November 2026 Horoscopes: Being selective is sexy

November might be off to a slightly rocky start, especially when it comes to romance and relationships. That’s because love planet Venus and intellectual planet Mercury are retrograding hand-in-hand for nearly the whole first half of November. This retrograde might push everyone to work on their communication and reevaluate what’s worth their time in love.

The new moon in sultry Scorpio on November 9th can bring new levels of intimacy to your relationships. Embrace the depth! Learning from the past can help you build a more emotionally-connected future now.

Mercury and Venus both wrap up their retrogrades on Friday the 13th, bringing clarity and good luck in love ahead of free-spirited Sagittarius season, which starts on November 22nd. This spicy fire sign’s energy gets everyone in the mood for a good time.

The full moon in chatty and goofy Gemini on November 24th could bring unexpected twists or sudden changes of heart in relationships. Approach every surprise with curiosity and open-mindedness. Some curveballs can be blessings in disguise.

While lusty planet Mars spends most of the month in the passionate sign of Leo, it’ll hit Virgo territory the day after the full moon. Starting the last week of this month, being selective is sexy, so go ahead and get more detail-oriented about your desires.

Here are your monthly love and sex horoscopes for November.

Aries

March 20th - April 19th

You’re craving raw depth, vulnerability, and emotional connection with partners this month, especially around the new moon. Communication could be a challenge during this time. Focus more on expressing your passions physically and less on perfectly putting feelings into words. Then, speak your truth under the full moon on November 24th and share what’s on your heart.

Taurus

April 20th - May 20th

It’s a good time to assess whether you’re investing your heart in the right people and situations. Your needs will become clearer during the new moon on November 9th, so embrace new beginnings in love. Your sex life gets a steamy charge-up under the full moon two weeks later, so there could be a playful holiday hook-up in store Thanksgiving week.

Gemini

May 21st - June 20th

Your tastes have been changing in sex and dating, and maybe even in other parts of your life, too, so be willing to approach each encounter with fresh eyes. Just because something wasn’t your cup of tea in the past doesn’t mean it won’t excite you now! Sagittarius season heats things up in love, and could even inspire new commitments with a partner(s). The full moon in your sign on November 24th is the perfect time to speak what’s on your mind and heart.

Cancer

June 21st -July 22nd

Logistics around dating could put a damper on romance at the beginning of the month, but don’t throw in the towel on something over a silly miscommunication. The new moon on November 9th is steaming with potential to forge passionate new connections, so flirtations should start flowing. The full moon on November 24th is perfect for connecting with your pleasures solo. You might be surprised by what you discover.

Leo

July 23rd - August 22nd

You’re shedding old skins and letting go of what doesn’t work for you in order to make room for a glow-up this month, and perhaps a libido boost, too. The timing is great, because your confidence will be especially alluring to those around you, especially leading up to the new moon. The full moon two weeks later is a great time to mingle if you’re single, as there’s potential for an unexpected meet-cute.

Virgo

August 23rd - September 22nd

You may find yourself reflecting on past relationship conversations as the month begins, and perhaps it’s a good time to re-open things up for discussion if you’ve got unfinished business to clear up. The new moon on November 9th can help you connect with your feelings more honestly. Once passion-fueled Mars hits your sign two weeks later, you’ll be buzzing with carnal energy. If you know what you want, make the first move.

Libra

September 23rd - October 22nd

The first two weeks of November have you doing a deep-dive into your self-worth and identifying exactly what’s driving your desires. It’s a cocoon moment, but you’re emerging into your butterfly era for the second half of the month, so go get your flirt on. The new moon on November 24th gives you a craving for new romantic experiences and the curiosity you need to explore romance in unexpected places.

Scorpio

October 23rd - November 21st

Happy birthday, Scorpio! Mercury retrograde has probably prompted a lot of self-reflection, and the new moon in your sign on November 9th is your chance to channel it all into a passionate new beginning. Connect with your desires, new and old. The full moon two weeks later pulls you even deeper into your most intimate connections, exposing the emotions and fears that tend to come up as you get closer to someone.

Sagittarius

November 22nd - December 21st

You’ve got a taste for adventure this month, and it may inspire you to try new things in the bedroom (and outside of it, too). If it feels good, go with it, and don’t worry about whether or not it aligns with the identity you’ve built. Once your birthday season starts, you’ll feel an added boost of confidence. The full moon on November 24th is pivotal for your relationships. Keep an open heart, as you may need to embrace some changes.

Capricorn

December 22nd - January 19th

It’s important to have boundaries in relationships, but they’re only effective if you actually know your wants, needs, and limits. Check in with yourself to make sure you’re honoring your heart without getting trapped inside your comfort zone, especially during the week of the new moon. During the final days of November, casual connections could feel unusually intimate. Instead of putting your guard up, try softening up a little instead.

Aquarius

January 20th - February 18th

You might start to pick up on some stale and unhelpful dynamics in your relationships this month, and it’ll be up to you to make changes. Don’t wait for someone else to break a pattern, if you see an imbalance, address it. On November 24th, the full moon lights up all sorts of fresh and exciting desires, reminding you that there’s always romance to be found somewhere, whether you’re dating around or in a long-term commitment.

Pisces

February 19th - March 19th

Don’t be surprised if a faraway or long-forgotten ex shows back up in your life ahead of the holiday season, or at least the fantasy of one. Visions of the past could trigger some deep feelings under the new moon on November 9th, but by the middle of the month, you’ll be feeling lighter and flirtier. The last week of November rejuvenates your energy in relationships, inspiring you to make the first move and take control.
