(March
20 - April 18) Fire. Ruling planet

This
is a good month for you, Aries, one in which
practical concerns are emphasized, and yet
full of surprises too. You are finding yourself
in a very high energy work environment lately
and making concrete moves that are suitable
to the occasion. You are also likely to be
setting idealized goals for yourself in the
midst of it all, and reaching for greater involvement
from the standpoint of your own deep intuitional
center. You have a great chance to really make
a difference in the world right now, especially
since you seem to be more serious about your
true path than ever before. If you were waiting
find out what you would be when you grew up,
perhaps now is the time to make that discovery.
As the month begins, you are feeling the wave of change from the New Moon of
October 28th in your sector of personal transformation. This is a cycle of
metamorphosis for you, and although the feeling may be subtle, when you tune
into your interior spaces you will find a definite chime with that idea. You
are at this time combining a concrete sense of possibility and responsibility
for finding the best next step for yourself with a profound sense of intuition
from your deep center for an optimistic assessment of your way forward.
With the First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, November 5th, the day after the election,
you are likely to be seeing the drawbacks as well as the benefits of the plan
that is forming inside you. There is a pending change of great magnitude that
is coming to you in this end of year time frame that will allow you to see
your world and your activities on the public stage quite differently. A moment
of tension in your process now yields gracefully to increased awareness of
where you have suffered trauma and how this sense of woundedness at times prevents
clear action.
With the Full Moon a week later, taking place on Wednesday, November 12th,
you are drawn to find the idealistic high road but may also become bogged down
in the details of what you are trying to accomplish. This is a time when you
may need to beware of an over-active imagination in the service of your high
ideals. It is massive, what you are attempting to bring through at this time
in terms of your connection to society at large, and you might be forced to
yield to the relative disappointment of practical concerns.
This is also a period when significant others in your life may prove to be
the catalyst for serious commitment to the path that has been slowly opening
before you. There is tremendous energy for positive change available to you
right now, and the potential for powerful action in service to your ideals,
but you must be sure to check in with your inner voice and move in concert
with the guidance you find there or suffer the consequences.
Toward the end of the month, with the Thanksgiving Day weekend, a new understanding
is dawning for you regarding how to work with all the question marks in your
life and with the possible answers also.
Taurus 
(April
19 - May 19) Earth. Ruling planet Venus. Top
In the Lonely Planet guide to excellence in travel and transformation you rate
five stars, Taurus. You are plotting your course for future greatness at the
same time as you take your responsibilities in the present moment more seriously
than ever. These things are not mutually exclusive: as you sow, so shall you
reap. Mid-month is powerful for you and tunes your own drumbeat to cultural
values of a specific nature; your selectiveness shows. Partnership in your
life is powerful for you right now, and tunes you in to discovering your own
way forward. By the middle of the following month, you will discover a magical
realm of individualized self-hood a gesture away.
As the month begins, you are feeling your way forward into a new and uncertain
future for yourself that takes as its starting point both an open mind for
possibility and a greater sense of responsibility for meaningful change in
your life. This is an important time for you when you will see you way clear
to necessary transformation in many different areas. The wheel of your life
is turning and you cannot slow it down nor have it go back; but yet you can
really make it hum.
The First Quarter Moon may raise the specter of drawbacks in what you are attempting
but also brings a refreshing new perspective where you can better see the possibilities
as well as the obstacles. Old patterns of behavior that hold you back from
total accomplishment may begin to yield to a more conscious approach.
The Full Moon taking place a week later, on Wednesday, November 12th, comes
as a culmination to your process over these last two weeks. This is a huge
mid-month period of time for you, one that allows you to fully appreciate everything
you are going through right now, the upside as well as the difficulties. You
are in an entirely idealized space with respect to your work in the world,
optimistically pursuing new horizons, mental as well as physical, as you simultaneously
establish yourself more firmly in what you are attempting. Although significant
partners in your life are very important to you right now, you are the one
taking full responsibility for who you are in the world at this time, and for
what you could become.
