Aires   Taurus   Gemini   Cancer   Leo   Virgo   Libra   Scorpio   Sagitt   Capric   Aquar   Pisces   Overview

This is a big year for change, Aries, and your remarkable evolution continues into the present month. You are feeling subtle vibes for an exciting fresh start in all areas of your life, especially the necessary spiritual component that ties together and gives meaning to the remainder of your journey. You have only to beware of taking yourself too seriously or the cosmic connection too lightly. This is a climactic fall season for you and it must be noted that your life at this time cannot be fully understood by the same mind set that that has gotten you to this point, and that has prevailed within your thinking up to now. New mental perspectives are required transcending previous ones, and these incorporate Spirit as a significant component in the equation.

As the month begins you are thinking about your future. This is both a more idealistic vision than any you have fully credited up to now and also one that is just a bit scarier and more confusing. Your thought is taking off in unusual and you might say even penetrating directions, and this includes elements that take you far beyond the purely physical plane – so that you must literally think outside the box of your fives senses and of the three dimensions of ordinary reality in order to give justice to feelings and perceptions that are currently knocking at the doorways of your mind. This is life-enhancing, ultimately. You know at the innermost core of your being that there is more to life than is indicated by the sensations of the physical world, so that any forays that you are able to make into these numinous other-worldly planes of existence, and by any means, represent an enhancement and an expansion of your participation in life itself. This also has repercussions for significant relationships in your life since you are currently enabled to see more deeply into not only your own psyche but also that of others.

The First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, November 2nd, opens you up even more fully to the creative void within and beyond material existence. This is a testing time when practical considerations make themselves painfully evident; a time when your ideas as relatively unformed as they have been, must sharpen and be made more concrete to in order to survive. Conflicts in point of view are possible, and equally the perspectives of others can help you to form and shape your own thoughts.

With the Full Moon time of the following week, centered around the Taurus Full Moon of Thursday, November 10th, a balance is somehow capable of being struck. The concepts of others form an amalgam with your own ideas, strengthening each. Surprising enlightenment emerges as the order of the day, perhaps almost too exhilarating, so that calmness and surrender are important qualities to cultivate. With one part of your mind and soul you are delving deep into the innermost depths of your psyche, no matter how hard you try to keep up appearances to the contrary.

The Last Quarter Moon of Friday, November 18th, marks another powerfully transformative period and makes an intensely interesting bookend to these ruminations. This represents an active and yet also thoughtful and almost meditative time for you, when you will be summing up the lessons learned over the previous three weeks of the lunar cycle. Mercury is getting ready to retrograde in your sector of Higher Mind, contributing to the philosophically reflective stance you are now taking. As well as the more obvious considerations of what is truly going on for you beneath the surface, you are allowing yourself to meditate on life direction as well, and where indeed the current series of events and synchronicities might actually be taking you.

The Thanksgiving Day New Moon and Solar Eclipse of Thursday, November 24th, begins yet another important phase as you see even further into the worlds within worlds underlying and echoing this surface one.


Taurus   (April 20 - May 20)  Earth.  Ruling planet Venus.    Top

This is a positive and also a perhaps difficult time for you, Taurus, when you find yourself deepening your search for meaningful solutions. There is a creative tension in your process now, as the journey of your transformation continues. This is potentially a very confusing time for you although a richly rewarding one as well. You are all for changes that have been building and are no longer able to be put off. In assessing a noticeable sea change in life direction, you discover that it is an essentially spiritual mission that you are engaged in, so that you do not get anywhere without relying on some form of cosmic consciousness. You are also very aware of significant partners now, and see them as helpers in finding your own way through.

As the month begins, you are very invested in partnership with others. The recent New Moon from the end of the previous month took place in your relationship sector and gave you fresh energy to examine your behaviors and patterns in this important area of your life. You are in the midst of a very special time, when your own self-development matters a great deal to you, and when there is a positive opening to make breakthrough in every part of your life. You are seeing at least one version of the future opening up ahead of you and possibly more than one, and they all seem to involve a greater commitment to spiritual values. These after all are fully as vital to what counts for success right now as material ones. You might have to slay a few dragons in the form of internal demons to achieve the results that you truly want and are now ready for. The main thing is that you recognize the aptness of this moment in time for you and that you do your best to meet it.

