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.

November finds you enthusiastic about your future, and rightly so! You're known to be an ambitious career soul, but in the first two weeks of November you will act more like a social Libra butterfly than the hardworking career Capricorn that we all know and love. You can afford to let down your hair a little-October emphasized your career, so now it's time for a little change.

In the first ten days of November, plan to spend time seeing friends, sharing confidences, and catching up with life's little details. Lunches and dinners that you book with friends will be time well spent. Plan a few nights out. You deserve a little fun!

Venus will enter Capricorn for the first time this year on November 12, stay until December 7, and will be a marvelous influence. By slowing down just a little, you will be able to get yourself in the mood for the coming holidays. Start thinking about the various outfits you'll need for the holiday parties you'll be attending. Venus will help you find flattering things.

You will want to be out and about, too, because Venus will work to increase your magnetism and get you noticed! It looks like you'll get a flurry of holiday invitations soon, so many that you may have to pick and choose among them!

When Pluto settles into Capricorn on November 27, it will mark a monumental moment, for Pluto will remain in your sign for the next 15 years! As astounding as this sounds, the last time Pluto visited Capricorn, it was during the span of years 1762 to 1777, which was the time of the American Revolution.

Why did it take so long for Pluto to return? It takes Pluto 246 years to make a complete revolution around the Sun, so once Pluto does move into a sign, he stays many years. That makes Pluto one of the most powerful planets in our solar system (even if he is a little dwarf planet) because staying so long, Pluto experiences tend to be indelible. No one alive today has any experience with Pluto in Capricorn, and that's exciting, and doubly so for you because you ARE a Capricorn!

What can Pluto do for you? Pluto is considered the planet of transformation, so if you want to transform any part of your life, you will now have long, sustained, and very gradual, encouraging help. You may redo your looks, your health or body shape, your finances, your career path, your love life-pick one or two and get started! Of course, you have to work at this, but for the first time in your life, you will have amazing support, the likes of which you've never had before.

Networking now will yield you many new contacts, and among them may be someone you'll want to get to know better. You may even meet a savvy older person, a person who will offer to be a mentor or advisor to your professional progress. You may want to consider agreeing to this offer, for this person would turn out to be a jewel to you.

Intellectually, with Saturn, your ruler, so well angled to Jupiter in Capricorn, you know your ideas are sound, and you may be ready to take them global. Good! You are thinking big, and rightly so. This is a magical time for you, dear Capricorn.

One of your first outstanding days of the month will occur on Monday, November 10, when a friend or group you belong to will become quite helpful to you, so much so that you may be deeply touched. If you are born on January 7, or within five days of this date, you should certainly be happy with a phone call from a friend, or a development that occurs at this time. Your friends adore you and it shows!

Romantically, an enchanting experience could easily be coming up for you at the full moon, November 13, plus or minus four days. That full moon will be the only one of the year to light your house of true love. It is so special that it could prove to be one of your favorite moments of the season or possibly of the year!

If you are single, you may meet someone new over this full moon period of November 13. If you are attached (or married), this full moon could bring on a truly beautiful social event, one not to miss. It would allow you to enjoy your partner in a way you have not been able to in weeks or months. Fun with your children could also be part of this full moon period, and if so, it would prove to be a memorable high point of the year. If your child is older, he or she may come home with VERY good news.

You may travel unexpectedly at this November 13 full moon, too, continuing into the weekend of November 15-16. If so, it would be an enjoyable, small, quick trip, and the chemistry between you and the person you go with would be terrific. This full moon will send a lovely vibe to your ruling planet, Saturn, and to Jupiter, the planet of gifts and luck, so this could add up to be a truly memorable moment for you.

Are you born on or within five days of January 10? Then this full moon will be calling your name. All Capricorns will have something to celebrate, and you, doubly so.

I should add that no matter what your birthday, you might wind up spending more money than planned over this full moon period November 13-16. Go ahead, do it, and when you do, be sure to enjoy your small indulgence. Saturn, Uranus, and Jupiter will be in rare sync with the Sun, so the fun experience you have at this time may translate into a magical moment and the start of something bigger.

Speaking of money, now that Neptune, ruler of your solar second house of money, is turning direct on November 2 after months of being retrograde, you will make better progress in getting a raise or an improved compensation package in the months ahead. Late January and February '09 look particularly bright for increasing your income dramatically. This month, you may get exciting financial news as soon as November 7-10.

Your career will have several wonder-moments this month. Where you have been working on a creative project, you will see a fine finish to it within three days of the full moon, November 13. You will have plenty to be proud of at the time! (Please see the summary for an extra note involving your career in December.)