The dust begins to settle with the Last Quarter Moon of the following Wednesday,
the 19th. This represents a time when you are more informed than ever about
your circumstances and of the real possibility for evolutionary change in your
life, and for the potential setbacks also.
The last weekend of the month, in the days following the Thanksgiving Day New
Moon of November 27th, is a powerful time for you as well, when you are feeling
mostly positive toward the radical transformation that the final weeks of the
year might bring to you. The ship of your life thus far is pulling away from
the dock toward a new destination and there's no turning back to the illusion
of safety in what has been left behind.
Gemini 
(May
20 - June 20) Air. Ruling planet Mercury. Top
It is getting to be time to make your move, Gemini. Plans that have been floating
around in your psyche for quite a while now are beginning to gel. Brilliant
ideas stemming from the very beginning of the month help to define the parameters
of your spiritual journey. You have of course no final notion what you will
become when you finally grow up, but you are beginning to get the idea. The
mid-month Full Moon represents a peaceful time and one culmination of dreams
and schemes for a braver and better world. At the Thanksgiving New Moon, partnership
with others becomes instrumental for lighting your own way forward.
As the month begins, you are coming to a new concept of what you want to do
with the rest of your life. There are ways that you have been inhabiting a
new sense of self lately, and now more fully. There could continue to be some
surprising developments in your workplace to contend with as you move ahead
with new ideas that you may be better able to be of service to the world around
you. You win when you are as open as possible to the opportunities that are
presenting themselves to you right now, in the midst of a season of change.
With the First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, November 5th, you might feel the
drawbacks as well as the ultimate benefits of your schemes and dreams.
The Full Moon of the following week, taking place on Wednesday, November 12th,
is an important time when you might feel like your future is on the line. Memories
of past successes and failures might feel like limitation or else may hold
the key to future progress and to potential changes in the way you see your
world. You are coming from a place of high idealism and an optimistic assessment
of what is concretely possible, and the quality of your faith might just be
able to remove the mountain of your uncertainty.
The Last Quarter Moon in the middle of the following week serves to cook these
factors into a potent mix that raises the level of your understanding and allows
you to make ready for breakthrough by the end of the month.
The last weekend of November following the New Moon of Thursday the 27th, Thanksgiving
Day, will be powerful for you, and involve partnership with others as you transform
your own stance in the world and inch a little further forward along the path
that you were always meant to travel.
Cancer 
(June
21 - July 21) Water. Ruling planet is the Moon. Top
Your seriously studious side is emerging in you lately, Cancer. You might feel
a little slowed down in your communication with others but you are also descending
more fully into your own process and bringing this depth to your interaction
with others. In this way, you permit new levels of interaction to emerge. You
are coming to different perceptions almost daily that affect your relationship
with everyone around you but most pertinently to yourself. Is that an angel
that you suddenly see coming through a new doorway or some other species of
enlightenment?
As the month begins, you are finding enlightened partnership activities extremely
appealing, as an adjunct to finding your own way forward into a higher truth.
You are in some important senses redefining yourself during the course of this
monthly cycle, and the few bumps in the road that you encounter are grist for
your mill. The best way to regard these apparent setbacks is that you can use
them to increase your understanding of your true situation. This is an essentially
optimistic time for you, when you are coming to an enlarged viewpoint on life
in general, and when significant others in your life will help to see you through.
At the time of the First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, November 5th, there are
likely to be some difficulties that arise in creating intimacy, either with
partners or within the sphere of your own inner world. There may be old patterns
from the past that come up for acceptance and healing at this time. If there
are factors within you that you would rather not recognize, and that you habitually
ignore, now might be the best time to honor these walled-off parts of yourself
and give them a place in your heart. This is the way to healing them and allowing
yourself to move past them.
