November 2021

Last month, Saturn, Pluto, Jupiter, and Mercury ended retrograde cycles. November/December delivers two eclipses, and the last of three meetings between Saturn and Uranus (by square aspect). Omitting Venus retrograde which will finish the year (starting on December 19), the next two months are prime for taking full advantage of time and opportunity. The more you invest, the better your prospects. It is important to do right by yourself too, this in terms of investing what is reasonable, practical, strengthening, refortifying, healthy, and smart.

November 2, 10, 13, and 17 can get the action going in some tackle it, confront it, eliminating, breakthrough, or unexpected way. To the plus, a block or hurdle is removed. Face the tough stuff and get it out of the way. November 10 can place you at a threshold crossing (ending, beginning, finalization) of significance. This date sets a reality into play, perhaps in some official way.

The few days before the lunar eclipse in Taurus on November 19 can kick it into gear in some fast track or exceptional way. Mars in opposition to Uranus (November 17) is followed by Venus in trine to Uranus November 18. Watch for a sudden inspiration, a change of heart, an opportunity to advance your career, make more money, to make an important turnaround (financial, health, wealth), and/or to get something important under better control. (Bank rates could be on the move.) This eclipse precedes the USA Thanksgiving, traditionally a time when record numbers of travelers are on the move. Holiday shoppers and sales are traditionally in high gear too.

The sun enters Sagittarius on November 21. Mercury does the same on November 24. The duo will meet on November 28. It’s time to focus on the future, not the past!

The first week of the month can be full to the brim. Mercury turns a corner with Pluto on November 2. This transit puts you in the know, and/or helps you to surpass a block, hold up, or requirement. The few days that follow keep it/you on the move along. November 4 can trigger something unexpected. Two planets change signs on November 5: Mercury enters Scorpio (to November 24) and Venus enters Capricorn. Mercury in Scorpio keeps the intensity dialed up, especially regarding relationships, finances, and communication tracks. Time is on your side, but make sure to use it well. On an extended tour of Capricorn to March 5, Venus works to solidify the reality – namely, your future course. Venus is both on a finishing and seeding track. It is ideal for formal education, career building, relationship commitment, citizenship, and all other official undertakings.

November 10 holds several stressful, pressure then release, aspects. It can be a day of difficult news or conversations. On the other hand, it can be a productive day of getting things out of the way and tackling what is necessary.

November 17 can see you or it hit full throttle or full steam ahead. An unexpected trigger can start your day. November 18, can set up an opportunity day, start to finish. November 19 delivers a partial lunar eclipse across the Taurus/Scorpio axis. You will feel the full impact of this eclipse if you are born on or near May 3, 4, or 13. Watch for something or someone to crack it open for you. This eclipse can be lucrative and fertile. It’s excellent for creative endeavour and for renovation projects of all kinds (health, wealth, heart). Directly or indirectly, someone could be instrumental in altering your reality.

The sun enters Sagittarius on November 21. Mercury follows suit on November 24. Both join forces on November 28. This begins a two-month cycle that will take us through holidays and that also encompasses Venus retrograde (December 19 to January 28). Expect to work your way through an important elimination, processing, refining, and restructuring cycle that will set up the next leg of your journey.

As of November 5, Venus begins an extended four-month tour of Capricorn. This is due to the upcoming retrograde cycle, (December 19 to January 29). Venus puts a more serious spin on goals, ambitions, and priorities, both financial and regarding important relationships (personal and professional.) Yes, it is time to get serious about your financial bottom line, to work harder to streamline expenses and pay down debt. Aim to ditch the time and money wasters. Consider downsizing. On the other hand, it can be an appropriate transit for a talk with the bank about a business loan, mortgage, or refinancing. If you aren’t sure what is best, Venus will give you extended time to feel your way along. Once Venus retrograde has come and gone (December 19 to January 29) you should feel you have a better grip on the reality, on what is most worthy of your time, heart, or money.

November 10 can be an over the hump, force it, or push harder day. Exertion, stress, and frustration are in the mix. Hard earned, well deserved. The day is well used to work it out.

