We will see how the time we spent considering the bigger picture now helps lead us to more wise and understanding actions.

Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon in Taurus
Mercury Enters Scorpio
Mercury enters Scorpio at 5:35 pm CDT on November 5th and will stay here until November 24th. We now want to stop holding in what we want to say, so take that leap and get to the point already! Mercury previously spent a long time in Libra, where Venus ruled it; now Mercury will be ruled by Mars, infusing our thoughts and ideas with a little more passion and intensity.
Venus Enters Capricorn
Venus will enter Capricorn on Friday, November 5th, at exactly 5:44, am CDT. Venus will stay in Capricorn for around four months due to a retrograde cycle that will take place from December 19th until January 29th. We need to consider who we can build a future with, and more importantly, who do we want to build a future with? It’s time to get serious and prioritize the people you care about.
New Moon in Scorpio
The New Moon in Scorpio happens on November 4th at precisely 4:15 pm CDT. Don’t be surprised to be surprised during this Scorpio New Moon. It is tightly opposed to Uranus in Taurus, indicating that life isn’t done throwing us curveballs. November is going to be a rough month, and this New Moon sets the stage. We are still grappling with our fears and letting them hold us back. Unfortunately, sometimes we can’t just push through something quickly, and right now, we are being forced to just sit with this energy for a while longer.
On the positive side, the Sun and Moon are separating from a square to Saturn, so the worst is actually behind us in many cases. That doesn’t mean everything is smooth sailing now, but matters are working towards a resolution. I want us to consider that a certain situation that seems horrible to us right now might not actually be as bad as we’re assuming.
Use this New Moon to collect yourself and prepare for some turbulent weeks ahead. I promise by the time we get to January, the situation astrologically will improve a lot. So hang in there, and remember, as always, to practice loving-kindness.

Astrology for November 2021
Mars Enters Scorpio
On Saturday, October 30th, Mars enters Scorpio after spending two months in Libra and will stay here until December 13th. This will be a dramatic change for Mars as they go from adversity in Libra to a place of ease and advantage in Scorpio. Our primal instincts will be the driving force behind many of our actions as we face our deepest hopes and fears. It’s time to get honest about what is really motivating our behavior.
Sun Enters Scorpio
The Sun enters Scorpio at exactly 11:51 pm CDT on Friday, October 22nd, and will stay here until November 21st. Scorpio is a water sign, so emotions fuel our expressions and decisions for the next four weeks. We should take this time to embrace our feelings and learn that only when we are aware of our own fears and suffering can we understand our motivations.
Venus Enters Sagittarius
Venus enters Sagittarius on Thursday, October 7th at 6:21 am CDT and stays here until November 5th. We leave the mystery of Scorpio behind us and aim our direction towards what we desire. There is also finally a planet in a fire sign! We now feel more comfortable moving forward and making progress regarding our relationships and finances.
New Moon in Libra
This is quite a different New Moon than usual. Usually, I would say that this is a quiet time where we should reflect on what we would like to begin or shift our attention to, but Mars joins this New Moon, and all three planets are ruled by Venus in Scorpio, so the energy may be anything but calm. For this New Moon in Libra, we must focus on being intentional in our relationships and how we communicate. It will benefit us more if we concentrate on being more consistent and reliable than scattered or unpredictable.
Mercury Retrograde in Libra
Mercury retrogrades are often a time when we experience breakdowns in communication. With this retrograde in Libra, we can expect that issues around balance or equality to come up. We may realize that relationships, where conversations are one-sided or have one person opening up more, are no longer justifiable.
Sun Enters Libra
The Sun will enter Libra on Wednesday, September 22nd at 2:21 pm CDT and stay here until October 23rd. As the Sun shifts into an air sign, interpersonal skills and relating to others become more important. And since none of us are mind readers, communication will be vital if we want to navigate the Sun’s time here effectively.
Full Moon in Pisces
There will be a Full Moon in Pisces on Monday, September 20th at precisely 6:55 pm CDT. This Full Moon is all about empathy -- empathy for others AND ourselves.

ARIES RISING: You may be too focused on serving others as a result of unresolved trauma. Process your deeper, subconscious emotions.
TAURUS RISING: Your creative or passionate pursuits may have lead you away from making alliances with others. Remember to include others in your vision.