With the Full Moon of the following week, taking place on Wednesday, November
12th, you have a terrific chance to find the gold in these mines and to stake
out a new plan for a more vibrant future. You are half in and half out of the
so-called real world at this time, and it can be confusing. Idealism or illusion
regarding others may have to yield to practical concerns after all. But the
good news is that by integrating these feelings and taking real-world concerns
into account you can transcend them and come to a mediated position that honors
the physical while honoring the fully apparent multi-dimensional nature of
existence also.
In the week that follows, the Last Quarter Moon of Wednesday, November 19th,
may serve to remind you that no matter how basically blessed your path there
still remain various drawbacks and potential mishaps for your partnership dynamic
and your process of personal evolution.
With the Thanksgiving Day New Moon of Thursday, November 27th, you are making
a fresh start with all these issues and with finding your own unique path forward
in spite of the recalcitrant ways of the world.
Leo 
(July
22 - August 21) Fire. Ruling planet is the Sun. Top
This is a month for exploring many issues of self and other, Leo. You are finding
your way through no matter what. Enlightenment comes slowly as you patiently
forge new synaptic connections and break old habitual patterns of behavior
and relationship, revealing the mysteries of familial connection from the standpoint
of a new resolve. Whatever events may transpire, they are designed to bring
you closer to a better understanding of your unique path forward, the steps
that you and you alone must take to realize your dreams.
As the month begins, it finds you dwelling within the very core of your being
and looking out in many different directions simultaneously. This is a big
month for you, when your journey of self-discovery takes wing, and yet when
you remain grounded in the practicalities of life in the physical. You are
able to take a responsible attitude toward financial and other important resources
at this time, your basis of security, and you also might be feeling something
of a pinch in this area. You are in an extremely expansive space regarding
your unique path forward into the world around you, consistent with your high
ideals, and also consistent with compassionate partnering provided by others
in your life.
The First Quarter Moon of Wednesday the 5th is a testing time, when you will
be delving into the preoccupations of your family dynamics, and revisiting
as well old dysfunctional patterns of partnership interaction. You are finding
your own way forward in spite of these trials. You are in a fundamentally optimistic
place these days, allowing for bliss in your day-to-day work and seeking the
real meaning of your life in terms of service to your highest principles.
The Full Moon of the following week, taking place on Wednesday, November 12th,
presages a full flowering of the arc of development and internal self-revealing
that began the month, and a time of increased awareness of the impermanence
of any one solution. For the changes that you must make right now it is vital
that you stay firmly grounded in your emotional center as you go through them.
You might also become aware at this time that you are building for times to
come, allowing for the flexibility of new beginnings and yet maintaining connection
with the past as you construct the soul passage that connects you from this
present moment to your future self.
Over the last half of the month you are gathering your energies for a great
leap forward in renewed self-expression with the advent of the final Thanksgiving
Day weekend.
Virgo 
(August
22 - September 21) Earth. Ruling planet Mercury. Top
This is a month of transition for you, Virgo. Something big is coming into
your life and it could take on a variety of forms, from the slight to the majorly
consequential. You are feeling communicative inspiration with peers and colleagues
that may shed light on your eventual watershed moment that comes along sometime
between the middle and the end of the month. Preparing yourself for a rather
large shift may be a largely unconscious process but the distant roar of the
waterfall you are about to go over may be getting louder in your inner ear
over the first part of the month. As the end of the month holiday time draws
near, you are digging down to rise above, facing your demons in a new way,
transforming at the very core of your being.
As the month begins, you are feeling an unusual combination in your life of
expansion and contraction. Allowing for limitation has become routine, and
so has the strengthening effect of never being entirely disappointed. At this
time you are also tempted to wild flights of fancy, which you are able to mediate
with a grounded notion of what is in fact a sensible series of steps for you
to take. Still, in the midst of real-world concerns, unexpected information
from significant others could provide an impetus for new awareness of the true
multidimensionality of your situation. Communication with others around you
is the name of the game for you right now, and helps you to stay centered in
your own process.
