Overview

Ceres (nurturing, loss) enters Scorpio on November 11th. This brings us face to face with the intensity of this cycle, and the fact that we have limited control over certain things. There is profound loss but it always leads to rebirth and growth. Ceres in Scorpio can bring a “death” but also new life (Scorpio’s power lies in complete endings that pave the way for new beginnings). 

Mars (actions, anger, initiative) enters Pisces on November 15th. This is not a comfortable position for Mars, because Pisces’ fluid energy means actions cannot be forced – the intuitive path is followed, and there is usually an area of flow that you hook into. The way forward will not be direct, and this can be frustrating. But Mars trines Ceres until November 25th, and this does suggest that actions will stimulate growth – you can actively nurture something, as long as you accept that there may be a release/loss as well. Mars/Ceres can be healing and comforting for those who give up some control. 

Venus in Libra stations direct on November 16th. Venus stationed Rx on October 5th (in Scorpio) triggering a period of re-evaluation, past romantic connections and questions about values. This period is now at an end, and the first sign of progress may be a correction to an imbalance (Libra). However, Mercury in Sagittarius stations Rx on the same day, just before it makes an exact square to Neptune Rx in Pisces. There’s a confusing issue, lie or illusion in front of you, but it’s not time to confront it just yet. Mercury Rx will bring questions, more reviews and doubts/delays. Mercury stations direct on December 6th and perfects the square with Neptune on December 24th. Until this time, step back and consider any questions that come up. A lie/illusion may be dissolved on December 24th, but you’ve got some work to do in the meantime – sort through the various versions of the story and consider where you’re placing your faith. 

Aries

Ceres into your sector of shared resources can activate issues of loss and/or nurturing in the areas of shared finances or intimacy. You may become aware that you only have so much control over certain resources and people. Mars into your hidden sector can activate secrets or unacknowledged issues (like anger or hidden desires). Or, this can be a time when you decide to pull back and rest/heal. The Mars/Ceres trine (until November 25th) can open up your awareness of unconditional nurturing, even in the face of loss. Watch for profound moments of acceptance, release or enhanced compassion. 

Venus direct in your partnership sector signals progress for relationship issues that have been on hold or in review since October 5th. An imbalance may be corrected, or you/your partner may decide that it’s time to move on (or get closer). 

Mercury Rx in your opportunities sector, square Neptune Rx, suggests that a glimpse of something greater (in the areas of travel, education, legal matters, publishing or ideals) can also be confusing or deceptive. A grand promise, fantasy or lie is hovering in the distance, but it’s time to pause and ask the necessary questions (perhaps about your own knowledge or faith). You’ll  confront the deception or uncover the missing info around December 24th. 

Taurus

Ceres into your partnership sector can trigger parental issues in a relationship (specifically mothering issues) or enhance moments of nurturing/support between you and your partner. Mars into your social sector can activate idealistic actions with friends/groups/the public, and the Mars/Ceres trine (until November 25th) supports all relationships (one-on-one and group).

Venus direct in your sector of routine can correct an imbalance regarding care for someone else, your self-care, a work relationship or your approach to health/daily routines.

Mercury Rx in your sector of shared resources, square Neptune Rx, can stir up confusing details regarding shared finances or intimacy. More questions may be uncovered, or certain financial/personal details may be obscured. Before you sign any financial documents or commit to a deeper union, pause and consider what’s being revealed (you’ll uncover a truth on December 24th). This can also apply to psychological issues  – you may need to sort out what you really think on a deeper level. 

Gemini

Ceres into your sector of routine can activate health/food issues, or a scenario involving caring intensively for someone else. Mars into your career sector suggests a new surge of enthusiasm and/or idealism for work (perhaps a new job).

Work may involve nurturing or unconditional service.

Venus direct in your sector of self-expression suggests it’s all systems go regarding an opportunity to get what you want. New romance, creative work or a chance to show off your talents can move on from delays/reviews that have been slowing you down since October 5th.

Meanwhile, Mercury Rx in your partnership sector can see you revisiting a previous relationship conversation, or going back over promises that were made. It’s time to look more closely at what a partner is saying, or what you expect to hear. The approaching square to Neptune Rx suggests you’ll touch on confusing or deceptive goals/ideals – you may discover a mismatch between what they say and what you want to hear.

December 24th will present a confrontation between truth and deception (or self-deception).

At the same time, remember that you’re more vulnerable to external influences – use caution and if it feels too risky, step back. The Mars/Ceres trine (until November 25th) can activate a new potential with tons of future growth. Your efforts to move outside your comfort zone will contribute to the growth of something precious.