In this regard, the First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, November 2nd, comes as a testing period of time, when the intended arc of your evolutionary development gets caught on a few snags that you will have to find a way to work yourself through. This can be a confusing time as well; the action is fast-paced and yet also might come to almost a stand-still at times while you regroup to try to figure out what is really going on for you. Partners continue to weigh in with their own opinions which have both the difficulty and the advantage of being quite different from your own, so that careful consideration is called for in a often surprising and sometimes very enlightening set of circumstances. The facts of the matter are a bit slippery now; they can seem to be one way and then another, so that the truth of all these varied viewpoints perhaps lies somewhere in between.

With the Full Moon time of the following week, centering on Thursday, November 10th, you have a better chance at compromise and of finding a balance point of the energies. It might still feel like an illusion of some kind, or even of some form of deception, the truth of your situation and of your future plans, but it is at least a graceful illusion. With the Last Quarter Moon of Friday, November 18th, you enter a more meditative period to close out the four-week cycle of the Sun and Moon. You will find yourself mulling over the events of the past three weeks in order to make better sense of them.

This is ultimately for the purpose of taking the understanding that you have gained forward into your next phase, signaled by the powerful Thanksgiving New Moon and Solar Eclipse taking place on Thursday, November 24th.


Gemini   (May 21 - June 20)  Air.  Ruling planet Mercury.    Top

This is yet another powerful month for you, Gemini. You are finding new wrinkles on old issues that illuminate relationships of all kinds and how they manifest. This goes far beyond the simple surface layers of your psyche. A new sense of comfort and security is becoming possible for you; one that redefines your very self-expression and that does not lean on any one’s opinion but your own. This affects everything, especially relationship in your life, as well as home and family commitments and the way you actualize in the public sphere including career agendas and future plans. The circumstances that surround your present journey have the ultimate effect of kindling within you the next phase of your ongoing encounter with Spirit, working itself out in your life.

As the month begins, your theme lies in actively seeking a greater level of integration. You are very expressive now, both artistically and socially. You are combining spiritual soul-growth with your natural communication skills, and security concerns or even psychological explorations at the deepest possible level with the more obvious and superficial forms of normalized presentation. The energy from the recent New Moon in your sector of day-to-day experience and your path to future growth gives you increased energy for personal development of all kinds, while a strong sense of intuition pervades your thoughts and gives you a sense of a new a different type of future life that you might be somehow enabled to uncover for yourself. It is a powerful time to be writing or otherwise communicating your thoughts to others, as a way of making them more concretely available to yourself also. You can achieve this by simply journaling and blogging about them. It’s a powerful time for you; there is a massive degree of metal process going on beneath the surface and a great deal of heart process as well.

With the First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, November 2nd, you might hit a few snags in the road of your progress, although amazing intuitional intelligence continues to inspire you toward a more vibrant future. You could encounter conflicting points of view, or old patterns of relationship could arise to haunt you until you acknowledge and move past these remnants of an earlier time. Relationship with others plays a greater role in your life in general right now, and this applies to partnerships of all kinds including business linkages. Not everything that you conceive can be truly viable and this phase of the cycle helps you to sort out what does and doesn’t work for you, with a little help from your friends.

The Full Moon of the following week, taking place on Thursday, November 10th, represents a sorely needed balance point in the midst of a somewhat difficult fall season. Spiritual solutions present themselves and might turn out in the end to be the only ones that are truly available for you long-term. You are delving deep inside yourself at this time to keep pace with internal developments that match those in the more surface layers of your psyche.

With the Last Quarter Moon of Friday, November 18th, you have come to another important crossroad, when partnership interaction becomes an important factor in promoting your own growth in awareness regarding what you are in fact up to. In this part of the lunar cycle you are in fact attempting to sort out what has actually transpired over the past three weeks. Mulling over these events might prove to be extremely profitable for you at this time, and writing down your ideas or relating them to significant others in your life becomes a valuable addition to your own introspective process. These themes are likely to be continued into December.

The Solar Eclipse and New Moon of the following week, taking place in your relationship sector on Thursday, November 24th, is accompanied by the retrograde of your ruler, Mercury, so that the following month represents another very inner-oriented time for you when much that is now cloudy could become more clear, especially from the standpoint of your inner eye.


