Hey, friends.

Did you feel that shift in October? If you recall, our forecast divided October into two distinct categories – the first few weeks pleasant, then around the 19th, the intensity would ramp up. The change was very palpable for me and the people in my daily life. What happened for you?

November is similar, just a mirror image of last month. We’re still in ECLIPSE SEASON. So you’re likely to see a few more curve balls, challenges, or rocky days to navigate these next two weeks. After that, I expect things to ease up noticeably.  

As we’ve spoken about before, eclipses tend to usher unexpected events, significant beginnings, and major endings to our lives. They are the bookends for important “seasons of life.” And these are no run-of-the-mill eclipses. A number of other planets are present, upping the ante this time.

For this reason, I’ve kept our month overview short and added personal HOROSCOPES FOR EACH SIGN.

November 1-14

Our next two weeks are a lesson in surrender. It’s phenomenal to have so many events happening in our sky all at once. You might face some rocky moments, or feel your efforts arrested in some way. By “arrested” I mean:

• Unable to plan as usual, 
• Surprise / lack of control over how something’s playing out,
• Decreased energy or endurance, or
• Blocked from moving ahead, perhaps towards an important goal.

Things will even back out – that’s how the cycle works. Human lives are no different than the seasons of nature. There’s a divine plan in action for each of us. Isn’t it funny how we can all look back and recognize that, and feel so thankful for how things turned out? MIGHT WE START BELIEVING IN THAT PLAN WHILE FORWARD FACING? Like, 100% faith?!

The trees in fall do not cling to their leaves in fear, but instead let them go! Letting go is never about giving up faith, it’s surrendering to it. In perfect synchrony with this theme, the excerpt on the image below appeared in my daily reader yesterday:

November 14^th – Month’s End

I expect things to lighten up during the second half of November. November 14 & 15 bring us a little luck and signal “better times ahead.” In the days that follow, Venus, Mercury and the Sun all move from Scorpio into Sagittarius. Similar to last month, mid-month brings a very palpable swing in a totally new direction! This one you’ll like 🙂

My only caveat is a feisty Mercury-Mars opposition November 29. In the days surrounding the 29, do what you must to keep your cool.

HOROSCOPES

Be sure to READ THE HOROSCOPE FOR YOU RISING SIGN in addition to your Sun Sign! If you do not know what your Rising (aka Ascendant) Sign is, email me! 

Also, I did a horoscope related to this eclipse season back in May and you should revisit that horoscope which is still applicable as well: https://thecosmicgem.com/2022/05/15/astrology-update-mid-may-2022-how-will-the-taurus-scorpio-eclipses-affect-your-life-path/)

ARIES: You’re experiencing significant changes in your value system and complex emotional matters, affecting you and your relationships deeply. Keep working at self-worth and trust in your ability to go at things alone (becoming your own support system) when necessary. The progress you’re seeing / changes you’ve made in the realm of friendships, social groups and even your professional network is helping you redefine who you believe yourself to be. It’s most important right now that you continue building confidence and refining your understanding of “the new you.” Until that time, your vision of the future may be wonky. It needs time to align to the changes within. Moving quickly into a relationships or commitment might be premature.

TAURUS: These eclipses are shaking up (and shaping up) your sense of self and identity. Since 2018, Uranus has stirred up major shifts in your look, demeanor, work, and public visibility. It’s possible the universe is catching you up on a truckload of changes long overdue. Adjusting to all this and finding your footing again can be especially hard for the Taurus person, who places high value on stability. These eclipses draw particular emphasis to all the effort you give, whether that’s at home or in the workplace. Have you been rewarded for your reliability and all the ways you invest your time? Is your employer and each important relationship you’re in able to reflect / keep up with the changes in you? If not, a “come to Jesus” moment is inevitable.

GEMINI: Pivotal life experiences are digging up all that’s hidden in your subconscious, highlighting the importance of mental and spiritual health in your life. Your views on life itself, and the life approach that really fits your beliefs and opinions, is changing. You’re building a refined view of what’s authentic for you and are being prepped to play the game of life more skillfully. It’s important you stop standing in your own way or engaging in “escape behaviors” as what you need to do more clear. In life, we must always pick our battles, as no one will ever look everything the same way we do. That said, taking a stand becomes necessary when your mental, physical, spiritual and emotional wellbeing are on the line.  

CANCER: You’ve seen major changes in the groups you are a part of and the people you chose to spend time with. Identifying the people who are safe to “let in” is a serious matter for you – friends are like family and lovers rarely casual. The Cancer person normally keeps their circle small, but protects and serves those who enter like a fierce momma bear. These eclipses are helping you analyze how you engage in personal relationships. How is that shaped by the emotional experiences of your past, particularly those where others really let you down? You’re getting clear signs that it’s time to let your guard down. It’s never truly a matter of trusting others, but trusting yourself to make good decisions when necessary. You can do that now.

