Let's Play a Love Game

Eclipse season is over, but your November 2023 horoscope for each zodiac sign still has plenty of exciting surprises in store for all. As usual, November begins in the thick of Scorpio season, so intensity is guaranteed—especially given that the sun is traveling hand-in-hand with adrenaline-fueled Mars all month long. Things are simmering!

The first week of the month is marked by a series of explosive oppositions that collectively drag six major planets into the mix. The sun in Scorpio faces off with expansive Jupiter just after 1 a.m. ET on November 2, which could boost confidence levels for some, but might deflate oversized egos for others. Don’t get cocky! A clash between hazy Neptune and heart-eyed Venus the next day gives us all dangerously rose-colored glasses when it comes to love. Falling in love this weekend would be a dangerous game. On November 4, communicative Mercury goes head-to-head with shock-artist Uranus, bringing surprising information to light. Thankfully, Saturn retrograde ends the following day, helping us to fully integrate some of the heavier life lessons that have been processing since March.

On November 8, romantic planet Venus enters its airy home-base of Libra, sprinkling its harmonious magic over relationships, aesthetics, and social connections. Mercury shifts into Sagittarius two days later, summoning everyone’s inner-extrovert and inspiring us to think bigger. Soon after, the sultry new moon in Scorpio on November 13 ushers forth an impassioned new beginning with air of unpredictability. You can make moves without being delusional or reckless about it.

Scorpio season hits its fever pitch post-new moon, as a powerful aspect known as a Mars cazimi occurs on November 18. With feisty Mars aligning with the sun in its traditional home sign of Scorpio, expect a powerful surge of motivation, energy, and ambition. Set your intentions under the new moon, but use the Mars cazimi to put them into action. Both planets will move into fiery Sagittarius on November 22 and 24 respectively, kicking off Sagittarius season with a bang. It’s time to expand our horizons, broaden our sources of knowledge, and party ‘til we drop, of course! Just keep in mind that the sun and Mars will be squaring off with stern Saturn as the season begins, so we may have to take care of lingering responsibilities before we can fully embrace our free-spiritedness.

The month wraps up with an energizing full moon in Gemini rising on November 27. Ideas are bubbling out of us now, but a square between mental Mercury and day-dreamy Neptune could give everyone a serious case of brain fog. So while the desire to act on every idea may feel urgent, under these cosmic conditions, patience may prove to be the most valuable of virtues.