Cancer   (June 21 - July 22)  Water.  Ruling planet is the Moon.    Top

Your synapses are sizzling, Cancer. Work is play for high stakes and proceeds in stop-and-go fashion with more go than stop. This makes your career a gloriously unknown quantity right now that could be exciting as well as edgy. You are simultaneously feeling the energy of Pluto in your partnership sector whispering uncertainty there as well. A spiritual necessity engages you or else confuses with shifting perceptions while relations with significant others and even with yourself are all in flux. This might sound more than a bit scary but it feels like a celebration, and you win when you go with your gut instincts and party on. If in the process you accomplish some serious soul-purpose along the way so much the better.

As the month begins, you are feeling your way through the powerful influx of energy represented by the New Moon from the end of the previous month. This has hit you particularly in your career sector, where it is mediated by the fitful force of the Uranus planetary archetype – hanging out there for lo these many weeks now but particularly stirred by recent configurations of the end of September and October. There is a brilliant and future-oriented quality at this time for your perception of eventual goals and even of daily agendas in the workplace. You are seeing further and also more clearly into what you might consider the true nature of things, although that vision might take you far outside the traditional boxed-in viewpoint of consensus thinking that you can still find in plenty all around you. Multi-dimensional existence seems more real to you now than the garden-variety three-dimensional world of the physical senses, and that might just be something that you will actually get used to over the coming weeks and months. There is in fact a massive shake-up underway in various parts of your life, especially those facets dealing with relationships of all kinds including business partnership and customer contacts. This ultimately comes down to connection to your true Higher Self within the innermost depths of your psyche.

The First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, November 2nd, takes you along a higher vibration within your current arc of development but in a way that is yet also more constricted. You are being charged to more fully acknowledge the limitations of what was conceived in confidence at the New Moon time, which has the effect of grounding this vision into concreteness, allowing your ideas to find a greater penetration into the actual world of the physical senses. You succeed in proportion to the extent that you can rise above negativity in order to align with the cosmic energies that surround you during this quietly wild monthly period.

The Full Moon of Thursday, November 10th, represents perhaps the most complete flowering of this vision for you, a time when you can see the writing on the wall of your destiny and sense the flow into a less circumscribed future life that awaits you. There is energy now also for powerfully communicating your feelings and your future vision to your peers, or for expressing them in writing. There is in fact an excellent opportunity to journal or to otherwise record what is on your mind and in your heart.

With the Last Quarter Moon of Friday, November 18th, you are entering a period that is traditionally one of refection and contemplation, when the received wisdom gleaned from the first three weeks of the lunation cycle becomes more apparent to you.

At this time, also, Mercury is slowing down and getting ready to retrograde in your sector of discipleship to your highest purpose for yourself, which increases the contemplative nature of this weekend leading up to the American Thanksgiving holiday, which might therefore also be a somewhat inward-turning celebration for you this year, as you continue to mull over your past choices and your future possibilities for transcendence.


Leo   (July 23 - August 22)  Fire.  Ruling planet is the Sun.    Top

Surprising realizations continue to abound, Leo. You are focused this month on home and family and as well your security needs in general. During another big month of changes, the realization is beginning to dawn upon you that your psychological well-being is entirely tied to the holistic grace of the earthly environment and the numinous starry cosmos combined; that success in the world is a reflection of the integration of the innermost depths of your being as much as it is found in the more easily accessible surface layers; and that your own happiness depends on the happiness of all others. The possible activities arising out of these realizations are many and varied, but some form of exploit seems to be called for. Your task is to find the one that is uniquely your own.

As the month begins, you are pulling out all the stops for doing the inner work that your body, mind and psyche have been secretly crying out for. The vibrations are subtle and the message ambiguous, but when you look more closely out of the very corner of your eye the information is unmistakable. The re-evaluation that you thereby experience can affect you in several different ways. Not least is that you are likely feeling a mandate to find your true calling in the world, that is to say the urgency to be up and doing the dharma work that you came into this lifetime to perform. In this regard your home scene is very important, since it provides you with a place to stand as you figure out which way to turn. It is also true that as the holiday season approaches, family members provide for you some of the richest exercises in inner wisdom. You can clearly see the necessity to make peace with ancient trauma that might still be able to trip you up, even though long past the time of its emergence. Old patterns of behavior stemming from wounds of early childhood might be up for recognition, acceptance and renewal.

