NOVEMBER HORSCOPES.
Scorpio - 22 October to 21st November
November is a month of increased confidence and initiative for you. You feel good and it shows! Your confident nature this month rubs off on other people and they may follow your lead. It’s an excellent month in which to present your ideas, state your case, so if you have something to say about anything then just go for it! You may upset someone, but if they are truly a friend then they’ll listen. Besides, you don’t really care, do you…? Don’t let your confident month get the better of you though, you must make sure you keep up to date with paperwork, emails and many other mundane tasks. Boring, I know, but it’ll pay off later on. Once you get to grips with this and your daily life is going smoothly you should be able to look at those career choices/plans you have on offer. Have a think and see how you feel. You may also find that if you’re organised enough you may get owed money returned! Won’t that be nice?
Sagittarius - 22 November to 21st December
Your career, family and personal finances are the focus of the month for you. However, don’t think anything good comes for free! The first few weeks of the month could involve some sacrifices and rethinking of your plans. Gather your resources for the weeks ahead and get done what needs doing. Don’t moan about it, your friends don’t want to hear you complaining. In fact they are more likely to help you if you look at things in an optimistic way. Yes, that’s what I said – optimistic! The last week of the month is extremely busy, which is a pay off for earlier in the month. You are willingly taking the lead and others have your best interests at heart. A lover or partner is paying a lot of attention to you, and it feels fabulous. Don’t muck it up!
Capricorn - 22 December to 21st January
Here comes another month where you may wonder if you are a Capricorn at all !Expansion, confidence, and hopefulness are keywords for November. You are feeling good about yourself and confident about your future. A romantic revelation occurs around the Full Moon on the 13th. Just let this romance envelop you and allow yourself to go with the flow. You don’t need to analyse it or try to make sense of it. It just is, so leave it be! Venus in your chart at the moment makes it ridiculously easy than ever to attract exactly what and who you want during this cycle, but then you never did have any worries about that The only confusion you’ll have this month is to do with money or things you own. Don’t know how, what, where or why, but you have to have something in your life to confuse you. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be you!
Aquarius - 22 January to 21st February
Business and public affairs continue to play a big role in your life in November, but the pressures and over-activity in these areas you encountered last month begin to dissipate. As a result, you’re more likely to enjoy your increased exposure and recognition on a professional level. Increased responsibilities continue to be an issue in your life, but you feel more in control. Love this month is rather business-like as well, or could be found through professional contacts. Friends and group activities are strong in the last week. I don’t necessarily suggest that this means you are allowed to treat yourself by going out and getting trashed by the way! However, who’s to stop you? I’m not!
Pisces - 22nd Feb to 21st March
Adventure, adventure adventure! What can we do this month? Well, we can start by clearing up any relationship issues right at the beginning of the month! I know you don’t like shouting, so luckily you won’t have to. However, you will have to think things through first. I don’t mean that you should go away and write a speech and rehearse it. That will just sound fake. You must be honest and not worry about hurting anyone’s feelings. If you do it right then you won’t. It’s easy, just sit down and talk as if you were the best friends in the whole world, which I’m sure you already are and have a chat. Sitck in a few jokes if you like. You always manage to make a good joke which has just the right amount of sensitivity. The last week of the month is outstanding for work, money, and career. Huraah!
Aries - 22nd March to 21st April
What are the two things that most people have the most trouble dealing with in their lives?
Yep, money and relationships!
Bills, balancing the books, when do I next get paid?! Food shopping, I forgot, I have to get that book for college! Boring boring boring!
Am I going to give you some good news? Well, yes….and no! I can’t say that your month will be wonderful, but what I can say is that you have the ability to make it wonderful. Start a project, finish a project, whatever! Spend time with friends and throw some ideas around. Think about your future. You’ll find something that will make your month!
Taurus - 22nd April to 21st May
You are in a bit of a tug of war situation this month. Someone wants you to do this, and someone else wants you to do that. Then your Mum phones for something! How do you divide your time? Your partner, your children ( if you have them ) your family or your friends. Well, you can’t do everything, there’s only one of you. You hate upsetting people, but you’ll have to disappoint someone. Whatever you do just be honest and let the people know that you have organized you days and you can do what they need you to do on … day.
The full moon is in your sign this month which brings with it some emotions and desires that may feel a little strange to you. It’s a good thing though as it could bring about lots of romance towards the last weeks of the month. Also, some good news on the 30th? Maybe…
Gemini - 22nd May to 21st June
Your relationships take on a new light this month. They will be more dynamic and dramatic. Don’t panic, drama can be good too! Renewed intimacy could do wonders for you and your partner. Too much work and schedules and papers to mark etc….. take some time out, just a bit and enjoy yourselves ( wink wink ). Added that bit just so you guys know it is actually me writing these things!
