Are you ready to upgrade your home to all that you have always imagined it to be? Here's your chance, dear Leo. Your home, family, and other real estate decisions are about to form a big theme in November, and with so many planets coming together to help you, you may be amazed at how easily - and quickly - you can get things into place "just so."

Mercury was retrograde last month in this very same area, so you probably had a number of frustrating setbacks or delays, but those are now history. Mercury is about to go direct on November 1, so you will soon see the pace of your progress pick up. Still, you need to give a little space between the date Mercury goes direct and the date you begin to act. November 1 and 2 will still be filled with static and confusion, so it would be best to begin announcing decisions, making big purchases, and negotiating new deals from November 4 onward.

November 4 will be a strong and positive day, when Mars will send the mighty Sun a lovely vibe. The Sun is Leo's ruling star, so this day should help you find an option in a real estate or family-related dilemma. Use this day to view new housing spaces, furniture, or accessories, or to interview a new roommate, as a few examples.

November 7 may be a sparkling day, when the Sun and Uranus will trade secrets. Financial luck should excite you, especially in regard to real estate matters. You may get approved for a mortgage or home improvement loan, very suddenly and unexpectedly and at very attractive rates. Alternatively, on this day, you may win a small prize in a raffle or scratch off contest. See what happens. Do you feel lucky yet? You will!

Your most important moment of the month will occur when the new moon arrives November 9. This new moon will be fantastically friendly - unusually so - and will open up all the areas discussed so far: Home and real estate, along with other domestic decisions, can now be advanced and make you very happy.

This new moon on November 9 will set up a grand trine or golden triangle with Uranus in your mortgage / loan sector in your eighth house, and Mars in your confidential sector, twelfth house. Both planets will work with the Sun and new moon, November 9, in your fourth house of home and family. Suddenly all the impediments you've faced in solving a housing or real estate situation will drop away. Expect to get very lucky, very quickly.

You will have to be poised to work fast, however. Opportunity will arise quickly in the hours after November 9, but just as quickly, Mars will turn retrograde on November 15. I'd like you to take your most decisive home and family-related goal steps close to the appearance of that new moon. A new moon is a portal to a series of days, not just one day, so you have from November 9 to 14.

(Under normal conditions you'd have much more time than this, but Mars' impending retrograde will shorten that window of opportunity.)

Of these dates, November 12 will be your best for signing papers, or to buy or sell a house, choose furniture, or hire contractors - decisions like that. My runner-up choice would be over the weekend, November 10 - 11. I just love Jupiter's conjunction to the Sun on Monday, November 12, for you.

If you do make a decision in regard to property, whether to lease, buy, renovate, redesign, or repair, it appears this endeavor will beautifully upgrade your living situation on a very large scale. Next month Jupiter will make a monumental dock to Pluto, an event that will only happen once every thirteen years. It's coming - next month these two powerhouse planets will meet on December 11.

This is not a conjunction that would affect you only for a day or two, but rather Jupiter and Pluto, by joining in conjunction in fellow fire sign Sagittarius, will kick off a cycle that would affect you in a very positive way over the coming thirteen years. This aspect is massive in importance, potentially hugely profitable, and also enormously beneficial to you.

Jupiter and Pluto are meeting in your fifth house of creativity, but keep in mind that Pluto rules your solar fourth house of home. This tells me not only do you have an opportunity to vastly appreciate the value of your home, but also to put a strong creative imprint on your space as well. (Of course, Jupiter and Pluto may also bring you love, something we will talk about next month.) It sometimes takes weeks or months to feel the effect of such a powerful aspect. Slow moving planets like these often have to click off certain planets in your chart before their effects are felt.

You and I will talk more about this massively important conjunction in your December forecast. Other planets are speeding toward Sagittarius to be present when this monumental event occurs on December 11, including Venus, Mercury, the Sun, and new moon. This will be the most important event of 2007 - possibly of the whole decade. As said, these two planets will meet in your house of love and happiness, but also have bearing over your home, family, and real estate situation. Come back next month for more on this - it's all very, very good, dear Leo!

Your career is doing very well, and at the full moon late last month, October 26, there should have been a development. This month and next, emphasize your creativity and your imagination. Those will be the two keys to financial gain and prestigious advancement on the job. If you are in a creative profession or work as an actor, musician, or other one of the cultural arts, you'll find yourself in the right place at the right time. Give your all, down to your toes. You can make a very, very big name for yourself now - Jupiter and Pluto will see to it that you do.

