October-November Horoscopes!
A quick glance at what's happening in your world

October - November 2011

 

ARIES

If you were born March 21-25 you have been pummeled over the past several years by Pluto, Saturn and now Uranus. If you were born on March 21-23, Uranus will conjunct your Sun through February 2012, bringing unexpected events to your life, changes and a strong desire for personal freedom to express yourself in ways that are unique to you as an individual. If you were born March 26-28, Pluto will square your Sun the last quarter of 2011. If you were born before these dates, Pluto has already crossed your Sun and after the above dates, Pluto will eventually create a square to your Sun. The further out you were born, the further away this transit is. Pluto will be in Capricorn through 2024. Pluto-Sun transits often change or transform situations, or partners in your life. Pluto-Sun transits often seem to bring a crisis, either in your personal life or business, but your ambition will be high. Pluto is the ultimate planet of change and transformation, and after Pluto crosses your Sun, individuals often feel they have gone through a period of major change in their life. Most of them report a change for the better in the end.

Saturn will move from 19-28 degrees between October and December 31, 2010. You will be affected if you were born April 7-19. Saturn opposing Sun transits often weed out relationships that no longer serve a purpose. Otherwise, Sun-Saturn oppositions create delay, frustrations and obstacles. Occasionally, this signifies a health problem, and is often connected with stress, tiredness and a feeling of being world weary. Those born April 8-11 will experience Sun-Saturn oppositions in October, April 12-15 in November, and April 16-19 will experience this in December.
During October Venus, the planet of love and money will transit your eighth house of sex, and other people's money. It will give you a slight lift in these areas and help with creative ways to make money. Mars, the other planet connected to your love life will be in your fifth house of love affairs until November 11. This happens only every two years, so if you are single it is a great time to meet someone new. By October 24, the Sun, Mercury and Venus are all zooming through your eighth house, placing a focus on your sex life, and corporate money. The eighth house can also indicates surgery, lawsuits and inheritance, but it would take more than these fast moving planets in your chart to create a situation like that.

The October new moon on October 26, falls in your eighth house of sex and other people's money placing a focus on these areas. The eighth house is also the house of change and transformation, and can signify personal changes that lie ahead.

In November, the planets start to shift into Sagittarius, beginning with Mercury and Venus on the 3rd. Sagittarius is a compatible sign for Aries and this is a great placement for Venus. At some point this month you may plan a trip. On November 12, Mars leaves your fifth house to enter your house of health and work. It will remain here until July of 2012, retrograding in January 2012. Use the rest of the year to accomplish what your want in these areas, because it will become harder to do so when Mars retrogrades.

The November full moon on November 10, falls in your second house of money and it is in this area you will be focused at this time.

 

TAURUS

Jupiter, the planet of gain and expansion entered your first house in June 2011. If you were born between April 21-May 1, Jupiter has conjuncted your Sun this year. If you were born after May 1, Jupiter will conjunct your Sun mid-March on in 2011. Jupiter-Sun transits only occur every 12 years, so be prepared to take advantage of this lucky transit. Jupiter-Sun transits represent a time when life can become easier, and you may feel a certain amount of luck at hand. Opportunities come your way during this time. At the very least, it is a form of personal protection if you are experiencing otherwise harder and more difficult transits. All Taureans will experience this Jupiter-Sun transit again whether you have already experienced it or not, as Jupiter retrogrades back to the 0 degree mark. During October Jupiter is between 5-8 degrees affecting those born April 28-25, November Jupiter is conjunct the Sun of those born April 24-21, and those lucky Taureans born April 20-23 will have Jupiter conjunct their Sun late November through January 2012. Jupiter goes direct on Christmas Day, increasing its power and ability to bring opportunity your way, and from here it will move though the sign of Taurus hitting everyone born under the sign of the Bull at some point.
Venus in Scorpio enters your seventh house of partnerships from mid-October on. By month's end both the Sun and Mercury are moving through your house of partnerships and relationships placing a great deal of focus on those individuals closest to us. Partners are considered both personal and professional. Mars, the planet of action transits your fourth house through November 11. The fourth house relates to the home and personal foundation. Sometimes the fourth house can be considered the 'end of the matter.' You could be working on your home, either literally, or figuratively. By month's end we have a New Moon is Scorpio on October 26, at 3 degrees of Scorpio. Your focus at this time will be on partners and partnerships. Someone may initiate something toward you.

