Midlife Transits

November sees a new moon eclipse in Sagittarius on the 25th and next month sees a full moon eclipse in the opposite sign of Gemini. Eclipses don’t always show their effects at the time they occur, so you may have already felt effects from the Sagittarius eclipse and you may feel effects from the Gemini eclipse this month, especially around the time of the full moon in Taurus on the 10th. Or you may not feel any effects until next month or even beyond. If you feel effects around the time of the full moon this month, there’s a decent bet that they will in some way relate to your sex life, as that’s an area under planetary scrutiny in your chart this year and next.

There’s a lot going on astrologically in November. In no particular order: there’s a new moon eclipse on the 25th in the sign of Sagittarius; Neptune in Aquarius stations, Uranus in your own sign reaches the degree at which it will station, Saturn in Libra reaches into new territory, Mercury goes retrograde in Sagittarius, your ruler Mars enters Virgo for an almost 8-month stay, we have planets in all 3 earth signs, and the inner planets spread themselves through the signs from Scorpio to Capricorn. Is that enough for you?

Okay, let’s start with Uranus and Saturn–get them out of the way. (more…)

There is a lot going on astrologically in November, but the first two subjects that occur to me in looking at your solar chart are sensuality and relationships. The idea of sensuality comes from Jupiter in your own physically oriented sign, and the focus on relationships comes from the fact that this is Scorpio month, and Scorpio is your solar sign of relationships. Some of you will enter into a new sexual relationship soon, thanks to the influence of a new moon eclipse in Sagittarius on November 25. Sagittarius is your solar sign of sexuality. (more…)

Your chart tries to move romantic matters into deeper waters this month, courtesy of a solar eclipse in your relationship sign of Sagittarius on the 25th. For some of you, this eclipse will signal the start of a new relationship, perhaps unexpectedly. The orb of influence of this eclipse is about a month before and after the eclipse itself, perhaps even a bit longer, so don’t give up hope if nothing exciting happens right at the eclipse itself. Those with existing romantic relationships may also take things to a new stage with the help of love planet Venus, also in your relationship house for the bulk of the month. (more…)

November is a complicated month astrologically. We’ve got love, jobs, money, and even cars on the agenda. Let’s start with love. For most of this year, your chart has focused more on friendship, due to the presence of Jupiter in your friendship house. (more…)

In November, Mars moves out of your sign at mid-month and into Virgo for 7 1/2 months. That gives us a trifecta of energy in earthy signs until June of next year. Earthy signs are the ones that like physical touch, and they also represent your income, job, and career signs. I’ve read that waitresses who lightly touch a customer while serving receive much higher tips than colder types. (more…)

The key astrological event of November is the new moon eclipse in Sagittarius on November 25. Since eclipses can demonstrate their effects over a rather wide span of time, it’s possible that you felt it in October. Sagittarius represents your solar house of home and family, and eclipses in Sagittarius frequently relate to the gaining of some sort of insight. An eclipse in the 4th house may relate to some sort of recognition of your needs. Identifying your needs sets the stage for changes in your home and family situation or sometimes accompanies rapid changes. (more…)

There are a number of things going on astrologically in November, but I’ll start with the subjects of intimacy and love and affection and tall that good stuff. For months now, Jupiter has been in your solar 8th house of intimacy. Jupiter here longs to be in some sort of an intimate relationship. He likes closeness and familiarity. (more…)

So much going on in November, Sagittarius. The earthy energies of job, money, and career continue to be highlighted in your chart. The concentration of earth energies like this is fairly rare. For example, we won’t have Jupiter in an earth sign again for another four years, once it leaves Taurus in June 2012. (more…)

There’s some good news in November. We see energy in all the reasonable earth signs friendly with your own sign. Venus even moves into your sign a bit early this year, on the 26th of this month.

November is also Scorpio month. (more…)

As November opens, planets continue to be at all four angles of your solar chart: Jupiter at home base, Mars in your relationship sector, the sun in your career sector, and Neptune stationing in your own sign. All of these factors continue energy left over from last month. Use this abundance of fixed sign energy to hang in there with regard to some sort of an emotional situation that seems to have arisen in your life lately. (more…)

Hang in there, Pisces. Lots going on astrologically in November. We’ll start with your ruler Neptune going direct in Aquarius on the 9th. This brings Neptune out of suspension and moving toward your sign, where it will be quite strong. As your ruler moves forward, theoretically so can you. (more…)

I felt like digging through the archives and pulling out this interview with CJ Wright (aka Auntie Moon) on the subject of combining astrology with numerology. I greatly enjoyed talking with CJ. I hope you enjoy the podcast.
