Pisces, November 2015

_In our monthly horoscopes, we provide a more in depth look at what's happening in the sky. If you are not a Pisces and/or don't care about Pisces, _you can read the rest of our monthly horoscopes here.__

On November 2 Mercury enters fellow psychic and sensitive Water sign, Scorpio! This is an awesome, once-a-year occurrence, Pisces. It will bolster your intuitive abilities, increase your confidence, and sharpen your mind. All year round you're a bit of a philosopher, but this is especially true when the planet of communication, Mercury, is in the sign of depth and transformation, Scorpio. If you're traveling, going to school, or expanding your mind and horizons in other ways, Mercury in Scorpio will be super helpful.

November 2 is major for an other reason, too: Enchanting and harmonious Venus meets passionate, energetic Mars, both of them in Virgo, your opposite sign! This is so insanely lovely for your partnerships (romantic or otherwise), and this will likely be one of the most important times of the year for you around teaming up with others. Mars and Venus spend most of their time in the heavens seducing and chasing each other, so when they finally meet, there's a feeling of contentment and satisfaction in the air: Have you found happily ever after?

Venus and Mars are meeting in Virgo, a sign that's everything you're not: Methodical, sober, grounded. Venus and Mars hanging out in Virgo will create a wonderful feeling of balance in your life and an opportunity to participate with life in a more earthy, Virgoan manner. Obviously, this is a great transit for romance (and sex—Virgo might be the virgin of the zodiac, but all Earth signs are physical and lusty), but all relationships will benefit from this transit.

The good vibes continue on November 6 when Mercury in Scorpio trines Neptune in your sign, Pisces! Neptune, like you, has a super dreamy and whimsical energy, and when it's in good relationships with communication planet Mercury (as it will be on November 6), conversations flow smoothly, poetic e-mails pop up in our inbox, and psychic connections are made. If there's something on your mind you want to communicate effectively and sensitively, today is an excellent day to plan or have that conversation.

This is also a great day for any kind of creative writing or journaling. Occultists believe that words carry an incredible amount of power, in fact, the term Abracadabra is believed to have come from an Aramaic saying, "I create as I speak." Mercury, the planet of communication, is the Roman equivalent to Thoth, the Egyptian god of logic and magic— to the ancients, language created reality. Even Die Antwoord knows that "Everything you rap about comes true if you got some freakin balls," and you are way more creative and intelligent than Die Antwoord, Pisces. Manifest your dreams today via language!

On November 8, Venus enters Libra, increasing the intimacy level in your life. Libra is all about balance and partnership, and Venus is a sweet, luxurious energy that vibes very well with Libra's desire to create unity. You'll experience this transit on a profound level, being that Libra occupies a very sensitive and transformative spot in the zodiac in relation to you, Pisces. Expect issues around sex and intimacy to pop up. Finding balance around responsibilities and resources you and your partners share with each other will also be a theme: If you're buying all the toilet paper, they'd better cover the toothpaste. If you answer their texts ASAP when they freak out, they better be available when you're feeling weak!

November 10 is a helpful and active day, with Mercury in Scorpio sextile power planet Pluto in industrious Capricorn, and the Sun, also in Scorpio, sextile Jupiter in down-to-earth Virgo. We love a sextile between planets; it tells us that the energies are working together productively. Communicator Mercury connecting with Pluto suggests that influential and powerful people will be available for you to connect with— definitely make a point to socialize today. You're not a social climber, Pisces, but it never hurts to get connected with people in high places, and today could be just the day you'll do that. You'll also enjoy a boost in confidence, especially around your relationships, with the Sun sextile abundant and joyous Jupiter.

The New Moon in Scorpio on November 11 will inspire you to make some new plans around self growth. Travel plans are likely to form, and your desire to go to school, take classes, or just experience new things will be super strong at this time. If you're currently in school, this New Moon will find you recommitting to your goals— or perhaps starting a new path and changing your focus!

The next day, November 12, Mars enters logical Air sign Libra, which will kick off an interesting period in your life around recognizing who supports you and who doesn't. Remember, Libra is all about partnership, and warrior Mars will chop off anyone's head who isn't on its team. November 13 brings some helpful vibes, with more of those awesome sextile aspects to aid you: Venus in Libra will sextile Saturn in fiery Sagittarius, and Mercury in Scorpio will sextile your ruling planet, Jupiter, in Virgo. Saturn is the planet of foundation and boundaries, and when it's playing nicely with Venus, we get to enjoy a solid, dependable vibe in our relationships. For you, Pisces, this combination will be especially awesome in your career or public life. Communicator Mercury and philosophical Jupiter's connection on this day adds a dash of confidence around self expression— you're ready to say goodbye to whatever's not working for you, with Mars in Libra, but there's likely going to be plenty of relationships and goals that are working for (and with) you, Pisces!

November 18 is exciting— Neptune, one of your ruling planets (Jupiter is the other, traditional ruling planet for you, Pisces), stations direct. Because Neptune is one of your rulers and it's currently hanging out in your sign (this is awesome, lucky and rare!), the forward motion of this planet will have a deep and profound influence around how you express yourself and how other people see you or react to you. You'll notice that dreams and goals you've had around self development will start moving forward now that Neptune is done with it's retrograde.

On November 20, Mercury enters fiery Sagittarius, encouraging you to start communicating around your goals, especially concerning career or even fame. There is also some tough stuff to deal with on November 20, so be careful: Venus squares Pluto, and this challenge will manifest in your social life in possibly awkward and intense ways. Basically, if something doesn't feel like it's your business, do you best to avoid getting involved. Avoid love triangles, instigators, manipulators, and shady circumstances.

On November 22, the Sun enters Sagittarius, the sign of philosophy and fun. Soon after, on November 25, we have a Full Moon in Gemini. The Sun in knowledge-seeking Sag inspires all of us to examine what we think about the world. For you especially, Pisces, the transit will encourage you to think about how you feel about the pursuit of success. Sag is an outgoing and abundant energy, and while you can be a shy little fish, Pisces, the Sun in Sag really encourages you to shine and enjoy the spotlight. The Full Moon will call in the opposite energy, just to keep in you in check. The Sun may be in big-thinking Sag, but the Moon in detailed oriented Gemini will ask you to do some "fact checking" in your life, as well as remind you to honor your need for privacy. The Sun in Sag, the sign of the traveler, is inspiring you to see the world, but the Full Moon in Gemini will be here to remind you to pay your rent— we all need a safe space to come home to after we've seen the world, and after the world has seen us. Privacy and security are just as important as fame.

November 26 delivers a massive reality check around your goals concerning, again, fame and success—on this day the planet of reality, rules, and regulations, Saturn squares dreamy Neptune in your sign. Zero bullshit will fly in the realm of work or popularity. Telling lies about who you are and what you can do will not work, Pisces. And, if you've been lying to yourself, a wake up call will arrive. But, Pisces, you can also be the queen of negative self talk— if you've been moping around about how you can't do this or that or feeling upset because no one notices you, at the end of the month you may realize that's not true at all! It's time to take action around you dreams, and do it in a tempered, realistic, and mature way.

On November 29 the Sun in Sag will also square Neptune, which will reinforce these themes and remind you not to let your ego get too wrapped up in popularity or success. Be yourself is the theme for the end of the month! Also on November 29, Sun meets wise Saturn in Sagittarius: Maturity and patience are the keys to success.
