SCORPIO (OCT 22-NOV 21) Wow, what an interesting month! (Dontcha love it, when an astrologer says “interesting”?). Seriously, November begins and ends with a Venus-North Node- Uranus line up that is all about harmony. Yes, I know – this seems utterly contradicted by what is occurring in dominant culture. Keep in mind that Venus is retrograde for the first half of November so its transit of the North Node and Uranus at the start of the month will be a serious throwdown against the forces of hate. On a personal level, Venus retrograde and Uranus will emphasize freedom and self -expression in relationships. It is a good time to discern whether your need for individuality is being recognized. There is a juicy New moon in your sign on November 7. Use it for deep contemplation about relationships. Jupiter leaves Scorpio and enters Sagittarius on the 8^th. Jupiter rules Sag so it is in its sign of full expression, putting the focus on fulfillment and the meaning of life. Then the middle of the month is wacky. Venus turns direct on the 16^th, the same day that Mercury in Sag turns retrograde, and to make matters weirder, Mercury squares Neptune. Your intuition will be strong but remember that nothing is what it seems and it will be very hard to put your finger on the truth for a few days. At the same time Mars enters Pisces and squares Jupiter, which is wonderful for taking inspired action. So let yourself be guided by an inner sense of what you need to do, and Mars and Jupiter will make it happen. The Sun enters Sag on the 22^nd and the 23^rd brings a full moon in Gemini. Mars and Jupiter dominate this full moon, so expect lots of energetic and dynamic interchange and planning over the Thanksgiving holiday.   You will be very active and busy through the end of November, and the Venus Uranus effect will highlight creativity and intimacy. Just remember that Mercury is retrograde, so go with the flow and don’t stress about plans changing.

 SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22- DEC 21) Well, this month is something of a jackpot for Sagittarians! November starts and finishes with a Venus –Uranus- North Node lineup, which brings a strong sense of harmony and connection. With Venus retrograde for the first half of the month, values of interconnection will buck the status quo in a serious way. Then right after the juicy Scorpio new moon on the 7^th, Jupiter enters Sagittarius, the sign it rules. Yay! Jupiter will be in its happy place, emphasizing those Sagittarian qualities of wisdom, fulfillment, and the joy that arises from perceiving the meaning of the universe (not to be grandiose or anything!).   Venus retrograde turns direct on the 16^th, the same day that Mercury in Sag turns retrograde. Oooh—personally I find Mercury retrograde in my own sign a bit irritating on the level of technology and communication and travel, so be sure to go with the flow. Mars in Pisces squares Jupiter starting on the 15^th and they travel in tandem for the rest of the month, making you want to move forward in a particularly energetic and inspired way. You will need to let Mercury retrograde inform your forward motion from an intuitive place so you don’t get tripped up by your own enthusiasm. The Sun enters Sag on the 22^nd and the 23^rd brings a beautiful Gemini full moon that lines up with Mars and Jupiter. It all sounds to me like a lot of Sagittarian fun! The Thanksgiving holiday will be convivial and you will feel so inspired and fulfilled by your life you will hardly be able to contain yourself.   Expect your natural leadership to shine and your infectious joy to move others. And – at the same time Venus direct moves back into position with Uranus and the North Node, so your sense of relatedness and community is also very strong. Nice!

CAPRICORN (Dec 21-Jan19) This is quite a month! It starts and ends with a pretty Venus-North-Node-Uranus line up that puts the focus on harmony, values, and relationships. Can’t complain about that! Remember that Venus continues to be retrograde for the first half of the month, giving you time and space to discern what is really important to you. The juicy Scorpio new moon on the 7^th is followed by Jupiter entering Sagittarius on the 8^th. Yeah baby! Jupiter in Sag amplifies a sense of meaning and fulfillment. Venus turns direct on the 16^th, the same day Mercury in Sag turns retrograde. The Mercury retrograde starts off with a big dose of spaciness since it squares Neptune. Things are not what they seem! Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius is especially likely to mess up any travel plans you have, especially around the full moon in Gemini on the 23^rd. But I get ahead of myself. The second half of the month has a beautiful Mars-Jupiter square that dominates the full moon, so it is full steam ahead for you in terms of plans and goals. Just make sure your plans are informed by the intuitive inspiration of Mercury retrograde and everything should roll forward. This is a powerful combination – Sun, Moon, Mars Jupiter—and it is big big big energy of movement and action. Enjoy it! Venus gets into position again with Uranus at the end of the month for a week of creative exploration and new expression in relationships.

Yes, I know – this seems to flout what is occurring in dominant culture, but that is actually the point of Venus retrograde. Venus is still retrograde for the first half of November so its transit of the North Node and Uranus at the start of the month will be a serious throwdown against the forces of hate.
