Overview

November 21st is the start of Sagittarius season. The Sun’s ingress into the sign of exploration is a time when faith, trust and truth/lies are emphasized. The big picture comes into focus, and Mercury in Sagittarius square Chiron Rx in Pisces (November 24th) can focus on a painful truth or disappointment. Big words/promises can expose a wound. However, Mercury’s trine to Uranus Rx in Aries (November 25th) encourages you to keep the conversation going, and to keep looking for new information. There may be a way around what hurts, and hope for the future depends on your ability to envision that future. 

Venus in Scorpio’s trine to Chiron (November 26th) adds more encouragement with profound expressions of love, empathy and courageous compassion. This is about finding the beauty in what hurts, and loving someone (or yourself) despite the ugly wound or painful secret. 

Neptune direct on November 22nd is a very subtle change, and you may not feel it. However, that doesn’t mean nothing’s happening. Neptune Rx was an intensified dissolution of old limits, structures or ideas. Neptune direct is the move forward, after that dissolution. You could notice a gradual sense of release, as something gently fades away. Now, look forward – what’s opening up?

Aries

The Sun into your sector of opportunities turns your eyes to new horizons. Long-distance travel, education, legal matters or publishing are areas where you may feel compelled to explore. Neptune direct in your hidden sector can bring a subtle background shift, loosening unconscious limits and allowing you to take advantage of these new opportunities. 

Aspects to Mercury in your opportunities sector (including the trine to Uranus Rx in your sign) can encourage you to speak out or learn something new, even as unacknowledged fears and insecurities are triggered. Don’t allow secrets or hidden wounds to undermine your progress, but do watch for unexpected sensitivities that may be triggered – a public declaration can reveal a hurtful secret. Venus/Chiron can offer some respite, if you’re ready to open up to someone you trust, or allow yourself t0 (privately) share and forgive. Venus/Chiron can bring soothing moments of intimacy and psychological healing. 

Taurus

The Sun into your sector of shared resources turns the spotlight on debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy. Aspects to Mercury in your sector of shared resources can get the conversation moving, with new ideas or a fresh approach to existing issues. However, you may encounter moments of discomfort as sensitive topics are broached. You or the other person may not want to reveal everything. 

Venus/Chiron can smooth over any hurt feelings or awkward moments from the above, with empathetic, one-on-one connections. Interactions with a partner or close friend can increase feelings of compassion and understanding, as long as you’re ready to cooperate on a deeper level (let go of stubborn controlling tendencies). 

Neptune direct in your social sector suggests a gradual shift in a friendship, group association or your public image. Watch for old ideals, rules or structures to slowly dissolve as your public relationships move forward. 

Gemini

The Sun into your partnership sector puts the focus on the other in your life. Whether you’re single, involved or there’s someone whom you’d like to become involved with, the Sun in your opposite sign illuminates what truths/lies you project onto others, and the narrative of your relationships. Aspects to Mercury in your partnership sector will add to this with awkward but illumining one-on-one discussions. There is more to talk about, so don’t allow uncomfortable topics (involving career, professional image or discussions with those in authority) to shut you down. Keep the lines of communication open, but if you’re dealing with work matters, be aware of the risks around indiscreet words. 

Venus /Chiron offers assistance in guise of sympathetic co-workers or daily work/solutions that are well-received by those in authority. Too, the assistance you offer others, or your own efforts at treating yourself more gently, can be healing and encouraging. 

Neptune direct in your career sector can see you dealing with the results of disillusionment or confusion regarding a career goal. Your future is not set in stone, so allow yourself to ask questions or consider other professional opportunities. 

Cancer

The Sun into your sector of routine spotlights daily tasks, health and service to others. A specific problem may be emphasized, and aspects to Mercury in this sector can trigger a conversation or observation that makes you feel vulnerable or unprepared. However, keep your eyes open for new information or approaches to an existing problem – your fresh take on the situation, and your willingness to incorporate something new into your routines, can help.

Venus/Chiron offers more assistance with assurance that your creative or romantic efforts can have a positive impact. Putting yourself out there, in any context, can actually ease your worries and should resonate with others.