By early November Mercury and Venus enter Sagittarius, your eighth house. The eighth house of your chart relates to sex, other people's money and corporate money. It is also the house of transformation and change. Occasionally you can hear of a death, be involved in a lawsuit or have surgery, but those incidents do not generally occur unless something else in your chart points to it.

On November 12, Mars, the planet of action enters Virgo your fifth house of children, social activity, and love affairs! Mars is going to be in this placement for a very long time! Mars usually spends about 40-50 days in each sign, but Mars in Virgo will move slowly and retrograde on January 24, 2012. At that time it will retrace it's steps back through Virgo until it goes direct mid-April. It will remain in Virgo until July 2012! That's a long time for the planet of action to spend in your fifth house!


 

GEMINI

If you were born under the sign of the twins, you may have connected with a former love interest, or you may in the future depending upon what day you were born. Saturn, which rules the past, will be transiting your fifth house of love affairs until fall of 2012. The Sun is lighting up your fifth house as well through October 23. On October 24, the Sun, Mercury and Venus will all be transiting your sixth house of work and health matters focusing your attention in that area.

On October 26, we have a New Moon that will fall in your sixth house of work as well. This is an auspicious time to begin a diet or workout program.

Mars, the planet of action, and God of War is transiting your third house through November 11, placing a focus on ideas, travel, co-workers, relatives and immediate family members or neighbors. Mars enters Virgo, your fourth house on November 12, where it will remain through July of 2012. The reason Mars will transit this house for so long is the fact that in January, Mars will retrograde. This is a planetary phenomenon that occurs approximately every two years. You will make many changes in your home and personal foundation during this period and some of the decisions will be pivotal.

November 3, Venus and Mercury enter Sagittarius, changing the Mercurial energy as well as love energy. Both planets enter your seventh house of partners and partnerships, as well as marriage until month's end. Your focus will change toward this direction at this time. On November 10, we have a Full Moon in Taurus at 18 degrees. This full moon will fall in your twelfth house. The twelfth house rules the subconscious mind, including things that are secret and hidden. It has been called the house of 'self undoing,' especially if you are prone to this type of thing. It rules seclusion, Dr. visits and hospitals. Sometimes, a full moon in the twelfth is a time for being in seclusion by choice or by necessity. Often issued buried in the subconscious mind come up at this time. It can be a time of spiritual illumination.

 

CANCER

If you were born June 22-28 you have been pummeled by Saturn, Pluto and Uranus - the big three. It is likely you have gone through many trials and setbacks during this time. A time of greater stability is close, as well as a time you can relax without so many unexpected things happening. If you were born July 13-17, Saturn will square your Sun mid-October, mid-November. Bad relationships may end during this time, and many changes can occur in your home and personal foundation. Your vitality may be low and you could experience a breakdown in your health if other things point in that direction. (This does not mean everyone will have bad heath!) If your health is good you may feel more tired than you have in years. After mid-November your vitality will pick up and you should have reached decisions in several areas of your life by now.

November's Full Moon occurs on November 10, in Taurus, your third house, ruling ideas, travel and immediate family members, as well as co-workers and neighbors. Your attention will be focused on these matters at this time. Mid to late October three planets will be turning your focus toward your social life and love affairs or children. Mercury, Venus and as of October 24, the Sun will be transiting your fifth house! This is the time to meet someone new or take existing relationships to a higher level. You could spend time with children. This may be one of the most favorable periods for your love/social life. On October 26, a New Moon falls at three degrees of Scorpio in your fifth house of love affairs. Now is the time to socialize, meet friends and potential new lovers.

