November 2024 Monthly Horoscopes by Jeanne

We begin November with a new Moon in Scorpio, a feminine, fixed water sign. It is happening in a part of the sky that is associated with the fixed star, Arcturus, Saraswati, the goddess of beautiful words, wisdom and knowledge along with Vayu, the god of the wind.

This is about using your wisdom, wit, charm and intuitive abilities to make your way through the world. There is quite a bit of sparkle and charm to this part of the sky so tap into that energy if you are feeling down or depressed right now.

The Sun and Moon are in a trine relationship with Saturn, the rule master, who is super powerful right now as he is about to go into direct motion on November 15 at 12 degrees of Pisces, a fellow water sign. This is a positive aspect for setting intentions for things to work out for the best possible outcome.

Mercury is in the last few degrees of Scorpio right now and making a trine to Mars at 29° Cancer. That makes for an easier time of communication over the first week of November as they continue that relationship as they both enter the fire signs of Sagittarius and Leo, respectively. However, Mercury gets weaker in Sag and Mars gets stronger in Leo as he likes fire signs very much. But still, they get along and you can make your points effectively. On a note of caution, the little dude, Mercury, is making an opposition aspect to Uranus right now, so some unexpected news is likely to be revealed through the weekend. Stay tuned.

Weekly Astrology Forecast — October 7, 2024 – October 13, 2024

Forecast

Here is the Ask the Astrologers Weekly Astrology Forecast for the week of October 7, 2024 – October 13, 2024:

We’ve got a lot going on this week, starting on Monday as the moon moves into Sagittarius, becoming the only planet in the Fire sign element for the remainder of the week. We’ve also got a planet changing signs (Mercury) and two planets changing direction (Jupiter and Pluto), a rare Yod configuration and a comet making its first appearance in the night sky.

On Tuesday, Mercury trines Jupiter and opposes Chiron well Venus trying to Mars. The trine to Jupiter is also a positive aspect, as Mercury and Jupiter are a natural planetary pair. Here we have two natural polarities — the natural rulers of the 3rd and 9th houses — joined together in harmony. We have Mercury — the planet associated with communications and ideas — trining Jupiter — the planet associated with benevolence, good will and generosity.

The month of October begins with an annual Solar Eclipse on October 2nd at 10 degrees 4’ of Libra, the cardinal, masculine, air sign. So, yes, the month’s energy will be colored by this eclipse and may feel somewhat strange or unsettled. The conjunction of the Sun and Moon, when close to either the vernal or the autumnal equinox, always produces a solar eclipse and this is the last one for the year 2024.

Mercury is within 1.5 degrees of this eclipse and just ahead of the Sun and Moon conjunction so communication is important at this time. It is wise to pay attention to what information comes into your sphere of influence, but do double check it for accuracy as Mercury is still considered within the combustion range with the Sun, which can make the information unreliable or incomplete, even though the little dude is quickly moving out of that orb of influence.

Libra is always about balance, harmony and relationships so pay attention to what is going on in your own partnership or marriage as the balance of power may be shifting. Mercury moves from 8 degrees Libra to 26 degrees Scorpio by October 31st. Therefore, your thoughts may become more intense after October 14th when Mercury enters Scorpio, a sign known for its intensity and drama.

Here is the Ask the Astrologers Weekly Astrology Forecast for the week of September 23, 2024 – September 29, 2024:

This week starts on Monday with Venus leaving Libra behind and moving into Scorpio. Venus is not always comfortable in Scorpio, the sign of its detriment. This placement is often misunderstood due to preconceived notions about how Venus (the planet associated with love, romance, affection and beauty) is supposed to behave.

There are many positive aspects with this placement, but because the dark side of Scorpio is prone to trust issues, jealousy, possessiveness and control, it can manifest as less than favorable. Still there’s more passion, depth, intensity and intimacy in this archetype than any other Venus placement, so don’t give into your fears. Let your guard down, open your heart, and be willing to take a walk on the wild side.

This week starts with Venus opposing Chiron and Mars squaring the North and South Nodes on Monday. The Venus / Chiron  opposition  describes a need to establish clearer boundaries and identify your own personal values reverberates. Are you struggling with doubts and insecurities about your own self-worth? Or are you striving to let go of associations that have held you back or prevented you from achieving personal fulfillment? These are Venus opposite Chiron motifs.

And then there’s the Mars / Nodal Square which can be volatile and unpredictable. In classical astrology, any planet squaring the Node is seen as being “at the bendings.” It’s said to indicate crisis, with emphasis on the concept of fate. As Mars represents energy, action and drive, this can be a high energy transit that manifests that translates as combative or explosive energies. Things can get heated — in both your personal relationships and on the planet — as Mars is also still out of bounds.

September 2024 monthly horoscopes

This month begins with a new Moon on September 2 at 11° Virgo 04′ and Uranus going stationery retrograde at 27° Taurus 15′. Both are in earth signs so there’s some natural between them but as Uranus rules unexpected events, rebellions, social consciousness, as well as earth changes and out of the blue big events, any of which can be more than a bit unsettling.

Uranus will back up over Algol — considered a very negative star in the Perseues constellation — for the 2nd time next month, and will cross it for the third and final time in May of 2025. So we still have some tumultuous times ahead, as the upheaval lasts through that time period. It will affect the fixed signs between 20 and 29 degrees the most, so if you have a planet, the ascendant or the angular house cusp within those degrees, look out, you might have some big surprises in store.