Neptune direct in your opportunities sector suggests progress with travel, education, legal matters, an ideal or publishing. What you’ve been confused about can now flow forward, opening up new possibilities. 

Leo

The Sun into your sector of self-expression energizes your desire to go public, be creative  or launch something big. The desire to celebrate can increase as well. Aspects to Mercury in this sector will encourage you to speak out, but you’ll also encounter some buried sensitivities involving shared finances or intimacy. It will be easy to say too much, and say it insensitively, in the heat of the moment. 

Venus/Chiron encourages exploration of these sensitive issues, but in a more private manner. Relationships with family or a domestic partner can be soothing as you experience understanding and support. It might be better to keep some issues confined to those closest to you. 

Neptune direct in your sector of shared resources suggests gradual progress regarding debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy. Areas of confusion or financial “leakage” won’t be resolved overnight, but you are moving towards a deeper understanding, based on the release of  undermining habits and associations.  

Virgo

The Sun into your domestic sector turns the spotlight on home, family and the past. Aspects to Mercury in this sector suggest that painful conversations with a partner may be part of the package, as you delve into past issues and current wounds. As uncomfortable as this makes you, the key is to keep talking- the deeper you go, the more you’ll uncover unconventional solutions and information (especially involving domestic finances and intimacy). 

Venus/Chiron continues the theme of communication with loving, empathetic conversations. Don’t hesitate to reach out and remain open to what the other person is going through. Consider that you may share this area of pain with them. 

Neptune direct in your partnership sector continues the slow process of releasing old relationship insecurities (or releasing an old relationship) while making room for more hope and belief in your love life. Neptune direct can bring a subtle move forward in a relationship area where you’ve felt bogged down or lost (especially if you’ve been projecting your dreams onto a fantasy partner). 

Libra

The Sun into your communication sector energizes conversations, brief meetings, writing, emails and phone calls. Aspects to Mercury in this sector point to a particularly awkward conversation or piece of information regarding work routines or health. Discussions may be hurtful, as they expose an area that still needs improvement. Keep the exchange of information going, especially in a one-on-one context. Someone may be able to provide inspiration and fresh ideas. 

Venus/Chiron suggests that despite the above discomforts, you can still find support if you confront areas where there are flaws or weaknesses. You may find that your security and self-esteem actually receive a boost with the resulting healing. 

Neptune direct in your sector of routine eases you forward regarding health/diet/exercise/self-care. An ongoing issue will see progress as you release old habits. Work routines can gradually shift, and while the outcome may not be clear yet, you’re learning how to realign your priorities.  

Scorpio

The Sun into your sector of personal resources turns your focus to what you want and how you go about getting it. Earned money, self-esteem and values are hi-lighted. Aspects to Mercury in this sector can trigger some insecurities about finances or emotional entanglements, as you’re made aware of what you’re missing or can’t have. However, the path forward involves a clear-eyed focus on what you need to do (practical application of solutions) plus an awareness of necessary changes to work or heath habits. 

Venus in your sign, trine Chiron in your sector of self-expression, can sooth hurt feelings and insecurities. Watch for an opportunity to embrace your weaknesses and experience empathy in return. You may even attract others with a combination of vulnerability and honesty, as you make your insecurities work for you.

Neptune direct in you sector of self-expression suggests another layer of release and the expansion of new potentials, regarding romance, creative work or children/pregnancy. As old fears and illusions fall away, know that you’re making room for something more. A creative project can slowly but surely move forward. 

Sagittarius

The Sun into your sign is that time of year when you take stock of where you’ve been and where you’re going. Saturn’s transit through your sign has put you through the paces with extra responsibilities and enforced focus, but Saturn’s exit in December suggests this Solar Return year should offer a bit more freedom. Aspects to Mercury in your sign can trigger wounds from the past (family history) or existing difficulties at home. A domestic conversation could stir up some sore spots, but you’ll also have creative inspiration and confidence, enabling you to keep generating new, hopeful ideas. 

Venus/Chiron suggests the way to deal with domestic wounds is a deeply private exploration of where you feel most vulnerable. Opening up to one person that you trust implicitly, or even dealing with this on your own (in secret) can enable emotional release. You may decide to simply let go of what you can’t fix. 