Your best career days for showing off your brilliant creativity (and to get paid for it, too) will be November 4, 7, and 21.

If you are not satisfied with how your career has been going, look toward May as the month you will be able to make your best career change. Not only will you have an ideal new moon to hike you into a new professional realm but Mars will be in Leo then, too. Mars will see to it that you get your way and that you come across as compelling and confident. That's your timetable, so be ready!

A trip abroad or project that involves people at a distance could bring delays after Mars goes retrograde on November 15. Rather than become frustrated, rethink what you're trying to accomplish with this venture. Do the present facts now seem counter to your previous assumptions? It seems possible, so it's a good time to stop to course correct. The same part of your chart rules legal matters, publishing, and higher education; so alternatively, you may change your mind in regard to a goal in one of these areas.

At the full moon this month, November 24, you appear to be surrounded by friends. This full moon will fall over a holiday weekend in the United States, Thanksgiving. Although a strongly family holiday, it appears you will be seeing pals, too - you may be going to a wedding or other party and enjoying the chance to be among so many happy faces. Or, you may have an open house or fabulous cocktail party at your place. If you do it, you'll make it VERY festive, and your party will be filled with friends! It's the perfect time to entertain.

If your birthday falls on July 24, or within five days of that date, you will benefit and enjoy this full moon most.

Also over this weekend of November 24, Uranus will move out of retrograde (where it's been since June 24) to direct speed. Uranus is the natural ruler of your partnership house, so you should see excellent development in that area. Watch the days surrounding November 24 for some sort of development to pop up.

Let's say you and your boyfriend / girlfriend have been going out a long time, but not moving toward commitment for any reason. If there's been an obstacle, it will fall away, and you can now think about getting closer. This turn of Uranus direct may, alternatively, help you forge an important business alliance.

Romantically, if you are single, you will have some of the very best aspects you could ever imagine next month, in December. You already have powerful planets - Jupiter and Pluto - in your house of true love, and the Sun will enter this same fifth house area from November 21 onward, for a month's stay. You should find the full moon weekend of November 24 a lot of fun.

Your very best romantic days will fall in the last week: November 22 - 30

See how things go. You may feel you need the new moon, next month on December 9, to package all this extraordinary energy and send it into motion. If things aren't lively enough for you yet (they may be, but in case they are not), just you wait!

My goodness, dear Leo, you have some of the very best aspects possible! Promise me you'll circulate, for sure! Get your party clothes ready!

Summary

Moving house or working on a big home improvement project can be stressful. This month, however, domestic plans will fall almost effortlessly into place. The caveat is that you look at options just after the new moon, November 9, for that's when your domestic luck will shine brightest. Beautiful, chic selections that are also affordable should make you ecstatic. Even though the holidays are almost upon you, you can find the time to order your choices. It will be fun to see how quickly you are able to transform your space.

Money should not be a problem. Indeed, when it comes to home-related plans, you seem to have the Midas touch in November. If you aim to buy or renovate property, lucky you - a kind banker seems to be standing by to help you find the funds you need at surprisingly attractive rates. Life can't always be this upbeat, but this month, after November 9, it will feel that way!

With all the emphasis on perfecting your inner space in November, you may feel more like entertaining your friends there. If so, plan a brunch or dinner party for the weekend of November 24 - Thanksgiving in America. If you don't feel like cooking, cater your party instead. There's an equal chance that on November 24 or 25 you'll be attending a wedding or other large celebration. See how it all works out!

Your career life will be very busy, too. If you have a creative job, start a new project this month. If you do, you should find that you easily win client approval, one that will allow you to pocket a lucrative fee to boot. This month it's clear your best profits will be earned through displaying the full scope of your imagination. Although the whole month will show this theory in action, you'll see the most obvious proof of this on these days: November 4, 7, and 21.

Romantically, your only problem will be to decide how to handle all the admiring attention you'll stir up this month. Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, is currently in your house of true love and orbiting close to Pluto, a powerful aspect. After November 22, the Sun will add fire and light to this magical conversation between Jupiter and Pluto.

At the same time, as said, the full moon will light your friendship sector on November 24, so it seems you will cross the threshold of a fantastically social holiday season at that time. In fact, this year should bring your very best romantic and social season in memory. (Planetary aspects this extraordinary arrive but once in a lifetime!) Your romantic experiences should grow even more enchanting by December. This is as good as it gets!
