November is a month cut in two parts, with joyous planets creating plenty of opportunity in the first three weeks. The full moon in the last week of the month will likely be arduous and difficult, but it's not the first time you've seen something similar to this, so you'll quickly see you can handle whatever comes up. Let's not be concerned about that old full moon, but instead focus on the extraordinary opportunity that is coming up for you at the new moon as the month begins, and the other aspects that are sprinkled like confectionary sugar before and after it appears.

On November 2, Venus and Mars will meet in conjunction in your committed partnership sector, a lovely vibration that will favor you in an outstanding way if you are attached. If you are married or living together, plan a little surprise for your partner - make a beautiful dinner, and add candles and flowers, and make it seem like a celebration for no special reason. The most memorable days are the ones that we go out of our way to make a partner happy when it is not a birthday or holiday - we do it for the pure joy of it. It is rare when Venus and Mars are together, for these are the cosmic lovers, but alas, they most often are on cosmic assignment in different parts of the sky. The job of Venus and Mars is to spark the spark of love. This is the perfect evening to plan something little, but special.

The big moment of the month will be the gorgeous new moon, November 11, in Scorpio 19 degrees, to light your ninth house of long-distance travel. This new moon will be the best one of 2015, coming chockfull of so many opportunities that you may be flustered when they start to surface. You may be taking an important trip this month, and even if you go for work, your solar chart shows that the time you spend away will be especially happy. If you do go for work, you will be a dynamo of productivity WHILE you enjoy yourself. You seem to get to have your cake and eat it too.

If you are involved in import-export of the exchange of goods, services, or information, chances to expand your business will come up. This will be true if you are self-employed or work for others - if the topic is international, you will have the Midas touch. Your relationship with executives abroad - possibly editors or producers, but not necessarily - could not be more supportive of you, so you may be planning a big project that will be crystalized very soon, possibly this month.

The reason I am so excited about this new moon is that Jupiter, the good fortune planet that expands everything it touches (and brings very good money too), will be in perfect angle to this new moon. You may need an intermediary to help you unlock your luck, such as an agent, representative, business partner, headhunter, lawyer, or other go-between or middleman. I say this because Jupiter is in your partnership / marriage house, and this will be true now and as you move forward, throughout the coming eleven months, until September 2016.

Pluto will also be a big help you, which is extraordinary, for it is rare to see Jupiter and Pluto work together in such a warm and affirming way. These two have such slow orbits that it is nearly impossible to get them in the right spot in the sky and to be within orb of each other. (Pluto takes 248 years to circle the Sun, and Jupiter takes 12 years to make the same journey.) Pluto will be in your friendship, hopes, and wishes sector, so a friend might be the one to unlock a very lucrative opportunity. Or, it may be that a dream that you long hoped would materialize will now be within your grasp. Miracles happen all the time, and you seem due for one in November, dear Pisces.

Jupiter used to be Pisces' ruler, before your modern ruler, Neptune, was discovered in 1846. Modern astrologers look at both Neptune and Jupiter as significant when judging how your month will go, so watching Jupiter's track is important this month. Jupiter and Pluto are both financial planets (and rule other parts of life too), and what makes this team-up of these two Titians of the zodiac special is that Pluto will take the generosity of Jupiter and expand it tenfold. Your finances may be quite big, dear Pisces.

The ninth house, which is about to become so very lucky for you, also governs so much more than travel abroad (as well as immigration including passports, citizenship, green cards, and visas), so I will list those other areas that might be significant for you now instead of travel and international relationship or in addition to that area. Keep in mind a new moon is not influential for just a day but rather for an entire ten days, with the strongest days appearing first. With each passing day, the energy of that new moon will get increasingly weaker, little by little, as you get farther away from the new moon.

