November Astro 2024

[PenguinTrauma]

Still recovering from my op, so the write up will be a bit shorter, but I will add more as I go along

1st - New Moon at 9°36' Scorpio - trine Saturn Pisces

2nd - second pass: Jupiter Gemini sextile Chiron Aries at 20°23'

2nd - Mercury enters Sagittarius: for a longer stay due to the retrograde coming up. It won't enter Capricorn until January!

3rd - Juno enters Scorpio

3rd - Mars Cancer opposite Pluto Capricorn at 29°45'

4th - Mars enters Leo

7th - Mercury enters shadow at 6°24' Sagittarius

11th - Venus enters Capricorn

15th - Saturn stations direct at 12°42' Pisces

15th - Full Moon at 24°01' Taurus - conjunct Uranus Taurus - sextile Neptune Pisces

19th - Pluto enters Aquarius "for real" - the final entry for good!

21st - Sun enters Sagittarius

25th - Mercury stations retrograde at 22°40' Sagittarius - it will station direct on Dec 15th at 6°24' Sagittarius

The month ends with the energies of an approaching Mars retrograde (6th Dec) followed by Neptune stationing direct (7th Dec) so both planets will be stronger in energies, as they will be stationary.

I think the star of the show is Pluto finally entering Aquarius for keeps this time, no more retrograding back into Capricorn. We will have a 20 year stretch ahead of us. The next time it will enter Capricorn will be in 248 years time!

It will activate the December 2020 Jupiter/Saturn conjunction at 0°29' Aquarius for the final time Mid December. Maybe that will be a final launch into uncharted territory and a brave new world?

How do you see November unfolding? Personally, and mundane thoughts welcome!

Thank you as always PT, I always look forward to your monthly write-ups! My birthday is on the 18th, so lots of stuff going on in my chart; I'm having surgery on my shoulder on the 15th. the day Saturn turns direct - in my 6th house of health, never the less. How apt, Saturn rules bones! It's also approaching my 2nd Saturn Return , my first one was marred by tooth pain.

I'm looking forward to Pluto last and final entrance in Aquarius, I feel like a collective sight of relief and can't wait to see the back of Pluto in Capricorn, its' been so difficult for all.

 

[silviam66]

On a mundane note, worth keeping an eye on King Charles, with his Moon at 0 so Pluto will soon apply to its last square...

 

[Ukpoohbear]

I’m looking forward to Pluto leaving Capricorn and Neptune leaving Pisces. Although I’m sure both will bring their own challenges as well.

Wishing you a successful surgery and a speedy recovery, @silviam66.

Many people look forward to Pluto leaving Capricorn, however, Pluto is NEVER kind no matter what sign it transits, not even when it transited it's own (Pluto ruling Scorpio in Modern Astrology, when we experienced the outbreak of AIDS and our attitude towards sex changed, we became more cautious, more aware). Note that Pluto is related to both Mars and Saturn. So first Pluto destroys/brings issues to the surface that were kept "secret", or lay dormant and then after a lot of challenges we develop a cautious attitude towards them, so we keep things under control-another Pluto word!

When Pluto is in Aquarius, we may experience the dark side of Aquarius first. Aquarius is related to social Media, societies, technology, science, communication, associations/allies, of rationality, intelligence, eccentricities and independence. I assume that some, if not most of these topics will face transformation and challenges. We may have to experience the darker side of these topics eg of science/social media until we finally find some solutions to "issues" that will surface. I do not think it is going to be any easy, because this is Pluto, not lovely Venus! Nevertheless, it is nice to be somewhat enthusiastic and not negative about something that will come to us whether we like it, or not.

I hope you get better by day, dear PT!

The last Jupiter/Saturn conjunction took place at 0 Aquarius and it was conjunct my son's n Neptune (conj. Moon in his 10th). I wonder what t Pluto reaching the degree will trigger. My son has a day time job right now, but he is dropping everything to work as an actor. He is leaving next month to a neighboring town to follow his dream and sign a contract for a few months, after which he will have to start looking for another job. Hmm...well, he is only 26.
Of course, I wish him well and I will stand by his side, but it does not sound easy.

