NOVEMBER HOROSCOPE
Astrology by Juan Marco Torres
November marks the closing of various cycles, and with that we experience the wonderful power of transformation. We have undergone a serious period of introspection, taking a deep dive inwards and shining light on all of our shadows. This has been an inside-out process of important revelations that have lit our path, guiding us towards our true purposes and most pure intentions. This month we get to do one final let- go, and we get ready for the serious forward motion that characterizes the year’s end.
Starting the month we bring in the electric energies of Halloween’s Blue Moon at 8° Taurus. This Full Moon was exactly conjunct Uranus,the Great Awakener, while creating a lovely bridge to the Sun in Scorpio. We begin November with a series of awakenings. Secrets come to light, and old beliefs are dissolved – creating space within us for the important downloads we are receiving. The Taurus-Scorpio axis asks us to step out of comfort zones, and to surrender to the process of transformation that promises exciting new beginnings.
The Sun in Scorpio continues its journey through the via combusta, or “the path of fire” – the degrees between Libra and Scorpio known for intense and combustible energies. The cosmos here begins to take off the reins a bit on the 3rd as Mercury stations go direct at 25° Libra, bringing to a close the third and final retrograde of the year. The past three weeks have been nothing but an emotional roller-coaster, but we have gathered the emotional clarity we needed. This releasing shift allows us to open our hearts, and trust in our transformative process. The via combusta burns away anything that no longer serves us.
The 12th is a huge day to say the least. The third and final conjunction between Jupiter and Pluto takes place on the World Point at 22° Capricorn. This marks the beginning of a new thirteen-year cycle, and the final chapter of the stories happening on April 4th and June 30th when the last two conjunctions took place. While Jupiter’s energy is expansive, Pluto’s is destructive – especially of things that hold back against the evolution of humanity. We can expect part three of the massive structural shift happening on Earth, as well as a new social order to be put in place. Personally, it is important to detach from any expectation during this time. We are invityed to hold on to our higher wisdom and surrender, trusting that whatever unfolds is happening for the greater good of All.
The forward motion intensifies the next day on the 13th as Mars finally ends his long retrograde journey, stationing to go direct at 15° Aries. Since June, Mars has shifted our attention inwards, where it has pushed us to arm ourselves with wisdom en face of any challenges we might be facing. Now, Mars’ direct motion will have us retracing our steps. The story ends in January 2021 when the planet leaves its shadow. During the coming months, we are invited to begin using our new capacity to direct our thoughts towards right action.
Buckle up for the second half of the month. On the 15th, we have a Super New Moon taking place at 23° Scorpio, opening up a new wormhole passage ahead of the Lunar Eclipse later on. Space and time begin to bend, and sideway elevators begin to appear in our lives – taking on us on an express ride into the future. The New Moon forms wonderful sextiles with Jupiter and Pluto, making strength and power available to us even through the most uncomfortable and chaotic times. We must remember we can always reach the light at the end of a tunnel when we let ourselves be led by our intution.
The Sun ingresses Sagitarrius on the 21st. The energy shift from Scorpio to Sagittarius is usually very significant, and we feel a serious change within our consciousness. On the same day, Venus goes into Scorpio, marking the beginning of our heart’s transmutative process.
We reach the end of an eventful and grounding month with more clarity, as Neptune stations to go direct at 18° Pisces. Neptune is at its home in Pisces, and rules illusions, faith, and enlightment. Once in direct motion, the planet has the power to lift all veils, to clear the fog of any deception and to bring us back from the deep spots in our subconscious where we were still clinging to any illusions. Things start to get more and more clear as the days go on, and we continue to move through an increasing sense of empathy and collaboration among one another.
On the 30th, a triumphal end to the month takes place with a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at 8° Gemini. Whenever a lunar eclipse happens, we can expect nothing but internal transformations – massive shifts that call for a brand new awakening, from within. This eclipse pushes to expand our minds into new directions that we have yet to explore. Gemini sees the harsh contrast and duality in everything, but is able to syntheize into a new, third option that finds the harmony and union behind anything.
As a wild 2020 comes to a close, we reach a serious climax of energies that have the capacity to take us anywhere. We must remember that the choice for our responses is always within ourselves to make. As little as it may seem, each thought has the power to shape our reality. It is essential to mantain our equanimity during this time, choosing to see and act from our higher selves and from our Heart. After all the important relevations and awakenings that we have experienced, we realize our power, and that we still have a long way to go to rebuild our world. Our mission has finally been unveiled.
