Overview

There’s a major energetic shift this week, as three planets change signs.

November 9th sees Mars’ Aquarius ingress. Actions, anger and passion may become more detached, or focused on breaking away from constricting rules. Mars in Aquarius can trigger the fight for a social cause, or an unexpected burst of innovation. Venus enters Capricorn on November 11th, adding focus and savvy to relationship, financial and self-esteem issues. Proven value and traditional expressions of love and beauty will be emphasized. On November 12th, Mercury heads into Sagittarius, broadening the scope of communication and ideas. All theories become possible (but not proven), and expansive promises will grow.

This is a mixed bag of influences – something for everyone. We’ve got Air, Earth and Fire, Cardinal, Mutable and Fixed. Even if you don’t feel each transit individually, you’re certain to feel an overall change in the atmosphere as different themes take precedence.

Aries

Mars into your social sector can introduce new friends, group activities or social causes. The mood is active, with the possibility of conflict with others. Good for trying something outside the usual, or interacting with those outside your regular social circle. Venus into your career sector encourages social ambition. Strategic career relationships will be important, as will polishing your professional image. Venus can give you a favourable shine, especially to those in authority. Mercury into your opportunities sector can open up the lines of communication regarding travel, legal matters, education or publishing. There may be a rapid download of new information/ideas. Teaching, studying and gaining a wider audience for your words is favoured.

Taurus

Mars into your career sector can pump up your ambition to move forward, or move out of a constricting role. A job search can be revitalized, but use a bit of caution when dealing with those in authority – your edgy attitude may not be appreciated. Venus into your opportunities sector focuses you on a particular desire – long distance romance, travel, education, legal matters or publishing may offer something that you really want. Mercury into your sector of shared resources can trigger discussions/information about debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy. Sensitivesubjects are best approached with an open attitude – consider a new angle, and work on dropping knee-jerk judgements. There may be more to discover or discuss , but you’ll never know if you shut down before the conversation starts. 

Gemini

Mars into your sector of opportunities can see you charging into brand new territory. Travel, education, legal matters, publishing or exploration are all ripe for action. Freedom to move and (possibly) fight for something will be themes. Venus into your sector of personal resources can see you getting serious about a relationship or financial matter. There’s potential for increased intimacy or financial assistance and you’ll be ready to focus in order to achieve a desired result. Mercury in your relationship sector can keep the conversation flowing between you and a partner. All one-on-one relationships should receive a friendly boost, with more for both of you to say, and new interests to share. If you’re single, this transit can open your eyes to a new relationship approach, or new attraction. 

Cancer

Mars into your sector of shared resources can stir up conflicts that come at you unexpectedly. Debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy can feel edgy. But Mars can also stir up added passion and innovative ways to handle your finances. The main challenge with this transit is that the tremendous energy will not be totally under your control – someone else may be calling the shots. Fortunately, Venus into your partnership sector improves all one-on-one connections. Attractions can solidify into real potential, and existing partnerships can achieve stability, if you look at the reality in front of you. Venus asks you to focus on what you can control (your ability to compromise and be an adult in relationships), even as Mars stirs up things that you can’t control. Mercury into your sector of routine can keep you busy with more work tasks/work conversations, added fixes/improvements or information about your health. Mercury can also be a breath of fresh air if a particular problem has been frustrating you – watch for inspiration or helpful conversations. 

Leo

Mars into your relationship sector can trigger passion or disruption in an existing partnership. Your partner’s freedom to be themselves may be an issue. New attractions, or any new one-on-one contacts, are likely to be a bit edgy. Venus into your sector of routine can improve issues with co-workers, health and daily tasks. You’ll find it easier to attract to the assistance you need, and the results of your work/improvements can also attract a financial boost. Mercury into your sector of self-expression can lead to some flirtatious moments, while boosting your confidence and creativity. Excellent for inspiration that’s put into words.  