 

[StarchaserNancy]

I hope one of my incarnations is not within a Pluto Capricorn or Neptune Pisces time frame. Well, add on Saturn in Pisces, too.

 

[Columbine]

Thanks for the write up PT.

I am brassed off with Saturn which is plodding through my 6th, and will station square to my Moon Chiron conjunction. My IBS is awful. Perhaps when Mercury (my ruler) stations close to my Chiron at 8 deg Sag, I might get more insight. Chiron is transiting my Mars Sun and Venus. My Jupiter is at 0 deg Aquarius square to my Sun and Venus so Pluto will be there again, more insights? The full moon/Uranus squares my Saturn, I could go on but I don't want to take over this thread!

 

[SummerBliss]

Great as always @PenguinTrauma

I can’t wait for Pluto to move to Aquarius, it’s lagged in my 6th for too long. I am suffering at the moment and would love a new insightful approach. Tests, whatever it takes.

Good article about Mars opposite Pluto

 

[PenguinTrauma]

Here's what I wrote about on the New Moon Scorpio thread, about Mars/Pluto:


We have both Mars in it's fallen sign of Cancer at the Anaretic 29th degree, making an exact opposition to Pluto on it's way out of Capricorn also at 29 deg. This will be the first of three longer range Mars/Pluto oppositions:

3rd Nov - Mars Cancer opposite Pluto Capricorn at 29 deg 45'
3rd Jan - Mars Leo opposite Pluto Aquarius at 1 deg 08'
27th April - Mars Leo opposite Pluto Aquarius at 3 deg 48'

Focusing on the first one though, both at Anaretic degrees, and the Mars opposition will be the VERY LAST aspect Pluto will receive whilst in Capricorn!! The final goodbye before Pluto vacates the sign it has called home since 2008. So it will be going out with a bang, and definitely no whimper. It's like Mars will practically be kicking Pluto out of Capricorn!

Mars is in Cancer, so an element of the past, maybe the past 15 year phase that is reaching it's final closing out. Mars is linked to cutting, severing, sharpness, so an old phase may be getting cut out of your life, on a more permanent (Capricorn) basis.

 

[PenguinTrauma]

Really feeling intense pressure cooker energies brewing up!

Going to try and articulate this as best as I can (with my Mercury Pisces lol)

I feel that at this very current moment, the shadow themes of Pluto Capricorn: structured power struggles, control, rigidity, are really winning and appears unstoppable, insurmountable, and at its zenith. Whatever or whoever has the upper hand in a power dynamic looks set for success, for good. Things may appear quite hopeless, futile, and inevitable.

New Moon Scorpio trine Saturn, surrender to the inevitable by releasing something. Pluto opposite Mars, win or die. Resistance is futile.

But, what I'm also feeling is that there will be colossal fall-downs and come-uppances brought on by a very unpredictable Full Moon Taurus conjunct Uranus! This I feel will be a massive 180 turn on those Pluto Capricorn power structures, which will come tumbling down. Think like the Tower Card in Tarot.

That lightning strike, the perceived victorious ones who have misused power, won't see this coming!

And let's not forget, the Full Moon is still close to Algol. Heads will roll.

The Full Moon conjunct Uranus, will be the portal and doorway to Pluto Aquarius, where the direction of power will shift. They are too close together in time (15th to 19th Nov) to act separately.

Uranus rules Aquarius after all. And the Moon is exalted in Taurus. Saturn (ruler of Capricorn) will go direct in between the two, a release via a flow of movement.

Since Pluto Capricorn returned, I have seen people around me, one by one, going through big downfalls, after a period of almost untouchable Ego success. I think this Full Moon will be reserved for those who haven't cottoned on yet or not learnt the lessons saving the best for last?

What do others think here? Is anyone else picking up on this energy?

To add a caveat, not including certain candidates of the US Election, as that's still very much up for debate! It will certainly play out, but I don't want to suggest for who?

