Overview

November 2nd brings a hurtful square (the last of three) between Saturn in Sagittarius and Chiron Rx in Pisces. Rules and responsibilities can be painful, as you run up against extra pressure or restrictions. Fortunately, Mercury in Scorpio is trining Chiron on this same day, so you have an immediate point of release – talk about the issue, and be completely honest about it. Not only will you find empathy, you may uncover assistance or hidden resources. 

The November 4th Full Moon in Taurus squares Ceres in Leo, suggesting challenges around nurturing, security and mother issues. Taurus wants to hang onto things, but Ceres is about the cycle of nurturing and loss. Results may not allow you to maintain what you have, but the Moon’s sextile/Sun’s trine to Neptune Rx in Pisces indicates that dissolution can open up new potentials. Events will flow as they’re meant to, so there’s no use trying to maintain the illusion of control. The opposition between Venus in Libra and Uranus Rx on the same day says that this ending/result will be jolting, and you may feel off-balance (initially). 

Lack of security, or what’s missing/not enough, will be themes. But Neptune’s aspects do provide expansion (although not always in a predictable direction) and Uranus always clarifies. You’ll know exactly what you have left, and where you can go from here. 

Aries

Aspects to Chiron Rx in your hidden sector suggest difficulties around long-distance travel, education, legal matters or publishing. Wounds that are not immediately visible may be triggered by hard rules or limits on how far you can travel/expand. Going deeper to research and discuss the issue can help. Too, you may have access to financial assistance or psychological support. At the very least, you can arrive at a profound understanding by talking about what’s hidden.

The Full Moon in your sector of personal resources suggests that culminations involving earned money, self-esteem or emotional security may trigger fears of not having enough, or not being able to give/nurture enough. Insecurities may be combined with neediness or grasping behaviour, in an attempt to “make” someone love you or control an outcome via what you can give. Venus opposite Uranus Rx in your sign ties these events to a relationship ending, surprise or abrupt reveal. You have limited control over this outcome (and over the other person). Take a close look at what you’re not acknowledging  – calm acceptance of the nature of impermanence can loosen your grip just enough to take the edge off. 

Taurus

Aspects to Chiron Rx in your social sector suggest embracing vulnerable moments with friends, groups or your public image. Private financial concerns or hidden fears/boundaries can be tripped by an innocent interaction. You may feel exposed by what’s missing in your life. Open discussion with others can help, especially in a one-on-one context. There’s empathy and cooperation available to you. 

The Full Moon in your sign can stir up domestic tensions involving children, domestic finances or disagreements with a partner over personal versus family nurturing. You may feel torn between looking out for yourself versus giving care and energy to those closest to you. The Venus/Uranus opposition suggests surprising reveals or disruptions around health, daily routines or work – there may be something extra (to fix or take care of) that you hadn’t planned for. Being aware of the bigger picture can help. You may find that group or higher ideals mesh well with more personal concerns. Don’t be afraid to turn to others for advice or examples of how to deal; you may discover that you’re not the only one going through this. 

Gemini

Aspects to Chiron Rx in your career sector can trigger painful partnership issues, related to differing views of success, pressure to succeed or conflicting plans for the future. You could feel less than capable, or vulnerable when dealing with someone in authority. Competition with someone at work could trigger a sore spot. Fortunately, your recognition of practical solutions and details in your daily routines/work methods will work in your favour. Speak up about what’s bothering you, but do so in a way that shows you’re prepared to make improvements. 

The Full Moon in your hidden sector suggests secret issues (related to work or health) may trigger open disagreements about nurturing. How you (or someone else) needs to be nurtured may be a point of contention. Health issues can be especially frustrating, but looking beyond the immediate issue to the bigger picture (or future potentials) can help. Believe it or not, this culmination can help you realize a future/career ideal, as long as you’re willing to allow events to unfold, even if the results don’t look perfect. The Venus/Uranus opposition suggests social surprises may be part of the picture. You could attract what you want (attention, romance, recognition) in a very unexpected way, or attract what you didn’t expect. Too, the reaction of others may change your mind completely by revealing the truth about an unacknowledged desire. 

