As we leave midterms behind and get into the real swing of fall, a new age of the stars is ushered in. In this time of change and remembering what we’re grateful for, the stars have an idea or two as to where your focus should lay this month. Sit down for your turkey, relax with a toddy, and hear the wise words of the stars and the cards:

Aries

Strong, passionate Aries, good news this month! The Emperor and The Star bring news of control, wisdom, and hope. You have a good head on your shoulders right now. You are in a position to take the lead and let your wisdom guide you. You’re coming into an age of hope and opportunity. You are in control, take your moment.

Taurus

Taurus the stubborn, buckle up and make sure that seat belt is tight. The Eight of Cups Reversed is about to take you on a wild ride. You may be feeling some confusion right now. While you know sometimes it’s best to just walk away, part of you wants to hold onto something even though it’s holding you back. You may be fearing the loss of what you have built. Instead of continuing to torture yourself by going back and forth, pause and ask, “What will really make me happy?”

Gemini

Sneaky Gemini, congratulations are in order. The Seven of Pentacles Reversed tells me you’ve been putting in a lot of hard work recently. While you’ve been grinding hard you may be starting to question if the rewards were worth the effort. You’re pushing through but you’re starting to wonder if there’s something else out there. Take a moment to breathe this month. Start to pay attention to how you feel in your body.

Cancer

Sweet baby, Cancer, I’ve got some good news! Choice, fantasy, and illusion are paying you a visit this month alongside their faithful conductor, the Seven of Cups. A range of choices is being presented to you. There are whispers of power, riches, and victory. While you begin to assess the path you will choose, remember danger lurks behind every corner. Be wise in your decisions. Don’t make them hastily.

Leo

Strong Leo, you’re being tested this month. The Tower delivers messages of pride getting in the way, sudden upheaval, and unfortunate disaster. Inevitable destruction and the breakdown of something you consider foundational may be on the horizon. This period may be hard, but remember there is always a bright side. As the danger subsides, you are able to uncover your resilience while growing anew like a phoenix from the ashes.

Virgo

Organized, hard-working, determined Virgo, things are starting to look up this November. The Five of Pentacles represents a period of isolation and recovery. After braving the storm, a moment alone is necessary to learn from the past and begin to grow. This period of solitude is needed so you can reemerge refreshed, ready for new things. Once your time of rest and relaxation is over, the Ace of Cups whispers of newfound love. Don’t rush, take your time, heal what’s within you. But remember to be open to new people and things.

Libra

Honest Libra, take it slow this month. The Hanged Man Reversed is bringing an air of sacrifice, release, and in some cases, martyrdom. You may find yourself needing to self-sacrifice this month. It is time to give back to those around you. Be still and try to listen to what others need. Sometimes one must take a step back from what their desires to continue moving forward.

Scorpio

Scorpio, Scorpio, oh passionate one, the Three of Pentacles Reversed is warning you of disorganization, lack of teamwork, and conflict this month. You are having trouble with camaraderie and collaboration right now. You may find yourself too wrapped up in your own head. It’s okay to step back and give yourself a moment to breathe before jumping right into dynamics you’re not yet ready for.

Sagittarius

Adventurous Sagittarius, things look good this month! Like dear sweet Cancer, the Seven of Cups is your guide. Choice, fantasy, and illusion are all around, offering an array of possibilities. While success, victory, and glory are in order, remember every decision has a yin to its yang. Think carefully before making anything final. Remember to weigh all the possibilities.

Capricorn

Hard-working, dedicated Capricorn, the King of Wands Reversed wants you to be careful this month. Warnings of impulsiveness, overbearance, and unachievable expectations are in the air. This King has the habit of veering on recklessness. Take a breath before making big decisions. You have big dreams but achieving them requires small baby steps. Enjoy the journey, the destination will always be there.

Aquarius

Eccentric, independent, quirky Aquarius, The Chariot Reversed is bringing in aggression with a lack of control and direction this hallowed November month. You may be at the mercy of two opposing forces. You are in a constant battle, fighting to be on top. You are losing control and have become the observer rather than the one leading the pack. Take this time to relearn understanding. You will soon be asked to define what it is you want out of life. Relearn to drive before getting back behind the wheel.

Pisces

Sweet baby empathetic Pisces, The Moon Reversed brings news of confusion, fear, and misinterpretation this month. As dreams and fantasies come out to play, reality and illusion become hard to separate. Confusion rolls in, fogging up all around. The truth becomes hard to see and hear. Let this November be a time of rest and relaxation. It’s okay to take a break from making big decisions.
