You have moved into a month that is less a case of bait and switch and more that both sides of life’s fence are about to fire up, making this not quite what you will see on the box on day one. What you will see when you move into the new month is Mars in his final days in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery and separating from a friendly aspect to Neptune in a playful and creative part of your chart. Mars has been here for two months and has also connected with Saturn there, as has Venus as she moved through Scorpio and Mercury will before leaving on 3rd November. This is putting a lot of focus on the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence and that has been the case since you moved into your birthday month and new solar year last month. However, while the Sun will continue to enjoy the support of the planets in a playful and creative part of your chart until he leaves on 22nd November and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment will maintain that connection after her return to Scorpio on 3rd November, Mars will leave an adventurous part of your chart empty when he leaves on 4th November. Mars will return in the New Year to spend another three months here, but he will spend the rest of this year more focused on the busy side of life’s fence. It is a day after Mercury not only joins Venus in your income sector on 3rd November but to spend the rest of the year here, that Mars will return to your career sector on 4th November. Normally here for just six weeks, in the same way that Mercury’s retrograde turn on 26th November will keep him in your income sector for the rest of the year, Mars’ retrograde turn next month will keep him in your career sector for the rest of the year as well. With Venus having already started to connect with the North Node and both planets in your work sector, this will see the final two months of the year explode with potential across the income, work and career fronts. Venus will leave and return to your communication sector on 12th November, in time to get the most out of Pluto’s final days before he leaves on 20th November and in time for a Full Moon in your relationship sector on 16th November.
As you move into the new month every planet on the romantic and relationship fronts are in retrograde motion, as they have been for several months now. However, while Uranus will remain in retrograde motion in your relationship sector for the rest of the year, on the romantic front there is change in the air and the start of a turnaround. When the Moon moves through your romantic sector from 10th November to 12th November both Saturn and Neptune are still in retrograde motion, though barely moving. Ahead of his direct turn on 16th November Saturn will be barely moving while slowing ahead of his direct turn early next month, Neptune will be slowing right down. This means that while Saturn’s direct turn on 16th November will take the brakes off matters of the heart, Neptune will remain in retrograde motion for the rest of the month, keeping the doors open to the past and second chances. With the month beginning with Mars, in his final days in an adventurous part of your chart just starting to separate from a friendly aspect to Neptune and Mercury doing the same before leaving Scorpio on 3rd November, there will be a strong mix of nostalgia, romance, passion and adventure in the air from the start. Whether it is looking to the past or the future, this is going to boost your romantic confidence and especially with the Sun in harmony with both Saturn and Neptune before leaving Scorpio on 22nd November. Meanwhile, while Uranus will remain in retrograde motion in your relationship sector for the rest of the year your relationships have just as much support. It is the timing of the Moon’s return to your relationship sector from 14th November to 16th November that will allow you to tap into this. On the one hand, this is an ordinary monthly visit and something that every four weeks brings a chance to check in and become more emotionally engaged and aware. However, after her return to your communication sector on 12th November, this will see the Moon form a friendly aspect to Venus, the planet of love as it moves through but also to Pluto, for the last time before the planet of change and transformation leaves on 20th November.
While the Sun’s return to your income sector on 22nd November is the point in each year when the solar spotlight will always shift onto your income situation, matters and options, this year you not only have a head start but the kind of professional support that you could normally only dream of. You also start the month with the planet of luck on one side of the financial fence and the planet of money on the other side, setting the scene for not just a good month on both sides but a good end to the year. While in retrograde motion in your financial sector, Jupiter’s quest for financial growth and expansion continues but for the rest of the year is more focused on regrouping. This leaves the way clear for the income side of the financial fence to progress forward and is something that Venus, the planet of money, desire and attraction will be working to do before leaving your income sector on 12th November. Since her return a friendly aspect to the North Node in your work sector has already gotten this off to a good start and there is the promise of a friendly aspect to both planets there before leaving. However, within the space of 36 hours everything is set to change. It begins with Mercury’s return to your income sector on 3rd November, giving you the smart head for money needed to get your head in the game and to think on your feet. This will be followed a few hours later by the Moon’s return, adding its nose for money and ability to act as a trigger to the mix. It is 24 hours later that Mars will return to begin his longest visit to your career sector in 15 years and with the Moon still in your income sector, this is going to all of a sudden fire things up across the income, work and career fronts. The Moon will be gone by 6th November, but this is something that will remain locked in place for the rest of the year. Mercury will normally race your income sector in 14 to 15 days and Mars will normally spend six weeks in your career sector. Instead, Mercury’s retrograde turn on 26th November will keep him in your income sector for the rest of the year and Mars’ retrograde turn next month will keep him in your career sector for the rest of the year as well.