At the time of the First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, November 2nd, issues such as these may be brought to the fore for the purpose of moving beyond them, thus adding a touch of conflict to your inner process of increasing awareness. Your intuition is powerful now and events conspire to aid your growth. This could be classic both in intensity and in the surprising enlightenment that follows more careful consideration.

The Full Moon of the following week, coming along on Thursday, November 10th, is an occasion for a more balanced approach. You find yourself launching yourself out into the world of events and outer achievement more fully at this time, but your own development remains what you are really after. Your activity creates its rewards but when you look more closely the multi-layered depth of your true situation emerges. Everything is not what it seems, and yet it all becomes clearer when you just let go of attempting to analyze and go beyond the faculties of the logical mind.

The Last Quarter Moon of Friday, November 18th presents you with potential snags in the road of your progress and a few more facets of your experience to mull over. Mercury begins to slow down for its upcoming retrograde period of the following week. The normal activity of this phase of the lunation cycle involves reflecting on the events of the past three weeks and attempting to make better sense of what has transpired, which also has the effect of turning you more introspective. You are very busy at this time in your doing, but simultaneously partaking in a calmer spirit that whispers in your other ear about just being, without needing to do.

You are more fully energized by the time of the New Moon and Solar Eclipse taking place on Thursday, November 24th, Thanksgiving Day, in your sector of creativity and self-expression, but once again, with a powerfully overriding interior motivation.


Virgo   (August 23 - September 22)  Earth.  Ruling planet Mercury.   Top

It’s another powerful month for you, Virgo, as you continue to explore your unique path toward spiritual evolution. You are re-inventing yourself in this summer and fall period and it’s scary but also exciting and life-changing when you can get beyond your fear. In this regard, communication is key. Not only will you be able to benefit from the perspectives of others around you, but in sharing your fears, you will lesson their subjective impact, since voicing them makes them less poignant. Another potential trap of this particular time is the possibility for idealization or even illusion concerning significant relationships in your life. You might need to resort to inner guidance – and your own currently potent sense of intuition – in order to make it through without a loss of faith.

As the month begins, you are strong on connection with others, riding the wave of energy from the New Moon of the last week in October, which also combined your ruler Mercury with relationship-oriented Venus in your sector of communication. You are making great strides in solving the puzzle of your existence; at least as you have come to currently understand it. It helps to be reaching out to others around you. This might give you a better handle on potential solutions. Integration is the key. You are working many of the various modalities of your life and of your linkage with others, including inner discovery, public and private persona, teaching and learning, every kind of exploration of the word around you using heart, mind and soul. This can certainly be a confusing time with these very different avenues to the truth all desiring to be more fully explored, although it is a powerful time also, and ultimately a rewarding one as well. Relationships in particular might be one area where you feel the heights of ecstatic idealization and also perhaps at times the depths of despair. Can you ever be able to arrive at the real person to be found behind the illusion?

With the First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, November 2nd, you are more fully aware of the drawbacks than of the positives in what you are attempting. You are dealing at this time with old patterns of relating and perhaps how they have limited you in being able to fully extend yourself to others. The good news is that any added awareness of what is going on for you below the obvious surface levels is of positive benefit in being able to acknowledge and accept these potential traps within your psyche, and therefore being able to move on from them. Home and family become increasingly important as you explore the nature of your reactivity. It is well said that to understand is to forgive, even applying to yourself.

The Full Moon of the following week, taking place on Thursday, November 10th, is an occasion for a turnaround in how you see the fundamental relationships in your life and their contribution. You are still perhaps caught up in apparent conflict and the paradoxical elements of any blending of points of view, but you win by allowing the paradox without judgment, just letting it be.

With the Last Quarter Moon a week further on, taking place on Friday, November 18th, you are entering yet another hugely revitalizing time, when you can see the possibility for action of a different kind than anything that you have done leading up to this stage of the game. This is a time when it pays to mull over the events that have transpired up to now in the cycle, and the conclusions that you have drawn from them, and attempt to put the puzzle pieces together in a new way that makes more sense out of them for the sake of the future.

