Astrological Forecast for November 2021

November has the signs of Scorpio and Taurus taking center stage.

The Mercury retrograde period we just experienced at the end of September through the third week of October in Libra, is now moving out of its shadow on November 2^nd as Mercury will be at 25 degrees, the degree it started its retrograde period on September 27, 2021.

Full steam ahead says Mercury. During this last Mercury retrograde period in Libra, it was about balancing our relationship needs and a stuck federal government body that cannot seem to find closure with the new infrastructure bill.

You may have felt like you wanted to change and re-arrange your relationships and now you are ready to move forward with more healthy relationships.

Scorpio rules the eighth house of monetary loss or debt from borrowing money with the only gains coming from a partner who is better off financially or an inheritance.

Taurus rules the second house of daily financial gains. What we value in the material world and how we value ourselves.

On November 4^th, the new Moon in Scorpio at 12 degrees (5:15PM EDT) shows tensions building with 4 T-Squares as the Sun, Moon, Mars, and Mercury still in Libra square to Saturn in Aquarius and opposing Uranus in Taurus.

These are fixed T-Square signs. Stubborn when it comes to change but steadfast when it comes to focus. The missing leg in the T-Square is the sign of Leo. Seek advice from friends and family who are born under the sign of Leo or have Moon, rising or planets in Leo.

Scorpio can be intense. The positive aspect of Scorpio is their ability to stick with life when it gets rough as they transform whatever they are going through into a more evolutionary situation. They love to research any topic and are interested in the hidden realms of life as they are born with strong intuition.

With both Sun and Mars involved, the less than positive qualities, all signs have a positive and negative side to them, can manifest such as jealousy, suspicion, insecurity, and vindictiveness.

T-squares are pressure cookers. Something is boiling beneath the surface and eventually it will come out. Mars can be rash with its expression so those with Sun, Moon, rising or planets in Scorpio may be finding themselves exploding like a volcano that has been building up pressure for some time and it most likely is financial pressures as Uranus opposes the new Moon in the money sign of Taurus.

Both Taurus and Scorpio, opposite signs, are trying to find balance in their financial lives. We have seen economic decline, even though it’s not showing itself in the numbers of unemployed and Wall Street, we are seeing goods and services stuck on ships that cannot dock the goods as truck drivers are not available to deliver.

We are seeing a decrease in workers for child daycare centers, company workers going on strikes, airlines having to cancel some flights, a federal government Democratic body that seems to be taken over by two members when it comes to helping those who really need the help, no sign of any new stimulus which I thought would be happening for the holiday season and gasoline prices going up.

Families are tense this month and not spending much money in fear that they will not be able to meet everyday basic expenses. President Biden seems to be relaxed about it but the new Moon in Scorpio with a full Moon lunar eclipse in Taurus is about to wake him up as his Sun in his birth chart is at 27 degrees of Scorpio.

President Biden has Sun, Venus, Mercury, and Mars all in Scorpio. His Moon is in Taurus at zero degrees with part of fortune at 6 degrees of Taurus. His rising sign is Sagittarius.

With so much pressure cooking, the T-squares in both new Moon and full Moon charts this month, President Biden is about to be tested in the month of November.

Either he is going to get aggressive for the people of his party and the Americans who voted him in so his rating will go up or he will continue to kneel to just two of the Democratic congress members that do not really want to listen to the progressive ideas to make them a reality and his ratings will continue to decline.

This combination of planets clearly shows that even while they finalize a deal for the infrastructure bill, the rest of America is falling apart economically and the lack of attentions on all the issues that I mentioned earlier will be what Americans are more concerned about with a holiday season here.

As Mercury moves into the sign of Scorpio on November 5^th, a day after the new Moon, those with Sun, Moon, rising or planets in Scorpio are ready to start thinking about their financial life and the new directions they want to take with it.

Venus moves into Capricorn on November 5^th and the sign of Capricorn will be able to attract more abundance and good charm till March 6, 2022. Why is Venus taking so long to move through the sign of Capricorn?