Uranus will challenge Saturn on November 4 in a major dialogue that will begin this month and be repeated twice in 2009, February 4 and September 15, and twice more as these oppositions continue on April 26 and July 26, 2010.

You could not find two planets more opposite in nature. Uranus is all about innovation, rebellion, and the breaking of old structures. Saturn is a conservative planet that preserves what is of value from the past.

Now that these two planets will be in 180 degree opposition, there will be a great opportunity to move forward assertively, but all the while mindful that you must not throw out the baby with the bathwater. Innovate yes, but not at the price of tossing out everything you've achieved. As a society, we will have this meditation, and many will have this discussion on a personal level, too. Your ruling planet is Saturn, so you may feel this aspect more directly.

These two planets will have their dialogues in your two houses of opinion and learning, so you may feel a need to revise or update a long held attitude or opinion. You may have been true to a certain belief for years, but much to your surprise, your loyalty to that principle may now seem to be of little or lesser value, in the light of emerging information and your increased maturity.

It is clear your perspective will change through the coming years, but it not clear why or how. It may be that previously you were focused on one small part of the mosaic and failed to see the larger picture. You will see it now. Or, it may be that the larger picture has gradually changed, but being busy, you didn't notice until now.

It may also be that as you come close to seeing victory on certain priorities that you've held, it's time to draw up new goals or reshuffle the deck of priorities, put them in a new order. There are many possibilities, but what matters is that you will be flexible and open to new ideas, and you will filter all this in a way that feels right for you in the era you are in now.

The second half of November will find you in a quiet, solitary mode. While the first half of November will have you buzzing from flower to flower, the second half will find you contemplating the beauty of one or two individual blooms. In other words, you'll go from external to internal-there's a world of beauty in both, but now you seem intent on plumbing your depths in preparation for your new year.

You will be reflective and philosophical, and that's precisely the way you should be one month prior to your birthday. Before the Sun moves into Capricorn, spend a little time thinking about what you hope for your year ahead. Thinking is always the more important part of the equation that leads to action.

You have a cornucopia of wonder aspects this month, and here is one of several big ones. On November 21, Jupiter, giver of gifts and luck, will send a golden beam to Saturn, your guardian planet. This sweet conversation between Saturn and Jupiter only happens rarely-the next time these two powerhouse planets will have a similar discussion will be July 2012!

Rare aspects are always felt more strongly than commonplace ones, for they stand out, and November 21, and the days leading to this day, will show you in no uncertain terms the reasons you should be optimistic about your future. This would be a fine time either to open talks or to finalize a deal, confident that you are standing on firm ground and heading in the right direction. This day is solid gold, dear Capricorn.

Any venture related to publishing, broadcasting, university teaching or study, or having to do with international relationships or charities will do exceptionally well for you, too, on or near November 21.

The month will end on a spectacular aspect, one that comes only once a year, a meeting of Venus and Jupiter. Every year these two planets choose a different constellation to meet in, and this year they will meet in Capricorn. Wow!

Venus and Jupiter will meet in Capricorn on November 30-December 1, but you will feel the energy building as early as November 28. Adding to this beautiful aspect will be a lovely interaction between Venus and Uranus, planet of surprise, on November 28. Wow, what a way to end the month! You should go out Friday, November 28-you could have quite an exciting, romantic evening!

Venus rules your house of true love, so her interplay with Jupiter on November 30 and December 1 will bring you another divine evening for your personal life. You may fall in love or rekindle love in a way that it feels brand new at month's end. You may get engaged or make big plans for the future. Whatever occurs during this period, November 28-December 1 seems to bring on a warm and loving experience, and it may all happen in quite a luxurious setting.

Venus rules your natural tenth house of honors, fame, and career achievement too, so you can expect to hear some out-of-this-world news about your professional life at the same time. It could represent a stunning breakthrough. Dear Capricorn, this is amazing! You have worked hard, now this moment will be a time of substantial reward. It looks like a four star moment that thrills you to your toes!

At month's end, see about your appearance, too. Do whatever you like: change your hair, buy new clothes, or pamper yourself with a massage or other spa treatment over November 30-December 1. Whatever you do you'll say that these special days were simply heavenly!

Summary

The main point about this month is to know that the first part will be deliciously social, the second part a little quieter, giving you peaceful time to think, plan, and reflect on your future.

In the first two weeks, network and show your face to the world. November 10 will be a lovely day when everything should go your way. It would be a great day to ask a friend for a favor, but you may not have to! It seems your friend will do something for you, without ever being asked. You'll be grateful to have a friend who cares about you so much and looks after you in such a nurturing way.

