Virgo, November 2016

On November 9, Mars enters Aquarius and activates the sector of your chart that rules your health, habits, daily work, and chores. I know this sort of sounds really boring, but Mars is the warrior planet, so while it's in the sign of genius, Aquarius, you'll be getting shit done like never before (which is saying something because you're pretty on top of your responsibilities).

November won't be all work and no play: On November 11, sexy Venus enters fellow Earth sign Capricorn, sending you excellent vibes around both creativity and romance! This is going to be fantastic for your love life; expect a cutie or two to come into view (if you're looking). Even though Mars in Aquarius will bless you with a ton of energy to conquer your to-do list, Venus in devilish Capricorn will make sure you have plenty of fun. This is also an excellent time for making art—plenty of inspiration surrounds you, and Mars in Aquarius is motivating you to do more than just stare at the canvas.

On November 14, we have a full moon in fellow Earth sign Taurus. It's time for you to look at the bigger picture, Virgo. It's just like you to get lost in the details, but during this full moon, I don't want you to focus on whether or not your boss is annoying you today—focus on whether or not you actually want to work there. Don't complain about your lover's teeth. Instead, ask yourself if you're spending time with someone you actually care about.

Full moons are emotional, exhausting, and revealing. This one will bring some important news your way, or it'll bring you some deep philosophical realizations. The Sun is currently in Scorpio, a sign that enjoys sifting through people's trash to see what they're hiding—and you totally can get into digging around! However, during this full moon, try to remain in the present. If someone has thrown something in the trash, it means they don't want it in their lives anymore. Do you really need to concern yourself with the past? No! Look toward the future, Virgo.

Mercury enters Sagittarius on November 12, soon followed by the Sun on November 21. These two planets will be lighting up the home and family sector of your chart, so expect to get close and cozy over the next few weeks! This will be a great time to think about issues concerning your living situation and to reflect on what privacy and safety mean to you. Mercury loves to chat, so sorting things out with family, partners, or roommates is recommended at this time; however, perhaps avoid any important conversations on November 18.

Mercury clashes with Neptune on November 18, which will make communication difficult. Neptune is the planet of fog and fantasy, and logical Mercury has a hard time getting its point across when Neptune's misting up the place. Avoiding having to make important decisions today, or doing anything that requires you to pay sharp attention.

November 19 will be a day to note regarding your relationships (both romantic and otherwise). This is because Neptune leave retrograde and receive some love from Venus. Neptune is the planet of fantasy and illusion, and it's been hanging out in the sector of your chart that rules relationships (of all kinds, not just romantic). This means things have been dreamy as hell—but also confusing! When Neptune ends its retrograde and goes direct, this will be a wonderful time for you to pause and reflect on your partnerships. Is there a healthy amount of mystery and whimsy between you and those you care about? Or are things just totally unclear?

Neptune will never bring you clarity—it's just not its thing. It will bring you creativity, connection, and inspiration, but "making sense" just isn't Neptune's jam. Can you deal with that? It's likely that you don't mind Neptune's hazy influence touching certain relationships, but there are others that will drive you bananas if things aren't super straightforward. Meditate on all of this, Virgo! Now's the time to sort out your feelings regarding all these relationships. Sweet Venus in practical, down-to-earth Capricorn will support you as you work it out.

On November 23, Mercury meets Saturn in Sagittarius, which will bring some serious conversations to your home and with your family. The mood today isn't light or chatty, but some very productive ideas will manifest. Expressing yourself isn't going to be super easy when it comes to emotional stuff, but Mercury and Saturn will help you take care of business.

The vibe is electric on November 26 when Mercury connects with genius Uranus in Fire sign Aries—this will be an exciting, inspiring day for communication! Surprise news will come your way, as will some emotional breakthroughs. You might randomly tell someone how you're really feeling. Uranus loves to shock and surprise people!

One of the most intense days this month is November 24, when Jupiter in Libra clashes with Pluto in Capricorn. Long story short: You want a lot, but will you ever have it all? It's extremely overwhelming to wonder if you'll ever have all the security you desire, if you'll ever be able to pursue your creative dreams or simply be able to kick back and have fun without needing to worry about who will pay the bills. And it's stressing you out. If you're living paycheck to paycheck, this combination will push you find a way to break this cycle. If your financial situation is more abundant, you'll still find that a reality check needs to be cashed around your relationship to money.

Luckily, as stressful as a clash between over-consumptive Jupiter and sneaky, obsessive Pluto is, the fact remains that Jupiter is the planet of luck and Pluto, the planet of power, knows all the VIPs: Some hidden source of wealth may reveal itself to you. But be careful—don't trust just anyone, and be prepared to be face major stress today.

The month wraps up with a new moon in Sagittarius on November 29! New moons are new beginnings, and this one is bringing a fresh start to your living situation, as well as around family. This is a great time to do some energetic cleansing in your home. Or, you know, some real cleansing. There's a rumor going around that Virgos are neat freaks, but you and I know that's not true. Go change your sheets this new moon! See you in December, Virgo!
