What’s Your Florascope? November 2017 Edition

Aries (Mar 20 – April 19): Relationships get turned a bit upside down with your ruler Mars in your opposite sign of Libra and Venus in Scorpio. You may find that roles get reversed in your life at this time, whereby you are not asserting yourself as much as you normally would, but instead others may take initiative with you. There is an interesting dance going on within your intimate world where you can feel a revitalization of your passions. It is nice to be desired and to receive someone’s attention, rather than always having to do all the work yourself. Enjoy this time and indulge yourself, allowing other’s overtures to evolve and see where they take you.

Taurus (April 20 – May 19): In November you receive a Full Moon in your sign opposing a cluster of planets in your relationship sector, including your ruling planet, Venus. This is profound, powerful, and zestful. It’s a definite eye opener as to what your emotional needs are now, considering this new influx of energy in your partnership house. This group of planets receives a lovely aspect from Neptune, turning direct in your 11th house, which can drive a deep psychic connection with a loved one. Meanwhile, Mars will be in Libra in your 6th house challenging Pluto. It’s a great time to initiate a new exercise program that focuses on strengthening your body. And in this case, the stronger you feel, the sexier you will be.

Gemini (May 20 – June 20): Expansion is on the horizon, now that Jupiter is settled in your 6th house of work and health for the next year. If you love your current employment, then it’s a great time to make a leap forward with either promotions or a salary increase. On the contrary, if you aren’t thrilled with your work circumstances, make use of this expansive time by seeking another option. There is no time to be wasted here, as opportunity is available to you now. A word of caution: Jupiter really does enlarge whatever it touches. In this house, that could also be your physical self. This is an excellent time to open to new ways of caring for your body and health. You will become more aware of your physical needs and it’s best to invite new fitness protocols into your life.

Cancer (June 21-July 21): November finds you at a creative pinnacle with a group of planets in your 5th house of fun. If you are artistically inclined, take advantage of this moment and pursue innovative projects that turn you on. A connection from Neptune is particularly inspiring. If art isn’t your thing, this is a wonderful time to engage in recreational pursuits, including a well earned vacation with a loved one or a group of friends. It’s also a great time to initiate a new romance, as you are feeling you want to reconnect with your passion. A Full Moon early in the month can make that wish come true as it will trigger all the romance planets passing in your chart now. For once, this is a month to enjoy– so go out and do it!

Leo (July 22 – August 21): Beautifying your home is definitely on the calendar this month as Venus and the Sun join Jupiter in your residential sector. You may be tempted to splurge wildly on some decorative new items that bring a fresh sparkle to your house. Any improvements or large additions to the home can also be easily accomplished now. Since Jupiter is a spiritual planet, it may be in your best interest to look into some Feng Shui techniques or have a consultation, as this is a time of expansion and awareness in your home. Knowing that our surrounding environment reflects our inner world, you can take this as an affirmation that you are recreating yourself. Your deepest sense of spirit is being restored in a profound way.

Flower/Herb to Seek Out This Month: Dahlias, Delphinium, Mums, Lemon Leaf, Amaranth

Virgo (August 22 – September 21): In November, your ruler Mercury spends most of the month out of bounds, expressing itself on many different levels. During this time you can tap into your unique genius and turn out a multitude of creative ideas, nurturing them from seed to blossom. This is the preferable and most positive use of Mercury’s energy. On the other hand, you could recoil and become fussier and more pedantic, irritating yourself and everyone in your close environment. Chances are good that you’ll experience both of these personalities. Your best bet is to stay very self-aware this month, review your options and choose the high road.

Libra (September 22 – October 22): You’re feeling uncharacteristically punchy this month as Mars visits your sign and makes challenge to Pluto in your family sector. Pressure in the family or home can lead to disputes. Despite your ongoing desire to never make waves, in November you may find yourself drawn into conflict as you can be easily set off. The good news is that at work, you are feeling great. Neptune turns direct in your 6th house, making lovely aspects to the Sun, Venus, and Jupiter in your house of finance. A great time to trust your creative instincts, show your talents, and ask for greater remuneration. If you are not feeling acknowledged in the home front, channel this month’s powerful energies towards work and you will find great satisfaction.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 20): It’s a juicy month as Venus and Jupiter join in your sign for the entire time. This is the moment everybody desires, giving a boost to your sex life, your relationships, and your wallet. As your co-ruler Mars lurks in your 12th house, don’t be surprised if others around you regard you with envy as they watch you manifest all your wishes. While members of your sign do not usually reveal themselves to the waiting public, November is the month to allow the world to see the best parts of you and your talents. Turn your vulnerabilities into strengths and surprise everyone with your gifts.

Sagittarius (November 21 – December 20): Sagittarians will always say they’re an open book, but in November you may feel you need to keep some privacy in certain matters, especially your love life. The group of planets spending the month in your 12th house may answer your prayers for a secret lover or renew your faith in a long-forgotten romance. With Saturn still in your sign for a few more weeks, you are handling such delicate matters with great caution, which is wise. Despite an urge to blabber about whatever’s striking your momentary fancy, this is one time when you need to not disperse the energy of a situation. It’s amazing how good it can feel to keep something only to yourself and know it belongs to just you.

Capricorn (December 21 – January 19): Venus and the Sun join Jupiter in Scorpio in your house of friendships and communities, indicating it’s time to explore new social environments. This planetary grouping brings fresh energy to your recreational life which can encourage the forming of new relationships, including fervent connections. Passion is especially the case since these planets are all ruled by Pluto still traveling through your sign. Any new associations are going to bring you profound information about this ongoing transformation of your core self. Neptune’s direct motion in your 3rd house of communication can inspire you to be more open and accepting of different viewpoints in new people that you encounter.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18): A rare Venus-Jupiter conjunction in your 10th house brings a beautiful sparkle to your professional life. You tend to be a reluctant star, but these precious moments are few and it’s important to take advantage of them. If there are any creative projects you’ve been stalling on, now is the time to birth them, allow them to breathe and have a voice. Despite Pluto’s continued presence in your 12th house, you must dig deep into your soul and let your vulnerabilities surface. It’s easy to stay in your comfort zone, not risking your reputation, but then you wouldn’t be giving your best work and service to the world where it belongs.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20): Pisces are known for being visionaries, dreamers whose colorful ideas may or may not take root. Your ruling planet Neptune stations into direct motion in November, which can bring clarity to your vision and inspire you to pursue it wholeheartedly. With a lovely aspect from Jupiter newly in Scorpio (and Saturn still escorting you into the world at large,) you now have the passion and power to allow your creations to evolve into reality.  The most important action you can take now is to decide what, exactly, you want and which resources you need to achieve your goal.
