November presents the last occasion of Mercury going retrograde for 2018, so beware of mishaps in travel arrangements, misunderstandings in constructing projects and wacky behavior in technology. From November 17 through December 6, we will feel a collective shift regarding the speed at which we think. Indecision plagues us, as the quick wit we once possessed turns into muddled processing that may cause arguments. Lacking the patience to think things through, we say the first thing that comes to mind. Sometimes it’s best to stay quiet if you’re not completely sure what’s appropriate. Save face and just smile.
01
November – Scorpio
Happy solar return, Scorpio maiden. Those in your circle are eager to celebrate your candor, sensitivity and subtle strength. Let’s hope you’re not pegged as being ungrateful when you explain your desire to stay close to home instead of going barhopping. You’ve been working on your ability to speak confidently without hurting anyone’s feelings, so share your truth. No one knows how hard you’ve fought to get to this place in your life.
02
November – Sagittarius
Your ruling planet, Jupiter, will enter your Sun sign this month, making you the celestial favorite. For the next year you could be flooded with opportunities and blessings. You may be feeling optimistic, which is a reminder of the superhero status you once possessed. Be patient as you allow the good vibes to find you. You’re beginning to see the light again. Welcome back.
03
November – Capricorn
You normally meet challenges head-on, often finding solutions more quickly than a problem can arrive. However, when emotional disturbances arise, you’re required to go deep and revisit pain. Instead of hiding behind career pursuits, share a few moments with friends and/or support groups that can help you delve into those feelings. Emerging with a new sense of confidence, you’ll be able to assist others to heal their wounds as well.
04
November – Aquarius
You might feel pulled in two directions now. On the one hand, you’ve been bitten by the travel bug or moved to expand your education. On the other, you’re successfully putting out fires for anyone who needs you. Take many deep breaths and divide yourself equally. You won’t be too productive if you neglect feeding your soul. Ignore opinions and voices that may derail your mission and know you’ve got this.
05
November – Pisces
Do yourself a favor: Take a break. It doesn’t need to be a vacation or a getaway, but it could be as basic as eliminating too much stimulation. Dive into a good book, discover the joy in observing the simplicity of children at a park. It’s healing to marvel at the magic of innocence. By letting the more aggressive signs take the wheel, you can recharge until they inevitably call on your caring heart once more.
06
November – Aries
You have the opportunity to settle a contractual issue you’ve been mulling over. Whether it be child support, a new business venture or another stream of income, it’s time to find a solution. You may need to seek professional advice to keep you on track. Emotional backing from a significant other could take the pressure off during the process. Easy does it.
07
November – Taurus
Others appreciate how you meticulously plan special moments for those you care about. Unfortunately, this month your career has become more demanding, leaving you little time for amour. Maybe you can mix the two with a business–romantic escape. Are you single? Find a partner in crime to help celebrate your efforts. Remain generous with your affection and watch the abundance flow.
08
November – Gemini
You’re the last person to focus on events that happened years ago. “Keep it light” is your motto. That may be the order of the day as you strengthen bonds with relatives at a party or while relaxing at Thanksgiving. Reaffirming your commitment to a family member doesn’t have to be taxing. Laugh over disagreements. It almost always guarantees forgiveness.
09
November – Cancer
November brings love, fun and creativity to you in the most adventurous ways. Try new restaurants, hike fresh trails, paint exciting shades of the season, fall in love with the thrill of achievement. Don’t let mundane responsibilities hold you back. Finish those chores, then go out and absorb every ounce of joy you can. Sometimes the best inspirations are better savored while riding solo.
10
November – Leo
Your larger-than-life personality brings a positive energy to everyone you meet. There’s a definite lull when the lioness seeks her den. Many will miss you as you retreat to make sure the house is in order, the family receives the attention it needs and your foundation is strong. The last objective involves reevaluating priorities and setting new standards. Cherish your personal reset. We look forward to your shining brightly again soon.
11
November – Virgo
The mind of a Virgo is reminiscent of binary codes: You process information quickly and efficiently. This month Mercury, the planet of communication, is moving fast, forcing you to think double time. You’re trying your hardest to secure what you hear as truth and holding people to their word. Many others are confused, too, so rely on your intuition. Avoid misunderstandings by focusing on the results.
12
November – Libra
Consider additional ways to earn money as long as they make you happy. Try organizing social gatherings for profit or selling something crafty for the holiday season. If that doesn’t interest you, attending a concert or learning to paint could boost your self-esteem. Color outside the lines with courage and zeal. Remember, you are the architect of your happiness.
