November opens with an introspective Sun/Mercury conjunction in Scorpio on the 4th that promises to shed light on an otherwise onerous and obtuse October.
Good time to take a long walk with a question or talk passionately to a journal, until a tiny dream-seed is secretly planted in the soil of our psyche.
If you’ve been facing challenges in the area of money and relationship, the sextile of Venus with Jupiter in Leo on November 4th offers a good opportunity to “begin again” and turn your attention back to what brings you joy.
Great time to get a Relationship Reading: my specialty.
There. Now you’ve got a running start to carry your through the continuing Mercury/Venus retrograde (both over on the 13th) and the embattled fallout of the November 3rd midterm elections in the U.S.
Of particular interest:
Nov 9th New Moon in Scorpio
This powder keg Sun/Moon conjunction in Scorpio is square militant Mars.
Acts of war and/or angry protests about real or imagined manipulation of the election results are likely now, culminating around November 15th when the Sun squares the conjunction of Mars, Jupiter and the South Node.
Thankfully, this transit also has a bright side:
Mars/Jupiter/South node in Leo says,
It’s time to shake off the heavy self-involvement of October and give back to others in more gutsy, pioneering ways to keep the flow of abundance moving.
Venus and Mercury go Direct
Mercury and Venus both go direct on Nov 13th. So while the world boils, individual projects slowly begin to move forward and communication becomes less fraught in the second half of the month. Best to let Mercury and Venus build up some momentum before making any big moves. My vote: the full moon in Gemini.
Full Moon in Gemini
On November 24th, we have the Full Moon in Gemini, conjunct Uranus. Yes, the nervous system may be a bit wired and there may be some tech issues but it’s a small price to pay for a green light from the Gods regarding travel, communication and the launching of projects. We now have the energy and vision to act. Not sure which direction to move? Mars in Virgo knows.
Mystic in the Matrix
On November 25th Mars moves out of Leo into the sign of Virgo where it will stay until Feb 21st. Perhaps you can feel Virgo approaching. Outer drive is turning into step-by-step skill-building and surgical problem-solving. This is especially true the closer we get to the Mars Retrograde from Jan 10th to Feb 21st.
Daily routines of service to others are not trivial, says Virgo; they break down blinding existential chaos into bite-size pieces and make the mystery manageable. Now you know why Virgo is sometimes called “the mystic in the matrix.”
Yes, but A.I is taking more and more jobs away from us. How will we manage without Virgo’s grounding routines?
Homo Luminous
It’s true that human beings seem to be built to find meaning through disciplined, skill-perfecting service. But consider this:
What if we chose to be born during a time when A.I. relieves people of more and more menial, task-born purposes so we could focus 9 to 5 on becoming Homo Luminous: disciplined masters of meditative relating and cracking the code of personality through targeted self-inquiry and soul-seeing skills?
Rather than agreeing or disagreeing with this wildly optimistic statement ask yourself,
Would I be honored to live in such a world?
If so, perhaps Scorpio wants us to honor ourself by stepping into this world now– regardless of whether or not it awaits us in the future.
Perhaps “the purposeful eclipse of purpose” is exactly what this feverishly retrograde Scorpio season is attempting to stir?
If so, stocking our pantry with soul-seeing skills now, before the Virgo reset comes to a climax, may be the most strategic “prepper” step we could take.
