The month of November is home to two intense signs of the zodiac. Hello, Scorpio and Sagittarius!

We usher the month in with Scorpio, which stays in effect until November 21. If you know someone who is a true-blue friend who will stick by you, chances are that person is influenced by Scorpio. This water sign is fascinated with dark and hidden things, and has magnetic charm that can be turned on and off at will. But when the charm is turned off, beware! The Scorpion has no difficulty in freezing out what it no longer wants to investigate.

Some minerals associated with Scorpio include: Botswana Agate; Alamandine Garnet; Azurite-Malachite-Chrysocolla; Charoite; Kunzite; Labradorite; Moonstone; Turquoise; Unakite Jasper.

Sagittarius moves in on November 21 this year, and this archer is always seeking new targets for those arrows. People influenced by the centaur are stubborn, intellectual truth-seekers whose words are out of their mouths before they know it. Sometimes those words are replaced by feet, but generally Sag will find a way to temper the truth, although they are unwilling to hide it for the sake of nicety. This is a sign that likes to use humor if expressing a difficulty, so you may have to ask some direct questions to know what is really bothering your Sagittarian friend.

Some minerals associated with Sagittarius include: Graveyard Plume Agate; Pipestone; Lapis Lazuli; Nuummit; Obsidian; Fire Opal; Smoky Quartz; Sodalite.
