𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙖𝙣 𝙚𝙘𝙡𝙞𝙥𝙨𝙚?
eclipses occur when full or new moons activate the north and south nodes. the north and south node are mathematical points on the ellipsis of the moon, and in our individual astrological charts, they represent our comfort zones and learning curves, our gifts and challenges, our histories and destinies.
eclipses are major events, regarded as malevolent events since ancient times, otherwise known as “malefic” in astrological terms. an eclipse can be experienced as a wake up call, a tower moment, a sudden event. or, it could be a quiet, yet earth-shattering epiphany that we merely experience in our own consciousness.
𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙚𝙘𝙡𝙞𝙥𝙨𝙚 𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙤𝙣?
eclipses occur in pairs. the period spanning the two celestial events is referred to as eclipse season. eclipse season reveals truth to us. during eclipses, celestial light is shrouded. post-eclipse, we may see things more clearly.
eclipses show us our true desires and needs. total lunar eclipses take place when there is a full moon, when the sun and moon are in opposing signs. the sun is residing in scorpio, and the moon has moved into the sign of taurus. these two signs are of the fixed modality.
fixed signs represent strength, consistency, and dedication. when we’re dealing with fixed energy, we deal with energetic extremes. taurus is fixed earth, ruled by venus. scorpio is fixed water, ruled by mars. eclipse season may bring dramatic highs and lows in mood and energy.
this is the energetic peak of this lunar cycle and of scorpio season. this taurus full moon illuminates our harvest, shedding light on what we have completed and cultivated thus far. take time to assess your personal progress in the areas of life this lunar eclipse activates.
🌕 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨?
🌕 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘦?
🌕 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘯 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯?
𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙘𝙡𝙞𝙥𝙨𝙚?
scorpio likes to make homes in comfortable places. where have you tolerated discomfort for too long? this full moon eclipse may disrupt toxic and unhealthy patterns or situations in your life and relationships.
the total lunar eclipse has the moon conjunct uranus — uranus is sudden change, spontaneity. myself and many others don’t recommend conducting any magic under this full moon, use your discretion.
with the unexpected energy of uranus, things may turn unpredictable at best, volatile at worst. there is great potential for life-altering or direction-changing events on an individual and collective level.
those with personal placements in fixed signs (taurus, leo, scorpio, aquarius) will feel the effects of the eclipse the most, especially placements within 10-25° of those signs.
since the lunar nodes are present with the planets currently in taurus in scorpio, the fixed signs are being pushed to challenge themselves to grow beyond their comfort zone and release fears and regrets around their agency and sense of belonging.
the scorpio-taurus axis is the axis of death and life. to honor the cycle of rebirth, we are asked to let go of the old to embrace the new. the price we must pay for something we’ve never had before is our comfort with what we have become accustomed to.
this isn’t punishment. merely a part of the cycle of life and death we explore in the taurus-scorpio axis. where are you experiencing rebirth in your life? 🥀🌱🌹
based on your rising sign, this is the axis of your chart that has been activated this eclipse season:

♉︎
Today's Full Moon in Taurus will bring an ending to something related to fashion and beauty for everyone.
Since the Full Moon is accompanied by an eclipse, this will be a huge change that will take place over the next six months.
Since Taurus rules fashion and beauty, people will be leaving old trends, fashion styles or beauty routines behind them. Because the Moon is conjunct Jupiter and squaring Pluto, this won't be just some light ending where you leave your favorite pair of jeans in the closet and never wear them again.
This will be the type of ending where you put your entire style behind you and start looking for a new aesthetic. This is the type of ending where you decide to ditch the salon skincare treatments and start making your DIY face masks or vice versa.
Since the Moon is in a sextile with Saturn, the changes in the next six months that your beauty and style will go through will stick with you for the long-term. Even though it will feel difficult now and you may resist leaving behind something related to your beauty and fashion, the changes you incorporate in the next six months will elevate your beauty in the long-term.

November 2024 Astrology
November 2024 brings a powerful and transformative series of astrological transits that set the stage for profound change, both on a personal and collective level. This month marks the beginning of cycles that will unfold over the coming months and years, initiating shifts in how we experience emotional growth, communication, societal structures, and personal empowerment.
The cosmic energy of November is charged with the themes of transformation, rebirth, and realignment with long-term goals. With the dynamic forces of Mercury and Mars retrogrades, Pluto’s final entry into Aquarius, and Saturn turning direct, we are called to reflect on the past, reassess our paths, and make strategic adjustments as we prepare for a future that demands growth, resilience, and forward-thinking action.
This month’s transits highlight key areas of life that will be tested and restructured:
Deep emotional transformation under Scorpio’s influence.
Revisions to big ideas and ambitions with Mercury and Mars retrograde in Sagittarius.
Power shifts in technology and social structures as Pluto re-enters Aquarius.
Stability in relationships and finances with Venus in Capricorn.
As we move through these cosmic events, we are urged to embrace change, release what no longer serves us, and take a patient, disciplined approach toward our future. November 2024 presents a time of reflection, strategic planning, and slow but deliberate progress, allowing us to align our actions with both personal and collective growth. These astrological energies provide opportunities for transformation, if we are willing to approach them with openness, patience, and a long-term vision.
New Moon at 9º Scorpio
November 1st, 2024
The New Moon in Scorpio on November 1st, 2024, heralds a time of intense emotional renewal and transformation. Scorpio is a sign deeply associated with themes of rebirth, emotional depth, and hidden truths. When a New Moon occurs in this water sign, it invites us to confront the darker, more mysterious aspects of our psyche and the emotional undercurrents that influence our actions. This lunar phase is particularly potent for setting intentions that focus on transformation, healing, and personal empowerment.
Scorpio’s energy can feel intense and all-consuming, but it also provides a pathway to profound growth. This New Moon asks us to embrace the discomfort that comes with change, as it ultimately leads to empowerment and renewal. Over the next 15 days following the New Moon, you will have the opportunity to plant seeds that will flourish over the next six months. Use this time wisely to set powerful, transformative goals related to deep emotional work, purging old attachments, and welcoming new, more authentic ways of being.
Mercury Enters Sagittarius
November 2nd, 2024 - January 8th, 2025
When Mercury enters Sagittarius on November 2nd, 2024, it brings an expansive and adventurous energy to communication, learning, and intellectual pursuits. Sagittarius is a fire sign known for its optimism, enthusiasm, and desire for freedom, which significantly influences Mercury during its extended stay in this sign. From November to early January, Mercury’s journey through Sagittarius will foster a bold and forward-thinking attitude, but not without its challenges, especially as it will go retrograde at the end of November.
Key Themes for Mercury in Sagittarius:
Expansive Communication: Mercury in Sagittarius encourages open-mindedness and a thirst for knowledge. It's a time when we may feel inspired to think big, explore new ideas, and broaden our horizons through travel, learning, or philosophical debates. It’s also a period ripe for promoting big ideas, sharing knowledge, and motivating others.
