Pluto is in Aquarius and the shift is palpable, as it’s in the sign of revolution, innovation and liberation. The unraveling of long held norms and structures is part of Pluto’s mission, and as you encounter challenging 3D experiences, hold a higher perspective, knowing that from a big picture perspective all is in Divine Order, as we are being pushed to evolve. 

I’ll keep reminding you to utilize your best spiritual and healing practices to support your well being. No matter what’s going on “out there,” your job is to handle what’s going on within YOU. Choose wisely who and what you allow into your orbit and attune to your inner guidance for direction, as we need you to be at your best for the Greater Good. 

The Sun is in upbeat Sagittarius, ready for action, inspiration and adventure. We’ll have an abundance of thoughts, info, and communication with the Sun and Mercury in Sagittarius, and Jupiter opposite Mercury amplifies your thoughts, words and actions even more, so you may be in a stream of consciousness mode of expression (lots of words). 

Consider what you’re saying, writing, posting and how you want to say it before you get into trouble inadvertently (Sagittarius can be blunt). The best of Sun/Mercury opposite Jupiter is big picture visions,  wisdom, bright ideas and inspired truth. How can you uplift others with your ideas and messages?  

Nov 22 – Venus sextile Saturn. This aspect promotes relationships that nurture your well being in practical ways, as well as offering commitment and stability. This speaks to who and what you value, as well as operating in your Authority (valuing and trusting your Self). Choose wisely who and what you devote energy to today, as less is more with quality over quantity.

Nov 25 – HYPERLINK “https://www.soullevelsolutions.com/free-mercrx-report-signup/”Mercury Stations Retrograde through Dec 15, bringing potential slowdowns and snafus related to travel, info, communications and scheduling during the holiday and shopping season in the U.S. 

This requires you to double-check details and document as much as possible in writing to help keep track of info – and get receipts for everything. Rushing is the fast track to problems; practice taking conscious actions.

Nov 25 – 27 – Grand Fire Trine: Sun Trine Mars in Leo and Sun Trine North Node (Destiny) in Aries.

Sun trine Mars in Aries. You may have the confidence and enthusiasm to act on something you feel passionate about. This can get you going.

Sun trine North Node in Aries. Your alignment with and attunement to your Self and your Truth move you toward your Destiny (Evolving Life Purpose). Yes to that! The ONLY thing you know for sure is what is true for YOU. Let that guide your direction.

Mercury is Retrograde, Mars has slowed (preparing to Retrograde on Dec 6) and the North Node is not fast so you may feel increased inner desire and drive, combined with external slo-mo that can heighten your focus or create frustration. The way you hold the energy will determine your experience. Patience is advised. Do what you can without pushing and move your body if you need to burn off excess energy.

Take actions that call to you, knowing you’ll have plenty of opportunities to review, revise, revamp during the Mercury and Mars Retrogrades. Consider this Grand Trine an opening where you can research, explore and conceptualize what is calling to you. Trust the messages you receive.

All week we are in the dark of the Moon, with the New Moon in Sagittarius on Nov 30 @ 10:21pm PST or Dec 1 @ 1:21am EST. This means the drive you experience earlier in the week is here to awaken something in you, to drop breadcrumbs and get your attention so you can take actions on the New Moon by making a plan or brainstorming. There’s such a mix of energies – the desire to act, with undertow, and the distortion of Pluto in Aquarius shifting your reference points so the landscape is morphing. It’s a nonlinear path where you have to surf the waves…

It’s hard to describe an experience like this week in advance, but you will move through it with intention and grace. Follow your inner cues, ask what needs to be brought to your awareness for your Highest Good. Then journal, or dream, meditate, walk in nature or whatever you do be receptive. Hone your Self-care and Self-awareness skills – they are not optional. 

Know that you are safe and here on purpose as part of the One Love to illuminate the world. Think of your friends, loved ones and connections – those who are aligned with you and who you can call on for support when needed – and ask if you need help. Then recognize the beautiful gifts you have to share with others when they need support, to hold space with compassion or offer a listening ear. Or maybe your presence is a healing for others, with your loving smile and kind heart.

A wise therapist friend in NYC said when I began my astrology work and was fearful and judging my ability, “Don’t mistake lack of experience for lack of talent.”  Brilliant words from Shelley E – and I have quoted her often to my clients. You learn by doing and practicing – and that’s how you develop skills. Is this your time to get in the game or come out of hiding?