Watch for the action to intensify and accelerate in the days leading up to the lunar eclipse in Taurus on November 19. Mars opposes Uranus on November 17. Venus trines Uranus on November 18. Something unexpected could get it off the ground in some opportune way. Catch the wave! Eclipses tend to always catch us by surprise. This one could reveal a well guarded secret or expose something you might have had a feeling or a sense about but couldn’t quite put your finger on. It can work behind the scenes or in a less obvious way, or produce a saving grace. On the other hand, it can raise suspicions or trust, or disrupt your work or your day. Put safety and security to the forefront. Guard your passwords, don’t divulge more than is wise, don’t ignore warning signals regarding your car, tools, prescriptions, etc. guard your passwords, etc. To the plus, a renovation, change of plans, or change of job could set you on a more lucrative or secure track. Research, soul searching, a counselling session, or a meeting with a specialist or advisor could be to your great benefit.

Putting the holidays into full swing, the sun enters Sagittarius on November 21, Mercury does the same on November 24. The duo will meet on November 28. Despite the added volume, travel, visits, shopping, and obligations, overall, activities should run smooth.

Venus tenants Capricorn from November 5 to March 5. The extra long stay (usually Venus changes signs about every 20 days) is due to an upcoming retrograde cycle, December 19 to January 29. Venus puts added attention on your career and professional ambitions, your social sphere, parenting or parents and relationships in general. Venus retrograde takes you through an important reassessment. The transit will give you extended time to finish off with the past, and to work out your goals and priorities.
November 10 calls for you to push through or push harder, to face a reality, to make it official, to hold yourself or another accountable. It can be a tough battle or a day of accomplishment. An important corner can be turned. It may not come easy, but it is worth the effort.

What a difference a day or two can make. November 17, Mars opposes Uranus. November 18, Venus trines Uranus and Mercury trines Neptune. Whether you experience these transits as jarring or opportunity, they kick the action up a big notch, likely in some sudden and unexpected way. They are precursors to the November 19 lunar eclipse in Taurus. Watch for someone or something from your past to reappear. The eclipse provides an opportunity to break out of inertia, to put to an end or to make a significant turnaround with something that has gone on for too long.

The sun’s entrance into Sagittarius on November 21, Mercury’s trek into Sagittarius on November 24 and their meeting on November 28 (conjunction) sets the backdrop for the USA Thanksgiving travel and celebrations. They also set Christmas shopping and activities into high gear. My how time flies!

Planet Mercury moves past a pressure point with Pluto at the month’s start. It can bring a shift of perspective and/or momentum and get you going on a next project or track.

Mercury treks into Scorpio on November 5 and will stay in this sign to November 24. Mars in Scorpio continues to December 13. These transits are appropriate for strategic planning and for renovation projects of all kinds (personal renovations included).

November 18, Venus trine Uranus and Mercury trine Neptune suggests opportunity and synchronicity is in full swing. It’s a good day for creative projects or creative enterprise.

You could feel the effects of the lunar eclipse in a more direct way if you are born August 15 to 21 or if the full moon aspects your personal birth chart, otherwise you can witness it indirectly or in more general ways. With just one week to go before the USA Thanksgiving, the eclipse could feel like an unofficial launch to the holidays. To the plus, you may be able to complete a work or renovation project, or to get health, plans, or home-base matters under better control. There’s an opportunity to make a turnaround with someone in charge. This eclipse can be fruitful for the job hunt, tests, re-working the budget, revamping the plan, etc. The sun enters Sagittarius on November 21, Mercury follows suit on November 24. Watch for more travelers, more shopping, more of everything to hit a fuller swing.

Venus enters Capricorn on November 5. Typically, Venus spends about 21 days in transit through a sign, but due to her retrograde cycle (December 19 to January 29), Venus will tenant Capricorn through March 5! This Venus transit gives you extended time to feel your way along, to put better boundaries in place, to get it under better control, to achieve a much-desired goal (career, personal, or relationship), to build something of substantial value and worth. Even if it gives you more work, even if significant effort or time is required, know that Venus is on your side. You are the architect of your life. Aim high, aim higher!

Also, you’ll have a good eye for spotting a good bargain or for what is most worthwhile. Mercury, Mars, and the sun can take you through a deeper exploration of your own motivations, sensitivities, and emotions. Time out for self reflection and soul searching is time well spent. There’s always a different way to see it/play it, always another avenue to try, or always an improvement that can be made. These transits prompt you to ask for more, from yourself and for yourself.
