November 2023, Holiscopes
There’s a swirl of confusing and potentially aggressive energy present in November. It’s important to prepare yourself as you see fit, to not get wrapped up in what doesn’t truly belong to you or what may provoke you. It’s not all challenging — not to worry. The more bravely you can face November, the better. The deeper you can dive rather than splashing around at the surface of things this Scorpio season, the better. Eclipse season is over and it’s time to pick up the pieces, investigate and explore.
Saturn stations Direct in Pisces on the 4, encouraging us to enact what we’ve been reflecting on in terms of reality, responsibility, and boundaries when it comes to emotions, intuition, spirituality, and oneness.
On the 8, Venus moves into Libra with all its charm, beauty, and socializing – giving a boost to our relationships and values. Mercury makes its way into fiery Sagittarius on the 10, giving our communication and mental processes an optimistic and outspoken edge. Be mindful of jumping to conclusions and judgement here. The configuration of these two planets adds a warmth and lightness to the month.
While not an Eclipse, the New Moon in Scorpio on the 13 promises to keep things interesting. As you invite in more emotional depth and the willingness to deeply understand your soul, you may feel an urgency to transform. Meanwhile, you may be moving through both triggers and spiritual awakening energy.
Intensity is high on the 18 with the Sun and Mars coming together in Scorpio, and with Uranus in the mix there is the potential for sudden, unexpected actions. This will ease up once we enter Sagittarius season on the 22, a time for an expansion of our minds and a pull towards greater truths. Our momentum is recalibrated forwards and upwards with Mars moving into Sagittarius on the 24.
The Full Moon in Gemini arriving on the 27 has a lighter dose of inspiration and socialization, while also filled with the pressure to act in alignment with one’s true path.
With little Earth energy in the cosmos to ground us, ensure you incorporate practices that help you grow and nourish your roots in November.