Work is still a focus, but you have overcome the initial panic and disorganization last month brought with it. If you have family connections with property you could see a return on an investment. Mmm!
Cancer - 22nd June to 21st July
Well, what’s in store for me and the rest of the cancerian race this month? Let’s see….
Romance, ok good, I just got married so that’s promising! Play time, hah ha! Creativity. I can’t speak for myself here as I don’t actually have a creative bone in my body, but many cancerians do so this month use it! Indulge in your hobbies, or if you are lucky enough to actually be employed by doing your hobbie then all the better! Lucky you! You have oodles of charm this month and you can’t resist but to help a friend in need. This time they actually want you to help though so don’t feel like you’re pushing them too hard. Around the full moon you may feel restless, not a surprise really. It did say it was play time this month though, so go get rid of that restlessness and let rip! I wouldn’t normally suggest going out partying as the solution to everything, but it could do you the world of good. If, like me you love to dance then going out would be the perfect option to release some tension. The exercise wouldn’t hurt either!
Leo - 22nd July to 21st august
Ok, you’re going to hate me in November! Not a productive month really and most of it is going to be spent either at home or doing things to do with home. It’s only in preparation for the coming months and if you don’t do it then you’ll only regret it later when you wished you’d done it already! Of course, no can make you, I’m just saying…
You get some fun with the full moon though, you get to defend your reputation. I know you don’t like living off a rep or using your past to boost your kudos, but this is one time you need to. It won’t be in a bad way, you just need to big yourself up to the right people at the right time to get what you know you really need. It will work out and your life will be better for it. Don’t be afraid to call in some resources either.
Virgo - 22nd August to 21st September
Venus is in your fellow earth sign of Capricorn this month and the effects are no different for you on the romance side of things. You’ll have no problem getting your way and you’ll be the wonderful charming and persuasive Virgo we all know you can be. This may make you a little too big for your boots, which could distort your perspective a little. If you think a partner is being a little irresponsible or erratic this month, try and sit back. They probably aren’t really, and it’s not as if you’ve never done an irresponsible thing in your life!
Libra - 22 September to 21st October
Did you overspend last month? Feeling a bit sore? Well can’t be helped, but you know that you have a lot of work to do to get back on track this month. Perhaps asking for a raise isn’t the way to go, but you work out a budget or find some new ways to boost your income. The 10-12th is best for this, just before the full moon. Keep yourself cool , organised and positive and you’ll be fine. You might find that towards the end of the month you feel like learning something new. That’s great, go ahead. Start a course or join a club. It could be just what you need to help keep you focused on money saving for the month. You are allowed to spend, just make sure you have it to spend first.

Some basic info on horoscopes to help you decipher our ramblings:
A horoscope is created by using the person's Sun Sign. This is the sign that the Sun was in when they were born. It is a representation of the outward personality that they put out for other people to see. It is, if you like, the first impression you see of someone. It is calculated on a monthly, weekly or daily basis depending on which site or paper you read. The horoscope is only a fraction of that person as there are many more things to take into consideration, such as the Moon and the Planets that were in the sky when someone was born. It is a very complex system and takes much more than horoscopes to fully understand it and recognize yourself.
However, a horoscope cast by a professional astrologer can be a very useful tool in helping someone follow their life path. Alternatively it can be just a bit of fun that keeps people interested in their own life and the stars. I prefer the bit of fun as it is very difficult to cast a horoscope for each sign accurately as there are so many people in each sign.
Evolved and Base
There are typically 2 types of each sign. The base and the evolved. There is no judgement of good or bad here, but we can use each sign to elevate ourselves intellectually, spiritually and emotionally. Alternatively we may fail to live up to the highest potential of our sign or create struggles and unnecessary challenges.
Qualities
The qualities in Astrology are Cardinal, Fixed and Common (sometimes referred to as Mutable)
Cardinal – inaugurating, pioneering quality
Fixed – fixed established quality
Common – Adaptable quality
Elements
The Elements in Astrology are Fire, Earth, Air and Water
Fire - Bold and fiery, moving and fast
Earth - practical and down to earth
Air - intellectual and emotionally detached
Water - emotional and moody
Gender
There are two genders in Astrology. Masculine and Feminine.
Masculine - radiating outward, active, aggressive, solid, dry and light in colour
Feminine - receptive, passive, dark, moist (don’t laugh!) radiating inward
