November 2022 Horoscopes: Blood Moon & Scorpio Season

If you thought last month was intense, wait until you see how your November 2022 horoscope pans out! Scorpio season is currently underway, shining a light on our deepest (and darkest) desires. If you keep wanting to stare into the abyss, know that it will eventually stare back into you.

This time of year is not for the faint of heart, as it brings us back in touch with our shadow selves and thins the veil that separates this realm from the next. As Mars continues to retrograde through sharp-tongued and scatterbrained Gemini, you're spending the rest of the month reassessing your impulses and getting to the source of your frustrations. Although you may be tempted to argue, make sure you're not just running in circles.

This month starts off with a bang, as a total lunar eclipse (aka a blood moon) rises at 16 degrees Taurus on November 8. In astrology, a blood moon always signifies a major breakthrough that eventually leads to an important spiritual shift. It may even signify that one chapter of your life is coming to an end and another one is about to begin. During eclipse season, the universe takes over the wheel and makes adjustments to your reality. If you're veering away from your chosen path, an eclipse won't hesitate to turn your life in the right direction, even if it's the last thing we want to do.

This blood moon represents part II of the eclipse season story that began under the shadow of last month's solar eclipse in Scorpio. As this upcoming lunar eclipse joins forces with the North Node of Destiny in Taurus, you can trust that no matter what happens, you're exactly where you're meant to be. Forming an opposition with unpredictable Uranus, this eclipse may coincide with an unexpected blow. Sometimes, the only way to change things for the better is to shake things up!

By November 16, the energy will begin to expand and renew. As Venus leaves behind the dark depths of Scorpio and enters free-spirited Sagittarius, it will encourage you to try something different! Embrace an open mind in your love life and your social life, because you're feeling the urge to spice things up. As Mercury enters Sagittarius on November 17, you may find yourself stepping away from the details so that you can take in the full picture. However, nuance may be more difficult to detect, so keep your instinct to overlook something in check. Sagittarius season begins on November 22, followed by a new moon at 1 degrees Sagittarius on November 23. As the month comes to a close, you may hear the call to adventure growing louder and louder.

On November 23, Jupiter—planet of expansion and growth—will station direct at 28 degrees Pisces. This will bring Jupiter's four-month-long retrograde to an end and leaving us with a reward for all that we've learned. You're healing a part of your life that felt impossible to control with love and acknowledgement rather than anger and resentment.

The month ends at a crossroads, because on November 29, Mercury in expansive Sagittarius will oppose Mars in Gemini, the quintessential devil's advocate. You may feel challenged during this time, as though you need to fight for your dreams and prove that you're worthy of them. Debates may ensue, gauntlets may be thrown, and although it may feel tempting to take the bait, remember to pick your battles wisely and your methods keenly.