Restless and Impulsive Thinking: While Mercury in Sagittarius can spark innovative and creative thinking, it can also lead to impatience and a lack of attention to detail. Sagittarius wants to rush ahead, seeing the big picture, but often neglects the finer points. This can result in errors or misunderstandings, especially with Mercury’s upcoming retrograde.
Mercury Retrograde Shadow and Retrograde (November to January)
Mercury enters its shadow phase at the beginning of November, signaling the beginning of Mercury retrograde themes. This shadow period is a precursor to the full retrograde and introduces subtle challenges related to communication, technology, and travel. Miscommunications, delays, or technical glitches might already be noticeable during this time.
Mercury goes retrograde on November 25th, staying in retrograde motion until December 15th. During this time, issues from the shadow period are likely to resurface, requiring reevaluation and correction. Retrogrades often call us to reflect, revise, and revisit ongoing matters, especially those related to information, communication, and travel plans.
Mercury Square Saturn (Three Times)
A key feature of Mercury’s transit through Sagittarius is its square to Saturn in Pisces, which occurs three times:
November 12th (direct)
December 6th (retrograde)
End of December (retrograde)
This aspect represents a major challenge to Mercury’s typically free-flowing and optimistic energy in Sagittarius. Saturn’s influence adds a layer of seriousness, restraint, and even frustration. Let’s break this down:
First Square (November 12th): During Mercury’s direct motion, this first square to Saturn might bring obstacles or delays in communication or planning. You may face challenges in getting your message across, or there could be restrictions around travel, paperwork, or legal matters. Saturn asks for precision, structure, and thoroughness, which contrasts with Mercury in Sagittarius’ impulsive nature. This is a time to slow down and ensure all your details are correct before moving forward.
Second Square (December 6th): Now in retrograde, Mercury squares Saturn again. This is the time when previous issues that were overlooked during the first square could resurface for revision. This is not a period for rushing; instead, it's essential to reflect on mistakes, revise plans, and correct errors, especially regarding documentation, contracts, or any formal communications.
Third Square (End of December): As Mercury continues its retrograde, the final square to Saturn will ask for one last review and correction before moving forward. This aspect emphasizes the need for meticulous attention to detail. Anything missed or mishandled earlier will demand attention now, so it’s crucial to handle things cautiously.
Practical Advice:
Backup Plans and Double-Checking: With Mercury retrograde approaching, it's vital to back up any important information, double-check travel plans, and ensure all communication devices are secure. Miscommunications are common during this period, and mistakes could easily slip through if you're rushing.
Mind the Details: Mercury in Sagittarius tends to skip over details in favor of the bigger picture, but the squares to Saturn make it clear that neglecting details will come back to bite. Saturn is the planet of discipline and correction, and its three squares to Mercury mean that if you don’t double-check now, you’ll have to revisit and correct those errors later.
Avoid Rushed Decisions: While Sagittarius energy pushes for action, Saturn’s squares demand patience. This isn’t the time to rush through paperwork, contracts, or important communications. Take your time and ensure everything is properly reviewed before moving forward.
Communication Corrections: With Mercury retrograde and squaring Saturn, miscommunications are likely to occur. Be mindful of how you express yourself, and be open to going back and clarifying if needed. Saturn will insist on accuracy, so if there’s any ambiguity or misunderstanding, it will need to be addressed.
Election Season Influence: Given that this period coincides with election season in some regions, there could be delays or revisions related to election results. Saturn’s involvement indicates that any errors or miscommunications could result in recounts or corrections, leading to potential delays in the final outcomes.
Reflection and Planning During Retrograde
Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius is not just a time of frustration but an opportunity to reflect on the bigger themes in your life. Are you communicating clearly with others? Are your plans rooted in reality, or are they based on overly optimistic assumptions? This retrograde, especially with Saturn’s involvement, asks you to think carefully about long-term strategies and to revisit any plans or ideas that may have been hastily put together. Key Takeaways:
Communication Caution: Mercury retrograde brings its usual issues with miscommunications, but the square to Saturn intensifies the need for careful, deliberate speech and writing.
Focus on the Details: Don’t let Sagittarius’ big-picture enthusiasm overshadow the need for precision. Saturn will make sure that anything skipped over gets revisited.
Backups and Safety: Ensure all important documents, passwords, and digital data are secured before retrograde begins. It’s crucial to be prepared ahead of time.
Reflective Question: How can you harness the expansive energy of Mercury in Sagittarius while staying grounded and attentive to detail during Saturn’s influence?
Guiding Question: What projects or communications require careful review and revision during this retrograde period, and how can you ensure long-term success by addressing these issues now?
Mars Enters Leo
November 4th, 2024 - January 6th, 2025
Mars entering Leo from November 4th, 2024, to January 6th, 2025, brings an intense surge of energy, ambition, and assertiveness. Mars, the planet of action, drive, and desire, in the bold and fiery sign of Leo amplifies these qualities, making it a time for personal power, leadership, and creativity. However, before Mars fully embraces Leo's dynamic energy, it will make a significant opposition to Pluto in Capricorn, setting the tone for the early part of this transit.
Opposition to Pluto in Capricorn – November 3rd-5th, 2024
Before Mars fully enters Leo, it opposes Pluto in Capricorn around November 3rd to 5th. This is an intense and potentially volatile aspect that can stir up power struggles, confrontations, and clashes of will. Mars in Cancer at this time represents the emotional, defensive side of action, while Pluto in Capricorn embodies control, authority, and manipulation. When these two energies oppose each other, there can be tension between the desire for personal freedom and the external pressures of authority or societal structures.
Key Themes of the Mars-Pluto Opposition:
Clashes of Power: Expect tensions in areas where personal desires (Mars) conflict with external power structures (Pluto). This could manifest in confrontations with authority figures, governments, or any system of control. On a personal level, this could bring up intense conflicts with others, especially where manipulation or power dynamics are involved.
Rebellion and Anger: Mars in Cancer (pre-shadow) is emotional and reactive, while Pluto in Capricorn is strategic and controlling. This combination can fuel rebellious tendencies and provoke anger, particularly around issues of feeling suppressed or manipulated. People may feel compelled to fight back against perceived injustices or restrictions.
Potential for Violence or Aggression: This is a period where aggressive or even violent energy can come to the surface. Whether in personal relationships or larger societal contexts, tempers may flare, and people may act out impulsively. It’s wise to avoid volatile situations or confrontations during this time.
Collective Tension: On a broader scale, Mars in Cancer represents "the people," while Pluto in Capricorn symbolizes governments or institutions. This opposition could indicate a period of social unrest, where collective frustrations with authority or governance boil over, leading to protests, demonstrations, or other forms of public resistance.
