November Love Rankings: Aries Leads the Pack, Taurus Takes It Slow

November's love forecast: hesitant at first, clearer later

Venus stays retrograde until November 14, when it turns direct in Libra. Until then, plenty of people will type a LINE message (Taiwan's go-to chat app), delete it, and type it again, and dates keep getting rescheduled. With Mars and Jupiter in Leo, fire signs feel bolder than usual. The Sun enters Sagittarius on November 22 and the Full Moon lands in Gemini on November 24, so late-month get-togethers are more likely to spark something.

No. 1–4: Admirers lining up

No. 1: Aries

Mars and Jupiter are both in Leo, a fellow fire sign, so you come across as direct and funny, the person everyone remembers after a party.

• Single: Say yes to the hot pot night your friends are planning. If the conversation clicks, set up the next meetup on the spot instead of waiting for them to text.
• Taken: Swap your usual dinner for a place you've never tried and bring back that early-days excitement.

No. 2: Sagittarius

The Sun moves into your sign on November 22. Birthday season boosts your confidence, and your sense of humor wins people over.

• Single: At late-month birthday dinners, stick around for the second round. That's often when new faces show up.
• Taken: Plan next month's long weekend together. Picking a place to stay and hunting for good food is half the fun.

No. 3: Libra

Your ruling planet Venus turns direct in your sign on November 14, and the “should I say it or not” feeling from early in the month starts to loosen.

• Single: Make your move after November 14. Start small, like joining their group-buy order or sending them a song.
• Taken: Save the little frustrations for a quiet evening after mid-month and talk face to face. It works better than going back and forth over text.

No. 4: Gemini

The Full Moon in Gemini on November 24 makes you want to say things clearly, and a situationship is more likely to get an answer.

• Single: Around the Full Moon is a good time to ask “so what are we?” Saying it out loud feels more natural than a wall of text.
• Taken: Splitting bills or chores can turn into an argument around the Full Moon. Eat and sleep first, then talk.

No. 5–8: Warming up steadily

No. 5: Leo

Mars and Jupiter are both in your sign, so you're hard to miss. Your temper runs hot too, so be careful that caring doesn't come out as bossing someone around.

• Single: When someone compliments your outfit, say thanks and keep chatting. A lot of connections start that way.
• Taken: If your partner talks slowly, don't rush them. Let them finish.

No. 6: Aquarius

Pluto is in your sign, and you know exactly what you want in love. You're done spending time on people who only half show up.

• Single: Hobby clubs or online gaming guilds are where you're more likely to meet someone you click with.
• Taken: Take a class neither of you has tried, like pottery. You'll have plenty to talk about.

No. 7: Scorpio

It's your birthday season, but Mercury is retrograde in Scorpio until November 13, so what you mean and what comes out don't always match. The New Moon in Scorpio on November 9 is a good moment to rethink what kind of relationship you really want.

• Single: If an old flame texts out of nowhere, wait a day before replying and figure out whether you miss them or are just lonely.
• Taken: Instead of guessing, just ask, “What did you mean by that?”

No. 8: Pisces

Neptune, your modern ruler, is still retrograde, so a simple “good night” can turn into ten different meanings in your head.

• Single: For a new match on a dating app, meet first at a busy café in the daytime and see how it feels in person.
• Taken: Leave what you want to say on a sticky note. It beats holding it in and waiting for them to notice.

No. 9–12: Take care of yourself first

No. 9: Cancer

Scorpio season shares your water element, and you'd rather stay close to familiar people. You're a bit more guarded with new faces.

• Single: Accept a friend's dinner invitation. It's an easier way to see someone's sincerity than endless swiping.
• Taken: Cook dinner together after work. It's better for real conversation than waiting in line at a trendy restaurant.

No. 10: Capricorn

Year-end overtime piles up, and love tends to slide to the bottom of the list. With Saturn retrograde, you may also wonder whether your current relationship is really what you want.

• Single: Keep one evening a week free from overtime. When your circle opens up, there's room for someone new.
• Taken: Send a quick voice message on your commute. It feels much warmer than a one-word “busy.”

No. 11: Virgo

Apart from the Moon, no planets are in earth signs right now, so love feels a little hard to get a grip on. Once Mars enters Virgo on November 26, your drive comes back.

• Single: Use the rest of the month to tidy your room or get a new haircut, then say yes to invitations near month's end.
• Taken: If they're slow to reply, don't read it as not caring. Everyone is a bit distracted this month.

No. 12: Taurus

Venus is your ruling planet, and while it's retrograde until November 14, you tend to hesitate and overthink. Even choosing which sticker to send back can take forever. Ranking last just means this month is better taken slowly, and once Venus turns direct, things feel a lot lighter.

• Single: Spend the first half of the month watching how they treat friends and servers, then decide after mid-month whether to take the next step.
• Taken: Instead of stewing alone, take them to a restaurant you both love and talk over the meal. Many worries shrink on their own.

A quick love reminder for this month

Before November 14 is a good time to sort out your feelings. Big moves like a sudden confession or a breakup can wait until Venus is direct. These rankings only reflect this month's sky. Signs lower on the list still have romantic chances. They just need a little more patience.
