November 2022 ~ HEALING, OPTIMISM, ONWARD & UPWARD!
Here are some top points to know about the November 2022 Astrology. See my November 2022
Horoscope videos/podcasts for more details and also in the date specific notes towards the end of
this written report:
1. There are around equal salty compared to
sweet aspects this month. The speed bumps will be many but most of the conflictive energies are ones that will pass quickly and there are a ton of nice aspects to balance out the nuisance ones. Some of my favorite aspects are occurring this month.
2. Eclipse season is still here. The potentials for exciting breakthroughs and big trajectory shifts that eclipses tend to bring are in full force now.
There is a Solar Eclipse at 2° of Scorpio on October 25 and a Lunar Eclipse on November 8 at 16° of Taurus. Eclipse “season” begins around 4-6 weeks before the first eclipse in the series, opening up the season early in September and making it linger through the end of 2022.
The “Me/We” polarity and “my stuff/our stuff” polarity are coming up strongly with this whole eclipse cycle which started at the latter part of 2021 and goes through 2023.
There will also be additional themes coming up based on the houses affected for each sign. I will give specifics about this in my October 2022 and November 2022 horoscopes.
3. We are back in the orb of influence of Saturn Square Uranus as they make their last connection in this configuration. In 2021, we had three passes of this aspect that covered and set the themes for the whole of 2021. These energies connected again in early 2022
and now make their final pass October 1-12, 2022 We will feel this most strongly in October but we will definitely notice the energies lingering into November (the energies might have started to pick up momentum in September). See my video on the topic to
better understand this.
4. The tides are now flowing in for an
extended period of time (until March 2023) from Mars retro but at least now Jupiter is back online!
Jupiter Direct can bring acceleration back to projects that had suddenly
stalled out around July when it went retrograde. Optimism, forward movement, expansion, solutions, luck, all have an increased chance of rolling in as Jupiter gains strength.
Mars
retrograde will still be strongly influencing but for November, Jupiter’s movement forward will bring noticeable shifts.
5. Mars is very recently
officially retrograde (October 30) after a very long prelude that started in early September.
From September until March of 2023, the inward and backward energies of Mars retrograde (and one more Mercury retro
during that time) are supported by us being the spider ~ sitting back working quietly in the back drop while we see what food comes to us.
Imagine when it
is retrograde, that you are on a beach with the tide coming in. The tide is bringing in great things, like shells, and not great things, like garbage. Similarly, the retrogrades will roll you in things from the past, difficult things like unresolved karmic patterns, challenges, and unfinished projects; and wonderful things, like friends, family, ways you used to have fun, or locations that feel like home or are otherwise nostalgic. If you try to put something out while the tides are coming in,
their journey will be shorter than expected and will bob right back to you. This quick return, like playing fetch with a dog in the water, can be perfect for certain things, like projects intended to be short-term, creativity for the sake of it (without an intended outcome), or a low stakes marketing experiment where very little is invested but returns could be high with very little risk.
My favorite aspect of the retrograde time is the increased chance for last-minute magic! The way you can most receive these gifts from the Universe is to try to leave yourself as unscheduled as possible so that you can say YES to sudden opportunities to do awesome
things.
Mars only goes retrograde around every 2.2 years so when it does, its shadow periods and actual retrograde are longer
than the retrograde cycles of Mercury or Venus.
Mars pre transit shadow period begins September
4, the actual retrograde begins October 30 and goes through January 18, 2023 with the post retrograde shadow period stretching until March 15, 2023. The transit will move from 25° back to 8° of Gemini.
Mars rules ambition, impetus, energy levels, initiation, aggression, and metal. When Mars is offline for the extended period of time of its full retrograde cycle, the general recommendations are to avoid instigating
in any topic of rulership. So Mars retro is not the best time to launch a new project (although it is fine for experimentation without attachment), initiating new things (unless they come to you and you are unattached to the outcome or it is intended to be a casual or short-term project), hope to have ambition or impetus (often we get lazy at this time so waiting for this time to get things done might not give you the drive you were hoping for), moving forward on projects that involve other
peoples participation (they are less likely to show up and may be less productive than you hope), initiating an act of aggression, like a lawsuit (fights instigated under the Mars retro transit tend to not favor the one initiating the suit or fight), new things involving metal - so ALL things made of metal are better to not be messed with and only deal with issues as they come but not the best time to purchase new machinery, devices, etc. - this also includes scissors and needles so new
barber/hairdresser, or new hairstyles or body art - are all best to stick with the previous version or practitioners. Voluntary or cosmetic surgeries may also be better as far away from the personal planet retrogrades as possible. Please note that any surgeries that are medically necessary or advised as timely by your doctor to not wait on in order to prevent or stop an issue that was starting to progress should be proceeded with according to your intuition,
research, medical guidance regardless of the astrological transits.
