Unearth the true you. Dig deeply into your psyche in order to discover the real reasons why things have been going the way they have. We live in a system of cause and effect, of karma. Zeus has been striking his hammer reconstructing reality in his forge. The sparks have kicked up a tornado of energy which were visible on the Sun over the last few weeks in the form of flares. These have smacked Apollo’s steeds, causing his chariot to veer dangerously. This has our egos running amok in circles on our psyches.

The New Moon today has the potential to rock your financial boat as the electrifying zap from outrageous Uranus forms a stressful 135-degree sesquisquare with the New Moon. Love seekers please be mindful of my warning from last month, about starting new relationships during Venus retrograde. In a little less than two weeks she begins to sail forward again, so keep your zipper up if what you really want is a long-term commitment!


Instead, use today and the coming ten, to dig around deep inside yourself. The Scorpio New Moon is a time to reevaluate your psyche. Though Pluto, the ruler of Scorpio, is not significantly aspecting this event, he still has a part in it. Clean up, purge and change. These are the actions to create harmony right now. Everything seems to be in flux. Accept it and there is no struggle.

November 6, Neptune shifts into forward motion, turning direct. Everything you have been dreaming of is now like seeds which need you to plant them. Care lovingly for them as you nurture their growth. Believe in yourself and your inspirations. Thank goodness the recent elections are over here in the USA. Let’s all figure out a way to make things work out for the best and pool our energies as a group!

November 7, it is time to roll the clocks back an hour where daylight-saving time applies. Take extra time to sleep so as to avoid a staggering week of grogginess. This always makes me long for my former home state Arizona where they just leave it alone. Why can’t we all just get that this is the best way to handle it? I will never understand this! This year there is a sparkling light at the end of the tunnel making it less fussy. Today Venus, still on her backward journey floats home into her Librarian realm. This is a great opportunity to mend the snares in your relationships. Keep your intentions clear and detach from perfectly rosy outcomes. Keep things real.

On November 13, look to the southeast after sunset to see the waxing Gibbous Moon near planet Jupiter. This celestial nighttime picture continues through the November 15. Any emotional waves have the potential to rise to tidal-wave proportions. Stay mindful of this and be gentle in your communications.

Just after the rise and just before the set of the moon on the nights of November 17 and 18, find a cozy, comfy spot and stare at the sky to watch the Leonid meteor shower.

Mercury causes you to blurt out when he moves into Sagittarius November 8. This causes many of us to get bolder about expressing our spiritual views. Having just been through an election, now is not the time to get holy. Rather than spending all of your energy doing the talking, take a long sip of your favorite beverage and practice active listening. Put your inspiration into writing or other creative activities. Spare your friends and family all of this verbiage.

Hallelujah, Jupiter turns direct November 18. You may now return to pleasant optimism. I have to admit that I have felt sticky for lack of a better adjective. This is on all counts: mental, physical and emotional. Let’s all take a big sigh of relief. Good, now things are getting back into order! Go ahead and go for the big things you desire. You now have a much better chance of attaining them.

Another bright star shining at the end of a long tunnel happens November 18 as well when Venus turns direct. I recall a little song that went “Happy, happy, joy, joy!” If there was ever a theme song for this double delicious day, this is it! Single people, you now are cleared to move around and date once more. Those of you who started something new during the Venusian back-step, let me know if it lasts. Do you remember my warning? Here it is again:

“Tomorrow on October 8, the goddess of love and attraction, Venus, goes into her retrograde cycle. For those of you already in relationship, this is a great time of reconnecting and redefining your commitments to one another. For those of you seeking love, this is a classic time of quick romance which has a hard time lasting. The ancient astrologers said that if you found love during Venus retrograde, it had no chance for the long run. I have to admit that it is my experience that this is very true. So, take this time to work on you and learn about your aloneness. Find strength in your beingness and be happy as you.”

So, now with the goddess of love and Jupiter direct, we all have a much better chance to relate and play nicely. My suggestion for personal growth: purge the clothes you aren’t wearing and give them to someone who needs them. Now, create a new look and a new plan.

During this Autumn season here in the northern hemisphere, we are experiencing a Full Moon of Mayan notability on November 21 when Luna is in her exaltation sign of Taurus. This notable angle places her in the Constellation of the Pleiades. This is the beginning of the end of the great Mayan Calendar in my opinion. This grouping of stars is a signal of peace and harmony so that is where I am placing my prayers and energy. If you want to keep reading and watching things calling 2012 the end, that is your business. I am not playing into that behavior.