Neptune direct in your domestic sector suggests gradual progress with a family issue, home business, relocation or property development. Your foundation may still feel uncertain, but you should find it easier to say goodbye to a situation that’s been weakening or distracting you. 

Capricorn

The Sun into your hidden sector can turn your attention to background or secret issues. While your social sector is humming with Jupiter and Venus, you may become more aware of certain undercurrents. Aspects to Mercury in your hidden sector suggest painful or sensitive secrets may come out, as a conversation/discovery opens your eyes. As uncomfortable as this may be, it also signals progress regarding domestic and family issues. Change is necessary, even if it reopens some wounds.  

Venus/Chiron can help with the above, via support from friends or groups. Despite what’s going on behind the scenes, your public image/reputation can flourish – others will resonate with what you’re going through. These aspects encourage you to go public with what you know. 

Neptune direct in your communication sector suggests you can make inroads on a difficult topic, as your perception and ideas gradually shift. Allow yourself to let go of what no longer makes sense, while embracing what’s slowly emerging. 

Aquarius

The Sun into your social sector hi-lights connections with friends, the public and your place in the group. Aspects to Mercury in this sector can trigger some discussions with friends, or discoveries about others, that leave you feeling vulnerable, embarrassed or exposed. However, despite any wounds, you’re encouraged to keep researching/discussing new options and developments. There may be a way forward that you hadn’t considered. 

Venus/Chiron offers a boost of security and reassurance as future or career goals fall into place. Someone in authority has your back, or they may offer financial solutions. 

Neptune direct in your sector of personal resources signals the next stage of the ongoing transformation of your security base, earned income or source of self-esteem. Certain sources of security are no longer valid, as your values are shifting. You may be letting go, simplifying and cutting back. 

Pisces

The Sun into your career sector emphasizes future goals and your approach to success. Aspects to Mercury in this sector (including the square to Chiron Rx in your sign) can trigger doubts about success, or your current career path. New information or a conversation with someone in authority can make you question if you’re heading in the right direction. However, if you can see beyond your insecurities, you’ll note that there is an emerging opportunity that involves new sources of income, or new ways to boost your self-esteem. A calculated risk may be involved. Don’t be scared off by new/unusual opportunities. 

Venus in your opportunities sector, trine Chiron Rx in your sign, urges you to step out. Travel, education, long-distance romance, legal matters or publishing are areas where you can attract something completely different that will benefit you. Rather than avoiding what makes you feel insecure, consider following that path and seeing where it leads. Neptune direct in your sign adds encouragement as old fears/limits slip away and a new road gradually emerges in front of you.

Overview

November 13th brings a rich conjunction between Venus and Jupiter in Scorpio. Jupiter will expand Venus’ wants, and Scorpio will ensure that those wants are profound. Issues with money, relationships and personal values can surge past existing limits, and for the most part, this should be quite positive. Jupiter brings hope, and Scorpio makes it intense. However, Mercury in Sagittarius squares Neptune Rx in Pisces on the same day, so facts will be muddled. Something good could dissolve all logic – a bit of caution is advised. 

November 16th brings a trine from Neptune to Venus and Chiron Rx in Pisces to the Scorpio Sun. These aspects will add forgiveness, compassion and release to the above scenarios. 

November 18th sees a Scorpio New Moon, which will be connected to the above developments. This new beginning will be favoured with a trine to Chiron Rx – the deeper you go/the more honest you are, the more you can strengthen yourself through acceptance of what hurts. The Moon will make a sharp inconjunct to Uranus Rx in Aries, so there will be some discomfort as events have a greater impact than expected.

The square between Mars in Libra and Pluto in Capricorn will be exact on November 19th, so that crisis between conscious action (Mars) and unconscious impulses (Pluto) will be part of the New Moon. Mars/Pluto has the potential for eruptions of buried anger, a raw push for domination or (sometimes) violence. This is an immensely powerful aspect, and when directed properly, you can achieve quite a bit. But it can also be extremely destructive. Be careful and remain fully aware of what your next step is going to be. 

