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.
Venus is now at 17° Sagittarius and moves into Capricorn on November 11th. Venus feels comfortable in Capricorn as she is a friend of Saturn, the sign’s ruler. After the 11th of the month, it is a good time to look into your finances, investments and assets to make a determination for improvement in the future.
Mars is at the final degree of Cancer and goes into the sign of Leo on November 5th. Hot Mars feels at home in fire signs and is raring to go but does have a retrograde period coming up in early December, so there’s a glitch in the Mars machinery. Mars will go back into the sign of Cancer in early January 2025 through April 18th, 2025. This retrograde cycle will churn up a lot of energies that need to be re-directed during that retrograde period that begins on December 6, 2024 and ends on February 25, 2025. Watch what comes up in your plans and make the changes as you go along, it is a period of time to hone your skills and the tools of your trade.
Jupiter is retrograde and moves from 20 degrees 26’ in Gemini back to 17 degrees 19’ in Gemini. Jupiter retrograde is considered to be a force for good working behind the scenes to affect a future positive outcome. Jupiter does have a tendency to over commit and thereby scatters its energy in too many directions at once instead of focusing on a major task at hand. Those of you with planets or angles between 15 and 22 degrees in Gemini and in the mutable signs of Pisces, Virgo and Sag need to take note of that tendency and rein in some of your actions for a better overall outcome.
Saturn, the planetary task master, time lord and rule follower, goes into direct motion on November 15th at 12° Pisces 41’. Basically, he is powerful throughout the entire month as he begins and ends November at 12° Pisces 52’. Maintaining your routine and structure is very important right now as Saturn wants to maintain balance and correct action for effective positive outcomes.
Uranus is still retrograde at 25° Taurus 52’ and moves back to 24° Taurus 41’ during the month. This is close to the fixed star, Algol, considered to be a bad actor in the sky as it represents the severed head of Medusa. Yikes! It also represents the passion of feminine energy that can be used constructively or destructively. It can cause instability, problems with eyesight, betrayals or in the end a redemption of sorts according to the mythology of Perseus, Medusa and Andromeda. Tread carefully if you have any planets or angles around the 25th degree of the fixed signs, Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and Scorpio.
Neptune is also retrograde and moves from 27° Pisces 30’ back to 27° Pisces 9’. She is also in her stationary period as she goes direct on December 7th, the day after Mars goes retrograde. Neptune’s effects can run from total deception, delusional thoughts and addiction to sublime states of spiritual bliss, artistic inspiration and self-sacrifice for the higher good. Your choice, folks, we use the planetary energies to reflect our state of consciousness.
Pluto moves forward and out of the last degree of Capricorn and into Aquarius on November 19. He will then move through the sign of Aquarius for approximately the next 19 years. We will begin a new chapter in humanity’s evolution during that period. It’s time.

There may be a bit of a glitch in your progress as Mars will go retrograde in early December through the end of February of 2025. Be patient, it will work out fine in the late spring of 2025, it is just a few adjustments needed to the plan. It is possible that something regarding the family, your ancestors or real estate that demands your attention as Pluto enters your solar 4th house at the very bottom of your chart. Use the positive energies on the 1st, 2nd, 28th and 29th to further your aims.
Sagittarius — November 23-December 20: With Jupiter retrograde in the sign Gemini, he is opposite your sign. However, Venus is in your sign in your solar first house giving you some personal charisma and charm. It makes it a good time to enhance your wardrobe, get a new haircut or a makeover, just don’t go for any extremes.

Aquarius — January 21-February 19: This is a pivotal month for you as Pluto will be going into your sign and be transiting there for the next 19 years. Pluto dipped his toes into your sign in direct motion for the first 4 months of 2024 in direct motion so that is clue as to how Pluto works in your chart. The end of this year 2024, however, could be a bit stressful as Pluto is opposed by Mars, which will hit it 3 times between now and the end of April in 2025. It indicates you may have some anger or frustration coming up that you will have to learn to deal with constructively rather than seething internally or lashing out at who you believe to be at fault. Also, take active measure to improve your health now and in the future so you can burn off some of this energy. That’s a constructive way to use this Mars/Pluto vibe. The New Moon happens in your solar 10th house of public image and professional stature. This is good for a fresh start in some way so visualize your ongoing success with this new Moon cycle.
Pisces — February 20-March 20: With Saturn going direct in your sign and your solar 1st house, you have a turning point coming with Saturn there and Venus transiting in your solar 10th house. Time to flex your competency muscles and direct your energy to support yourself to get what you want professionally.