Mars in Leo: A Surge of Power and Expression
When Mars enters Leo on November 4th, the energy shifts from the more defensive, emotionally reactive state of Cancer to a bold, outward-facing, and highly expressive Leo. Mars in Leo is all about taking center stage, asserting one's willpower, and expressing creativity with confidence.
Key Themes for Mars in Leo:
Bold Leadership and Action: Leo is the sign of the lion, symbolizing courage, leadership, and personal pride. Mars in Leo drives us to take charge, pursue our desires fearlessly, and showcase our talents. This is a great time for self-promotion, stepping into leadership roles, or pushing forward with creative projects.
Passion and Drama: Mars in Leo can be highly passionate and dramatic. There's an urge to express yourself boldly and make a lasting impression. Whether in love, work, or personal ambitions, expect heightened emotions and a desire for recognition.
Creative Drive: Leo rules creativity and self-expression, and Mars energizes this area. It’s an excellent time to dive into artistic or performance-related projects, as well as anything that requires personal flair and a strong sense of identity. Your personal ambitions are likely to get a boost during this time.
Overconfidence and Ego Clashes: While Mars in Leo brings confidence, it can also fuel pride and arrogance. Be mindful of ego clashes, especially in leadership or competitive environments. While it's important to assert yourself, there’s a risk of coming off as domineering or overly self-centered.
Mars Retrograde in Leo – December 5th, 2024
Mars enters its pre-retrograde shadow phase in early November, culminating in its retrograde station on December 5th. This is a significant transit because Mars will be retrograde in Leo, forcing us to slow down, reevaluate, and potentially redirect our efforts in areas related to personal power, leadership, and creativity.
Mars Retrograde Themes:
Revisiting Ambitions: Mars retrograde often causes delays or setbacks in the areas of life where we’ve been trying to assert ourselves. During this retrograde, expect to revisit personal goals, especially those tied to leadership roles, creative projects, or areas where you’ve been seeking recognition.
Ego Check: Retrogrades are often times of reflection, and with Mars in Leo, this can bring up issues around ego, pride, and how we handle conflict. It’s an opportunity to reassess how we approach competition, leadership, and self-expression. Are you acting from a place of authentic confidence, or are you driven by ego and the need for external validation?
Tension Between Action and Rest: Mars retrograde can feel frustrating because the natural forward-moving energy of Mars is slowed down. It’s important to be patient during this time, as pushing too hard could lead to burnout or setbacks.
Mars-Pluto Opposition Redux – December 2024
Mars will again oppose Pluto in Capricorn during its retrograde phase in December. This brings back the themes of the earlier opposition in early November, but this time, they are intensified by the retrograde energy. Expect unresolved power struggles, conflicts, or suppressed anger to resurface, offering a second chance to handle these issues differently.
Managing Mars-Pluto Tensions and Retrograde Challenges:
Avoid Confrontation: With Mars opposing Pluto twice during this transit, it’s crucial to avoid escalating conflicts or confrontations, especially with authority figures or in situations where power dynamics are at play.
Use Neptune’s Energy for Healing: As you mentioned, Neptune forms a harmonious aspect (trine) to Mars during this period. This softens the aggressive energy and offers a way out of tense situations. Neptune encourages forgiveness, compassion, and spiritual perspective. If conflicts arise, try to de-escalate with kindness and understanding rather than force or aggression.
Practice Patience and Self-Reflection: Mars retrograde is not the time for aggressive action or pushing your agenda. Instead, use this time to reflect on your goals, work on your inner confidence, and focus on personal growth rather than external validation.
Key Takeaways:
Leadership and Creativity: Mars in Leo is a time to step into the spotlight, pursue your creative passions, and lead with confidence. Just be mindful of letting your ego get in the way.
Power Struggles and Conflict: The Mars-Pluto opposition (twice) warns of potential confrontations and power struggles. Avoid dangerous situations or confrontations with authority figures and focus on finding peaceful solutions instead.
Retrograde Reflection: Mars retrograde in Leo from December 5th will slow down your progress, forcing you to reassess how you assert yourself and express your desires. Use this time for introspection and refining your goals.
Reflective Question: How can you assert your personal power without letting ego or pride cloud your judgment?
Guiding Question: What creative or leadership goals need reevaluation during Mars retrograde, and how can you approach them from a place of inner confidence rather than external validation?
Venus Enters Capricorn
November 11th, 2024 - December 7th, 2024
When Venus enters Capricorn, it brings a more serious and pragmatic approach to matters of love, relationships, and finances. Venus, the planet of beauty, love, and money, feels the weight of Capricorn’s disciplined and goal-oriented energy. During this transit, there’s a focus on long-term investments, not only financially but also in relationships and personal values. It’s a time to align our desires with practical, long-term goals, emphasizing stability, commitment, and responsibility.
Key Themes of Venus in Capricorn:
Long-Term Investments and Practicality: Venus in Capricorn is less concerned with short-term pleasures and more focused on building something that lasts. In terms of finances, this is an excellent time to think about savings, retirement, and long-term investments. You’re more likely to spend money wisely, making purchases that serve your long-term goals rather than fleeting desires.
Relationships Rooted in Stability: Capricorn’s influence on Venus makes us take a more serious approach to love and relationships. This transit encourages us to focus on relationships that provide security and long-term potential. It’s a time when commitment, loyalty, and shared goals take precedence over excitement or passion. Relationships may feel more structured and disciplined, but this helps create a solid foundation for future growth.
Wealth-Building Energy: Capricorn’s earth energy combined with Venus’ rulership over money makes this a powerful time for wealth-building. This isn’t about quick wins or speculative risks—it’s about slow, steady growth and making financial decisions that will stand the test of time. Think of this as a season to budget wisely, pay attention to long-term goals, and invest in things that offer stability.
Challenging Aspects to the Cardinal Signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra)
During this Venus in Capricorn transit, there will be some tension created by challenging aspects to the cardinal signs: Aries, Cancer, and Libra. Let’s break down what this means, especially with the nodes currently in Aries and Libra and Mars transiting Cancer.
Venus Square Mars in Cancer:
Mars in Cancer represents emotional, protective, and sometimes passive-aggressive energy, while Venus in Capricorn is all about structure, discipline, and long-term planning. This square could create tension between your emotional needs and your practical goals. Relationships may feel out of sync, with one person wanting to focus on stability and long-term planning (Venus in Capricorn) while the other may be more concerned with emotional security or family matters (Mars in Cancer).
This aspect can lead to conflicts where emotional intensity clashes with a desire for order and practicality. It’s important to balance your emotional needs with your long-term plans during this time.
Venus Square the Nodes (Aries/Libra Axis):
The North Node in Aries and South Node in Libra are pulling us toward independence and self-assertion (Aries) while releasing codependent tendencies and seeking balance (Libra). Venus in Capricorn squaring this nodal axis could bring challenges around aligning personal and relationship goals with your soul’s growth path. You might feel torn between pursuing your own ambitions (Capricorn) and maintaining harmony in relationships (Libra), or between focusing on personal achievements versus collaborative efforts.