Some other topics that Mars retro may bring front and center
are:
Unresolved or seemingly random anger, aggression, arguments, gallbladder/liver issues, surgeries, issues with
machinery.
6. Strong Scorpio energies continue this month. The urge to merge and other topics involving other peoples’ money,
shared finances, inheritances, taxes, credit, debt, psychology, are brought up now. Power vs. powerlessness, control - too much and too little, sex and intimacy, are all also brought into center stage during this time.
7. Strong Sagittarius energies start this month. The second half of the month brings a shift from the strong emotional and inner focus to a more buoyant set of energies brought in by first Venus, then Mercury, then the Sun moving from Scorpio into Sagittarius. Long-distance travel, international associations, languages and cultures, writing, speaking, publishing, teaching and learning, are all
brought into this time in more notable ways. Prolific expression from the Sagittarius placements (and Mars in Gemini) may bring exhaustion and overstimulation. A frenzy of creation and activity is likely to burst forward out of the emotional waters of the earlier part of the month. Jupiter going direct also intensifies the Sagittarius energies since Jupiter is its ruler.
8. Mars in Gemini for a very extended period of time continue to bring restlessness and a focus on communication (including great energy for writing). Travel plans may stall out or in some way be restricted. It is a great time
for stay-cations or trips that are more local. Travel is more likely to bring you back to places you have been before.
The Gemini energies can also
bring vacillation or uncertainty, a prolonged feeling of having to decide between options or waiting for some news whose outcomes could set you on two completely different trajectories. Distraction may also abound. Doing short spurts of action steps may carry you further than trying to sit in one place for too long without a break.
Sweet boosts are more likely on or around these days: 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, 23, 24, 25, 28
Drama
or stress are more likely in the days around: 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, 19, 27, 28, 29, 30

** Note: Often the effects of planetary transits are felt before or after the actual day the transit occurs. Also note that dates may shift a day or so depending on your time zone. Also note
that general transits can effect people differently depending on many factors, including transits to the
individuals personal charts.
November 2 -- Venus in Scorpio Inconjunct Chiron in Aries - It may require a little more effort than usual to bring balance to the part of you that desires
attention as a means of healing something, and the part of you that yearns for the deep pleasure of greater purpose and understanding. Some awkward energy may arise as a result.
November 5 -- Sun in Scorpio Inconjunct Chiron in Aries - Venus in Scorpio Opposing Uranus in Taurus -- The inconjunction could have you again feeling awkward regarding the balance between the desire for recognition, and the desire for the pursuit of a more fully embodied sense of purpose. Under the influence of the opposition, relationship instability could become more obvious, and
this could arise in you as the desire to stir things up a bit. It would be a good idea to keep your long-term visions in perspective.
November 6 -7 -- Mercury in Scorpio Inconjunct Chiron in Aries - Venus in Scorpio Square Saturn in Aquarius -- The awkward imbalances surrounding three inconjunctions with Chiron in Aries are directly playing into each other, with each picking up where the last one left off. When Mercury in Scorpio makes the inconjunction, it may become easier to hone in on either the intense emotional signature of this
bizarre energy, or the complicated cerebral patterns at work. Under the influence of the square, you may need to act with extra caution under the watch of authority figures, and you are likely to feel somewhat low and frustrated.
November 8 --Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at 16° of Taurus - Sun Conjunct Mercury in Scorpio -- This Full Moon eclipse acts upon your experience of abundance, money, material foundations, love, and beauty. It makes sense to prepare for some kind of investment, or major opportunity in any of these areas of life. Check out my blog, Powerful Full Moon in Taurus Reveal & Release Ceremony, to
help make the most of the starry potentials. The Sun/Mercury conjunction in Scorpio helps you drill down deep into the psychological and other factors that are affecting your finances and self-sufficiency (or lack thereof). The deeper you go at this time, the more you will find that can be of value for vibrating at new levels and attracting in positive shifts.
