This will be a big month that should bring news that makes your life brighter. All the things that have been on your mind, namely, career, money, and a home related matter will bring you good news. You will also have more time for romance and to see friends. I would say that's sensational news, wouldn't you?

The beginning of the month does have one challenging aspect, but I feel it will work in your favor. Saturn will oppose Uranus on November 4, a very rare configuration that we have not seen since 1965-1968. Like in the 1960s, these two planets will oppose one another on several dates, not just one. Next year, Saturn and Uranus will again carry on this discussion on February 5 and September 15, and in 2010 on April 26 and July 26. This means whatever questions come up now will likely start a longer dialog within you that will replay occasionally over the coming 20 months. You need not feel pressured to find answers immediately. You will have time.

Uranus rules Aquarius and it is due to Uranus that you are by nature so innovative, pioneering, and resourceful. Saturn is a conservative and cautious planet, so in coming months you may become frustrated by someone close who seems to be overly traditional in thinking and, in your opinion, too wedded to the past. This may be someone in your personal life, such as a spouse or steady lover, or someone in your professional life, such as a business partner or collaborator.

When you have two planets so opposite in nature staring at one another from across the skies, a rare opportunity emerges to blend the best of both. In this case you can integrate the most valuable parts of the past with the most innovative forms you want for the future. There will be no need to fight this trend, but rather, go with it. It will benefit you, making you more seasoned, mature, and flexible.

Saturn is a material planet, and Uranus a humanitarian one, so another way this may work out is that in the months to come you can find ways to do charity or community work to make the world a better place. Any yen you have to contribute to society would grow larger under this trend. By the time you get to the last opposition of Saturn and Uranus in late July 2010, you will see how far you've come.

Now let's to turn to your professional life, which will show gratifying progress this month. This will be a big month for you to score a number of career victories. A promotion may come now, or you may get an offer for a new job. You may receive exceptional publicity for work well done, or you could win an award. The industry will begin to see you in a new light and that's excellent!

The career new moon that appeared on October 29 announced that this trend will still be chugging along in early November. This new moon will bring you plenty of opportunities, but you must act fast. Like the little engine that could, you can now ride to the very top of the mountain, but to do so you must stay focused. This is your very best time of 2008 to look for a promotion or better position, and you won't see anything quite a strong again for two years.

This means that as you begin November, if you don't like your current position then start looking for new opportunities immediately. Scan the job listings, call headhunters, read industry newsletters to stay up to date, and tell friends that you are interested in hearing their tips and having them make introductions. Your timing will be superb in the first two weeks of November.

Keep in mind that you need not actually win your job now, but you would have to plant the first seed by having an initial contact or meeting. In astrology, the day you begin really matters. So pick up the phone, dear Aquarius, or if you are in a job you really love, launch important new projects.

Mercury will not retrograde again until January 11 through February 1, so you have a big, clear road ahead, along with plenty of cosmic support.

Your first glowing day will be November 10 when Jupiter, planet of good luck, will signal the Sun, and you'll see how much your friends care about you, as you move to a very possibly lucrative situation. You may receive a raise, a generous commission, new company benefit, or special fee for bringing in new business.

Actually, this whole week, November 10-15, should bring exceptional career and financial news across the board, so circle it in red as perfect for any big meetings where a negotiation is required. You'd be favored, so there's no harm taking full advantage!

Mars will be in your solar tenth house of fame and honors until November 15, precisely the place you want Mars to be in order to get ahead. This is why the first half of November will be a critical time for you to discuss your career and your future. If you are self-employed, you can land a new client or get important publicity, so you can make this trend work for you, too.

You have one other huge aspect coming up that will help you even more when it comes to career!

Watch November 21, when Jupiter will make a very rare and friendly communication to Saturn. This is a very strong and stabilizing aspect, so you should feel as though any financial talks and deals you schedule for this day, or in the two days leading up to November 21, will go well. Nothing similar will happen again until July 2012!

Jupiter is the planet of abundance, and Saturn is the planet of prudence and realism. Saturn has been based in your house of other people's money, where such topics as loans and credit cards, mortgages and other financial obligations are found, since September 2007 and has been a pulsing area of your chart all this time.

Saturn in this house can often constrict funds, and so you may have been concerned about credit card balances and other financial obligations. If so, you have good news coming. Jupiter's benefic rays are about to reach Saturn on November 21, allowing you to create new and better financial arrangements that will bring you a stronger sense of financial security. Plan your meetings from November 18 to 21, Tuesday to Friday, for you will feel the comforting glow of these two planets working together on all four of these important days.

Another reason you may have felt that you were walking "down" an "up" escalator-which got you nowhere fast when it came to money-is that the two planets that have rulership over your finances, Neptune and Uranus, have been in weak retrograde orbit for months. This month, both will turn direct. Glory be, that's sensational news!

Watch what happens on and near the date that Neptune turns direct, November 2, and also when Uranus, your ruling planet, turns direct IN your financial second house, on November 27. You should see certain clues that your finances are finally heading in the right direction.

Before we talk about your burgeoning social life, let's look at what the full moon will bring mid-month.

This full moon of November 13, plus or minus four days, will bring an important culmination to a home, property, or family matter. Something that will happen at home or in regard to other property is likely to make you happy. If you had ordered furniture a while ago, it would arrive at this time, and you would enjoy how it makes your room look. Or, if your lease was coming due, you'd sign a new lease within four days of this date. If you have a family member, such as a parent, who needs special help, you will likely announce a final decision about what to do to help your parent at this full moon. You may move, see a contractor finish his job, or be successful in selling your house at this time. There are many possibilities, but the point is, you will see a conclusion to a home or family matter that has been ongoing for weeks or months.

