Taurus, 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 Taurus and/or don't care about Tauruses, you can read the rest of our monthly horoscopes here.

It's getting colder, Taurus, but November has so many opportunities for you to cuddle and get cozy with the people you love (and wanna hook up with, yay!), so I don't think you'll feel any chills!

You hate over-talking and over-thinking things, but digging deep and examining emotional depths is majorly on the menu this month, sweet cow: Mercury, the planet of communication, enters Scorpio, the sign of the investigator, on November 2, which will create an environment where you get to talk about every little tiny thing on your mind, especially around your relationships! And you'll be hearing what's on everyone else's mind, too. If you're hoping to have some thoughtful and honest conversations during the first chunk of November, Mercury in sensitive Water sign Scorpio will be very supportive— awesome!

November 2 has even more exciting stuff going on. Your ruling planet, lovely Venus, meets passionate, warrior planet Mars, both of them in fellow Earth sign Virgo. This is so amazingly hot and fun, Taurus; I really can't imagine that early November 2015 will be a time period around love, romance, and creativity that you'll forget anytime soon.

Venus is the planet of seduction, beauty, peace, and prosperity, while Mars is all about penetration, action, and bravery. We all know these cosmic lovers very well, so you can imagine that when they finally meet each other in the heavens, there's a huge, glorious feeling of satisfaction— a climax, if you will.

All this will be occurring in Virgo, a sign known as the virgin and strongly associated with themes around service, organization, and analysis. It all sounds really boring, right? Totally, but there's a hidden side to Virgo we don't often see, one that you will be able to enjoy fully in early November. Like you, Virgo is an Earth sign— physical and lusty. Virgo is ruled by Mercury, a curious and communicative planet, and while Virgo might be the "virgin," like many virgins I've known, Virgo is so down for experimentation and self exploration— and this sort of discovery is precisely what's in store for you in your love life, Taurus! And even the seemingly boring side of Virgo will bless your romantic endeavors. You'll be blessed with help, regularity, and clarity!

If you're really not feeling romantic right now, no worries— this Venus/Mars combination will also be absolutely amazing for your creative life! Inspiration is abundant, invitations will be extended, and a chance to perform and shine is on its way.

More shifts occur on November 8 when your ruling planet Venus enters balanced and intellectual Air sign Libra. This is an amazing opportunity for you to check with yourself and ask if your life is balanced, especially around how much work you do versus how much down time you have. This is also an excellent time for you to check in with your health and habits around wellness. Venus is charming energy— ask for help if you need it! Use Venus's seductive vibes to charm your friends into helping you accomplish everyday tasks or to guilt your boss into giving you time off. On November 12, Mars also enters Libra, which will bless you with lots of energy to conquer your chores and get organized.

November 11 has a New Moon in sexy Scorpio, which will breathe new life into your relationships. Or, more accurately, it will imbue them with killer Scorpio vibes— your relationships will totally fucking drop dead, ceasing their bullshit heartbeats, then they'll be reanimated via Scoprio's phoenix-rising-from-the-ashes, paranormal powers. Hurray for rebirth!

After all this rebirthing, we have a lovely and supportive opportunity for you to lay new foundations in your relationships and ro create a positive vibe around giving, taking, and sharing in your everyday relationships (romantic and otherwise) on November 13 when Venus sextiles the planet of structure and commitment, Saturn. Communicator Mercury will also sextile lucky Jupiter on this day, which will add a feeling of confidence and joy around all your communications. Yes, there might be some exaggerations made today, but in general, the vibe will be good.

Some clarity arrives to your social life on November 18 when the planet of haze and confusion, Neptune, ends its retrograde and stations direct. Neptune rules dreams, and, in general, the fact that it's now moving forward signals to us that it's time to reexamine our wishes and goals. Soon after, on November 20, Mercury enters Sagittarius, the sign of the seeker. Sagittarius is a Fire sign, optimistic and philosophical. Logical Mercury entering this sign will find you deeply thinking and having conversations concerning your goals and wishes—not to mention your fears. It's time to heal all that, and doing it through talk therapy or journaling is a wonderful way to work with Mercury.

That said, November 20 will come with some difficulties, but don't let today's bad vibes freak you out. Your ruling planet, Venus, squares power hungry Pluto on November 20, which may have you facing some manipulative people or shady situations. Take it slow and avoid power struggles. Bringing in a third party is a great way to ensure that things don't go out of hand.

Your mind remains on deep and sensitive subjects on November 22 when the Sun enters Sagittarius, and the next way will be pretty nutty: On November 23, Venus will oppose the planet of shock and revolution, Uranus. Unexpected surprises will come up, and a major shakeup to your routine will occur! Embracing change is the best way to work with the energy.

November 25 sees a Full Moon in Air sign Gemini. This will, surprisingly, have a grounded effect on you, Taurus! Your mind has been so occupied by relationships, intimacy, sharing resources, and working with others all month. The Gemini vibes will help you zero in on what you need. Some illumination around financial issues is also very likely at this time.

One of the biggest days this month is November 26, when Saturn squares Neptune. Saturn is the planet of rules, boundaries, and structures. It's all about reality, while Neptune can sometimes be summed up as bullshit. Of course, that's totally mean, and sensitive Neptune's feelings would probably be really hurt by that, but hey, that's just what dreamy, whimsical, creative Neptune seems like to cold, grouchy Saturn. The challenge between these two planets, in a nutshell, asks us to get real (Saturn) about our dreams (Neptune). It will also show us the truth around some issues we've been avoiding.

You're going to especially see this play out in your social life, but this will also affect deep, personal and sensitive issues that you may not want to share with just anybody— think sexy things, money, etc. But perhaps, Taurus, you've been deluded— have you been too open with people you shouldn't have been? Or perhaps you've been sharing too much of your own resources with people who are acquaintances or who haven't proven their worth?

The end of the month ends on a challenging note, but it will be clarifying and helpful in the long run. You're certainly going to see and think about things on a much deeper level once the month is over— and again, you're certainly going to have plenty of hugs and kisses to get you through it all!