If you plant seeds within the ten-day period, you will be working within the best possible time frame for growth and overall success, and the outcome of that new moon will have the power to affect you for a year or more to come. Also, Mercury is no longer retrograde as it was in early October (Mercury went direct on October 9, and returned to former strength on October 27), so you have an open road, with only blue skies ahead. You can concentrate on your agenda without fear that you won't be able to follow through on your plan. Keep in mind that a new moon is always unique and ephemeral - like perfume, the energy and opportunity will vanish quickly, so you will need to jump on the days following this new moon to make it work for you.

You may be working on a publishing or broadcasting project that will bring you great acclaim when it is finished and revealed. You may be writing as a columnist for a magazine or website, or you may be interviewed favorably in print, or on the Internet, radio, or television, and in any media you get involved with, the audience would be very big and broad. Alternatively, you may be hosting a show, and even if you have hosted your show many times before, something about this month's taping or opportunity will be important for your future.

If you are applying to colleges for undergraduate or graduate work, or you are taking qualifying tests, or working on a thesis (or defending one), you will make a positive impression if you make and announce your decisions after that new moon appears on November 11.

Finally, the ninth house also rules legal work and the courts. You may be filing a patent or trademark, or you may be initiating a court case. A new moon sets up a trend, so you won't see a culmination of that court case now, the way a full moon would do - you may need to wait until this coming September 2016 (or much, much longer) to find out the outcome. If you are initiating a legal action now, however, you are doing so under great aspects, so proceed, for the force is with you.

If your birthday falls on March 9, plus or minus five days, you will benefit the most from this vibration. The same is true if you have Pisces rising at 19 degrees (or within five degrees) or have a natal planet in Pisces, Cancer, or Scorpio at the same degree and tolerance - you will benefit too.

On a completely different topic, discussions and/or negotiations about money are likely to come up too in November and spill into December. This is because Mars will enter into your eighth house of other people's money on November 12 when this action planet enters Libra, to stay until January 3. Mars will be joining Venus, already in that area of your chart. Venus will be in Libra in your eighth house from December 8 to January 3. You may be having talks about taking on a new job and in addition to salary be discussing possible benefits, such as a fine health insurance policy, a generous number of vacation days, or special corporate profit sharing plan that you'd be invited to join. Venus is associated with profit, not just love, affection, parties, and fun, so you will likely be interested in all that will be offered to you.

If you are in your own business and working with another company on a joint venture, you may now discuss the fees that you will receive, or talk about the revenue share you will set up. As a way to sweeten the pot, the company that wants you may offer you certain benefits, such as a signing bonus, or a large advance against future earnings, such as is the case when you write a book. If your book is optioned for a movie, you may now negotiate a fee that exceeds all your expectations. You may also be offered other perks that might not be considered strictly financial in the traditional sense but that will benefit you greatly nevertheless. As an example, if you are working on a joint venture with another company, they may offer you a flattering, well-crafted publicity campaign that will reach thousands of people, and that publicity may be worth thousands of dollars - even millions - and yet not cost you a cent. Benefits like that are worth a great deal too.

It looks like your expenses may be high this month, but you will be finding ways to generate more income too. Also, because this is almost year's end, this would be an ideal time to meet with your accountant to discuss legal actions you can make to lower your taxes for 2015 before you close your books.

All month you will be favored in financial dealings but NOT on or near November 23, when Venus will be in opposition to Uranus. An unexpected expense may come up, or you may have a loss. Avoid all talks about money at this time and keep track of your treasures - your smart phone, electric tablet, eyeglasses, wallet, tablet, sunglasses, and more! Give this date as much space of days as is reasonably possible, as I would like you to keep an arm's length (so to speak) from this date. I would prefer you instead make your biggest initiations in early to mid-November.

A difficult full moon is due November 25, one day before the US holiday of Thanksgiving Day weekend. This full moon will fall in your home and family sector, the place where you will feel most of your stress. The problem with that full moon is that it will be opposed to Saturn, making this day and the entire ensuing weekend a heavy time, with arduous tasks to complete, and possibly cranky or noisy family members who may get you upset with probing questions. Clearly, you will likely have too much to do, with too little time to get it all done, so ask for help ahead of time.

