November 2020 ~ FINALLY! SPEED & MOMENTUM RETURN!

 

In a year that has had themes of uncertainty, delay, and introspection, November is a major turning point. This month marks the end of the spree of personal planet retrogrades that dominated the year (3 Mercury retros plus Venus AND Mars). PLUS, Eclipse season wakes everything up with a major push into new and possibly surprising directions.

 

The mood of the month changes dramatically as it goes on. The earlier part is heavy with the emotions and internal processing of retrograde and Scorpio energies that still prevail at that time. But with every day we march on after Nov. 15, we shake off the sleepiness and chaotic fog that has made this year feel like a long dream. Clarity, oomph, motivation, optimism, momentum all will increase every day after mid-month and continue to expand through December.

 

The tensions of the early part of the month have a chance to wind down just in time for wild news and trajectory shifts from the Eclipse series. Similar to October, in November we again start the month with intensity and end the month with more. November 30 brings a Lunar Eclipse at 8° of Gemini (the second Eclipse in the series is at 23° of Sagittarius on December 14). This set of Eclipses has been and will continue to be very centered around the acquiring and sharing information, social interacting, education, workplace environment, mobility, travel, and international relations and experiences.

 

The way things may seem earlier in November may drastically and suddenly change into new possibilities at the end of November and in December and beyond. If something comes up to make a big decision about in the earlier part of the month, know that more news is likely coming in towards the end of the month and December as the Eclipses bring their pieces (plus the radical combination of Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius is in December and that is sure to bring some wild surprises that may include necessary info for your decision-making process.)

 

The first half of the month with Mercury and Mars still heavy with retrograde will continue to point towards focus on the inner world, the world of emotion and wiring that brings about certain patterns of experiences.

It is a still a time for things unresolved to come back in for resolution and for repressed emotions to manifest through notable experiences. Mercury goes retrograde October 13 at 11° of Scorpio back to 26° of Libra — Pre-transit shadow period starts September 24, Mercury goes direct November 3 and post-transit shadow lasts until November 20. This transit tends to bring changes to plans, confusion, and miscommunications. Last-minute opportunities may present and flexibility helps to make this time smoother. Rigid schedules and solid plans often get jostled. The more open you can be to the flow, the easier this transit can be. Plans may be easier to make as the month progresses or into December.

 

THIS IS still NOT A TIME TO FORCE anything and to be extra careful about how you use the powerful force or repressed emotions that will likely be spouting out like an active volcano (or how you handle others who have this going on). While you may notice momentum restart mid-month and after, it is still important to follow the flow, not try to direct or force it.

 

We have had many months (October and now November included) where we have more challenging aspects compared to the sweet ones. While this can definitely bring a depressing focus on limitations and scarcity, true alchemy comes from the converting of this lead to gold. My recommendation in October of scheduling yourself as light as possible to deal with the many things that could come up and need your focus and to commit to giving yourself time and space to work with emotions rather than fighting with others or making rash decisions, also still stands in November. If ever there were a time for The Presence Process by Michael Brown, it would be now!

 

The key note of 2020 of RESTRICTION will likely start to open up starting very soon and the more you tune in to use the restriction to your benefit, the more you will fly when interesting new path become possible. Heavy focus of outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto) in restrictive Capricorn have showed us the flaws in all of our individual, relationship, community, and global systems. As Jupiter and Saturn move into Aquarius in December, innovative and surprising solutions will start to shift into a world of new possibilities on all levels. Rather than avoid the strong emotional topics that come up before then, diving instead right into presences and integration, can help you make the most of the major shift that is coming soon. Using the restriction for your benefit through resourcefulness and discipline will likely be well-rewarded.

 

 

Mars will be retrograde from September 9 - November 14 with the pre-shadow transit starting July 26 and post shadow going until first week in January 2021. Mars in retrograde can bring amazing things planned and worked for into super-easy fruition. The thing to be careful of is trying to force things into manifestation when it is not flowing. Your discernment process gets a boost now as the Universe educates on when to stop pushing. The education mechanism tends to be themes of frustration and anger. When you notice these coming up, stop, drop, and tune in. The positive pairings all in Earth signs combined with Mars retro can bring “comfortable productivity”, as long as you carefully follow the flow and stop immediately when red lights come.

 

To help you understand and work with Mars retro energies as they persist through mid-month then linger into early January 2021,

Here is my youtube video on Mars Retrograde.

 

 

Sweet boosts are more likely on or around these days: 9, 10, 12, 14, 18, 19, 23, 26, 27, 28, and 30.

