Air Signs – Aquarius, Gemini, Libra

You’re resisting a chapter that’s ready to close, air signs. Your body may sense the shift before your mind catches up — you might not know exactly what’s coming, but you can feel it. This might be from seeds you planted earlier this year that you’ve forgotten about. It’s finally started to take root.
Don’t self-sabotage by pouring energy into people or situations that don’t pour back. November is the month to go inward, reflect, and tend to your needs — especially with Mercury retrograding on the 9th. Lean into it and trust that you’ll understand the next step when the time’s right.

Fire signs, is November the month where the messages from the past two months have finally clicked into place (see October and September)? It looks like you’re finally ready to stop chasing your own tail and release what’s been weighing you down. Now, the hesitance, the hurt — all valid. But that pattern, mindset, or attachment you’ve desperately been clinging to can’t come with you wherever you’re headed. Spirit has been bullying you in a lot of ways to fully face and deal with it.
Let the past stay in the past. Embrace the freedom of the unknown that lies ahead. This month is your chance to truly reclaim your power and stop carrying what was never yours to hold.

A new opportunity may have already arrived — or is on its way — but it might be coming right alongside the sting of a rejection for something you really wanted, which has created a weird emotional space. One where you’re grateful for what you have, but also frustrated that things didn’t turn out the way you hoped. You could find yourself questioning whether you want to even pursue this new opportunity at all because your heart isn’t fully in it.
But what if you consider that the thing you thought you wanted wasn’t actually the best fit? What if the door being opened for you is more in alignment with where you’re going? It’s okay to grieve what didn’t work out, but don’t let it turn into cynicism. There’s something to be excited about, but you’ll miss it if you stay too focused on what didn’t work out. Keep an open mind and let yourself be surprised.
Earth Signs – Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Seven of Pentacles + Five of Cups + Eight of Pentacles rx
Earth signs, you’re usually realistic about what it takes to reach your goals, but frustration may set in this month as you realize things are moving slower than expected. Your efforts have yielded minimal results or things are just not unfolding the way you’ve hoped. This doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It just means it’s time to pause and reassess.
There are two things to contend with: first, you may not be as prepared as you thought — and that’s okay. Humble yourself, and take the time to learn more and refine your approach. Second, missing a milestone doesn’t mean you’re off track. You’ve learned valuable lessons along the way. Take a step back to reconfigure and get your head back in the game.
