November is starting with quite a heavy feel. Not only are Mercury and Mars in heavy Scorpio, but also on Monday night 13th, the NEW MOON is at 20 degrees SCORPIO .

Scorpio can cause us to dive into our subconscious, to be confronted with our shadow side. The planet ruling Scorpio is Pluto, who was the god of the underworld with its murky, muddy barely visible waters. Be prepared for a bit of “discomfort”.

Of course we can also use Scorpio energy positively. Mercury being in Scorpio (for another week) can be excellent for students seriously studying or doing research (getting to the bottom of things).

Mars right next to the New Moon (conjunct) will help with the energy to get moving.

Scorpio can be intense and powerful. Maybe you’d like to make your New Moon intention about your use of your power, e.g. are you too controlling in certain situations?

On Thursday 23rd November, the SUN will move out of heavy Scorpio into jovial SAGITTARIUS .

Sagittarians wants to understand. They search for higher knowledge and Truth – “the Holy Grail “. They are visionary, philosophic, open minded and generous. Every sign has “negative” characteristics, and Sagittarius is no exception! They are prone to exaggerating (perhaps don’t trust them with small details, they are only interested in the bigger picture). They procrastinate, can be tactless, even irresponsible.

Being a Fire sign, they have plenty of energy, therefore need plenty of physical activity.

As a Mutable sign, Sagittarius people are generally happy-go-lucky and easy to get on with.

The important thing for Sagittarius is feeling free and not tied down or hemmed in. You may feel a bit of this energy yourself in Sagittarius season.

Happy birth month Sagittarius!

27th November brings the FULL MOON at nearly 5 degrees GEMINI .

Gemini is an Air sign, about learning and teaching and how we think.

At this Full Moon, the Sun is in the opposite position at 5 degrees Sagittarius.

The opposition asks us to find a balance between the two signs. That is, balance between what we think and know, and how we communicate it, and what we believe and have faith in.

Mars is also in the mix of this lunation, being conjunct the Sun, so there may be some tension. Watch for aggression or arguments and try to disperse the Mars energy into physical activity.

Love and blessings
