Get ready for a month full of passion beginning on November 1st as cerebral Mercury enters intense Scorpio, followed by the cosmic lovers, Venus and Mars, conjuncting on the November 2nd and turning up the heat in romance. This passion fully manifests when it comes to love, but also in other areas. People tend to be very sensitive about everything they say and do – sometimes, even too passionate. And in some cases, emotions, feelings, and instincts maybe stronger than reason this month.
The Venus-Mars conjunction could lead to intense love affairs or memorable artistic creations, but could also generate a lot of tensions, impulsive decisions, ill-advised actions, and even conflicts – particularly during the second part of November. Fortunately, we may prefer the non-confrontational approach when loving Venus enters her home sign of Libra on November 8th. While Venus is in this sign that she rules, we'll get to enjoy the true essence of elegance, refinement, and beauty. Libra is associated with justice, fairness, and balance. Anything to do with the crudeness of conflict is to be avoided at all costs. Libra is an air sign, so its energy is light and quick.
This month’s New Moon on November 11th will be in the psychological sign of Scorpio, helping us to shift our consciousness from external relationships to more internal issues. Depth and meaning are qualities that give value to our existence. There are many mysteries in life that intrigue us and invite us to delve a little deeper. This is a time when you find yourself looking within, seeking to understand yourself more truly. Look at the areas in your life that need healing. Some of it may be physical, but much of it is probably emotional.
The following day, action-oriented Mars enters passive Libra--a place where the expressions of the planet’s natural inclinations are confined by the rules and regulations set out by the qualities of this air sign. Mars, God of War, is not at all happy to be in a sign where polite conversation and tact are the rules of the day. He doesn't like all that pussy-footing around. Understandably, from time to time, he has a little explosion and tells it like he sees it. When Mars is in Libra, we all become a little feistier; perhaps shooting off our mouths, only to recant upon hearing the next reasonable argument. On the plus side, we have lots of energy to put into getting our party together and throwing an all-together perfect bash with all the harmony we can stand.
We’ll be able to speak our minds with ease once communicator Mercury enters quick-witted Sagittarius on November 20th. There's no beating around the bush when Mercury moves into fiery Sagittarius. As the God of messages enters the sign of wisdom and philosophy, we all start thinking a little broader and smarter. Words will fly as Mercury's winged feet combine with the prancing hooves of Sagittarius. For the next couple of weeks, refrains of "it's the principle of the thing" will surely echo throughout the mountain tops. Just don't shoot yourself in the foot over it.
As we move toward the last month of the year, the Sun moves into Sagittarius, sign of the Centaur - half man and half horse. The man half aims his arrows high while the horse half carries him from one adventure to another. Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign, full of energy and curiosity and a need to roam free. While the Sun is in Sagittarius, we tend to focus on lofty principles and on enthusiastism leading the way. We want to share our profound wisdom with those around us -- as long as they don't try to tie us down. "Don't fence me in" comes directly from the heart of Sagittarius.
This month’s Full month on November 25th will be in the mentally-active sign of Gemini. The attentiveness of this lunar peak is expressed through mutable energy; air (Gemini) and mutable fire (Sagittarius). The Sun and Moon are in complete opposition intensifying the theme of curiosity during this lunation. This is a moment for firing synapses that open us to new ways of seeing. Life is always changing, depending on the angle of perception. We see things in a different light at this time, as more information is revealed and more becomes known.
This Full Moon highlights and activates the Saturn square Neptune that occurs exactly on November 26th, the strongest planetary aspect occurring in late 2015 and for most of 2016. The Saturn-Neptune dissonance creates a setting that will emphasize confusion, frauds, utopist politics, harmful idealism, destructive mysticism and restructuring of beliefs. On a personal level, the square between Saturn and Neptune could bring a tendency toward uncertainty, disorganization, lack of coordination or concentration, and could bring up issues related to assuming responsibility or lacking responsibility.
Another very important aspect during this transit will be physical and mental well being. Taking good care of your mind, body and spirit are highly recommended during this alignment. One of the ways to cope with this transit is to make your everyday life as simple as possible, as you may find yourself easily overwhelmed from time to time. We’re in for a complex few months ahead, full of significant events and turning points so prepare yourselves friends.
