HeartwingsandFriends.com - Tasha's AstroPlanner (November)

There are some powerful aspects this month as well as two eclipses. These can indicate that important changes will be taking place. In addition, the month contains three weeks during which Mercury is retrograde. This means it's a good month to play catch-up and complete any unfinished business; or go through possessions and eliminate what you no longer use or need, sharing it with someone who might appreciate it. Remember that always the outcome of any issue is in your hands, no matter the stars. Your attitude and your actions can turn or stem any tide that can be influenced.

November 1st brought an interesting "argument" between Venus and Uranus, signaling disruption of an unexpected nature--well, hello! Lots of that around right now! More of the same is possible on Saturday the 3rd. Then it's quiet in general until Tuesday the 6th when Mercury makes its station and turns retrograde for the next three weeks. What this means is that all activities that begin with Re are more likely to prosper and one is wise to avoid activities that do not. For example, purchases of new items are best postponed while replacements or repairs go smoothly and well.

The rest of the week is quiet until Sunday the 11th when Neptune turns direct, this could be a day for spiritual awakening or for self realization. Tuesday the 13th brings a Solar Eclipse of the New Moon, a powerful day made more so by a potential for confusion or disruptions in communications or in travel, or both. On Wednesday the 14th Mercury backs into Scorpio and any old business we had in that sign could recur or need to be readdressed. On the Friday the 16th Mars moves into determined Capricorn and more than usual can be accomplished by those who work to make a solid goal a priority.

Saturday the 17th promises to be a friendly day, good for communication. On Wednesday the 21st Both Sun and Venus change signs as we begin the month of Sagittarius and Venus enters passionate Scorpio. Be mindful that it is easier to be jealous or envious as well as possessive. Both Wednesday and Thursday the 22nd bring a potential for confusion as well as deception--whether self or otherwise. Also, Thursday and Friday the 23rd could prove disruptive or unexpectedly difficult. Avoid speed or sharp tools if you can.

On Monday the 26th Mercury finally turns direct, in addition there is a potential for some kind of breakthrough that reaches back into Sunday the 26th. Choosing responsibly is also important. On Tuesday the 27th, transformation is possible, and on the Wednesday the 28th there is a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse. The potential for positive change remains high both that day and on Thursday the 29th.
