Nov 6 – 12

Equity & Equality

What to expect: Push for fairness
What to watch out for: Injustice and inequality
What will it affect? Work, beliefs, change

The balance may be upset in the world of work at the beginning of this week as Vesta opposes Uranus on Nov 7th. Vesta is in Libra and is interested in partnerships and equality. As she opposes Uranus we can expect for some sort of rebellion seeks fairness in work. Maybe it’s that women will ask again for equal pay or equal treatment to men. Perhaps the harassment disclosures in Hollywood will spark a movement for amends and improvements in all workplaces that seek to correct the imbalance.

Saturn in Sagittarius, will sextile Vesta and will help to ground new thinking and attitudes in the workplace. Work towards new policies or legislation spurred on by these new attitudes will likely make the news.

R.E.S.P.E.C.T

What to expect: Relationship Transformation
What to watch out for: Running from sharing
What will it affect? Relationships, partnerships, shared resources

We have some help in our relationships this week. Juno and Pluto are coming together in a conjunction on Nov 11th. As they move closer, the Sun will send a beam of light, shining from the Scorpionic depths to both of them. Juno and Pluto are in Capricorn bringing up the issue of commitment and long-term partnerships. It’s also is bringing up respect and respect issues within our relationships. As they come together, the energy of Pluto wants to transform these issues. The energy of the Sun in Scorpio joins hands with Pluto to unearth the issues that lie beneath.

Venus is opposite Pallas in the middle of all of this, so a conflict may arise throws our head and intellect into conflict with our heart and values. Venus is in Scorpio and is aching for intimacy. If she doesn’t get it, she may through caution to the wind and seek it out in other ways.

Open to Change

What to expect: Changing beliefs
What to watch out for: Resistance
What will it affect? Beliefs, ideologies

By the weekend Saturn will trine Uranus. Saturn is coming to the end of his time in Sagittarius. Sagittarius can be committed to an ideology on one end and just plan dogmatic on the other. While Saturn has been in Sagittarius it has been testing our beliefs. It’s been difficult to open up to new ideas and to accept that we may not know everything or that we may have even been wrong. But there is no better time than now to check in with those beliefs. Are they false beliefs? Do they drive us to hurt ourselves or worse, hurt others? Taking responsibility for our incorrect perceptions opens the door to changing our behaviour. We are open to change as Uranus gives us that “break-free” energy.

If you have any breakthrough or leading edge ideas, now is a good time to share them. Not everyone will be onboard, the Sun will square the Nodes, and some will move forward with us embracing change. Others will need a bit more work on themselves before they can open allow themselves to follow that path.

Surprising Beliefs

What to expect: Contradictions in our relationships
What to watch out for: Fear of change
What will it affect? Relationships, beliefs, strategy

At the start of the week on Oct 30th, Venus makes a sextile to the north node helping us to move in the right direction with both our finances and our relationships. Jupiter is now in Scorpio and has a focus for the next year on expanding all things Scorpio. Taxes, secrets, sex, share resources are now areas that will see expansion. As Jupiter moves further into Scorpio is opposes Pallas on Oct 31st. This bringing up conflict in our belief system. Pallas in Taurus has a lot of practical wisdom and common sense, but do we practicing what we preach? Is what’s good for the goose also good for the gander? There may be a surprising belief around the issues that Jupiter in Scorpio has brought up, that you didn’t know you had. Venus will conjunct Vesta on Nov 1st, and the energy allows us to work well with each other. Now is a great time for negotiations or mediations. We’ll have a social grace to our interactions and can draw on a creativity that can help us move through any conflict.

Collective Healing

What to expect: Healing
What to watch out for: Overwhelm
What will it affect? Collective wounds, personal healing

This week Saturn and Chiron make their last square to each other. These two have been squaring since late last year and as they have done so, they have brought up collective wounds and the need to break free from abuses. Saturn is in Sagittarius and has been assessing the integrity of travel, laws, media, religion and belief systems. Chiron is in Pisces being a teacher and healer in the realm of water, shipping, fishing, oil, drugs, advertising and sales, mysteries, hidden knowledge, films, and photography. At the first square, we saw the water protectors, defending water. At the second pass, we saw challenges to the travel industry as a passenger was dragged off a United plane, and we also saw fact-checking measures to address fake news. And now at the third pass, we are seeing the #metoo phenomena bringing awareness and healing originating in the film industry and flowing out to all.

