November is
another pivotal month of 2014 as Uranus and Pluto connect again in an exact
square November 27, at 12 degrees
Libra/Capricorn through December 27, 2014. This is the 6th time this
powerful square has come together since 2012, the results of which are changing
our world as we know it, as well as our personal lives. This square will be in
an exact orb again late February-March
2015, and within 1 degree of being exact January of 2016 before finally separating for good. The times we
are in are critical, much like the mid
1930's before WWII, and the 1960's. Those periods of time changed our world permanently
and so will this time we are in. It's not difficult to see, but we may not be
cognizant of just how much the world has changed until this transit moves on in
2016.
Thus far,
the Uranus-Pluto square has resulted
in changes in the way the US government spies on US citizens, the knowledge
brought to us in part by Edward Snowden, and more may be revealed this month.
Governments across the world have changed and there is more turmoil in the
Middle East than we have seen in decades. Many more changes will occur and as
the square comes together turmoil will escalate once again, resulting in
further changes in the world, politics, and our personal lives if you have a
cardinal planet (Aries, Libra, Cancer or Capricorn) at 10-14 degrees. All
change is not bad, and at times this can bring positive results if change is
needed, depending on what else is occurring in your own natal chart at the time.
But with Uranus involved there is generally an unexpected element to the change
and chaos sometimes ensures for a time.
The Cardinal cross came together in April of
this year. A cardinal cross involves four planets, and Jupiter was part of the
mix, as well as Mars. So many things happened in April it was hard to keep up
with the news, but perhaps the biggest event was the emergence of the group
known as ISIS or ISIL. No doubt there will be more news of this terrorist
organization and the fight to destroy them. Many other situations occurred
including Russia's intervention in the Ukraine, the missing Malaysian plane,
and this period will not be so different as the last in terms of major events
in the world.
As Mars is
in Capricorn, also a Cardinal planet, the 'God of War,' will set off the Uranus-Pluto square forming a T-square
between the three planets, similar to the Grand Cross in April with Mars. A
T-square involves three planets while a grand cross involves 4. Many events
that began in April or we were concerned with at that time, will re-appear and
we will see the consequences November-January 2015. With Mars involved, the
square becomes a T-square (3 planets) the most critical period of the square
will be between the 8th and 14th of this month, but this is not the only
critical time.
The
Uranus-Pluto square falls on the chart of the US, Putin, Israel, ISIS and many
others, and events will occur that will affect us all as a collective. As Saturn
(and fast moving planets in Scorpio) oppose the fixed star Algoal I believe the
crisis with ISIS will escalate and become more brutal this month. As the last
solar eclipse was in Scorpio conjunct Venus, situations involving women around
the world will continue to emerge, and they are brutal toward women. An example
of this is the announcement the 200 missing Nigerian schoolgirls have been
married off to jihad fighters.
On
November 28, Saturn opposes the Sun of
the NYSE. This is a negative
indicator for stocks all the way around. Jupiter is square Saturn, and Saturn enters Sagittarius by late
December and while its square to Neptune is not exact, it is still within orb,
re-occurring in an exact square by December 2015. Astrologer Mitch Lewis wrote,
"This is historically a bearish
aspect in the stock markets. The crash of 1987 occurred while restrictive
Saturn transited this expansive Jupiter-ruled sign.
Saturn was also conjunct Uranus in 1987. These two
planets were in opposition in 1966-67 which began a 16 year bear market. They
were in opposition when the crash of 2008-10 occurred. Almost all downturns in
the markets are a result of Saturn in conflict with Jupiter or an outer planet,
Jupiter in Capricorn, or Saturn in Sagittarius.
Saturn will first square Neptune in November 2015.
These are all signs of a major reversal in the markets. Whether it’s the fear
of ISIS, Ebola, or some other unknown entity that will create the events, the
markets are on their way down! In July 2005 Saturn left Cancer and entered Leo.
That month was the very top of the housing market. It started to show serious
weakness soon after. In 2006 Saturn began its opposition to Neptune for a year.
This led to the crash and meltdown of that market. Saturn also rules banking,
and while that opposition occurred the banks throughout the world were readying
their own meltdown as a result of the sub-prime mortgage fiasco. Now we are
seeing the square between these two, and the lessons of 2005-7 will once again
be brought up. If we’ve learned from that period and made the necessary
adjustments, there shouldn’t be a major problem in housing or banking. If we
haven’t there will be hell to pay. The truth is, we’re somewhere in the middle.
There have been some changes made to ensure we don’t have the same sort of
collapse. But not all nations are following that lead. China has extended
itself way beyond its banking industry’s potential. I believe that is where we
will see the unsettling occur.
Already
McDonald’s and Coca Cola have severely lowered their earnings and long-term
expectations. There are a number of reasons for this including competition from
other firms, but IBM has also reported a serious drop in income. So are we
facing another crash? I don’t think so.
Stock
market crashes are rare. We need a perfect storm to create one. This looks more
like an extended 2 year bear market (with the accustomed bear-market rallies).
The markets will probably go sideways and down, not crashing to the basement.
America’s economy has been improving and shows strong signs of increased
manufacturing, exporting, and job creation (albeit many are menial in nature).
But globalization has created an interlocking system where weakness in one part
of the world may translate into a problem throughout."
Many other
planetary events occur in November, and the Scorpio
season is upon us as this post is written. Saturn has been in Scorpio now
since October 2012, and is 75 per cent through its cycle in this sign. December 24, 2014 Saturn enters Sagittarius
for the first time, retrograding back into Scorpio June through September for
one final pass in the sign ruling the eighth house of other people's money, investments and mortgages, taxes, debt, death, sex and transformations of
all types, and sometimes transformation seems forced.