 Shine your Light, lend a hand where you can. Together we are collectively creating our New World.

Get ready for movement that will revolutionize the world this week and it’s only the beginning, as the world we knew will morph in dramatic ways over the next six months. Your job is to practice impeccable Self-care, focus on your path and watch events from the witness perspective, knowing that deep restructuring is needed for our ultimate evolution, but it won’t be a linear path and sometimes it will challenge your ego (fears, beliefs, identity, security). Be bamboo (bend, don’t break) and be ready to ride the (air)waves…

Nov 15 – Saturn Stations Direct, indicating forward movement in slow, steady steps for the long term. You may be making practical decisions or plans regarding where you’ll direct your efforts over the next several months or in 2025. Mercury Retrograde (Nov 28-Dec 15) and Mars Retrograde (Dec 5-Feb 23, ’25) will give you plenty of opportunities to review, revise and revamp anything that is in process, allowing for course corrections and upgrades as needed.

With Saturn in Pisces you may feel like you can’t get a grip, like you’re drifting, or your old structures are dissolving (they probably are). If so, consider that you are in preparation for a new model of community that we’ll be building more than operating via the old solo methods. Be willing to surrender old structures that no longer fit and open to new, incoming paradigms that will reveal themselves to you. Uncertainty is the space in which to utilize spiritual practices to connect to your Inner Self, as you do the next right thing.

Nov 15 – Full Moon @ 24º Taurus – 1:28pm PDT. This Full Moon illuminates issues around security, comfort (Taurus), and power, transformation (Scorpio), pushes you (again) to face your shadow, cleanse and release that which is complete, outdated, holding you back or weighing you down. Dysfunctional Issues re: $$ and power are ripe for breakthroughs in relationships if you dare to get real and seek a solution. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, which is traversing it’s last four days in Capricorn, so needed endings are a prime feature of this lunation.

Uranus (The Great Awakener) conjunct the Taurus Moon can bring shocks, disruptions, unexpected reversals or revelations and it can also create sudden opportunities or realizations that allow for quantum leaps forward. Consider this a turning point, with Saturn Stationing Direct calling you forward and the Full Moon with Uranus activating change or liberating you from restrictions.

Venus in Capricorn is squaring the Nodes of Fate. This invites you to examine if claiming your Self-worth and Authority is in conflict with your current relationships. Are you compromising yourself in ways that diminish you – or are you so independent that nobody can really get close? See if you are entrenched in a role, identity or pattern that blocks your Evolving Self – or if you restrict yourself by what you invest your time and energy in, so that it interferes with your growth. What do you want?

Nov 16 – Sun opposite Uranus. Uranus is always seeking Authentic expression, independence and/or innovation. Where you feel trapped, stuck or bored, Uranus wants you to break out of the cage – and this can either be constructive (a healthy change) or destructive (wildly impulsive and risk-taking). If you won’t make a move, the Great Awakener will do it for you when it connects with your planets. This is a fab day to honor your Authentic Self by doing something that thrills, enlivens or excites you – and consider what you can do to put some spark in your life to inspire your mind and spirit and break up stale patterns.

Nov 18 – Mercury opposite Jupiter. This is the first of three oppositions (b/c of Mercury Retrograde), with the other two on Dec 4 and Dec 26, which may begin a story or a process for you. This is an optimistic duo that wants to explore, expand and grow, either by traveling to learn or via books, media, online. You may have big ideas and plans, idealistic conversations, brainstorms and visions, but be sure to include details if you want to create something real – and watch for what begins around this time for you.

Sun trine Neptune. This is a soft, mystical, dreamy experience that is beautiful for creative expression and appreciation, spiritual practices, intuitive pursuits, being in nature, leisure and tender connections. Go within to access your Inner Guidance, peace, refuge and profound rest as we bid Pluto in Capricorn a final farewell. It is over after today.

Nov 19 – Pluto in Aquarius. Finally Pluto leaves Capricorn to enter Aquarius until 2043. Aquarius is an air sign that rules groups, organizations, technology, innovation, freedom, equality, community and everything that flies through the air (electricity, space travel, air travel, the internet, etc), and AI. We will be engaging with Pluto in Aquarius details and talking about them as life unfolds for the next 20 years – and it will radically transform our world and how we connect with each other, just as Pluto does in every sign it moves through.

Issues around power, trust and transformation will be found in the arena of Aquarius, which is futuristic, so much will be created that we haven’t even imagined yet, as well as the darker side. Stay tuned… it will be interesting to be part of this unfolding story.

