November,
2004
November
is the powerhouse month every year as the Sun (everyone's current
consciousness) journeys in Scorpio until the 22nd. Sun in intense, magical,
passionate Scorpio offers the opportunity for you to decide which of
Scorpio's three symbols you wish to embody.
The scorpion is the most manipulative and exploitive expression of Scorpio.
The snake uses its power sometimes to manipulate for its own gain and
at other times to maximize the energy for all. And the phoenix/eagle
is the highest and most spiritual expression of Scorpio energy –
magic and transformation at its best.
Three planets change direction this month and two change signs. Uranus,
the planet of individuality and awakening, moves forward again on November
11, Saturn, the planet of structure and reality begins its 5 month tailspin
(retrograde cycle) and Mercury, the planet of communication and the
little planet with the giant reputation, retrogrades on November 30
until December 20.
Mars and Venus, the two relationship planets, both cycle into Scorpio
this month; Mars on the 11th and Venus on the 23rd. If you want more
intimacy in your relationships, this is the time to ask for it and then
stand back and watch the fireworks.
Aries (March 21-Apr. 19)
This is the time every year when your interactions with others intensify,
dear ram, as the Scorpio Sun travels in the part of your chart where
you merge your energies with others on every level – psychologically,
philosophically, intellectually, financially and sexually.
What adds to this powerhouse energy this year is the cycle of Mars,
your ruling planet also in intense, magical Scorpio after the 11th.
Be prepared for the urge to merge to continue as the Scorpio New Moon
on the 12th begs the question: What do you most want from your relationships
and what are you willing to invest to get it? Well, this is the time
to plant those seeds, oh pioneer of the zodiac.
And while you are always prepared in life to go it alone because others
usually can't keep up with your pace, you know that when you align
with others, it's much more exciting and fulfilling.
Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20)
Remember the story of Ferdinand the bull? All he wanted to do was sit
under the cork tree and smell the roses – until one day he sat
on a bumblebee and they thought he must be ferocious enough to fight
the bull in the ring in Madrid.
With the Scorpio Sun in your house of relationships, joined by Mars,
the planet of passion and desire in Scorpio on the 11th and the New
Moon in Scorpio on the 12th, you may feel like that bull who sat on
a bumblebee. Normally, you abhor confrontation, you peace-loving bull,
and it may seem that your relationships are egging you on – but
the truth is that underneath that desire for peace at any price your
soul wants greater intimacy and the only way to have greater intimacy
is to be willing to dance in the fire.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
As the adaptable, versatile and sometimes scattered and flighty air
sign of the zodiac, you’ve been wondering what hit you as life
has been fraught with power struggles lately, with Pluto, the planet
of power, dancing opposite your Sun in Gemini. And you've been learning
to surrender, haven't you?
With the Sun, Mars and the New Moon all in Scorpio on the 12th, it's
time for you to transform the day-to-day quality of your life. If this
intense energy seems to be taking its toll on your health and general
sense of well-being, look at what you eat, how much sleep you get, if
you exercise on a regular basis and decide to make changes in these
areas so that you create a vibrant, healthy mind/body/spirit.
Scorpio is the sign of transformation, magic, healing and regeneration.
So plant the seeds of renewal at this Scorpio New Moon because the Universe
always says YES!
Cancer (June 21-Jul. 22)
It’s not easy being you, you say, dear crab? There's no question
that you've had to be more disciplined and responsible for your
feelings and your emotional well-being. With Saturn, the planet of responsibility
and discipline, in Cancer since June, 2003, you've had quite a lesson
in self-parenting and self-nurturing – not to mention taking responsibility
for EVERYTHING you feel without making it someone's else's fault.
You know now, dear Moon child, that you're just as capable of abandoning
you as anyone else. With Saturn retrograding on the 8th, you'll
have one more opportunity to create those internal structures that truly
support who you are now.
Remember, a playpen is an appropriate, safe structure to protect a child,
but that same playpen is confining and restrictive to an adult. Saturn's
message is that you have what it takes to be your own mommy and daddy.
Leo (Jul. 23- Aug.22)
While you are normally gregarious, fun-loving and outgoing by nature,
you may be feeling more private, with-drawn, introspective and reflective,
with the Sun and Mars in Scorpio cycling in the house of your physical
and emotional foundations.
This is the time to entertain yourself in the privacy of your home and
celebrate the miracle of your inner life. It would be good to undertake
a project in your home so that you have a physical outlet for the intense,
powerful energy of Mars, the planet of desire and action, in Scorpio.
If there is friction at home or underlying tension, try to remember
when you felt similar energies as a child, because the 4th house is
also your past – and if you're willing to fearlessly face what
may be up with the courage of the lion, you will create an amazing present
out of that past.