Many Scorpios
have had a hard time with Saturn in their own sign and it has been a two year
period of many challenges and obstacles for many, and soon this period will
change as Saturn moves into Sagittarius
As we near the end of the Saturn in Scorpio cycle, the fast moving planets have
or will enter this sign, and at the time of this post the Sun is in Scorpio, and Mercury enters Scorpio for the second
time November 8.
As we go
through this month the focus will be eighth house matters: money, taxes,
investments and mortgages, debt, sex, death, change and transformation. The
eighth house has to do with our partners money and the way we feel in a
relationship. Now is the time to pay off or restructure debt and transform our
lives relating to these matters. Saturn gives us an opportunity to grow and
change as it transits each sign. This energy will amp up in November and it is
time to deal with these issues. The lessons of Saturn in Scorpio are almost
over. Of course we will have one final swing of Saturn-Scorpio June-September of 2015, before Saturn
leaves this sign for the next 30 years.
Other
transits in November include:
November 1, Venus sextiles Pluto and Mars
sextiles Neptune-Both 'gender' planets aspect the outer planets and this is
positive for relationships, compassion for others, relationships may seem more
fated.
November 3, Sun sextiles Pluto-A good day for
getting to the bottom of any situation with more ease.
November 6, a full moon occurs at 14 degrees of
Taurus-the peak of this moon is at 5:23 P.M., EST. Taurus is the ruler of the
second house of earned income and possessions. this is the companion full moon
to the October Scorpio eclipse falling on the 8th/2nd house axis which concerns
money and possessions. Issues that you dealt with during the eclipse may
re-occur in some form and a full moon is often the completion of events that
began on the full moon.
November 8, Mercury re-enters Scorpio-Mercury
leaves the shadow period of the retrograde on November 10. Mercurial energy
changes again becoming more intense, secretive and greater depth, which at
times can seem compulsive. As this transit hits the eclipse point of the
October solar eclipse, we will see eclipse related events play out and this is
a significant day.
November 9, Venus squares Jupiter-when the two
benefic planets create a square there is little struggle. This is a pleasure
seeking transit for the most part, indicative of a lack of discipline and
over-doing.
November 10, Mars
conjuncts Pluto setting off the Uranus-Pluto square over the next week or so. We will see big events in the world
and our lives if this is aspecting your personal chart. On the world stage Mars
rules police and military action and power struggles and violence is common. You may become involved
in a dispute that has to do with ego, manipulation and worst case scenario,
violence. This is a day to pick your battles carefully.
November 12, Venus conjuncts Saturn-this is a
transit of seriousness and poor for relationships and love. There is an air of
austerity with this transit and some relationships will end. Important
decisions could be made, and this transit might relate to something or someone
from the past.
Also on this
day, Mars squares Uranus setting off
the Uranus-Pluto square again. Mars-Uranus events are sudden, unexpected and
explosive. This is a heavy day in the world and our lives if these transits
aspect your chart.
November 13, the Sun squares Jupiter-this is a
transit that can create a desire for growth, and a square to Jupiter is often
beneficial. Situations can be overdone, or blown out of proportion. Don't
promise more than you can deliver.
November 16, Neptune turns direct-Neptune in
Pisces relates to disease, among other things, and as this planet turns direct
we may be able to get a better grip on the problem of Ebola. Creativity and
spiritual pursuits can come to the forefront, and if you are under a heavy
Neptune transit in your own personal chart, things will start to become more
clear.
Also on
November 16, Venus enters Sagittarius. Great for Fire and Air signs, not as
good for Water and Earth. More flirtations, fewer commitments.
November 18, the Sun conjuncts Saturn-
difficult, depressing and basically a negative transit. Some things may end,
expect delays and to become aware of what
your restrictions are.
November 20, Venus squares Neptune-at times this
can be a romantic transit, but Neptune is the planet of illusion, delusion and
confusion. It will work well if you don't take anything too seriously, and any
commitment made on this may or may not pan out as expected. At its worst,
someone could lie to you. Romantic issues can be foggy even if they seem to be
going great, it may not be as it appears. Money matters could crop up and make
no financial decisions on this day.
November 22, the Sun enters Sagittarius- This
sign is all about freedom and expansiveness for the next 29 days. Venus is in
this sign, and Mercury enters it in 5 days and the Sagittarius season is upon us,
so make the most of this fun loving time.
Also on this
day the full moon occurs at 0 Sagittarius
at 7:32 A.M., EST. Sagittarius is the natural ruler of the 9th house of
travel, education, legal/medical issues and outlook on life. Ruled by Jupiter,
it is the most expansive of signs, and now is the time to look at where you
might expand your thinking and ideas. Mercury
squares Jupiter, another basically positive transit but things could be
blown out of proportion. Watch what you promise others, or are promised by
others.
November 25, Mercury conjuncts Saturn-basically
a overly serious, restrictive and depressive transit, but could be considered a
good period for serious research, planning, or thinking about one's life as
long as it does not become too negative.
November 26, Venus trines Uranus-positive for
love, money and finance. The Sun squares Neptune-great for psychics, readings,
creativity, but things could become tiring, foggy and confusing.
November 27-Mercury enters the expansive sign of
Sagittarius. Happy Thanksgiving!
November 30, Mercury squares Neptune-Confusion
and misunderstanding can abound with this. Expect wet weather conditions in
many places.