Nov 21 – Sun in Sagittarius. The Sun moves into fiery Sagittarius, ready for adventure, to expand and grow, to share beliefs and their truth. You may have the confidence to try something now that you wouldn’t have before, feeling more confident and inspired.

Sun sextile Pluto. The Sun is in Sagittarius and Pluto has just entered Aquarius for good. This is a productive combo, allowing access to your power and to feel empowered, as you focus on a project or a path. The intensity of Pluto gives you depth, stamina and determination, while the Sun in Sagittarius offers high ideals, conviction and the can-do enthusiasm that is so infectious (or zealous). This is a powerful day to take actions toward something you want to create or promote that speaks to a new day.

What a week we have in store. Major changes that we’ve had previews of before, but now it’s “go” time, meaning that Pluto will be in Aquarius for 20 years, changing our lives and changing the world. Start thinking about what more needs to go and what needs to change (incoming). Where you can take action?

Mercury Retrograde is right around the corner, starting in ten days (11/25). Do your shopping for major purchases now. Don’t panic. Stay in a neutral or high zone by using all your tools and connecting with positive people and input. Worry and fear lowers your frequency and immune system. EFT (google it) and meditation are helpful. Look for resources near you if you need help.

We need you to embrace your leadership in your neighborhood, your community, online, in your spiritual community or at work. This is no time to shrink or play small – this is what you’ve been preparing for, to support others who need your service, to gather, or who need a Lighthouse.

Consider this an invitation – I know you’re out there and some of you are already leaders, but others of you have been in hiding, flying under the radar. Time to come out! We need you now.

Shine your Light, lend a hand where you can. We are here to be part of the One Love that we know is possible. 

“The world doesn’t need more copy cats, parroting the same information and following the same life script. The world needs more rebels, innovators, fringe-dwellers and trailblazers who are challenging the status quo and living their own unique purpose. Stop trying to fit in. Dare to be the original masterpiece that you are.” ~ Christopher August

“ONLY in the quiet of our aloneness we will discover the strength we often doubt we possess.” ~ Michael Lutin

“Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, ask yourself if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future.” ~ Deepak Chopra 

As always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together.

The U.S. elections created results that will shift our country and our lives significantly. This thrills some, while others are processing feelings of shock, disappointment, sadness, fear and more… One thing is certain – we are a country divided at the moment, and that is our reality. 

The more you choose to widen back and learn to understand other perspectives, it will help to expand your emotional bandwidth and your world. Judging others and overreacting will keep you off-balance, in low frequencies and will take you out of your power, so focusing on finding your center should be a priority. 

If you have a healthy way to process unwanted feelings, great – and if not get help. Burying toxic feelings won’t serve your well being, nor will carrying them indefinitely; the goal is to feel through them so you are free to operate from your Authentic Self, with access to your natural creativity and genius. 

November is full of major shifts, with Saturn turning Direct on the Full SuperMoon in Taurus, followed by a Sun-Uranus opposition, Pluto entering Aquarius on Nov 19, Mercury turning Retrograde and Mars barely moving, about to Retrograde in early Dec. That’s a LOT of dynamic activity, so practice being your Zen Self. Utilize your best practices for Self-care to stay calm, grounded, balanced and connected to your heart, while trusting that All is in Divine Order (even when things don’t make sense to you).

Nov 8 – Mercury has entered its Retrograde Shadow – the territory it will retrace when it turns Retrograde on Nov 25, so anything you are dealing with from now until then, you will likely review and/or revise during the Retrograde period (thru Dec 15). Pay attention to the topics that are highlighted in your life during the next few weeks for clues.

Nov 9 – Venus square Neptune. Venus is in idealistic Sagittarius and Neptune is in dreamy Pisces. You may have selective vision (seeing only the good), which can lead to wishful decisions or unrealistic expectations (fantasyland), as well as disillusionment or disappointment. You can overdo it, wanting more of what feels good. Or you may feel drained, low vitality and not be able to show up as planned. You may want to numb your feelings with substances or activities that subdue your senses and undermine your efforts. 

Spiritual practices, soothing activities (forest bathing – or any kind of bathing), music, massage, rest, movies, creative pursuits, leisure or snuggling with a loved one or a pet – whatever feels nourishing for you – is perfect. Or you may be inspired to express your creativity, be of service or heal a heartwound, which is possible if you direct the energy via a higher expression. Trust what your intuition is calling for. 

