts with a lot of opportunities for new connections or spending time with your friends to blow off steam. Unexpected windfalls may come your way, and your romantic life may get a little more fiery than normal. Saturn and Neptune in Aries, which will play out for a number of years, will bring with them easy-flowing results, even though you may have to pay a price. As the month progresses, challenges concerning health, love, and money in hand may become more prominent and regular. Of all the signs discussed, you tend toward the gentler side of the spectrum.

Pisces (Approx. February 21^st to Spring Equinox): Things continue to be challenging, Pisces, but most of these challenges happen every year around this time, meaning that June 2025 kind of begins as a non-factor. The challenges of the first two weeks have to do with personal communication and distractions, which means they are also short-lived. Money may still be tight, but this will change when Jupiter enters Cancer. The closer you get to solstice, the more you might find things greatly improve. Romance, love, and money manifest easily, and an opportunity is present to improve your health. However, tension may also be present in your daily work routine, but this will be short-lived and can fade quickly. To summarize, the last two to three weeks of June may be full of good things and blessings, which begin to make up for all of the recent challenges over the last eighteen months or so.

Jupiter enters Cancer June 9^th, and this will play out for about a year. It joins two other outer planets, Saturn and Neptune, in making significant ingresses this year. Social and group changes will be more dynamic the closer we get to the end of the calendar year. Check your chart (or I can check) for personal impact.

Horoscopes for the month of April 2025

Aries (Spring Equinox-approx. April 21^st): Happy birthday, Aries! This is your month, and what a month it is. The month starts with a lot of focus on your inner self; specifically communication, love, and mental healing, and the focus is on making the appropriate changes for success. As the month continues, though, things go from internal to external. After Easter, though, even though you might have communication issues that day, things may feel optimistic in general, and for the last ten days of the month, you may feel a sense of something building in the air that will come to fruition in early May. Your creativity may be stronger than normal, and you may experience opportunities for long-term prosperity. You may also feel a sense of playfulness, which it would be wise to indulge in, as long as it doesn’t interfere with your responsibilities.

Taurus (Approx. April 21^st to approx. May 21^st): April may begin with some unexpected situations, but these will be short-lived and will only last a couple of days. After that, things clear up quite a bit, and your emotions and creativity take center stage. Watch your diet the first few days of the month, and pay attention while you are out and about. After Easter, challenges may regularly come up through the end of the month, and these have to do with frustration, particularly regarding doing what is best for the self, what is best for others, and what is the moral or ethical thing to do. Emotionally, you may feel like things are good and that there is an acceptance of life as it is, where it is. If you make the right minor adjustments early in the month, you might see good results by the end, making April a month of adaptation but leaving you with good feelings and optimism as May arrives.

Gemini (Approx. May 21^st to Summer Solstice): April 2025 may be an odd month. Optimism and opportunities may be around you, but every time you try to move forward, something delays your success. Because of this, the first two weeks of the month may be wrought with frustration, emotional issues, and an internal focus on adaptation. Keep your optimism, though, because what you’re sensing and how you’re trying to move forward will start to manifest after Easter, and the closer we get to May, the better things get. Once May arrives, things may break free, and the results of April’s work will begin to manifest. Because of all of this, you may find April is a month of having to be patient and practical. May will make up for it, though, if you make the best of your situation in April.

Cancer (Summer Solstice to approx. July 21^st): April 2025 may start more intense than usual, and a lot of the emphasis may be on communication challenges, particularly when it comes to your immediate family and close circles of friends. Positive, unexpected blessings may come your way during daily life, but if you’re not careful, you may be delusional when it comes to knowing what the right thing to do is or when it comes to seeing things for what they are rather than how you want them to be. Any or all of these may take place until Easter, so it would be wise to embrace humility and open-mindedness. After Easter, the communication challenges may continue, and you may have some emotional tension, but that will fade quickly. Your romantic life may be very good, especially regarding long-term relationships, and your creativity may provide a good way to make some extra money.

Leo (Approx. July 21^st to approx. August 21^st): The beginning of April 2025 may be a mixed bag. On the one hand, your daily life and diet choices may bring unexpected consequences, and your emotions may be tense as well. On the other hand, you may be in a good position to heal your psyche, particularly by embracing humility and therapy. Prosperity may be available to you through the people you know; even if not, you may find your friends good sources of mental stimulation. As the month continues, your communication skills may greatly improve, and if you maximize the opportunities handed to you through those you know, you may put yourself in a position for long-term growth. You may sense challenges are on the horizon, but these won’t arrive until mid-May.

