[dropcap size=big]B[/dropcap]uckle up, Angels. November brings Lunar lunacy and Leo’s light show. The Moon’s phases, once believed to cause emotional havoc, reclaim that fame on November 12th, when the Full Moon shines in wild Aries. If your better mind prevails, it is largely due to Saturn’s influence—that pretty planet is known for its serious nature—and it aligns twice with the moon, tempering its volatility (November 2nd and again on the 29th). In lighter and brighter news, three Meteor Showers delight L.A. Skies—the Taurids (November 12th), Leonids (November 18th) and Orionids (November 28th) confer determination, confidence and the manifestation of dreams. Start the month like The Lighthouse, leave it like Ford v Ferrari.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Put your horns away, Ram, and pick up your meditation cushion. Aries takes a deep dive inward this month. Your constellation hosts the Full Moon on the 12th. Other signs feel it too, and it makes them act like, well, a bunch of Aries. Use others as reflections of self, and choose to suppress those qualities that bug you, i.e. volatility, and nurture those you appreciate, such as energy and action. On the 18th, the Leonid Meteor Shower activates your House of Health. Feel (and look) fantastic. Your ruling Mars aligns with the Moon on the 24th, energizing your Workplace Sector. For best results, temper your temper and channel that energy into getting the job done. The drama at work will pass, with or without your participation.
Taurus (April 21 – May 21)
Take responsibility by the horns, Bull. Reflect on Karma – good and bad- this November and make informed decisions when the Full Moon shines in your House of Subconscious November 12th.

Your self-esteem gets a boost on the 18th when the Leonid Meteor Shower (visible after midnight) fills you with the Lion’s confidence.

Gemini (May 22 – June 21)
Your ruling Mercury is busy this month, Gemini. On the 11th it pairs with the Earth and the Sun in your House of Health. Feel grounded in your body, full of energy and gratitude. On the 24th, Mercury aligns with the moody Moon in the same House. Find balance here – this pairing links the conscious and unconscious minds. Mercury has phases, just like the moon, and its half-phase is visible on the 25th (again in your House of Health). Turn your mind to core values; namely, kindness. And don’t forget to look at the sky! This event will be pretty. There is more to health than vegetables and sunscreen. Heal your mind and your heart this month with celestial medicine.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Watch your ego, Crab. When the Full moon shines in your Status House November 12th, are you overly concerned with prestige? Accolades are intrinsically empty.
