Aries (March 21–April 19)
Love, relationships, daily routines, and finances are the big themes this month. Mars, your ruling planet, stays in your romance sector until November 26. With Mercury and Venus retrograde during the first half of November, issues from past relationships could resurface. Questions you’ve been turning over in your current partnership may finally start to make sense, too. Even so, don’t feel compelled to make a final call the moment the retrogrades end. Your relationships will slowly find a new balance. The new moon on November 9 brings a fresh start around shared finances, debts, or payment plans. Take your time with contracts and important paperwork. Mid-month, you may feel bolder than usual and say yes to a project that shows off your creativity. Just be mindful of taking on more risk than you can handle. The November 24 full moon lights up your communication sector, which could bring news that prompts an important decision or an unexpected trip. As the month draws to a close, keep an eye on your health.
Aries beauty calendar
November 2–3: Book a hair treatment or a refresh that builds on your current look.
November 15–18: The retrogrades may be over, but there’s no need to rush into a dramatic transformation just yet.
November 19–20: Slow down with a soothing facial, a spa visit, a foot treatment, or a relaxing massage.
November 23–24: You may feel more sensitive around the full moon, so think twice before trying a new product or booking a treatment on impulse.
November 27–28: Set aside time for at-home rituals, masks, and hydrating treatments.
Taurus (April 20–May 20)
With Venus, your ruling planet, and Mercury both retrograde during the first half of the month, old issues and lingering doubts may be harder to shake. The good news: things should start feeling less complicated as the month goes on. Time management matters more than ever right now, so take a closer look at where your energy is going. A few tweaks to your daily routine could help. Family matters or changes around the home may also need your attention, especially around mid-month. The November 9 new moon falls in your partnership sector, signaling an important new beginning in a relationship. It may be tied to a problem that’s been dragging on. Someone from your romantic past could also make a surprise return. Either way, give things time to unfold rather than expecting an overnight resolution. The November 24 full moon lands in your money sector and may bring an unexpected expense or a shift in income. A closer look at your budget may be in order, along with a temporary pause on nonessential spending.
Taurus beauty calendar
November 1–4: Start the month by checking in with your skin and hair. Figure out your needs, then build your routine around those.
November 7: Schedule a manicure, pedicure, massage, or aromatherapy session.
November 8–9: Hold off on dramatic haircuts, major color changes, and long-lasting treatments around the new moon.
November 18–22: If you’ve been putting off a professional beauty treatment, you can gradually start planning it.
November 24–25: The full moon is a good reminder to pause before splurging on beauty products or booking a treatment on a whim.
Gemini (May 21–June 20)
November is a chance to make peace with the past, let go of what’s been weighing on you, and focus on what comes next. You’re entering a period of change, and taking back control of your life is part of the process. Mercury, your ruling planet, turns direct around mid-month, which helps the remaining uncertainties fall away and makes it easier to move forward. Until then, focus on wrapping up unfinished business. Short trips could come up, and matters involving people in your immediate circle may keep you busy. Old disagreements or unresolved questions could resurface, and you could find yourself in a few stressful situations. Around the November 9 new moon, make your well-being a priority. Book overdue health checkups, give yourself room to rest, and reassess your sleep and eating habits if you’ve been feeling depleted. The November 24 full moon falls in your sign, making this a significant moment for you. Decisions in your personal or professional life could help you leave restrictive situations behind and move toward greater independence.
Gemini beauty calendar
November 2–4: Schedule a hair treatment or revisit a color you’ve already tried and loved.
November 12–15: Even as the retrogrades wind down, give yourself time before committing to long-lasting cosmetic procedures.
November 19–21: A good window to plan that haircut or intensive skincare treatment you’ve been putting off.
November 23–25: The full moon may leave you itching for a change. Before making a dramatic move, ask yourself whether you’ll still want it next week.
November 27–30: Make room for a manicure, pedicure, massage, or spa day. The end of the month is also a good time to rethink your beauty routine.
Cancer (June 21–July 22)
The month opens on a promising note financially, though a few emotional loose ends may need sorting. With Mercury and Venus retrograde until mid-month, family dynamics and past relationships could come back into focus. The November 9 new moon in your romance sector reinforces that theme. If you’ve drifted away from a creative project or hobby, consider picking it up again, and make more room for the things you enjoy. Around November 15, emotional spending may become more tempting. A more deliberate approach could help you make better use of your resources or even uncover a new source of income. During the final week of November, your attention turns inward. The full moon on November 24 stirs your subconscious and may bring vivid dreams and buried emotions to the surface. Give yourself time to slow down and rest. This quieter period may also help you make firm decisions about issues that came up during the retrogrades. Toward the end of the month, communication picks up again, making it easier to get postponed conversations and travel plans moving.
Cancer beauty calendar
November 7–8: Book a skincare treatment, but skip new products if your skin is feeling sensitive.