If you are a teen or you have teens in your life, prepare for a showdown over rules which are formed out of values. You see, the ego or Sun in this case in Scorpio, who wants change in order to reconstruct. This is opposite the psyche, the Moon in this case in Taurus, who really prefers to enjoy to excess that which has come forth recently. The kicker is there is a square to nebulous Neptune. If you have deadlines, stay on them and do your best to get it all done ahead of time. Instead of struggling, try to tap into your creativity.

November 22 when the Sun jumps into Sagittarius, sparks fly and limits melt. Stay within reason when planning for the holidays and also when getting into tight situations with family and friends. Be realistic when planning and stay within your limits.

Relationship issues arise November 29 when Venus slithers into Scorpio. This throws more energy on your relationships or your desires for them. The goddess’s recent six-week retrograde romp unleashed all sorts of dark feelings as old relationships spattered your shoreline. Were you able to see the problems? Did you keep a clear head when dealing with everyone? Go ahead and get crystal clear about what you really want from your most intimate relationships. If you are ready for one, now is the time to brew your desires into an incantation of attraction.

This lunar month tops off, with intellectual Mercury stepping firmly into Capricorn on November 30. Phrasing is concise and to the point along with much needed patience for problem solving. Space is made for planning and focus returns. Get everything planned for the end of the year and next month you can sit back and enjoy the holidays!
 
Here are my tidbits for your lunar month by sign:
                                   
Aries March 19/20 to April 20/21
Your thick armor is cracking to reveal a soft, very vulnerable inside. There is no time like the present to practice letting your true feelings out. Mid-November you are ablaze with ideas and inspirations. Take it easy on the caffeine!

Taurus April 20/21 to May 21/22
Be like the tortoise, slow and steady, which saves you from burning out. Your pace picks up toward the end of the month when all the perceived obstacles melt and you magically get your way. This does not mean it is OK to be manipulative!
                               
Gemini May 21/22 to June 21/22
Be prepared to back everything up with a demonstration. Words only take you so far. The time has come to show the action of your ideas. Rather than flip-flop to yet another career change, bend a little and see what you can create right where you are.       
       
Cancer June 22/23 to July 22/23
You must remain persistent in order to gain the control which was lost during these last few months. Though you may have fantasies of pot-latch, burning everything is too big a purge. A lot of what you have is useful. Stay in touch with what your true passion is.
           
Leo July 22/23 to August 23/24       
Nothing is able to move as quickly as you think it should. Therefore, take some time off. Use a wellness day or even a week of vacation. You really need to disconnect right now. Capture the deluge of ideas and keep them in your back pocket for later.
    
Virgo August 23/24 to September 23/24
Take little steps forward. Figure out how to balance out your mood swings. They come across to others as lunacy! Be accountable. Later in the month, help a friend in need. This is pure food for your soul.
    
Libra September 23/24 to October 23/24
Stay positive. You are a beautiful person with a lot of good to give to the world. Mid-month the offer you have been desiring comes to you. Be careful not to bite off more than you can chew! Stay focused and responsible.
    
Scorpio October 23/24 to November 22/23
Is it time to break out on your own? If this has been brewing in the back of your mind, the answer is: Yes! It is up to you whether you use the vibe this month for relationship play or work advancement. Too much output drains your tank.
    
Sagittarius   November 22/23 to December 21/22       
You feel the shifting energy before others are ready to put change into motion. Stay focused and choose to depend on yourself. Keep your ides reigned in tight. People around you are not ready for the innovations and schemes you have created.

Capricorn December 21/22 to January 20/21                       
Everything in balance this month, keeps you happy and healthy. If you feel burned out, retreat. Strive for efficiency. Your mind is moving at lightening speed. Make sure your lips are in slow motion! This keeps you out of trouble.
       
Aquarius January 20/21 to February 18/19
Advancement is available but you must dive deep beneath the surface to find it. Quit judging yourself so hard. You are able to tackle anything right now. Stay confident, but do not over extend.
    
Pisces February 18/19 to March 19/20
Pay close attention to all minute details. Imagine each like a sparkling bead catching the light. Your optimism snowballs as the month progresses. Comments seen as humourous by you, sting and bite the ears of others. Edit your conversation to keep on the safe side.