This could also manifest as a need to reassess relationships, especially those that no longer align with your long-term goals. If a relationship isn’t supporting your growth or stability, you may feel the need to reevaluate it during this transit.
Venus Square Aries Energy:
With the North Node in Aries, there’s a strong pull towards independence and assertiveness. Venus in Capricorn, however, focuses on traditional values, structure, and responsibility. This square could create tension between your desire to forge your own path (Aries) and the need to maintain practical, grounded relationships and financial decisions (Capricorn). Finding a balance between self-assertion and practical cooperation will be key during this transit.
Venus Square Libra Energy:
The South Node in Libra represents areas of life where we need to let go of people-pleasing or indecisiveness. Venus in Capricorn squaring Libra can bring up issues in relationships where there’s a lack of balance or mutual effort. Capricorn’s no-nonsense approach might clash with Libra’s desire for harmony and compromise, leading to moments where tough decisions need to be made in partnerships or financial matters.
Practical Advice for Navigating Venus in Capricorn:
Focus on Long-Term Goals: Venus in Capricorn is about aligning your values with your long-term aspirations. Whether it’s in love or finances, make sure that your decisions are building towards something meaningful and sustainable.
Be Mindful of Power Dynamics in Relationships: With Venus squaring Mars in Cancer and the nodes in Aries/Libra, there may be tension around control, independence, and emotional needs in relationships. It’s important to communicate clearly about your goals and find a balance between practical considerations and emotional fulfillment.
Commit to Financial Discipline: This transit is a great time to focus on budgeting, saving, and making wise financial decisions. Avoid unnecessary spending and think about how your financial choices today will impact your long-term stability. Look for opportunities to invest in things that hold long-term value.
Navigating Relationship Challenges: The squares between Venus and the cardinal energies suggest that relationships will be tested during this period. If you find yourself in a power struggle or feeling out of sync with a partner, focus on long-term goals and shared values rather than getting caught up in emotional reactions.
Check Your Values: Capricorn asks us to get clear on what we truly value. Are your relationships and financial choices reflecting your deepest values and goals? If not, this is the time to make adjustments and align with what’s most important to you.
Key Takeaways:
Long-Term Thinking: Venus in Capricorn is all about taking a responsible, structured approach to love and money. This is a time to focus on building strong foundations, both in relationships and finances.
Challenging Aspects: The squares to Mars in Cancer and the nodes in Aries/Libra create tension between emotional needs, independence, and practical considerations. These aspects ask for patience and reflection, especially when navigating relationship or financial decisions.
Invest in Stability: Whether it's in your personal relationships or financial life, focus on choices that lead to lasting security and stability. Avoid impulsive decisions and think about the bigger picture.
Reflective Question: How can you align your relationships and financial decisions with your long-term goals during Venus in Capricorn?
Guiding Question: What values or commitments need to be reassessed to ensure that you are building a stable foundation for the future in both love and money?
Full Moon at 24º Taurus
November 15th, 2024
This Full Moon in Taurus, occurring on November 15th, 2024, is anything but the peaceful, stable energy we usually associate with Taurus. While Taurus is typically about comfort, stability, and enjoying life's sensual pleasures, this Full Moon brings a wild intensity due to its alignment with Algol, the fixed star known for its darker and more volatile qualities, as well as its conjunction with Uranus, the planet of sudden changes and rebellion. This combination creates a potent atmosphere, charged with the potential for dramatic shifts, revelations, and even upheaval.
Saturn Stations Direct at 12º Pisces
November 15th, 2024 - July 13th, 2025
When Saturn stations direct on November 15th, 2024, at 12º Pisces, there is a palpable shift in the collective energy. Saturn is the planet of discipline, structure, and responsibility, and its retrograde periods are often marked by delays, internal reflection, and challenges that require us to revisit unresolved issues. As Saturn turns direct, the restrictions and blockages that were present during its retrograde period start to ease, and progress can once again move forward.
Key Themes of Saturn Turning Direct:
Release of Restrictions: When Saturn is retrograde, we often feel as though we are moving through molasses—everything seems slower, more burdensome, and restrictive. Saturn asks us to work hard on restructuring areas of our lives where we’ve neglected discipline or responsibility, particularly in the house it is transiting in your chart. However, when Saturn turns direct, this pressure begins to ease. Problems that felt stuck or tangled may begin to unravel, allowing us to find solutions and make tangible progress.
Collective Sigh of Relief: Saturn’s retrograde period often feels heavy, like the universe is putting the brakes on our plans. As Saturn stations direct, there is a collective sigh of relief as the pressure starts to lift. We can expect to feel a renewed sense of movement and forward momentum, especially in the areas of life that Saturn has been influencing in the past months.
Reaping the Rewards of Hard Work: Saturn is known for rewarding those who have put in the effort. During its retrograde phase, it tests us, asking us to revisit old problems, put in extra effort, and refine our approach. As Saturn moves direct, the fruits of this labor start to become evident. If you’ve been diligently working through obstacles, restructuring your life, or facing challenges with patience, this is the time when you may begin to see positive results and the easing of previously difficult situations.
Specific Influences of Saturn in Pisces:
Saturn in Pisces brings a focus on dissolving boundaries, working with emotions, and addressing spiritual or creative issues with discipline. Saturn here asks us to create structure around our dreams, ideals, and subconscious patterns. During its retrograde period, these themes may have felt heavy, and unresolved emotional or spiritual issues could have resurfaced for review. As Saturn moves direct, the emotional or spiritual work you've been doing starts to show results, allowing for greater clarity and a sense of purpose.
Emotional and Spiritual Healing: Pisces is the sign of intuition, spirituality, and emotional depth. With Saturn moving direct in Pisces, there is an opportunity to move forward in areas of emotional healing or spiritual growth. If you’ve been doing the inner work to address past wounds or emotional baggage during Saturn’s retrograde, you’ll now find that the path toward healing becomes smoother.
Manifesting Dreams with Discipline: Saturn in Pisces is about grounding our dreams and spiritual aspirations into reality. During the retrograde, there may have been setbacks or a sense of being disconnected from your goals. As Saturn turns direct, you can start putting concrete plans into place to achieve your long-term visions, balancing creativity with discipline.
Impact on Capricorn and Aquarius Sun, Moon, or Rising:
Because Saturn rules both Capricorn and Aquarius, these signs feel its movements more strongly. With Saturn turning direct, those with significant Capricorn or Aquarius placements (Sun, Moon, or Rising) will experience a shift in how they handle responsibilities and challenges. The intensity of Saturn’s retrograde may have felt particularly burdensome for these individuals, requiring extra focus on restructuring areas of life related to work, career, and personal responsibilities.
For Capricorn: Saturn’s direct motion can bring relief in areas related to career, long-term goals, and your sense of achievement. The hard work you’ve been putting in during Saturn’s retrograde period will start to bear fruit, and you may feel less pressure and more clarity about your direction.
