Mars’ departure from your home and family sector on 4th November is going to change the dynamics of the year itself and while the pace of this professional year is picking up, this will help balance the scales. While this will end all planetary activity on the home front, not only is there rarely any focus here at this time of year, but by the time he leaves Mars will not only have been here for two months but in the New Year he will retrograde back in to spend another three months here. This will leave you with more than enough to work on or towards until he returns. Meanwhile, this will not only see Mars return to a playful and creative part of your chart but in time to catch Venus’ final days in an adventurous part of your chart. Even though Venus will leave on 12th November, with Mercury returning on 3rd November he will keep the momentum going until the Sun returns on 22nd November. With Mercury and Mars both staying put for the rest of the year, once the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence powers up it is going to remain powered up. As you move into some pivotal weeks on the career front, from the start having the right work/life balance will need to be a priority. While still not up to speed after spending months in retrograde motion, Pluto is starting to move forward and leaving your career sector on 20th November and then not returning again in our lifetime, he will be working to make his final weeks count. Helping to get the most out of the planet of change and transformation’s final weeks will be Venus’ return to your career sector on 12th November. Venus and the dwarf planet Ceres, who has been on a deep dive into your professional needs and priorities since her return in February will both stay on until 7th December. Meanwhile, the Moon’s return to your income sector from 14th November to 16th November as a Full Moon will give income potential a chance to piggyback off this.
When the Sun and Mercury left your romantic sector in September this should have and did end all planetary activity on the romantic front, but not for the year as is normally the case. Instead, the love gods have one very large wild card up their sleeve that they will be playing just a day after all planetary activity on the relationship front for the year ends. After the Sun left your relationship sector last month the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment and especially commitment to your relationships stayed on and until leaving on 3rd November, she is working to give you something to commit to moving forward. It will be four years until Juno returns but while this will end all planetary activity on the relationship front for the year, the lunar nodes will continue to police a balance between your own and your relationship needs. The Moon will also continue to return every four weeks, with a visit from 26th November to 28th November a chance to check in and become more emotionally engaged and aware. Meanwhile, it is a day after Juno leaves that on 4th November Mars will return for what should be a six week visit to your romantic sector. This means that the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos should be gone by Christmas but instead, a retrograde turn next month will not only keep him here for the rest of the year but will see him open the doors to the past and second chances. This will see Mars retrograde back out in the New Year, only to return a few months later for a do over that will keep him here until June 2025. Helping to get this new romantic chapter off the ground is having Venus, the planet of love in an adventurous part of your chart until 12th November. As Mars returns to fire up your romantic passions and fighting spirit, he can piggyback off Venus’ mission to bring the spirit of romance and adventure together.
Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of November in your financial sector, the solar spotlight is always on your financial situation and money matters at this time of year. Unlike your income sector, where Uranus has been since 2019 and there is therefore a continuous presence on the income side of the financial fence, this side of the financial fence is only active for a few months out of each year if that. There had been no planetary activity in your financial sector, the side of the financial fence where it is more about what you do with and how you manage the money you have since Venus, the planet of money returned towards the end of September. Venus had left by the time the Sun returned to begin his annual financial housekeeping but having had time to first update your financial desires and expectations. Where Venus’ focus was on the what, Mercury had returned before she left with the smart head for money to focus on the when, where and how. Mercury will leave on 3rd November, the same day that the Moon leaves and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment returns. With the Moon returning as a New Moon on 1st November, the month gets off to a fairly active start. As they leave, the Moon will leave you with your financial instincts sharp and Mercury with the smart head for money needed to keep your head in the game, but with a chance then to let things settle. The Sun will keep the solar spotlight on your financial situation and money matters until leaving on 22nd November while Juno will help you work on your financial game plan and resolutions for the rest of the year. Meanwhile, the Moon’s return to your income sector from 14th November to 16th November will not only shift the focus onto the income, work and career fronts but as a Full Moon this could lead to a breakthrough. In Pluto’s final days in your career sector and with Venus, the planet of money there by then and Uranus in retrograde motion here, this could act as a trigger for untapped income potential.
