November 2020

Mars in Aries ends retrograde on Nov 13 but will continue in your sign until Jan 6. This last portion of the transit sets you onto the full steam ahead track. That could mean a resolution of something that’s plagued you for some time, or the building of a fresh fire. Don’t hesitate to severe ties, cut yourself loose, and/or aim in a new direction. Even so, know that Mars is not quite in the clear. There’s still more working through it yet to be done until Mars surpasses Pluto’s checkpoint (Dec 22).

Jupiter and Pluto, a seismic shift pairing, met for the first time at the start of April. As of Nov 12, Jupiter and Pluto in Capricorn reconvene for their final meet-up. Together they have been breaking down the outworn belief, rationale, or reality that no longer serves. At the same time, they have begun the search for a better camping ground. Nov 12 marks the end of a twelve-year learning curve, and the start of the next twelve-year study. As of December 21, Jupiter and Saturn join forces in Aquarius. In so doing they end the last 20-year manifesting cycle (social, economic) and cut the official ribbon on the next chapter of a radically reinvented reality.

Ceres advances into Pisces on Nov 9. Having recently ended retrograde (mid Oct), Ceres will continue through its post shadow phase to the start of the new year. Similar to Pluto’s mode of operating, Ceres is a regenerative archetype. As the goddess of the seasons, Ceres is now at work to clear away the remnants of the year just past. Look to late February for your “new spring”.

Also on Nov 9, Venus moves to a next phase with Mars. It is the second half of a two-year correction, healing and improvement cycle regarding relationships and survival matters. Nov 15 to 22, Venus and Mercury are moving their respective agendas forward. Taking a deeper dive into the uncovering process, Venus enters Scorpio on Nov 21.

Nov 26 (Thanksgiving Day in the USA) to the end of the month sets the action onto a ramp-up curve. Keeping the action well triggered, both the transiting moon and Venus oppose Uranus on Nov 27. Neptune ends retrograde on Nov 28.

The month ends on a lunar eclipse in Gemini. This eclipse (Cyber Monday, Nov 30) can bring important news or trigger something unexpected. Surprise is always a signature of an eclipse. Watch for a surfacing that which was already in the works but that has stayed under the radar. This eclipse can springboard or fast track the action. Also, the Gemini eclipse can put the spotlight on a friend, neighbour, sibling or a member of your extended family. You can feel the strong pull of fate or karmic destiny driving the bus. (As stated in the intro, this eclipse has influenced the recent elections, all of them.)

Nov 9, Venus opposes Mars. This marks the midpoint of a two-year cycle of self examination. Whether you have signed up for courses or have simply found yourself in attendance in the school of life, Venus/Mars have set the past year and the one coming for further personal growth and skills upgrades. Also on Nov 9, Ceres advance into Pisces. This transit stirs up hidden wealth – in other words – potential. It is up to you to harness it.

Mercury enters Scorpio on Nov 10 and surpasses the post shadow period of its recent retrograde just as Venus enters Scorpio on Nov 21. Both planets bring relationships and your evaluation process into sharper focus. Nov 15 to 23, both planets aim to move you further ahead.

The lunar eclipse in Gemini on Nov 30 could be a potent/opportune catalyst for you if you are born May 16 to 18 or if the eclipse aligns with your chart in some dynamic way. Otherwise you may simply feel it as a more on the go few days.

Jupiter conjoins Pluto on Oct 12, the last of three meetups this year. Jupiter/Pluto have gone hard at it to create a necessary and long overdue seismic shift regarding beliefs and perspectives (cultural, philosophical and moral) From now to the end of the year, Jupiter translates Pluto’s “time has come” message to Saturn.

Mars ends retrograde on Nov 13 but continues in Aries to Jan 6. This last third of the Mars in Aries transit can light a good fire, especially regarding personal reinvention, lifestyle changes, goal setting, and breaking new ground regarding relationships and income streams.

Venus is on the move from Oct 15 to 22. She’ll form several dynamic aspects before leaving Libra for Scorpio on Nov 22. Expect this week to be full to the brim.