Virgo (Aug 23 - Sept. 22)
What a ride you've had for the last year as you expanded on every
level possible, perhaps even your waistline? Mercury, your guardian
angel planet, leaves the focused, determined, penetrating Scorpio energy
and journeys into optimistic, exuberant, enthusiastic Sagittarius on
the 4th and then retrogrades on the 30th until December 20. The message
of Mercury in fiery Sagittarius is to lighten up on yourself, dear Virgo.
Quit being so anal about everything having to be just so. You can miss
the miracle of life if you're so focused on every little detail.
With all the Scorpio planets in your 3rd house of communication and
Mercury in philosophical Sagittarius, you'll find the words to see
the bigger picture and communicate with greater power, meaning and purpose
at the Full Moon in Gemini on the 26th.
Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22)
You're having a ball now, aren't you, oh lover of relationships,
teamwork and cooperation, with Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion,
traveling in your sign until October, 2005.
If you're cashing in now, it's because you deserve it. You're
reaping what you've sown over the last 12 years as it appears that
everyone is your raving fan. And with Venus, your guardian angel planet,
in Libra until the 22nd when she flows into powerful Scorpio, people
are coming out of the woodwork to support you in making your dreams
come true.
Yes, everything you touch can turn to gold because you believe it. Of
all the signs in the zodiac, you recognize the value and the gift in
all relationships and now's the time for you to reaffirm that every
match is made in heaven.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)
This is your month of rebirth, healing, regeneration and maximum intensity,
dear Scorpio. Whether you express the scorpion, snake or phoenix/eagle
energy of Scorpio is up to you to decide. And this November is particularly
powerful for you as Mars, your guardian angel planet of desire and action,
joins the Sun in Scorpio on the 11th.
Expect things to really heat up after the 11th as you become one with
your passion. And when you're focused on your heart's desire,
there's no one more focused, determined and relentless than you.
Passion is your middle name and Mars in your sign, which only occurs
every two years, just doubles the pleasure and doubles the fun. And
for those of us who love you, it's best to just get out of your
way.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec 21)
There's always the potential for lots of behind the scenes activity
in November, dear Archer, as the Scorpio planets flow in your 12th house
of dreams, inspiration, spirituality and your unconscious. And very
likely it will be easy for you to share what's going on as Mercury,
the planet of communication, cycles into your sign on the 2nd where
it will be until January 10, 2005, because of its retrograde journey
beginning on the 30th.
Wherever you need clarity and direction in your life, ask for answers
in your dreams, especially around the New Moon in Scorpio on the 12th,
because while the body sleeps the soul never does. And with Jupiter,
your guardian angel planet now in Libra, the sign of teamwork and cooperation,
people are coming out of nowhere to support you and your process.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)
While you usually know where you're going, your path up the mountain
may not be all that clear as Saturn, your ruling planet, begins its
5 month retrograde cycle on the 8th.
As the Lord of Karma backtracks in your partnership house, take a long
hard look at the quality of your relationships, both personal and business
and if they are pulling their weight. This is a great time to set boundaries
and ask for what you want. And be prepared that your partners will be
letting you know, in no uncertain terms, what they need from you.
In your career, which is most important to you, you may be ready for
a raise, a promotion, a new job or all three as Jupiter's expansive
energy traverses your 10th house. You're ready to step up and assume
greater responsibility and if you can't do it in your current job,
you may decide to look for a new one and a new and better job may find
you because you deserve it.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)
You may feel like you're waking up after a long sleep as Uranus,
your guardian angel planet of awakening, breakthrough and rebellion,
moves forward again on the 11th after its 5 month tailspin. It's
time for magic in your career this month as the Scorpio planets travel
in your 10th house. You feel a powerful sense of mission, especially
when Mars cycles into Scorpio on the 11th and the New Moon in Scorpio
occurs on the 12th.
You are the humanitarian of the zodiac and it's time to express
your uniqueness, originality and inventiveness in your job and move
beyond all restrictions and eliminate what's not working once Uranus
moves forward. There are numerous opportunities for powerful alliances
now with people where you can be of mutual benefit to each other.
Pisces (Feb. 19 - March )
With Uranus, the planet of awakening and originality moving forward
again in your sign on the 11th, your head may be spinning as you step
up to who you really are. You are in a creative re-awakening and are
coming into your own.
The dazzling planet Uranus puts you at the center of divine change which
may also feel like your own personal revolution so that you can discover
the real you. Reinvent yourself and revise your personal life itinerary.
More than ever before, you need to be you and do what you want to do
in your own unique way.
Normally gentle, compassionate and self-sacrificing, it will surprise
you how easy it will be to blast anyone or anything out of sight and
mind that prevents you from expressing your inventiveness and individuality.
And whatever you give up or lose will be replaced by a rare cosmic gift,
your independence – something to treasure forever.
