Astrological Forecast for November 2023

November is here with our wonderful Daylight Savings starting early in the morning on November 5^th. Fall back before you go to bed.

Saturn stations direct on November 4^th and God knows we need the lord of time and space on our side to build new things after Scorpio has blown up so much real estate around the world.

Saturn will station direct at zero degrees of Pisces. Saturn is trying to leave the sign of Aquarius so if you have Sun, Moon, rising or planets in the sign of Aquarius, you are finishing up any issues in your work and personal life that you’ve been dealing with over the last two and a half years when Saturn first entered Aquarius.

On the other hand, Pisces are ready to build a new life. Those dreams that Pisces has kept on the shelf that have collected dust and mildew are ready to be brushed off. It’s your time Pisces to put your best foot forward and let go of any wounds that have been inflicted on yourself from others and your own undoing.

The water signs are the most addictive signs in the Zodiac. If you have the Sun, Moon, rising or planets in Pisces, you are ready to let go of carrying that cross around. Your affirmation over the next two and a half years is, “I LET GO FO THE OLD AND EMBRACE ALL THE WONDERFUL NEW THE UNIVERSE HAS FOR ME.”

Spiritual practices can bring great benefits to Pisces also with this combination. Settling down deeper in meditations and giving yourself a break sometimes with a massage therapist.

Venus is moving into Libra on November 8^th where it feels comfortable. If you have the Sun, Moon, rising or planets in Libra, you will attract abundance and joy into your life till December 4^th, 2023. Ask for that raise and if you are single you may fall in love during this time. Creative energies will be high so write that song, paint, sculpture or take up photography classes.

Happy Veterans Day to all our blessed soldiers on November 11^th.

New Moon in Scorpio on November 13^th at 20 degrees (4:27AM EDT). This chart is loaded with Scorpio energy. Five planets in water and five fixed quality is a Scorpio signature. New Moon’s are starting something new.

If you have Sun, Moon, rising or planets in Scorpio, you are starting a whole new life. Scorpio is the renovator of the Zodiac and at times they want to change things around. This is the ideal time to do it. Maybe your home needs a whole fresh look, or your business office needs a new painting.

The world is at war and hopefully by this new Moon the direction of the wars takes a better turn. It looks like it could with three grand trines in water signs in this new Moon chart adding a relaxed feeling in the mist of so much stress in the world.

Since the Sun, Moon and Mars in Scorpio, all conjunct, involved in the grand trine with Neptune in Pisces and all this pointing to the MC, the world wants to reach a higher human level of behavior. A compromise may be in the making. Let’s pray and meditate in silence to add more peace for the world.

On the dark side of the Moon in this new Moon chart is a T-square with Pluto in Capricorn square to the rising sign of Libra and the rising sign square to the MC in Cancer.

The good news is the missing leg of the T-square is 21 degrees of Aries and the North Node will be at 23 degrees getting ready to fill in the T-square by the end of December. This is good news as it indicates balance (filled in T-Square) of a war Aries and Scorpio energy. November 13^th offers this opportunity to complete itself by the full Moon in Gemini on November 27^th. More on that later in this column.

The Sun moves into the happy go luck sign of Sagittarius on November 22^nd, a day before Thanksgiving.

Happy birthday to those born under the sign of Sagittarius and Happy Thanksgiving.

Mars moves into Sagittarius on the 24^th which is more positive to calm down international tensions since Mars was in the passionate sign of Scorpio over the last couple of months combined with so much Scorpio energy.

Sagittarius takes over where Scorpio left off and Sagittarius wants higher ethical behavior along with a sense of humor.

I wish I could say the full Moon in Gemini at 4 degrees (4:16AM EDT) on November 27^th had little stress in it but that’s not the case. The new Moon we just had on the 13^th was much more relaxing.

The full Moon chart has six plants in mutable signs which means the wind could be blowing in any direction. Add in the sign of Gemini, and there’s peace talking going on but will it last with four T-squares and no grand trines we saw in the new Moon chart.

If you have Sun, Moon, rising or planets in Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Pisces, you may be feeling like your feet are moving in all directions till the new Moon on December 12^th, 2023.

These signs are normally the most flexible signs but can be hard to pin down. They want adventure, especially Gemini and Sagittarius. This is a wonderful time to plan a short vacation with family or friends. Take all the stress between these signs and go for a bike ride or walk. Enjoy nature to calm the nerves.

The United Nations (Sagittarius) is busy trying to figure out what to do with all the stress that has manifested since the war with Israel and Palestine began. And please, let’s not forget Ukraine defending democracy with its own troops.

America is also at an all time high of tension as the last Pluto return of four ends on December 3^rd. What is America’s power in the world? How can we use that power to help the world? Hopefully, our government is in full function with a house speaker as they try to avoid a government shutdown on November 17^th when Scorpio energy is still alive.

President Biden is a Scorpio with Sagittarius rising, Moon in Taurus. His Sun in Scorpio is in the 12^th house, so this is a very tuff month for him. His government body, congress, will be a thorn in his side this month and this could affect his health.

It could take till November 4^th, when Saturn stations direct, for a new house speaker.

All the best to all the signs mentioned this month of November.