For Aquarius: Saturn’s direct motion will feel like a weight being lifted, especially around issues of personal growth, identity, and how you relate to the world. If you’ve been feeling restricted or under pressure to conform, this shift can bring more freedom to express yourself and move forward with greater confidence.
Practical Advice for Navigating Saturn Direct:
Embrace the Easing of Obstacles: If you’ve felt like you’ve been swimming against the current during Saturn’s retrograde, now is the time to allow yourself to go with the flow. Saturn direct provides an opportunity to finally see progress in areas that felt blocked or restricted.
Implement What You’ve Learned: Saturn retrograde forces us to reevaluate how we’ve approached certain responsibilities or challenges. Now that it’s moving direct, take the lessons you’ve learned and apply them moving forward. Saturn rewards maturity, patience, and perseverance, so put those qualities to use in practical ways.
Plan for Long-Term Success: Saturn in Pisces asks you to balance your dreams with practical, long-term planning. If you’ve been rethinking your goals or direction during the retrograde, now is the time to start implementing those plans with a clear, structured approach.
Be Patient with Yourself and Others: As Saturn stations direct, progress may still be slow at first. Saturn’s energy is methodical and deliberate, so don’t expect immediate results. However, you can trust that steady progress will come if you continue to work diligently and with patience.
Key Takeaways:
End of Delays and Restrictions: As Saturn moves direct, expect to see fewer delays and restrictions in the areas of life where Saturn has been transiting. Solutions to problems that felt insurmountable may now become clearer, and you can start moving forward with greater ease.
Rewards for Hard Work: Saturn rewards discipline, focus, and patience. If you’ve been working hard on addressing challenges, especially in areas related to spirituality, emotional health, or long-term planning, this is the time when those efforts may start to pay off.
Progress in Emotional and Spiritual Matters: With Saturn in Pisces, there is a focus on emotional and spiritual development. Saturn’s direct motion allows you to make tangible progress in these areas, helping you to create more structure and clarity around your personal healing and spiritual path.
Reflective Question: What lessons have you learned during Saturn’s retrograde that you can now apply to move forward with greater discipline and clarity?
Guiding Question: How can you create practical plans that align your spiritual or emotional growth with your long-term goals as Saturn moves direct in Pisces?
Pluto Re-Enters Aquarius
November 19th, 2024 - March 8, 2043
When Pluto re-enters Aquarius on November 19th, 2024, it begins its final and extended transit through the sign of Aquarius, marking a profound shift in global and societal dynamics that will last until 2043. Pluto is a planet associated with deep transformation, power struggles, and the exposure of what is hidden. Its movement into Aquarius brings a new focus on themes related to technology, society, science, and collective power. This transit promises revolutionary changes, much like its historical counterparts, which include times of significant social upheaval, revolutions, and shifts in power from established institutions to the masses.
Pluto in Aquarius: Key Themes (2024-2043)
Technocratic Tyranny vs. Collective Power:
Pluto in Capricorn (since 2008) has already dismantled our trust in traditional institutions like governments, corporations, and authority figures. With Pluto entering Aquarius, the focus will shift to new forms of power and control, particularly in the realms of technology and science. Aquarius is associated with technological advancement, and Pluto’s energy can expose and transform the ways in which technology is used to control or liberate societies.
Technocratic Power: There is a possibility that we could see an increase in the use of technology to monitor and control populations. This could manifest as advancements in surveillance, digital governance, or artificial intelligence. However, as Pluto scrutinizes these developments, there will likely be public pushback against any form of tyrannical control through technology, leading to power struggles between governments, tech corporations, and the masses.
Transformation of Social Structures and Communities:
Aquarius rules social systems, communities, and the collective. Pluto in this sign brings deep transformations to how societies are organized and governed. As power shifts away from traditional hierarchies (a legacy of Pluto in Capricorn), we may witness the rise of decentralized systems, collaborative governance, and new forms of social organization that give more power to the people.
Revolutions and Insurrections: Pluto’s transit through Aquarius aligns with times in history marked by revolutions and social upheaval. During Pluto’s last transit through Aquarius (1778-1798), both the French and American Revolutions took place, radically transforming societal structures. We may see similar revolutionary movements in the coming years, driven by a desire for greater equality, freedom, and human rights.
Empowerment of the Masses: Aquarius is the sign of the people, the collective, and human rights. This transit could lead to significant movements focused on the empowerment of the common person. Expect a rise in social activism, movements for human rights, and demands for greater autonomy from oppressive or outdated systems.
Scientific Breakthroughs and Technological Innovation:
Pluto in Aquarius promises to bring incredible scientific discoveries and technological advancements. Aquarius rules science, innovation, and the cutting edge of progress, and Pluto’s transformative energy will supercharge these areas. Over the next 18 years, we can expect rapid advancements in areas such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, space exploration, and medical technology.
Scrutiny of Science and Technology: However, Pluto’s influence also brings scrutiny and a deep transformation of the technological and scientific sectors. The use of technology will be critically examined, especially where it intersects with ethics, human rights, and societal welfare. Scientific institutions, technocrats, and leaders in the tech industry will be held accountable for their influence on society.
Shifts in Economy and Markets:
Aquarius is also connected to markets and economic systems, especially those that are innovative, decentralized, or related to technology (such as cryptocurrency or blockchain). Pluto’s entry into Aquarius could shake up the global economy, possibly leading to market collapses or shifts as outdated financial systems give way to new, more progressive models.
Pluto’s Shake-Up of Financial Systems: As seen when Pluto shifted from Sagittarius to Capricorn in 2008 (triggering the financial crisis), major economic disruptions are possible during Pluto’s shift into Aquarius. The first inklings of this could come as Pluto re-enters Aquarius in late 2024. The economy may experience significant shifts, particularly in tech-driven markets, social systems tied to the economy, or innovative new forms of currency and trade.
Population Shifts and Demographic Changes:
Aquarius, as a sign, is connected to populations and demographics. With Pluto in Aquarius, we can expect significant changes in global populations and societal structures. This might manifest in different ways:
Reduction in Population Growth: As you noted, Aquarius is connected to demographics, and Pluto’s association with mortality could bring a reduction in population growth, perhaps due to environmental factors, shifts in global health trends, or changes in societal priorities.
Shifts in Social Dynamics: We may see significant changes in how populations are distributed, how societies organize themselves, and how communities are formed. There could be shifts in urbanization trends, new forms of living arrangements, or changes in how populations engage with technology and work.
Historical Echoes: Revolutions and Power to the People
During Pluto’s last transit through Aquarius (1778-1798), the world saw the rise of revolutionary movements that fundamentally changed political and social structures, such as the French and American Revolutions. These events were characterized by the overthrow of monarchies and the rise of democratic ideals, placing power in the hands of the people.
