Bold Actions

The first third of November may be a little frustrating because you might feel like you're in a world filled with romance but where it's hard for you to get your share. The month gets off to a rocky start as your ruling planet Mercury forms a tense 90-degree square with aggressive Pluto on November 1. This can trigger anger, which is no invitation to love. Take your sharp observations and think about them carefully before sharing them with someone who might find them more offensive than funny or insightful. The Full Moon on November 2 falls in your private 12th House of Secrets, which may be good for having a secret affair but which can also leave you standing on the outside looking in.

The initial hint of a favorable shift in the social winds comes on November 15 when Mercury moves into Sagittarius and your 7th House of Relationships. This opens channels of communication to enliven a current alliance or make it easier to connect with someone new. It's time to reach out beyond your usual social circle to take advantage of these opportunities. When the Sun follows Mercury into this part of your chart on November 21 you'll be ready to be even bolder in reaching out to others. You could attract someone who lives far away or makes big promises (or both). That's fine if you're not seeking daily companionship. Letting things cook at long distance, though, is sometimes even more exciting than having daily contact with your object of desire.
