The month of November brings a powerful astrological energy that signifies the end of an eventful year. As we approach the final stretch of 2021, the cosmos is set to ignite with intensity, marking the climax of the ongoing square between Saturn and Uranus. This celestial dance has been shaping the landscape of our lives throughout the year, and November will be no exception.
Reactivation of the Saturn-Uranus Square:
Saturn and Uranus represent the delicate balance between existing structures and the need for change and liberation. In 2021, these planetary forces clashed twice, on February 17 and June 14, forming squares that challenged the status quo. While the final square will occur on December 23, the fixed sign Scorpio takes center stage in November, gradually triggering this aspect as the sun, moon, Mercury, and Mars square Saturn and oppose Uranus. The good news is that these planetary alignments will also trine Neptune in Pisces and square Jupiter in Aquarius, offering a glimmer of hope amidst the turbulence.
According to the astrology of November, radical change is the theme of the month, with the new moon in Scorpio setting the stage for transformation in the first week. As the lunar nodes shift from the Gemini-Sagittarius axis to the Taurus-Scorpio axis on January 18 next year, this is the last Scorpio new moon that won't be an eclipse for the next couple of years. It presents us with an opportunity to release emotions and move forward. While this transformative energy affects us collectively, those born under the fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) will feel its impact the most. Allow Uranus to awaken you from any sense of stagnation and embrace a new reality!
Love Gets Serious:
During November, relationships take on a serious tone. With Venus and Juno, the asteroid of commitment, in Capricorn, our focus turns towards long-term potential. Juno enters Capricorn on November 14, while Venus begins its journey on November 5 and will remain in this sign until March 5, 2022, due to its upcoming retrograde motion. The combined influence of Capricorn Venus and Pallas ensures that the commitments we make, both in relationships and projects, are grounded and built to last.

It's important to note that Venus's transit through Capricorn goes beyond November. The planet of pleasure is preparing for its next retrograde, which will occur from December 18 to January 28. As we welcome the new year, Venus calls for reassessment of our relationships, finances, and expressions of power. During this retrograde period, Venus will conjunct Pluto, intensifying the transformative energy in our lives from November until early March.
A Powerful Lunar Eclipse:
November's full moon brings a lunar eclipse in Taurus on November 19 at 12:57 a.m. Pacific Time. This celestial event promises exciting developments in our relationships, with Venus, the ruler of this eclipse, forming a perfect trine with Uranus. During this time, destined encounters, fated events, and unexpected financial shifts may come into play. The exalted Taurus moon will align with Pluto and square Jupiter, adding an element of sweetness to the proceedings. However, as eclipses are inherently unpredictable, it's important to stay grounded and open to whatever the universe presents.

Sagittarius Season Begins:
On November 21, the sun enters Sagittarius, marking a shift towards a more relaxed and expansive energy. After the intensity of Scorpio season, the first ten days of Sagittarius bring harmonious planetary alignments. Mars in Scorpio trines Neptune in Pisces on November 29, while the sun forms a sextile with Saturn, creating a favorable environment for manifestation. Despite being in eclipse season, our ability to visualize and manifest a new reality remains potent.
In conclusion, November is a month of profound transformation and exciting celestial energies. As we bid farewell to 2021, embrace the opportunities for change and growth that this month presents. Whether it's in relationships, personal development, or envisioning a brighter future, allow the cosmic influences to guide you on this remarkable journey.