The ancient astrologers called the fourth house (where you have so much activity going on mid-month) not only the house of home, but also the house ruling "the end of all matters."

Hence, a situation that has been dragging on for quite a long time, such as a court case or insurance claim (as two of many examples) may now finally come to the end at this full moon. Keep in mind that the matter need not be related to your home-it could pertain to any matter that you wish would hurry along and be done. It seems it will be at this full moon.

Now let's talk about your social life, which is about to hit all the right notes in the second half of November and stay in full swing throughout December!

You'll become more relaxed from mid-month on, and considering your chart, getting a chance to kick back would be a new influence. Although you will have Venus to brighten your friendship sector from November 1-12, things won't be exactly dull, but even so, you will find your social life to become much more lively in the second half of November, due to the impending appearance of the Sun, Mars, Mercury, and the new moon.

Mars will increase your enthusiasm for seeing friends and going to holiday parties from November 16 onward, and lucky you, Mars will remain in this lovely position-in Sagittarius-until December 27. You seem ready for a VERY active holiday. Having done all the work on your career that you needed to do in October and early November, you can sit back, relax, and celebrate the season. Yes, you'll have work on your desk, but it won't be all work and no play for you by any means.

In the two weeks that follow the new moon in Sagittarius, November 27, you will be able to enjoy your friends more than ever. Your friends haven't seen you in a while, so they will be happy to see you again!

Think of a new moon as a window of opportunity that will open wide for two weeks-the friendships you make, the new clubs and groups you join, and the plans you make during that time will grow in importance in coming months.

Are you hoping to meet someone special on a blind date? Choose November 27 or December 1, when Venus will be your new BFF when she links to Jupiter. You won't likely go wrong!

What a wonderful balance between your public and private life your chart shows for November! Career success at the start and popularity with friends in so many quarters as the month winds down. It's no wonder you've put a bottle of champagne on ice-you will have so much to celebrate soon!

Summary

The plan is easy to see for November. In the first half of the month, push hard on career opportunities because they will be some of the very best you will find in all of 2008. You have a buildup of planetary energy in your house of honors, awards, and achievement, the place you need planets in order to climb the ladder of success.

Any new position you find now would not be at your level, it would take you higher! You need not actually win your job now, but you must begin to interview for it in the first half of November. If you love your current job or are self-employed, you can launch your biggest initiatives now. You may garner major publicity now, too.

Watch November 10 as stunning for finding superb positions, possibly as a result of a tip of a friend.

November 21 will be a wonderful day, and you will start to benefit from the glow that Saturn and Jupiter will create as early as November 19. This day will allow you to make important, long-term deals for the future that will enhance your financial security.

Home, family, and other property you may have will bring news at the full moon, November 15, plus or minus three days. You may make a big decision, or see a major culmination to a question you've been working on lately. You may move, sign a lease, sell property, receive furniture, see a renovation completed, or help a parent. There are so many possibilities, but the result will be the same-you will likely enjoy the results!

You may also see a very long situation come to an end on or very near November 15, as this same house rules "the end of all matters."

In the second half of November, your social life will click to a new beat. You'll have Mars, acting like an advance man, heating up the area of your chart from November 16 onward, and then the glorious new moon, November 27, to make your social activity even more exciting. This means December will be busy-no staying home! You will love this influence!

At the same time, your ruling planet, Uranus, opens his eyes after a long sleep (since the end of June) ensuring a really exciting series of months is due! Uranus won't go retrograde again until July 1, so you've plenty of time to see success on your most important endeavors.

One last word before I leave. Next month, a full moon on December 12 is due to be troublesome for everyone. The mutable signs will feel the effects of this full moon the most, however, and those signs are Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, and Pisces. You are not part of that group, but as said, everyone will feel some fallout from this angry full moon. Mars will be in hard angle to Uranus, your ruler, so you may be upset over something a lover says, or that an older child does, or the way a creative project at work progresses.

I mention this because this full moon will appear so close to the coming holidays of Christmas and Hanukkah. If you planned to get things ready for the holidays near December 12, such as to shop, put up a tree, ship gifts from the post office, and so forth, you won't find it easy to complete those tasks at that time of the month, as this full moon will likely break your concentration and veer you off course for a few days. In December, losing a few days can be very tension producing.

I urge you to complete your holiday preparations prior to December 9. Don't leave things to the last minute, as this full moon is likely to throw your agenda into a spanner while you work to fix whatever comes up. I wasn't going to mention this quite yet, but I realized that if you had advance notice, you would have a better chance to rearrange your schedule. This year try to finish holiday preparations early. I know it is hard to move up your schedule, but I am doing the same as you. We are all in the same boat! I want you to have a happy holiday, dear Aquarius. If you do this, you will!

Dates to watch

Saturn (conservative, cautious, material) will oppose Uranus (idealistic, humanitarian, rebellious) on November 4, the first of a series of aspects that will happen between now and July 2010. You will be given a powerful chance to blend the best of both planets, coming up with innovative ideas that are grounded in practicality and longevity.

Give laser-like focus to your career November 1-16. You should find delirious rewards!

Financially, talks work out so well in your favor during the week of November 10-15 that you're left stunned. Make appointments!

A home, property, or family situation reaches an end point: November 13, plus or minus four days.

Fun, friends, and lots of invitations to emerging parties begin to come your way once Mars enters Sagittarius, November 16, and Mars remains in this glittering house until December 31.

Make new arrangements for financial obligations or agree on a deal on the major date, November 21, when Jupiter and Saturn will be in rare and supportive communication.

Review credit card balances and payment options, put in applications on loans, mortgages, scholarships, or see about taking legal action for child support, at the new moon November 27.

Best dates for romance: November 10, 14, 15, 17, 18, 22-23, and your gold star period: November 27-30. Blind date? Go for it on the divine day, December 1.