The First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, November 5th, is a time of trial, when
you are engaged in finding your true path forward and when many of these ideas
might be tested for their viability. Communicating your deepest truth to others
is second nature at this time, and helps you to see further dimensions of your
world through the eyes of others, although there could also be tensions that
arise in the course of doing so.
The Full Moon that comes along a week later, taking place on Wednesday, November
12th, brings you to a point of relative balance, and also serves to emphasize
the essential idealism of your position and on what it will take to get you
into your next phase. As always through this period, you are also strongly
feeling the pull of gravity, bringing you back down to the rock bottom reality
of practical concerns. Partners are unpredictable right now, and may provide
a third force to lift you out of the impasse.
With the last ten days of the month, and especially after the Thanksgiving
Day New Moon that comes up on the 27th, you are entering a new world that takes
heart as well a mind into account.
Libra 
(September
22 - October 22) Air. Ruling planet Venus. Top
This is a month when you are being shown a way through to what you truly believe,
Libra. The inescapable conclusion is that the solution must involve incorporating
Spirit into your life as well as the more obvious manifestations of mundane
reality. Especially after the mid-month Full Moon, you are digging down into
your psychological roots to what really matters for you, and sorting through
the residue of past events to choose the gold that you will take with you into
the next phase. Epiphanies abound. You may have to stop wondering about what
to be when you grow up. After the iffiness of the Mercury retrograde period,
just passed, you are emerging into the sunlight during the latter part of this
month with a clearer idea of what you might become.
As the month begins you are feeling the potential change in your psychic weather
represented by the Scorpio New Moon from the closing days of October in your
sector of resources and values. This is a month that might shake you to your
very foundations, but to good purpose, as through this process you are accumulating
some important new ideas to live by. There is definitely a way that you are
finding the clues to your pathway forward "in the strangest of places" these
days, and also a way that you are depending on your spiritual center to guide
you through them. Your angel guides are available to you with increased access
right now. Their quiet message – which can also be termed the voice of
your imMutable Self, whispering in your ear – is the rudder and the stabilizing
keel right now of the sailboat of your higher purpose, and every tack and turn
you make bears witness to this influence.
At the time of the First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, November 5th, you might
find a few squalls in the way of your progress. You could even run into dysfunctional
patterns of behavior stemming from the long-dead past like the ghost of the
ancient mariner. If so they come to you for a reason; your best strategy is
to acknowledge and accept these under-valued parts of yourself and allow them
a place at the captain's table.
With the Full Moon of the following week, taking place on Wednesday, November
12th, your self-expression takes on a decidedly other-worldly appearance. You
might find a degree of relief from the contrasts of the mundane world, although
it may feel more like confusion or illusion than clear resolution. There are
good possibilities in this mid-month time frame for a higher plane synthesis
that serves to bring warring factions within you to a better sense of balance.
From here on, right through to the end of the month, your progress is based
on inner work, more powerful in the end than the outer, and on the abiding
well-springs of contentment and steady navigation.
Scorpio 
(October
23 - Nov 21) Water. Ruling planets Mars, Pluto. Top
This is a month for coming into yourself in a new way, Scorpio, in your birthday
time of the year. If you keep your inner eye attuned to the psychic currents
you might be able to seize the moment for reconfiguration and redefinition.
If not, the moment might seize you. You are getting serious about your future
right now and hopefully equally willing to shed the baggage of the past – if
indeed you have the courage to face down your demons and see them for the masqueraders
that they are. There is a tide as they say in your affairs that could conceivably
swamp your ship of state but that goes much better when you learn how to surf
it.
As the month begins, you are open to surprising insights and departures from
whatever you might consider to be any kind of norm. This is a powerful time
for you and a fresh take on self-definition right from the very start of the
month, or a few days before. You are powerfully pulled to expressive gestures
and also quietly serious about where you see yourself plugging into group energies
for a better vision of society; feeling the gears of the social network that
you subscribe to and testing the fit for your own unique contribution. You
are also well aware of how the reference point formed by your root psychological
core dynamic becomes the base and the fulcrum for the changes you wish to see
in the larger picture of the surrounding social matrix.
