It’s all going down in your fourth house of endings and beginnings. Your new inner home is key, but with your ruler Mercury in retrograde November 9 – 29, no need to be anxious: you just need to be patient! You’re giving birth to parts of yourself neglected for a long, long time. If loved ones are pressuring you to get with the holiday spirit, well, tell them you want to stay in. It’s your last month to enjoy it. Grab with both hands and enjoy.

Stay comfy. Button up. Wear warmer sweaters (you tend to get colder than other signs).

For your fourth house of home and private living, ruled by security-conscious Cancer, has these wonders in it:

Awesome Sun, the giver of life, light and energy

Beautiful Venus, planet of love and beauty

Sexy, powerful Mars until December 15

Adoring Juno

Brilliant Mercury, your ruler, thought and word planet after December 11

An exciting new Sagittarius Moon Friday, December 19

And your fourth house, ruled traditionally by comfort-loving Cancer, covers these areas of your life:

Home

Property

Security

Your real estate

Your garden or land

Your early family

Roots

Interesting behavior from your father

Finding that behavior not so enjoyable in your partner

Your opinion of yourself outside work

Your ability to nurture others (and not resent it)

If ever there were someone to decide about home and property this November, it is you. Many of you will be moving now, renting, selling, renovating.

Early family members are also much more in the picture than usual.

The ideal you have of everyone happily gathered together will have to be revised, as you are also having wild daydreams about being outside the home and on a creative self-adventure. Your ambition lust is particularly revived by the full Moon in your tenth career house December 4.

Relatives and / or neighbors seem to be having a harder time communicating, and you’re being urged to do “the right thing” and to be patient until they can. What you say and do has a profound effect on others, remember.

Concern about home and where you are living is foremost but Jupiter retrograde in your eleventh house is about secrets being revealed. Over the next year is the messy mopping up. The clean sweep. You’ll find out secrets of those near and dear to you, as well as some hidden communications. WHY so and so hasn’t been communicating with you. All will be revealed, all with good reason.

A good astrologer is a great detective as well as a healer, and I’ve always been a personal fan of the kid who shouts out the truth in Hans Christian Andersen’s The Emperor’s New Clothes. Our beloved writer of moralistic fairy tales was born a brave Aries on April 2, 1805 in Odense, Denmark.

Going further here, Scorpio traditionally rules the eighth house, which rules, beyond secrets, other people’s money, shared resources, mutual funds, taxes, inheritance. A certain financial matter or secret arrangement is revealed.

Within your own chart look at which planets you have in Scorpio and in which houses. Also on which cusp you have Scorpio. This gives you a clue as to where more light of day – secrets, revelations – will soon shine!

In your case, Virgo, look at the areas of your third house of communications.

Get ready for a shock to your relationship world. Something will change suddenly or unexpectedly.

This pertains to a business partnership or contract as well. Your seventh house rules contracts of all kinds.

Best reaction: play it cool, take it easy, go lightly, sing your way through it.

Perfection is your goal. But, particularly in relationships, can you compromise? Can you talk about what you want? About what’s been bothering you?

You may have recently judged a close tie as being incapable. Certain people have been cut off in your life.

Single Virgos: give us mere mortals a chance.

Attached Virgos: listen more to your mate. And give us mere mortals a chance.

This has been a challenging year, no doubt about that. You have had to restrain yourself as well. In more ways than one. In work and your career, you continue to be excellent, as ever.

Your outlook as you enter 2026 is not grim, however, by any means. It is full of light and love, and of you accomplishing stupendous things! I do not say this lightly.

You have worked for everything that is currently in your universe. Trust that you have been doing the right thing. Doing the right thing has asked a lot of you. You have come to the right place.

You meet someone out of the blue who becomes your best friend. Or a new business partner. Your marriage suddenly begins giving you more joy. An engagement is announced. You sign on with someone truly prestigious. You bump into your husband-to-be or wife-to-be on the street. Literally bump into them.

In love you’re longing for what is beyond the usual horizon of intimacy at this time. Be careful of what you wish for, because this month you may very well get it! What you honestly feel, and want, and think.

You are through with being so hard on yourself, and with giving yourself near-impossible challenges — at least for this year. Practice being good to yourself and giving yourself what you need.

As you mother yourself, so of course, you mother those you love. Rather than worrying, criticizing, or condemning, be generous. Try this with everyone.

So, if you are feeling out of sorts about your home or property, that’s normal. Also about communications regarding this. Your confusion will clear within three weeks.

For my British friends and whoever might be in London in Spring — the date for my Palmistry 101 course is Saturday, April 11 at The College of Psychic Studies. Book soon as size class is limited. And so I can give mini readings to all in the class!

It’s a 6-hour workshop, 11am to 5pm, we’ll have lunch together, and the fee of 130 pounds includes a mini reading from me in the class and membership to the historic College.

It’s a great honor to be teaching at The College of Psychic Studies again (I first taught, lectured, and read there in 2001). Founded in 1884, it has an impressive history. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes) was President of the College 1901 – 1904. The College is located in South Kensington where I went to school as a child. It’s one of the most beautiful areas of London.

Simply put, I cannot wait to see you / meet you there!
