The New Moon on the 14^th November is a great time for your little Taurus to seek out close friends. The Full Moon on 29^th highlights issues of self-esteem and what your Taurus child values most in life.

Taurus mums will be focusing on their own relationships this November, with partners being a major focus. For single Taurus mums, the New Moon on the 14^th is a good time to start a new relationship or to put out your intent for a new relationship.

Gemini(21/5 – 20/6)

Routines will be important for your Gemini child during the month of November. Gemini children are not big fans of the familiar, so be flexible with your routine. Family pets may also be important to your little Gemini this month. Health may also be a concern this month. Gemini’s are often prone to chest complaints, so make sure your Gemini child gets enough rest and doesn’t overdo it this month. The New Moon on the 14^th is a great time to encourage your Gemini child to take responsibility for a pet. The Full Moon on the 29^th puts your little Gemini in the limelight for a few days.

Cancer(20/6 – 22/7)

Your little Cancer’s focus will be on fun this November. He or she will love to try new activities, so introduce some new things this month. Spend some time in the kitchen this month, teaching your little Cancer to cook (he or she will love to eat his/her creations)! For older children, it’s a great time to introduce projects such as scrapbooking, where precious family moments can be recorded in a fun and creative way – launch this idea under the New Moon on the 14^th for best results.

Walking along the beach or spending time near water will be very rejuvenating for Cancer mums during November.

Leo(22/7 – 23/8)

This month home and family will be a major focus for your Leo child. Being around those s/he loves will bring a strong sense of security. Your Leo will be more of a homebody this November. Don’t expect him or her to be happy going out too often. The New Moon on the 14^th is a great time to teach your little Leo about helping out around the home. The Full Moon on the 29^th may be an emotional time for your Leo child. Friends may be the ones to trigger emotional responses this month.
