November starts with five planets in retrograde, and begs the question, what are you choosing this month, what are you reviewing, reclaiming, and then meeting with conscious awareness? Scorpio demands this reflection, so that we bring the hidden and more subtle subconscious to consciousness, where Mars, Jupiter and the South Node in Leo, demand you are held accountable for what you bring to the party.
4th November: Mercury Cazimi @ 12’ Scorpio as Mars Enters Shadow Zone in Leo
If you felt the August eclipse powerfully, Mars is about to reignite those sensations again on the 4th November. This time around we are meant to take some kind of responsibility, to know that we are the active agents here, we are the creators of our reality. It’s all your own work. Mercury going Cazimi in Scorpio is ready to light up our inner worlds, unspoken thoughts, so we understand whatever psychological processes, pains, sorrows, losses are causing our reality to manifest. You can expect some karmic events to unfold, and will recognise the energy of past situations repeating. This time you can choose to respond differently. Mars, Jupiter & the South Node in Leo will meet on 14th November forcing a reckoning of personal skills, attitude and integrity. There may be a decision about no longer compromising yourself with other people’s diktats or peccadilloes.
9th November: New Moon @ 16’ Scorpio
So there is the dual aspect of your vibe versus your internal dialogue, as the Scorpio aspects will augment what is happening in the inner worlds, and inclines us to take notice of the undercurrents flowing through our lives. So if you haven’t become aware of the habitual issues or situations appearing in your life, the New Moon on 9th November will ask, no, demand, that you address deeper concerns, where perhaps you have been using a coping mechanism as part of your character, or where self-sabotage mode keeps repeating. These Scorpio events are inviting exactitude and searing honesty, but also provide a moment for planting seeds of desire, hope and healing that can absolutely amount to the huge transformation that Pluto and Scorpio love. Use this Scorpio New Moon to reclaim your agency, re-align with your truth and do not shy away from what confronts you.
13th & 14th November: Mercury & Venus Stations Direct. Mars, Jupiter & South Node Conjunction In Leo
These two personal planets stationing direct, is where this work pays off. Everything you realised in the last few weeks, possibly about events from six months previously, a lifetime ago maybe, can now be put into action. Mercury and Venus are giving each of us the approval to take what is ours, to align with our soul’s mission, to take the decisions to progress our talents and propositions. The Leo conjunction is a powerful prompt to consider how visibility serves our projects in this new world - observing that validation comes from our own happiness and not from the applause it gains.
22nd November: Sun Ingress Sagittarius
The five planets in retrograde that started November are like the archer’s bow being pulled back, but now these two personal planets are moving direct and the Sun steps into the sign of the centaur, the arrow can now fly free - so check where it is pointed. This is a Fire Horse year too, so we must be prepared to take the reins and gallop ahead, using this fast paced energy for more dynamic moves. Mars will be going retrograde on 10th January, so we have until then to ‘make hay whilst the sun shines’. No more inner world naval gazing. Our projects and ideas need action and it is a blessing that some of these will be flourishing with this fresh outlook.
24th November: Full Moon @ 2’ Gemini, Conjunct Uranus @ 3’ (trine Pluto @ 3’ Aquarius)
This Gemini Full Moon is a delightfully tricky, super interesting, engaging, perhaps funny and flirty, perhaps lying, cheating, scamming lunation to test our mettle - or fry our brains. Anxiety might be at an all time high, so be observant and forgiving of those that are triggered and fractious. With Uranus bringing the thunderstorm and lightning level of action, we could see the tech world explode. Is this the predicted ‘three days of darkness’, disabling communications via random solar flares or government plans to disable our networks. Are you ready with your canned food? Uranus at this Gemini Full Moon is the crazy spark for something quite mad and unusual to happen. Maybe the aliens arriving, but not as a physical presence but in our heads, to start talking to us - totally unlike anything we have imagined so far. Opportunity knocks with this Full Moon, so do not waste this opportunity to exercise your creativity and inspiration, or do something completely bonkers.
25th November: Mars Ingress Virgo
It is fortuitous that Mars moves into Virgo straight after this crazy Full Moon, because we need the discernment and correctness that Mars can deliver in this earth sign. Mars in Virgo is the spoonful of medicine to help the ‘what just happened’ go down. This analytical process will stay in process way into next year through Mars’ retrograde, that asks us to see the ‘devil in the details’ and not allow situations to go unchecked for quite some time.
29th November: Uranus Rx Trine Pluto Exact @ 2’ (2 of 5)
Uranus, our planet of enlightenment is repeatedly meeting Pluto via a trine over the next few years. On the 29th, their trine delivers a lightning bolt of excitement and chaos to drive society to new levels of understanding and intelligence, be that ai or transhumanism. We are heading this way whether we like it or not, and whilst this is an unavoidable current, society does have a choice (rather than governments), as to how we interact with knowledge not of this world, and non-human consciousness.
