Cancer Summary (sun sign)

You will love what the planets have cooked up for you, dear Cancer! With Mars, the Sun, and Mercury in your house of true love in early November, you must try to go out and circulate.

You've had Mars' help since early October, but the problem was that Mercury was retrograde, making you think back rather than forward. In the good sense, you may have reconciled with an old lover, or in the not-so-good way, you may have been reminiscing about an old love that's over, and finding it hard to move forward. All that is history now, for the planets have moved into much stronger placements. The October 28 new moon was a major turning point - from then on things were to get better.

If you are attached, you will enjoy this trend too, of course. Just because you have a paper that says you are married does not mean you can't enjoy carefree love - you can! Close committed couples will have the added benefit of Venus in your opposite sign of Capricorn from November 12 onward. This brings a "full moon" effect of heightened, very tender, and sweet emotions.

The full moon, November 13, should bring a happy social event that will have you rubbing shoulders with many happy people. Some may be old friends, and others may be new to you but by the time this event is done, you may have a number of new acquaintances that you will want to know better.

With Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus, and Saturn so beautifully aligned on November 15, you may decide to travel spontaneously. A vacation taken at anytime mid-month and including November 15 would be a fine idea.

Once Mars moves into Sagittarius on November 16, the pace at work is going to build and you'll be working hard through almost all of next month. This may be good news if you are not employed, or hope to pick up more work on the side. If you are self-employed, business will be fast-paced! This trend will pick up even more after the new moon that occurs on November 27 - you'll be like Lucy in the Chocolate Factory, trying to keep up with the demand. This tells me you might be working in retail or a restaurant or other holiday-oriented job. If so, be glad your services are so strongly in demand!

Many people design a plan on January 1 to become fit, but you would be wise to do so now, when the new moon appears on November 27 and the days that follow. If you are serious about looking like a million dollars, your best time to get started is then! Don't lose the advantage. Later everyone will ask, "How did you do it?" Also, if you start now, you'll look sexier on the dance floor New Year's Eve!

Key dates to remember:

Romance will be best on these days: November 1, 5-8, 10-12, 25, and 29-30.

Take a vacation: November 2-15.

A festive party or event (or a series of smaller, one-on-one lunches and dinners) proves highly social in the days that circle November 13 plus or minus four days.

Design a fitness plan: November 27 plus four days - and launch it!
Your understanding of your finances improves: Watch days surrounding November 2.

Capricorn Summary (ascending sign)

The main point about this month is to know that the first part will be deliciously social, the second part a little quieter, giving you peaceful time to think, plan, and reflect on your future.

In the first two weeks, network and show your face to the world. November 10 will be a lovely day when everything should go your way. It would be a great day to ask a friend for a favor, but you may not have to! It seems your friend will do something for you, without ever being asked. You'll be grateful to have a friend who cares about you so much and looks after you in such a nurturing way.

The full moon on November 13, plus or minus four days, will be exquisitely tender. It could mark one of the most romantic moments of the year! If you are single, you may meet someone new, or if you are dating someone now, experience a thrillingly romantic evening.

This full moon falls in fellow earth sign Taurus, a sensual, luxury-loving sign that will be just perfect for creating a setting for exchanging sweet thoughts and sentimental words.

You may travel over this full moon too (extending into the weekend of November 15-16) and if so, it'll be a great time to go.

Financially, you soon will be enjoying an improved picture, now that Neptune is turning direct on November 2, and Uranus, ruler of your earned income house, will do the same on November 27.

If you have worked hard and feel you deserve a raise, and your requests have been to no avail since late May and June, the reason that things have remained so deadlocked might have been because you've lacked cosmic support. Now, with the move of Neptune and Uranus moving to stronger direct speed, you have a much better chance at getting your raise. Actually, 2009 should be sensational for earning more money, especially at the end of January and into February!

Keep working hard. In fact, the seeds you plant in 2008 will have direct bearing on the profits you see in 2009. You have two more months before that first phase ends, so hurry and see the influential people you need in order to lift off your new ventures in 2009. This month your friends will help open those doors, so if you need help, ask. Trust that in 2009 you will be rewarded for all your efforts. In the months ahead you will hear me talk much more about your fine financial aspects!

Pluto's move into Capricorn on November 27 will see that you become a force to be reckoned with in years to come. Pluto will remain in Capricorn for 15 years! This planet is known to be one that helps in transformations of all kinds, in regard to health, career, your appearance, money, and other areas. If you feel that one part of your life needs a redo, you'll have that chance to make it happen, and you'll do it the right way, slowly, brick by brick. Changes you make will be the right ones, and best of all, they will last!

There is one cloud on the horizon that I did not touch on in the main body of your report, so I will mention it here. On the full moon next month, December 12, a work project will come to a culmination, but due to hard aspects associated with this full moon, you may find it to be a very tense time. I mention it because it falls so close to Christmas and Hanukkah. I am not sure if you'll find it hard to complete the project because of time restraints, or because coworkers will be missing in action or be cranky and uncooperative. Something seems to be up at the office, and it appears to be giving you a lot of tension.

My advice is that you get your holiday shopping and shipping done in November, and no later than December 9. Once that full moon delivers its message (possibly as early as December 10 or as late as December 16), you will need to give whatever is happening at your office your full attention. You seem to be thinking about whatever comes up over the ensuing weekend, December 13-14, too. I feel you may not be able to complete your holiday list of things to do, as this full moon will be a very jarring and distracting influence.

December 12 is a popular time to ship packages at the post office, so plan to ship no later than December 9. If you have children and other family members depending on you to make the holiday fun, knowing this full moon will be stressful will urge you to clear your calendar prior to December 12. Fortunately, by the time the holidays come by, gradually you will be able to regain your sense of balance, but for a while, some of the time you thought you had to get ready for the holiday will disappear into a black hole.

Your solar sixth house will be activated, so it's possible that you will not be feeling as energetic as you normally do, or that you will be susceptible to colds and flu. Last year I got the flu on December 15 and saw my holiday start to unravel before my eyes, all the while feeling helpless. This year I went for my flu shot early (it takes three weeks to work), and I will also put up my Christmas tree on December 6, a good deal earlier than usual.

Everyone of every sign will feel the fallout of this angry full moon December 12. Keep in mind that this full moon will be in Gemini, not Capricorn, so you may not feel the effects as strongly as the mutable signs of Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo and Pisces. Even so, you may feel pulled off course for a few days, and those may be days you desperately need to get things done at holiday time!

Going back to my discussion of November, I am so happy to report you have two sensational aspects at November's end.

The first, coming November 28, will be an interplay of Venus-in-Capricorn with Uranus, planet of surprise, sure to bubble up romantic fun and chance encounters!

Then will come the most divine aspect, Venus and Jupiter, both in Capricorn, set to meet over November 30-December 1. Together they will waltz across the star-studded sky! While Venus and Jupiter, the great benefic planet, meet once a year, it takes 12 years for them to meet in Capricorn! This will be a four-star day, one made just for love and fun for you.

Use November 30 and December 1 for any purpose you please. You can see sensational romantic developments on this day, and you can also do something to improve your looks, with great success. You can expect to see a major career victory come your way, too! Venus rules not only your love life, but also your tenth house of career status and success! Dear Capricorn, you have it all.
