NOVEMBER 2020
RUNE OF THE MONTH: Kenaz “light”. What are we making of our ideas? How are we shining our light? In the Bible, it is said that “In darkness shines the light, but darkness did not recognize it which is why it remained dark”. Our highest life purpose is to reach enlightenment, literally “switch the light on”. Light goes hand in hand with consciousness. Light eradicates the shadows and dislodges evil. The more open we are to The Truth, the more radiant we are and the clearer the world becomes.

Uranus remains retrograde this whole month until January 12, 2021. Its shadow period lasts until May 1st, 2021. The degrees covered in November (8º40’ – 7º33’ Taurus) are symbolized by: “A decorated Christmas tree”, “A sleigh without snow”. A month of sudden, unexpected news, unusual information, surprising revelations and unheard-of twists and turns especially regarding the financial system and all the corruptions that have been hiding in plain view. Social unrest could take place as the frustration mounts and more of our freedoms are being blatantly taken away.
Mercury turns direct on November 2nd (27º14’ Libra). Its shadow period remains until November 20th. “A man deep in gloom. Unnoticed, Angels come to his help”. However abandoned or desperate we may think we are, we are never alone. Our grief creates the walls of our own prison. If we can trust what we cannot see, soothing support will become tangible to us. Even in our darkest hours, invisible hands are assisting us and weaving their magic all around us, opening new opportunities, making our paths cross those we are fated to encounter. Thus the tapestry of life keeps expanding, bringing us to our highest evolution. Even in apparent isolation, we constantly grow through a complex net of relationships.
Mars turns direct on November 13 (16º33’ Aries). Its shadow period lasts until January 2nd. The Sabian symbol attached to this degree is as follows: “Two prim spinsters sitting together in silence”. Much anger is brewing under the surface. Confrontations with the army or the police are likely. A few months during which physical and verbal displays of violence could be deceptively contained while the masses seemingly play by the rules and remain, in apparence, at least, “politically correct”.
Neptune turns direct on November 28 at 18º24’ Pisces. Its shadow period remains until March 19, 2021. This degree is represented by: “A master instructing his disciple”. Since June, we have been reflecting on so many aspects of our lives, going within, meditating, doing our best to discern reality from illusions. Now the time has come to be clear on our spiritual values, who and what to trust and where the truth lies. A time of maturity and to further our evolution by learning from those more advanced than ourselves.
Lunar Eclipse in Gemini (8º38’) on Monday 11/30 at 1:30 AM. This degree is symbolized by: “A quiver filled with arrows”. Eclipses always mark major turning points in our evolution. This one points to the use of words and the power of our thoughts in creating or destroying the fabric of reality.

This month’s intentional meditation started on Saturday 10/31 when we took out as many blank sheets of paper as we had intentions and put them near a window, on a balcony or in a garden so that they would bask in the light of the Full Moon in Taurus at exactly 7:49 AM. Once that moment passed, we gathered our Full Moon charged blank sheets and placed them in a folder.
On Saturday 11/14 on the New Moon in Scorpio, take out your blank full moon charged papers and write on each a concise, positive intention. Place them on a balcony, in a garden or near a window so that they are out by exactly 9:07 PM. Once that moment has passed, staple them together and put them away in a folder expecting the manifestation of all your dreams…

Sunday 11/15: Venus Square Pluto (11:43 AM), Venus Square Jupiter (9:33 PM)
A day to stand up for our beliefs with honesty and devoid of any attachment to the outcome. Best to steer clear of unnecessary conflict. Socializing with good people is beneficial as wonderful new alliances can be made today. Yet, financially, we should aim at staying on the conservative side.
Tuesday 11/17: Mercury Opposition Uranus (12:07 AM)

A wonderful day for artists, creators and channelers. Our imagination is heightened. Our capacity to daydream is strong. Our inspiration is enhanced. Music, poetry and painting lift our spirits. Positive visionaries are attractive. Not a good day however for practical matters. We could easily miss the fine print and get seduced into a deceptively glittering deal that in reality, is nothing like the way it appears.
Friday 11/27: Mercury Sextile Pluto (2:38 AM), Venus Opposition Uranus (9:11 AM)
Today, our mind is particularly sharp and our insights, penetrating. Our powers of concentration are deep and our words, persuasive.