November 10–12: Refresh your hands and feet or book a brow or lash treatment. There’s no need to rush into a major change.
November 20–24: The days around the full moon call for a slower pace. Unwind with a massage or aromatherapy, and give your sleep routine some extra attention.
November 27–28: Bring the spa home with a nourishing face or hair mask and a little uninterrupted self-care.
Leo (July 23–August 22)
November is about letting go of what you’ve outgrown and making room for what’s next. Mars and Jupiter have been moving through your personal sector, giving your confidence and courage a noticeable boost. You’re ready to take initiative, and luck is on your side. Still, resist the urge to rush into career moves or financial risks before mid-month. The retrogrades may also stir up old family matters, whether they involve emotional tensions or practical changes to your living situation, such as a move. The November 9 new moon could help you turn a corner and find a way forward. If you’re signing anything important, read the fine print and make sure you have all the details straight. Between November 17 and 19, the Sun, your ruling planet, makes some challenging aspects, and clashing expectations or disagreements could test your patience in your relationships. The November 24 full moon shifts the focus to your social life, with chance encounters and maybe even a fated meeting. Team projects and plans for the future move forward, while money matters keep you busy toward the end of the month.
Leo beauty calendar
November 1–7: The urge to reinvent your look may be strong, but try to hold off until mid-month. In the meantime, revisit treatments you’ve loved before.
November 17–21: You can revisit treatments such as Botox, laser, and peels, but proceed with caution.
November 24–25: Book a hair or skincare treatment, with an emphasis on hydration as the weather gets colder. Avoid making major changes on impulse around the full moon.
November 28–30: Schedule a manicure, pedicure, massage, or spa treatment.
Virgo (August 23–September 22)
The first half of November is about clearing your head and making sense of what the past has left behind. By the second half, you’ll begin to feel more energized and ready to act. Mercury, your ruling planet, turns direct on November 13, helping you gradually feel more in control. The November 9 new moon could usher in a new chapter through an important conversation or a trip. Around mid-month, though, you may find yourself looking inward. Old beliefs, defense mechanisms, and the ways you sabotage yourself could become harder to ignore. Rather than brushing these realizations aside, take a step back and make time to rest. If meditation or yoga has been on your mind, this could be a good time to give it a try. The November 24 full moon may bring a surprise at work or finally close the book on an old matter. A change of job or a new role could be in store. After that, life starts picking up speed. Put your renewed energy toward exercise, fresh ideas, and projects you’ve been eager to pursue.
Virgo beauty calendar
November 1–3: Stick with the treatments you know work for you, and avoid experimenting with new procedures until mid-month.
November 8–10: The new moon calls for gentle, purifying treatments that leave your skin feeling refreshed.
November 17–21: Book a haircut, color appointment, or brow-shaping session. If you’ve been waiting for Venus retrograde to end before making a change, this is your window.
November 22–25: Skip dramatic changes around the full moon. A relaxing massage may be a better way to spend your time.
November 26–30: Feeling ready for a refresh? This is a favorable time to update your look, start exercising, or explore body treatments.
Libra (September 23–October 22)
Venus, your ruling planet, remains retrograde until mid-month, encouraging you to take a hard look at everything from your relationships and personal projects to your appearance. Your finances are also up for review, especially past spending decisions and investments. The November 9 new moon could mark a shift in how you approach financial independence and long-term security. Think about how to put your talents to better use, but don’t rush into major financial commitments. As Mercury retrograde ends, the uncertainty surrounding these matters should gradually lift. Your social life picks up by mid-month, bringing opportunities to meet someone new, explore a romantic connection, or receive support from friends. That said, old disagreements could resurface, and you may feel like keeping your distance from the people involved. The November 24 full moon widens your horizons. An overseas trip or a work opportunity with international ties may be on the way, so be ready for surprises.
Libra beauty calendar
November 1: Revisit skincare and hair treatments that have worked well for you before.
November 4–5: Ideal for a manicure, pedicure, relaxing massage, or hydrating treatment.
November 9–10: With the new moon falling near the end of Venus retrograde, hold off on dramatic changes. Use this time to consult a professional and weigh your options.
November 19–22: A favorable stretch for a haircut, color appointment, or professional beauty treatment.
November 26–28: You may be more sensitive than usual, so prioritize rest and good sleep. Aromatherapy could be a good way to unwind.
Scorpio (October 23–November 21)
A significant chapter in your career is coming to a close, prompting you to reconsider where you’re headed. You may reach a turning point with a long-standing employer or an authority figure, especially if you’ve been feeling undervalued or questioning your own worth. A professional connection from your past could prove useful during this transition, but don’t let the prospect of change push you into unnecessary risks. Mercury, which has been retrograde in your sign, turns direct around mid-month, helping to clear up the last of the uncertainty. The new moon on November 9 in Scorpio signals a fresh start, with the potential to reshape your work, relationships, projects, or even your personal image. There’s no need to rush into setting new goals. If you’ve already put plans in motion, you’ll feel more confident about seeing them through. When Venus turns direct around mid-month, emotional complications should also begin to ease. The full moon on November 24 could bring a financial matter to a conclusion, possibly with a sum you weren’t counting on that offers welcome relief.
