Scorpio Monthly Horoscope
By Dea
(October 23 - November 21)
The Sun is blazing a fiery trail through your sign until November 21, putting your desires and passion projects front and center. Enough focusing on other people—this month is prime time to prioritize Numero Uno. On September 9, expansive Jupiter began its 13-month journey through Libra and your twelfth house of rest, sacrifice and healing. You haven’t exactly been a ball of energy since then—in fact, you may be tired and foggy in ways that are quite out of character for you. This lower-key vibe WILL continue until October 10, 2017—and you’ll probably even learn to like it. So right now, a solar-powered boost is welcome!
One good reason to put yourself first, Scorpio? Fiery and assertive Mars will visit Aquarius from November 8-December 19, heating up your fourth house of home, family and emotional security. Your household could become a hotbed of holiday season stress if you aren’t careful. So don’t minimize the risks of offering the sleeper sofa to a demanding or difficult relative. People’s quirks are magnified when they’re your houseguests, and a “slightly irritating” tic could become grounds for a screaming match when said tic encroaches upon your sacred personal space. The same advice applies if you’re thinking of visiting family. Get a hotel or an Airbus, because you’ll soak up the stress like a sponge.
Relationships get their crowning moment on November 14, when a Taurus full moon—also a potent supermoon (www.astrostyle.com/supermoons)—illuminates your seventh house of committed partnerships and interpersonal affairs. This is a key opportunity to balance your relationships if things have been off-kilter. Single Scorpios could meet someone with long-term potential today. A budding attraction or a developing bond could also volley into official terrain. Be honest and straight forward, no hints or bull just upfront truth. No need to be cruel or rude, just speak from the heart. Full moons can also bring endings and transitions, so for some, this lunation could herald a parting of ways. Whatever the case, the line is clear: You’re either in or you’re out.
Drama that’s been brewing since mid-June starts to die down on November 19, when hazy Neptune ends a five-month retrograde through Pisces and your flamboyant, lusty fifth house. A passionate connection may have gone off the rails, or driven you crazy with mixed messages and come-here-now-go-away changes. Now, Neptune resumes direct (forward) motion. If you need to express yourself, you’ll be able to in a less reactionary or inflammatory way.
Further stability arrives on November 21, when the Sun enters Sagittarius and your grounded second house for a month. The Sun here helps outline your priorities. You might take a macro look at your weekly calendar. It’s time to scale back. The interruptions add up—so take command and carve out ample, non-negotiable time to work on your dreams.
Thanksgiving Day alert! If you’re in the U.S., November 24 is supposed to be a time of gathering with loved ones to bond and binge, but this year’s star map comes with a warning label. Your ruler, calculating Pluto, will form a tense square to magnifier Jupiter, which could bring a major conflict or a passive-aggressive meltdown. Secretive Pluto is in your communication sector, while outspoken Jupiter is in your twelfth house of hidden agendas. Under these caustic skies, you could get a rising sense that something is “off” or even being kept from you.
Ruler: Pluto, the master of mystical transformations and hidden powers
Your gifts: spot-on intuition, fierce loyalty, resourcefulness, and creative genius
Your issues: suspicion, guardedness, and addiction, obsessing
Your saving grace: your keen ability to read people's needs and pre-empt them
Your path: to guide people through their fears, secrets, and taboos in order to cause a transformation
Love 'em: Taurus, Capricorn
Notsomuch: Aquarius, Aries
Sagittarius Astrological Profile
(November 22 - December 21)
Power down, Sagittarius. The Sun is making its annual sojourn through Scorpio and your twelfth house of rest, healing and closure. Until November 21, take things at a slower pace, giving you space to rest, meditate and unwind. You may be foggy and unfocused, perhaps processing some heavier emotions or dealing with fatigue as a long year winds down Election season alone was enough to do an Archer in—but the first three weeks of November could feel like you’re constantly struggling to keep up. Limit how much you take on now—and don’t feel an ounce of guilt saying no.
There’s one day where you’ll feel a surge of get-‘er-done energy, so take advantage. On November 14, the Taurus full moon—also a potent supermoon beams into your sixth house of health, wellness and organization. You might do a giant decluttering or tackle all the stuff you’ve allowed to pile up: overdue doctor’s appointments, receipts and bill stubs, last season’s needs-to-be-stored wardrobe.
The spotlight also shines on your wellbeing today. If your fitness has lapsed during this busy year, la Luna inspires you to take it on. You may even get a nudge from your doctor to cut down stress, change your eating habits or exercise more. Sagittarians are known for their appetites—Jupiter, god of the feast, rules you after all. Try filling at least 50 percent of your plate with veggies (dark, leafy greens or cruciferous ones if you can), and eating a healthy snack before heading to parties or for holiday shopping.
