Connect with Reality

The Sun's presence in sister water sign Scorpio until November 21 should help you relate more effectively with others. It's a world of feelings in which your instincts are likely to function better than your logic. Still, loving Venus is in accommodating Libra and your 8th House of Deep Sharing until November 7. Delicate negotiations may be needed to maintain harmony or to get a fair shake in an important alliance.

Seek the counsel of a calm friend if you get into a bind around November 2. There's a stressful Full Moon then that can create complications that turn a simple misunderstanding into a major roadblock. Of course, it's important that you stand up for yourself, but you can encounter situations where your Piscean ability to subtly work around obstacles is much more effective than attacking them head on.

Venus' shift into Scorpio on November 7 attracts your attention to exotic locales and people from different backgrounds. This can be very helpful in making a meaningful connection while traveling or with an online friend in a faraway place. Your tendency to raise hope above reason can be stirred by Venus' tense 90-degree squares with your two optimistic ruling planets Neptune and Jupiter. The first is on November 23 and the second is on November 25, making this a period when dreams and illusions could exceed common sense. Don't promise more than you can deliver or totally trust someone whose claims may be exaggerated. It's fine to expect the best as long as putting your head in the clouds doesn't disconnect you from reality.
