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.