If anyone criticizes you, because this will be an emotional full moon, you are likely to take the words too much to heart, and possibly feel completely deflated. Don't let anyone take away your self-confidence, dear Pisces. Take the useful part of the feedback, but discard the rest - that is, the part that might make you lose your faith in yourself.

The day later, on November 26, Saturn and Neptune will be at odds, at 90-degree angles, considered an aspect denoting an obstacle. Neptune rules your sign, so this configuration may affect you more than some of your friends who are not Pisces. Saturn, the tough love planet that teaches the value of being practical and realistic, will show you why you need to stay objective. Saturn is currently visiting your tenth house of prestigious career fame and honors for the coming two years, and this is where a solid, realistic view of events and options will help you the most.

Neptune is now in Pisces, in your first house of identity (the reason you are so wildly creative these days), and the first house covers how you see yourself and the world around you. Neptune will remain there, in your first house, until 2026. This aspect will ask you to see things as they are, not as you wish them to be. Sometimes, to soften reality, we get lost in a world of our own, one where we believe that all dreams are not only possible but real - but if it is a beautiful world of our imagination and is not really there, it can be a hard letdown.

This month, it will be vital to stay objective and practical. If a financial type asks you to condense a project so that the company you are working with can afford to produce it, you will need to agree to the plan. As much as you would rather see your work materialized in ideal form, it seems not possible. (I am with you, dear Pisces. This can be a painful development, for Pisces falls in love with their projects, and rightly want to see them materialize in ideal form.)

If you want to look for other sponsors who will have the money to transform your idea as you originally imagined it to be, it may take months or even several years to find that sponsor. You will have to decide - do it now, in condensed form, or take a risk and look for a sponsor who will offer you better funding.

You may need to take into account that Saturn will again challenge Neptune in the very same way, on June 17 and September 10, 2016. This is a dominant trend for the coming year - to be realistic, especially about money matters - so there will be no getting around that truth. It looks like the next sponsor will also be just as budget conscious. This is a tough choice - see how you feel, for you will know best what to do.

If you are given the opportunity to travel a long distance, accept the invitation in the middle of November. You will have the most supportive new moon of 2015 in your ninth house of foreign people and places, a house that also covers broadcasting and publishing projects, legal issues, and matters related to academia. All these areas shine for you just after the new moon appears November 11, so choose one area of the topics listed to work on, for you will be outstandingly favored.

Finances will require tending, for energetic Mars will begin to tour your eighth house of other people's money, including matters of credit, student and bank loans, mortgage, and refinance plans. Or, you may want to talk about the way you want to share expenses in a marriage, or conversely, divide funds in a divorce. Another way to use this energy would be to work on tax strategies for yearend 2015 with your accountant for smart legal tax moves to make before the year is over.

Romantically, the meeting of Venus and Mars in Virgo, in your partnership / marriage sector on November 2, should bring you an enchanting, loving evening. If you are attached, you will be favored over single Pisces, so plan a special night out with one you love.

At month's end, we have a somewhat heavy full moon, in Gemini, November 25, cresting in your house of home and family. You may not get along well with someone in your family at this point in the month because emotions will be high. Alternatively, you may be concerned about the health of a parent, or someone you think of as a parent. The weight of this full moon will continue to press on everyone of every sign, suggesting most people will be stirred up and fragile at this time of the month and quick to take offense. Words said by family near the full moon might be hurtful to you, but don't retaliate. Don't bring up any controversial subjects and have an answer for perennial questions like "When are you ever going to get married?" If you will be moving house at month's end, Saturn will conjoin the Sun on November 29, making for a very strenuous day that may leave you flat out exhausted. Do not try to lift boxes that are beyond your ability to handle.
