November 2024
RUNE OF THE MONTH: “Sowilo”, the Sun. We are encouraged to
appreciate life’s abundant blessings, work hard, and complete our
tasks before the coming long, dark, cold winter. A month to avoid
wasting our potential, be clear on our dreams, use our strengths,
and be creative. The more we honor our own power, the more joy
we have to share with others.
* * * * * * * * * * *
On November 3, Mars enters Leo until January 6, 2025. During
the next 2 months, our urge to succeed is intensified. Our sense of
purpose, great organization, and leadership abilities are strong.
Quite competitive when it comes to endeavors that are important
to us, we need to be careful to not become too brutal, frank,
egotistical, even overbearing. We could err a little on the
melodramatic side but are generous and warm-hearted.
Saturn turns direct on November 15. Its shadow period lasts
until February 18, 2025. The degree it turns direct on (12º42’
Pisces) is symbolized by: “An ancient sword used in many battles, is
displayed in a museum”. The results of our past discipline,
seriousness, hard work, and the reassessment of our ambitions is
now leading to positive career developments and more emotional
stability.
Pluto re-enters Aquarius for good this time on Tuesday
November 19 till… 2044! In the next 20 years, as the people will
take their fate in their own hands, the world will dramatically
change. Issues related to artificial intelligence, extra-terrestrials,
mass immigration, futuristic inventions, and the dangers of social
media will come to the forefront. Rebellion against the
establishment will rise all over the planet. Revolutions will overturn
the lack of freedom, the authority and resources will be taken
back from the hands of the self-appointed few, totalitarian
regimes will be replaced by true democracies, and older heads of
state will give way to younger, more dynamic leaders.
Mercury turns retrograde on November 25 until December 15.
Its shadow period remains until January 3, 2025. The degrees
covered in November (22º40’-21º21’ Sagittarius) are represented
by the following images in the Sabian Symbols: “A group of
immigrants as they fulfill the requirements of entrance into a new
country” and “A Chinese laundry.” Even though -as every time
Mercury is retrograde, misunderstandings may occur, people are
likely to change their mind, technology could break down, delays
may happen, we may lose items or miss important appointments,
this is a great time to revisit old projects and ideas we had
forgotten about. A chance is given to us to reconsider our beliefs
from a new perspective, recycle old concepts, process past events,
travel to places we had wanted to visit forever -or hadn’t been to
in a long time, and further our education.
Jupiter remains retrograde this whole month until February 4,
2025. Its shadow period will remain until May 1 st , 2025. The
degrees traveled in November (20º29’-17º19’ Gemini) are
symbolized by: “A tumultuous labor demonstration”, “A modern
cafeteria displays an abundance of food, products or various
regions”, “A large archaic volume reveals a traditional wisdom”, and
“Two Chinese men converse in their native tongue in an American
city”. We seek to understand the meaning behind experiences.
Truth is paramount, as is integrity. The lies of main media, the
deceit of official figures, the manipulations of those in positions of
power come into the open. Reconnecting to our ancestral roots,
understanding our cultural origins, and studying sacred texts
provide the mental and spiritual food we need to create the reality
we want. The time has come to discern what is real from what is
not, and choose what is good in life.
Uranus remains retrograde this whole month until January 30,
2025. Its shadow period lasts until May 17, 2025. The degrees
covered in November (25º54’-24º43’ Taurus) are associated with
the following images: “A Spanish gallant serenades his beloved” and
“The cultivation of natural energies for collective use and
recreation”. We should not resist the changes we know to be
necessary for our own evolution. A time to be original, assert our
uniqueness, embrace new technologies, and think in global terms.
We could come up with new ways of doing things, develop exciting
perspectives, and re-actualize ancient techniques that help us
prepare for the future that is rapidly unfolding.
Neptune remains retrograde this whole month until December
7 th . Its shadow period will remain until March 28, 2025. The degree
covered in November (27º30’-27º09’ Pisces) is represented by: “A
fertile garden under the Full Moon reveals a variety of full-grown
vegetables”. We are encouraged to dream the world we want into
being. Being introspective and reflective, honing our sensitivity,
meditating, and focusing on beauty and peace, help us manifest the
enchantment and abundance we seek.

Saturday 11/2: Mercury Trine Mars (1:21 AM), Mercury
Sextile Pluto (8:03 AM), Mercury enters Sagittarius (12:18
PM) till January 8, 2025
A good day for projects requiring sharp mental energy, quick
decisions, and competence. Our confidence in our ideas and beliefs
is strong. We are able to X-ray situations and people. This transit
is excellent for sales, promoting an item, signing contracts, and
improving our living circumstances. We find change stimulating.