The Solar Eclipse and New Moon of Thursday, November 24th, Thanksgiving Day in America, is for you accompanied by the retrograde of your ruler Mercury in your home and family sector, so that the month of December will likely be an introspective one for you. This is well one in which you will redefine yourself and the key relationships of your life in terms of their impact upon you, and in terms of the way that they satisfying powerful security needs within you.

Libra   (September 23 - October 22)  Air.  Ruling planet Venus.    Top

This month is a special time for you, Libra. You are likely to be fortunate now with finances, or at least have no problem getting by, but the more important question to ask is what you might be able to create from the gift provided by these resources. Your values are shifting as you explore new perspectives on both outer and inner work, with the one feeding off the other. Meanwhile, partnership with others around you is an important and enlightening although fitfully transformative factor. Security in this area seems elusive, but you are in the process of forming a stronger basis for your own emotional security in terms of greater self-reliance and a deeper connection to the beneficence of the universe that serves to guide you onward, even as it puzzles you.

As the month begins, you are full of the desire for progress of both the material and the spiritual kind. You are perhaps learning that you cannot truly have the one without the other. As it says in the bible, by rendering unto Caesar those things that belong to Caesar or in our present day the banking establishment’s, you permit the free expression of your life force toward inner realities as well, which might be translated as “rendering unto God[ess]” the things that are hers, without stint. You are currently taking an acute mental and philosophical approach to this problem since while one key of this time period for you is sound financials, while another is the integration of all your various energies in a more unified manner. All of what is going on for you right now solidly stems from security needs that have been long unexpressed – or at the very least under-expressed – to your conscious mind.

With the First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, November 2nd, you might find yourself caught up on some of the lurking snags that can hold you up on your voyage down the river of your spiritual progress. The good news is that intuitional enlightenment also is available to you in plenty, in part brought to your attention by the unexpected actions of significant persons in your life. You might find that you are worrying too much about details and that you benefit when you can accept the information thus supplied and lift your gaze to the bigger picture.

The Full Moon of the following week, taking place on Thursday, November 10th, brings balance to the picture of your material concerns and also to issues of self and other that could arise at this time. It becomes vital to actively communicate your point of view to others around you, including significant partners. A deeply spiritual basis for everything that you do is also becoming more evident, and no longer really possible to ignore. You are finding both the rational reason behind your connection with others, and internally within yourself, and also those reasons that seem to come from nowhere but are actually the product of a deeply intuitive source of information within you.

With the Last Quarter Moon of Friday, November 18th, you are mulling over what you have gleaned from the three weeks of the cycle that have thus far passed, attempting to productively rearrange your sense of these findings. Inner work is called for even more, as you slow down in your communication with others and enter a more introspective phase.

The following week’s New Moon and Solar Eclipse taking place on Thanksgiving Day, November 24th, in your communication sector, presages a more meditative month of December when you will continue to refine your insights into your true situation.


Scorpio   (October 23 - Nov 21)  Water.  Ruling planets Mars, Pluto.   Top

This month is a significant one for you, Scorpio, both spiritually and physically. Riding the wave of the New Moon in your sign from the previous end of the month, you have loads of energy for both work and play, and find yourself in fortunate circumstances for new realizations to dawn and for personal growth in general. You have in fact so many chances coming at you that you might easily feel confused by your multi-form possibilities. You are making a powerful intuitional connection between where you are right now and where you more and more find yourself heading. It is vitally important that you pay close attention to these inner impulses – foreign as they might perhaps seem to the ways of thought stemming from your prior conditioning.

As the month begins, you are feeling the energy implicit in having the current lunation cycle begin with a New Moon in your sign, and as well a modicum of confusion equally inherent in your current prospects. You are in a fortunate place with respect to the issues of your life, and with good chance to improve them, but there is a fated sense to what is going on for you in this period, and you might have trouble navigating your good fortune. It helps when you can take the largest possible viewpoint on your situation. Intuition is powerful for you right now, and it will be your best and truest guide. You are seeing a future life unfold before your mind’s eye, as if in a dream, and although suspending disbelief could be difficult, you benefit by taking such visions seriously and by refusing to make any limiting assumptions whatsoever concerning your possibilities. Something in your current environment is scheduled for an eventual change, and sooner or later you will rise to meet this challenge. This can happen either with reluctance and clinging to the past, or else with as much grace as you can muster under trying circumstances, but you will meet it in any case.

