This is a passionate month for you, Leo, in one way or another. As it begins, Mars is perched on the edge of your sign in powerful opposition to transformational Pluto. There could be unexpected bursts of anger to contend with, while there also could be a great deal of energy available for personal projects that come from your heart. As the end of the year approaches you may very well find yourself in the midst of meditations about your sense of identity and your ultimate life purpose, especially when Mars retrogrades next month, on December 6th, early in your sign. Mars enters Leo on Sunday evening, November 3rd, while Pluto enters your opposite sign of Aquarius on the 19th. Issues of partnership interaction and your relationship dynamic are likely throughout the November month, along with home and family concerns together with new beliefs potentially coming into play referencing your family of origin. In all of these various types of interaction, you may also have to guard against excessive anger coming to the surface, therefore watching what you say. The Taurus Full Moon on the 15th makes for another potent juncture focused on inner versus outer perspectives, sudden epiphanies, and seeking balance on the relationship front.

November begins with the New Moon in Scorpio on November 1st that brings fresh energy to the sector of your chart relating to your home, family and psychological roots, as well as your family of origin. This may be a particularly significant period for profound shifts that are going on internally that could also be reflected in your external circumstances and particularly with family members, key relationships, or regarding your career. The fiery planet Mars transiting in Cancer – quite close to the beginning of your sign – forms an opposition with Pluto in this New Moon. Entering Leo on the 3rd, Mars will spend an extended amount of time there due to his turning retrograde at 6 °or Leo on the 6th of December, so that issues of your very identity are coming up for you before the end of the year.
From the 3rd to the 4th, the Sun trines Saturn affecting partnership agreements and the contrast between what you require or wish from others and your own creative self-expression. This month is a time of re-working your important partnerships and of transforming relationship energy in general.
Venus’s entry into Capricorn on November 11th could bring relationship issues further to the fore and also your habitual responses in general that could also be undergoing a shift in consciousness.
From the 11th to the 12th, Mercury in Sagittarius, your creativity sector, forms a square with Saturn in Pisces. Mercury is in mutual reception, also, with Jupiter in your social sector, which signals consequences, plus demanding careful planning, especially around finances, projects, partnership agreements, or your goals for the future. Mercury is going to turn retrograde later this month, on the 25th, so that it will eventually symbolize a review and potential readjustment in these areas.
The Full Moon arrives in Taurus on November 15th and could mean having to juggle unforeseen factors or contend with surprise reversals over this month’s final two weeks since the Moon is forming a tight conjunction with Uranus in Taurus, corresponding to your vocational sector. It is possible that renewed focus on your career or professional life will involve balancing public and private concerns. This is a generally optimistic time for you, although it may be that your business practices must be allowed to better align with the dictates of your internal moral compass. Saturn turns direct on the same day which brings a shift and perhaps eventual momentum to existing struggles over partnership agreements of either an intimate or a business variety.
Pluto officially enters Aquarius on November 19th and will be transiting there for the next two decades. This is an important ingress because Aquarius sits across the zodiac from your home sign of Leo. Pluto transiting there will have a significant influence on your sign for interpersonal relationships and your understanding of power, passion, and obsession. It is possible that your relationship dynamic has already been subject to a good deal of transformational energy over these past several months and that this will continue.
Venus in Capricorn also comes into a square with the Nodal Axis on the 16th which means there could be mundane tasks or practicalities that must be dealt with before you can proceed ahead. Breakthroughs or fresh momentum are possible at this time especially for things related to career advancements but there may be logistical and organizational components that must be carefully managed.
The Sun enters Sagittarius on the 21st and immediately forms a supportive aspect with Pluto newly in Aquarius which may feel energizing. You could experience a creative surge now that requires deliberate channeling to be productive.
On the 25th, Mercury turns retrograde in Sagittarius and initiates period of a five weeks or slightly more when you will be in an introspective and a reflexive mode that calls for discussion or for journaling. You will likely feel a great deal of energy for exploring who you really are, and the effect that sense of emerging identity has on your creative output, including projects that you cherish or perhaps any children that are in your life. This period of time could also be your cue to take your passions seriously over the coming weeks and find the proper containers so that the ideas or inspiration emerging now can pay off later on.
