Your November 2024 Horoscope for Sagittarius
by Susan MillerThis month starts out slowly and quietly, and for that you will be grateful. You’ve had a lot of activity in your life, so the new moon in Scorpio that occurs on November 1 will bring you a chance to catch your breath and think about all you would like to accomplish in your coming birthday year. A new moon is not influential for just a day but for months, and this new moon is outstandingly special. I will say, however, that a new moon is especially powerful at the time when it appears and for the 10 days that follow.
This new moon lights your twelfth house, a house of healing, rest, and at times, confinement. In the case of confinement, this sector rules hospitals, nursing homes, rehab centers, physical therapy clinics, and other areas of care. If you need a surgery, you might want to schedule the operation for a date during the first two weeks of November. This will be a good, strong month, but we are heading into a slew of retrogrades from the smaller “personal” planets. These are the ones that orbit closest to earth and that we feel strongest when they retrograde—Mercury, Mars, and Venus.
First the little “Dennis the Menace” planet Mercury will go retrograde from November 25 to December 15, throwing a monkey wrench into your holiday shopping and shipping. (Mercury rules commerce, transportation, and shipping.) It is never wise to sign a contract or buy any items with electronic chips or mechanical gears inside during Mercury retrograde. This would probably not be a good time for elective surgery either, unless it is urgent, and for that you should do it immediately—your doctor can make that call. However, the Sun in Sagittarius will warm the healing center of your chart, so this would be an excellent time to not only see a medical doctor but also a trained therapist if you need to talk over a problem or become free of a substance that is hurting your health.
Saturn will be in ideal communication with the November 1 new moon, so the progress you make will remain with you—Saturn gives slow but sure, step-by-step progress that lasts. Since Saturn is traveling through your family sector, if you have been troubled by a relationship with a family member, Saturn is urging you to seek psychological help. Afterward, you would feel so much freer and lighter.