Revolutions and Insurrections: As Pluto moves through Aquarius again, we could see similar social upheavals, where the people rise up against oppressive systems. These movements could be fueled by dissatisfaction with political or economic elites, technological control, or the desire for greater social equality and justice.
Humanitarian Movements: Aquarius is the sign of humanitarianism, and during Pluto’s transit, we can expect the collective to push for reforms that promote the welfare of all. This could lead to significant progress in areas like human rights, environmental justice, and social equity.
Pluto’s Entrance into Aquarius: A Turning Point
The final entry of Pluto into Aquarius marks the end of its back-and-forth movement between Capricorn and Aquarius. From November 19th, 2024, onward, Pluto will stay in Aquarius, signaling the completion of the transformational work it began in Capricorn.
End of Pluto in Capricorn: Since 2008, Pluto in Capricorn has eroded trust in traditional structures—governments, institutions, and corporations. As it leaves Capricorn for good, we’ll see a final dismantling of outdated power structures, making way for the new energies of Aquarius.
Innovative Future: Pluto in Aquarius brings a focus on the future—new technologies, decentralized systems, and social innovation. The changes that occur during this transit will likely be revolutionary, shaking up long-standing systems and bringing about a new era of technological and social advancement.
Practical Advice for Navigating Pluto in Aquarius:
Embrace Technological Changes Wisely: Pluto’s transit through Aquarius will bring rapid advancements in technology. It’s essential to stay informed and adapt, but also to critically evaluate how these technologies are being used, especially in terms of privacy, ethics, and human rights.
Prepare for Social and Economic Shifts: As Pluto shakes up social systems and markets, it’s important to be adaptable. Economies may shift, and the ways we live and work may evolve quickly. Stay open to new opportunities and be prepared for changing social dynamics.
Contribute to Collective Movements: Aquarius is a sign of collective power and social change. Over the next 18 years, consider how you can contribute to movements that promote equality, human rights, and humanitarian ideals.
Revolutionary Spirit: Prepare for periods of social unrest or collective movements for freedom and change. While these times may be challenging, they also offer opportunities for positive transformation and greater empowerment of the people.
Key Takeaways:
Technological and Social Transformation: Pluto in Aquarius brings deep transformations in technology, science, and social structures, shifting power dynamics and challenging existing systems.
Revolutions and Human Rights: Much like its previous transit, this period will likely see social revolutions, uprisings, and a push for greater equality and empowerment of the masses.
Economic and Demographic Shifts: Pluto in Aquarius could lead to significant changes in global economies and population dynamics, particularly through technological advancements and social innovations.
Reflective Question: How can you embrace the revolutionary spirit of Pluto in Aquarius to contribute to positive social change and innovation?
Guiding Question: What role will you play in the transformation of technology, society, or human rights during Pluto’s extended stay in Aquarius? 
Sun Enters Sagittarius
November 21st, 2024 - December 21st, 2024
As the Sun enters Sagittarius on November 21st, 2024, we welcome a shift toward expansion, adventure, and higher learning. Sagittarius season is a time of optimism, exploration, and seeking truth. Sagittarius is a fire sign ruled by Jupiter, the planet of abundance and growth, and its energy encourages us to broaden our horizons, whether through travel, learning, or philosophical exploration.
However, this Sagittarius season also brings Mercury and Mars retrogrades, adding layers of introspection and slowing down the typical fiery energy that Sagittarius brings. While the Sun urges us to look forward and pursue new adventures, these retrogrades call for revisiting past plans, ideas, and actions, ensuring that we take a more thoughtful and deliberate approach to our goals.
Key Themes of Sun in Sagittarius:
Optimism and Expansion: Sagittarius is known for its positive outlook and desire for growth. This season encourages you to think big, set new goals, and explore new possibilities. Whether it’s through travel, learning new skills, or diving into philosophical or spiritual pursuits, Sagittarius season is a time for expansion.
Adventure and Freedom: Sagittarius craves freedom and adventure. This is the time of year to break out of routines, seek new experiences, and embrace the unknown. The Sun in Sagittarius inspires spontaneity and a desire to break free from limitations.
Seeking Truth and Higher Learning: Sagittarius is deeply connected to wisdom and truth. It’s a time for asking big questions about life, meaning, and purpose. The Sun in this sign encourages exploration of higher knowledge, whether through formal education, spiritual study, or philosophical reflection.
Mercury and Mars Retrogrades During Sagittarius Season
While Sagittarius season is typically full of forward momentum, this year’s energy is tempered by the presence of Mercury retrograde and Mars retrograde. These retrogrades call for a more reflective and cautious approach to the usual Sagittarian optimism.
Mercury Retrograde (November 25th - December 15th): Mercury’s retrograde during Sagittarius season asks you to slow down and revisit past conversations, ideas, or plans. It’s a time to review and reflect rather than charge ahead. Miscommunications and travel delays can be common, so double-check your plans and be mindful of how you express yourself.
Review and Reflect: Instead of rushing forward with new ideas, take this time to reflect on what you’ve learned over the past year. Sagittarius is a sign that loves to explore new concepts, but with Mercury retrograde, this is the time to review those ideas more deeply before implementing them.
Mars Retrograde (December 5th - January 23rd, 2025): Mars retrograde in Sagittarius will slow down the typical assertive and adventurous energy of this sign. You may feel more introspective about your goals and ambitions, questioning how to pursue them more effectively. Mars retrograde asks for patience and careful planning rather than bold action.
Revisit Goals and Actions: With Mars retrograde, it’s important to be mindful of how you expend your energy. You may need to reassess your approach to certain projects or ambitions, ensuring that your actions align with your long-term goals.
Sun Sextile Pluto in Aquarius at 0º – Exact on November 21st, 2024
As the Sun enters Sagittarius, it makes an exact sextile to Pluto at 0º Aquarius. This aspect adds a powerful transformative energy to the start of Sagittarius season. Sextiles are harmonious aspects, offering opportunities for growth and transformation through effort and conscious action.
Empowerment and Transformation: Pluto’s influence in Aquarius, combined with the Sun’s entry into Sagittarius, creates an opportunity for deep personal and collective transformation. Aquarius is the sign of innovation and collective power, while Pluto represents profound change and the exposure of hidden truths. This sextile brings the potential for empowerment and transformative insights, especially in areas related to personal growth, freedom, and societal change.
Aligning Personal Power with Collective Change: This aspect encourages you to align your personal quest for truth and expansion (Sun in Sagittarius) with larger societal or collective changes (Pluto in Aquarius). You may find yourself thinking about how your personal goals contribute to or align with collective movements for change and progress. This is a time to step into your power and make meaningful contributions to the world around you.
Embracing the New and Revolutionary: Pluto in Aquarius signifies transformation through technology, innovation, and progressive ideas. As the Sun sextiles Pluto, you may feel drawn to explore new and revolutionary ways of thinking. This is a great time to embrace forward-thinking ideas and look for ways to revolutionize how you approach your personal goals or contribute to society at large.