Virgo (Approx. August 21^st to Autumnal Equinox): Emotional and spiritual tension and challenges may be the theme of the first half of April 2025, but your family and home life may be rolling along nicely and smoothly. When unexpected things happen in daily life, you may find that they vary, whether good or not. Casual friends may be sources of irritation and may cost you money, so it would be smart to tread lightly. As the month progresses, the emphasis shifts away from your home and immediate family toward work and daily life. Emotional tension may still be present, but this is specifically romance-based or related to your creativity. Circles of friends may still be sources of irritation, but now your communications may have improved. Spiritual lessons may still be tough to swallow, but integrating them is part of the next step of your evolution. It would also be wise to pay extra attention to your love life until early May.

Libra (Autumnal Equinox to approx. October 21^st): April may always be a tense month, Libras, but this year, things go to the next level, as Neptune just entered Aries, your opposite sign, and it will be there for years, putting tension on who you are and where you’re going. If you’re not careful, delusion may reign supreme, but on the positive side, you may find this is a good time for meditation and spiritual growth. Long-term foundations can be laid for prosperity and learning through the people you know right now, but there may also be challenges when it comes to your home and immediate family. However, these challenges may be short-lived and will fade by the end of the month. After Easter, you may notice communication challenges and tension, but your creativity may be stronger than normal, and you might experience a string of good fortune. Your emotions may also be out of sorts, but this will only last a few days and will be replaced with opportunities for new social connections.

Scorpio (Approx. October 21^st to approx. November 21^st): Emotional tension, probably caused by daily unexpected events, may be how the month begins, and these add to social challenges, making the beginning of the month quite a headache. To offset this, though, you may find your emotional control is stronger than normal, and what is going on with your immediate family and home life may be laying a foundation for the future. Your creativity may be stronger than normal, and your romantic life may also be incubating. Challenges may increase as the month goes on, particularly regarding your creativity and daily life. Your emotional control may be stronger than normal, and you may find that your temper may lead to arguments if you’re not careful. The month’s essence is Mars, meaning April is all about energy management and attention, specifically where your energy is going and why.

Sagittarius (Approx. November 21^st to Winter Solstice): April 2025 begins with an interesting situation, so it is understandable if you’re unsure how to proceed. You may feel spiritually good about things, but there may be challenges regarding communication, romance, creativity, and money through creativity. You may also consider spending money cautiously when you’re out with friends. There may be challenges present with said friends as well, whether these are interpersonal conflicts or other barriers. But, as the month continues, things will improve marginally, at least. Your optimism and creativity will improve, and you might get a lucky break after Easter. Your circle of friends may still be a source of tension, but your communication skills are sharper than at the beginning of the month. Romance and creativity may still be problematic, but these will most likely clear up by the end of the month. Neptune moving into Aries also sets the stage for long-term spiritual and creative growth.

Capricorn (Winter Solstice to approx. January 21^st): Like other signs, April 2025 begins with tension in the home and immediate family, and there may be challenges regarding moving forward in life, but your emotions, creativity, and romance may all be moving smoothly, even though there may not be any motion at the moment. After Easter, you may see your immediate family and home situations have cleared up, but now communication challenges are present. Romance, spirituality, and creativity may all be rolling along nicely and smoothly, and now you may see progress with all of those. Your emotions may be controlled, making now the perfect time for inner transformation. The good news is that the closer it gets to May, the more opportunities you may find for career and work success if you embrace the unexpected daily opportunities.

Aquarius (Approx. January 21^st to approx. February 21^st): Unlike many signs, you may find April 2025 begins as well as can be expected. Now is a good time to connect with friends, which could lead to opportunities for prosperity, learning, and fun. You may also find that your imagination is stronger than normal, and meditation comes easier. Once Easter arrives, the communication issues may clear up, but there might be new tension regarding your creativity, optimism, and good luck. Your temper might be shorter than normal, but specifically when it comes to ego conflicts and tension between doing what is best for you and what is best for all involved. You may sense oncoming challenges, but these are the ones that happen annually, so they are nothing noteworthy. However, once May arrives, that is another story.