Scorpio beauty calendar
November 4–7: Focus on moisturizing treatments and skincare that help support your skin barrier.
November 8–10: Stick to your usual routine around the new moon. Major beauty changes can wait.
November 17–21: A good window for a haircut, color appointment, manicure, or pedicure.
November 22–25: Be cautious about sudden, lasting changes around the full moon. A soothing massage may be just what you need.
November 26–29: Book a hair or skincare treatment, or try a new product that suits your needs.
Sagittarius (November 22–December 21)
You may crave more solitude during the first half of November, and that’s not a bad thing. You’re sorting through old baggage to make space for what comes next, and the new moon on November 9 marks an important turning point in that process. If you need time alone, take it. The rest will have you ready for the busier weeks to come. By mid-month, international matters, legal affairs, or education could start moving forward. A long-running project may finally be ready to take off, and some of the uncertainty holding you back could start to clear. Still, don’t rush into risky decisions. On November 22, the Sun enters Sagittarius, bringing a noticeable lift in energy and confidence, and you may feel ready to put yourself out there more. The November 24 full moon falls in your partnership sector, where a sudden development could have you ending something or starting something new. Toward the end of the month, your career gains momentum. You could take on more responsibility, set bigger goals, or spot an opportunity through your social circle.
Sagittarius beauty calendar
November 3–4: Schedule a hair treatment or unwind with a restorative spa ritual.
November 8–10: Skip long-lasting cosmetic procedures around the new moon. Opt for gentle, nourishing skincare instead.
November 16–19: Avoid intensive or aggressive treatments. A simple routine is the way to go.
November 22–23: If you’ve been thinking about refreshing your look, these are relatively favorable days for a haircut, brow shaping, or makeup appointment.
November 27–30: Time to book that professional facial. You can also schedule medical aesthetic treatments or laser appointments.
Capricorn (December 22–January 19)
Your social circle may be getting a shake-up this month, and your daily life is starting to move faster. Financial shifts could bring a welcome change, too, giving you a greater sense of security. The November 9 new moon opens up new possibilities around your long-term goals, but give yourself until the second half of the month to start putting plans into action. Around November 15, opportunities involving shared finances, taxes, insurance, or inheritance may come your way. Even so, steer clear of risky investments. You may also feel more sensitive than usual about trust and sharing. In the days that follow, family matters may need talking through. The November 24 full moon highlights your health and daily routines, making it a good time to check in with yourself and schedule any appointments you’ve been delaying. You may need to rethink your schedule, adjust certain routines, or find a new rhythm at work. Toward the end of the month, thoughts of traveling abroad may turn into actual plans.

November 27–28: Consider a haircut, color appointment, or brow shaping.
Aquarius (January 20–February 18)
After a stretch of uncertainty, your career starts to steady around mid-month. Conversations you have and projects you wrap up during the first few days could help set things in motion. The new moon on November 9 may bring an opportunity for a job change, promotion, or a new set of responsibilities. Partnerships become a major focus by mid-month, too. Old issues with colleagues or collaborators could resurface and stir up power struggles. Your best move is to keep your reactions in check and approach disagreements with a clear head. The November 24 full moon lights up your romance sector, and things could take an unexpected turn. You could meet someone new, or even fall in love out of nowhere. If a relationship has been on shaky ground for a while, a growing need for independence could bring it to an end. Make time for creative projects or hobbies you enjoy. As November draws to a close, keep a close eye on your finances and avoid taking risks you don’t need to.

November 28–29: The most favorable days of the month for a beauty refresh. Schedule a haircut, color appointment, professional facial, or brow-shaping session.
Pisces (February 19–March 20)
If life has felt on pause lately, November brings signs of movement, especially in the second half of the month. The first days of the month look promising too, but resist the urge to force an outcome. Take a step back, observe, and let events play out. The new moon on November 9 supports fresh starts that help you grow, so sign up for a course, explore a new subject, or start planning a trip. Around mid-month, catch up on routine checkups and pay attention to your energy levels. Be careful not to overextend yourself by taking on extra responsibilities. Overdoing it could put you on the road to burnout. The November 24 full moon brings home and family matters into focus. A move, changes to your living arrangements, or a family conversation could be on the agenda. Meanwhile, your creativity and intuition are running high, giving you plenty to draw on. In the final days of the month, partnerships become more active, with possible movement on marriage or business collaborations. It’s a promising time for working with others.