During the next 2 months, we speak our mind with honesty, are
drawn to foreign cultures and higher education. The law, religion,
languages, and philosophy are enriching topics of interest.
Sunday 11/3: Mars Opposition Pluto (3:37 AM), Venus
Opposition Jupiter (7:25 AM), Mars enters Leo (8:10 PM) till
January 6, 2025
We could be tested on how we use our power. Staying true to our
convictions, fighting injustice, and collaborating with others in a
way that serves the highest good of all, is required, as is the need
to renovate, restore, and rebuild areas of our life that are not
working well. We are open to new emotional experiences but could
fall in love with love or engage in a tempestuous love affair that
ends up as quickly as it began. Not the best day to choose
associates as our judgement tends to be faulty. Reckless
investments could have disastrous consequences. A day to seek
moderation in all things. Re-Mars in Leo, kindly refer to the
opening paragraph.
Monday 11/4: Sun Trine Saturn (9:36 AM)
A day to honor our responsibilities, duties, and obligations with
discipline, concentration, and efficiency. Our goals are useful,
realistic, and grounded. We accept the rules and give an enduring
form to our ambitions. A great transit to put order in our life.
Saturday 11/9: Venus Square Neptune (5:15 AM)
We are likely to be vulnerable to intrigues, deceit, and lies.
Unrealistic love expectations, projecting our romantic dreams onto
another could lead to severe disappointments. Money matters are
likely to be vague or unstable. We need to be careful to not fall
prey to a financial scam. A day to lay low, draw on our inner
serenity, rest, meditate and focus on beauty and harmony.
Monday 11/11: Venus enters Capricorn (10:26 AM) till
December 6
During the next 3 weeks, our attitude towards love is serious,
grounded, and conventional. We are likely to be attracted to a well-
established, stable, mature partner but may have to overcome a
certain fear of getting hurt, an innate distrust of others, and
emotional inhibitions. Our esthetic tastes are more conventional
and our attitude towards money, calculated, cautious, and practical.
Our business acumen and earning abilities are enhanced.
Tuesday 11/12: Mercury Square Saturn (5:22 AM)
Good for any work requiring heavy mental focus, critical faculties,
and disciplined thinking. Communications are likely to be awkward
or restricted. We could feel pessimistic, anxious, and withdrawn. A
day best spent keeping ourselves to ourselves, observing a rigid
routine, clearing our desk of backlogged work, and making solid
plans for the future.
Saturday 11/16: Sun Opposition Uranus (6:45 PM)
A day of upheavals requiring inventive solutions. Surprising events
in our personal relationships could lead to a sudden break or an
unexpected coming together. Highly strung, excitable, and
individualistic, we have the capacity to turn things upside down,
creating dynamic situations that open new possibilities.
Monday 11/18: Mercury Opposition Jupiter (12:55 AM), Sun
Trine Neptune (6:07 PM)
Our heightened optimism and generosity could make us promise
more than we can deliver. Raising our consciousness, broadening our
intellectual horizons, returning to school, and traveling are
favored. Camping, hiking, as well as any outdoor activity requiring
vitality and exuberance are attractive. Our empathy, psychic
abilities, compassion, tolerance, and intuition are enhanced making
us very sensitive to undercurrents and more subtle energies. A
great day to forgive and forget past feuds.
Tuesday 11/19: Pluto re-enters Aquarius for good! (12:29 PM)
Kindly refer to the opening paragraph.
Thursday 11/21: the Sun enters Sagittarius (11:56 AM), Sun
Sextile Pluto (12:49 PM)
During the coming month, our faith in life, self-confidence,
adventurousness, and free spiritedness are enhanced. We are likely
to be more friendly, exuberant, daring, and enthusiastic than usual.
Fascinated by foreign cultures, this is a great period to travel,
learn a new language, study the law, religion, or philosophy.
Friday 11/22: Venus Sextile Saturn (3:55 AM)
A good transit to reevaluate our relationships. Our social life may
not be super exciting, but we approach it with seriousness,
dedication, and the need for a long-term commitment. We are
likely to be attracted to more mature, grounded people whose
success we respect and admire. Great for cleaning, reorganizing,
and beautifying our home. Excellent for stabilizing our finances and
making a significant purchase that will prove to be a solid
investment.
Wednesday 11/27: Sun Trine Mars (12:06 AM)
Our energy is dynamic and daring. Our pioneering spirit is strong.
Our spontaneity, self-motivation, confidence, and enthusiasm are
profoundly inspiring. Whatever we create from the sheer force of
our individual efforts is likely to be successful.
Monday 11/25: Mercury turns retrograde in Sagittarius (6:42
PM) till December 15
Kindly refer to the opening paragraph.
Wishing you a powerful month of November!
In Loving Light.