With the First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, November 5th, some cracks could begin
to emerge in the facade of where you see yourself going and why. Issues could
arise that temporally threaten your feelings of basic safety at this time.
Old patterns of behavior could arise at this important juncture that stem from
childhood woundings in the area of home and family and the foundations of security.
You might be ready to accept certain components of yourself in such a way that
a better integration between all your parts is possible, leading to healing
in an area that may have been holding you back from the fullest expression
of your energies.
At the time of the Full Moon that follows in the course of another week, taking
place on Wednesday, November 12th, you will come to a better understanding
of self and other, and of the deep intuitional center that transcends ordinary
interchanges along the surface. Any difficulties that come up for you at this
time could easily be a cause of confusion, as you are forced to take steps
that bring you through one more phase in a series of realizations regarding
your future path. It helps to remember that the universe is acting in your
best interest, always, even if it does not really seem so at the time.
The last weekend of the month, kicked off by the New Moon of November 27th,
Thanksgiving Day in the United States, could represent a powerful synthesis
and a fresh start in all these areas.
Sagittarius 
(Nov
22 - Dec 20) Fire. Ruling planet Jupiter. Top
You are caught up in a land of dreams this month, Sagittarius, but it leads
you to a starting shift by the time the holidays roll around. Surprising information
from your intuitional center will rock your world a lot or a little depending
on how well you have done your homework over the past seven years. Like the
butterfly emerging from its cocoon, you arise informed as well as transformed
by the intervening period of laying low. You may feel like you are descending
into chaos sometimes, over the stretch of this monthly cycle, but as a very
wise man once said – do not dwell on the chaos but await the birth.
As the month begins, you are riding the wave of deep inner process that was
spurred on by the Scorpio New Moon of late October. Although you are very focused
on outer achievement at this time, you are also finding that this depends very
much on inner work and how you understand yourself at the core. There is a
major Source within you that you can tap into at any time and it is calling
strongly to you in the present moment and throughout this current cycle. A
powerful awakening is possible, one that happens almost entirely on internal
levels at first but later with regard to your interactions with the world around
you as well.
At the time of the First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, November 5th, you are feeling
your way through layers and layers of unsteadiness that could translate into
communication setbacks with others around you. There are ways that healing
your connections with others right now depends very much on whether you perceive
their influence upon your life as an important part of your own inner journey
or else as a distraction from your spiritual agenda. In the end, this distinction
might prove to be more about perception than directly to do with anyone's specific
actions.
The Full Moon of the following week, taking place on Wednesday, November 12th,
fosters concepts of service and sacrifice that might help to bridge the gap.
Again you are very closely tuned to inner abilities and needs. You are most
concerned in all this with the path that best accords with your higher purpose,
the work that you set out to perform in this lifetime. There is a mix of outer
goal and inner intention that is really powerful for you right now, and that
works best when you release any expectations of what it is supposed to look
like.
The last ten days of the month, beginning on the 22nd when the Sun enters your
sign, are more dynamically outer-oriented. With the New Moon taking place on
Thursday, November 27th, Thanksgiving Day, and the weekend following, you are
blasting off in powerful new directions, but, somehow, recognizing in their
roadmap the footprints of the steps that you have been following all along.
Capricorn 
(Dec
21 - Jan 19) Earth. Ruling planet Saturn. Top
Your philosophy of life is a living breathing thing these days like a tree,
and equally capable of expansion and growth. You may well feel the need to
enlarge your thinking lately in the light of recent developments; there are
more shocks to the system and surprises in store for you still to come over
the course of this monthly cycle. The good news is that the first two weeks
of November represent the best chance that you have all year to visualize new
possibilities for yourself into being. This is of course the more you are able
to open to them.