The First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, November 2nd, brings this challenge a little closer. This is a time when the inherent drawbacks of what you see yourself as attempting can reveal themselves as more evident, enabling you to make necessary course corrections. Your intuition within you is very strong right now and security needs predominate also. You win when you can pay close attention to everything that happens to you at this critical juncture. Like the advertisement says “don’t be fooled.” Your self-expression is an important area of development these days but is subject to illusion and wishful thinking.

With the Full Moon of Thursday, November 10th, you are entering into a period of relative peacefulness and balance, when issues of self and other could predominate but not obsessively so. This is also a time when you might be able to strongly feel the call of your future– and you markedly benefit when you can allow yourself to heed the promptings of these inner visions. At the same time as the perspectives of important persons in your life hold quite a bit of weight with you, your mental process is also powerful one for you now and connects you to your own inner world.

The Last Quarter Moon of Friday, November 18th, represents another powerful moment in time when you are thinking over all that has happened recently with an eye to future goals. A positive attitude is currently engendered with you that enables you to rise above seeming difficulties in bringing forward into a more vibrant upcoming stage whatever wisdom you can glean from these events. You are not yet where you really want to be but you are able to get a glimpse of the way forward and that alone is truly helpful.

You are looking to your next phase, and toward the burst of fresh energy signaled by the Solar Eclipse New Moon of Thursday, November 24th, in your sectors of resources and values.


Sagittarius   (Nov 22 - Dec 21)  Fire.  Ruling planet Jupiter.   Top

This is a powerful time of the year for you Sagittarius, what with your birthday looming and a Solar eclipse in your sign during the last full week of the month. The energy of early November is also strong, bringing you riches of a spiritual and intuitional kind. You are changing with the shifting tides of this climactic year, and might have difficulty in finding your footing without a firm reliance on Spirit inside you. The trick for you right now is to remain open to what is being offered without judging that gift in any way. The material world might fail you but what never will is that sense of cosmic connection that you are lately developing more and more as you explore the fullest range of your possibilities.

As the month begins, you are consciously performing inner work rather than outer. This is an important juncture for you, and an important mission you are undertaking. It is also a mission for which you are currently well-suited, although this propensity does run counter to the usual run-of-the-mill thinking and could be a source of confusion as well. There is a way that your path might diverge in a positive and appropriate way from this moment in time forward. Everything in your life up to now has in some way led you to this point and the opportunity is yours for the taking. You are possessed now by a powerful and subtle ability to see the future opening out ahead of you ever more clearly, and you benefit by trusting in this sense of intuition that arises from deep within you. You also might be feeling somewhat ungrounded lately, with mystical Neptune flirting with your sector of home and family and your psychological roots, and you are definitely a greater sense of spiritual oneness with the surrounding cosmos.

With the First Quarter Moon on the second day of the month, taking place on morning of Wednesday, November 2nd, you are at the crossroads of decision. This is a time when you must choose between going forward with what you truly believe or deciding to start playing it safer by retreating from perhaps overly extreme positions. In other words, the limitations of practicality become very evident now, and potential conflicts in your communication with others must be dealt with also, but you are also blessed at this time with an unusual degree of discernment and a powerful sense of intuition that will help to guide you through.

By the time of the Taurus Full Moon taking place on Thursday, November 10th, you might have a better handle on your situation. You are at any rate more ready to take a considered action, although you might still feel conflicted or confused about what you are really up to. You are somehow balancing the practicalities of life together with far-out visioning, forging a sort of workable amalgam. It might be that there emerges a third way that dances between the raindrops and leaps the horns of the seeming polarity in your situation.

With the Last Quarter Moon of Friday, November 18th, you enter a deeply meditative period of time that is accentuated by the coming retrograde of Mercury in your sign. This is traditionally a time of mulling over the events that have transpired over the first three quarters of the cycle, attempting to make some sense out of your life as it prepares to enter the next stage.

Then the New Moon and Solar Eclipse in the first few degrees of your sign, taking place on Thursday, November 24th, Thanksgiving Day, is powerful for you, especially if you were born in November, and kicks off yet another powerful month leading up to the winter holidays.