Cancer

Aspects to Chiron in your sector of opportunities can see you questioning recent expansions, in the areas of long-distance travel, education, legal matters, publishing or ideals. Your faith may be tested by extra responsibilities (in the areas of work, daily routines or health) that make you feel incapable or flawed. However, you’re not doing everything wrong. You just need to adjust to a more stringent routine. Open, honest discussion about the issue can help, and can add some juice to your creativity and appeal. Maybe others need to hear about your insecurities. 

The Full Moon in your social sector suggests culminations/results involving friends, groups or the public can heighten feelings of insecurity. You could feel challenged to provide appropriate nurturing (for another, or yourself). Doubts can increase your feelings that there’s not enough for you. The Venus/Uranus opposition indicates that career and domestic disruptions will be part of the picture. A desired outcome at home/with family may bring more than you bargained for. Give yourself some breathing room (and perspective) by looking up and out. This is a new area that you’re exploring, and you’re moving in the right direction. Look beyond feelings of inadequacy, and allow yourself to dream of positive outcomes.  

Leo

Aspects to Chiron in your sector of shared resources can trigger sensitive issues around debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or intimacy. Not having enough to share/spend, or dealing with someone’s refusal to share/get close can be painful. But discussions with those closest to you (involving family, a domestic partnership or domestic finances) can help you work through some of the difficulties. 

The Full Moon in your career sector, square Ceres in your sign, suggests results around career/future goals that hi-light tension around what you’re trying to nurture. This could be self-nurturing or your efforts as a parent.  A new job, job search or issues with success/ambition can push you into smothering overdrive, or challenge your ability to provide. The Venus/Uranus opposition adds in sudden announcements/conversations/goodbyes. What you learn could completely change your mind about what you want. If in doubt, look deeper or go behind the scenes. A close relationship or sources of shared income may have more for you than you realize. It might be time to pool your resources or admit to something you’ve been holding back. 

Virgo

Aspects to Chiron in your relationship sector suggest painful partnership issues involving domestic responsibilities. The weight of family obligations could emphasize relationship insecurities, but rather than shutting down, consider an open, deeply honest discussion. The responsibilities won’t go away, but your partner may be more empathetic than you think. And, an agreement can be reached. 

The Full Moon in your sector of opportunities suggests a conclusion involving long-distance travel, education, legal matters and publishing. The results will trigger hidden fears of loss, insecurities about motherhood/nurturing, or refusal to let go and accept that a new chapter is starting. The Venus/Uranus opposition can add some financial or security jolts to the mix – unexpected expenses or gains can be equally disruptive, as you scramble to maintain a balance. Watch for subtly shift partnership issues to help you out- releasing old fears/controlling tendencies and replacing them with acceptance and forgiveness (or self and others) can sooth you.

Libra

Aspects to Chiron in your sector of routine suggest the reveal of flaws or weaknesses involving health or daily work. A conversation or understanding may hi-light what you can’t fix, or where you can’t quite deliver. However, further discussion and research can reveal deeper value in your existing work, or some workarounds that enhance your security. Discussions about finances still have some positive potential, even if you don’t achieve everything you’re hoping for. 

The Full Moon in your sector of shared resources delivers a conclusion around debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy. Results may call for you to give up some control (although you never had full control) as someone else has a say in what you share or owe. Fears of loss (involving friends or groups) will be quite public. Uranus Rx opposite Venus in your sign will emphasize the unexpected aspects of this Moon – watch for a complete reversal in a relationship. Surprises can involve an ending or (in some cases) a delightful gift. Whatever comes your way has been building for awhile, even if the final outcome seems to emerge from nowhere. And there is room for gentle growth and expansion, although it won’t be in an obvious direction. The value of what you share or want may be abruptly clarified. 

Scorpio

Aspects to Chiron in your sector of self-expression can trigger insecurities or feelings of failure, as you encounter limits in your efforts to succeed/impress. Creative work, performance or a new attraction can be areas where you’re reminded of what you can’t have, or where you’re not appreciated. However, the trine to Mercury in your sign suggests that open discussion about what’s happening may work to your benefit. You’ll have profound insight into the situation if you observe what’s happening and analyze your reactions/feelings. This insight will enable you to craft a compelling argument or story. Even if things don’t go your way, there’s still room for healing discussion. 

