Astrology & Tarot for November

What’s in store for you this month? Melanie Harding, founder of Soul Healing Guidance, offers her new monthly guides for all signs…

Aries (March 21–April 19)

Mars, your ruling planet, steps into Sagittarius on the 4th, stirring a restless desire to explore, to expand beyond familiar horizons. It’s a time when your heart may pull toward adventure and the unknown, but Mercury turning retrograde on the 9th asks you to slow down and to listen carefully, especially around communication and travel plans. The Full Moon on the 5th illuminates your financial world, encouraging you to be honest about what you truly value and what you may need to release. Venus enters Scorpio on the 6th, deepening emotional bonds, inviting you to nurture connections that feel soulful rather than superficial. Around the 12th, some tension may arise a Mars challenges Mercury, so remember that patience and clear boundaries are your allies. The New Moon on the 20th offers a quiet but potent opportunity to plant new seeds, especially in partnerships or shared resources. As November draws to a close, with the Sun and Venus in Sagittarius, your spirit feels lighter, playful, curious, ready for gentle joy and authentic connection.