Capricorn   (Dec 22 - Jan 19)  Earth.  Ruling planet Saturn.   Top

You are refining your approach, Capricorn. This month is when you take your can-do approach a step further, making an art out of the achievement-orientation that is your hallmark. You are actively visioning a novel and qualitatively different future for yourself, one involving a good dose of the spiritual along with the mental and physical techniques that have been so successful for you in terms of past results. You are beginning to recognize that while the latter is consistent with what consensus thinking calls for, and beyond which has no greater expectation, it can lead you right into a dead end. This recently emerging expansion of your potential includes a melding of heart and mind, inner and outer. You are taking a courageous stand for yourself based firmly on internally felt values of home, family and tribe.

As the month begins, you are feeling your future calling. The energy from the New Moon of the end of the previous month landed squarely in your sector of friendship, group association and future plans, and this has you buzzing with new-found potential. The amazing motif for you at this time is that not only are you thinking about the future as a logical extension of your present-day activities and business agendas, you are also seeing more clearly than ever before how to enable sensible and elegant departures from business as usual for yourself and others around you. A major theme of this lunar cycle is integration, and another is spiritual emergence. You are seeking solutions across a broader range of choices, including other-worldly ones, and making a bold move to integrate your entire sense of self – body, mind and spirit – behind these novel possibilities.

The First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, November 2nd, brings you more solidly and concretely in line with these conceptual turns and twists, and also might be the occasion to uncover some of the drawback that are inherent in bringing those new ideas into fruition. Point of view between yourself and others might differ markedly, although there is also an unusually high level of intuitive information available to you now that can help to see you through the most difficult of these conflicts, to the extent that you can allow it to enter your consciousness.

The Full Moon of Thursday, November 10th, brings with it a modicum of balance and helps you to right the ship of your progress. Your own individual needs and self-expression are focalized as you continue to explore the expansion of your goals and even of your persona, and this forms an important adjunct to the group process that is the general theme of this month’s adventure for you. Your point of view is idealized and shifts with whatever way the winds of change for those around you is currently blowing, which is exciting or potentially destabilizing depending on how you look at it, and can be exasperating at times unless you can make your mind up to accept the most inclusive big-picture view of things possible.

The Last Quarter Moon that comes along on Friday, November 18th, is traditionally a time of evaluation and reflection, when the events of the first three weeks of the lunar cycle are digested and summed up to serve as a launch-pad for future initiatives. For you in particular this phase involves getting a better handle on the philosophical or intellectual perspective shifts that might prove necessary in accommodating yourself to the changes that are appearing on your current event horizon. You might also be assessing old patterns of relationship or communication that have proven problematical in the past and attempt to work past these potential barriers to future progress.

With the Solar Eclipse and New Moon of Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 24th, you are entering into a relatively peaceful and more introspective period of continuing to mull over the current arc of your development; that process could bear fruit well into the month of December.


Aquarius   (Jan 20 - Feb 18)  Air.  Ruling planets Uranus, Saturn.   Top

You are intent on making a difference, Aquarius, but on your own timing, and in your own way. This month you are strong on career performance and professionalism, getting yourself out there into the world and communicating powerfully with your peers. As you do, you find that you are more and more tuned to the subtle vibrations of your inner cosmos as well to the outer. You come at the world more whole when you take all these operational levels of your psyche into full consideration. Like the proverbial iceberg, almost everything is underneath the surface, so that what you can learn from within might indeed prove startling. There are angels in the woodwork waiting their chance to come out and play, only the game is for real and the stakes are high.

As the month begins, you are feeling the pull to outer achievement in the wake of the powerful New Moon from late October that took place in your sector of career and professional life. This is a big month for putting yourself out there, also for discovering new avenues of self-expression so that you find a more graceful alignment between what you do in the world and what you say and, at rock-bottom, believe. The other priority at this time is of course inquiring into just exactly what your beliefs consist of. With everything changing so rapidly, you included, the set of values that you espouse is also a moving target, steered by what you can intuit at gut level and by what you feel might be appropriate to enable a future you can actually live with. Home and family are an area of expansion for you now and give you an important feeling of security that could allow you to function more peacefully and usefully out in the world.