The Full Moon in your partnership sector presents a relationship culmination that may trigger a crisis around your career or future goals. Nurturing professional ambitions will clash with personal issues. The Sun in your sign trines Neptune Rx, taking the edge off any harsh or disruptive results. Forgiveness, healing, compassion or gentle romance are possibilities, and the Venus/Uranus opposition promises a surprising reveal. What comes to light may shift the balance in a partnership, or reveal an unexpected attraction. Open yourself up to whatever happens, while releasing expectations of what should happen. 

Sagittarius

Aspects to Chiron in your domestic sector (including the square to Saturn in your sign) suggest some painful moments at home/with family. This will involve your extra responsibilities – you may need others to step up (but they can’t) or you may be dealing with some difficult family history. Responsibilities may involve care of a sick family member. It’s up to you to be the adult and shoulder the extra burdens. Fortunately, your instincts or knowledge of something behind the scenes will help you out. Tap into what you sense, or pay attention to what nobody is openly discussing. 

The Full Moon in your sector of routine suggests results involving health, daily routines or work will challenge your efforts to expand/learn more. Something bigger that you’ve been nurturing will either alert you to what you’re doing wrong, or how your immediate obligations don’t allow you to go any further (for now). The Venus/Uranus opposition indicates that abrupt social endings or surprises (involving friends, group associations or your public image) will be involved. There could be a conflict between your efforts to gain attention/explore versus obligations that are tying you down. Rather than struggling to do it all, try letting go of one of two things that aren’t top priority. Releasing a bit can give you enough breathing room so you can exhale fully. 

Capricorn

Aspects to Chiron in your communication sector can trigger painful conversations or realizations. Background fears may hinder your ability to speak openly. Or, you could be reminded of an old failure/weakness that triggers immediate insecurities. You may have difficulties being heard or understood. However, there is plenty of room for you to speak, despite these insecurities. You’ve got an audience- all you need to do is let them know what you’re thinking. It can be helpful to openly discuss your worries, as others will be empathetic. 

The Full Moon in your sector of self-expression continues the theme of doubts around open expression. Results involving creative work, performance, a new attraction or children/pregnancy can stir up private fears of loss, or worries about your ability to provide/nurture. The Venus/Uranus opposition suggests career or future goals/ambitions will also be involved, as an abrupt readjustment between work and home occurs. Acceptance may be the last thing on your mind, but an open attitude to what’s in front of you can help. Listen and speak with no judgements, and consider if this new path has more to offer. Public speaking and promotions can still work in your favour. 

Aquarius

Aspects to Chiron in your sector of personal resources can emphasize a financial shortfall or intensify feelings of insecurity. Rules/limits/judgements involving friends, groups or your place in the community could be the trigger, as you struggle with fears of not having enough. Or, not feeling entitled to having what you need. Planning for the future can help, as you discuss career options/future goals, or map out a strategy to address the areas where you feel weakest. Discussions with those in authority can bring relief. 

The Full Moon in your domestic sector suggests endings/results at home or with family will stir up some tension with a partner. Disagreements over nurturing or childcare may be raised, and a discrepancy between what they can give versus what you need will be hi-lighted. The Venus/Uranus opposition suggests a surprising announcement or conversation will be part of the picture. Despite the tension, there’s room for growth and understanding, and you may actually have everything you need already. Pay attention to the ongoing shift in your financial and self-esteem requirements. Your security requirements have changed. Watch for opportunities for financial assistance from work, or a chance to earn in a more creative, satisfying field.  

Pisces

Aspects to Chiron in your sign can stir up insecurities related to career, your professional image or dealings with those in authority. Rules or heavy responsibilities can see you questioning if you can handle the burden. In some cases, the responsibilities may be too much; you’ll have to judge if this is something you’re meant to shoulder, or if you should move on. Talking to a guide/mentor, or exploring the bigger picture can help you gain perspective. Too, education, foreign issues or publishing can be areas of release and healing. 

