Behind the Scenes

This month can feel like you're living in two very different worlds. The first three weeks can be a little difficult since the Sun is skulking in your secretive 12th House of Privacy. This could be a period of relative obscurity when it's hard to get the recognition you desire. Phone calls and messages tend to be ignored, leaving you temporarily out of the loop. Still, if you're looking for a break from the spotlight or have a project you want to do behind the scenes, this could work in your favor.

On November 7 Venus, the planet of attraction, slips into your 12th house, which can darken the shadows around you. No, this doesn't have to be terrible; it's just that working relationships become more complicated. Rumors and outright lies could work against you. Fortunately, you'll have plenty of chances to set the record straight when planets start rolling into your optimistic sign.

Communicative Mercury leads the parade on November 15, giving you a stronger voice to express your ideas. Your ability to sell and teach, which is usually well above average, can be even more impressive now. Sure, your impulsiveness and intuition can lead to the occasional misfire, which might prove embarrassing. Yet you tend to be more successful when you swing for the fences than when you play it safe. Finally, on November 21, the Sun, our shining hero, strides into your sign where it lights up your 1st House of Personality and you gain a fresh sense of authority and self-confidence.
