As we move into the month of November, everyone is making predictions. Here in the United States of America, the month kicks off with Election Day on November 3 and, in perfect 2020 fashion, it also happens to correspond with the end of Mercury Retrograde. With the swift-moving planet preparing to change directions, everything slows down, so don’t be surprised if results take a bit longer than usual this year. But—let’s be honest—you don’t need to be an astrologer to reach that conclusion. 2020 has been anything but normal.

For the past few months, Mars—the virile planet of action, motivation, and determination— has also been spinning reverse in your own damn sign, making it extremely hard to get anything accomplished. But on November 13, this fiery heavyweight will join Mercury in its forward march. That’s right, Aries babe: After slews of unanswered texts, missed calls, and plenty of disappointing false starts, you’ll finally get the green light you’ve been so desperately seeking. By mid-month, the energetic shift will be palpable.

The New Moon in Scorpio on November 15 is the perfect lunation to reconnect with your desires. Think back to the Full Moon in Scorpio on May 7. What have you discovered over the last six months? Are any similar themes resurfacing now, and—if yes—are you approaching the issues from a different point of view? Scorpionic energy helps us work with the past, so fundamentally, this Full Moon is an opportunity to embrace nostalgia without letting it control your future. Under this velvety New Moon, give yourself permission to reflect on your previous experiences in a safe, contained, and compassionate way. But once the Moon begins to expand—opening into its waxing phase—it’s time to let that shit go.

Scorpio season also comes to a close on November 21, when the radiant Sun enters Sagittarius, a like-minded fire sign. This astrological shift electrifies your chart, and now—finally—you're ready to have some fun! For the next few weeks, you’ll be propelled by an insatiable wanderlust. You want to travel! Explore! Discover! Of course, adventure looks different against the backdrop of a global pandemic—so instead of dusting off your passport, consider investing in a workshop or joining an online community that piques your curiosity. Let’s be honest, your couch is much more comfortable than the middle seat of a cramped airplane, so go ahead and embark on a virtual expedition. All aboard!

If you’re really craving an adrenaline rush (which, as an Aries, you most certainly are), you’re in luck: The month concludes with a powerful lunar eclipse in Gemini on November 30. Yes, eclipse season is back and you know what that means: Everything is going to be a lot more dramatic. This eclipse is part of an ongoing series that will occur through the end of 2021 (the second eclipse of this season will take place on December 14), so don’t be surprised if you encounter massive shifts in your friend group by the end of the month—but this isn’t necessarily a bad thing! Eclipses open new doors by slamming other shut, so although adjustments aren’t always easy, trust these cosmic calibrations are in your best interest. After all, you’re a brave warrior—you can handle anything!
