Add these dates to your calendar:
You’re busier than ever, Gemini! Scorpio season gives you the motivation to tackle everything on your to-do list. You might feel pulled in a million directions: At work, you could be put in charge of a big project, while a loved one is asking for more support in your private life. You’ll want to show up for everyone, but this can leave you exhausted. Setting boundaries around your time and energy can be a game-changer!
Luckily, the month starts off with a New Moon in Scorpio on November 1 that helps you rework your daily habits. Remember, your everyday decisions impact your overall wellbeing. If there’s a pattern or behaviour you’re ready to let go of, now’s the time! Other people can’t seem to get enough of your wisdom and guidance once Mercury enters Sagittarius on November 2. The people closest to you might rely on you for advice or maybe you want to spend one-on-one time with the people who matter most. Couples may discuss the future or plan an exciting trip, and singles might start to consider looking for a long-term partner. New clients and contracts can also find you over the next few weeks.
Your finances are a source of tension when Mars in Cancer faces off with Pluto in Capricorn on November 3. Maybe a job ends abruptly or you’re dealing with a toxic boss. Jealousy and projection can also come up. It may be easy to obsess over what someone else has, which can leave you feeling upset and resentful. A challenging or frustration situation could require you to shell out some cash—maybe your refrigerator breaks or your car needs new tires.
Venus and Jupiter, the two luckiest planets in the sky, meet later that same day. Whatever happens, you’re feeling grateful and supported in your close relationships. Some Geminis may get engaged meet the right person at the right time! Mars, the planet of anger and drive, enters Leo on the same day. Over the next few weeks, you’re tasked with speaking your mind and protecting your peace. Setting boundaries, especially with relatives and close friends, may be required. You might also find yourself getting in more debates or disagreements.
You can’t escape your hidden desires when Venus, the planet of connection, enters Capricorn on November 11. This can be a fun time to explore your kinks and fantasies with someone you trust. You’re reflecting on the longevity of your relationships, as well as the reciprocity. Are those closest to you filling your cup, or are you giving away all you’ve got? This can also be a positive time for your finances: You’re making wise investments and paying down credit cards or debt.
The Full Moon in Taurus on November 15 helps you end a cycle and process your feelings. An ending is near and this can bring up feelings of loss and grief, even if it’s a person or situation you know you need to move on from. If you’ve been overextending yourself, you might reach a breaking point. This Full Moon helps you redefine your relationship with rest. Remember, you can’t keep pushing forward if you don’t take time to care for yourself. Pay attention to your dreams; intuitive messages are abundant and easy to access right now.
Pluto, the planet of crisis and catharsis, moves into Aquarius on November 19, prompting you to think deeply. Your perspective and belief system may transform over this 20-year cycle. You can gain power, healing, and recognition by using your voice. You could also decide to go back to school or learn something new that feels life-changing in some way.
The Sun enters Sagittarius on November 21 and your focus is back on your closest connections. This Sagittarius season, couples are ready to take the next step together—or call it quits if they’ve reached an impasse. You might notice that others are paying attention to you and maybe even trying to compete. If this is the case, engage in some protective work proactively to ward off any haters! Collaborations are big right now and new opportunities and clients can enter your sphere.
Mercury Retrograde begins in Sagittarius on November 25, putting issues with prominent people in your life under the spotlight. Repressed resentment and frustrations bubble to the surface to address. While this energy can feel temporarily uncomfortable, it can help you find a more solid foundation for the future or help you recognise where you’re better off moving on altogether. Out of the entire zodiac sign, you’ll be the one dealing with exes the most! Old lovers may reach out, or maybe you find yourself thinking or dreaming about someone from your past. Old relationship wounds and dynamics can also resurface, encouraging you to confront any unhealthy patterns.
You’re having fun with your loved ones and making progress on plans when the Sun in Sagittarius teams up with Mars in Leo on November 27. The energy is social and encourages self-expression. Put your thoughts, desires, and ideas out there! The month winds down with a new moon in Sagittarius on November 30. This helps you redefine your relationships and recognise who is worthy of your time, energy, and emotional investment moving forward. A new chapter for your love life begins to unfold!

Zodiac compatibility, explained
VENUS IN ARIES (MARCH 21–APRIL 19)
If your Venus is in the sign of Aries, you need to feel loved and inspired to be happy. And, when it comes to romance, you’re torn between wanting to stay safe and nurtured and wanting something a little more adventurous. You’re most compatible with someone who has their Venus in Leo and in Sagittarius. ‘Because they’re fire signs—like Aries—they’re going to be fun to be with, and they’ll feed your flame,’ Page explains. That means you’ll (almost) never have a dull moment together…even after decades of marriage.
But, of course, opposites attract, too. If you’re looking for a hot fling, not an LTR, go for someone with their Venus in Libra.
VENUS IN LEO (JULY 23–AUGUST 22)
You want recognition for being special, Leo, and there’s nothing wrong with that. You believe life should be exciting, and that includes your love life (duh). So, your best bet at astrological romance is with another fire sign, Venus in Sagittarius and in Aries.