As the month begins, you are probably feeling excited by the prospect of new
viewpoints coming into your ken. Information is your most important commodity
right now, and comes to you in fits and starts throughout the month. While
it may not always match your expectations, it will always be valuable and will
have the effect of expanding your horizons. Over these first few days you might
also find yourself visioning new future plans or joining up with like-minded
others who have as their goal the betterment of the surrounding society. Be
careful what you wish for at this time because you're likely to get it.
Up until the Full Moon of the 12th is the best time to make plans, with some
bumpiness to be expected around the middle of the first week as the First Quarter
Moon of Wednesday, November 5th lights up your sector of resources and values.
You could be feeling a bit queasy at this time, like with a sudden change of
depth or altitude. There are big changes coming your way over the next few
months, whether you are ready for them or not, and this time period could be
seen as a harbinger of that larger shift.
The Full Moon of the following week, taking place on Wednesday, November 12th,
is another important moment of recognition, when there could be a series of
surprising and relatively gentle shocks to the system that stretch your existing
boundaries like yoga for the soul, and when you could see changes in attitude
become the norm rather than the exception. There can be a confusing lack of
coherence in your financial picture as well at this time, which may also bring
new values to bear in learning how to deal well and even gracefully with uncertainty.
The last ten days of the month, especially after the Thanksgiving Day New Moon
of the 27th, help to cement recent changes and incline you toward inner rather
than outer work.
Aquarius 
(Jan
20 - Feb 18) Air. Ruling planets Uranus, Saturn. Top
New beginnings spur you on to powerful life changes right now, Aquarius. The
roller coaster reaches for a peak of success and picks up speed, but it is
still rising. This month represents lift-off in not only career initiatives
and your achievement orientation in general, but a fresh take on issues of
self and other. Legacy income may fluctuate and the resources that you have
at your disposal also, but the real lesson of this time lies within the depths
of soul-level commitment. For you it may truly be said that the way down and
the way up are one and the same.
As the month begins, you are focused on visible rather than interior achievement.
Being out in the world is huge for you right now, and so is getting a clearer
sense your commitment to the divine within. You might be feeling confused or
troubled these days with exactly how to put your best foot forward or where
your efforts are ultimately leading you. Partly as a result of these spiritual
conundrums, you are transforming at deep levels, and it is your core changes
that are leading you onwards and upwards in the pathways that your life is
leading you through.
With the First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, November 5th, you will perhaps encounter
a few bumps in the road of your progress. This is a time when you might be
more sensitive than usual to old and relatively dysfunctional patterns of behavior
that you are in the process of shedding. These could come up for you in this
mid-week period, and the temptation is to avoid the discomfort of the feelings
that they bring up for you. You may even habitually and unconsciously wall
off certain parts of yourself rather than acknowledge them. If any issues that
rise now are faced squarely, there may be rewards to be gained in terms of
greater self-acceptance and better integration of your more painful parts.
The Full Moon of the following week, taking place on Wednesday, November 12th,
might prove to be a powerful crux of time when anything is possible. All during
this month you are evaluating the impact upon you from intimate partners in
your life, and perhaps striving to find the right balance between overly depending
on others and finding your own basis for security.
This Full Moon week is a particularly important period when these issues may
again come to the fore and when you are empowered to more fully apply the healing
presence of your own inner spaces.
The last weekend of the month, beginning with the New Moon on Thursday, November
27th, Thanksgiving Day, is a good time to vision new possibilities for yourself
and to move toward a freer and more vibrantly alive future.
Pisces 
(Feb
19 - March 19) Water. Ruling planets Neptune, Jupiter. Top
This is a significant month for you, Pisces. Just when you thought you had
nothing left to prove, along comes the universe to make a way out of no way.
Suddenly, a new leap of faith surmounts hurdles that were previously barriers.
Doors open where once were walls. The funny thing is that you are still closed
in, in some ways more than ever. But the parameters of the situation have changed
and new openings bring new responsibilities along with them.
As the month begins you are feeling your way through to greater understanding.
