Horoscopes: your stars

Scorpio Oct 24-Nov 22

It is time to gratefully receive what someone has to give. A new beginning in your personal life is possible, but you have to work for it. Stunning potential is not enough, so try to take a practical and hands-on approach to what is offered. There is a great deal of fake emotion in the world, but this is the real thing. As a water sign, you thirst for the deepest bonds with others. Now you are being given a chance to find exactly that. “Carpe diem,” as they said in Dead Poets Society. November could be pure poetry.

Sagittarius ● Nov 23-Dec 21

Sagittarians are great travellers and explorers. The time has come to take your leave of your physical or emotional environment for a few days or maybe even weeks. When you do this, you will find a valuable new perspective on a situation which affects you emotionally. The Moon’s cycle has an impact near November 4 and 18 as it enters the most solitary and private part of your horoscope. The bonds you have found with others are precious, but you also need to put some distance between yourself and certain people. When you return, it may be with a welcome new approach.

Capricorn ● Dec 22-Jan 20

Your household or family has reached a stage where the money or property adds up. You are all in an excellent financial situation now. There is a remedy near November 15 which may even seem like a miracle, thanks to an unusual line-up in your horoscope. What matters even more than security, though, is freedom. You all need space. You will need to put a price on independence and individuality. You are united by a bank account, house, apartment or business, but beyond that, you all need to go your own way.

Aquarius ● Jan 21-Feb 19

There is always a point at which you need to decide if you are going to rebuild or walk away. If you rebuild, you can achieve great things with enough effort and opportunity. If you walk away, you can start something new and discover how much is possible. Much depends on what and whom you value most. November will reveal what matters and what does not. This is a gift, despite the changes you must make. This is an intense month, but you will find out who you are, what you want and what you need. Time to act.

Pisces ● Feb 20-Mar 20

Spending time alone this month will help you find what you are looking for. Pisceans are spiritual people who sometimes need to find solitude in peace and quiet, so they can honour their soul. You may be looking for a breakthrough involving religion, meditation, astrology or your personal philosophy. The Node moving through your horoscope describes karma and past life experience. Perhaps it is time to remember a lifetime when you were a monk, nun, hermit or recluse. When you return to the real world, you will feel wonderful.

Aries ● Mar 21-Apr 21

You will be happily satisfied with the large number of precious relationships in your life now. Each one is like a trophy, but it is also important that you see people as individuals. With care and maintenance, you can attend to each person in turn, as an individual, and enjoy more together. You are lucky to have this tribe or clan behind you. To continue your good fortune, you will need to perform some relationship upkeep. One person needs immediate attention. Look and you will see why. Act now.

Taurus ● Apr 22-May 21

There is hard work to be done this month as the dead wood must be cut away if things are to grow as they should. This means a moment of truth when people must decide if they are going to co-operate or not. Together, you can do a great deal if you are prepared to be practical. If you find yourself at odds with someone, think carefully about the stakes. November is a month when decisions cannot be unmade, so it is crucial that both sides negotiate fully. There will be a great deal of chopping and changing if you both go ahead.

Gemini ● May 22-Jun 22

Friends who feel like family members or family members who are also friends will join together with you this month in celebration. This may be a group project that finds stunning success, or a reunion, holiday or wedding. People power is the key and although you are all very different people who need your own space, it is also true that, together, you can attract good things. Work with the chemistry you share in a deeper way, as this happy chapter could be the start of something new. Think about how you can all grow as a group.

Cancer ● Jun 23-Jul 23

With promising patterns in the money and property zones of your horoscope, it is time to act. You may be living in a world of imagination or guesswork at the moment, which is confusing you and making it hard to act. The potential of a house, apartment, income source or precious asset is rich. However, nothing will happen until you get rid of some fears, which are groundless. Instead, reach for what you could realistically make part of your world. It is waiting for you as a result of good karma from your past, Cancer. Make it so.

Leo ● Jul 24-Aug 23

The Full Moon on November 4 will give you an important decision to make about what (or who) to cut out of your life. The New Moon on November 18 will point you in a different direction as a result. There is no point in changing unless you can see the situation clearly, though. To do this, you will need to wait for the right timing, when you are in the strongest position to quickly remove whatever has been blinding you to two important issues. Only then can you take strong action and move forward.

Virgo ● Aug 24-Sep 23

You must decide what to do about your former, current or potential partner this month. A volcano of emotion or passion is building and once the asteroid Vulcano changes signs on the 30th, it is time to be honest about buried feelings. Your attention will now go on new potential lovers, commitment questions, engagement, separation or other milestones you experience with that special man (or woman) in your life. This is not only about the head, nor about the heart – it is about your sexuality. It is time for both of you to banish the confusion and to communicate clearly with each other.

Libra ● Sep 24-Oct 23

To enjoy a brilliant fresh chapter in your life, you must accept the end of the old and the start of the new. It may take some time to adjust and adapt, but once you have let go and moved forward, the future looks bright. Accepting a natural and avoidable change is helpful because there is nothing to be gained from hanging onto the past. A different world is waiting for you and if you take the attitude of an explorer, always being ready for the next adventure, November will turn your life around. A younger generation or the family will also be involved.