Practical Advice for Navigating Sun in Sagittarius with Retrogrades:
Revisit Past Goals and Adventures: With both Mercury and Mars retrograde, this Sagittarius season calls for a more reflective approach. Instead of charging ahead with new goals, take time to review past plans and make adjustments where needed. Use this period to refine your vision for the future.
Focus on Inner Growth and Spiritual Expansion: Sagittarius is the sign of higher learning and spiritual exploration, and this season is perfect for diving deeper into your spiritual practices or philosophical studies. Use the retrograde energy to explore your inner world and gain new insights about your path forward.
Avoid Impulsive Decisions: With Mercury and Mars retrograde, impulsive decisions may lead to setbacks. Sagittarius’ fiery energy can make you want to act quickly, but these retrogrades ask for patience and careful consideration. Make sure your actions align with your long-term goals.
Embrace Transformation and Innovation: The Sun’s sextile to Pluto at the start of this season is an invitation to embrace change and innovation. Look for opportunities to transform areas of your life that feel stagnant, and be open to new, progressive ideas that align with your personal and collective goals.
Key Takeaways:
Reflective Sagittarius Season: While Sagittarius season is usually all about expansion and adventure, the retrograde energies of Mercury and Mars ask for a more thoughtful and introspective approach. Take time to reflect on your goals, revise your plans, and align your actions with your long-term vision.
Transformation through Pluto Sextile: The Sun’s sextile to Pluto in Aquarius at the start of this season brings powerful opportunities for personal empowerment and collective transformation. This aspect encourages you to think about how your personal growth aligns with larger societal changes.
Slow, Deliberate Growth: With retrogrades slowing down the usual Sagittarian momentum, this is a time to embrace slow, deliberate growth. Revisit your goals, refine your vision, and prepare for future success once the retrogrades have passed.
Reflective Question: How can you balance Sagittarius’ desire for expansion with the introspective and revising energy of Mercury and Mars retrograde?
Guiding Question: What personal transformations can you make during this time that align with the larger collective changes happening in the world around you?
Mercury Stations Retrograde at 22º Sagittarius
November 25th, 2024 - December 15th, 2024
Mercury retrograde periods are known for their challenges in communication, technology, and travel. During this retrograde, Mercury will be moving through the fiery and adventurous sign of Sagittarius, which brings a unique set of circumstances. Sagittarius is a sign associated with big ideas, optimism, exploration, and the search for truth. However, as Mercury stations retrograde, it slows down the usual forward-thinking and expansive energy of Sagittarius, urging us to reflect, revise, and reconsider our plans.
Key Themes of Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius:
Revisiting Big Ideas and Plans: Sagittarius is a sign that loves to think big, set grand goals, and push boundaries. However, with Mercury retrograde, it's time to revisit these plans. During this period, ideas that seemed inspiring may need adjustments, and large-scale projects may require revisions. Instead of jumping into new ventures, use this time to reassess your goals and ensure that they are grounded in reality.
Communication and Misunderstandings: Mercury retrograde is notorious for causing misunderstandings, and in Sagittarius, these miscommunications may revolve around big ideas, philosophical beliefs, or travel plans. Sagittarius’ desire for direct and bold communication can clash with Mercury’s retrograde energy, leading to potential oversights or misinterpretations in conversations. Be mindful of how you express your opinions and ideas, and be open to revisiting conversations that need clarification.
Reconsidering Travel and Education Plans: Sagittarius rules travel, higher education, and exploration. Mercury retrograde in this sign often brings delays or disruptions in these areas. If you’re planning any trips during this time, double-check itineraries, bookings, and travel arrangements to avoid last-minute changes. Similarly, educational or academic plans may need revision, and students or educators may experience delays in progress or communication issues around important academic work.
Retrograde Energy in Sagittarius: Revisiting Beliefs and Truth
Sagittarius is the sign of truth-seeking, higher learning, and philosophy, making this Mercury retrograde period an ideal time to reflect on your personal beliefs, long-held opinions, and philosophical perspectives. As Mercury retraces its steps through Sagittarius, you might find that your worldview or personal truth is up for reassessment.
Philosophical Reflection: Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius invites you to go deeper into your beliefs. You may feel called to reflect on how your current perspectives align with your long-term goals and your spiritual or philosophical outlook. Are the truths you hold still serving you, or is it time to explore new perspectives?
Questioning Ideals: Sagittarius is associated with ideals and broad visions, but Mercury retrograde can highlight where those ideals need refinement or reconsideration. You may encounter situations that challenge your previously held beliefs or that reveal gaps in your understanding. This retrograde period encourages questioning and adjusting your mindset to better reflect your personal growth.
Mercury Retrograde Challenges:
Miscommunications and Overconfidence: Mercury retrograde can cause breakdowns in communication, and in Sagittarius, a sign known for bluntness and enthusiasm, this can lead to overconfident or poorly thought-out statements. There may be a tendency to rush into conversations or decisions without fully thinking them through, which could lead to misunderstandings. Be mindful of how you communicate, especially in situations where tact and precision are needed.
Travel and Legal Matters: Sagittarius rules long-distance travel and legal matters, and Mercury retrograde here can bring complications or delays in both. If you’re involved in legal matters or planning trips, double-check all details and be prepared for unexpected changes. Travel plans may be disrupted, and legal paperwork might require revisions or face delays.
Technical and Digital Challenges: As always with Mercury retrograde, technology can be prone to malfunctions. This is especially relevant for those working with digital platforms related to learning, teaching, or communicating on a large scale. Make sure to back up important files and double-check the reliability of any technology you’re using for education, presentations, or online communications.
Mercury Retrograde Sextile to Mars Retrograde
During this retrograde, Mercury will form a sextile aspect to Mars retrograde, adding an interesting dynamic to the retrograde energy. Mars retrograde tends to slow down assertive actions, while Mercury retrograde asks us to rethink our communication and plans. This sextile offers an opportunity to harmonize reflection and action.
Slow, Thoughtful Action: This aspect encourages you to take deliberate, thoughtful steps toward revising plans or ideas. While both planets are retrograde, this sextile can help you align your inner drive (Mars) with the mental clarity needed to refine your plans (Mercury). It’s not a time for rushing forward, but for carefully reworking things with the intention of long-term success.
Strategic Adjustments: Mars retrograde in Cancer (at this time) encourages us to be protective and cautious, while Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius pushes us to reflect on big ideas and long-term goals. Together, these retrogrades create a favorable environment for making strategic adjustments in how you approach your goals, ensuring that your actions are aligned with your philosophical or long-term vision.
Practical Advice for Navigating Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius:
Revisit and Reflect on Long-Term Goals: Sagittarius is future-focused, but Mercury retrograde calls you to slow down and reassess those big plans. Take this time to reflect on whether your long-term goals are aligned with your current values and beliefs. Adjust your vision as needed to ensure it reflects the growth you’ve experienced.
