ASTROLOGY FOR THE WEEK OF NOV 11-17 2024

MON NOV 11

Venus enters Capricorn today at 10:26 AM PST, initiating a cycle that emphasizes a more practical, disciplined, and long term approach. The Moon in Pisces is conjunct Neptune and sextile Uranus, which see’s a creative and adaptable frame, as certain cycles are being phased out. The day can be sensitive, receptive, and creative, with the imagination highly active. Productivity can feel a bit hindered by distractions, or a desire to muse, rest and daydream, so it can require some extra focus to get anything done. Tomorrow can be more dynamic, as the Moon enters Aries this evening at 10:26 PM PST. 

TUES NOV 12

The Moon in Aries is trine Mars in Leo, while square Venus in Capricorn. This can see more motivation to get things on track, although there can be some subtle tensions to navigate. As the day progresses, the Moon makes a trine to Mercury and semisquare to Uranus. Communications can flow more easily, although there may be information, new perspectives or truths bubbling up to the surface which can be slightly uncomfortable, shocking, or unsettling for certain people. Some truths are unavoidable, however uncomfortable they may be. Try to remain open to new possibilities and perspectives, as there may be opportunities for healing and learning available. After the extremes of Mars opposite Pluto, Venus in Capricorn urges a more sensible approach. Mercury in Sagittarius is also reprimanded by a square to Saturn, seeing reality checks and a need for more restraint, humility, and realism. Saturn will station direct this Friday prior to the culmination of the Full Moon. There are issues that will bring people back down to earth.

WED NOV 13

The Moon is conjunct Chiron and sextile Jupiter. This can be very healing, and today can see some heartening synchronicities. It’s a good time to look at the way in which you nurture and care for yourself. The intensity can ramp up this evening, as the Moon makes a semisquare to Saturn while squaring Pluto. Intense feelings can percolate under the surface. Try not to succumb to negative feelings or frustrations. Someone can be about to experience something rewarding for their hard work. The Moon enters Taurus late this evening at 10:59 PM PST, where it makes a trine to Venus in Capricorn, while square Mars and Pluto. This can see some intense transformations in power dynamics. Changes can be made for the better, but this doesn’t mean everything will be easy or that everyone will be pleased.

THURS NOV 14

The Moon is trine Venus in Capricorn and square Mars in Leo and semisquare Jupiter. On the one hand, things can be going rather well just now, but there can be tensions under the surface, or certain people can be rather demanding. Positively, there can be a lot of motivation and drive to improve your lot. Just give a wide berth to high conflict personalities and focus on constructive actions. The overconfidence of Mercury in Sagittarius opposite Jupiter while semisquare Pluto, is now tempered by a Saturn square. This can be helpful, as overconfidence can be just as damaging to self esteem as under confidence. This square has slowed the roll, which is par for the course, as Mercury will station retrograde on Nov 25, prompting some reevaluations. The Moon is sextile Saturn and semisquare Neptune this evening, seeing serious thought being given to looming realities that are as of yet still unresolved. 

FRI NOV 15

Saturn stations direct this morning at 12 degrees Pisces at 6:20 AM PST. This is the second decan of Pisces, associated with the 9 of cups in the tarot. Here we must reconcile our highest ideals of the way things could be, with the way things currently are, and find the middle point where actualization is possible. The Full Moon culminates at 1:28 PM PST, at 24 degrees Taurus, tightly conjunct Uranus. This decan of Taurus is ruled by Saturn, and is associated with the 7 of pentacles. This decan of Scorpio is ruled by Venus and is associated with the 7 of cups in the tarot. Being prepared, averting troubles, seeking assistance, and identifying and departing from illusions, fantasies, or unhelpful attachments to unsustainable or unrealistic desires can be a theme. There can be shocks and surprises at this Full Moon, and being adaptable and innovative in the face of a cycle closing out is coming more naturally and easily. Creativity can be heightened this evening, as the Moon sextile’s Neptune and builds a trine to Pluto in Aquarius. 

SAT NOV 16

The Moon enters Gemini at 2:09 AM PST, where it is trine Pluto in Aquarius, sextile Mars, and semisquare Chiron in the wee hours of the AM. This can see sensitive trigger points, as changes going on socially, interpersonally, or even commercially and financially within power dynamics can be a lot to digest. As the day advances, the Moon goes on to oppose Mercury and square Saturn. Mercury is now sesquisquare Mars and still opposite Jupiter. All of this can see some frustrations or doubts surrounding carrying out certain plans. The Moon goes on to conjoin Jupiter and takes the edge off a little. Try to strike a balance between optimism and realism, which will help you avoid negative thinking, while also averting a complete bypassing of reality. 

SUN NOV 17

The lunar conjunction to Jupiter can see a lot of enthusiasm to tackle a project or endeavor. The Moon goes on to square Neptune, which can see energy levels dip before you finish what you've started. Try to avoid overestimating your energy reserves or ability to follow through or sustain a boundless enthusiasm indefinitely, and aim to keep things simple for yourself. Moods and energy levels can be subject to change, as can the variability of things that need to be multitasked. There can be a distractible atmosphere in the evening hours.
