Welcome to November, the month when we go in deep, grow more introspective, and then rise up in thanksgiving for all the gifts we’ve uncovered throughout our time in Scorpio season’s cave. I’m being a little dramatic here for fun because this month is full of surprises and twists and turns. It’s going to be an adventure!
Let’s start with the big event.
We start our Taurus/Scorpio eclipse series with the Taurus partial lunar eclipse on November 19. The nodes change signs on December 22, 2021, and then, we’ll have our next series of eclipses in these signs. This eclipse signifies economic shifts, especially the balance between earning, spending, saving, and investing. We’re apt to look carefully at our spending habits and see where we can cut back, despite the approaching holiday season. This nodal axis helps us exercise more caution and prioritize our spending — nothing frivolous with the Taurus north node!
The eclipse heightens the intensity of the month, especially from November 4’s Scorpio New Moon up to the 19th. Eclipses can stir up past karma, show us the ways in which our desires aren’t being fulfilled, or catalyze change.
This eclipse is like an anchor for our energy in the middle of the month. All events and happenings will lead up to it, but let’s look at those in detail.
The Scorpio New Moon on November 4 features an opposition with Uranus, the planet of change and surprises.
? Expect the unexpected is an understatement! What do you want to change? What are you willing to let go of? This New Moon is magical for creating space for a new beginning. Well, it’s magical, period!
Mercury enters Scorpio on November 5 and Venus enters Capricorn that same day. In love, we crave a stable partnership under this influence. We abandon our free-spirited impulses and begin to see our partners as grounding forces in our lives. We want our relationships to move toward commitment or to recommit to ourselves in new ways. It’s a time for practical considerations in all relationships.
Mercury in Scorpio helps us go deep to assess problems and determine solutions. It’s excellent for research, healing, or therapy. It’s also a favorable time for deep conversations with friends or loved ones.
On November 10, Mercury will meet up with Mars, and both will square Saturn.
This could be a challenging day with inner tension inspiring life change. Have healthy outlets for stress! From November 10-17, we can have a build-up of frustrated energy with these transits if we’re not careful.
The sun enters Sagittarius on November 21, and we start the season of giving and indulging.
At the end of the month, Mercury enters Sagittarius on the 24th and then Mars in Scorpio applies a favorable trine to Neptune in Pisces on November 29. We close out the month by being able to see a bigger picture and having compassion for others. These transits help us restore peace where there’s been trouble. Also, they give us faith and hope for brighter days ahead as we head into the last month of 2021
November Horoscopes
Aries (March 21-April 19)
For everything, there is a time and a season—a time for beginnings and endings. Right now, you are in the middle of a new phase in one area of life and ending a chapter in another.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
For a moment, stop everything you’re doing and appreciate your life. Think about this year’s milestones and happy moments. Pat yourself on the back for the times your dedication has paid off. When we are working toward a goal, it can be tempting to focus on what is lacking in our lives—those unmanifested desires—rather than appreciating where we are right now.

Pisces (February 19-March 20)
Faith and doubt work on a continuum sometimes. We can’t get to faith without moving through times of doubt.
