Â
Aries (Spring Equinox-approx. April 21st): While you may find optimism and travel are common at the beginning of the month, you might also note tension in your romantic life, and challenges having to do with the home and immediate family. All of this is part of your ongoing healing process. There’s extra energy in the air as the month starts, and if you harness it carefully, you might surprise yourself with how much you can accomplish. After the middle of the month, you may find things take a drastic change for the better. The tension in your love life will most likely dissipate, to be replaced by more optimism, travel, and energy. The issues with your family and homelife may still be there, but now the emphasis may be on finding out what is really going on rather than how things appear.
Â
Taurus (Approx. April 21st to approx. May 21st): Tension may be the name of the game as November begins, and this may mostly have to do with going your own way vs. going the way of others. Because of this, your tension may be shorter than normal, and if you hurry through things, you may be accident-prone. The good news is that your creativity may be stronger than normal, and your spirituality may be a major focal point. As the month progresses, you may discover that much of the tension dissipates, except for communication issues, so it would be wise to be extra clear and patient when you talk. Throughout the month, your immediate family and home life may be a major area of rest and pleasure. The later in the month it gets, the more communication issues may arise, so consider this your warning.
Gemini (Approx. May 21st to Summer Solstice): Like Taurus, tension may be present at the beginning of the month, but most of this will have to do with communication specifically. Emotional, creative, and spiritual challenges may be common as well, but you may find solace in your friendships. These relationships may also bring money if you make the right connections and seize the right opportunities. As the month continues, you may find that the tension in the air increases, spreading beyond just communication. You may find traveling challenging, and physical activity may also be strenuous or cause problems if you don’t do the proper prep work. The last two weeks of the month may also emphasize making internal changes for spiritual and emotional growth.
Â
Cancer (Summer Solstice to approx. July 21st): There’s a lot to unpack this month, Cancers, so let’s get started. First, your emotions may be stronger than normal this month, as is your intuition, so when in doubt, listen to your instincts. But, there may be challenges present that have to do with romance or your casual friendships, and if you don’t handle things well, these could cost you money. Your creativity may also be stronger than normal during the first two weeks. Good fortune may also bless your family and home. As the month continues, the relationship challenges will most likely dissipate, and the good news is that they won’t be replaced with other issues. In general, the later the month gets, the better you might find it. When Jupiter retrogrades, you may find it is time to reassess how you interact with your family, because a dual approach to things may be better than a direct one.Â
Leo (Approx. July 21st to approx. August 21st): As November begins, you may find good things come your way, having to do with romance and friendships, and these may be beneficial both personally and financially. To offset this, though, you may find challenges in the air related to leading or following, especially when it comes to moving forward in life. These issues may lead to arguments and other problems if they’re not handled well. As the month matures, communication challenges and romantic issues may come up due to the Mercury retrograde, so it would be wise to be open-minded and flexible. The good news is that you may feel more optimistic than usual after the middle of the month, and some travel might do your soul good. Optimistically speaking, your truth might help as well.
Virgo (Approx. August 21st to Autumnal Equinox): When November begins, you may find emotional, spiritual, and creative tension present, and there may be communication issues as well. But, business might be rolling along rather nicely, and with a few adjustments, you might find that some financial gain comes your way. Your homelife and immediate family may also be rolling along nicely, and if you put in the work, you may discover that opportunities for growth and prosperity can be found in the home. As November progresses, it may be time to review business procedures, and if you do, you may find money —or a renewed love for the process. However, communication issues may be all too common, and travel may be difficult, so allow extra time and set aside some extra money, just in case. The two pillars you can trust throughout the whole month are your work and home.Â
Â
Libra (Autumnal Equinox to approx. October 21st): Romance, money through friends, and enjoying the company of them, may all be blessings as November begins, so it would be wise to capitalize on the opportunities as they present themselves. It would also be wise to communicate, particularly honestly, with your foreign friends. There may be challenges in your homelife involving your immediate family that are inhibiting your ability to grow and expand, but these have been going on for a while and will continue for a while still. The first two weeks of the month are also a good time to brainstorm for new ideas and approaches to vexes. As the month continues, you may discover that things get a lot better if you focus on the bright side and approach things with a sense of optimism. In late November, you may find it helpful and relaxing to take a journey somewhere, especially to a foreign destination if possible.
Scorpio (Approx. October 21st to approx. November 21st): Happy birthday, Scorpios! This is your month, and you may find it is time to let your hair down and have some fun. November starts with extra energy in the air, and if you focus correctly, you may find you can accomplish more than you planned. The first two weeks of the month are a great time for spiritual growth and creativity if you set aside time and energy to engage in either or both. Your intuition may be sharper than normal, so it would be wise to listen to it when necessary. As the month matures, you may discover things go from average to fantastic! Creativity, love, and spirituality may all be enhanced to the point of being overwhelming. Revisiting situations related to these might yield unexpected, positive results, especially if you make the internal changes necessary for growth and healing.
Sagittarius (Approx. November 21st to Winter Solstice): November 2025 may begin with romance or pleasure through your friendships, so it would be wise to embrace opportunities that arise. Your communication and adaptability skills may be on point, too, and there might be pleasure available to you through travel. However, spirituality and emotions may pose challenges, but most of these have been ongoing and are thus diffused in intensity. The whole month may be a good time to make changes in how you approach spirituality and handle your emotions. As the month continues, things may go your way even more. Optimism may serve you well, and you may spend a lot of the second half of the month traveling or exploring your spiritual side. You may also have increased energy. While the Mercury retrograde may hit you hard in the beginning, you may also see that it gets weaker the deeper you get into the month.Â
Capricorn (Winter Solstice to approx. January 21st): Tension and challenges in almost all areas of life are the ways that November 2025 may begin, so it would be wise to prepare ahead of time. Specifically, these may involve your home, immediate family, romantic relationships, friendships, and an initiation for the next part of your ongoing psychological healing journey. The good news is that your business and profession may be running smoothly, and your creativity may be stronger than usual. While challenges may surround you, you may also note that your emotional control and energetic sensitivity may be sharper than average. The last two weeks of the month may be a good time to review your business procedures and how shared resources are managed, as some changes may yield results that are bigger than expected.
Â
Aquarius (Approx. January 21st to approx. February 21st): November 2025 has an interesting beginning to it, so it would be wise to think things through. First, there may be challenges with your temper and being accident-prone when you’re not at the top of your game. But your communication and adaptability skills may be sharper than normal, and good things may come your way through your friendships. Your romantic life may also be moving along nicely. As the month matures, most of the challenges from earlier in the month will have dissipated, replaced by good vibes in the air and a lust for travel. The challenges that remain will have to do with loved ones, shared resources, business, and conflicting with people when it comes to figuring out how to move ahead with projects and goals.Â
Â
Pisces (Approx. February 21st to Spring Equinox): Even though this is the month of Scorpio, you may feel like it is your time, too. When November begins, you may find your emotions and creativity are stronger than normal, and that you are going through a spiritual initiation of sorts. Romance may also be in the air, and it may be a spiritual type of relationship. However, there may also be communication problems, so it would be in your best interest to be cautious when talking to others. As the month continues, challenges may arise related to communication and travel, so it would be wise to allow extra time for both and, if possible, to have a safety net. The later Mercury retrograde gets, the rougher it may start and the better it may get by the end of November, so revisiting spiritual and business themes may bring blessings in disguise. Throughout the month, your close friends, family, and home may all be the pillars you can lean on when necessary.Â
