Cancer, November 2016

On November 9, Mars enters Aquarius, igniting one of the most sensitive areas of your chart: the sector that rules sex, death, and taxes. Intimacy issues will certainly come to the fore over the next few weeks, and being that Mars is such a passionate, fiery energy, you'll find that your impulses are stronger and that you're reacting to things more aggressively than you usually would.

Aquarius is the sign of community, and while Mars is in this Air sign, you'll find yourself wondering, Are we all pitching in? Anyone not doing their part will really piss you off, little crab. If anyone owes you money, you'll want it back, STAT. Aquarius might be the sign of friendship, but while Mars is in this sign, it will be payback time for you—but this also means that you will need to settle the debts you owe others, too!

Will you be aggressive as hell all month? Nope! Sweet and sexy Venus enters down-to-earth Capricorn on November 11! This will bring majorly lovely vibes to your relationships. Capricorn is a grounded, stable Earth sign; while it's not thought of as being one of the sexiest signs in the zodiac due to its reputation for being a workaholic, Capricorn is actually sexy as hell. It's associated with the Devil card in the tarot, and trust me, the devil has good sex (I would know, I am a witch after all).

Venus in Capricorn won't only be good for your romantic relationships—it will also help bring harmony to every kind of partnership you're in! Venus just wants us to all get along, and Capricorn wants us to get to work. The energy is going to be productive and supportive.

November 14 brings a full moon in Taurus: Exciting! Because you're ruled by the Moon, this will be an especially revealing, powerful time for you. Full moons can be exhausting and emotional, but they also push us to face the facts and see things from a new perspective.

Drama will arrive in your social life, and after this full moon in Taurus, you might realize that you're ready to meet new people. It's important that you surround yourself with people who can cheer you on as you conquer your dreams, who "get" your vision of your future. You may have grown out of the friends you met at your local bar a few years ago. It's a bummer, but it's okay to move on.

Intimacy and balance in relationships in a huge theme for you this month, and this full moon in Taurus will bring you some clarity regarding how you want to move forward. An especially intense day in your relationships will arrive on November 25, when sweet, lovely Venus meets the lord of the underworld, Pluto.

This could work out in so many ways for you, Cancer, but the bottom line is that Pluto is the planet of transformation, so expect your relationships (especially the ones concerning Venusian themes like love, money, and beauty) to be altered by Pluto's touch.

Pluto is also the planet of death and rebirth—it's scary and wonderful. Pluto doesn't have an awesome reputation. As the lord of the underworld, it's associated with shadiness, manipulation, obsession, and possessiveness. These are all qualities you'll want to watch out for in others. But there are some positives here, too: Pluto is the planet of depth and transformation, so expect to get closer to your partners in a very deep, real, and raw way.

One day you definitely need to highlight in your calendar is November 24, which is when Jupiter will square (a challenging astrological aspect) Pluto. Lucky planet Jupiter is currently in charming Air sign Libra, where it's bringing major blessing to the home and family sector of your chart for the next year or so: Awesome!

During this transit, you'll expand your home, perhaps by moving, renovating, or adding new members to your family. Think back to 2004—that's the last time Jupiter was in Libra, activating this sector of your chart. Family and home issues aren't all that Jupiter will bring its abundant energy to: This is an amazing time to research your family history, to work out childhood issues, and to get in touch with what home, safety, and privacy mean to you.

Pluto, the planet of death and rebirth, is currently in Capricorn, where it's activating the relationship sector of your chart. When Pluto and Jupiter clash, you can bet that this will be a turning point in your life around your most personal, close relationships. Do you feel "at home" with the people you have in your life? Are you ready to take the next step in a relationship, perhaps by moving in with someone—or moving out?

Power struggles are always an issue when Pluto is on the scene, and while Jupiter may be the planet of good luck, it's also the planet of overdoing and exaggeration. When these two planets clash, you can bet on over-the-top drama. This will be a wild ride, but ultimately, it'll bring a huge growth spurt for you.

That said, relationships won't be all you're working on this month: On November 12, Mercury enters Sagittarius, followed by the Sun on November 21. The Sun and Mercury in Sagittarius will light up the sector of your chart that rules your chores and responsibilities, as well as your health and habits.

The month wraps up with a new moon in Sagittarius on November 29. This is an amazing time to make a list of what you want to manifest in your life, especially concerning work and your health. If you haven't been to the doctor in a long time, go now: This will be a great time to check in and say hi. It's easy to develop healthy habits under the new moon!

This is also an opportune time to look for work or to simply get the shit on your to-do list done. If you're reading this horoscope early in November, thinking about doing mundane stuff like this might sound totally boring, but trust me—after this emotional, fun, intense month, you'll be happy to focus on busy work! See you in December, Cancer!
