Jupiter is now firmly planted in Scorpio, and all us Scorpios can feel cheerful: good fortune is headed our way. At the beginning of the month there are only two planets in retrograde motion. Neptune turns direct the 22^nd, leaving only Uranus moving "backward.". Next month there is a shorter retrograde Mercury, lasting from the 3^rd to the 22^nd, Thus the end of this month sees a slowdown in communications and related activities. Get your Christmas shopping done either early or late as otherwise mix-ups, confusion, and other issues could arise.

Sun in passionate Scorpio moves to jovial Sagittarius on the 21^st. Mercury in persistent Scorpio changes to philosophical Sagittarius on the 5^th. Venus in gentle Libra turns possessive in Scorpio on the 7^th. Mars is in balanced Libra all month. Saturn is in scholarly Sagittarius all month. It moves into Capricorn next month and some political chicanery may come home to roost. The outer planets—Uranus, Neptune and Pluto move slowly and except for when Neptune makes its station the 22^nd, and Mars squares Pluto in the 19^th, don't have a lot of impact.

Full Moon in Taurus on the 4^th suggests we spend the next two weeks solidifying arrangements and building on whatever choices we made in the last two weeks. New Moon in Scorpio the 18^th suggests we begin projects relating to rebirth, renewal and reclamation. With a Mercury Retrograde coming next month we gain a running start on whatever needs to be repaired or refurbished before the end of the year. It is also the last call o bed down the garden for the winter.

This quiet month, the planet with the most activity appears to be Neptune, planet of illusions and the truth they obscure. Digging for the truth behind the illusion is important now. Scorpio occupying 2/3rds of the month is the only sign with four symbols: the scorpion, aka the sarcastic, cutting  nature of some Scorpios; the lizard aka the tendency of some Scorpios to blend in and be secretive; the eagle, aka the noble, keen eyed far seeing Scorpios; and the phoenix, aka the transformative spiritual Scorpios.

Days to be mindful include the 4^th with a Venus/Uranus opposition: beware of careless choices; the 13^th with a Mercury /Neptune Square: look carefully at deceptive appearances; the 19^th with a Mars/Pluto square: avoid violent actions or excessive activity; the 22^nd with Neptune stationary: illusions run rampant. Days to push your luck include the 3^rd with Sun/Neptune trine: music can be magical; the 11^th with Saturn/Uranus trine: breakthroughs are possible; the 13^th with Venus/Jupiter conjunct: a good luck day for all; the 16^th with Venus/Neptune trine: spiritual opportunities abound, choose wisely; the 25^th with Mercury/Uranus trine: innovative thinking and solutions; the 27^th and 28^th with Mercury/Saturn conjunct: positive effects from communications long term.