Aries

Venus/Jupiter in your sector of shared resources can expand benefits in the areas of debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or intimacy. Watch for a gift, extra assistance or increased access to financial resources/emotional sharing. Other aspects to Venus and the Sun in your sector of shared resources can increase your desire to share, merge or give. There’s potential for deep psychological comfort, but pay attention to boundaries – it will be easy to let everything flow and keep nothing in reserve. Mercury/Neptune cautions you to look before you leap – long-distance travel, legal matters, education, exploration or publishing are areas where you may misread the signals or hope for more than is realistic. Before you cement plans for the future, make sure you have all the facts. 

All of the above will lead to new beginnings, via the New Moon in your sector of shared resources. There could be a new chapter between you and a partner, or a deeper understanding of the dynamics of what you owe, share or are reluctant to share. The inconjunct to Uranus Rx in your sign suggests these discoveries will make you feel a bit out of control. There may be more brewing beneath the surface than anticipated, and the Mars/Pluto square adds in a relationship or career challenge. Someone else (a partner or competitor) may be calling the shots and pushing you to react. Avoid knee-jerk responses and projecting anger onto others. Your full awareness and ownership of your actions will help you feel a bit more in control. 

Taurus

Venus/Jupiter in your partnership sector suggests moments of joy or passion in a new or existing partnership. You and another can deepen your commitment while enjoying the benefits of increased intensity and trust. Other aspects to the Sun and Venus in your partnership sector can enable moments of idealism, deep romance and mutual healing. Also excellent for reaching out to members of the public and impacting them on an emotional/empathetic level. However, Mercury/Neptune can stir up confusing/misguided information (or deceptions) around shared finances or intimacy. Make sure you are both on the same page, regarding who owes what and how far you both want to take this. 

The above is the lead- up to the New Moon’s new chapter in your partnership sector. An existing relationship can enter a whole new level of profound trust and acceptance. A new relationship can accelerate with intensity. The speed and honesty with which things move may make you feel uncomfortable, especially if you or the other person reveal more than you’re comfortable with. Mars/Pluto ups the stakes, as your approach to daily routines, health or work undergoes a challenge. Your efforts to improve or get things done may be unbalanced. Too, an imbalance in shared power (one person does more than the other) could be an issue. Avoid keeping score, but don’t ignore feelings of discomfort or resentment – this is the time for an honest confrontation.

Gemini

Venus/Jupiter in your sector of routine suggests increased hope and assistance in the areas of health, work tasks or daily routines. You could receive the help you want, or feel compelled to go the extra mile for someone else. Too, if you’ve been on a particularly restrictive regime, this energy might encourage you to let go and indulge. Other aspects to the Sun and Venus in your sector of routine promise a positive flow of creativity, acceptance and understanding in your daily work and career – your daily efforts will be noticed and appreciated by someone in authority. However, Mercury/Neptune suggests it will be too easy to place all your faith in someone’s else’s promises or suggestions. Therefore, be very careful with how much you’re giving or accepting – there’s potential for some disappointment.  

The New Moon in your sector of routine takes the above developments and opens a new chapter, regarding work or health. New tasks tasks may feel overwhelming, or new developments in diet/exercise may demand extra commitment. There is an opportunity to access more intensive sources of energy and commitment in your daily life, but this depends on how your routines make you feel – worthwhile or under-appreciated? Mars/Pluto suggests you’ll be dealing with the struggle to be appreciated/noticed, or to gain power over your daily life. 

Cancer

Venus/Jupiter in your sector of self-expression can hit you with a surge of joy, intense attraction, creativity or celebration. It will be tempting to dive right in and luxuriate (or show off) and there’s certainly reasons to be happy. Other aspects to the Sun and Venus in your sector of self-expression can encourage confidence and release, as you let go of fears/hesitations and open yourself up to what’s next. Especially good for travel or making your creative work public. But Mercury/Neptune hints that certain tasks or details are in danger of being overlooked. Don’t forget about the fine print, and don’t ignore your obligations. 

