The month begins with a powerful New Moon in the zodiac sign Scorpio, but it's not the only significant astrological event taking place this November.

Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, Inbaal said: "From November 5, Mercury, the planet of communication, is going retrograde in Sagittarius. When this happens, communication is a hair's breadth away from falling apart.

"From phones that inexplicably stop working to postal packages that never reach their destination, Mercury retrograde is a time of confusion and tension.

"Since this event happens in the jolly sign of Sagittarius, this is one sign that feels the brunt of it, but there are two other signs that can't avoid the long arm of the retrograde.

"Mercury rules both sociable Gemini and fastidious Virgo, so their short-term plans will go awry. Gemini's party invitations could go missing, and Virgo's filing labels might be out of stock in the stationery store."

Scorpio - October 23 to November 21

Happy Scorpio season! The New Moon is always in Scorpio during Scorpio season, so this new moon on November 1 is your cue to start something new, something Scorpionic. Perhaps a new creative project is learning a new psychic art or taking a new lover. Scorpio season is known for being mysterious, dramatic, and intense. This means you'll meet more fascinating people, have some unusual experiences, and maybe even be invited to an escape room or a midnight showing of a classic horror all right up your street.

Sagittarius - November 22 to December 21

Sagittarius season is coming soon, and you're already making your mark around the signs. The month starts with Venus, the planet of love, in Sagittarius for 11 days. This means romance for you and possible interactions with Libra and Taurus friends ruled by this planet. From November 3 onwards, Mercury, the planet of communication, is also in Sagittarius. Zoom calls and job interviews will go extremely well, and Virgo and Gemini friends will flock around you, as Mercury is their ruler. On November 25, Mercury turns retrograde, so the fun slows down.

Capricorn - December 22 to January 19

A huge change is coming into your life, bringing much more peacefulness forever, Capricorn. For nearly 20 years, there's been random chaos in your life, courtesy of Pluto, the planet of transformation. This planet has been in your sign since 2008, and that's the reason that things have been a little shaky and unreliable at times. For the past two years, this planet has been dipping in and out of your sign, switching with Aquarius here and there - but now it's leaving you for the next 200 years. Mark November 19 on your calendar as the date you can finally make a plan and stick to it!

Aquarius - January 20 to February 18

Pluto, the planet of transformation, is going into your sign on November 19, and it will stay there for 20 years, so it would be good to get comfortable with it. This planet has been dipping in and out of Aquarius over the past two years, so it would be the reason that your best-laid plans may have been scuppered at the last minute. It's here to stay, so Pluto will bring hidden truths to light every month. As you're a sign that you love honesty, this will be a welcome improvement. It means those around you won't be able to keep a secret or lie to you. Pluto also means rebirth, so it will be done if you've wanted to transform your life with a new career or a new look.

Pisces - February 19 to March 20

On November 10, 11 and 12, the moon is in your sign. This is when your intuition and gentleness come to the fore, and you're more empathetic, understanding, kinder and better at advising than usual. Since you're a sensitive friend and partner even on your 'off' days, you'll be doing incredible work when those lunar tides uplift you. This entire month, both responsible Saturn and spiritual Neptune are in your sign, so you'll excel at your work opportunities and in prioritising your spiritual health.

Aries - March 21 to April 19

No more Mr. Nice Guy, right Aries? During the first three days of the month, you're sensitive, attentive and devoted to your favourite people. Passionate Mars, your ruling planet, is in sensitive Cancer, which tames the planet's fire and tames you right alongside it. But on the 4th, the planet transits into fiery Leo. You raise your finger and say, 'listen here...', and the Leo vibe pushes you into taking the lead and pressing forward, letting everyone know you're in charge. A promotion may be on the cards, although it could be self-administered. Don't be shy about leading with fire; your followers depend on you to speak for them.

Taurus - April 20 to May 20

It's a confident month for you, Taurus, because your ruling planet, romantic Venus, spends the month in two signs that align well with your personality. Until November 11, this planet is in adventurous Sagittarius, bringing you fine dining and invitations to swanky events - how perfect! Then, Venus enters luxurious Capricorn, a sign that promises you a few weeks of surprise-quality freebies. In addition, on November 15, the full moon is in Taurus, which makes it the perfect time to wish for new things. The issue is - what else can you possibly wish for?

Gemini - May 21 to June 21

It's a dual month for you, Gemini, meaning you have urges, events, and plans that are exactly opposite. How very Gemini of you! On the one hand, generous Jupiter, the planet of wealth and expansion, is in your sign all month, Gemini. This means that financial opportunities will be presented to you, and you'll see great possibilities unfold. On the other hand, Jupiter will retrograde all month (and beyond), meaning those opportunities will be unclear, tricky, or delayed.

Cancer - June 21 to July 22

The final supermoon of the year is upon us, and for Cancer - the moon is your astrological ruler, so each full moon impacts you, especially a supermoon. The previous three full moons were all supermoons; this is the fourth consecutive one. The Zodiac moon sign is amplified during the supermoon and affects everybody. This supermoon happens to be in a stable Taurus, so you'll find that those around you will be drawn to gentle activities and library visits. You, Cancer, are already a fan of those activities, so the supermoon on the 15th will inspire you to book long, leisurely dinners out and maybe spend days in, starting to write your book.

Leo - July 23 to August 22

From November 4 onwards, the planet Mars is in Leo. Since this is the planet of passion and battle, you can expect fiery days ahead. Mars influences physical attraction, which means you'll receive a lot of attention from new admirers. This planet also impacts arguments, so expect to be standing up for others and not backing down from discussions, even if the subject of conversation is unpleasant or unsavoury. If this month loses you any friends, they were never your allies in the first place, as you uphold justice, and so should they.

Virgo - August 23 to September 22

You act a little out of character this month, Virgo, but boy, isn't it fun! It's all down to your ruling planet, chatty Mercury, which starts the month in the intense sign of Scorpio. Your everyday nature is sensible and above board, but those Scorpio vibes push you to experiment with new ideas until November 2. From November 3 onwards, your planet moves to the adventurous sign of Sagittarius, which again pushes you right out of your comfort zone. Instead of predictable, reasonable pastimes, you find yourself at parties, events, and maybe even abroad on a whim!

Libra - September 23 to October 22

As we leave Libra season behind us, you settle into a new year post-birthday, and it starts well! Your ruling planet, romantic Venus, is in the fun-loving sign of Sagittarius for the first 11 days of November. You break free from your graceful, elegant nature and experiment with more spontaneous, unpredictable events, such as making new friends and trying new cuisines. From November 12 onwards, you're back to being serious when your planet moves to the smart sign of Capricorn. This sign is great with business, so you could be looking at a promotion soon.