I feel this is more in our personal lives, and perhaps immediate society too, especially as Taurus is ruled by inner planet Venus, so maybe it will play out more in relationships that have imbalanced power dynamics based on manipulation, social connections, values.

 

[StarchaserNancy]

Interesting post. I never thought of how this could play out. That's why we have you PT. W/ Uranus ruling Aquarius and Moon exalted in Taurus that will be a powerful Full Moon. Doorway into the ushering of the Pluto Aquarius age/themes perhaps w/ a shock/awe right along side.

I feel shifts, too. It's almost like things have just gone on too long the way they are as far as Pluto/Capricorn themes and now at the last degree. Many systems are at the end of their rope (and people, too) And, change must happen. After all, Pluto is about inevitable change that no one can stop. The force of change from nature itself and how it balances things out and the regeneration that it brings, that it must bring in order to evolve. The days ahead will be interesting.

 

[Ukpoohbear]

I’ve been feeling the energies - just a slight on edge feeling for the last week or so. But let’s just say, my cardinal planets have been dealing with Pluto in the late degrees of Capricorn for the last few years, and so the feeling now, is more of a rumbling in the background. I have learnt to not feel I have to fight every battle, if you can call that a lesson - I think it is more I am battle weary

It is funny because last night on my way home at about half 5, it was already dark, but I was enjoying the lights and the fresh air. I was going to take the longer way home, which means walking right down past the river through a narrow and fairly secluded cycle park with little to no lighting. It dawned on me that it may not be the safest decision due to it being so dark, but my first thought was, ‘oh come on, what are the chances that something will happen to me,’ and then I headed towards the cycle path. I then almost immediately replied to myself, ‘actually, with Pluto at its anaretic degree opposite Mars, the chances that something will be happen to me, would happen now.’ So I turned around, and walked across the brightly lit bridge instead.

Something that wasn't mentioned, or even spotted!

The Mars Cancer opposite Pluto Capricorn, will receive a square from Juno at 29° Libra

Excerpt from the article:

And, we have Juno squaring the applying Mars/Pluto opposition. This is a very difficult relationship turning point. The agreement is rocked by a brutal push for domination by one partner or a struggle "to the death" between both partners. The desire for power and fear of being overpowered can deliver extreme results. The partnership itself may be completely destroyed or will continue in an unrecognizable form.

Looks a bit dicey! Is this affecting any relationships out there?!

Over the next few days, Mars will enter Leo, and Juno will enter Scorpio, still both in aspect to Pluto Capricorn, but out of sign. I would expect the brutal push for dominion to continue for a bit, but in a different form of Fixed sign Mexican stand-offs, with no budging.

BTW, Kemi Badenoch was announced today as leader of the Conservative party in the UK. I am not politically engaged with any party.

She has Uranus at 24 Scorpio would you believe! The 15th should be interesting. She also has Jupiter/Mars at 10/14 Virgo so the Saturn transit also affects.

 

[PenguinTrauma]

In other news, Mercury is about to enter Sagittarius, for an unusually longer stay due to it's retrograde.

So from 2nd Nov 2024 to 8th Jan 2025, that's two whole months!

The retrograde will be activating my Sagittarius Moon in 11th, and Neptune in 12th. Maybe some old friends may reappear and resurface?

Which would be bad timing, as I have another medical procedure early-ish December (albeit minor, no organ removals), so my social life (11th) will be non-existent with more time in solitude (12th), watching Christmas films, whilst I make a full recovery (just in time for Christmas Day, thankfully!)

Still, no Christmas parties for this penguin! Feels like being back in lockdown

I cross posted there with my Mercury moanings lol

I think this is the early stirrings of Pluto Aquarius, it's unheard of to have a black female leading a political party, and the Conservatives at that!

 

[Columbine]

Sorry to hear that you have more surgery @PenguinTrauma . I am in the Moon in Sag club, but no surgery planned

Looks like Penguin in pyjamas in December

This is a good video on the Mars Cancer opposite Pluto Capricorn transit

The author was a member of the old astrodienst forum and has her own YouTube channel. I do hope she joins this forum one day, her write ups are amazing, so much hard work and detail she puts into them