Pisces (Approx. February 21^st to Spring Equinox): What can I say, Pisces? Of all the signs, you have had it rougher than most, and April brings more of the same. But there is a silver lining. April 2025 starts with more pressure and challenges on your growth, and your circle of friends may still be full of challenges, particularly when it comes to spending money while with them. However, your daily life may bring unexpected opportunities to you, so it would be smart not to dismiss surprises casually. After Easter, you may find it is a different story. The ongoing emotional and spiritual tension may still be present, but your romantic life and creativity may be manifesting for the best. The closer we get to May, the better things get, and once Saturn enters Aries in several weeks, it may feel like a weight has been lifted, and things drastically improve.

To summarize, the last two to three weeks of June may be full of good things and blessings, which begin to make up for all of the recent challenges over the last eighteen months or so.

Jupiter enters Cancer June 9^th, and this will play out for about a year. It joins two other outer planets, Saturn and Neptune, in making significant ingresses this year.

Rexanna Ipock-Brown has added a new novel to her Loving Monsters Series and will be signing her new book on Saturday, December 16th from 12 pm – 4 pm. If you love books with adventurous witches trying to find love, smoking hot shifters and vampires, and swoon-worthy love scenes, then you won’t want to miss out.

Greta Aqen is done being the good girl witch. In a chance meeting with a man on a motorcycle her inner bad girl gives him a kiss. That kiss wakes up her fantasy of what this Leather Boy could do with her.

Leather Boy, otherwise known as Rhys Gold is not in the market for any long-term relationships, but after a kiss that has his fangs popping, this vampire wouldn’t mind a night of passion with the crazy woman at the grocery store. However, he comes to his senses and rides off into the night.

Fate has other plans. They meet again and the fire between them is a flaring inferno. Greta has her life planned out and it doesn’t include Rhys. Rhys is fine with that until something happens that changes both of their lives.

This is a stand-alone with a HEA. There is a first book that does introduce some of the characters and the world they live in, Rosemary Wolfe, M. D. (Monster Doctor). This series has characters that are intense in the bedroom as well as out. Better suited for mature readers.

Rexanna is a member of the Romance Writers of America and the Columbia chapter of the Missouri Writer’s Guild. Her characters are drawn from her work as a psychic consultant. She has assisted police departments with cold cases, was a popular guest on radio call-in shows, and has been featured on local and national television. She and her dog, Oberon Lugh, take magical walks daily to commune with nature.

Aries (Spring Equinox-approx. April 21^st): As December 2023 begins, you may find an abundance of energy present to help you achieve your goals, so it would be wise to have your list of goals for the month ready. A challenge may be present when it comes to personal communication in the workplace, but this can be mitigated by taking extra time to be clear when dealing with coworkers. Romantic relationships may be wrought with challenges, too, but this will be short-lived. Tension may generally be present the first few days, but this will fade quickly. As the month continues, the workplace may become the focal point for the last two weeks, as wrapping up projects and dealing with misunderstandings may take center stage. This may present challenges to other areas of life, but the silver lining is that if you do the work, you could enter 2024 with a clean and healed slate.

Taurus (Approx. April 21^st to approx. May 21^st): Emotionally, December 2023 may begin with its share of challenges, but these will fade within the first few days. Like Aries, the workplace may take center stage, but unlike the rams, the Taurus emphasizes laying a foundation for the future. Prosperity and expansion remain two major themes throughout the month but be careful to keep the expansion to positive areas of life rather than the waistline. As December matures, your career and occupation may take precedence, and while some of this has to do with wrapping up projects by the end of the calendar year, some may also address laying the groundwork for 2024. The last week of the month may be full of pleasure to an excess, a danger to avoid. Watch for unexpected financial and health blessings coming your way to usher in the New Year.

Gemini (Approx. May 21^st to Summer Solstice): Even though tension may be in the air when it comes to speaking your truth and traveling, you may find a sense of optimism and creativity is also present. Regarding your romantic relationships, you may find that your decisions now have far-lasting consequences. The more tender you are now when interacting with your paramours, the better off you may be to begin 2024. As December advances, most of the tension in the air will dissipate, but remember that Mercury retrograde is coming up, so the more you remain adaptable and humble, the more you can resolve before the New Year. Spiritual challenges may remain the entire month, but these are all part of your maturation process and can be dealt with with patience and deferred gratification.

Cancer (Summer Solstice to approx. July 21^st): Tension may be the theme of the beginning of December, so if you were hoping for a gentle start, you may be disappointed. Challenges may be present regarding your inner healing, romantic relationships, workplace communication, and figuring out your spiritual direction. However, your creativity, intuition, financial abundance, and good health are in your favor. As December continues, many of the challenges fade, but one life area that may still need to be dealt with is the career and occupation. Communication problems may be frequent, and there may be a sense of urgency to wrap up projects before the calendar’s end. Your daily life may interfere with where you’re going in a broad sense, but not all interferences are bad, as you may learn. Enjoyment may be found in getting to the root of repetitive patterns in relationships if you take the time to research.

