ASTROLOGY FORECAST
(November 1 - 7)
November begins with a NEW MOON within hours of the Celtic cross quarter day of Samhain, a fire festival to celebrate the harvest. Now, on the heels of the harvest celebration, and the acknowledgment of the veils thinning on All Hallows Eve, perhaps the New Moon can assist us to welcome new ventures and ideas into our individual and collective lives.
The NEW MOON is in Scorpio at 8:47 am EST on 11 /01. Let's begin by analyzing the possibilities when the Moon is in Scorpio.
Scorpio is not a tame sign. The emotions are at a high level. Action can be swift and passionate. The positive expressions can be passion, psychic abilities, compassion, and self confidence. At the same time the shadow tendencies can lean toward cruelty, stubbornness, and aggressive actions.
Fortunately, the vast majority of individuals choose the best traits. For example, as I can speak to personally, Scorpio's can be fantastic friends!
We all will feel the added emotional charge that Scorpio brings. The key will be to take your time and hold back for a time if you feel some of the extreme responses rising. What is available to help you make the best of Scorpio's influence? I'm happy to report that there is much assistance.
Once again there is a Kite Formation in the sky during this day, and two Kites the next day. Can you believe it? We have been rich in this very powerful aspect among a variety of planets and asteroids for the entire month of September, several more days in October, and now continuing on into November. This is an amazing level of support!
Remember that a Kite is formed by a Grand trine and a minor trine.
The Grand Trine involves:
Pluto at 29 degrees Capricorn
Mars at 29 degrees Cancer
Neptune at 29 degrees Pisces
It is very significant that each planet is at the culminating degree of the sign they reside in. The 29th degree is the graduating degree where all of any sign’s full capacities and best traits are encouraged. This can be fortuitous.
The Minor Trine completing the top of the Kite adds Uranus in Taurus sextile to both Mars and Neptune.
This is, once again, involving mostly outer planets that influence large numbers of people all together. With the personal planet Mars, you will be asked to adopt your best version of power. The elements of the signs are two each in water and earth. These are the feminine signs. Flow, ease, and grace is how this NEW MOON invites you to begin something new and soul enhancing.
JUPITER is sextile asteroid Chiron on 11/02. This lends assistance to the clearing process of old energies and wounds that is reaching a crescendo now. We have discussed the clearing/transformation of wounds from our past/parallel lives and ancestors. JUPITER sextile Chiron, the wounded healer, creates an opportunity to clear these wounds. I was curious, so I looked to see where Chiron's devine compliment, asteroid Chariklo, is on the zodiac wheel. I am pleased to say she is in Aquarius, sextile to Chiron, trine to Jupiter. Therefore, you have a minor trine between the three. I think this adds an intriguing, lucky element to the ongoing attempt to balance the female/male energies within ourselves and society. Be receptive to how this assistance may show itself to you.
MERCURY moves into Sagittarius on 11/03 until 1/08/25. This is a very long stay due to an upcoming retrograde cycle. That will be very interesting for all of us now. A transit through Sagittarius finds us more interested in, and open to expansive concepts. Sagittarius is a far sighted, galactic sign. Mental Mercury flirts with new ideas and developments during the sojourn through Sagittarius. Idealism, hope, and fairness are analyzed with an enthusiastic flair. One trait tends to be a certain inconsistent nature to our thoughts. This is the time for brainstorming, not necessarily for the implementation of the many good ideas received. That comes later. In the meantime, enjoy the mental play with many new, intriguing ideas throughout the rest of this year.
Asteroid JUNO moves into Scorpio until 2/19/25. JUNO specializes in deep devotion, utmost loyalty, and spiritual soul centered relationships. The transit through Scorpio will add a significant level of intensity. The combination of JUNO in Scorpio will add a level of passion to a long term, deep connection with another, or to a life's mission. It could also apply to relationships with those individuals who are in your life to help you fulfill a soul contract.
MARS moves into Leo on 11/03 until 1/06/25, when it's retrograde interval takes it back into Cancer for a time. MARS in Leo is very strong in leadership, willpower, self confidence, and creativity in a very action oriented way. The same qualities taken to an extreme can make this placement abrasive and off-putting. This is one that calls for finesse.
MARS is currently in opposition to PLUTO. This causes friction. If all of the character traits mentioned above are taken to extremes, this opposition will likely bring unwanted consequences. If, however, you employ the inherent nobility of the Leo Lion, this opposition can be an opportunity. New methods of leadership may emerge. The important point is that this is a long term aspect. MARS and PLUTO track on opposite sides of the zodiac wheel within the effective arc of opposition through 1/22/25.
We may see a great many examples of leadership, power, and strength wielded for both good and bad - and a great difference of opinion as to which is which. To the extent that this is already happening, don't be surprised if it escalates.
Overall, there is a great deal of positive assistance available to us in the first week of November. The NEW MOON is the highlight.
Because PLUTO is in his final days in Capricorn, we will all be making decisions about what we wish to transform. May you find an abundance of love and grace to guide you.