Venus will station retrograde on December 19, 2021, at 26 degrees of Capricorn. This prolongs its normal stay in a sign. Normally it takes a few weeks for Venus to move into a new sign, but the retrograde period starts in the later degrees of Capricorn, and this prolongs the stay by several weeks.

If you have Sun, Moon, rising or planets in Capricorn you will be experiencing inner dialogue about what you really enjoy in life. A bit more stressful about your money situations so you may be more conservative with your spending habits and your love life may be put on hold while you look for answers to questions that have been on your mind for awhile regarding how you value relationships and if you are being valued by all your relationships.

Daylight Savings ends on November 7^th starting early in the morning (2:00AM). Fall back and get that extra hour of sleep. I can hear the water and earth signs cheering. Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces are ready for that extra hour of being under the blankets and just enjoying a deep rest without complications.

The full Moon lunar eclipse in Taurus at 27 degrees (3:57AM EST) is on November 19th. This is not a total eclipse but still has more intense energy than a normal full Moon.

Again, this full Moon like the new Moon finds itself with a few T-Squares continuing tensions but the good news is Jupiter is at the center of the T-squares rather than Saturn.

If you have Sun, Moon, rising or planets in Taurus you are expanding (Jupiter) your physical world with purchasing power you may not have had at for the fist half of November. Be careful not to overspend and this is that perfect time to balance the check book and see what needs to be eliminated from your monthly expenses.

With both Sun and Mercury trine to the MC as well as Neptune, we have a Grand Trine in the water signs. Trines can be more relaxing with the wind blowing at your back. If you are born under the signs of Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces or Taurus, your employment will get better.

If you are not working you will find work or if you are not enjoying your work environment something may change between November 19^th and December 4^th such as a raise or a boss that you don’t enjoy decides to leave or get fired so you feel so much better going to work.

President Biden birthday is November 20, 2021, and he turns 79 years old. The full Moon eclipse creates an exact opposition to his natal Sun at 27 degrees. Eclipse energy can last up to six months. Talk about having his mind on the economy. I wish him a Happy Birthday.

It is on November 11, 2021, that transiting Pluto will make its last conjunction with progressed South Node that has been causing all kinds of purification issues for the year 2021. Remember, we started off this year with the most deaths from covid in January of 2021.

We could see a return to larger numbers of covid cases around the world in November. China and U.K. are experiencing an increase.

The Sun moves into Sagittarius on November 21^st. Happy Birthday to those born under this outgoing positive sign.

Mercury moves into Sagittarius on November 24^th giving those with Sun, Moon, rising or planets in Sagittarius thoughts that run positive. Shooting for the stars and making new plans for the holiday season. Maybe its going back to school as Sagittarian’s love knowledge and cannot get enough of any subject.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone on November 25^th. This should be a much better time with family and friends than last year.

Transiting Pluto conjunct, the progressed South Node of the U.S.A chart will be potent from November 11^th till December 11^th. The last conjunction brought massive hurricane flooding to purify several states from whatever karma was hanging around.

We have seen an increase in earthquakes, volcano eruptions, political fallouts, and floods/mudslides on the increase. We also had a massive oil spill on the West Coast.

Let us see what this new manifestation brings. It is a financial eruption as Pluto is moving through U.S.A.’s second house. And 2022 is Pluto returning to itself in the U.S.A chart.

Remember what Pluto represents. Anything hidden and underground. Pluto takes around 248 years to return to itself. That is almost the time America gained its independence.

Returns reflect what we have gone through over the last 248 years. I will talk more about this in the New Year and give specific issues we will be seeing coming to the surface as the secrets of Pluto can no longer remain in secret in 2022 and 2023.

For now, enjoy November’s crisp wind that helps us to breath better and know that regardless of the way the wind blows, planetary movements, the cinema screen always remains the same. It never changes. The movie may change but the cinema screen will always be there for us.