The full moon on November 13, plus or minus four days, will be exquisitely tender. It could mark one of the most romantic moments of the year! If you are single, you may meet someone new, or if you are dating someone now, experience a thrillingly romantic evening.

This full moon falls in fellow earth sign Taurus, a sensual, luxury-loving sign that will be just perfect for creating a setting for exchanging sweet thoughts and sentimental words.

You may travel over this full moon too (extending into the weekend of November 15-16) and if so, it'll be a great time to go.

Financially, you soon will be enjoying an improved picture, now that Neptune is turning direct on November 2, and Uranus, ruler of your earned income house, will do the same on November 27.

If you have worked hard and feel you deserve a raise, and your requests have been to no avail since late May and June, the reason that things have remained so deadlocked might have been because you've lacked cosmic support. Now, with the move of Neptune and Uranus moving to stronger direct speed, you have a much better chance at getting your raise. Actually, 2009 should be sensational for earning more money, especially at the end of January and into February!

Keep working hard. In fact, the seeds you plant in 2008 will have direct bearing on the profits you see in 2009. You have two more months before that first phase ends, so hurry and see the influential people you need in order to lift off your new ventures in 2009. This month your friends will help open those doors, so if you need help, ask. Trust that in 2009 you will be rewarded for all your efforts. In the months ahead you will hear me talk much more about your fine financial aspects!

Pluto's move into Capricorn on November 27 will see that you become a force to be reckoned with in years to come. Pluto will remain in Capricorn for 15 years! This planet is known to be one that helps in transformations of all kinds, in regard to health, career, your appearance, money, and other areas. If you feel that one part of your life needs a redo, you'll have that chance to make it happen, and you'll do it the right way, slowly, brick by brick. Changes you make will be the right ones, and best of all, they will last!

There is one cloud on the horizon that I did not touch on in the main body of your report, so I will mention it here. On the full moon next month, December 12, a work project will come to a culmination, but due to hard aspects associated with this full moon, you may find it to be a very tense time. I mention it because it falls so close to Christmas and Hanukkah. I am not sure if you'll find it hard to complete the project because of time restraints, or because coworkers will be missing in action or be cranky and uncooperative. Something seems to be up at the office, and it appears to be giving you a lot of tension.

My advice is that you get your holiday shopping and shipping done in November, and no later than December 9. Once that full moon delivers its message (possibly as early as December 10 or as late as December 16), you will need to give whatever is happening at your office your full attention. You seem to be thinking about whatever comes up over the ensuing weekend, December 13-14, too. I feel you may not be able to complete your holiday list of things to do, as this full moon will be a very jarring and distracting influence.

December 12 is a popular time to ship packages at the post office, so plan to ship no later than December 9. If you have children and other family members depending on you to make the holiday fun, knowing this full moon will be stressful will urge you to clear your calendar prior to December 12. Fortunately, by the time the holidays come by, gradually you will be able to regain your sense of balance, but for a while, some of the time you thought you had to get ready for the holiday will disappear into a black hole.

Your solar sixth house will be activated, so it's possible that you will not be feeling as energetic as you normally do, or that you will be susceptible to colds and flu. Last year I got the flu on December 15 and saw my holiday start to unravel before my eyes, all the while feeling helpless. This year I went for my flu shot early (it takes three weeks to work), and I will also put up my Christmas tree on December 6, a good deal earlier than usual.

Everyone of every sign will feel the fallout of this angry full moon December 12. Keep in mind that this full moon will be in Gemini, not Capricorn, so you may not feel the effects as strongly as the mutable signs of Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo and Pisces. Even so, you may feel pulled off course for a few days, and those may be days you desperately need to get things done at holiday time!

Going back to my discussion of November, I am so happy to report you have two sensational aspects at November's end.

The first, coming November 28, will be an interplay of Venus-in-Capricorn with Uranus, planet of surprise, sure to bubble up romantic fun and chance encounters!

Then will come the most divine aspect, Venus and Jupiter, both in Capricorn, set to meet over November 30-December 1. Together they will waltz across the star-studded sky! While Venus and Jupiter, the great benefic planet, meet once a year, it takes 12 years for them to meet in Capricorn! This will be a four-star day, one made just for love and fun for you.

Use November 30 and December 1 for any purpose you please. You can see sensational romantic developments on this day, and you can also do something to improve your looks, with great success. You can expect to see a major career victory come your way, too! Venus rules not only your love life, but also your tenth house of career status and success! Dear Capricorn, you have it all.