The New Moon in your sector of self-expression builds on the above, with an opportunity to commit yourself more deeply to something you love or enjoy. A new attraction can be all-consuming, and creative work/performance can reveal your passionate side. Mars/Pluto suggests someone significant may trigger a crisis, and this tension will push you to express yourself/put yourself on the line. This can be exciting, challenging or disruptive – it all depends on where your comfort zone is. In some cases, jealousy and competitiveness can trigger all-or-nothing behaviour. Stay aware of your reactions and make sure that someone else isn’t controlling your behaviour, even if you feel like you’re being assertive. 

Leo

Venus/Jupiter in your domestic sector can increase love and abundance at home/with family. There could be a major celebration, home purchase or addition to the family. Or, the purchase of new home.  Other aspects to Venus and the Sun in your domestic sector can increase the flow of idealism, closeness and healing within the family. However, Mercury/Neptune warns you to keep your eye on joint finances (it will be easy to overspend) and communication. Big, romantic words may be floating around, but there may not be much substance to them. Enjoy the energy, but stay aware of the details.

The New Moon in your domestic sector marks a fresh chapter, based on the above. There may be some discord between home/comfort zone versus travel or foreign affairs. The overall theme is an intensive commitment to those closest to you, or your personal security. But Mars/Pluto suggests that tense/angry discussions may be part of the process. Disagreements or troubling news involving heath or work will add some urgency to domestic developments. Use caution with all types of communication, because reactive responses can quickly become destructive. 

Virgo

Venus/Jupiter in your communication sector suggest a spot of excellent news, a conversation that sweeps you away or a beautiful promise. Other aspects to Venus and the Sun in your communication sector can encourage healing/forgiving discussions with a partner. This may be a good time to reach out. – old grudges can dissolve. However, Mercury/Neptune cautions you to look closely at everything that’s being communicated (especially with a partner). Make sure there are solid facts behind the good intentions, and everyone is on the same page. Overall, these influences do have tremendous creative potential – you can easily promote, sell or wow someone with the power of what you say or write.  

The New Moon in your communication sector suggests the above events will lead to a new understanding, plan or potential. You can dedicate yourself fully to a new idea or area of investigation.  Indeed, you may become fixated on this issue, and Mars/Pluto adds a compulsive edge. A desire for attention, a new attraction or issues with money can capture your mind and push you down an extreme path. The best use of this energy would be to learn more about something that could benefit you, or communicate your intentions in an assertive but healthy way. Be wary of trying to force someone to your side, via your arguments. Or, of clinging to what you know is “right” in a way that blinds you to other options. 

Libra

Venus/Jupiter in your sector of personal resources suggests a lucrative opportunity to earn more, or a financial boost. Security and self-esteem can also increase. But since Jupiter expands everything, this energy can also urge you to spend more on a big ticket item. The purchase may be exactly what you need, but Mercury/Neptune suggests you may not be totally clear about you’re doing. In all cases, certain details may be obscured or you may ignore the facts. Other aspects to Venus and the Sun in your sector of personal resources can encourage gentle acceptance of where you are right now. 

The New Moon in your sector of personal resources indicates a new beginning (involving earned money, self-esteem or security) based on the above events. A new job, approach to finances or expression of what you want will urge you to open up and make a deeper commitment. However, Mars in your sign square Pluto can indicate some compulsive actions or struggles for dominance. There may be something (or someone) that you become fixated on, with undertones of a fight for survival. If you don’t get what you want it will feel like your survival is at stake, although this may not actually be the case. Mars/Pluto can increase your odds for success if you direct the energy wisely – remain conscious of what you’re doing, especially if issues from the past/family are involved. 

Scorpio

Venus/Jupiter in your sign can pump up your confidence and attraction power, or put you in the right place at the right time. There may be a prime financial or relationship opportunity. Too, your public image could receive a significant boost. Other aspects to the Sun and Venus in your sign will encourage you to open yourself up to a new attraction, creative opportunity or moment of honest self-expression. These energies can make it easier to be you, as you let go of doubts, insecurities and past hurts. But Mercury/Neptune can muddy the waters with misguided information about money or self-esteem requirements. What you think you must have, or what you think is a sure thing, could involve some miscommunication or obscured facts. Proceed with caution. 