By November 3, Venus and Mercury enter Sagittarius, your sixth house of work. These two planets will push your focus toward work, well being and health matters over the next 29 days.

November 12, Mars enters Virgo, your third house, and here it will remain for a very long time. The third house rules speech and communication, travel, relatives and immediate family members, and neighbors. It is likely you will have more interaction than at other times and your mind will be active. Mars will remain in Virgo until July, as it retrogrades next year, and doesn't go direct until Spring.

 

LEO

If you were born during the final degrees of Leo, August 20-23, you have been experiencing the transit of Neptune opposing your Sun for the past several years. Relationships, partnerships and other situations may have become murky and disoriented during this time and some of them may have faded out. Neptune has a dissolving effect, and this transit represents major lifetime change. You are currently experiencing the final swing of this murky transit, and by February 2012 when Neptune moves into Pisces you will begin to see your situation with much more clarity.
From mid-month on Mercury and Venus transit your fourth house, which rules the home and foundation. You may find yourself spending more time at home or spending on the home. Sometimes we begin new endeavors at this time!

October 26, brings a New Moon in Scorpio at 3 degrees, falling in your fourth house. You may start something new, or be involved with family or home.

By November 3, Mercury and Venus enter Sagittarius and your fifth house. This will change the energy from intense to lighthearted. The ruler of Sagittarius is Jupiter, the planet of gain and expansion and you will spend the next 29 days with a focus on children, your social life/love life and creativity. You may mingle more, and under the right circumstances, if your natal chart points to it, meet someone special. You will be focused on friends and entertainment throughout much of November.

November 12, Mars enters Virgo, your second house, and here it will remain for a very long time. The second house rules money, earned income and sometimes self-image. Mars will remain in Virgo until July, as it retrogrades next year, and doesn't go direct until Spring. With Mars in the second house you may have opportunities to make money, and focus on money matters, but you may also want to watch your checkbook. Mars in the second house usually means you are spending money!

 

VIRGO

If you were born August 29-31 you have Jupiter trine your Sun in October. This is a favorable influence, and often a time in your life when things go your way. It can lead to travel, advancement and new relationships. If you were born August 24-28 Jupiter will trine your Sun during November. If you are a Virgo born on a different date, Jupiter will trine your Sun at some point during the first half of 2012, making for some positive and fun times in 2012. If nothing else, Jupiter serves as a form of 'personal protection.'

Mid-month on, Venus and Mercury are in your third house which rules short travel, mental activities, friends, neighbors and co-workers. Communication of all types will be important to you this month. On October 26, there is a New Moon in Scorpio which also falls in your third house. You may spend time with relatives or hear news about family members. November 24, the Sun enters your third house as well, placing three out of ten planets in your third house. You will be mentally activated!

By November 3, Mercury and Venus enter Sagittarius and your fourth house. This will change the energy from intense to lighthearted. The ruler of Sagittarius is Jupiter, the planet of gain and expansion and you will spend the next 29 days with a focus on home, family, and enjoying the personal foundation you have built for yourself. You will be in the mood to entertain at home.

November 12, Mars enters Virgo, your first house, and here it will remain for a very long time. The first house rules you as an individual and things that affect you personally. This is the start of a new two year Mars cycle and Mars in your sign usually means that you become very busy. Sometimes you begin new activities. You may have a few false starts with situations or people as Mars retrogrades in late January 2012. When Mars retrogrades energy becomes more subtle and sometimes projects slow down. Mars retrogrades about every two years. The last time the planet of action retrograded it was in Leo, December of 2009.

Mars will remain in Virgo until July, and doesn't go direct until April 14, 2012 at three degrees of Virgo. It retrogrades January 24, 2012, and those Virgos most affected will have a personal planet being aspected by 23 degrees of Virgo, or born August 15-20.


