Everyone’s got something new and something old to deal with this month—new opportunities, old people or vice-versa. So, it seemed like a good idea to have another little look at romance. Check back to the last bumper edition for more insight.
* for entertainment purposes.
Scorpio
Balance those emotions and a sense of peace will spread to all areas of your life.
November begins with a need to seek balance, especially in communication and your mental processes. So, if you want your pitch to win over that of the most-annoying-guy-from-the-office, you need to find the right words—and images. And hold off on those jokes as it’s quite likely that the person you’re pitching to has no sense of humour (at least, not one they care to share). Go for clarity, eloquence and good strategy instead, both at work and at home too. And, as always, listen!
Mid-month brings a sense of renewal and good judgement, especially in family matters and spiritual ones. Emotions may run high, particularly with other water signs, so it’s up to you to keep the calm and peace. Unexpected events may cause sudden happy changes if you manage things right when it comes to romance, proposals and birthday plans.
The month comes to an end with a new sense of balance and peace. Great spiritual growth is possible at this time. You may want to study a new language in preparation of long travels next year. Most of your projects will be nearing completion, if they haven’t already, and you’ll feel a great sense of accomplishment and joy.
Romance for singles: Not the best month to find love and romance at parties and socials as the object of your interest may prove to have a codependency on a substance, or could be obsessed with the need to hear wedding bells. Remain aloof until you get to know them better.
Romance for couples: It’s time to whisk your beloved away from the kids/family and go to a spa or on a romantic getaway. If the budget doesn’t stretch that far, pack a picnic basket (or a snack-pack) and take them for a romantic walk/hike/to the secret-spot-in-the-house (not the damp basement) and woo them like you did when you first met.
Sagittarius
A temptation from the past tests your zest and growth for the future.
The month begins on a playful note when new beginnings seem yours for the picking. The past is tempting you back (that sense of innocent and carefreeness) but you know that kind of life/love is no longer sustainable. Avoid moving backward; it doesn’t show you in your best light.
Mid-month brings some travel and a lot of passion. This could be a water-sign from your past, but do you really want to deal with all that drama again? Business or your career, too, could suffer if you don’t make the right decisions in love now. Concentrate on those new opportunities, and plan your trips with a firm eye on the future.
November comes to a close with what looks like a test for you. You’ll have to be stronger still and remain true to your beliefs and to yourself. Home-life may bring some discontent, or a relocation. Renovations may have you wishing you were somewhere else. Think outside the box and don’t allow your ego to make excuses for inaction. Now’s the time to act and step into your future.
Romance for singles: Call your friend Scorpio for a consolatory dinner, it’s not the best time for romance. There may be some time apart from the object of your affection. Or this could be a time when you need to get to know yourself better so you can better recognise who, and what, you need in love.
Romance for couples: If you’ve been feeling disconnected from your beloved, now is the time to do something to let them know how you feel (a wee talk might be a good starting point), or make new plans with them to show your commitment to your combined happiness.
Capricorn
Don’t doubt your decisions. You’re on the right track.
November begins on a stable note, allaying concerns about money and employment. You’ll feel centred and back in charge of yourself (and your life), allowing your natural good humour and affection to shine through again. You’ll also find help (legal or other advice) from a Gemini or Libran friend. Be sure to regard your own thoughts, and research, when making major decisions.
Mid-month looks a little dreamy, but well-grounded. You may receive an early bonus or other windfall which will help you achieve one of your long-term dreams—an island adventure, or a spiritual retreat, perhaps? There’s lots of spiritual gifts coming your way as well. Be sure to rest, journal, and allow yourself some quiet time to integrate and expand your energies.
November comes to an end with some intense mental activity, and perhaps a few sleepless nights. Don’t allow anxiety to rule over any recent decisions you’ve made. Allow yourself to build or plant something new. Let your creativity rule instead. It’s the perfect time to start baking some holiday treats 🙂
Romance for singles: There’s loads of passion from someone who wants to woo you off your feet. They may not be the best dancer (clumsy even) but they sure know how to treat you well, and enjoy food as much as you do. Try a little playfulness and see how well they pick up your non sequitur.
Romance for couples: Whatever you’re hoping for is likely to come to you very soon. So, be very careful what you wish for romantically as you’re sure to get it sooner than expected. This includes additions to the family or you wanting more ‘space’. Make sure it’s really what you want and need for this time of year.
Aquarius
Woohoo Aquarius! This is your love month calling! And whatever the weather, it will feel like the sun’s shining just for you.