Believe it or not, your opposite isn’t a water sign. It’s an air sign: Venus in Aquarius. While you might think a lot of sparks will fly between fire signs, there’s ‘a whole lot of spark’ between these two, says Page. Since air signs are all about intellectual connection, an Aquarius can bring a lack of competition to the relationship and help you explore new ideas.
VENUS IN SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22–DECEMBER 21)
You’re inspired by knowledge and new ideas, Venus in Sagittarius. You always want to try something exciting and different—with someone equally on board by your side. You’ll find just that in fellow fire signs, Venus in Aries and in Leo, according to Page.
When it comes to opposites attracting, keep an eye on Venus in Gemini. They’re an air sign, so you might run into conflict when they’re not down to try every crazy, exciting thing you throw their way before thinking it through. Still, if you can nail an intellectual connection, your sexual one will be Off. The. Charts.
FIRE SIGN & FIRE SIGN
Those with their Venus sign in Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius all bring the heat as fire signs. Together, they’re passionate, forward, and direct in their approach to love, Clervoix says. If you’re both fire signs, you’ll be great at taking initiative with each other, while also keeping up the facade of the ‘chase’ that can make relationships sexy and exciting.
In short, you both have a tolerance for a bit of game play when paired together. ‘It’s all about the pursuit,’ Clervoix says. ‘They want the energy from the other person to stir something up in them,’ she says. Basically, fire signs aren’t shy about what they want, and they want someone who is action-oriented and will put in the effort they find attractive.
VENUS IN GEMINI (MAY 21–JUNE 20)
You’re not always sure what you need, Venus in Gemini, so you often look for experience and guidance in an S.O. You crave a mental connection based on communication, so you’ll be most compatible with your fellow air signs: Venus in Libra and in Aquarius.
If you’re looking for sparks to fly, your opposite attraction sign is Venus in Sagittarius. Just be ready for those sparks to flame out after you don’t see eye-to-eye on one too many topics.
VENUS IN LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23–OCTOBER 22)
Those with their Venus in Libra are the astrological equivalent of ‘good texters.’ You want intellectual stimulation and communication all day, every day, according to Page. So you need someone who thinks like you—and will always return your texts—a.k.a. your fellow air signs, Venus in Aquarius and in Gemini.
On the flip side, your opposite attraction sign is fiery Venus in Aries. They have a strong ego and will bring excitement to your relationship—the bennies of which you’ll reap in the bedroom, trust. Just know that a gust of wind (in the form of intellectual differences, for example) could snuff out this flame.
VENUS IN AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20–FEBRUARY 18)
You want to express your uniqueness and be accepted for who you really are, Venus in Aquarius, which may or may not explain why you like talking—a lot. You need a sign that can keep up with your intellect, which is why you’re most compatible with your fellow bags of hot air, Venus in Gemini and in Libra, says Page.
When it comes to opposite zodiac signs, you probably won’t be able to resist someone with fire sign Venus in Leo. You’re both independent and have a desire to help others. But that, combined with a fire sign’s need for near-constant excitement, can leave you feeling lonely if you don’t spend enough time focusing on each other.
AIR SIGN & AIR SIGN
If your Venus is Aquarius, Gemini, or Libra, you’re most compatible with your fellow air signs. You all share the same energy and spirit—usually one that’s very self-sufficient and independent. And since two air signs in Venus will understand this about each other, that makes them a great love match, Clervoix says.
And yep, air signs are also very communicative, which means that together, they are able to easily talk about the needs and conflicts they might have without straight-up breaking things off at the first sign of trouble, Clervoix notes. They’re also quite logical, though, so odds are most fights will resolve without a need to hash a ton out anyway.
FIRE SIGN & AIR SIGN
While the same elements are typically drawn to each other, there are other pairs that make a particularly good Venus match: Like fire and air, for example, who have the ability to be a flirty, fun, and dynamic pair, Clervoix says.
Passionate fire signs often need a physical outlet to express their energy, and they tend to be pretty outward-focused. This is what makes air signs a great match for fire signs, says Mesa. “Air provides the logic, the same way how when we breathe, we get oxygen to the mind,” she explains. When a fire sign is agitated and is compelled to act out, their air sign partner will provide them with logic and calm to help them in the right direction, Mesa says.
WATER SIGN & WATER SIGN
People with their Venus in Pisces, Cancer, or Scorpio are water signs, and if you get two of ’em together, odds are there’s going to be a *lot* of emotions present in this duo. TBH, water signs are known for having a lot of depth to their feelings, Clervoix says, so when they get into a relationship together, there’s a lot of space for them to understand each other’s (many) passions.
Basically, it’ll be lots of long talks and safe spaces to work through all the ~deep feels~ that come up when you’re dating someone—and they’re kind of better equipped to handle each other than any of the other elements, Mesa says.
