Monthly
Horoscope:
MONTHLY OVERVIEW:
Pack up that fleece and shimmy into velvet, cashmere and jersey wool. The
Sun has departed from your homey fourth house and entered sizzling Scorpio.
Romance drips like Gothic chandeliers wherever you go. Bring on the sex,
suitors and celebration. This is a month to show off your trademark décolletage,
to raise mayhem and hemlines alike. Make a statement in bold colors and
chunky costume jewelry.
Party season starts early for you, especially around the November 2nd full moon—a social high point. This is a great day to network, so check out industry events and conferences early this month. Single Crabs could discover more than just professional chemistry. Come Thanksgiving, the Sun will be in Sagittarius, your apron-and-potholders sixth house. You’ll be be too busy deglazing pans and booking everyone’s plane tickets to notice the admirers clamoring for your attention.
LOVE & ROMANCE:
November is a great month to bring the va-va-voom back to your love life.
Start by asking yourself: what am I passionate about? There’s nothing
sexier than a self-possessed person who’s steeped in her own pleasure
principle. Confidence and the willingness to declare your devotion to
a band, a movie, a design era makes a strong impression. It’s a
fact: people like to be around happy energy, not Debbie Downers.
The Scorpio new moon on November 16th awakens your passion. Seize this day and make your romantic intentions clear. Your fertility is especially high this month, and the new moon is a good time to conceive if you’re expanding your brood. Watch for drama stirred by rattled confidence or money stress from the 16th-23rd. During this week, old insecurities could surface, setting your mood to “Search and Destroy.” Don’t lash out at your partner or loved ones in a regrettable tirade.
MONEY & CAREER:
Confidence equals cash, so it’s time to be that squeaky wheel, Cancer.
Unstoppable Mars is in Leo, your money house, until June 2010. The heavens
have afforded you an extra-long cycle to shore up your earning power. You
must be aggressive and direct to win, so so sharpen your competitive edge
with coaching, seminars and good old-fashioned practice. If your skills
are behind the curve, find projects where you can develop them. More likely,
you just need to toot your own horn—you’ve already got the
talent.
The Taurus full moon on November 2nd is a great time to network or kick butt at a meeting. Just don’t let desperation seep into your energy field. Clear any insecurity or financial neediness before you step in the room—even if you just free-write in a journal to release the emotional tension. Even better, get a massage or mani-pedi a few hours before, so you’re in a comfortable, embodied state.
On the 4th, foggy Neptune ends a five-month retrograde in your wealth sector. Get clear about your financial obligations, especially taxes, interest-bearing loans, real estate and debt. It’s a good time to write a will or buy insurance—especially renters or homeowners policies. Neptune is a seductress, and if a shiny new platinum card or deferred-interest “checks” arrive, attack with scissors and flush. Don’t use the holidays to justify racking up more debt or spending beyond your means.
HEALTH & FITNESS:
While purists would disagree, we believe pleasure is healthy. Sometimes,
you have to feast with abandon, and November is your turn at the banquet
table. For the first three weeks, enjoy food and drink in celebration
of life. Get creative in the kitchen, sample a new restaurant, try that
new grape Wine Spectator raved about. Instead of denying
yourself in anticipation of the holidays, live now. On the 21st, the
Sun enters your healthy sixth house. You’ll be less interested
in butter cookies and pumpkin pie then, anyway. If you’re preparing
holiday dinner (and there’s a good chance you are), plan a local
and seasonal menu.
Family could be a sore spot over the holidays this year—or an emotional challenge. Tough Saturn is spending the next three years in Libra, your home and family sector. You may need to assert boundaries with disrespectful relatives who assume you’ve got “Welcome” tattooed on your forehead. Or, you might have to step in a more responsible role. Saturn puts your relationship with parents or children through a maturity phase. There could be temporary rifts or hardships that the family needs to weather. Slow down and take really good care of yourself.