November begins like a rom-com with a brand new love relationship or a refurbished current/old one which feels like new (you know what I mean). It could well be someone from your past, or even from a past-life (if it’s a new love) or renewed ties and appreciation of your beloved. But however you meet up again (after an hour or even a decade), prepare for some goofy goings-on. Let your confidence see you through, and be someone’s sunshine.
Mid-month may feel a little bit of a downer after your previous emotional high. Take a good look around and you’ll see your world in a new light. There’s major changes afoot with no time for regrets (but plenty of second chances). You have the resources to follow your heart this month.
The month comes to a close with some much needed travel—an early vacation to destress before the holidays? Karma will be your close friend, so think positive, be positive, and do good. There’s good coming to you too (and possibly a new commitment) so it’s time to leave guilt and self-doubt behind.
Romance for singles: Karmic ties and relationships are highlighted for most. There’s lessons to be learned and lots of love to give and receive. For some, you could be meeting ‘the only one—possibly from another culture or upbringing.
Romance for couples: You’ll be swept away, either by your partner’s passion or by your passion for your partner. Time to take that weekend or two away. You’ll also find inspiration for your creativity from your love relationship. Best of all, you’ll be brimming with happy, fuzzy energy 🙂
Pisces
New perceptions change your world for the better, if you allow yourself to see clearly.
Happiness comes from creative banter (and not a little flirting!) at the beginning of this month. You’ll be exchanging lucrative ideas with an air-sign who seems to match up to all your needs and expectations—and to find the cracks in your ideas and fix them, too. But before you go jumping the gun, hold on and strengthen those boundaries. This person may not have your best interests at heart. In business with them, dot your ‘i’s and cross your ‘t’s. Then let their trustworthiness be proven over time.
Mid-month looks like a row of dominoes teetering. First you may feel stuck on a merry-go-round with the same-old-same-old, then comes the realisation that the time was not right, but that the starting gun is about to go off. And then comes the new start and a knowing of your own power, which gets everything falling neatly into place. Find your centre, strive for balance, and exercise your power wisely.
Late November may see you walking away from something (or someone), but still very much in your power. All that you need (and more) comes to you, including a slew of admirers. While it may not be the perfect time for new relationships, it is for reconnecting with your children (including pets) and allowing your creativity to earn you a few more breaks.
Romance for singles: Spirituality plays an important part in your love-life this month. Some could meet their new love at church, temple, or philosophical meetings. Others may choose to concentrate on their own spiritual growth at this time instead of actively pursuing love. Either way, follow your intuition, so allowing your ability to experience great love to grow.
Romance of couples: It’s time to be strong. You or your partner needs to be more independent as your relationship may feel a little smothered by all the togetherness. It’s also a good time to address each others annoying or harmful habits. Try channelling some of your energies into creative and spiritual hobbies.
Aries
Take care of your health and your heart, especially when you’re setting difficult targets for yourself.
November begins with you feeling somewhat jaded or run-down. Take good care of your health, and if you’re feeling drained or are prone to fevers, do visit the doctor as soon as possible. Don’t push yourself to meet impossible deadlines of your own making. Rest and relaxation is what you most need at this time. Rather take it by choice instead of pushing the universe’s hand at this time.
Mid-November may not begin as the favourite time of your year, but it quickly changes into one! Unpredictability rules for a few days when anything could happen. Communication devices may take on a life of their own, so double-check your mail and back-up your important data. You’ll be learning new skills, one of which may become your new favourite ‘thing’. And there’s love and reunions towards the end of this period. If you’ve been apart from your beloved, you’ll be more than able to make up for it now.
November winds down with you hard at work or attempting to build your reputation. There’s lots of love and contentment, but if your partner’s an air-sign, they may be less than forgiving if you don’t make enough quality time for them. S,o set aside any new toys during your ‘special’ time. Else it’s the couch (or worse) for you in the foreseeable future.
Romance for singles: Trust issues may surface, making it hard for interested peeps to connect with you. If you’re not really looking for someone special that’s okay, but if you are, you’ll need to address these issues before you do. Remember, too, that if you’ve dealt with your issues, the person you’re interested in may still be dealing with theirs.
Romance for couples: Arguments about family traditions or bringing up children may cause some sulkiness or distance between you and your beloved. Compromise is called for, or at least a serious discussion where you both listen and speak frankly. Religion could also be a thorny issue this month, not just with your partner, but with friends as well. Avoid spiritual discussions in company to maintain harmony, even if you’ve had interesting discussions with the same groups/person before.