The Full Moon in your communication sector can present an answer, final decision or announcement that stirs up insecurities around work or health. Shortfalls in health care or efforts to nurture another will be revealed, and your approach to work/routines may be challenged. The Venus/Uranus opposition adds in unexpected developments with debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or intimacy. A surprising about-face or change in financial status can rattle your security. However, harmonious aspects to Neptune in your sign suggest there’s plenty of room for forgiveness, release and growth. You may be able to transcend these events, as you discover that the big ending was not such a big deal, after all. What seemed vitally important may be anti-climactic, or less serious than anticipated.

Overview

The Sun enters Scorpio on October 23rd (1:26 am EDT) and conjoins Jupiter on October 26th. Events from the October 18th Mercury/Jupiter conjunction will be given added fuel, and Scorpio season in general will be coloured by this Jupiter transit. That means secrets, reveals, intensity and hidden resources. It may get darker, but there will opportunity (Jupiter) in that darkness. The deeper you go, the more you’ll have to work with, and the more meaning, faith and hope you’ll uncover. 

This Scorpio season will be about internal journeys. 

October 24th features a trine from Mercury in Scorpio to Neptune Rx in Pisces, which will enable all information and discussions pertaining to the above. Neptune will dissolve hesitation/writer’s block and dilute Scorpio’s darkness just enough so that it will be easier to look at and talk about what’s taboo. 

On October 27th, Venus in Libra squares Pluto in Capricorn, intensifying relationship, money and self-esteem issues. But the square is a crisis aspect, and in this case, the crisis will be about a power imbalance, craving or fear of loss. Pluto will amplify the desire for what you don’t quite have, or what you think you’re missing. Fortunately, Mercury in Scorpio will sextile Pluto on the same day. So your solution to the square will be a calm, honest confrontation with the facts. Talk about it or look at it, and you may find that the life or death “must have” is not as severe as you think. 

Aries

The Sun into your sector of shared resources conjoins Jupiter, adding more emphasisto something that began around October 18th. Issues involving debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy will gain prominence and intensity. Your fears of losing control can increase, but you never really had control to begin with, so you might as well be open to what’s happening. Positive potentials include financial assistance and getting closer to someone special. Mercury’s trine to Neptune Rx will make intimate or difficult conversations easier to handle. You’ll be gifted with some profound realizations. Excellent for psychological work and the gentle reveal of secrets. 

Aspects to Pluto in your career sector can trigger relationship tensions or competition/jealousy, although these issues won’t be overt. Watch for disguised power struggles or manipulation. A new or existing relationship can become more complicated if the other person has a hidden agenda. Look beneath the surface – use your intuition and access to hidden information to get to the truth.

Taurus

The Sun in your partnership sector conjoins Jupiter, expanding on potentials that began around October 18th. Intimacy and profound honesty grow in a new or existing relationship, as you and your partner explore deeper sources of mutual security. Hopes for your future together can become more tangible. If a relationship is ending, you should see future possibilities steadily increasing – there’s so much more to come. Mercury’s trine to Neptune Rx favours all communication (group, friends and one-on-one). Connections with others should feel almost effortless, as you’re guided by instinct and empathy. 

Aspects to Pluto in your sector of opportunities suggests tense moments at work, with co-workers or around health/daily routines. What you want will be at odds with big-picture issues; ideals may be out of sync with reality, or someone in a position of power could be making things difficult. Your ability to deliver what’s needed could be challenged as the pressure increases. The solutions lies in one-on-one discussions. These can open the door to compromises, while allowing you to express your feelings. 

Gemini

The Sun in your sector of routine conjoins Jupiter, triggering more work and/or more solutions. What began around October 18th will gain momentum, which means you can move forward with plans for self-improvement, a medical diagnosis or changes in your daily work. Mercury’s trine to Neptune Rx suggests discussions about work or health will favour compassion over logic. This can help you deal with extra pressure and the exposure of problems. Creative solutions are favoured – the long-term dream or ideal is possible.