 

LIBRA

If you are a Libra born September 24-October 16, you probably feel you have been battered by the planets. Libra is being squared by Pluto, opposed by Uranus and conjuncted by Saturn. All of this makes for situations involving major life changes, some of them not easy. If you were born September 24-29, Pluto, the planet of changes beyond your control is moving on. Saturn has moved away from your Sun as well. That's 2 out of 3. If you were born September 24-27 Uranus is opposing your Sun at this time, and through February 2012, creating many changes, especially in the area of relationships and partnerships. Look for unexpected twists and turns to occur during this period. Uranus is all about freedom, and is in fact called the planet of 'freedom at any cost.' Now is the time to free yourself from situations or people that are repressive to you. Just don't throw out the baby with the bath water. If you were born October 14-19 Saturn is conjuncting your Sun during October or November. Saturn causes delays, restrictions and limitations. Saturn-Sun is often a major lifetime turning point, and it is time to recreate yourself. Sometimes people, situations and things are removed from our life at this time. Focus on renewing yourself and this too shall pass. Saturn conjuncts your Sun every 30 years.

Mercury and Venus are transiting your second house of money during October, giving a slight edge in money matters. A New Moon falls in your second house of money on October 26, and it is here your energy will be focused at this time.

By November 3, Venus and Mercury enter your third house ruling communications of all types, short trips, friends, neighbors, co-workers and immediate family members, turning your attention to the people around you and placing a focus on day to day communication. You could decide to increase your knowledge in some matter or take a short trip. All in all the energy will be lighter than October.

November 12, Mars enters Virgo, your twelfth house, and here it will remain for a very long time. The twelfth house rules things that are hidden, Dr.'s, hospitals, and your own subconscious mind. Sometimes action is carried out to avoid opposition, and sometimes there are secret intrigues. The twelfth house rules seclusion and you may want to spend time alone during this period. Depending upon your basic nature, the twelfth house is sometimes called, 'the house of self-undoing.' Pay attention to your own subconscious motivations. You can also reach psychological breakthroughs and have some ah-ha moments. If you ever desired to seek counseling, now would be the time. This is the start of a new two year Mars cycle, and when Mars retrogrades late January 2012, energy becomes more subtle and sometimes projects slow down. Mars retrogrades about every two years. The last time the planet of action retrograded it was in Leo, December of 2009. Mars will finally leave Virgo July of 2012.

 

SCORPIO

If you were born November 19-22, Neptune is squaring your Sun. Neptune is the planet of illusion, delusion, confusion and lack of clarity. You may be going through a period where your home life, or your basic foundation and everything in it lacks focus. This period actually started several years ago, and it has been a long road. Certain things, situations and people may have just dissolved out of your life. You will regain your clarity, and you situation will become clear shortly. By February 4, 2012, Neptune moves into the sign of Pisces for the next 15 or so years, and this period will soon be over.

Jupiter is currently in your seventh house of partners and will remain here until mid-June of 2012. Whatever Jupiter touches, it expands and your seventh house rules partners, partnerships, and marriage. If you are in a relationship it could go to a new level, and sometimes we meet significant others with this transit. It is also excellent for business partnerships.

Mercury and Venus are transiting your first house during October. Venus enters our first house for one month every year, and this is the period we are considered to be at our most attractive to others. The New Moon on October 26 falls in your first house as well, and new moons generally have to do with new beginnings.

By November 3, Venus and Mars enter Sagittarius and this will change the Mercurial energy to lighter and happier - much different from Scorpio. Sagittarius rules your second house of money and this will give you a slight edge throughout the month.

Mars, the action planet is transiting your eleventh house of friends, hopes and wishes as well as corporations on November 11. During this time you will focus on group matters and can make headway. Wherever Mars travels, we are generally focused and driven. The eleventh house rules corporations and groups, friends, hopes and wishes. Mars in the eleventh means energetic actions with friends and groups, a desire for leadership and at the same time there can be conflicts with the same. Mars retrogrades late January 2012, and sometime projects slow down at this time. It will go direct in the spring and remain in Virgo until July of 2012.