Leo (Approx. July 21^st to approx. August 21^st): Like Aries, you may find excess energy at your disposal as December 2023 begins, and with this may come increased optimism and creativity. Romantic relationships are also rolling along smoothly at this time, and with this may come money and access to the finer things in life. Regarding finances and food, it would be wise to play things conservatively until 2024 arrives. As December continues, you may discover the extra energy has dissipated to be replaced by challenges in your romantic relationships. These problems may be due to ego clashes, so compromising when appropriate would be smart. Your daily life may still be full of unexpected situations that challenge your emotional control, and you may be more prone to excess than normal, so while you’re looking ahead to 2024, keep your focus on daily life if possible.  

Virgo (Approx. August 21^st to Autumnal Equinox): Challenges and problems may come up at the beginning of the month that have to do with travel, investments, and your ongoing spiritual dilemmas, so you may find it smart to focus on what you can control rather than trying to control everything. Your career, money, and daily life may be a good focal point for your attention. If you focus on these, you may find you can put yourself in a good position for 2024. As the month progresses, many of the challenges from earlier in the month dissipate and are replaced with communication issues, especially in your workplace. Money through business may flow easily to you, and your romantic life may be extra intense, for ill and for well. The Mercury retrograde may focus on how you speak to others, as you may find it is time to change your approach to dealing with people.

Libra (Autumnal Equinox to approx. October 21^st): Romantic relationships may continue to be a major focal point for the beginning of December, and I encourage you to ride this wave as much as possible because this will dissipate shortly after the end of the first week. Your creativity may be stronger than normal, too, and if you apply yourself, you may discover that your projects turn out better than desired. As December matures, the good times change to challenges that have to do with your career, occupation, and overall direction of life. Travel may be enjoyable towards the latter part of the month, but to offset this, you may find it is time to eat a piece of humble pie or at least be honest with yourself about some uncomfortable truths about your personality. With some work, you may find you are in a position to create spiritual growth.

Scorpio (Approx. October 21^st to approx. November 21^st): When it comes to your daily life, you may find the best way to proceed as December begins is by playing things conservatively and cautiously. Your career may be rolling along nicely at the beginning of the month, but your personal life may require many minor adjustments through mid-December. As the month continues, you may get tested on your ability to deal with daily life, health, and money, but if you handle these subjects well, it might just free up your energy and attention to focus on the big picture of life rather than the small details. Money may flow easily to you through your business the later in the month it gets, and your romantic life may show a spark of passion and intensity.

Sagittarius (Approx. November 21^st to Winter Solstice): Happy birthday Sagittarians! This is your month to let your hair down and celebrate. Optimism, extra energy, wanderlust, creativity, and good fortune may all be found in abundance, so if you stay alert, you may capitalize on many good things that might otherwise be missed. Romantic relationships may be rolling along nicely and smoothly, but the later they get in the month, the more they may require adjustments. As December marches, adjustments may become the norm rather than the exception. This may be particularly true in your career and romantic relationships. Impulsiveness may be a temptation to deal with throughout the month, as is the desire to be blunt rather than tactful. It would also be smart to be careful when traveling.

Capricorn (Winter Solstice to approx. January 21^st): Personal communication and adaptability in the workplace may be major themes that usher in December 2023, and if handled carefully, you may maneuver yourself into a solid position to welcome January 2024. Dealing with money and work may be smart for the beginning of the month, and paying attention to your diet would also be good to keep in mind. As the month progresses, you may find that almost everything, and I do mean almost everything, comes together and rolls along smoothly. The only challenges left as January 2024 looms have to do with internal healing, particularly concerning your ego and sense of self. Do your best to avoid head injuries, and be careful with your sweet tooth.

Aquarius (Approx. January 21^st to approx. February 21^st): Your daily life may continue to present challenges, which might also be true of money and health as December 2023 begins. Your emotions may be tense at the beginning of the month, but this will only last a few days. Traveling might be a good remedy around the beginning of the month, so if you get the chance, you may want to indulge. As December advances, things may become generally challenged, with special emphasis on your daily life, romantic relationships, and money through business. A subtle danger to note is that of getting in your way, and this can be remedied through humility and being open to new and different ways to do things. This is part of your ongoing internal healing process and can help you open up to new, positive experiences towards the middle of 2024.