There’s a partial solar eclipse on the full Moon of September 17th, at 25° Pisces 41′ with the Moon conjunct Neptune. This has a spacey kind of energy with the Neptune vibe but the Moon is also hemmed in between the North Node and Saturn, two malefics, creating a bottle neck of energy that doesn’t express with ease, like between a rock and a hard place. With Neptune in the mix there could very well be some kind of deception going on. Just keep breathing as this will pass.

On a lighter note, Venus is in Libra, a sign she rules and is now appearing as the brilliant and beautiful evening star, visible right after sunset in the western sky. She will be moving towards an air trine with Jupiter in Gemini between September 11 through the 21st. It’s a great time for social events but be careful about overindulging in everything pleasurable! But how bad can that be?

This week starts on Monday as Mercury trines Chiron, with the Moon joining in later in the day. This transit can It brings elements like compassion, humility and tolerance to the mix, which makes social interactions so much more pleasant. As both of Mercury and Chiron are in fire signs, the desire to take action and make things happen is strong.

And when you add the Moon to the mix, the capacity for understanding others and being able to put yourself in their shoes — as well as the ability to express genuine caring and compassion for those who aren’t always so easy to love — is greatly enhanced.

This week starts on Monday with a last quarter Moon at 3° Gemini. The last quarter moon is tied to career, reputation, professional aspirations, authority figures and how you may be perceived in the outer world.

While Gemini isn’t traditionally associated with these areas, there are plenty of positive attributes associated with the Gemini Moon. Insatiable curiosity for one thing. Playfulness for another. Wit, charm and charisma for a few more. Communications, ideas and plans are big. It’s also good for socializing and interacting with others. These are all areas that you’d be well served to pay attention to as we start the new week.

Forecast

Here is the Ask the Astrologers Weekly Astrology Forecast for the week of August 19, 2024 – August 25 , 2024:

This week begins on Monday with a retrograde Mercury conjuncting the Sun. This is an inferior conjunction, meaning that it’s passing between the Earth and the Sun. It’s also “combust,” or so close to the Sun that it’s obscured by the Sun’s rays. The exact conjunction is referred to by classical astrologers as “cazimi,” which means in the heart of the Sun.

This is a powerful condition, with the cazimi planet’s influence generally seen as heightened and energized by the Sun. But because Mercury’s retrograde and is essentially “hidden” by the Sun, this aspect can be somewhat problematic. The main thing to watch for is information that is hidden or lacking, which can result in making ill-informed decisions, especially given Mercury’s retrograde status.

Here is the Ask the Astrologers Weekly Astrology Forecast for the week of August 12, 2024 – August 18, 2024:

This week starts on Monday with Venus inconjuncting the North Node, while simultaneously semi-sextiling the South Node. This aspect can see you feeling at odds between what you value (Venus) and what you see as your life’s purpose (the North Node). The key with any inconjunct aspect is to find a way to make adjustments to satisfy both areas. In this case it calls for you to align your ideals with what you see as your calling.

This is a good time to get out under the stars for what is usually a site to behold: the Perseid Meteor Showers, which are visible at this time every year. They should be visible from around 10 pm until sunrise, after the Moon has set.

The same can be said for the next few days as well; you should be able to see up to almost 100 meteors per hour in the early morning hours of Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (especially just before dawn. 

The Moon is in Scorpio on Tuesday until around 9 am when it goes void of course for an hour and then moves in the Sagittarius. There’s not a lot happening with that Moon other than a square to Mercury which can briefly exacerbate problems with communications. Remember that Mercury’s retrograde, and when you pair it with a square (90° aspect) involving the Moon, you’re likely to see people getting defensive or taking things too personally.

Forecast

Here is the Ask the Astrologers Weekly Astrology Forecast for the week of Aug 5, 2024 – August 11, 2024:

We start this week with Venus moving into Virgo on Monday, just as Mercury — also in Virgo — goes stationary retrograde. Venus is said to be debilitated in Virgo, as it is the sign opposite Venus’ natural Exaltation, Pisces. As such, Venus is not particularly comfortable in Virgo, where the naturally romantic, self-indulgent, partnership-oriented archetype struggles to express itself through the analytical, perfectionistic, service-oriented Virgo filter.

Venus is the “love” planet, representing how you give and receive love and affection, as well as what you find aesthetically appealing. What’s attractive to you? And how do you express love and affection? It also rules “money” as in earning potential and income, how you handle money, what you spend it on, and whether you’re attracting it to you or seeing it run through your fingers like water.

August 2024 Monthly Horoscopes by Jeanne

The month begins with a new Moon on August 4th and a Mercury retrograde on August 5th, and a conjunction with Mercury and Venus on August 7th.

The new Moon happens at 12° Leo 34’, where the Sun also resides as both the Sun and the Moon are conjunct during any new Moon. This gives one an opportunity to focus on the self, your own personal goals and your desires so give yourself some time for introspection about what you want to manifest in your life. Make it so.

Venus is moving towards a conjunction with Mercury in the first week of the month. Since Venus and Mercury are friendly with each other, this conjunction provides opportunities for improvement in the areas of communication, travel, social connections and relationships. Mercury and Venus will have an exact conjunction on August 7th at 3° Virgo.

Mercury does well in Virgo as he rules that sign but Venus isn’t so comfy there as it is opposite her sign of exaltation in Pisces and Virgo energy tends to be picky and fussy about details. It’s a very princess and the pea kind of energy, if you remember that fairy tale. Just be aware of this tendency and plan to temper your annoyances about things not being perfect.

Mercury goes retrograde on August 5th, at 4° Virgo and goes back to 21° Leo on August 28th as that is the day he goes direct and proceeds to move over those degrees he retrograded over through the 10th of September.
