Welcome to November, stars!
After a whirlwind round of October eclipses, we’re headed for a different kind of reckoning: election season and the onslaught of holidays, both of which will test our tact, strength, and ability to breathe through emotional triage.
Fun.
The month begins with a new moon in Scorpio on November 1, setting an intense tone for the transformative weeks ahead.
On November 3rd, with the closest presidential election in decades, death daddy Pluto in Capricorn will directly oppose warmonger Mars in Cancer. The energy here is powerful, but it can also support self-control and unleashing a death blow (a Pluto/Mars poem) on things that are dead, dying, or determined to destroy us.
I can’t think of a better day to quit smoking, break up with a narcissist, or swear off corn syrup.
On November 11, Venus, our planet of possessions, relationships and aesthetics, moves, or rather, power moves ino Capricorn. Venus in Cap knows what she wants and wants it to last, providing an impetus to commit or disengage—depending on the ROI.
On November 15, the Full Moon in Taurus rises and shines.
The Moon is exalted in Taurus, which means our luminary of food and security lives to bask in the pleasure pastures of Taurus. But this year, dashing and lightning-fast Uranus is in the mix, making us prone to impulses, excesses and outbursts. Tread carefully, and since Taurus rules the throat, speak your mind—lest you choke on the dry husk of your honest diatribes.
On the same day, Saturn goes direct in Pisces after months of retrograde; this stationing should help us all see a little more clearly and move purposefully towards dreams and schemes that may have felt stuck in neutral/energetic purgatory since June.
On November 19, power planet Pluto sets up shop in Aquarius, where the dark lord will reign for the next two decades. Pluto in Aquarius will (hopefully) usher us all into the age of the utopian alien where we can rise to the strange and perhaps even subvert the dry, exploitative, capitalist structure of yore.
Stay tuned.
On November 21, the sun moves from the crypts of Scorpio to the pirate sails of Sagittarius, providing a much-needed spiritual lift.
Get it while you can, folks – Mercury retrograde begins on November 25th. The trickster planet will be in peak interference until December 15th.
This is a relatively short retrograde period for Mercury, but if we consider the shadow period, it will last through both Thanksgiving and Christmas, which can mean more explosions and internal strife. But in the Sag spirit, what is spilled, spoken or broken can lead to broader views and better connections.
There is hope here. Read about your sun and birth signs.
Scorpio season highlights your eighth house of sex, secrets, endings and beginnings, Aries. While you have no problem finding fuel for your proverbial fire, this month has you wondering what can be built upon the pile of what has been burned.
To help you on your scaffolding, I bring you the words of fellow Aries and Dadaist poet Tristan Tzara: “Not old, not new, but necessary.”
Scorpio season casts a shadow over your seventh house of partnership, Taurus. The Full Moon and Uranus in your sign at mid-month promise something shocking to your system and to the foundation of your trusted relationships.
Remember, my taurus babies, while we would rarely, if ever, choose to be rocked or completely overturned, in the currents we often thrive.
This month, themes of routine and ritual are at the fore for you, Gemini. Consider the ways in which the former can rise to the latter. In relation to your daily life, certain situations, such as living quarters, jobs, hobbies, etc., may feel inconvenient for you this month.
Use this energy to look for unexpected alternatives. While you don’t have to change everything, wealth is with you if you choose.
The Sun in Scorpio waters floods your house of fun, Cancer, offering countless opportunities for fancy flights, afternoon delights and falling dice.
There is little friction between opportunities for praise and the pressing demands of everyday life. Don’t miss your chance to play ball, baby.
If you’re not able to say, ‘Take this job and push it,’ try to build fun into each day, every day. Eat an ice cream on your lunch break, put your bare feet on the grass, go dancing with strangers. For energetic inspiration, I recommend watching “Hook,” starring the moon child, the late great Robin Williams.
Scorpio season asks you to dig deep into your root system, Leo. Use your sign’s theatrical merits to analyze the tangled threads.
If you see your life as performance art, are the parts of mother, father, elder, sage, and brother played by the right people in ways that make you feel confident and brave? Free and complete. If not, it’s time to reframe.
The Sun in Scorpio places a seashell in the ear of your third house of communication, Virgo.
For the first half of the month, Mercury, your ruling planet, will also be in Scorpio, encouraging you to listen carefully to messages of all kinds from all sources.
The veil between worlds is at its thinnest this time of year, so if you’re in the mood to seek guidance or reassurance from someone you’ve lost, now is the time to set out a can to call upon the dead.
Scorpio season highlights your second house of values and valuables, Libra, house of cash and cold, hard faith.
In astrology, as in salary, there is a direct correlation between our earning potential and our concept of what we deserve. With that in mind, I hope you’ll evaluate before you say yes to anyone. Being wanted and needed by others is not an adequate reason to avoid your pursuits. No more martyrdom as a means of self-sabotage, Libra! Overcome your fear of not being enough by claiming and doing exactly what you want.
Happy return of the sun to you, Scorpio. This month begins with a powerful new moon in your sign, offering you a chance for rebirth in the dark night. Your sign is synonymous with transformation and trauma, but this time of year, challenge and change can take the form of a physical adjustment. Fashion is a language, and the best way to communicate your latest incarnation may be in stoic armor or the screaming neon of a new outfit.
Pro tip: Imagine how your favorite movie character or mythical figure would fit into our broken, modern world. What does Medusa wear to the grocery store? Hades in the club? Does my horse go for a run?
The Sun in fixed Scorpio waters always invites introspection. However, the call is stronger for you, Sagittarius, while Scorpio highlights your twelfth house of conclusions, ghosts, hidden forces, and the subconscious mind.
Experts agree that the best way to influence the subconscious is through repetition of words; basically, what we speak becomes what we believe. You can find a mantra that makes you master of yourself.
The Sun in Scorpio highlights your eleventh house of community and connection, Capricorn. You tend to be a one-of-a-kind type, ensuring absolute perfection and glory.
However, this season, with Pluto in its final death throes and the degree of your sign, you are called upon to call upon others, if not as direct collaborators, then as unexpected sources of insight and inspiration.
The wilder and wider the net you cast, the richer you will be.
PS – Trees, animals, children and ghosts in your car and/or dreams all count as community members who can contribute to your cause.
Ahoy, Aquarius! The big news for you is the entry of death father Pluto into your sign, heralding a period of serious transformation, especially in relation to how you hold, hold and experience power.
As an outer planet with a very long orbit, this impact will not be instantaneous.
Still, water bearers can set the stage and pave the way for Pluto to do its work by eradicating anything that weakens it, be it habits, beliefs, heritage or relationships.
Believe me, my boys – in due time, if you do not surrender these things freely, they will be taken away by force.
Finally, Saturn is going direct in your sign, Pisces. Saturn is known as the Great Teacher, and while his lessons are rarely easy, they are formative. Saturn’s guidance leans heavily on themes like patience and sacrifice—again, not a lot of good times and happy rags.
To that end, you may face obstacles and setbacks that feel sharp in the moment—but later prove to be the breadcrumbs and levers that lead you on the right path and equip you to open doors and windows of opportunity. truths.