This is an important period of time for you when many things in your life could
change and when you have the temptation to leave the moorings of the past and
strike off in entirely new directions. This is a time when you also may find
that you have to include some part of what you are attempting to abandon. You
are caught in the push-pull of these circumstances, the urge to blast of in
unique directions versus the equally strong desire to hold back with a conservative
sense of caution and limitation.
The First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, November 5th, finds you if anything even
more conflicted. You might feel like retreating into your own silence for a
few days while you mull things over. This is natural, and could help you to
recharge your batteries. Something within you is trying to break through right
now, like a butterfly freeing itself from the chrysalis, but the movement is
not complete, and may not be until after the end of the year.
With the Full Moon of the following week, taking place on Wednesday, November
12th, you are likely to feel the energy of the shift that is beginning to take
place inside you, and that seeks contact with others as a way of affirming
itself. You are learning many things right now if you can allow yourself to
access the store of knowledge at your disposal, and friends can definitely
help in this process.
An important shift could occur In the last ten days of the month, beginning
with the 22nd, and especially after the New Moon taking place on Thursday the
27th, Thanksgiving Day. Then you will start to actualize the information you
have gained in terms of real-world activity and significant transformation
that takes you into the new phase that is dawning.
Aires Taurus Gemini Cancer Leo Virgo Libra Scorpio Sagitt Capric Aquar Pisces Overview Top
Overview of the
Planets this month: Top
The
Astrology of November features Jupiter, Saturn
with Uranus, and Neptune. The Saturn – Uranus
opposition perfects on November 4th, Election
Day, and remains active throughout the month.
This opposition reflects the polarities of
our times, the holding back of the status quo
versus the push for new breakthrough. The configuration
was especially powerful and noticeable in our
lives at the end of last month, when it was
triggered by the Scorpio New Moon of October
28th that began this current cycle. Saturn
and Uranus represent archetypal energies that
are antithetical to each other in their manifestation
and that together represent the rebellious
will to smash existing icons and start over,
nearer to our ideal. Their moving into exact
alignment at the time of the election signals
how fraught with significance this election
and these times really are. Will the existing
hierarchy be swept away with the tides of change,
or will they hold their own and beat back the
progressive forces that threaten to swamp them?
Only time will tell.
The Taurus Full Moon of November 12th forms a Grand trine in Earth signs with
Jupiter and Saturn while the opposition from Uranus is also still strong in
its effects, so that this mid-month timeframe sounds a new note of cooperation
and working things out in the midst of angst. The Sun and Moon also square
numinous Neptune, while Saturn also draws near to an exact inconjunct aspect,
so that we might expect to see evidence at this time of high idealism and as
well the crashing of illusion, even the probability of deception revealed,
or else the grounded optimism of positive change built on a spiritual foundation.
All of these manifestations are possible at this fairly intense juncture.
The Sun and Moon at this Full Moon time also triggers once again the Saturn-Uranus
opposition by trine and sextile, still active, within one degree, though fading.
The Jupiter – Saturn trine configuration is a peaceful one, so that the
excitement of Uranian insight at this time tends toward cooperative solutions
rather than confrontation, a good sign in American politics after a hard-fought
election, whether the outcome be red or blue. Those born in middle to late
Cancer, from July 4th to July 18th, such as indeed the country itself, might
feel the effects most strongly as their Sun degree forms a Grand sextile at
the 20 degree mark of Earth and Water signs, with all six points illuminated.
On the 26th – one day before the Thanksgiving Day New Moon – Pluto
moves into Capricorn to stay for almost 16 years. Pluto into Capricorn, a potent
event that is happening for the first time since America was founded, and that
began last January, signals that the corporate power structure here in this
country and around the world will be subject to far-reaching changes over the
course of the next two decades. We are already seeing the beginning of what
will in all likelihood represent massive changes in our world. The Pluto – Uranus
square that is currently forming and that will peak in 2012 is another strong
indication that "the times they are a changin." As many have been
saying for years, ever since the Uranus – Pluto conjunction of the sixties
in fact, it is time for a new social paradigm that will work better for everyone
and not just for the few at the top of the economic pyramid. Who would have
thought a few years back that we would see a black man with a civil rights
perspective this close to the White House?
