Water gushing out of thousands of springs at different places cannot move the wheels of a big engine to carry out very heavy tasks. But the channeled flow of the same water in the bed of a stream will, however, be irresistible and can become a source of tremendous energy. — Gulzarilal Nanda
As Pluto moves into Aquarius on November 19, beginning its long, slow, 20-year transit through that sign, it will make a tense opposition to Mars in Leo. This combination can lead to an extreme desire for power and aggression and compulsive, yet spur-of-the moment decisions. Overall, the watch phrase is: “Think before you act or speak.”
There is no doubt that we are dealing with strong energy at this time. However, remember that Aquarius is the sign of community, groups, cooperation and innovation. Pluto, the great transformer, when in Aquarius, urges us to come together and channel our energy to solve problems and to enhance our living conditions. The more we work together, the more we will accomplish. Mars moving into Leo is the sparkplug you need to move forward in your own personal growth. Change is all around us and Mars in Leo gives you the needed courage to change long-standing issues.
November 1: New Moon at 9 Degrees Scorpio at 5:46 AM EDT. A Scorpio New Moon brings up intense feelings and profound insights. This New Moon in Scorpio is an excellent time to take a deep look into your motivations and actions. Especially, ask yourself whether you are coming from a place of integrity and peace or from a place of fear and paranoia. The vast changes we are experiencing now and next year are an opportunity to collectively move mountains. Pluto, the ruler of Scorpio, leads the way as it moves into forward-thinking Aquarius on the 19th.
November 2: Mercury Enters Sagittarius. Jupiter Sextile Chiron at 20 Degrees Gemini/Aries. Mercury in Sagittarius brings a desire to expand your intellectual horizons, to go traveling and/or exploring. Jupiter sextile Chiron brings an ease to those matters that have been troubling you, especially those from the past. Chiron in Aries pushes you to take constructive action rather than to silently stew about past hurts or slights.
November 3: Venus Opposition Jupiter at 20 Degrees Sagittarius/Gemini. Venus trine Chiron at 20 Degrees Sagittarius/Aries. You will most likely feel like playing hooky from school or work when Venus is opposition Jupiter in the playful signs of Sagittarius and Gemini. Venus trine Chiron helps you to see past hurts or wounding in a positive, more light-hearted way. Venus opposing Jupiter asks you to look at where your life has gotten out of balance and to take the necessary steps to regain that balance.
November 3-4: Mars Opposition Pluto. Mars Enters Leo. Sun at 12 Degrees Scorpio Sesiquiquadrate Neptune at 27 Degrees Pisces. Sun Trine Saturn at 12 Degrees Scorpio/Pisces. Mars opposition Pluto just before the United States election is not an aspect I would choose. It shows power struggles, anger, violence and rash, impulsive decisions. Mars in Leo, the sign of leaders and leadership, only amplifies the energy. The Sun sesiquiquadrate Neptune brings an overlay of uncertainty and hidden forces behind everything. Luckily, the Sun trine Saturn helps to bring calm and discipline to cool off the overheated Mars opposition Pluto energy.
On a personal level, Mars opposition Pluto is superb for accomplishment. You have the mindset to move ahead despite any obstacles.
November 7: Venus Quincunx Uranus at 25 Degrees Sagittarius/Taurus. Venus quincunx Uranus can amplify impatience and rash decisions (Uranus). Be especially careful with money and romantic matters (Venus).
November 9: Venus Square Neptune at 27 Degrees Sagittarius/Pisces. Bring out the paint bushes and easels when Venus is square Neptune. Your creativity and intuition are enhanced but, alas, so is your tendency to be unrealistic or overly idealistic. You may expect more of your romantic partner than is realistic or you may see qualities in them that simply do not exist. If possible, delay decisions until Venus enters Capricorn on November 11 when you will have a more realistic viewpoint.
