Your November 2023 Horoscope Is Equal Parts Motivating & Fun

It’s Scorpio season, which means that everything is much deeper than it seems. That harmless crush you have? Suddenly a full-blown obsession after a couple late-night DMs. That promise you made to yourself to cut back on coffee for a week? You googled the pros and cons and decided to cut it off for good. All in all, your November 2023 horoscope may have you swinging from one fixation to the next, but it won’t be without its fun moments. In fact, by Sagittarius season, the mood of the month lightens, allowing you to mellow out just in time for Thanksgiving.

The Most Important Astrological Dates To Put In Your Calendar This November

• Nov. 13: Scorpio new moon
• Nov. 17: Sun-Mars cazimi in Scorpio
• Nov. 22: Sagittarius season begins
• Nov. 27: Gemini full moon

November 2023’s Astrological Overview Begins Gradually

The first major event of the month takes place on Nov. 13, as the sun and moon link up in the fixed water sign of Scorpio. Though this new moon won’t be an eclipse, it will still spotlight some intense emotions since it’s ruled by Mars, which is also currently in its home sign of Scorpio. With an overwhelming presence of planets in the Scorpio-ruled house of every sign’s birth chart, there will be a strong desire to exercise determination, resilience, and self-control during this new moon. You may find yourself investing much of your time and energy into a plan or project that requires your unwavering focus and motivates you to dive in deep.

However, since the moon is considered to be in the sign of its fall, there may be a fear-based mindset co-existing with your fixated efforts. As you pursue new endeavors, make sure you’re not operating from a scarcity mindset or neglecting your innate needs. Accomplishing a goal shouldn’t require you to put your body or emotions on the back-burner.

On Nov. 17, the sun and Mars will meet at 25 degrees of Scorpio, creating a cazimi. A cazimi happens when a planet exactly conjoins the sun, which is said to be a period of renewal and rejuvenation for the planet in question. Mars cazimis take place every two years, and they signify a surge in motivation, momentum, and focus. This is especially relevant this year, since Mars is in its home sign. The last time a sun-Mars cazimi took place in Scorpio was in 1991, so you can expect the clarity around the goals and pursuits tied to the Scorpio-ruled house in your birth chart to be pretty impactful over the next two years.

The sun shifts into the buoyant, adventurous sign of Sagittarius by Nov. 22, pivoting the collective’s focal point to freedom, hope, and increased wisdom. As the mutable fire sign ruled by Jupiter, Sagittarius season promotes an abundance mindset and the desire to know and experience all that life has to offer. Instead of moving with slow, deliberate caution, there will be a surge in spontaneous behaviors that enlighten and inspire. If you’ve been weighed down by the heaviness that tends to come along with Scorpio season, expect to feel a strong sense of excitement and liberation as this season unfolds. Radical honesty also tends to be a symptom of Sagittarius season, so be mindful of the messages you choose to share. You may be more prone to speaking prematurely.

The month closes with a full moon in the curious, conversational sign of Gemini on Nov. 27, shedding light on unanswered questions and detailed discoveries. On this day, the desire to gain more information and insight on a particular topic will be illuminated. You may also come to find that you still have plenty to learn about a specific interest or concern, prompting you to research and educate yourself. Since Mercury’s the ruler of this full moon, it’ll be a useful time to engage in discussions with your peers. Remain teachable and open-minded so you’re able to walk away with a valuable shift in perspective.

Here’s what each zodiac sign can expect from November’s astrology:

Aries Zodiac Signs (March 21 - April 19)

November begins with you doing a deep-dive into your shared resources, assets, and responsibilities, particularly during the Scorpio new moon on Nov. 13. As this new moon unfolds, you’ll be setting your sights on a new endeavor regarding your financial affairs.

As this new chapter unfolds, you may be inclined to tighten your belt when it comes to what you’re investing in, but your selectivity promises to pay off in the long-run.

On Nov. 17, the sun and Mars, your chart ruler, conjoin in your eighth house, prompting the start of a powerful new beginning regarding your current obligations. New pursuits that revolve around investments are likely to ensue now, inviting you to make well-thought out decisions regarding your time, money, and energy. As the Mars-ruled fire sign of the zodiac, you tend to prefer to strike while the iron’s hot, but this transit invites you to slow down, and make financial decisions with caution. If you’ve been craving more security in this area, this transit is incredibly useful for increasing the self-discipline needed in order to achieve this.

You’ll be shifting your focus to adventurous new travels and experiences as the sun shifts into the hopeful sign of Sagittarius.

On Nov. 27, the Gemini full moon illuminates the thoughts, concepts, and ideas you’ve been ruminating over. Today, you’ll realize that much of the enlightenment that you’ve been craving is present in your immediate surroundings, through engaging in discussions with friends or relatives, or through exploring the nooks and crannies of your own neighborhood. Now, you won’t have to venture too far for mental stimulation, Aries. It exists all around you.

Taurus Zodiac Signs (April 19 - May 21)

Your romantic relationships and partnerships are a primary focus this month, and the Scorpio new moon on Nov. 13 ushers in new beginnings in this area. When it comes to your love affairs, you tend to move with slow, deliberate caution, and while this new moon signifies an opportunity to get closer to a special someone, you’ll still be hesitant to let your guard down. While you may be less forthcoming with your emotions, it’s a fortunate day for engaging in intimate encounters with others, Taurus. In order to receive the deep connections you crave, you’ll have to let others get close to you.

The sun and Mars conjoin in your seventh house of relationships by Nov. 17, resetting the ways you connect with others.

When Mars is in Scorpio, action tends to speak louder than words.

On Nov. 22, the sun shifts into the free-spirited sign of Sagittarius, shifting your focus to your intimate affairs, shared resources, and financial duties.

Either way, you’ll be feeling hopeful when it comes to what the future holds for your expenses.

As the month comes to a close, the Gemini full moon on Nov. 27 sheds light on the current state of your money, budget, and earnings. This full moon inspires you to get curious about your funds: are you satisfied with what you’re currently investing in? If not, how can you make the most of what’s currently in your possession? The solution may be as simple as a perspective shift, or an adjustment in your spending habits. Regardless of the changes you choose to make, your light-hearted mindset regarding this area of life will help you navigate these shifts with ease.