The First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, November 2nd, might bring a modicum of added tension to your process of growth, but it helps to be aware that this tension can be productive of greater awareness of what is actually going on for you. During this phase, which can be referred to as the phase within the lunation cycle of a “crisis of action” you may well find that methodologies that you thought were working for you in fact are not, and attempt to take aim on ways of achieving course corrections to take these new-found realizations more firmly into account. It is possible that as part of this process of increased awareness you could discover old patterns of behavior that are tripping you up. These likely stem from early wounding and conditioning that is no longer appropriate to your present stage, but which linger because unrecognized as such.

The Full Moon of Thursday, November 10th, might be a time when many of these factors could come into a greater state of balance. You are reaching deep inside yourself for answers to some of these important questions, questions that perhaps you didn’t know to ask until now, and in the process coming into the fullness of your growth in awareness of these issues. You are also making a firm stand for yourself in your communications with others. With the Last Quarter Moon of Friday, November 18th, you are mulling over the events of the past three weeks and searching for a realignment of how you see things. You might come to this all at once, in a form of field and ground reversal or like grasping the gestalt of a matter in a sudden intuitional leap.

By a change in imagination you change yourself from the inside out, and by doing so you promote a subtle shift in the world around you. The Solar Eclipse and New Moon of Thanksgiving Day, November 24th, brings about an even more thorough revisioning of where you are currently heading, a process of re-evaluation that will take you through to the end of the year.

You are at something of a standstill, Pisces, but it is a creative one. While you explore new perspectives on where your life might be taking you, this time around, you connect more fully with yourself at deep levels and allow grater scope to the concept of how you define success. You are engaged also in fighting interior demons as you go, or perhaps you wind up befriending them in the process of getting more comfortable with the vast and yeasty spaces of your inner world. Communicating your deepest and most profound truth is powerful for you now, and unlocks layers of mystery as you settle in for the winter. Like the caterpillar in chrysalis you are preparing your cocoon and like the butterfly you will eventually emerge, but transformed.

As the month begins, you are investigating in several different ways the intelligence that has come your way recently, some parts of it startling and all of it surprisingly relevant to figuring out where you are headed at this time and how your life direction might need to be transformed. This is a very apt time for you to be engaging in any kind of academic or practical review of beliefs and philosophical bias since the New Moon from the end of last month took place in your sector of Higher Mind, which is also associated with travel and exploration of both the armchair and the actual physical kind. Your ruler Neptune is also nearly ready to station, and on the edge of your identity sector, so that the symbolism is there for new starts and turnarounds on existing ideas of who exactly you might find yourself to be when you take a careful look at all the known factors. Your intuition runs high at this time as well, so that you can trust your gut instincts to supply information that your conscious mind might not yet be ready to recognize. All this adds up to an important period of re-evaluation for you, when many things could change regarding your perceptions of the world around you and how you see your place within it.

The First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, November 2nd, might bring up creative tension within your arc of development and perhaps put a few roadblocks into the pathway of your progress. Like every other stage along the way of this month’s journey, this one asks of you that you take inner wisdom and spiritual values more seriously. Caught up in the hustle and bustle of the workaday world it is easy to ignore inner promptings, but paradoxically they might indeed turn out to be the most powerful indicators for you.

With the Full Moon of Thursday, November 10th, the full flowering of this month’s cycle is achieved. A form of balance is struck, when you are surer than ever of what you are currently attempting, and when communicating your deepest truth to others around you becomes an important part of the internal support that hold everything together for you. Partners in your life are active now and while their perspective might contrast with your own intuitional values it is helpful anyway even as a point of contrast.

The Last Quarter Moon taking place on Friday, November 18th, represents a time for mulling over the events that have gone before it, as a new basis for further expanding on your fundamental position. You might on this occasion be able to understand more fully what kind of turning point you find yourself in, and what adjustments might be required to see you through to your next stage. Old patterns of behavior that have limited you in the past might at this time be up for greater awareness and acceptance. This is key, since understanding your deep internal complexes of psychological response is the first step in going beyond knee-jerk reaction and into more conscious choice. It’s a great time as well to journal, because these notes can prove extremely valuable later on in evaluating your spiritual evolution.

The New Mon and Solar Eclipse of the following week, coinciding with the American Thanksgiving Day holiday, is a kick-off for further stages of deliberate growth with much of the action taking place where it counts, on the inside.
