Ethereal, romantic and full of promise for jovial moments with loved ones and friends, fall hits its peak in November. This is the month during which it’s nearly impossible to avoid getting swept up in the whimsical, festive vibe of autumn, and the astrology of the moment only serves to emphasize this energy. After all, this is a month hosted by both Scorpio season, which supports your emotional intelligence, intimate relationships and self-empowerment, and Sagittarius season, which boosts your joyfulness and sense of adventure.
A few key days to circle on your calendar as you kick off this thrilling month: The month begins with a mystical new moon in the sign of the Scorpion on November 1, encouraging you to reflect and set intentions related to your inner power, closest bonds, sex life and personal transformations you want to make. Then, right on the heels of this lunation are two fiery planetary shifts: First, Mercury, the messenger planet, moves into unfiltered, truth-seeking mutable fire sign Sagittarius on November 2 and Mars, the planet of action and energy, lands in fixed fire sign Leo, bringing a fiercely driven, optimistic and take-charge, passionate tone to how we’ll all hit the gas on our aspirations.
Venus, the planet of relationships, will steer us toward being more serious and industrious in our relationships, sense of beauty and style and approach to earning when it enters cardinal earth sign Capricorn on November 11. And the sensual, grounded full moon in Taurus on November 15 occurs on the same day as Saturn, the taskmaster planet, ends its retrograde. Pluto, the planet of power, control and regeneration, will move back into Aquarius on November 19 where it’ll remain until 2044. The month wraps up with Mercury going retrograde in Sagittarius on November 25, encouraging us to slow down and look in the rearview — especially when it comes to our belief systems and most fired-up opinions — until December 15.
Here’s how to take advantage of this month’s celestial events, based on your zodiac sign. (Be sure to read both your sun and your rising sign if you know it. If you don’t, you can find it in your birth chart or by using this CafeAstrology calculator.)
Aries
The sun will continue its journey through your intimacy zone until November 21, urging you to be more vulnerable and nurture your closest bonds. Putting your nose to the grindstone alongside a family member or loved one on shared financial goals is also a key focus now, supported by the November 1 new moon in this zone. In the days surrounding this lunation, you’ll do well to think about what you want to accomplish with your nearest and dearest — whether it has to do with your relationship or joint resources — and come up with a laser-focused game plan for getting there. And you’ll feel more creative and lighthearted once Mars, your ruling planet, is direct in your self-expression zone from November 3 until its retrograde on December 6. The full moon on November 15 falls in your income zone, requiring that you meditate on the connection between self-worth and your earning strategy. And when the confident sun moves into your adventure zone on November 21, where it remains until December 21, your restlessness – and ability to key into gut impulses — soars.

Taurus
This month kicks off with a huge spotlight on your one-on-one relationships, because the November 1 new moon falls in your partnership zone.

Both will spend some quality time in these zones, thanks to their retrogrades beginning on November 25 and December 6 respectively. You could also be inspired to break free of your typical comfort zone alongside a significant other or loved one once your ruler, sweet Venus, moves through your adventure sector from November 11 to December 7. Prepare yourself to be more emotional and sensitive than usual around November 15 when your annual full moon strikes. Self-care is a must. And as the sun travels through your joint resources and emotional bonds zone from November 21 to December 21, wearing your heart on your sleeve bolsters your closest connections all around.

Gemini
As the sun’s moved through your wellness and daily routine zone since mid-October, you’ve likely been laser-focused on tending to your everyday hustle and health, which, to be fair, could be a bit draining. Around November 1, when the new moon falls here, you can set a clear, impactful goal related to this area of your life. Being intentional could lead to an almost magical manifestation of your vision. Your platonic and one-on-one relationships are a key focus this month, as well, beginning with your ruler messenger Mercury’s shift into your partnership zone on November 2 — previewing the sun’s time there from November 21 to December 21 — and go-getter Mars beginning its trip through your communication zone on November 3. You’ll be empowered to speak up about your needs within all of these bonds, work even harder to find common ground and perhaps even enjoy fulfilling learning experiences with others. And when it comes to nurturing your closest bonds, you’ll have sweet Venus on your side from November 11 to December 7, as it’ll be moving through your intimacy zone. Just be prepared to start taking a more meditative approach — especially when it comes to building momentum on shared goals — from November 25 to December 15, because Mercury’s retrograde will require slowing down and reflecting before plowing ahead once more.

And after two months in your sign, Mars, the planet of aggression and action, finally shifts into your money zone, fueling your efforts to move the ball forward on financial aspirations, like applying for a higher paying job or bringing your skills to the table in a new way. You can also look forward to being able to lean on a dear friend, significant other or loved one more than usual and feeling even more fulfilled when spending quality time together, because from November 11 to December 7, relationship-oriented Venus will be in your partnership zone.

Leo
November could feel like a jolt into a whole new chapter. For starters, you’ve been immersed in managing issues related to your family and inner life, thanks to your ruler, the sun, spending time in your home sector since mid-October, and around November 1, you’ll have a special opportunity to key into a related goal and come up with a brilliant, effective, focused plan for making it a reality. And right on the heels of that move, you’ll feel even more empowered, assertive and driven, thanks to go-getter Mars moving forward in your sign from November 3 to December 6. It’s possible you haven’t felt so assertive and fired up to make your mark since late spring and early summer 2023. Friends and colleagues could help make your day-to-day grind more fun and social with sweet Venus spending time in your routine sector from November 11 to December 7. And you could begin to see the fruits of your labor related to your professional path around December 15 when the full moon falls in your career zone.

Virgo
This month is one full of opportunities to connect with your friends and colleagues and also take a backseat from the buzziness of socializing to care for your inner life and family, thanks to the sun spending time in both your communication zone and home sector. But the former is your main focus as November begins, and around November 1, you can set a powerful intention related to how you’re expressing your ideas, learning and brainstorming with others. Your ruling planet, messenger Mercury, moves into your home zone on November 3, supporting your efforts to talk through, research and plan ahead with loved ones until its retrograde on November 25. Meanwhile, don’t hesitate to build in extra restful downtime or time for mind-body practices while go-getter Mars is direct in your spirituality zone from November 3 to December 6, because this transit was made for dreaming and reflection versus putting the pedal to the metal on goal-getting. This isn’t to say that you can’t completely revel in this fun-loving season, because romantic Venus in your self-expression sector from November 11 to December 7 brings a lot of lightness, empowering you to speak straight from the heart and prioritize your pleasure and joyfulness, especially when spending time with a significant other or loved ones.
