More on the positive side, between November 1 - 17, or for over half the month, Jupiter, who's hanging out in your Natural 3rd House of mental activity and immediate neighborhood, will be in sextile Neptune in your Natural 5th House of children, creativity and love affairs.  In plain English, this indicates some opportunities related to any creative ideas you have regarding your children, lovers or perhaps neighbors.  If you've been entertaining a project of some sort that ties into these areas, you're likely to have some extra inspiration to help you along at this time.

About this same time, between November 1 - 8, Mars, who's currently transiting your Natural 10th House of career and reputation, will trine the Sun in Scorpio, your Natural 2nd House of possessions, pleasures and finances.  It doesn't take a seasoned astrologer to figure out that this bodes very well for making some progress in your career and possibly getting some kind of financial benefit out of it.  The New Moon, also in Scorpio, on the 9th, is likely to further emphasize this nice, favorable aspect.  Come the 15th, however, Mars will go into his biannual retrograde cycle, which will knock the wind out of any drive you may see before then.  This will be in force until the end of January and is best used to plan your next career steps, since the likelihood of moving forward is fairly slim until then.  Thus, if you don't see some results for your efforts by the 15th, more than likely you won't until February or so.  Fortunately, the holidays should make this time period go quickly, so it will be over before you know it.

From November 5 - 8, Venus, your Sign Ruler, will be squaring Pluto.  With Venus in Virgo, your 12th House, and Pluto in Sagittarius, your 3rd House, this is likely to be a lot of mental action.  The 12th House encompasses inspiration, spirituality, the collective consciousness and institutions whereas the 3rd includes mental activity, early childhood, short journeys, and neighborhood activities.   More than likely you're one of those people who has a real knack for finding the hidden flaw, whether it's a movie or a written document.  In this case, this is likely to play out as an exercise that takes a careful, conscious look at your spiritual values or, if you're working on a specific idea, seeking some inspiration on how to move forward.  Frequently, Pluto draws our attention to something in our past that we not only didn't handle correctly, but haven't yet learned the lesson, either.  If this is the case, don't shuffle thoughts of any past mistakes back into the closet.  Rather, look at it as objectively as you would someone else's errors, extract the lesson from it, then let it go.  Beating up yourself or anyone else about it is self-defeating, and will only hold you back.

A bit later in the month from November 19 - 23, which happens to be Thanksgiving week, Venus will square Mars.  As expected, this will not bode well for male - female interactions of any kind.  With Mars RX at that time, the guys are likely to be passive aggressive, so the gals aren't going to make nearly as much progress in any issues as they may think.  The house placement of this aspect ties it into your 10th House of career and reputation at a personal, 1st House level.  Thus, conflicts in your career are likely from members of the opposite sex.  Uranus, planet of change, surprises and upsets, gets into the act around this same time, so be prepared for anything and expect to have to make some adjustments, either to your view of the world, or the project at hand, whichever happens to be involved.  The Full Moon on the 24th in Gemini, your Natural 9th House of higher education, legal matters, and long-distance travel, could bring out something that will affect this area, or simply see the culmination of some other activity.

The month closes on a positive note as Venus trines Neptune between November 25 - 28.  This should be particularly nice for Libras since Venus, your ruling planet, will be in your Natural 1st House of personality, making you even more attractive and charming than you already are.  Tie this into your Natural 5th House of children, creativity and love affairs, and the results have simply got to be something good.  It may not be any more than a flash of inspiration, or enjoying a great movie, but something is bound to happen during this time that gives you a warm fuzzy.  Embrace it for all its worth.
