Libra, November 2016

On November 5, your ruling planet, Venus, will connect with Uranus! This is very exciting: Venus is currently in fun, philosophical Fire sign Sagittarius, helping you communicate kindly and effectively with others. Electric Uranus, the rebel of the zodiac, is in courageous Fire sign Aries, bringing surprises to your partnerships. When these planets connect on November 5, the energy will be enthusiastic and spontaneous, curing you of any boredom you've been dealing with.

Watch out for an unexpected phone call or accidental run-in on this date (but don't worry—because sweet Venus is involved, you won't run into someone totally terrible!). Surprising news is coming your way, and so are plenty of breakthroughs. Do you have a crush you don't know how to deal with? Are you confused about how to level with a potential business partner? No matter the relationship, Venus and Uranus will help inspire a positive, exciting way to work with your partners or to understand them.

Mars will enter fellow Air sign Aquarius on November 9, which will ignite the romance and creativity sector of your chart. Air signs love to socialize; with warrior planet Mars in friendly Aquarius, you're going to make it your mission to have as much fun as possible. Expect a huge boost in energy around finishing any creative projects you have, and also expect Mars to light the fire around romance. Because you're the sign of intelligence and beauty, people are always attracted to you, Libra, but you'll be especially enthralling during this time!

On November 11, your ruling planet, Venus, enters Capricorn, which will be huge shift from its time in free-spirited Sagittarius. Sagittarius is a sign that hates being tied down, whereas Capricorn absolutely loves it (I mean this in both the kinky and practical way). Sagittarius wants to travel, explore, and stay up all night. Capricorn cares deeply about material success, climbing the corporate ladder, and creating a legacy. Sagittarius is known for being flexible; Capricorn is known for being bitchy and bossy.

You will shift your focus from flirting and connecting to settling down and nesting when Venus leaves Sag and enters Capricorn. Issues concerning security and safety will be on your mind. If you've been eager to move in with a partner, Venus in Capricorn will find you focusing heavily on this issue. You'll also feel moved to redecorate or beautify your home in some way. Connecting with family will also be on your mind with Venus in Capricorn.

Capricorn is associated with the Devil card in the tarot, and while Capricorn has a big reputation for being a workaholic, it's really just a lusty old goat. The Devil is all about sex, drugs, and rock and roll, and it isn't afraid of whips or chains: Being a little bad is recommended while Venus is in Capricorn—as long as you're being safe about it.

We have a full moon in Taurus on November 14, which will illuminate a very sensitive, psychic sector of your chart. Pay close attention to your intuition during this time—you'll be seeing things on a much deeper level. You won't have words to express much of what you learn today, so use art to help you process your feelings and reactions.

This is a big full moon for you around finances, especially involving complicated issues like debts, taxes, or inheritances. Full moons are always emotional and exhausting, and you'll be especially sensitive about finances at this time. If you have a spiritual practice, this is a lovely time to meditate on money or to do some spell work around releasing your issues around cash.

This is also a very potent full moon concerning sex and intimacy. Taurus is an Earth sign, very sensual and very present: Sit and meditate naked with a lover to celebrate. Full moons illuminate issues and push us to confront them for the sake of finding balance—expect to gain a deeper understanding of those you're close to by the time this full moon is over!

Mercury enters Sagittarius on November 12, followed by the Sun on November 21. This will be a very mentally active time for you! Lots of e-mails and phone calls will be coming in. This is a great time to network and gather information. If you're working on a bunch of paperwork or if you're a writer, this will be an opportune time for you to get a lot of work done!

Late November is going to be super intense for you, Libra! Not only will Jupiter—which is in your sign—clash with Pluto, but your ruling planet, Venus, will also meet with Pluto! Pluto is the lord of the underworld, so you can bet shit's going to get real.

Jupiter is the planet of luck and abundance, so having it in your sign is fucking awesome—you're going to kill it over the next few months. Luck is on your side, and you're going through a spiritual growth spurt. But Jupiter does have its dark side: It overdoes and exaggerates everything. Combine this energy with that of the lord of the underworld, Pluto, and things will get very intense very quickly. Pluto isn't all bad—it rules death and rebirth, and it's all about transformation. It's currently in grounded Earth sign Capricorn, helping you redefine what home and family means to you. But on November 24, you're going to get a huge wakeup call about the power dynamics you're living with. It's time for things to change!

Perhaps it's time to move or to cut off that relative who dictates what you can and can't do. You've grown a lot, Libra. If you're not making the changes within your private life to accommodate the new you, you can bet the clash between Jupiter and Pluto will be stressful as hell. I don't want you to throw out your baby blanket or to tell your parents to go fuck themselves. I want you to have new ways of feeling safe and secure, as well as a safe space to hide away from people when you need it. Your ruling planet, Venus, will be in Capricorn at this time, helping to facilitate this change.

You may feel like your boundaries are being crossed. Pluto is shady, obsessive, and manipulative, and when it's combined with Jupiter's bloated, over-consumptive vibe, the energy can feel very yucky—like someone just sneezed all over you. Be firm about your limits, Libra.

The month wraps up with a new moon in Sagittarius on November 29, helping you think about things in a new way. Watch out for important, special messages during this new moon. Reconnecting with your siblings is a wonderful way to use this new moon's energy, as is going out and exploring your local neighborhood. Drop into a cafe or bar that's near you but that you've never given a change— Sagittarius is the explorer of the zodiac, so start exploring!

Honor this new moon in Sagittarius by setting a new goal. Sagittarius loves having a target it can aim for. Sagittarius is an optimistic, energetic sign. Even though this month's Jupiter/Pluto square is brutal, I think you will end November feeling like any problem can be solved. See you in December, Libra!