The New Moon in your sign builds on the above, opening an intriguing new door around lifestyle, relationships, career or self-image. While you’re usually honest about who you are, these influences can encourage you dig even deeper and reveal the real you. However, Mars/Pluto suggests background or unconscious actions may be driving some of this. Pay attention to heated conversations or all-or-nothing statements with undertones of hostility. Don’t allow secrets or buried impulses to undermine your powerful new start. 

Sagittarius

Venus/Jupiter in your hidden sector can expand a hidden attraction or desire. Creative potential is favoured, and dreams/fantasies/intuition can be very strong, leaking out into your daily life. Other aspects to Venus and the Sun in your hidden sector can encourage the gentle of release of old wounds and painful family history. However, Mercury in your sign square Neptune suggests a weak spot, based on confused ideals and or old hopes. Be very careful that you’re seeing the whole picture.  

The New Moon in your hidden sector suggests the above background issues won’t fade away. Rather, a whole new chapter can open up, based on what you hope for, intuit or are working on. What you’re trying to manifest can become so powerful that it ends up dominating your life, even though you may not see this coming. Mars/Pluto is a warning that financial and social matters can be risky, if you get caught up in competition, jealousy or comparison (what they have versus what you do not). In some cases, issues with friends or groups can involve manipulations and covert hostility. Tread carefully, make sure you can distinguish a positive, hidden potential from an illusion. 

Capricorn

Venus/Jupiter in your social sector suggests a fortuitous meeting with someone exceptional, or someone who can help you out in a significant way. Too, your public image can receive a boost as you attract new people. Your willingness to open up and go a step deeper with others will benefit you. Excellent for group activities, exploring a new friendship or promoting your work. Other aspects to Venus and the Sun in your social sector can open up the conversation and lead to increased empathy, understanding and perhaps an apology. However, Mercury/Neptune suggests there may be misunderstandings or secrets underneath the social scene. Gossip, mixed messages or suspicions can undermine the good vibe, so be cautious of what you say or hear. 

The New Moon in your social sector builds on the above in the guise of a new friendship, group activity or new chapter in a friendship. The energy may feel a bit more intense (and intimate) that you’re accustomed to, and Mars square Pluto in your sign adds competition and an urgent drive for success. Career matters, or issues of authority, can make you feel challenged, or see you pushing back. Be cautious about how hard you push  – there’s potential for damage, and the fallout will be public. 

Aquarius

Venus/Jupiter in your career sector suggests a powerful mentor or lucrative connection with someone in authority. Your professional image can receive a serious boost, and a promotion or successful job search are favoured as well. You may have an expansive vision of your future, and other aspects to the Sun and Venus in your career sector suggest increased potential for financial support from your creative efforts. However, Mercury/Neptune can add confusing messages from others, or misunderstandings when you communicate. Your perceptions of what others think may be skewed. Choose your words carefully when making public statements. 

The New Moon in your career sector suggests new job/new career goal/new professional image, based on the above. New hope for the future is also indicated. Watch for a heightened sense of passion and commitment to work/success/forward movement. Mars/Pluto can amplify the passion, and in some cases it may tip over into misguided obsession/competition. Of course you want to get ahead, but make sure you’re clear on your motivations.  In some cases, an ideal that you’re chasing  may need some reevaluation. 

Pisces

Venus/Jupiter in your sector of opportunities can plunge you into something new and wonderfully overwhelming. You may get swept away by a long- distance romance or opportunity connected to travel, education, legal matters or publishing. Aspects from Chiron and Neptune (in your sign) to the Sun and Venus in your opportunities sector can dissolve limits and encourage you to move past old fears and weaknesses. However, Mercury square Neptune in your sign suggests confusing messages from someone at work/in authority. Or, the messages you’re giving out may be unclear. Double-check all communication and make sure the facts are not obscured.

The New Moon in your opportunities sector can open a door into the unknown, based on the above developments. This new chapter can plunge you into deep and unfamiliar waters, and Mars/Pluto suggests background power struggles or difficulties with shared finances can add a compulsive edge.
