CANCER (Sun Sign)

Part of November's planetary focus is on your solar 5th house of love and pleasure, courtesy of the sun, new moon, Mercury and Mars in Scorpio for parts of the month. Enjoy! There is also, however, quite a bit of focus on your work sector, and some of it is rather intense. Venus opens the month in your job sector, which is usually a good thing for stuff like getting along with co-workers and bosses and so on.

However, there's a nasty battle afoot between Saturn and Uranus at the same time, one that reflects a rather ugly mood in the skies nationally and even internationally. For some reason, Venus in Sagittarius decides to wade right into the fray. Maybe she feels like she can calm things down; I don't know. Rather than getting any work done or indulging in good feelings on the job, you may find your work environment overwhelmed by everyone's collective need to vent fears and feelings about situations they can't control.

Sagittarius is not a boss-friendly sign in general, so Cancer executives and managers may have to do some ad hoc employee soothing. Cancer employees by the same token may feel less than reassured by the boss's forecasts for the future. The bottom line is that it's probably best for Cancer to plan on working hard and being busy as we head into the holiday season this year.

CAPRICORN (Ascending Sign)

This month is both about where you're going, Capricorn, and about where you've been. Where you want to go may put a bit of pressure on your finances periodically throughout the month. If you plan to spend or borrow money to finance an aspiration, try to be sure you are crystal clear on the details of the transaction. Deception is possible, so just be careful.

Other than that, the month is a mix of backward and forward-looking influences. Until the 12th, Venus is in Sagittarius in your solar 12th house, reflecting on the past year. After that, though, she's in your sign and ready to move on toward your hopefully glorious future. Meanwhile, the sun and Mars are looking forward until the 21st and 23rd respectively, and then they both move into your reflective 12th house, where they are supposed to rest up and prepare for your solar new year.

Jupiter in your sign continues to look foward, adding to the mix of future and past orientation. It's almost as though your solar chart keeps trying to check the map while still driving you forward. Apparently, it's just not willing to entirely pull over for a bit and ask directions. I suppose in real life that means you'll need to mix planning with action. Which seems like a sensible thing to do anyway.
