Editor’s Note: My horoscopes are for my readers around the world. While a majority of you are located in North America, I read your emails from all the other continents. This is for you as well.
November is that doorway between seasons… whether you’re stepping into crisp autumn evenings or bright spring mornings. The holiday energy is stirring across the globe, and the cosmos is giving us both sparkle and caution. We get a Full Moon in Taurus (Nov 5), a Last Quarter Moon (Nov 11–12), a deep New Moon in Scorpio (Nov 20), and a First Quarter Moon (Nov 28). Mercury goes retrograde (Nov 9–29), so expect mix-ups with plans, travel, and tech.
This month isn’t about doing it all… it’s about choosing what feels joyful and skipping the rest.
♈ Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
The Full Moon in Taurus (Nov 5) shines on what comforts you. Maybe you’ve been spending too much energy on things that don’t actually fuel you. Mercury retrograde (Nov 9–29) could scramble travel or holiday plans, so have backups ready. By the New Moon in Scorpio (Nov 20), you’ll feel ready to reset relationships—who’s in your corner and who drains you.
Tip for joy: If you’re in autumn, slow down with warm drinks and candlelight. If you’re in spring, stretch out with fresh air and color. And if you can’t physically be with loved ones, bring them in—share a playlist, a meal over video, or a silly meme.
♉ Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
This month begins with the Full Moon in your sign (Nov 5). It’s your spotlight moment… what do you want to celebrate, and what do you want to release? Uranus retrograde in Taurus (Nov 7) shakes up routines, so flexibility is key. The Scorpio New Moon (Nov 20) helps you reset connections—whether romantic or friendships, balance matters.
Tip for joy: In autumn, let cozy textures ground you (blankets, soups, spices). In spring, lean into gardens and blossoms. If distance keeps you apart, send a comfort gift (even a favorite snack) to remind someone you care.
♊ Gemini (May 21 – Jun 20)
The Full Moon (Nov 5) asks you to release old worries, especially ones you keep locked away. Mercury retrograde (your ruling planet) means double-checking all communication. The New Moon in Scorpio (Nov 20) highlights your health and daily rhythm—small shifts can make a big difference.
Tip for joy: Vision boards are your thing right now… cut, paste, imagine. Autumn Geminis might love evenings with journals and lamps, while spring Geminis may thrive on bright walks with headphones and a podcast.
♋ Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)
The Full Moon (Nov 5) tugs at your emotional world—family, chosen family, the people who anchor you. The Last Quarter Moon (Nov 11–12) asks you to assess where you’ve given too much. The New Moon in Scorpio (Nov 20) reminds you: joy comes when you create safe spaces, not when you force yourself to show up everywhere.
Tip for joy: Build rituals with sensory comfort—candles, soft fabrics, familiar flavors. In autumn, embrace nesting. In spring, let fresh air and blooming scents feed you.
♌ Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
The Full Moon in Taurus (Nov 5) lights up your career or public image. You may feel recognized… or pressured. Mercury retrograde could complicate plans for events, but it’s also a good time to slow down. By the Scorpio New Moon (Nov 20), you’re drawn inward—reflect on how intimacy and vulnerability shape your joy.
Tip for joy: If holiday gatherings feel heavy, create smaller ones. Autumn Lions glow in golden rooms, while spring Lions sparkle under outdoor sun. If you can’t host in person, share your light online—your creativity uplifts others.
♍ Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
The Full Moon (Nov 5) highlights your beliefs and learning. What stories do you tell yourself that no longer fit? Mercury retrograde may bring back old habits, but the New Moon (Nov 20) invites you to simplify and protect your well-being.
Tip for joy: Plan small breaks. Autumn Virgos, let falling leaves remind you to let go. Spring Virgos, let blossoms remind you growth is messy but beautiful. Use little rituals—tea, lists, stretches—to reset daily.
♎ Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Relationships are your classroom this month. The Full Moon (Nov 5) reveals dynamics around trust and boundaries. Mercury retrograde may stir old arguments, so tread gently. The Scorpio New Moon (Nov 20) helps you rebuild balance—especially around money and energy exchange.
Tip for joy: Connection is medicine. If you can’t be physically there, share voice notes, letters, or videos. Autumn Libras: cozy up with friends indoors. Spring Libras: share moments outside.
♏ Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
This is your season. The Full Moon (Nov 5) shines on partnerships—who stands with you, who doesn’t. Uranus retrograde (Nov 7) might shake up relationships further. Mercury retrograde adds some tension, but the New Moon (Nov 20) is all yours: a reset for identity, intimacy, and power.
Tip for joy: Rituals suit you—journaling, candlelight, baths. Autumn Scorpios: embrace the quiet of longer nights. Spring Scorpios: let sunlight highlight your new beginnings.
♐ Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
The Full Moon (Nov 5) reminds you to balance rest and busyness. Mercury retrograde begins in your sign (Nov 9), so expect crossed wires, delays, and second chances. When the Sun moves into Sagittarius (around Nov 22), you’ll feel the glow return. The New Moon (Nov 20) invites you to release old fears before your birthday season begins.
Tip for joy: If you can’t travel, create mini adventures—books, food, music from other places. Autumn Archers: reflect with warm drinks. Spring Archers: explore outdoors.
♑ Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
The Full Moon (Nov 5) highlights your community—are you giving to the right people? The Last Quarter Moon (Nov 11–12) helps you release obligations that weigh too much. The Scorpio New Moon (Nov 20) is about long-term goals—reset your vision, especially around who’s supporting you.
Tip for joy: Autumn Caps, savor cozy gatherings with trusted few. Spring Caps, let new projects energize you. Remember: even leaders need breaks.
♒ Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
The Full Moon (Nov 5) puts your focus on career and responsibilities. Mercury retrograde could confuse plans with authority figures, so speak clearly. The Scorpio New Moon (Nov 20) asks: how do you want to be seen in the world? This isn’t about dominance (that’s Scorpio’s thing)… it’s about impact and contribution.
Tip for joy: Autumn Aquarians: reflect indoors with journals or music. Spring Aquarians: connect with groups in fresh settings. If showing up physically is tough, share your ideas online—your voice carries far.
♓ Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
The Full Moon (Nov 5) stirs your spiritual and learning side—maybe you’re craving meaning. Mercury retrograde could blur boundaries, but it also helps you revisit old dreams. The New Moon (Nov 20) invites transformation—especially around intimacy and self-belief.
Tip for joy: Autumn Pisces, retreat with candles and soft music. Spring Pisces, swim toward fresh creative outlets. If you can’t be “out there,” bring it in—through art, movies, or dream journaling.
🌌 Final Word
November asks us to gather joy without burnout. The Full Moon lights what comforts us, Mercury Retrograde slows our pace, and the New Moon invites depth. Whether you’re sipping pumpkin lattes in autumn or blooming in spring, the cosmos says: reach for joy… and let it come to you if you can’t go to it.