Aspects to Pluto in your sector of shared resources suggests tense moments involving an obsessive attraction, jealousy or money issues. You may want someone/something to the extent that you end up taking things too far, or giving/spending what you don’t have. Use caution when celebrating or indulging. Fortunately, you also have some immediate solutions and facts at your fingertips. Apply what you know to the situation, especially if you’re having trouble differentiating between a healthy desire versus unhealthy obsession. 

Cancer

The Sun in your sector of self-expression conjoins Jupiter, lighting up a happy potential that you became aware of around October 18th. New romance, creative work, play/celebrations or issues with children/pregnancy can take on added light. The more you consider possible, the better your results will be. You have a very nice shot at getting what you want, or impressing others with your talents – don’t hold back. Mercury’s trine to Neptune Rx encourages you to make your feelings known, publish your words or reach out to an audience. You can strike a profound chord with the masses, or with someone special, simply by tuning into what you feel and not overthinking.  Allow your thoughts to flow. 

Aspects to Pluto in your partnership sector suggest some tricky relationship dynamics. Issues with home/family/a domestic partnership may bring a relationship imbalance to a head. Too, you could feel pressured to make changes before you feel ready. Or, you may be the one pushing for change. It is time to turn a corner (things cannot remain the same) but your best bet lies in open, creative suggestions, rather than power struggles or stubborn insistence. Talk it through – there’s plenty of room for compromise and you may still get what you want. 

Leo

The Sun into your domestic sector conjoins Jupiter, adding fuel to the expansion and changes that began around October 18th. A relocation, renovation or developments with family can gain momentum, and Mercury’s trine to Neptune Rx enables smooth discussions about home finances, debts, taxes, your partner’s finances or intimacy. Even if you’re confronting buried issues from the past, at the very least you should find it easier to move forward. Don’t force the conversation – allow things to unfold naturally and you’ll cover all the ground you need to. 

Aspects to Pluto in your sector of routine indicate challenging conversations, diagnoses or instructions. There may be an intensified push to make changes/improvements, but the desired outcome will feel forced or manipulated. Gentle but direct requests/questions are your best bet. Rather than using passive-aggressive techniques, or disguising the truth with insincere compliments, just present the facts.

Virgo

The Sun into your communication sector conjoins Jupiter, adding more hope, confidence or perspective to a big idea/promise that first came to light around October 18th. This could be the next stage of your plan/promotion/publication, fuelled by confidence that everything will work out. And you do stand a higher than usual chance of success. If you’ve been digging for information, you can illuminate even more, and your timing will be bang on. Excellent for special requests or ambitious plans. Mercury’s trine to Neptune Rx helps out with a naturally developing, one-on-one discussion. A partner or close friend will feel what you’re saying, and will be very receptive to your ideas. Also good for non-judgemental listening. 

Aspects to Pluto in your sector of self-expression can churn up jealousy, obsessive attraction or distorted attempts to make yourself feel better. If you’re feeling ignored, insecure or unsatisfied, this aspect can push you to overspend or overplay your hand. Rather than comparing what others have to what you’re lacking, or focusing on a lack of appreciation, use your intensified drive and communicate. Passionate writing and discussions will provide an outlet for this energy, and give your words a powerful impact. Just remember that you cannot force a desired reaction. State your case and leave it at that. 

Libra

The Sun into your sector of personal resources conjoins Jupiter, expanding on lucrative potentials that began around October 18th. More money (or more expenses) can accelerate, as you’re energized to expect more, look after yourself, or indulge. This energy is about realizing that what you’re worth can increase. Mercury’s trine to Neptune Rx opens up discussions about work and health – information and ideas should flow naturally, and you shouldn’t have to push to get what you need. 

Aspects to Pluto in your domestic sector (including the square to Venus in your sign) can increase your ability to magnetize, but will also trigger tense undercurrents based on family issues or struggles for control. An attraction or personal goal can feel all-consuming; try to maintain a balance between what you want versus what’s actually available. Clear, calm communication about what you need can take the edge off, and remind you that it will be ok if you don’t get everything you want. Part of the intensity is due to Pluto’s all or nothing vibe, even if the situation doesn’t seem that extreme on the surface. 