 

Drama or stress are more likely in the days around: 1, 3, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 15, 17, 19, 25, 27, 29, and 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 1 — Mercury in Libra Square Saturn in Capricorn — Because of Mercury making this aspect while in retrograde and so close to moving direct (November 3), this aspect happens twice in the first week of November (also on Nov. 6). Challenges to communication and transportation often come up during this transit. Harsh criticism and negativity are more likely. It is not usually the best time for negotiating or finding solutions. It is, however, fantastic for taking a “realistic” stock of a situation as powers of a critical eye could be more pronounced in a positive way in this expression. Difficult news or frames of mind may bring the feeling of heaviness and hopelessness. These energies will have some antidotes later in the month. For now, just remember that this, too, shall pass and that bluer skies and silver linings are likely to be right around the corner if you make up your mind to look for them.

 

November 1 — Venus in Libra Opposing Chiron in Aries — Someone may do something that really makes you mad now. The feeling of victimhood is always more likely with a difficult angle with Chiron, the wounded healer. Venus makes it more likely that love, money, and self-esteem will be wrapped up in the situation. Topics of over-giving and ingratitude are likely to be at the core of anything that comes up. Even though it may be uncomfortable, you could make your mind up about something that have been thinking about doing for a long time.  The stars will be better later in the month for taking the actions that come from what you think you decide now. More information is coming so don’t let your strong emotion spur you to hasty or reckless action, even if it seems appopriate.

 

November 3 — Mercury Direct at 25° of Libra — post-shadow period until November 20 — Communication and travel (near and far) will likely see many hiccups now. The fact that Election Day in the U.S. is happening on this day of major chaos and confusion increases the odds of a contested outcome or strong responses to whatever happens. Clarity may be postponed and emotions will run VERY high.  It definitely could be a better time to hunker down at home than to be in crowds or traveling around if you can help it. If you are heading out to the polls, be extra careful as you drive, walk, bike, or however you are getting there and in the parking lot. Plans made for this time or the way things seemed that they would be are likely to have a surprising reversal. Waiting for a while before making any decisions from what seems to be now would be wise.

 

November 6 — Mercury in Libra Square Saturn in Capricorn — See description under November 1 listing

 

November 7 — Sun in Scorpio Inconjunct Mars in Aries — See bottom of this report for info about the energies of Inconjunct angles.

 

November 9 — Venus in Libra Opposing Mars in Aries — A little clash in love or money is likely now. Since both Venus and Mars are inner planets, it will likely pass quickly but there are other longer-term aspects at play now that could be redefining your relationship experience.

 

November 9-10 — Sun in Scorpio Trine Neptune in Pisces — Transcendent understandings can come now and be much needed to give a positive or peaceful light to things going on now. Going deep is rewarded now as more intricate layers of a situation can reveal hidden sweet spots.

 

November 11 — Venus in Libra Inconjunct Neptune in Pisces — See bottom of this report for info about the energies of Inconjunct angles.

 

November 12 — Jupiter and Pluto Conjunct in Capricorn  — for the last time! This powerful and rare aspect also occurred on April 4 and June 30 of this year. The combination has been a major part of the wild world changes. This aspect last happened in 2008 and was part of the instigation of the financial market breakdown. We can see the similarities between that time and now and those energies are embodied in the combination of these heavy-hitter karmic titans. Although what happened in each of these market melt-downs was stressful and difficult, many important and positive shifts came (and will continue to come) from the testing of systems that were/are in need of major upgrades. It will likely be very intense again with the final aspect but the chance for solutions is very high as the story starts to shift onto a different path (away from Capricorn and into Aquarius).

 

November 13 — Mars Direct at 15° of Aries — Ambitions may start a rapid return starting around now as Mars, the ruler of get-up-and-go turns direct. It will take until early January to be completely clear of the retrograde layers but the odds are very high for things to start revving to race full speed and much momentum can show up quickly.  Extra aggression and frustration are always still a potential now and as the energies wear off and forcing anything is still not indicated if it feels like there is still resistance. See the section of this report that list info and links for more resources about how to navigate lingering Mars retro energies.

 

November 14-15 — New Moon at 23° of Scorpio — New beginnings come to relationships, finances, family resources, intimacy, spirituality, psychology and other Scorpio topics. Time for New Moon Wishes, especially on the topics of Scorpio (see more in blog called Making Powerful New Moon in Scorpio Wishes). This moon has extra positive power from the two beautiful aspects with the Sun at this time (see below).

 

November 14 — Sun in Scorpio Sextile Pluto AND Jupiter in Capricorn — Powerful and enriching insights and experiences can be triggered by this sequence of aspects (supercharged even more by the New Moon occurring the same day). Financial or other support may boost you or your ideas to a new level and the power of partnerships and collaboration could be quite profound at this time.

 

November 15 — Mercury in Scorpio Inconjunct Chiron in Aries — Communicating your exciting insights from the New Moon might not go as planned but this is a minor nuisance compared to the long-lasting promise coming from what you may figure out or have come to you. Also see bottom of this report for info about the energies of Inconjunct angles.