 

SAGITTARIUS

If you were born November 23-26 Uranus is trining your Sun. This is an excellent transit and can bring people, ideas and opportunities into your life with unexpected ease. Uranus trining your Sun is a great time to expand your life, and opportunities will come to you that you do not expect. Uranus has entered your fifth house of love affairs/social activities and friends. Now is the time to broaden your social acquaintances and you may meet someone new if you are looking. You will be drawn to new and unusual situations and types of people that are different from whatever your norm is. This is a very fortunate period that will last through February 2012. If you were born after November 26, Uranus will trine your Sun at some point during its seven year cycle. Uranus will be in Aries through 2018, and the later you were born under your sign, the further out this transit is. Next year it will affect those born November 23-December 3.

Mercury and Venus are transiting your twelfth house. You may find you want to spend more time alone in November, especially around the full moon on November 26. The twelfth house rules things that are secret and hidden, Dr.'s and places of seclusion.

November 3, Venus and Mercury enter your first house and conjunct your Sun if you were born November 23-26. This should be a busy day with much social activity. Venus only transits your first house of self and new beginnings once a year and this is a special time where your social life will be much more in focus.

November 10, we have a full moon in Taurus, falling in your sixth house of health and work. It is here your attention will be focused at this time.

Mars, the action planet is transiting your tenth house of work and career until November 11. During this time you will focus on career matters and can make headway. Wherever Mars travels, we are generally focused and driven. The tenth house places a focus on career matters and priorities. Mars retrogrades late January 2012, and sometimes projects slow down at this time. It will go direct in the Spring and remain in Virgo until July of 2012.

 

CAPRICORN

If you are a 0-6 degree Capricorn, born December 23-29, you have been pummeled by Pluto, Saturn and Uranus. Yours is a Cardinal sign and all Cardinal signs, Cancer, Aries, Libra and Capricorn are now enmeshed in a complex patter with Saturn, Uranus and Pluto. First, Pluto entered Capricorn and conjuncted your Sun if you were born during the above dates, starting in mid-2008. Then, Saturn followed in Libra summer of 2010, and finally Uranus, the planet of unexpected change, revolution and freedom is squaring your Sun. If you were born December 22-25, Uranus is squaring your Sun now, and will continue to do so through February. You could experience job change, relationship shakeups, and many other events, sometimes involving men, or the male side of the family that come as surprises. Uranus can be a selfish planet and many times people make breaks from things and situations they consider oppressive. Or other people can break away from you during this time. Uranus seeks to free us from situations that have become stale and non-productive. Often this is experienced as a time with no real stability. Stability is still there but you must be willing to go with the flow during this time. If you were born January 11-17, Saturn is squaring your Sun October-November. Saturn square Sun may involve situations that call for change in work, and sometimes personal lives. Situations you are involved in may be delayed, causing frustration. Your situation will be tested at this time, which sometimes goes back to events that began seven years ago. Health issues can occur, but only if your personal chart points to it. If you feel tired and drained, your energy will start to return as this transit passes. If you were born December 23-29, Jupiter is trining your Sun at this time from your fifth house of love affairs/social activities. You could be involved with children at this time or be planning children. You could also extend your social life and meet someone special.

Venus and Mercury transit your eleventh house through October placing you among friends and groups. The New Moon on October 26, falls in your eleventh house of friends, hopes and wishes, and should be positive unless something else in your charts says otherwise.

By November 3, Venus and Mercury move to your twelfth house of secrets, and you may hear about secrets, or just want to spend some time alone this month.

Mars enters Virgo on November 11, a sign that is favorable to you. It enters your ninth house which rules education, legal and medical situations and facilities, travel, publishing, and is generally representative of your outlook on the world. Wherever Mars travels, we are generally focused and driven. Mars retrogrades late January 2012, and sometime projects slow down at this time. It will go direct in the Spring and remain in Virgo until July of 2012.