Nov 11 thru Dec 7 – Venus in Capricorn. Your values and how you value yourself (love, $$, worthiness, creativity, relationships) are serious now, as you’re looking for what is real, what will last and commitments are serious. So what do you want? This is grounded, cautious and thoughtful energy – operating with integrity, ambition and an eye on the long term. Reality check; solid, grounded and no players need apply. 

Nov 11 – Sun inconjunct Chiron sextile Jupiter (Yod). This is a potential healing configuration, if you’re actively doing personal work to shift stuck energy related to what you think of your Self. This is a good day to focus on where you need support and tender loving care. 

Nov 12 – Mercury square Saturn. With Saturn, you’re serious about info, decisions, plans. You may not get what you want or have to wait for something you thought was happening now or soon. You may discover that you have conflicts with others, or have to face your own negative thought patterns (judgments) and then adjust in order to get along. Maybe it’s tedious, hard work that’s necessary. Just do it.

Disagreements, communication snafus and conflicts can arise – but the real opportunity is to examine your mindset for rigidity and how you communicate. Are you open to another point of view? Can you agree to disagree? It’s on the table, right before Mercury Retrograde (communication, the mind, thinking). And you may need to get rid of fluff and focus on what really matters in your own life – pare back, clear mental clutter, create space.

This week may feel like nothing is really happening, while there are powerful undercurrents at work, as Saturn (work) is at a standstill, preparing to turn Direct on Nov 15. It’s like being in suspended animation. At the same time, we are approaching a Full SuperMoon in Taurus on Nov 15 and every day as we get closer to the 15th, the emotional energy is heightened as the Moon becomes more Full, so lots of emotional energy with no real outlet until Friday at 1:28pm PDT when the Full Moon pops. 

The upcoming Full SuperMoon has Uranus (change) on the Moon, bringing an unexpected change, so prepare to be bamboo… bend, don’t break. I know this is all a tall order for those of you who want to keep living life the way you’ve always done it, but those days are coming to an end very soon as Pluto leaves Capricorn and enters Aquarius four days after the Full SuperMoon and Saturn Direct. More next week…

Keep in mind that Mercury Retrograde will officially begin on Nov 25 and will be active through the holiday shopping promotions (Black Friday, etc), so you may want to shop early to avoid mistakes and keep receipts no matter what. 

Your job right now is to discern what you need to heal, release, align and/or come to awareness about in order to find your balance, so you can function, one step at a time in our new reality. 

The call is to learn how to move forward in our polarized culture, willing to soften hard edges and open to new ideas that can allow us to connect, adjust, evolve and integrate. It may not happen today, or even soon, but I believe it is possible. If we stay entrenched forever, nothing changes.

We have to go high, handle reactive and judgmental behavior and think in terms of practical solutions. Everyone has to do their own work, whatever it is – and even if it’s hard, it is necessary.

We chose to be here now, to awaken and to help others awaken – that’s the mission as Lightworkers.

Shine your Light, lend a hand where you can. We are here to be part of the One Love that we know is possible.

As always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together.

Nov 1 – We open the month with a deep, emotional New Moon at 9º Scorpio @ 5:47am PDT, planting seeds of intention at this time of new beginnings. But we are emerging from a two-month Eclipse Wormhole (cosmic portal between realities) into a major finale, with Pluto at 29º Capricorn for its final sweep thru the sign of top-down Authority until Nov 19, when it will enter futuristic Aquarius for the next 20 years.

There’s an ending in some area of your life, preparing for a launch into the next leg of your journey. This may have already begun, you may have had inklings about it or you may be in the hallway (in between). Even when you’re in the dark, all is in Divine Order. Your ego isn’t running the show, especially with Pluto at 29º. 

The New Moon in passionate Scorpio rules issues around power, powerlessness and transformation (death and rebirth), deep emotional issues, what to release and what to maintain in your life. Watch for fear-based obsessive thinking that keeps you “in the bunker” and blinds you to your own power and soul mission. 

Examine your current perspectives and choices; allow decisions to be informed by your intuition, rather than limiting stories you hear or tell yourself. Scorpio feels deeply and its mission is empowerment, as it’s here to support you to transform lower energies into their higher expressions. This is the sign of the healer, the detective, the seer, those who are willing to go into the dark for buried treasure (what is real). 

