Libra Monthy Scope:
If you are in a relationship on November 9, lock the door, hold all calls, and spend delicious time with your partner. If you are seeking romance, your intuition may be right on target about someone who is close by. Later in the month, welcome the opportunity to take a leadership role in activities within your neighborhood or community. Be careful about gossip at the end of the month. Loose words or subtle manipulations could result in conflict. Clear the air on November 23.

Libra Romance Mo. Scope:
Innovative approaches to problem-solving work best for you in the beginning of November, so if you're having romantic difficulties on the 1st and 2nd, try to solve them using a different method than usual. You crave comfort over excitement on the 3rd and 4th, but a good dose of sizzle can put a romantic relationship back on track on the 8th and 9th -- save your most valiant romantic gesture on these days for someone who will truly appreciate them, though, Libra! Scales who are pursuing crushes do not give up easily on the 13th and 14th, but make sure you know where the line between being persistent and overly pushy lies. You can't help but be sympathetic on the 18th and 19th, but don't let your compassion put you in a compromising position -- doing a favor for someone could give them a wrong impression of your true intentions. You strive to be fair when solving romance-related conflicts on the 20th and 21st, but you won't settle for anything less than the truth when you ask your lover for an answer to one of your probing questions on the 22nd through 25th. Most single Librans aren't looking for a long-term commitment on the 28th and 29th, so try not to lead someone on who might not realize you're only interested in a fling.

Libra Career Mo. Scope:
The means justify the ends in the beginning of November, and if you work for a nonprofit or struggling company, you may have to get creative with the use of your limited budget on the 1st and 2nd. You are the team's cheerleader on the 5th, 6th and 7th, and the way you see it, if you all pull together, there's nothing you can't accomplish. Your temper may get out of hand when you're working on something you're passionate about on the 8th and 9th, but you should be able to smooth things over using your gift of gab on the 10th, 11th and 12th. You make an excellent role model on the 15th, 16th and 17th, so if your company has a mentoring program, you may want to sign up to be someone's advisor. You take a realistic yet hopeful approach to your job on the 18th and 19th, and when you combine that attitude with your incredible intensity on the 22nd and 23rd, there's very little you can't accomplish. Covering up the truth with frills isn't your style on the 26th and 27th, and even if the projected numbers aren't pretty, you aren't about to hide them from the people they will eventually affect. Use your spare time on the 30th to apply your artistic talent to a project that needs some new life.

Libra Fitness Scope:
Warming up before you jump into anything strenuous is an absolute necessity on November 1st and 2nd, as is taking the time to stretch out your muscles after you've used them to their maximum capacity. You strive for precision in all of your movements on the 5th, 6th and 7th, but try not to get upset if you don't pick up a new exercise or activity as quickly as you'd like to on the 8th and 9th -- incorporating patience into your workout routine will help you make progress in the long run. You tend to be bored with the same old regimen on the 10th through 17th, so anything you can do to vary your workout on these days will help keep you motivated. Working on your balance and coordination is very beneficial on the 18th and 19th and adding light weights when you walk or run on the 22nd and 23rd can help you elevate the intensity level just a bit so that you begin to sculpt some of those lesser-used muscle groups! A coach, trainer or exercise partner may be in the mood to joke around on the 26th and 27th, but you probably won't join in. You take getting in shape very seriously at the end of the month and goofing off won't help you reach your goals by the 30th.