How do we really feel about all of this? And how does it affect us personally? This is a time for personal development as Mercury will trine Chiron on Nov 1st and will help us to delve into our thinking. Talking it out, journaling and/or meditation will help us to go inside and aid healing.

Full Moon in Taurus

What to expect: Culmination
What to watch out for: Inflexibility
What will it affect? Relationships, inner fears, money

The full moon is on November 3rd in Taurus. We have a strong emotional need for stability and routine and prefer to stay away from change. The moon is very comfortable in the sign of Taurus but opposite the Sun in Scorpio may feel pushed into inner depths which may be calling for change. Both are square to Ceres bringing up inner child fears and neediness. The good thing is that the Full Moon also makes a positive aspect to Neptune and our intuition will be strong. We can use this Full Moon to follow our hunches.

The Taurus Full Moon is ruled by Venus and Venus makes some interesting aspects at the Full Moon. Venus is also opposite Uranus, making our money and relationships unpredictable. But she is also sextile Saturn helping us to be practical in our relationship and with our money. So though we may face some surprises, we can approach them in a practical manner. Looking at accounting, budgeting or other financial concerns with openness can lead to surprising breakthroughs. The same goes for our relationships. So though we may feel that Taurus discomfort with change, the best way to approach it is to not hold on too tight.

Different approaches to saying the same thing!

What to expect: Help with communication
What to watch out for: Lack of understanding
What will it affect? Relationships, women’s issues, relationship issues, spirituality

This week starts with Venus square Juno. Venus is in Libra, its home, and favour. She’s all about love and in Libra she love’s with gestures of peace such as apologies, balance such as negotiation and compromise and pleasure with dance and music. She squares off with Juno, the marriage asteroid in the austere sign of Capricorn who is bound up in tradition, “what is right”. Libra wants it to be fair, Juno wants it to be right and though they may want the same things, a clash ensues.

Fortunately, by Oct 24th, a mediator shows up and a dialogue is aided by Neptune. Neptune is the higher octave of Venus. Neither feminine nor masculine, dichotomies disappear with Neptune. Neptune in the positive is the angel of spirit and unconditional love. Neptune is sextile to Juno and is softening and getting through to her. As Neptune connects with Juno with sympathy and acceptance, Juno in Capricorn begins to see the point.

Really it’s the feedback from Mercury, now in Scorpio that inspires Neptune and opens Juno to this positive relationship discussion. Mercury in Scorpio provides the truth and Neptune translate with something inspiring. Sometimes you can’t find the words to get your point across. Sometimes words are just too harsh. But a song, poem, video and inspirational quote will get to the heart of it without offending.

Powerful Messages

What to expect: Strong communication
What to watch out for: Backlash
What will it affect? Power, communication

The Sun and Jupiter meet up in Scorpio on Oct 26th taking us into the deeper mysteries of Jupiter in Scorpio. Jupiter in Scorpio delves into secrets, sex, taxes, death. So far Jupiter in Scorpio has held to its promise exposing sexual abuse and manipulation; sparking #metoo, and other campaigns in response that has drawn us into our intimate world of betrayal and trust. As the Sun moves into Scorpio and joins with Jupiter we explore our identity within this discourse. Who are we really? How have these experiences defined us or not defined us? How do our egos respond?

By the 27th Venus moves into a square with Pluto sparking power imbalances within relationships. The backlash to the strengthening voices of the disempowered may also appear. Luckily Mercury will also sextile Pluto, so we’ll easily be able to see through whatever is said. If we have something to say, this will also be a good time to say it. If you have a message that the world needs to hear, now is the time. Words will be goosebump worthy.

Revising our Communication Strategy

What to expect: Moving forward
What to watch out for: changes to communication
What will it affect? Communication, strategy, work, direction

By Oct 28/29th we may see our work moving forward. We’ve grasped a certain amount of balance in line with our work and our vision and feel the ease of forwarding movement. As we start that forward movement, however, we do hit a hitch. Our ethic and ambitions may clash. We may feel compelled to drive towards the truth, but our sense of security obscures the picture. Do we stick our neck out and risk our safety? Do we hold our secrets out of a sense of common sense? And does doing so mean we lose ourselves and our purpose? Mercury will square the North Node and marks a great time when we can revise our communication strategy. If we need to switch up our message, now is the time.