Virgo

Mars into your sector of routine can keep you busy with added obligations, tasks or medical issues. However, you can also discover innovative approaches and solutions that keep you on top of your game. The key will be trying it in a different way, or actively pursuing a different fix. Venus into your sector of self-expression can help you solidify a new romance, creative project or desired goal. Your confidence can also increase, and this will all depend on your ability to focus on what you want. Get real about a desired goal and apply some practical strategies. Mercury in your domestic sector indicates more discussions with family, or more information pertaining to a relocation, home business, rental or mortgage agreement. Keep your eyes open for new, more positive options. Especially helpful for breaking free from ingrained family issues. 

Libra

Mars into your sector of self-expression can trigger a hot new attraction, or push you forward to show off what you’ve got. This transit stimulates your creativity, social sparkle and urge to celebrate, all while giving you the initiative to do it your way. Venus into your domestic sector can increase your desire to decorate or purchase – you’ll be looking at items that create a sense of domestic beauty and status. Family relationships can also improve, as long as accepted traditions are followed. Mercury into your sector of communication opens the door to new contacts and fresh ideas. This can be a busy time, with a rush of emails, phone calls and brief meetings. Possibilities and hopes will expand.

Scorpio

Mars into your domestic sector can stir up family conflicts, renovations or breakdowns around the home. The theme will be breaking away from the past, so the positive side to this could be a relocation (literal or metaphorical) that disrupts ties with outdated habits. Even some simple renovations can inject fresh energy. Venus into your communication sector helps you put the best things into words, while allowing you to recognize the value of certain promises, compliments, or new contacts. If you need to communicate something in a way that charms or convinces, this is your transit. Mercury into your sector of personal resources suggests optimistic conversations or ideas about money/personal values. New sources of income, discussions about salary or attempts to communicate what you need, are all favoured. 

Sagittarius

Mars into your sector of communications suggests fighting words – you may assert your opinions, especially if an ideal or future inspiration is on the table. Too, someone else may toss a revolutionary new idea in your lap. It won’t be a smooth ride, but it will keep things interesting. Sibling issues may also flare up. Venus into your sector of personal resources gets you focused on what you need, financially and emotionally. And your chances of attracting what you need improve, as long as you employ strategy, realism and focus. This transit can clue you into what has real value, and what should be avoided. Mercury into your sign gifts you with even more opinions than usual. Combined with Mars in your communication sector, the next month will give you plenty to say. New ideas, contacts and ideals will push your buttons, and you may do some button pushing yourself. Great if you need to promote something, but know that it will be very easy to get sucked into verbal battles (especially on social media). It would be a shame to waste all this energy – pick your causes wisely. 

Capricorn

Mars into your sector of personal resources can trigger spurts of income, or spending. Mars can also gift you with innovation about how to earn more, and increased motivation to go after what you need. Venus into your sign blends well with this Mars position- Venus can attract desirable and lucrative situations/people, so what you want is right in front you. And Mars is positioned to help you do something about it. Mercury into your hidden sector sharpens your intuition and creativity. Background issues, secrets, gossip and unexplored potentials are areas where you can learn more. 

Aquarius

Mars into your sign says it’s go time for a background potential or issue that’s been simmering over the past month. Your energy, ambition, passion and possibly anger will be on the rise. There’s something you’re considering pursuing, and the warrior planet doesn’t visit your sign every day. Make good use of the extra fire in your corner. In contrast to Mars, Venus into your hidden sector can see you holding back (or keeping secrets) where an attraction or personal desire is concerned. It’s appropriate to keep something on the back burner for now, while you suss out its true value. Mercury into your social sector can boost interactions with friends and groups. You may reach out and contact friends, or make some new contacts. This influence is also supportive of a public forum for your opinions.

Pisces

Mars into your hidden sector can damp down your motivation, or redirect it towards a background issue. Energy may be lower, or you may find it easier to deal with less structured issues. Personal freedom and down time may be at the top of your list. Venus into your social sector could make downtime difficult to come by, as this transit can attract people to you. Friends and groups can provide positive, stable experiences. Mercury into your career sector can bring more meetings, professional contacts and work discussions. A job search can receive an injection of new leads/interviews.
