November 2019
RUNE OF THE MONTH: Isa “standstill, withdrawal, ice”. Ice enables us to walk on water, but can also be treacherous, even cost us our life, if not treaded on carefully enough. This rune calls for discipline, patience, caution and bravery. It also requires of us to listen carefully both to our inner self and our surroundings. Before the ice breaks, there is always the subtle sound of a crack. A month to slow down, stand in stillness and silence so that we may discern the truth in ourselves and in others.

Uranus remains retrograde this whole month until January 20th, 2020. Its shadow period remains until April 26, 2020. The degrees traveled in November (4º27’ – 3º22’ Taurus) are symbolized by: “A widow at an open grave” and “The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow”. A lot of change is still in store for us both on a personal and collective levels, but even if those transformations seem to bring tremendous chaos at first, we shall find that in time, they lead to a better order. With a greater sense of space and freedom, we are able to more deeply connect to our inner truth.
Mercury turns direct on November 21 at 11º38’ Scorpio. Its shadow period lasts until December 8th. The degree it turns direct on, is symbolized by: “An official embassy ball”. During the first 3 weeks of November, we still have a chance to discover our passion. We could be intensely interested in life after death, return to metaphysical studies we had left on the side, experience powerful emotions we thought we had overcome and become aware of left-over traumas from earlier years. On November 22nd, communications, thinking and travels return to normal with a renewed sense of personal accomplishment and success.
Neptune turns direct on November 27. Its shadow period lasts until March 17, 2020. The images representing the degrees covered in November (16º07’ – 15º55’ Pisces) are: “An Easter parade” and “In the quiet of his study, a creative individual experiences a flow of inspiration”. The thinning of the veils results in much magic, powerfully imaginative work in those artistically inclined, and a general sense of well-being and celebration.

Friday 11/1 Venus enters Sagittarius (1:25 PM till 11/25)
During the next 3 weeks, we express our feelings with warmth, openness and generosity. We could feel quite adventurous in love and be attracted to foreigners or people who have traveled. We tend to focus on the silver lining of every cloud and because we expect the best from others, manifest exactly that! We should however not get overly enthusiastic in financial matters as we could easily squander money much needed later on.
Tuesday 11/5: Mars Square Pluto (2:23 AM)
Today, we could encounter some opposition and face obstacles causing pressure, stress and frustrations. Rash reactions tend to be destructive and should be avoided at all costs. Best to cooperate with others as much as we can, act with courage and be direct so that the truth may emerge with clarity.
Friday 11/8: Sun Sextile Saturn (9:06 AM), Sun Trine Neptune (9:57 AM), Saturn Sextile Neptune (6:51 PM)
Inspirations and visions are backed by hard work. With discipline and focus, we ground our dreams and turn them into realities. Even though we are able to see beyond the veil, we do not fall prey to spiritual imagination. Wonderful for artists and healers.
Saturday 11/9: Mercury Sextile Pluto (6:13 PM)
Cooperating, lying low, keeping our opinions to ourselves and compromising are the best ways to gain momentum today. Yielding to the group, helps us have a better impact than forcefully pushing our ideas upon others.
Monday 11/11: Sun Conjunct Mercury (7:22 AM)
A day of effective communications and pleasant social contacts. Excellent for writing e-mails, doing phone calls, composing a report or essay or giving a talk. We express ourselves with simple efficiency and our ideas are received with clarity.
Tuesday 11/12: Mars Sextile Jupiter (10:21 AM)
A wonderful day to actively expand our education, travel and further, or strengthen, our financial and professional situations. Wonderful opportunities open enabling us to move forward.
Wednesday 11/13: Mercury Sextile Saturn (6:35 AM), Sun Sextile Pluto (9:56 AM), Mercury Trine Neptune (2:34 PM)
The way we express ourselves is both inspired and grounded. Excellent for completing backlogged work and asserting our leadership abilities. Our imagination could inspire us great visions that we are able to give a concrete form to.
Thursday 11/14: Venus Square Neptune (9:07 AM)
A person we cherish could prove disappointing. Deceit could occur in a relationship. Feeling a soul connection with another could blind us to his/her truth. Our compassion may suck us into a savior-victim connection. Money matters are foggy. Someone we interact with could be dishonest.
Monday 11/18: Mars enters Scorpio (11:41 PM till January 4, 2020)
During the next month and a half, Scorpio natives are favored. We won’t accept kindly betrayals of any sort. Our energy is particularly intense and focused. “Impossible” is a trigger igniting us to prove that we can do it. We should however be careful of potentially violent people who could be more aggressive than usual. Important also that we find creative outlets for our own anger should we experience such feelings.
Wednesday 11/20: Mercury turns direct (11:12 AM)
Kindly refer to the opening paragraph.
Friday 11/22: the Sun enters Sagittarius (7:00 AM till Dec 23rd)
During the next month, we feel adventurous, enthusiastic and generous. A wonderful time to travel to a foreign country, enroll in a class to further our education, become interested in a different philosophy of life, be enriched by a religion giving more meaning to our day to day existence. Our positive attitude and self-confidence are greatly enhanced.
Sunday 11/24: Venus Conjunct Jupiter 5:33 AM, Mars Opposition Uranus (8:49 AM)
Our social life could be particularly warm and positive today. We express our feelings with generosity and enthusiasm. A relationship begun today is likely to be both exciting and adventurous. We should however beware of not spending more than we have or need, and pay attention when operating sharp objects or a motor vehicle. Sudden aggression or impulsive reactions could cause accidents.
Monday 11/25: Venus enters Capricorn (4:29 PM till Dec 21st)
During the next 4 weeks, we tend to express our love more cautiously with greater attention to our responsibilities towards others. We could feel more realistic than usual and maybe also a little more pessimistic and lonely. We may need to face the truth about a relationship that has been shaky for a while. A good relationship becomes stronger at this time. We are also more serious in financial matters and are encouraged to favor saving over spending. The money we make at this time has more solidity than at any other time.
Wednesday 11/27: Neptune turns Direct (4:33 AM)
Kindly refer to the opening paragraph.
Thursday 11/28: Mercury Trine Neptune (1:52 AM), Venus Trine Uranus (10:26 AM)
We think with our hearts. Our intuition is enhanced enabling us to feel vibrations as well as all that is not expressed. Telepathic communication is greater than usual. We could also be more popular. In relationships, it is important that we find a balance between intimacy and freedom. An unexpected source of income could liberate us to live our dreams.
Friday 11/29: Mercury Sextile Saturn (10:12 PM)
A great day to clear our desk of backlogged work. Our communications are focused. We are attracted to mature individuals and keen on furthering our ambitions through hard work, discipline and seriousness of purpose.
Wishing you a productive month of November!
In Loving Light.