The New Moon accompanies a Sagittarius line-up that presages a relatively joyous
and expansive early holiday season, in spite of the economic turmoil still
gripping the nation, although it must also be said that with Uranus opposed
by Saturn and sextiled by Venus there could be sudden news at any time that
could continue to rock the boat. The Sun's ruler, Jupiter, is also in close
alignment with the numinous spiritual energy represented by Neptune in Aquarius,
which could be read as either high idealism coming to life or also the possibility
of deception in high places. There are ways that we would like the world to
be that might not be possible at this climactic juncture. We would all like
to mold world affairs closer to our hearts desire, in the direction of peace
on earth and a chicken in every pot, and the politicians are eager to assure
us that they will do just that. It may not be that simple, although the enormous
hope that is alive in this nation today is a very positive thing. Still, we
might want to reflect on the revolutionary refrain from the sixties that is
also ringing in our ears that come what may over the months ahead "we
won't be fooled again."
Current Moon Configurations
October 28th New Moon
This New Moon that began the current monthly cycle aspects Jupiter while Mars
nearby aspects both ends of the close Saturn – Uranus opposition that
perfects on November 4th, Election Day. Jupiter is coming to trine Saturn,
which is a good sign. Uranus opposite Saturn represents the revolutionary blend
of overthrow and rebellion, also the conservative reaction to that impulse.
We'll have to wait and see which factor wins out on the national stage, and
in our personal lives as well. After the completion early in November, there
are five more passes of the opposition still to come, the next two in 2009,
in February and September.
November 5th First Quarter Moon
This is a the traditional "crisis of action" when what we have planned
and begun to execute on over the past few days of the New Moon cycle comes
to grips with reality and must suffer and survive, or perish. In this Quarter
Moon, Pluto occupies the midpoint of the Sun-Moon square. To further accentuate
the slightly uncomfortable nature of the Sun-Moon square at this time, the
Moon conjuncts Chiron, and conjuncts the nodal axis exactly, while the Sun
squares it. Our destiny is therefore bound up with acknowledging our wounded
nature at this time.
November 12th Full Moon
This dynamic Full Moon forms a T-square to Neptune, while the Moon makes a
Grand trine with Jupiter and Saturn, and Uranus continues to oppose Saturn.
There is a gentle and optimistic tone to the proceedings right now, and a strong
sense of optimism. With Saturn and Neptune in aspect with each other, there
is also a strong sense of disillusionment that is in the air as well. We may
see our dreams begin to fray at the edges and suffer from being brought down
to the merely real, and we might also see a great rising up of the energy for
peaceful change.
November 19th Last Quarter Moon
This phase is traditionally the "crisis of consciousness" of the
lunation cycle from the time of the previous New Moon, when we become aware
of what we still need to do in order to get where we thought we were going
when we set out. In this case, the Sun and Moon aspect Pluto, just as Pluto
is about to enter Capricorn on the 26th. This powerful transit makes the New
Moon that follows and the Winter Solstice next month more important than usual.
November 27th New Moon
This Thanksgiving Day New Moon indicates a brave new beginning represented
by a Sagittarius line-up of Sun, Moon, Mercury and Mars, all within a few degrees
of each other, and activates Jupiter by semi-square aspect. Venus moves into
close aspect with Jupiter at this time also, and Pluto in Capricorn indicates
that the structure of things will be shifting as well. Jupiter still trines
Saturn, implying a relatively peaceful time, and triggers a close Saturn – Neptune
inconjunct that was described in the section on the Full Moon, so that these
details apply even more strongly as we head into the next cycle. The energy
of disappointment that could be symbolized by Saturn – Neptune is however
definitely ameliorated by the sense of optimism and expansion that the Jupiter
archetype symbolizes.