LEO: You’re experiencing major shifts in critical areas of life – your home life, work life, business and personal relationships. Look for significant beginnings and endings related to professional pursuits. How and where can you best serve your purpose in the world? Recent events are helping you discover more about what you offer, where your expertise lies, and where you fit in. Remember that any awakened understanding of self “out in the world” will affect everything, your home life, romances and partnerships too. You’ve become more business-like, objective even distanced from personal entanglements. The tests you’ve endured recently have a purpose – they’re helping you determine who, what, and where you want to put your energy moving forward.

VIRGO: The eclipses are bringing you a new perspective on life. You might feel called towards a new aspiration, which gives life greater meaning, or be learning skills for professional endeavor or task you’re entrusted with.  It’s been a challenge to integrate these new callings / tasks with the busy life you’d already built. Keep refining your priority list and learning how to care for YOURSELF in addition to pouring your energy outward. Down time, a good diet and exercise regimen should be near the top of your list. Saturn is in your 6th house right now, suggesting all this busy-ness is taking a toll on your body.

LIBRA: It’s a time of depth and complex emotional intensity for you. Some old order of your life has been dying away in order to make space for something new. Whatever losses you’ve endured are painful, but at the same time, promise to become the foundation for meaningful transformation of your life. As a side effect or totally separate matter, you may be facing some profound impact on your finances. The resources and support you previously depended upon have become unreliable or at best, big question marks. Your fun, freedom and expenditures may be curbed temporarily in an extreme way. But rest assured that sacrifices made now will prove worthwhile in the years ahead.

SCORPIO: The current astrology shines a spotlight on you, subjecting life to drastic change, in any area, at any moment! This can be challenging for the Scorpio person, who prefers to have a lot more control. Despite seeming chaos, know that destiny is helping things fall together, not apart. Partnerships and family ties might have been stressful or testing these last 2 years. You don’t know where things will land yet, making now a perfect time to build trust in yourself. You don’t need control, because you can manage anything life brings! Your best efforts are spent now working on that inner voice / the inner parent that comforts, calms and assures you. If you live with others, consider creating a private, peaceful space for only you that provides sanctuary when needed.  

SAGITTARIUS: Recent developments in your life have changed your daily life, routines, and responsibilities. This Mars retrograde impacts you heavily, and you may feel it impossible to put the pieces of life into one cohesive, sensible picture for the time being. For a Sag person in particular, this brings a high risk of burnout. Your focus should be getting through the next few months with your physical and mental health intact. Clean up your diet and add vitamins. (Junk food, sweets and caffeine seem to help but really work against you). Equally important is keeping your mind in today and today only. Every time you find your mind in the future, reel it in. 5-minute wellness windows throughout the day work wonders – sit in silence, stick your feet in a tub of warm water, gaze out the window, or do whatever brings you back to now, in your body, in this moment.

CAPRICORN: Life has introduced unusual new people, relationships and interests to your life these last few years. New connections – be it romantic interests, children, social or sports groups – plus any new hobbies you’re involved in are meant to break you out of old, rigid patterns in your life. You’re developing diversity and finding more ways to have fun. It can’t be work, work, work, all the time (even for Capricorn LOL)! It’s time to focus on the things and people that bring you joy. Financial resources might bring you some concern, but any budgeting strategies you create and stick to now will turn things around.

AQUARIUS: The last few years have brought shifts to nearly every area of your life. Currently, there is constant change and maybe some uncertainty concerning your family, native home, or place of residence. There are also vocational / work issues to contend with. While these cornerstone areas of outer life carry major importance,  the most significant thing that’s changing is YOU. You’re undertaking a tremendous amount of growth and self-development now. Saturn is calling you to take life and how you show up for it more seriously than before. Listen to Saturn’s call! Trust that any changes happening around you are what’s needed so that you can turn your focus within.

PISCES: You’ve had major developments in understanding the “message” you bring to the world, and improved your manner of sharing it. You’ve done a lot of reading, studying, organizing and other mental work recently, increasing your skillset and audience. Though your work might be practical – requiring you to communicate concrete, factual information – there’s something more intangible you provide.  Your access to profound insights about yourself and life itself offers greater depth to your work moving forward. Your power lies in learning to weave a magical, almost spiritual quality, into all you do.

Wisdom for the Month Ahead

In closing, I hope you remember as the month unfolds:

“There are seasons in our lives, just as there are seasons and cycles to nature. We wouldn’t think of pulling at the tiny blades of grass in early spring to force their growth. Neither would we chastise them for growing too slowly or wilting with the first of autumn.”

(adapted from Journey from the Heart, by Melody Beattie)

Trust the process.