Pisces (Approx. February 21^st to Spring Equinox): On the surface, things might be rolling along nicely and smoothly as December 2023 begins, but if you dig deeper, you will find challenges and problems that have to do with spirituality and travel. Communication may also be challenged, but specifically, as it pertains to speaking your truth. Money may easily come to you through your daily grind, and expansion opportunities can be found around every corner. Once the middle of the month rolls around, a sense of even better things may come for you in early 2024. Dangers while traveling, spiritual quandaries, and issues with honesty may be the only problems left to deal with in late December, but if these are handled well, January 2024 may bring a whole new positive world full of potential waiting to be developed.

*FOR ALL SIGNS: Mercury retrogrades on December 12^th at eight degrees Capricorn and will stay retrograde until January 2^nd, which will be at twenty-two degrees Sagittarius. Thus, for the whole month, do your best to avoid miscommunications and address whatever unresolved workplace projects are outstanding so that you can enter 2024 with as clean of a slate as possible. This also means playing it safe while traveling on New Year’s Eve.

What’s in Your Future?

Aries (Spring Equinox-approx. April 21st): November 2023 may start with more fire than
you can handle, Aries, so it would be wise to go into the month with a plan for monthly
achievements. You may also find that you are shorter-tempered than normal if you are
opposed. A good way to handle the beginning of the month is by chatting with friends
and easing into it rather than fully launching into it. As the month progresses, you may
see that optimism fills the air and that there is a new sense of hope and positive vibes.
You may also find tension in your romantic relationships, but this will be short-lived.
One of the better ways to handle this is through diplomacy and making appropriate and
healthy concessions. By the very end of the month, you may be emotionally charged to
start December.

Taurus (Approx. April 21st to approx. May 21st): The theme of the first few weeks of
November may be tension, especially regarding communication and business, so it would
be wise to take a detached approach to things. You may also discover that the unexpected
is still the norm in daily life, but it might easily be manageable since this has happened
for a while. As the month progresses, you may notice the majority of that tension
dissipates, but there is still a lingering short temper. Emotional and spiritual themes may
take up much of your time and energy, but if you play your cards right, you can lay a
foundation for long-term deferred growth. Your creativity and imagination may be
stronger than normal, but it could bring confusion and a lack of clarity if you don’t put it
to good use.

Gemini (Approx. May 21st to Summer Solstice): Stronger than normal emotions may be
how November 2023 begins, and one of the better ways to channel this is by talking to
friends and engaging in frivolous activities. There may be challenges when it comes to
money coming to you through your day job, and if you are not mindful, health challenges
may crop up, too. Regarding romance, it is worth noting that now is a good time to
dissect things and take them apart rather than looking at the superficial. As the month
continues, there may be a shift in the air regarding communication, and you may find this
is a source of tension. You may be called on to be decisive towards the end of the month,
which might be counterintuitive, although it is the right way to proceed. There may be
challenges when it comes to your emotions, too, but these can be mitigated through faith
and spirituality.

Cancer (Summer Solstice to approx. July 21st ): November 2023 may start with a blast of
intensity, whether it concerns business or your words carrying more weight than normal,
so it would be wise to be cautious and calculating. Another theme for the first two weeks
is taking care of the resources you share with others. Money may flow easily through
your daily job, and taking time to clean, especially the kitchen and offices would be wise.
As the month matures, you may find the intensity dissipates, but now there are challenges
when it comes to romance. There may also be problems when it comes to diplomacy with
your loved ones, and one of the better ways to handle this is through the system of give
and take.

Leo (Approx. July 21st to August 21st ): Challenges galore may be the theme of the first
two weeks of November, but most of these will have to do with business, playing well
with others, and business communication. On the bright side, this is the perfect time to
reach out and chat with others. Finding advice and comfort with friends may be
especially helpful. With some minor adjustments, you may find more money comes to
you through your daily work life. If applicable, early November is also a good time to
change your diet. As the month progresses, you may discover that optimism and
increased energy are prevalent, so let this be the light guiding you through the first half of
the month. Your romantic relationships may take a turn for the positive, too, and this
could result in money through your relationship or simply a deepening love with your
partner.

