The New Moon eclipse on Nov. 23 includes a whopping five celestials in Sagittarius, showering us with enthusiasm, faith and a desire for freedom. Accompanying the fiery five are Jupiter in Virgo opposing Mars in Pisces, giving a seven-fold blast of chaotic, motivating energy to the mutable signs Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces. Mercury’s collision with Mars, Jupiter and Pluto on Nov. 22-25 instigate a flurry of creative ideas, most of which belong in the Twilight Zone. This jumble of influences gets a steadying dose of practicality from Venus transiting into Capricorn on the 26th and Mercury transiting into Capricorn on Dec. 2, boosting romance and communications for the earth signs Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn.
If you know your rising sign from your time of birth, read that also.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Not lacking for ideas and enthusiasm, you need to evaluate opportunities carefully. Your temper will be tested. The New Moon increases your intuition, which offers clues about your future. Travel and education are also highlighted.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Joint finances or a legacy benefit you during the New Moon. Intimate connections are gratifying, too, if you don’t overindulge in one-on-one opportunities. Romance especially soars after Venus transits into Capricorn on Dec. 2.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Activate your talent for juggling several projects at once when your Mercury ruler gets bombarded with planetary energy this week. Homelife competes with family obligations. The New Moon emphasizes one-on-one connections.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
The gift of giving is highlighted during the New Moon, which propels you toward service-related activities. Getting healthy is also emphasized. Communications fly back and forth this week, and an unexpected trip may land in your lap.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Romance soars into the stratosphere during the New Moon. Your creativity burns brightly, too. Just don’t go to extremes on the 21st, when your inner rebel takes over. Your career pulls you away from home activities temporarily.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22
Opportunities abound in your family life during the New Moon, when a land or home investment deal may be presented to you. Delay a serious decision until after the 26th. Romance glows after the 26th, too.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Tremendous energy is centered on communications and travel during the New Moon. It’s time to get the word out about your talents, but you’ll have a difficult time staying focused. Your creativity shines when entertaining at home after Dec. 2.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Chill out during the last week of November, when your temper and patience will be tested. Finances get a tremendous boost during the New Moon-that is, if you don’t go on a spending spree. A romantic tug-of-war may prove stimulating.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Archers soar with accomplishment during the New Moon, when your personal magnetism draws multiple business and romantic opportunities. Staying focused and communicating clearly will be your challenges at the end of November.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You’re positively bubbling with new ideas and insights during the New Moon, but the outward results may not manifest until next month. Meditation and other spiritual activities will help you find your direction. Seek inspiration from within.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Activities with friends and community groups are emphasized during the New Moon. Take the lead in a charity event. Insights about a romantic partner come to you after Nov. 26, and your intuition is especially high after Dec. 2.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
There is enormous energy focused on your career during the New Moon, but don’t make any serious decisions until after the 26th. Analyze opportunities carefully. A friend who has a practical nature may assist you.