November 9 --Sun Conjunct Uranus in Taurus -- This transit is meant to help you hone in on what is most unique about you, and most essential to your character. The Sun represents your identity, the way you most clearly materialize in the
world, and Uranus represents the unmatched signature of your own heartbeat, your special walk, your unique voice. This conjunction enables you to more thoroughly understand the relationship between these two. Some jostling or other surprises could occur. These could be stressful OR amazing (or both). Something very new and exciting could be right around the corner.
November 10 -- Mercury in Scorpio Square Saturn in Aquarius - Venus in Scorpio Trine Neptune Pisces -- While the square between Mercury and Saturn can make you feel forceful, or influence you to bring
some possibly inappropriate excess, the trine makes this an ideal time for sacred service, which has a chance of bringing a great deal of love into your life. If you feel conflicted, or confused, simply choose kindness. t will be reflected back to you. Transcendent answers regarding love or money could arise. Opportunities to showcase your artistic creations could also pop up at this time.
November 11 -- Sun in Scorpio Square Saturn in Aquarius -- This is a time to go with the flow, and consider refraining from acting
too rashly or boldly. It could be a great time to play it safe. Testing the patience of authority figures, could bring drama. Instead, consider finding a way to explore and refine your own inner sense of authority. Maybe their opinion doesn’t matter as much as you think? If it turns out to matter tremendously, now could be a time of seed planting for
creating a reality where you are less affected by the whims and opinions of people not using their power fairly.
November 12 -- Mercury in Scorpio
Trine Neptune in Pisces -- This transit puts your imagination into hyperdrive, and tunes your intuition perfectly. It is therefore a most ideal time for any kind of creative work. You would be well suited to any deep exploration into the inner workings of your being, or into the very fringes of the human experience. Everything from fine art and music, to psychology and spirituality, is well
aspected by this transit. I love this transit for tuning in to the wisdom of your ancestors or other ethereal guides. Deep study of psychological topics could yield amazing AHA! moments.
November
13 -- Venus in Scorpio Sextile Pluto in Capricorn - Mercury in Scorpio Inconjunct Mars in Gemini -- While the sextile may offer the opportunity for passion and prosperity, the inconjunction may create an insatiable sense of boredom, or make you feel like you have ants in your pants. If your point yourself in a meaningful direction, you should be able to channel this anxiety well enough.
November 14 -- Mercury in Scorpio Sextile Pluto in Capricorn -- The odds are increased for good news about support you have been hoping for in the form of someone else resources. A loan, a gift, an acknowledgment, something of material or emotional importance could come
through now. It could be a great time to have an important conversation, telling someone something you really need them to know, asking something important that could bring greater connection, diving deep into mysteries that hold keys to your evolution, are just a few great ways to use this magical starry combination.
November 15 -- Venus in Scorpio Trine Jupiter in Pisces - Sun in Scorpio Inconjunct Mars in Gemini -- This is one of my all-time favorite aspects. Jupiter, the bringer of luck and benevolence, expansion and growth combining in the most favorable of all aspects in astrology, the trine, with Venus, the ruler of love, beauty, and money! Scorpio brings depth
and connection and Pisces, inspiration and idyllic moments. Hopefully, the magnitude of this combo will mostly dwarf the annoying and very minor aspect between the Sun and Mars.
November 16 --
Mercury in Scorpio Trine Jupiter in Pisces -- This is an excellent time to apply extra effort to the cause of expanding your mind and broadening your horizons. The difference between depth and breadth is merely a matter of orientation. Mercury in Scorpio sets the stage for deep thinking, and Jupiter in Pisces turns your eyes to the all-that-is. Who knows what wonders you will find hiding in those hidden recesses. This is another one of my fave aspects. Connecting deeply with others, the
Divine, or yourself, could be well rewarded. This is a supremely awesome time for quiet personal pursuits that block out the usual daily stresses. It is a great time to unplug, even if its just for a few hours.
November 18 -- Sun in Scorpio Sextile Pluto in Capricorn -- More sweetness with this aspect! You may have extra incentive or support to become more efficient, responsible, and productive under this transit. The idea of sustainability is likely to enter the forefront of your plans, if it hasn't already.