Virgo (Approx. August 21st to Autumnal Equinox): Business, business, business may be
the dominant theme for the beginning of the month, so if you hit the ground running, you
may find you can tap into a lot of potential waiting to be grabbed. Unexpected money
may easily come to you during the first two weeks, and adjusting your diet may also be
worth it. Love is flowing nicely at this time, too, even though you may not feel open to it
spiritually. As November evolves, you may find challenges in communication, especially
when it comes to being honest and direct. The same romantic relationships that were
good at the beginning of the month may require minor adjustments for success, but if
these changes are made, things may turn out very well over December.

Libra (Autumnal Equinox to approx. October 21st ): I realize that at the beginning of
November, you may want to chat with your friends and indulge in a variety of interests,
but this could take you away from achieving success if you make minor, necessary
adjustments when it comes to business and your professional life. It may also be worth it
to make changes to your diet. As the month moves forward, money may start easily
flowing your way through your contacts. Romance may also come easily to you, bringing
with it very good blessings. Optimism may be in the air, and your communication skills
will be sharper than normal if you stick to clarity and directness. Emotional tension may
be in the air for the last two weeks, but this will quickly dissipate. Spiritual tension may
remain in place, and although this has been going on for a while, you may see that your
inner changes are now gaining traction.

Scorpio (Approx. October 21st to approx. November 21st ): Happy birthday, Scorpios! This
is your month, and while I realize many of you have already had birthdays, that does not
mean you can’t celebrate more! November starts with a lot of emphasis on business,
being proactive there, and money easily coming to you through those channels. Your
health may also be very good right now as well. As November marches on, you may find
that your adaptability skills are showcased and that by using them, you can achieve
surprising success in your daily work life and maybe even your romantic relationships.
Even though you may feel emotionally solid and ready to go, this may be a good time to
focus on what’s coming next rather than what you want to happen. Mars energy may play
a heavy role for the whole month, culminating in a climax around the last week of the
month.

Sagittarius (Approx. November 21st to Winter Solstice): With November 2023, we inch
closer to your birthday, but before you get there, you may find challenges that have to
deal with money through work and your romantic relationships take the majority of your
time and energy. The first couple of weeks are all about adjustments, but most of those
will have to do with your professional life specifically. Be prepared for people to take
what you say to heart, so choose your words carefully. As November goes forth, you may
notice that proactivity is the name of the game, and the more you put it out there, the
more you set yourself up for maximizing future opportunities. Communication and
adaptability may be two major themes, and the good news is that both may be coming
easily to you. Sharing your spirituality with others may be good for the soul, or travel
may be very nurturing if you are so inclined.

Capricorn (Winter Solstice to approx. January 21st ): Like other signs, business and
professional development may be the two major themes that start November, and in your
case, these are not only flowing along nicely and smoothly, but they may also be
producing stronger results than expected. This is also a good time to clean your office,
body, or both. As the month continues, challenges in your romantic life may be common
around the middle of the month. Frivolously spending money in the presence of friends
may be a danger to avoid. The emphasis on the workplace may dissipate, but in its place
is a focus on adaptation, particularly communication. You may also sense emotional and
spiritual changes are coming, but their nature is evolution rather than degradation. Watch
your temper for a few days after the sun enters Sagittarius, and if you do that, you may
find the ambient energy can be channeled into productive projects.

Aquarius (Approx. January 21st to approx. February 21st ): Challenges, as they have to do
with sex, business, and shared resources, may all be themes for the first half of
November, so it would be wise to apply your intelligence to whatever comes up. The
good news is that you can find help by contacting your friends and having brief
networking conversations when possible. As November matures, the ambient energy
changes to that of optimism and clear communication. Your romantic relationships may
also take a turn for the better, and this is a good time to engage in diplomacy in whatever
life area requires it. Your emotions may still be challenged but will largely clear up by
early December. For the whole month, it is wise to play things financially conservatively.

Pisces (Approx. February 21st to Spring Equinox): November 2023 begins with tension in
the air when it comes to your romantic life, money coming to you through the workplace,
and health, so it would be wise to focus on those areas as the month begins. Even though
your emotions may be out of sorts, this will only last a few days. With the right focus,
you may put yourself in a position for long-term business success by being proactive.
This is also a good time to pick up a side job for the extra cash. As the month continues,
things may go from rolling along nicely to being full of challenges, especially when it
comes to communication and spirituality. For the last week of the month or so, your
psychic skills may be stronger than normal, as will your emotions, but these can be too
much of a good thing. Having a creative outlet for the extra energy would be smart to
develop if you don’t have one already.