Dates to note this month:

Enjoy a full social life with friends: November 1-10

Take a quick trip with a pal if you like: November 8-11

Romance is heavenly, one of your best of 2008 at the full moon in your true love sector on November 13. (Operative plus or minus 4 days.)

News or an idea from a friend has you excited: November 15-16.

Financial prospects are brightening from November 2 onward this month, but particularly from November 7 to 11.

Take it slow and easy, and pursue creative projects and hobbies from November 16 through December 31. This theme will really pick up steam after the new moon, November 27, plus two weeks.

Solitude, reflection and working on creative ideas alone pay off: November 27 plus two weeks

It's birthday time, and you're feeling especially positive about life, and with good reason! With Mars still tearing through Scorpio at a rapid, strong orbit, you are in your element and feeling your oats. You've got an aura of authority that is commanding and confident - and sexy, too!

Mars will help you get your way until November 16, so you'll need to get busy during November's first half to catch this lovely energy. Draw up plans, present them, and sit down with clients and other influential people. If ever you were to get an affirmative answer, it will be this month in the first two weeks.

The new moon that appeared on October 28 was a superb one, and one of the friendliest of the year. This new moon was the green light to begin to launch big projects and to meet with others to get support. Rarely have you seen this level of cosmic support! If your birthday falls on October 28 or within five days of this date, you will be doubly fortunate, for your whole year will be filled with lots of news and fresh starts. 2009 won't be any old year, but one you will likely remember for all the things you set in motion.

Your love life has had more twists and turns than a rollercoaster, and although this month may bring more of the same, you also may get a number of truly encouraging signs that finally your love life is due to change and head in the right direction.

Neptune RULES your house of true love and Uranus is currently traveling IN this same sector. This means that both planets have a large bearing on how your love life will proceed. The problem has been that both Neptune and Uranus have been in lethargic retrograde mode for months, moving backward for a very long time.

If you are single and frustrated with your love life, you know why! You probably felt like you were walking through glue. It was hard to see any progress, even if you tried hard to fix things. If you are in an established relationship, you may have gone 'round and 'round on certain issues, but not really ending up where you wanted things to go. You may have felt that your relationship was either stagnating or worse - that there was no hope you'd ever come to any sort of firm agreement on anything. Be of good cheer, dear Scorpio - now you will! Neptune turns direct on November 3 and Uranus turns direct on November 27, so this is all good news for you, and a signal you should try, try, try again.

The full moon, November 13, could bring a joyous moment when an engagement or "coming together" between two souls proves magical. Your ability to communicate what's in your heart will come easily, and those feelings will be tenderly returned. A discussion about future children could also come up or care for a child you have now. If you aren't serious about anyone just yet, you can use the energies of this full moon to form business associations too, with equally fine results.

This full moon will be a very big, important moment in your time line, doubly so if you were born on or within five days of November 13. If this is the time of the month when you were born, you will find that this year brings a culmination of much of what you have been working on. Next year, after this birthday year is done, your life will be filled with many fresh starts, for you will have accomplished so much this year.

When it comes to your career, you will do so well this month you may want to pinch yourself to be sure you aren't dreaming. Watch November 10, for on that day you'll hit a stroke of luck - quite unexpectedly. Watch for a gate to suddenly swing open for you, one that has always been very firmly padlocked shut! This would be a superb day to schedule key meetings, for you'd likely reach accord or get approvals. When you're hot, you're hot, and this day, you are that and more!

You will enter into a high spending period from November 16 onward, but it could be for things you expected to buy - for example, holiday gifts or a tuition payment you know is coming up.

Be careful about all your spending however, because I see a very difficult full moon in your financial house of credit and loans coming up next month on December 12, plus or minus three days. At that time, I feel you will have to write a large check, and it may be quite a bit larger than you ever expected. The way to deal with this is to spread out purchases this month. Of course, holiday gifts would have to be purchased now, but if there is something else you don't absolutely need for yourself, see if you can put off buying it until December.

These days, everyone needs to find ways to make more money. Here's your moment to speak up for a raise or to negotiate for a new job: at the new moon November 27 and two weeks that follow it. That new moon couldn't be better. So while it seems you will have high costs this month, you can find a way to bring in more cash, but you will have to speak up. The new moon of November 27 is your best of the year, so do make an initiation, even if you are a bit hesitant about doing so. The time to get more income is at hand, dear Scorpio.

Jupiter rules your house of earned income, and will be in perfect angle to Saturn in late November, indicating that you CAN find ways to batten down the hatches and find a way to come out of the red and into the black side of the ledger. These two planets will make an exact aspect on November 21, a great day for financial talks and presentations. However, your big moment will come after the new moon, one week later, November 27, because that's what new moons do - they open a path. Speak up at month's end for a better salary and you will be glad you did.

