November 2009

Neptune, retrograde since May 28, goes direct November 4. While Neptune was retrograde the fog has been extra thick and we have had to sort through a lot of baloney thrown our way. Purveyors of propaganda have had a field day but at last we are able to pick through what is real and what is blown out of proportion. In the days around November 4 there is an extra bit of confusion, but soon the fog will subside.

Saturn is now rearranging our relationships as he makes his way through Libra. Throughout this month and through next February we will be experiencing Saturn in Libra squaring Pluto in Capricorn. The aspect is exact November 15 . Somewhere in our lives we will be feeling blocked or at a dead end. These situations are our notice that certain arrangements need to be reinvented. There is sure to be a stronger call for reform in our financial and medical systems. At the same time those calls for modification will be met with equal resistance. Relationships of all sorts must evolve or end. Those of us born during the early days of any sign are most affected by the need to climb over blocks thrown in our way. If you are resistant to the adjustments at hand, your time will be tougher than if you embrace the current shift in consciousness on the planet. Watch your back, your budget, and make plans for a rainy day or even a drought.

Don’t get carried away with the previous doom and gloom because Jupiter once again joins Neptune and Chiron in Aquarius as he did April through August. This humanitarian energy compels us to join with our fellow beings in group dynamics that helps us to achieve our goals. A sense of community begins to prevail as we join to help those in need thus helping humanity as a whole. In the days around November 10, the Sun in Scorpio is ninety degrees from Jupiter in Aquarius. Take time to help someone in need because we are all equal no matter what you hear in the media. Take a breather from shopping because the bargains will tempt us to overspend. News of outrageous corporate behavior is sure to arouse us at mid month. 

November 1

Mercury in Scorpio is ninety degrees from Mars in Leo. Both signs can be exacting in their nature so with this angle between these two planets many of us are sure to feel anxious and frustrated. Pent up energy can emerge into arguments or accidents especially for Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius, and Taurus. Proceed with caution for the next few days.

November 2

The Full Moon occurs at 1:14 pm CST in Taurus. The full Moon is always a time when our hopes dreams and even our fears come to fruition. Emotions are high now especially where money and other values are concerned. This full Moon will compel many of us to contemplate our budget and the efficiency with which we handle our funds. Since this full Moon is square Mars and opposite Mercury, we may not be so happy with financial news. Try to avoid drama, there will be plenty to go around.

Venus in Libra is one hundred twenty degrees from Neptune sitting still in Aquarius. This is a great aspect for those that might be stressed out about money now because Venus trine Neptune lends inspiration to our practical routine. Aquarius, Libra, and Gemini are creative and wise so give one of them a call if you feel freaked out today or tomorrow.

November 5

The Sun is conjunct Mercury in Scorpio.  This is a day of communication and sharing of ideas. Since this event takes place in Scorpio thoughts are intense and conversations are about deep matters. Aquarius, Leo, and Taurus are a bit stressed over news and that pile of papers that will not go away.

November 7

Venus enters Scorpio until December 1. Venus is not at her best in Scorpio because she can be jealous and vengeful in this sign. Over the coming weeks Scorpio, Cancer, and Pisces are sure to look hot in that leather outfit but the rest of us must avoid extreme behavior, as it will not wear well on us.

November 8

Mercury still in Scorpio is ninety degrees from Jupiter who is making dreams come true in Aquarius. Life is looking good but be sure you have all the facts in proportion. Grand behavior is not attractive to some of us. Scorpio, Aquarius, Leo, and Taurus are stressed by keeping up appearances.

Venus in Scorpio is sixty degrees from Pluto in Capricorn. Many of us are feeling passionate and sexy. Our attractions are intense this evening. Relationships begun now are sure to be fervent. Hold off on consummating anything though until November 22.

November 11-15

Mercury and the Sun are one hundred twenty degrees from Uranus, retrograde in Pisces. Uranus is innovative and Mercury is full of ideas but since Uranus is retrograde and the Sun and Mercury are square nebulous Neptune we are wise to hold off initiating ideas just now. Enjoy the erratic flow of these days and don’t make any life changing decisions just yet. All the facts are not apparent.

Once Mercury enters Sagittarius on November 15 – December 5 our attention turns to the affairs of the world. Our thoughts are optimistic and many of us feel adventurous. Sagittarius, Aries, and Leo are busy making plans while Virgo, Pisces, and Gemini are sorting through piles of paper and rearranging their schedules.

November 16

The new Moon occurs in Scorpio at 1:14 pm CST. The new Moon in Scorpio calls for us to dig deep into our psyche to discover our own machinations. Since the new Moon is trine Uranus and square Neptune, many of us will be experiencing states of awareness that we do not usually experience in our daily lives. As always with a new Moon, now is the time to sow seeds for future harvest.

Since Mercury now in Sagittarius is sixty degrees from Saturn in Libra we are able to work on any task that requires focused attention.

November 19

Venus in Scorpio is ninety degrees from Mars in Leo. Physical attractions are palpable especially for Aries, Leo, Scorpio, and Cancer. Relations that start now are based solely on physical attributes. Take time to get to know potential suitors before running off into the sunset.

November 21

News of other cultures and travel are on our minds at this time. Look to the big picture of life and stay away from the local news, it will just bring you down. Sagittarius, Aries, and Leo are at one of their better times of the year for the most part while Virgo, Pisces, and Gemini are still making adjustments in order to get comfortable with their routines and tasks.

November 23

Venus, still in Scorpio is ninety degrees from Jupiter in Aquarius. Our discipline will be checked at the door as this impulsive aspect has many of us over indulging in most activities. Scorpio and Aquarius must maintain control or wake up in the next few days with a hangover both literally and figuratively.

Venus still in Scorpio is ninety degrees from Neptune in Aquarius. This is normally an incredibly romantic aspect. Since Venus is in Scorpio, love and flowers can turn into thorns and manure. If there is trouble in paradise perhaps it is because our expectations have become limitations. 

November 29 -30

Mercury in Sagittarius is sixty degrees from Jupiter in Aquarius and ninety degrees from Uranus in Pisces. Mercury is curious and Jupiter usually has an answer. Educational matters are quite favorable especially if pursued during foreign travel. Inquiring minds will have to be satisfied, but with the square to Uranus we must all watch our step. One misstep or look away from the wheel insures an accident. Proceed with caution.

Those who have been diligent receive rewards while those who were inefficient receive disappointments and must go back to the drawing board of life.