Double-Check Travel Plans: If you’re traveling during this retrograde, be extra cautious. Mercury retrograde often brings travel delays, cancellations, or mishaps, and in Sagittarius, which rules long-distance travel, these issues can be more pronounced. Confirm your bookings, allow extra time for delays, and have backup plans ready.
Be Mindful in Communication: Mercury retrograde often causes misunderstandings, and with Sagittarius’ love of bold, direct communication, it’s easy to say something without thinking it through. Be extra careful with your words during this period, especially in philosophical debates, academic discussions, or any situation where beliefs and ideas are being exchanged.
Explore New Perspectives on Beliefs: Use this retrograde to explore new ideas or reflect on your current beliefs. Sagittarius seeks truth, but Mercury retrograde suggests that the truth may not be as clear as you think. This is a great time to review spiritual or philosophical texts, revisit past ideas, and consider if your current worldview still serves you.
Key Takeaways:
Reflect and Revise Big Plans: Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius is not a time to rush into new ventures. Instead, use this period to reflect on your long-term goals, reassess your beliefs, and refine your plans for the future.
Communication and Travel Caution: Be mindful of how you communicate, especially around big ideas, and double-check travel arrangements or educational plans to avoid disruptions.
Philosophical Reassessment: This retrograde offers an opportunity to reflect on your personal truths, spiritual beliefs, and higher learning goals. Use this time to explore new perspectives and ensure your beliefs align with your current reality.
Reflective Question: How can you use Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius to refine your long-term goals and beliefs?
Guiding Question: What personal philosophies or ideals need revision during this time, and how can you align them with your evolving sense of truth?

It's officially A Full Moon in Taurus with a Lunar Eclipse October 28, 2023 at 4:23 pm ET.
Weekly Astrology Horoscopes for All Signs October 23-29, 2023 for Your Sun Sign, Moon Sign and Ascendant Sign.
The Sun in Scorpio is now opposite the Full Moon in Taurus, with earth between casting the shadow of the lunar eclipse.
A key phrase for Taurus is “I have” and can also indicate, “I want” as in having the desire to receive, acquire, have and own. Taurus is highly territorial over who owns what and emphasizes “what is mine” like physical objects, land, housing, food, resources, etc., and of course money associated to all such things.
Taurus is the builder of the zodiac, doing the work required to manifest something into tangible reality. Interestingly enough, we have Pluto finishing off in Capricorn which indicates destruction of what is established due to changing goals and plans from higher echelons of power. We’ve all heard the phrase from politicians (Capricorn’s domain) of the long term plan of building back…, but in order to build something back, it means what was there before must be destroyed/altered/changed/ transformed first, which is what Pluto indicates – rebirth, the phoenix rising from the ashes...

Thank you for being a friend.

Taurus Full Moon @ 9 degrees; Sun Conjunct Mars: Letting go ; The force within us taking its time and power back. Time Spells lifting, what can you do in a short period? Sidereal Astrology; The ways of wonder shifting our vibration to newer paradigms.
Last night the full moon was something special. It allowed me to stay grounded in all my movements and see what feelings and emotions was taking over. I was going through an influx of emotions going from happy, certain, and motivated, to angry, depressed and lost. Why did it happen? Well the moon in taurus is opposing mars in scorpio.
Mars is the get up and do it planet. It has a drive to keep going and do what it wants for itself. When its in scorpio it's in its rightful sign. Mars in scorpio is a force of nature nobody seen coming, it makes the person with this placement seek truth within their psyche and a powerful psychological transformation is formed.
So what happens to the collective? Mars in scorpio conjuncting the Sun is highlighting our fears, shame, and guilt while the moon in taurus wants us to see the fruit that we've grown on this long spiritual journey of ours. When the moon is opposing mars and the sun, we cannot help but to have our emotions bringing us some highs and lows. When it comes to scorpio, we cannot have one without the other. So whatever emotions rose up thats letting you know what you need to focus on.
There wasnt much you all had to do, this taurus moon wants us to wait for timely order: The waiting game. Must we rush into our empires so quickly? What would we have learned if we allowed our martian force to drive things into the ground before we can wake up to see the hidden fruits our gardens we're creating in our sleep? Just hold on tightly.
All the work you did pushed through at this divine moment, thats why you're well rested and feeling a bit more rejuvenated. If you've been feeling insomnia these past couple of days expect for your body to 'crash' because your energy cannot be on speed drive like that. This is a time to know what you want when you want it, so sit back with this scorpio energy and relax into hermit mode. Be prepared to face yourselves and those demons you locked in the closet. This is going to be a long christmas season.

This is your cosmic reminder (and mine apparently) that even though the eclipse was yesterday, people are still really testy, up in their emotions, and looking for a fight.
The Sun opposes Uranus in Taurus today. This is a yearly aspect but one that is drawn into a deeper focus than normal by the intensity of the waning full moon and the t-square that the Sun and Uranus are forming with Saturn in Uranus.
Sparks will fly.
If you don't want to be in the arena today, if it's not your fight, if people are just being dysregulated assholes - step the fuck out of the arena.
If it isn't personal, don't let it be personal.
Today is a good day to log off and take a good walk. To go to the beach or spend some time cuddled up on the couch with a cup of something warm, your pet, and a feel-good show.
If it's not in your house, if it's not your monkeys, it doesn't have to be your fight.
My side <----------------------|--------------------------------> Your Side
No is a complete sentence. You choose what types of energy you absorb.
If anything big needed to happen, it probably happened yesterday. So if somebody is making a big stink about it today, it's probably not as big a deal and you can put it off until tomorrow.
It just FEELS like a big deal because our Scorpio Sun is feeling a bit extra. Let it. But don't engage if you don't want to.

Full Moon in Taurus, Mars and Mercury in Scorpio opposite Jupiter in Taurus October 28-29, 2023
Tumblr media
With a Full Moon in Taurus Eclipse we can see excessively reactive behavior that is highly revealing of hidden thoughts and motives.
The placement of this Full Moon in Taurus Eclipse is associated with attachments to one-side of issues, reminding us to think outside the box. Objectivity rather than reactivity is the route to solutions of stability.
Around the time of this Full Moon in Taurus we have Mercury and Mars conjunct in Scorpio; opposite Jupiter Retrograde in Taurus.
Mars opposite Jupiter in Taurus October 28, 2023 12:02 pm ET
Mercury opposite Jupiter in Taurus October 28, 2023 11:44 pm ET
Mercury conjunct Mars in Scorpio October 29, 2023 10:21 am ET
Feelings and beliefs can strongly determine the actions taken and decisions made now, which will have real-world results. Intense, fiery and blunt words and behavior are indicated. What’s emphasized now can directly relate to value and ownership of that which is in the material domain.