The exploration of intimacy is also a likely feature of this time, and can play a part in adding stability and trust to your relationships.
November 19 -- Mars in Gemini Square Neptune in
Pisces -- While this transit expands your imagination, it may also inspire negative thought patterns. It would be a good idea to avoid intoxicants, or anything addictive that you may be susceptible to. Be on the look out for extremist thinking that may try to seduce or strong-arm you, and take care to avoid acting on negative impulse. Therefore, it is essential to find a productive outlet
for all of this energy, and find a way to contain it safely. Be extra careful when driving, walking, etc. as distraction may abound worse than usual and extra care could really protect you or others.
November 20 -- Sun in Scorpio Trine Jupiter in Pisces -- Another lovely trine! This one promotes strength, health, wealth, success, and well-being. There is so much that can be done with it. You may feel good enough to simply relax by a pool somewhere, but remember that you are feeling good because you are in a state of high functionality. You may as well
use it to do what would otherwise be difficult. Deep healing could occur and tools to maintain a new sense of peace could roll in.
November 21 --Mercury Conjunct Venus in Sagittarius -- When
Mercury and Venus come together in this way, it often brings opportunities to earn money from or spend money on exciting Saggie pursuits (like writing, travel, teaching, learning, languages, etc.) This combo can help us expand our horizons, and say "yes" to the invitations to the most rewarding adventures that we may otherwise overlook.
November 23 -- New Moon at 1° of Sagittarius - Jupiter Goes Direct -- This New Moon, being so close to Scorpio, while in Sagittarius, is all about exploring the innermost motivations that drive us out into the world. It is about getting in touch
with what inspires us, what we find most meaningful, and then charting our course into the future accordingly. It is quite auspicious that this New Moon is timed so nicely with Jupiter's return to forward motion, when we are called back onto the road of adventure by our own hopes and dreams. To see more ways to best use this power period, check out my blog, Making Powerful New Moon in Sagittarius Wishes.
Jupiter going direct is a cause for celebration! The things that were cruising forward up until early July that may have suddenly halted, may come back alive now in amazing ways. With its direct movement, Jupiter tends to bring more enthusiasm, positivity, and solution-oriented thinking. If you feel yourself sighing with relief
now, it may be because Jupiter is getting back online.
November 24 -25 -- Mercury in Sagittarius Trine Chiron in Aries - Venus in Sagittarius Trine Chiron in Aries -- With a body and mind prepped for something grand, look for an invitation to enter into a major healing journey on or around these days. As the old saying goes: two Trines with Chiron are better than one ;) Relief from massive healing or finding of solutions for long-standing problems, could come through now, lifting your spirits and your creativity. The odds are in favor of helping
others with the things you have figured out from your own challenges.
November 27 -- Mercury in Sagittarius Inconjunct Uranus in Taurus -- You may feel a little off-kilter on this day. There
could be some psychological incoherence, perhaps generating something like an indulgent mental loop. Sometimes balance can be restored with the most gentle push in the right direction. You'll recognize the right kind of pressure when you feel it. Unpleasant surprises could give way to decisions that improve your circumstances.
November 28 -- Mars in Gemini Trine Saturn in Aquarius - Venus in Sagittarius Inconjunct Uranus in Taurus -- The trine inspires enthusiasm and vitality, infusing your every thought and action with an extra spark. It also increases your reasoning abilities, and makes it
easier for you to act responsibly. The inconjunction may muddy the waters slightly, leaving you feeling somewhat confused or conflicted regarding your desire to expand into the unknown, and simultaneously preserve your foundations. Upsets in love or money are more likely. It is possible that these two aspects could influence separately, bringing awesomeness in one area and some jostling in another.
November 29 - 30 - Mercury in Sagittarius Opposing Mars in Gemini - Mercury in Sagittarius Square Neptune in Pisces - Venus in Sagittarius Sextile
Saturn in Aquarius -- The opposition may cause your energy to unexpectedly surge uncomfortably, leading to rash or clumsy action. The square could lead you to overlook important steps or details, as you may feel inclined to suddenly rush towards something you desire, but would otherwise cautiously approach with finesse. Fortunately, the sextile gives you perspective, and fills you with a sense of duty, responsibility, and the kind of clarity and discipline you would need to either avoid
a mess, or clean it up. The connection of Venus and Saturn could bring in something great, something new, or something you have been working on for a long time.