 

AQUARIUS

If you are a late degree Aquarius born February 16-19, Neptune is making its last and final pass across your Sun between now and February 2012. Neptune has a dissolving effect, and you may feel that certain situations have dissolved over the past few years. Neptune is the planet of illusion, delusion and confusion, and you may have been involved in relationships or circumstances that have seemed unclear. Neptune moves into Pisces February 2012, and as this occurs you will start to regain your clarity in many matters. Neptune also rules creativity and spirituality and you may grow in these areas with leaps and bounds during this time.

If you were born in during the early degrees of Aquarius, January 21-24, Uranus is sextiling your Sun October-November. You may start to feel new mental inspiration during this time, and this is the realm of ideas, and day to day communication may take on new meaning. Everything begins with an idea and now is the time to pay attention to your thoughts. Brilliance may come in flashes that could soon be forgotten if you don't record it. If you were born after this time Uranus will sextile your Sun at some point during the next six years.

If you were born February 10-16 Saturn is trining your Sun during October-November. Saturn-Sun transits are indicative of personal stability and you may make progress in all matters at this time. Travel, especially to old places is favored, as is education. You may reconnect with those from the past, occasionally an old love. If you were born after this date, Saturn will trine your Sun between December and February 2012.

Mercury and Venus are transiting your tenth house of career and priorities, giving you a slight edge at this time. The New Moon on October 26, falls here as well.

By November 3, the planets of love and communication move to your eleventh house of friends, hopes and wishes, along with group associations and you will find you spend more time with people. This is a favorable position for Aquarius. November's Full Moon occurs on the 11th and falls at 18 degrees of Taurus, your fourth house of home and family. You may be concerned with a male in your life, or family members.

Mars, the action planet is transiting your seventh house of partners until November 11. During this time you will focus on your partner, or professional association. Wherever Mars travels, we are generally focused and driven. November 11, it moves to your eighth house of money, corporate money, other people's money and sex where it will remain for 8 months. The eighth house also rules personal transformation. Mars retrogrades late January 2012, and sometimes projects slow down at this time. It will go direct in the Spring and remain in Virgo until July of 2012.


 

PISCES

If you are a Pisces born in the early degrees, February 20-26, Jupiter the planet of expansion and gain is sextiling your Sun during October-November. This is a blessed event astrologically, as Jupiter-Sun periods often concede with our most favorable times. It is currently placed in the third house which rules the mind, ideas, travel and immediate family members. Jupiter is retrograde at this time, not operating at full steam, but it goes direct on Christmas Day and will repeat the pattern with more steam next year. If you are experiencing some difficulty in your life at this time, Jupiter will serve as personal protection, helping you come up with solutions and answers. The only downfall to Jupiter is that it expands whatever it touches and that can include your waistline! All Pisces will have Jupiter sextiling their Sun at some point between now and next June. If you were born during the second half of Pisces the transit will occur in the spring of 2012.

Venus and Mercury are in Scorpio, transiting your ninth house until November 3. You have a possibility of travel, improving your education and your general outlook on the world at this time. Venus in Pisces is favorable toward your sign and will help increase activities in your social life at this time as well. Your New Moon falls on October 3, in your house of travel. If you don't physically go somewhere you may become an armchair traveler at this time, or take steps to improve your education.

By November 3, Mercury and Venus enter Sagittarius, your tenth house of work and priorities, giving you a slight edge on your career for the next 29 days.

November's Full moon occurs on November 10, in Taurus, your third house, ruling ideas, travel and immediate family members, as well as co-workers and neighbors. Your attention will be focused on these matters at this time. Mars in Leo is transiting your sixth house of work and health until November 11, at which time it enters Virgo your seventh house of partners and partnerships. It will remain in Virgo over the next eight months, and your attention will be on seventh house matters, which also include courts (if something else in your chart points to it) and it is considered the house of 'open enemies.' During this time you will focus on your partner, or professional association. Wherever Mars travels, we are generally focused and driven. Mars retrogrades late January 2012, and sometimes projects slow down at this time. It will go direct in the spring and remain in Virgo until July of 2012.
