During November the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars all change signs. This signals a brisk turnover in energy as progress is made, for instance in the case of Mercury, planet of communication and thought, from a steady motion in Scorpio to a more back and forth movement in Sagittarius. This can be observed in the media as well as in our own day to day communications. Scorpio progress is deeper and more penetrating and Sagittarius energy embraces education, which requires a broader focus. The same is true for the Sun's entry into Sagittarius, when the energy will lighten up and people will feel less stressed and more hospitable toward new ideas and ways of doing.

Venus, planet of acquisition and choices, moves from philosophical, generous Sagittarius to goal oriented, practical Capricorn. Mars, planet of activity and action goes from dogged, hard working Capricorn to quirky, erratic Aquarius. The Sun, symbolizing the overall daily energy goes from deep, passionate Scorpio to expansive, jovial Sagittarius. Neptune, planet of nebulous impressions and self deception, the only currently retrograde planet, goes direct. By the last third of the month, there will be no planets in retrograde motion thus we need not go back and redo whatever we thought we were done with.

November 1^st begins shortly after the October 30^th New Moon in Scorpio, making the two weeks following ideal for enhancing growth toward rebirth or progress on healing. The 14^th Full Moon in Gemini helps enhance communication over the next two weeks. We can employ the energy to better our communication skills. The New Moon on the 29^th in Sagittarius brings us potential for new ways to learn and grow as well as expand on our education. We can make a list of goals for that at the New Moon to be worked on for the next two weeks. Taking advantage of he energy represented by the new and full Moons can be helpful.

This month the energy has lightened up considerably and there is not a whole lot going on that seems stressful or problematic. Jupiter will be squaring Pluto on Thanksgiving, however all that will most likely do is enhance the increase of whatever might be driven out from under the rug. Family secrets could be revealed. The few stressful aspects to be found are relatively insignificant compared with last month, and we will probably find ourselves with much to be thankful for at Thanksgiving.

Days to be mindful include the 18^th to be wary of deception, self or other, the 29^th and 30^th when it is wise to abstain from sudden, irrational choices or decisions as well as something that that looks too good to be true and probably is. Days to push your luck include the 4^th and 5^th, the 23^rd, 24^th, when travel can go smoothly and the 25^th and 26^th, when black Friday and follow up Saturday shoppers will probably really have a fun time.