VENUS IN CANCER (JUNE 21–JULY 22)
If your Venus is in Cancer, you have a lot of emotions—and you’re not afraid to share them with a partner. “Water signs need to have their feelings understood,” says Page. And who better to understand a water sign’s feelings than another aquatic? That’s why you’re most compatible with Venus in Pisces and in Scorpio. (Especially Scorpios—their strength, intensity of emotions, and ability to surrender sexually is really hot for you.)
If you’re looking to knock boots with an opposite sign, hit up a Venus in Capricorn. They’re an earth sign, so together you can create a whole new world… as long as you don’t end up muddying the waters (sorry, had to).
VENUS IN SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23–NOVEMBER 21)
You dig intensity, perseverance, and strength, so you need an equal partner in life, Venus in Scorpio. You feel deeply and want to share your emotions with someone you trust wholeheartedly, says Page. That’s why she recommends finding love with other water signs, Venus in Pisces and in Cancer. They just ~get~ you.
Your opposite sign is Venus in Taurus, an earth sign. They can help ground you in a relationship, but they might not completely understand how you’re feeling (sigh). Still, whenever you get into arguments, you can always depend on some seriously hot makeup sex, says Page.
VENUS IN PISCES (FEBRUARY 19–MARCH 20)
You can struggle to feel anchored in this world, Venus in Pisces, which is why you need someone who understands—and validates—your feelings. You’re all about having an emotional connection, says Page, so you need a partner that prioritises that, too. Enter your fellow water signs, Venus in Cancer and in Scorpio.
Your opposite attraction sign is Venus in Virgo, an earth sign that will likely help you ground some of those feels. Your sexual connection will be undeniable, but things might get a bit, uh, rocky when it comes to your emotional connection. Earth signs love being cozy and comfortable, but an in-depth heart-to-heart isn’t always as important to them. It’ll be up to you whether you’ll want to get over that…or over them.
EARTH SIGN & EARTH SIGN
Like the other elements, those with their Venus in Capricorn, Virgo, and Taurus—a.k.a. the earth signs—tend to gravitate toward each other. ‘They have that emotional stability,’ Mesa says, and like the actual element itself, they’re very ‘grounded’ as a couple. (Translation: Not a ton of outbursts and door-slamming kinda fights in this duo.)
‘Earth is very tangible, and it’s all about the here and now,’ Mesa explains. Basically, this pair is going to value the personal time they have together, and when they’re with each other, it’s all about the relationship. They’re not vying for the other’s attention 24/7 because they already have it!
VENUS IN TAURUS (APRIL 20–MAY 20)
You crave unconditional love and want to attract someone, instead of having to do all the work to pursue them. (Read: You’ve definitely played hard to get before.) Because Taurus is an earth sign, you’re grounded in relationships, preferring to cozy up on the couch than bar hop all night long. ‘If someone with Venus in Taurus tries to date a fire sign, they could get scorched,’ says Page. So your best match is someone whose Venus is also in an earth sign—either Venus in Virgo or in Capricorn.
If you’re looking for a hot hookup and nothing else, let opposites attract with a Venus in Scorpio. ‘The opposites can be more sexy because you can feel the electricity across the room,’ Page explains. ‘So there might be more fights, but there will also be better makeup sex.’
VENUS IN VIRGO (AUGUST 23–SEPTEMBER 22)
You’re attracted to what you don’t understand, Venus in Virgo, and aren’t into people who are superficial. That’s why your fellow earth signs—Venus in Capricorn and in Taurus—are your best match. Like you, these signs are ‘very touchy-feely,’ says Page, and just want to be comfortable with their person, a.k.a. Netflix and chill—emphasis on the chill.
But if you’re looking for a good time, not necessarily a long time, you might wanna slide into the DMs of your opposite sign: Venus in Pisces. Since they’re a water sign, they’ll bring an emotional intensity that’ll translate to some serious chemistry in the bedroom. (There might be a tad too much drama for a lasting relationship though…)
VENUS IN CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22–JANUARY 19)
If your Venus is in Capricorn, you’re all about cuffing season (and not just because your bday likely falls during it). According to Page, these signs are super touchy-feely, want to be totally comfortable around their partner, and like doing activities together, especially when those activities don’t require leaving the house. So your perfect match is—surprise, surprise—fellow earth signs, Venus in Taurus and in Virgo.
Your opposite sign is water sign Venus in Cancer. They can bring the mystery and depth of emotions that your logic-loving self needs, and you’ll be attracted to the spontaneity they can inject into your life. Just make sure they know when you need a timeout, mkay?
EARTH SIGN & WATER SIGN
Another element duo that pairs well together? Earth and water. ‘They’re a little bit more emotional and stable with how they are together and what they want,’ Clervoix says. They also aren’t looking for people who play games, unlike air or fire pairings.
‘Water is very compassionate, empathic, subliminal, and it very much helps the earth find that safety and grounds it,’ Mesa says. In this way, earth signs get a bit of emotional reciprocity through the water signs (who always have deep feels), and it helps them hold down the fort of their energy and mental state. ‘Together, they create stability,’ Mesa says.