Taurus
Shake off any feelings of discontent. You’ll soon see the results of your choices and hard work.
Life begins to move in the direction you’d hoped for at the beginning of the month. You may have new transport or be travelling to a new destination. But there’s some discontent or a feeling that you should be doing something else. There may also be some concerns about your health or your mother’s/partner’s/sisters well-being. You may decide to take a new direction or relocate at this time. And if you’re awaiting an independent evaluation, it’s sure to be in your favour.
Mid-month sees the end of the feeling you’re being pulled in two directions. You find your carefree self emerging, possibly attracting new love or a new friend with it—one who reminds you of your younger self. While an old situation may not quite be done and dusted, it’s no longer a weight on your mind, allowing you to make better choices.
November winds down with you feeling uncertain over love or choices made earlier in the month/this quarter. Your fears will be allayed by a fire-sign or a creative person. Your sleep pattern will return to normal and you’ll find your emotional balance returning. If you didn’t give up on a love relationship, you’ll find the benefits now.
Romance for singles: Hanging out with your friends or allowing them to recommend new prospects to you will bring you the most luck in love this month. If work is overwhelming, ask for help, and this too could bring you the person of your dreams. Don’t try to go it alone this month.
Romance for couples: Family responsibilities may prove to be knotty. Unravel some time for you and your beloved to reconnect in a less stressful setting. Perhaps a gentle walk in the countryside or a riverboat cruise will be just the thing. Or a new class or course you would both enjoy—cooking/baking or painting…
Gemini
Standing still for now may lead to faster movement in the direction you wish to go.
What-ifs may be the bane of your life at the beginning of November, especially as it seems a small risk may allow you to pursue a long-held dream. With a lighter workload, or a smaller car, you may have the chance to scale back the energy-drainers and scale up the time you can spend on securing your happier future. Concentrate on the practicalities and the facts in front of you.
Your indecision or a stalemate could be just what’s needed around mid-month. Stalling, it may be, but with good effect. A better change, more suited to you, is right around the corner. Just don’t let the mental merry-go-round sweep the carpet out from under you. If you want to stay in one place for a little longer, you may have to temporarily jump to someone else’s tune.
November comes to a close on an emotional and fun note. You may be romanced by a brand new person (or an old-flame recently returned) but if something smells a little fishy to you, it probably is. It’s the perfect time for some fun and new beginnings, but only on your terms. Erase the what-ifs and follow that dream (or at least write it down). The universe may just show you an amazing short-cut.
Romance for singles: If public displays of affection are your thing, you may just find your match! An old childhood friend (or friend of a friend) may break out the mistletoe extra-early just for you. There’s a hint of mischievousness and playfulness that’s quite intoxicating. But for it to last into the new year, you and your beloved will have to do the relationship work.
Romance for couples: Rituals are a means of communication which your beloved reads carefully. Ensure you’re sending the right messages with your daily rituals—whether it’s the way you’re brushing your hair, or pouring milk into the cereal. And if you get a question out of left-field, don’t get defensive; remember it’s your change of daily rituals/actions which brought it on. Use this as a way to enable greater communication.
Cancer
A roller-coaster month of work and love brings out the crazy—and a really big decision.
Sleepless nights and anxiety should be things of the past as November begins. There’s new (or renewed love) bringing loads of inspiration and high-spirits just when you need them. Things are moving fast—both at work and in love. Expect declarations of passions from your beloved, and wild bursts of productivity at work. Things may be a little crazy, but worth all the effort,
Mid-November brings a total change of pace. A slow-down or total standstill allows you some much needed time to rest and take stock. Happiness stems from being with friends, family and your beloved, and may make for some great memories. Don’t be surprised if your new love (or renewed love) introduces you to their extended family or makes some other declaration or commitment.
November crawls to an end with you working or studying something new. If self-employed, you’ll be hard at work on new systems and securing new clients. Gemini’s may throw you off-track, either by declaring you a nemesis or by whisking you off on a romantic getaway. Either way, you may feel your life has once again thrown the crazy switch. Best to go with the flow if you can’t swim for safety.
Romance for singles: Oh dear, dear Cancer. There’s two ways this could go. Either you’ll feel you’ve met ‘the one’ or someone else will think you are ‘the one’. Problem is it’s all thinking on one side and all feeling on the other. In other words, take care as there may be an unrequited love triangle brewing—even if it’s with you, the other person and your pet dog. Someone may get very hurt if intentions and feelings aren’t made known from the very beginning.