 

November 15-16 — Venus in Libra Square Pluto AND Jupiter in Capricorn — This double whammy can bring stress and conflict to love, money, or inner certainty. Exaggerations or other half-truth’s that may have been shared recklessly could blow up in a big way. Be extra careful now to give care and authenticity to anything you say publicly or privately at this time.

 

November 17 — Mercury in Scorpio Opposing Uranus in Taurus — Nervous anxiety, erratic behavior, interrupted travel, technology issues and surprising news are all more likely now. Distraction will abound. On the plus side, creative juices and random delightful insights or experiences could occur. Lively debates are also an increased possibility and as long as the topic isn’t anything that anyone involved takes personally, the exchange could be quite fun and rewarding.

 

November 18-19 — Sun in Scorpio Sextile Saturn in Capricorn — Signs of positive and permanent shifts could come from this aspect. In a year that has been laden with uncertainty and delays, this aspect combined with the lessening of personal planet retrograde energies gives extra open light for the new and better to open up in long-lasting ways.

 

November 19 — Venus in Libra Square Saturn in Capricorn — Not everyone is excited by the progress of the others they know. This might be extra true at this time. Insights you have or a path you are deciding to move along might not feel supported by others, or you could feel great about your new path and others bring emotional support, but the financial piece may not yet be clicking.

 

November 20 — Mercury Retrograde Post-Shadow Phase Ends — Mercury Direct phase receives extra oomph from now into the middle of January 2021. Making plans and doing other Mercury-related things could gain momentum.

 

November 22 — Mercury in Scorpio Inconjunct Mars in Aries — See bottom of this report for info about the energies of Inconjunct angles.

 

November 23 — Mercury in Scorpio Trine Neptune in Pisces — Your inner work or financial projects could have some Divine support right now. Magical money manifestations or psychological/spiritual breakthroughs are more likely now.

 

November 25 — Venus in Scorpio Inconjunct Chiron in Aries — See bottom of this report for info about the energies of Inconjunct angles.

 

November 26 — Sun in Sagittarius Trine Chiron in Aries —  This sweet aspect marks the beginning of a stream of positive fire connections over the upcoming weeks. Inspiration, impetus, lucky breaks, positivity are all increased in possibility now and beyond. Making yummy lemonade out of lemons from the past seems more possible now.

 

November 27 — Mercury in Scorpio Sextile Pluto in Capricorn —  Opportunities may open up in a sudden and magical way! News of financial or other support could come in now. Breakthroughs or gifts related to your father, boss, or other father/authority figure are more likely now.

 

November 27 — Venus in Scorpio Opposing Uranus in Taurus — This crazy aspect often brings surprise and exciting romantic experiences. It is a very interesting time to be on the dating scene. The aspect also favors money coming in out of the blue. Stay aligned with your intuition and synchronicity to make the most of the potentials. There are some times when this aspect brings an unpleasant jolt in love or money so keep that in your awareness as you hold the vision for the positive potentials :)

 

November 28 — Neptune Direct at 18° of Pisces — The movement of Neptune into its direct phase can bring more clarity and the capacity to do something with ideals and dreams that have been swirling in your internal world.

 

November 28 — Mercury in Scorpio Sextile Jupiter in Capricorn — This is another aspect that can bring positive and permanent shifts. Often it brings an opportunity that has to be acted upon for its richness to be fully experienced.

 

November 29 — Sun in Sagittarius Inconjunct Uranus in Taurus — See bottom of this report for info about the energies of Inconjunct angles.

 

November 30 — Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse at 8° of Gemini — and Mercury in Scorpio Sextile Saturn in Capricorn — Part two of the storylines opened up by the start of the Gemini/Sagittarius eclipse cycle in June/July of this year comes in now. Fullness, completion, drama, accomplishment or fruition in the areas ruled by Gemini are rich with possibilities now. Communication and transportation (including devices and modes of travel), travel, relatives, writing/editing, are some topics that are likely to factor in strongly to the crossroads that are occurring now. Major trajectory shifts often occur at eclipse time and you may find yourself heading in a surprising new direction in one or more areas of life. I talk about what other areas of life are likely to come into the forefront for each sign in my November 2020 Horoscopes on Youtube at: www.AnnieHelpsYouTV.com

 

Inconjunct angles:

 

There are quite a few of this angles throughout the month. I mention each of them above. Here is what to expect around the dates that they are listed…

In the days around planets making this aspect expect awkwardness. Not seeing eye to eye with someone or feeling overlooked is common, as is feeling generally disconnected and unheard. Taking things personally that weren’t meant that way or wrapping too much ego in the situation can create or add to the issue. The annoyances usually pass quickly and the less you make of them, usually the better as any attempt to engage is misunderstood or causes more issues. I always love EFT (the Emotional Freedom Technique) for the weird feelings that tend to come up with these angles.