Scorpio

The Sun into your sign conjoins Jupiter, bringing you more of what began around October 18th. A plan, potential or new chapter can gain momentum, along with your increasing power and optimism. Keep looking ahead. If Jupiter has expanded something less pleasant, the Sun can illuminate things, so at least you’ll know where you stand and how deep it goes. Mercury in your sign trines Neptune Rx, gifting you with persuasion, creativity and an almost magical ability to say the right thing. The trick is not to force it – the right words should come naturally, and you’ll have a sense of when to speak up and when to stay quiet. Excellent for promoting yourself or impressing someone. 

Aspects to Pluto in your communication sector suggest there’s more going on behind the scenes. A hidden attraction, personal goal or desire can trigger some oddly intense conversations or thoughts. Fortunately, Mercury in your sign makes a supportive sextile to Pluto, so all you have to do is say/write what you mean. Your words will have significant power, and you’ll be able to get to the bottom of things without too much effort. Trust your instincts. 

Sagittarius

The Sun in your hidden sector conjoins Jupiter, adding heat to a hidden potential that first came to light around October 18th. The dream is gaining strength – what’s in the background will continue to expand, so don’t ignore it. Mercury’s trine to Neptune Rx enables the smooth discussion of secrets, buried family issues or creative ideas that you’ve had trouble putting into words (until now). 

Aspects to Pluto in your sector of personal resources can trigger jealousy, intense attraction or odd moments of competition amongst friends or groups. A social outing may trigger uncomfortable moments of manipulation or bitchiness. Too, you may find that public reaction to what you’re selling/promoting is not quite as pleasant as you thought it would be. Consider your primary motivation – what do you want to get out of this interaction? Tuning in to what you sense (the unspoken words behind the words) can help – you do have access to hidden truths. Pay attention to what’s really going on, and act accordingly. 

Capricorn

The Sun into your social sector conjoins Jupiter, expanding on developments with friends, groups or the public that began around October 18th. A deepening association, public commitment or public launch can gain momentum. So can public exposure. Mercury’s trine to Neptune Rx ensures that communication is open, sensitive and easily received. Discussions with others can flow naturally, opening up even greater possibilities. 

Aspects to Pluto in your sign can trigger an urge for achievement or recognition at work, in a professional relationship or concerning your home business. However, you may end up pushing a bit too much as you set your sights on something/someone – be careful that ambition is not misplaced. Your professional image could also be up for an overhaul. Mercury’s sextile to Pluto in your sign urges you to talk/think it through – you’ll have access to advice from others and your own powerful insight.

Aquarius

The Sun into your career sector conjoins Jupiter, revealing a bit more about your future. The first hints may have been presented around October 18th, and now future potentials(involving a job search, future goals or job change) are demanding even more energy from you. It’s all good, because you’re fully committing yourself to your best path. Mercury’s trine to Neptune Rx suggests positive ideas/discussions about earned money and emotional security will be involved.

Aspects to Pluto in your hidden sector can trigger unforeseen compulsions or insecurities, as fears of ultimate change/loss cause you to struggle with future possibilities. Long-distance issues, long-distance romance, education, legal matters or publishing may reflect one thing on the surface, but underneath, there’s something more going on. Your best approach is to make plans for the future –  acknowledge what scares you/what’s been kept secret, talk to someone in authority, and be open about what’s really happening. Career issues can benefit from deeply honest conversations. 

Pisces

The Sun into your opportunities sector conjoins Jupiter, bringing increased access or fervour for something that began around October 18th. Long-distance travel, education, legal matters or publishing can continue to gain prominence, as you’re encouraged to keep exploring/moving forward. Mercury’s trine to Neptune Rx in your sign continues the expansion theme, as a conversation/idea/new subject of interest seeps into all corners of your life. 

Aspects to Pluto in your social sector can stir up tensions around debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy. Social pressure/prompts may trigger deeper compulsions or fears of losing control. You may want more/spend more, but keep track of how far you’re going. If you start to lose sight of what’s really happening, it can help to step back and take the long view – consider future ramifications, or reach out to someone (a mentor or teacher) who has knowledge of what you’re dealing with.