Travel to a nearby location is indicated too this month, and it sure would be fun. See if you can take a short weekend trip over the November 29-30 weekend (even extending your short trip into Monday, December 1). With Venus kissing Jupiter, you could not have stars twinkling more brightly for you.

One other thing is happening this month, something that is due to have a monumentally positive effect on your future. Pluto, your ruler, is about to move into Capricorn on November 25, a very supportive place for you. Pluto has never been in Capricorn during your lifetime, as Pluto takes 246 years to circle the Sun. Once in your third house, Pluto will not leave for another 15 years!

Pluto is known to be the planet that digs deep and helps us plumb our depths. Once in your third house of the mind, you are likely to see your concentration and focus sharpen considerably in the coming years. Your ability to do thorough, deep, and exacting research will be awesome. An example would be doing award winning investigating reporting, say, like Woodward and Bernstein did for Watergate, or the kind of digging a prosecutor would do in preparation for a very big and complicated court case.

When it comes to coming up with hidden information you will be unmatched, and your skill at this will only improve impressively in the years ahead. If you hope to write a book about a part of life that interests you, you will have all the staying power you need to do a very comprehensive study and contribute a lot of new information to the field. It's something to think about, isn't it, dear Scorpio. I will be talking more about this important development in weeks, months, and years to come, but for now, think about how you can use Pluto's new home in your chart to your benefit. This is all so exciting, isn't it, dear Scorpio?

Summary

Your birthday month will prove to be all you want it to be! Because some of your strongest and most powerful cosmic support will occur at the very start of the month, you should launch your biggest initiatives the moment November begins. The new moon that occurred last month, on October 28, was your green light to go, go, go. Some new moons are good, some are bad, but this one is SENSATIONAL for you. Don't drop the ball!

Early month would also be a good time to see if you can meet someone new if you are single. Mars is in Scorpio, increasing your visibility and making you much sexier to others. Also, Neptune rules your house of true love, and Neptune's been retrograde since the end of May. Neptune will turn forward on November 2. That's all very good news.

In case you needed more encouragement, Neptune may rule your fifth house of true love, but Uranus is IN that house. The combination of these two planets is the reason you've had so many ups and downs in your love life. The fact that Uranus is FINALLY moving head (after being in sleepy retrograde mode since the end of June) is really good news, too.

Something else is going on that I didn't mention earlier, but will now. Saturn and Uranus will precisely oppose one another on November 4, starting a dialog that will continue in 2009 and 2010 as well. The future oppositions include February 5, 2009; September 15, 2009; April 26, 2010; July 26, 2010; and December 5, 2010. This suggests you will be able to end unproductive patterns in the way you've chosen romantic partners (that is, if you have had difficulty in the past.)

If you are in love and planning to get engaged for the holidays, you or your partner will likely to pop the question on the full moon November 13, plus or minus four days. It would be a fantastic time of the month for promising your love to each other.

You can use this full moon November 13 for other purposes too - with a grand triangle of planets supporting your moves, you can move ahead with an important business alliance, collaboration, or joint venture. It would likely be ready for your signature, and because Mercury is no longer retrograde as it was in October, you can sign your name, confident this would be a great time to do so.

Your spending will increase once Mars, your secondary ruler, visits Sagittarius from November 16 to December 26. Be careful because next month's full moon, December 12 will not be a friendly one for anyone, and for you, it will bring to culmination some sort of matter involving credit or loans. You may find yourself in a jam because that full moon will bring unexpected developments. If you can space out expenditures that are optional, do so. I am so sorry to have to report this news, for I understand how expensive the holidays are for everyone and nobody likes to feel constrained by budgets at this time of the year. I truly sympathize and even wondered if I should tell you this month.

Fortunately, this month, the new moon that will come by earlier, on November 27, will be a blessing because the two weeks that follow will offer you your very best opportunity of all of 2008 to get a raise or a better salary for a new job. It is unlikely that you will get a raise without asking for it, so gather up your courage and do! You deserve more, dear Scorpio, and I feel your timing will be excellent. While you have such a good chance of getting it, strike while the iron is hot!

Your best romantic days to go out and have fun: November 7, 8, 9, 10, 12-16, 20, 24, 25 and 28.

Finally, if you can take a weekend away on November 29-30, do. Venus only meets with Jupiter once a year, and when they do, it spells a time to enjoy luxury and fun. All kinds of positive results will occur, and if you like, you can extend things through December 1.