November 11: Sun Quincunx Jupiter at 19 Degrees Scorpio/Gemini. Sun Quincunx Chiron at 19 Degrees Scorpio/Aries. The Scorpio Sun quincunx both Jupiter and Chiron form a yod aspect with the Sun at the apex. Use this dynamic aspect to go deeply within (Scorpio Sun). Ask yourself: Where am I sabotaging myself? The Sun quincunx Chiron can illuminate needed adjustments.
November 11: Venus Enters Capricorn. Venus in Capricorn until February 4, 2025, is an excellent time to assess your career and financial goals.
November 14: Venus Quincunx Mars at 3 Degrees Capricorn/Leo. Venus Square the North Node (3 Degrees Aries) and South Node (3 Degrees Libra). When Venus is quincunx Mars and square the Nodes, something has to give and decisions must be made, especially concerning finances and relationshp matters,
November 15: Saturn Turns Starionary Direct at 12 Degrees Pisces. Hopefully, you came to some concrete decisions during Saturn’s retrograde period from June 29 until today. It is now time to add action to those decisions.
November 15-26: Full Moon at 24 -25 Degrees Taurus Conjunct Uranus Opposition Sun at 24 Degrees Scorpio.. Watch for unexpected emotional reactions when the Taurus Full Moon is conjunct Uranus and opposite the Sun in Scorpio. When both the Moon and Sun are in fixed signs, there is a danger of stubborn and unyielding positions. Uranus can break that logjam but, unfortunately, it brings the danger of chaotic, unreasonable actions. Keep a low profile under this Full Moon in Taurus.
November 18: Sun Trine Neptune at 27 Degrees Scorpio/Pisces. If possible, use the Sun trine Neptune to sit in quiet meditation. Both the Sun and Neptune in water signs give you deep insights into your spiritual needs. Your intuition will be at an all-time high level (especially for Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces). This aspect is especially beneficial for those of you in the creative or spiritual professions.
November 19: Pluto Enters Aquarius. Tiny, but mighty, Pluto moving into Aquarius begins a 20-year shift toward a more humanitarian, inclusive mindset, with less emphasis on capitalism, authoritarianism and patriarchal views. You won’t notice Pluto’s sojourn into Aquarius on a daily basis but, rest assured, Pluto is working behind the scenes to transform your outlook.
I gave a talk about the major shifts in year 2025 when all the outer planets, plus Saturn, change signs. I am busy editing it and hope to post it for viewing some time soon.
November 20-21: Sun Enters Sagittarius. The Sun in Sagittarius brings a welcome movement from intense, introspective Scorpio to more light-hearted, fun-oriented Sagittarius. The heavy energy of the last few weeks begins to dissipate and it should be easier to see the big picture. Intellectual and travel matters are favored. Plan a trip or, even better, take a trip to someplace new.
November 26: Mercury turns retrograde at 22 Degrees Sagittarius. Its time to re-examine your beliefs when Mercury is retrograde in Sagittarius until December 15.
November 27: Sun Trine Mars at 6 Degrees Sagittarius/Leo. The Sun trine Mars is an action-oriented aspect that favors starting something new and/or using your burst of energy and motivation to complete projects that have been stagnant for way to long. Be aware that Mercury is retrograde until December 15 and double check any detailed plans or contracts before proceeding.
November 28: Venus Square Chiron at 20 Degrees Capricorn/Aries. Venus square Chiron on Thanksgiving Day provides an opportunity to heal old emotional, family scars.
November 30: New Moon at 9 Degrees Sagittarius. The Sagittarius New Moon brings back a sense of optimism and the urge to leave your past traumas behind. A Sagittarius New Moon acts as a guide to transition from the dark times of facing our fears (Scorpio energy at the Full Moon) into a time of hope and optimism. Though the challenges remain, it is as though you are peeking out of a dark room into a shaft of light. The Sabian symbol for this New Moon is “A golden-haired goddess of opportunity.” It speaks to continuing with what you know is right, even if the road sometimes seems lonesome and long. Right thinking and right action will prevail.
