Aries Monthly Horoscope

It’s okay to exhale now, Aries. The summer and fall kept everyone on their toes, and last month’s two eclipses were a big part of the hubbub. Your relationships and finances got rocked by these supercharged lunar events—potentially in some fruitful ways!—and you may spend November integrating the changes. It was a lot to take in.

Good news: With the Sun and your ruler, driven Mars, both in Scorpio for the first three weeks of November, you’re in “focus mode,” able to put blinders on and filter out distractions. Scorpio rules your eighth house of intimacy, privacy and transformation. It’s the perfect time to hole up in your private cocoon and to process some of the major insights you’re having about yourself and what you truly need to feel fulfilled. 

Does that sound a little self-centered? Shouldn’t you be thinking about others, especially as the season of giving begins? Well, sure…but not at your own expense anymore. Your mantra for the rest of this year is “Happy Ram, happy fam.” 

Aries, you’re a self-sufficient soul, but at a certain point, we can all use pro-level support with our spiritual and emotional quests. On November 4, structured Saturn ends its nearly five-month retrograde in Pisces and your house of healing. If you’ve been holding up the world on your own two shoulders, reach out to the coaches, shamans, therapists and wise people of all titles now. Saturn rules experts, and you’ll feel so anchored when you find a few that can help you through this season of intense personal growth! With the karmic north node in Aries until January 2025, you’re morphing at warp speed.

Emerge from your pre-holiday hibernation on November 22, when the Sun shifts into Sagittarius and your expansive, adventurous ninth house. On November 24, your ruling planet, Mars, joins el Sol here, brightening your outlook and making you relentlessly positive. Talk about a 180-degree turnabout from the Scorpio season heaviness!

As eager as you may be to hit the road for some travel or spontaneous fun, you may not be able to do it instantly. Thanksgiving weekend could have a few scheduling challenges as Mars and Saturn lock horns in a testy 90-degree square. Guilt trips could be on the agenda, along with some extra baggage, if you don’t put up firm boundaries with loved ones who aren’t pulling their weight. Be clear and direct about what you need from everyone.

The month closes with a November 27 Gemini full moon in your communication house. And since it will be opposite confrontational Mars, some of your frustrations could come surging out. All the more reason to be as transparent as possible throughout November. You don’t want to end up in a shouting match or spending hours clearing the air. On the positive side, this full moon could be a great moment to market your services, connect with a kindred spirit or kick off holiday celebrations with your favorite friends at a lively local hotspot.