Romance for couples: Your partner, especially if they are away or seldom get to spend much time with you, is missing you and all your little quirks—those small touches of colour and appreciation of life that you bring to their world. Keep doing what you’re doing and treat your partner to an afternoon of true romance.
Leo
If you’ve felt you’ve had the training wheels on, they’ll be off by the end of the month.
November begins on a wildly exciting note. For some, success in marriage or at home (winning all those ‘debates’?), and for others, a promotion at work or a new job. Whatever it is, be it your wit or your competence and creativity, it’s attracting all the right kind of attention—and invites too! Enjoy!
Mid-month may bring some fevers or low energy-levels. Carry those tissues and hankies, and make sure you’ve got your allergy meds with you. There’s a host of choices for you to make, too, but which idea to pursue can wait till the cotton-woolly feeling leaves your senses clear.
By month’s end, you may have to master something new—a program, a role, a new route to walk the dog…Whatever it is, you’re not loving it, and may in fact be struggling a little to adapt. Blame it on the slow-start at mid-month and know you’ll have it all down pat by the last day of the month. Use your logic and organisational abilities (not to mention, the d-word) to win through.
Romance for singles: An ex may return and ask for a second-chance. If your heart’s not in it from the beginning, why even go there? Though it may be difficult to be single at this time of year, it’s better than starting a relationship which sends out the wrong message to all the right people.
Romance for couples: You may be working hard to bring home the bacon, but sometimes all your beloved wants is a good vegan dinner… Simple, inexpensive pleasures keep your beloved happier just now. Quality time with you is worth more than gold.
Virgo
Love is strong on your mind and in your heart.
Love surrounds you this month as you say goodbye to the past. This shift within yourself radiates out to others, drawing in the same gentle, heart-felt love to you. Understanding and gentleness travel with you making for less drama. But you have something passionate to say to someone you love. It’s just not the right time for it.
Around mid-month, your schedule may lighten up enough for you to take a fun break. It may be to the sea, or to another watery environment (maybe a flotation tank) which leaves you well-rested and full of creative ideas. But you’ve still got your love-letter to re-write. No worries, you’ll get it right.
The travel theme continues till the end of the month when you may travel further to a forest or pristine area you’ve never visited before. It may remind you of your mother’s legacy in some way. Keep your sense of humour and allow your inspiration and connection to spirit to guide you safely on your path. If you’ve had difficulties with Librans or Geminis, you’ll find the secret to balance the situation now. In matters of the heart, know you’re on the right path.
Romance for singles: Community events and theatre may be where you find your next romance. A friend of a friend may be your next love as you’re looking for good references, not just good looks. Then again, the kind soul who helps you carry all your holiday parcels could also be the next to steal your heart.
Romance for couples: If you’ve been wondering about soul mates you’ll get your answers now. Your beloved may prove once again just why they are the only one for you. And if they are not, your soul mate may appear to you in dreams and other messages. But not all soul mates bring romance. And not all soul mates are human. The only thing soul mates ensure is that you have a lesson or two to learn in love.
Libra
A month of great changes and opportunities.
November begins by putting an end to a stagnant situation. A long delayed decision will be made, allowing you to manifest your greatest desires in terms of your career and finances. It may not be a perfect start, but you’ll be further up the ladder than you thought possible. Remember what team-work means, but don’t give your power away just to fit in. You are more valuable than you think.
There’s never a quiet moment around mid-month when a major change brings new friends, and great emotional and creative balance to you. Make sure to take the time to rest well, and be sure to drink plenty of water. You’ll be looking and feeling better than you have for a long time.
By month’s end you’ll may be wondering if all that effort was worth it. The work may just keep coming and you may wish you’d taken a longer break earlier in the year. If you aren’t earning as well as you think you should, you may still be in a probationary phase or may have to study an extra skill. Keep faith in yourself and your ideas. For a few, a concern about your mother may impact your work or prevent you attending a social, or delay you in some way. Though you may feel conflicted, ground yourself and stay true to who you really are.
Romance for singles: This month may have you believing you’re never going to meet someone special. Once more, you’ve got to keep the faith, hang up your hangups, and allow love to find you. With all the new goings-on, let your future partner do the work and find you.
Romance for couples: It’s time to enjoy your time together. Take a little trip together (or a big one!). Talk about all your dreams and plans for the future. Merge them together and let pure romance take over your life. Or, you know, just have a pajama-day together 🙂
Have a fab month!
P.S I’m having to re-start my draft of Your Tarotscope 2018 with a whole new section and more insights so it may be a little late like this post. Details coming soon 😀
