SCORPIO (OCT 22-NOV 21) November is rather a great month for you…! And how I often do I get to say that?!  You continue to benefit from the strong Virgo action that we’ve had for the past month. November starts out with a juicy Mars-Venus conjunction which lasts til about the 10^th. That’s all about shared purpose and enjoying what you’re doing. It gets even better between the 7^th and 9^th, when the North Lunar Node and the Scorpio Sun get involved in the action. Nice! This combination is very fruitful and enjoyable in the intimacy department, and if your birthday is around then you will have these delightful aspects influencing you for the year. There is a new moon in your own sign on the 11^th which captures the end of the Mars-Venus conjunction, so this is a good new moon for making plans. Starting on the 15^th Mercury in Scorpio catches up the Sun and the two move hand in hand for a good 10 days. You will be perspicacious indeed – no showing off now!   Also mid month Saturn in Sagittarius catches up to a square with Neptune which lasts for the rest of the month and into December. This is a complex aspect and can lead to your feeling bogged down, so it is imperative for you to be disciplined and set up routines for yourself that are workable and satisfying, either around exercise, creative, and/or spiritual practice.   The Sun leaves Scorpio and enters Sag on the 22^nd and we have a few days of Sun-Venus-Pluto action. This is an intense lineup that has to do with commitment to values and relationships. You might be looking for deep meaning on the US Thanksgiving holiday and instead get a lot of silliness. Expect some family and relationship issues to come to a head on the Gemini full moon on the 25^th.   Keep track of your needs and feelings and be sure to express them that last week of November – the Sun in Sag catches up to Saturn and squares big mushy vague Neptune.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22- DEC 21) This is actually a great month as long as you can harness some discipline to deal with the upcoming Saturn Neptune square…but I get ahead of myself! November begins with a solid week and a half of Venus and Mars conjunct in Virgo. These Virgo transits we’ve had over the past month have made you shockingly practical and organized and Venus and Mars will continue that theme. You’ll have a good time doing what you’re doing, feeling a shared sense of purpose and enjoyment. From the 7^th to the 9^th the aspects become even prettier and involve intimacy and relationships. So a good time will be had by all! Starting on the 15^th Mercury in Scorpio catches up the Sun and those two planets stay together for a good 10 days, including when they enter your sign of Sagittarius. Mercury enters Sag on the 20^th and the Sun on the 22^nd. This will exaggerate your already ridiculous braininess, so be careful not to slide into Sagittarian pomposity. Your brain will be firing on more cylinders than you knew existed and this influence will last all year if your birthday falls in the first few days of Sag. The start of Sag also pulls in Venus-Pluto aspects, making you very aware of the importance of relationships. The big full moon in Gemini on the 25^th emphasizes that further, and your Thanksgiving will be a rollicking good time.   And look, with all these great aspects I almost forgot about Saturn and Neptune! Saturn in Sag squares Neptune for the second half of the month and this aspect must be worked very consciously lest it bog you down. It’s time for discipline: Tai Chi, yoga, and other practices that engage mind, body and spirit. This is especially so if your birthday is at the tail end of November (28-30) because you will have this influence strongly all year. More on this next month!

CAPRICORN (Dec 21-Jan19) Okay! November kicks off with a beautiful Venus-Mars conjunction in Virgo for a good week and a half.

Again – be watchful of not getting too nerved out by things out of your control. The Sun enters Sag on the 22^nd we have a few days of intense Venus-Pluto aspects, making you want to delve deeply into commitment.   The Gemini full moon will shine a big light on relationships. The second half of November also brings us the more sobering influence of Saturn and Neptune.   This square absolutely requires discipline so you don’t feel bogged down, especially at the end of the month when the Sun in Sag catches up to Saturn.

All of this occurs against the backdrop of the Saturn Neptune square which is in effect for the second half of November and into December.

The Saturn-Neptune square which is in effect the second half of the month and into December has you brimming with aches and needs and wants, many of which have nothing to do with current reality.   The only way to deal with this is to create a routine for yourself of music, dance, exercise, meditation.