There is a harmonious Grand Water Trine between Mercury, Mars and Neptune (in Scorpio, Cancer and Pisces), creating Wu Wei energy, flowing around obstacles and operating in harmony. Also, Neptune and Mercury sextile Pluto, making a kite pattern with the Grand Water Trine – and the focal point is the Mars-Pluto opposition, as it can initiate actions that go high or low. This allows for a breakthrough or an awakening insight if you are available for the work. Staying present and conscious with faith gives you the option to decide what you will do at any moment. 

With the co-Rulers of the New Moon in Scorpio in opposition to each other (Mars-Pluto), you will likely see power struggles, conflict, aggressive/reactive behavior in the world and personally, you may experience an inner struggle between your lower (fear-based) and Higher Self. You can choose inner exploration, healing and intentional actions directed toward what you want to create with clarity, focus and integrity for your life. 

Patience and grounding will pay off, as this can be highly effective energy – and you don’t have to take the bait by engaging with triggers. Your peace is a contribution to the collective and it counts. This is a reminder that distance will serve you well when tumultuous events occur – like a bird, flying overhead looking down from up high. Getting too close will pull you into the drama.

The New Moon in Scorpio trines Saturn, offering stability, boundaries and commitment to your Self, to a dream or the discipline to pursue a goal, one day at a time. Saturn is methodical and works for the long term, rather than an immediate payoff. When you make your New Moon Intentions, contemplate what you are ready to commit to that will propel you forward. 

It may be eliminating a behavior or habit and/or taking concrete action to pursue something you’ve avoided. You will know if you ask, go within, and are honest with yourself. Get the available support to actualize your vision if you need it. 

Jupiter sextile Chiron. This becomes exact on Nov 2, but it’s close enough to offer healing potential and shift any limiting beliefs you are holding. Make the most of the healing potential available. 

Nov 2 – Mercury sextile Pluto, Mercury trine Mars. There’s communication, insight or info that becomes available today to offer a release from the Mars-Pluto tension, which is helpful, even if it’s temporary. 

Later, Mercury leaves Scorpio to enter Sagittarius, the Truthteller. Mercury in Sagittarius is optimistic and idealistic, dedicated to truth, but it can be blunt, so watch for what is said and shared.

Nov 3 – Daylight Savings Time Ends. Clocks Fall Back. Multiple aspects today with various energies. I’ll break them down.

Mars opposite Pluto. Mars at 29º Cancer (sensitive) is protective if in conflict with heavy Pluto in Capricorn. This is the final exact opposition of this duo with Pluto in Capricorn, which is potential conflict – and is potent for healing work and breakthroughs. 

Venus opposite Jupiter. Indulgent, joyful, exuberant energy, when you get something desired, but there’s a danger of going overboard. Too optimistic? We’ll see…

Venus trine Chiron. There’s a potential for heart healing, a healing around values, a healing around Divine Feminine energy and beauty, which is not cosmetic, rather heart-centered = LOVE. What the world needs now, is love sweet love. 

Mars enters Leo until Jan 7. Mars is crawling, about to turn Retrograde on Dec 6, and in Leo is living out loud and it is proud, confident, wanting to be seen and noticed. Be mindful of violating your ethics to get attention – and watch for those behaviors in others. This will give you the confidence to take actions, so gut-check your choices, as whatever you begin, you will be reviewing and revising it in the coming months when Mars backtracks.

Nov 4 – Sun trine Saturn. This can give you the discipline to commit to a plan, a path or to create a realistic vision for what you want to create for your future. Saturn chooses methodical actions, step by step actions and with Saturn in Pisces, follow your dream. If it’s in your consciousness, it is meant for you, but you have to decide what is realistic for your circumstances at this time. You can stretch – with a plan, as wishing and hoping won’t cut it when Saturn’s involved. 

Nov 5 – Election Day. No major aspects. We’ll all be waiting to see what happens, even though the results won’t be available for days afterward, due to mail in voting (the regular process). 

The last few days of the week have no major aspects. Contemplate any endings you are experiencing and do the clean up work needed. That includes loosening your grip on old identities from the past and being available for the next chapter that is in process, whether you can see it or not. It’s coming…ot.

Shine your Light, lend a hand where you can. We are here to be part of the One Love that we know is possible. 

“Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. 

In order to be free, you must learn how to let go. 

Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. 

The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life.”  ~ Rev. Mary Manin Morrissey]

“To heal is to touch with love that which we previously touched with fear.” ~ Stephen Levine

“The journey in faith is not a sprint; it’s a very, very long walk. But the company is excellent.” ~ Molly Wolf

As always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together.