Nov 26 is Thanksgiving Day in the USA. Noting Venus in opposition to Uranus (Nov 27), it is likely to be a non-traditional event for many. Venus/Uranus and the end of Neptune retrograde on Nov 28 makes for a profitable finish to the month for retailers and for businesses that cater to the holidays.

By the winter solstice, Jupiter and Saturn will also synchronize their watch. The signposts and sticky notes have been in active circulation for quite some time now. Reality wants you to get on board with a complete overhaul. Good on you for saying yes to the challenge and signing up for the ride (whether you consciously realize you have or not!)

Mid-month onward, the stars on the move. One way or another, you will be too. Nov 15 to 21, the stars are on a push/past or force the envelope agenda. Nov 21 to 23 can keep it rolling along a mostly fluid track. The stars are well set for regroup and shift track from Nov 26 (USA Thanksgiving) through the lunar eclipse in Gemini on Nov 30. The lunar eclipse suggests something is on brew that has not yet made its presence known. It could be a second chance, a second wave, a next trend, a budding new prospect or a whole new life. Despite the ongoing pandemic restrictions, the holidays and all they bring set the dial to full swing.

Jupiter and Pluto, a formidable seismic shift combination, meet on Nov 12 for the last of three meetings. Arching over most of this year, Jupiter and Pluto have been enlarging the scope, making the reality/necessity too obvious to ignore. This date also marks the start of a next growth phase regarding beliefs, cultural norms, and meeting the future head on. Jupiter aligns with Saturn on the winter solstice (Dec 21) to further cement the new chapter.

As of the winter solstice, Jupiter and Saturn will join forces and in so doing, cement the new reality further.

Nov 15 to 21 holds a mix of strain and productivity. By the end of the week, you should feel like you have made a measure of good progress and/or have surpassed the hard part. Nov 21 to 24 can be mostly a smooth go. Are you celebrating Thanksgiving on Nov 26? My best wishes to you.

Jupiter/Pluto meet on Nov 12 for the final of three meetings this year. This is a seismic shift, enlarge the scope transit.

There’s another month to go until Jupiter and Saturn complete their part. Dec 21 (the winter solstice) officially launches their new mandate (and the next two hundred world cycle).

Mars in Aries ends retrograde on Nov 13 and continues in Aries to Jan 6. While Mars is still under pressure, from this point forward you should be able to cut to the chase with better precision.

To the middle of Dec, Venus in Scorpio keeps your attention locked onto “what’s it worth?” (emotional, financial). Look to the lunar eclipse in Gemini on Nov 30 to give you more information to go on. One way or another, the eclipse will put you in the know and on the go. Venus opposes Uranus on Black Friday (Nov 27). There may be travel restrictions and shops on lock down for Thanksgiving and the upcoming holidays, but by god, there will be on-line shopping!

Whether a peak or a turning point peak, the eclipse brings a second wave of Covid-19 action to the full light of day. Please continue to keep health and safety to the forefront.

Mercury/Saturn suggests results or news can be hard on some folks. For others, it is a relief to see a long overdue or long-awaited finish-line. On the personal note, a hold up, biding time period comes to an end. You may feel forced to face a hard consequence and to take a difficult step or stand. On the other hand, the transit could see you finally reach the end of something that has been long in the works. No matter what it is for you, Mercury/Saturn dials up the importance of this lay it on the line matter.

Mercury had made it half-way through your sign before it started the retrograde cycle. It will revisit Scorpio as of Nov 10 (to Dec 1).

Jupiter meets with Pluto for the last time this year on Nov 12. This seismic shift duo has been going hard at it all year to teardown the outworn and obsolete walls regarding the ways and means of how we “do business”, in other words how we conduct ourselves, run our lives and contribute to (or undermine) the health of the planet. The exposing of and responses to systemic racism is but one example of this transit. Jupiter/Pluto have been working to change beliefs, cultural norms, motivational mandates. They have allocated all their resources toward reformulating the baseline of future. To be sure, this bigger picture agenda is no small feat! Evolution is not an overnight affair but suffice to say it is happening out there in the world and in your personal life journey too.
