MOON PHASES (New York time, USA):

NEW MOON in SCORPIO on 7th November at 11:01: This Scorpio New Moon emphasize more personal life focuses. Venus has retrograded back to Libra and, appearing to move backwards, calls for a revisiting or review of a situation. But you can frequently find a better way forward if you work at things and seek help. With Venus and Mars in trine, there can be greater sensuality in appropriate relationships.  For some of you, this will translate into artistic and other creative pursuits coming under the spotlight.

You may relish on life’s roller-coaster ride, but the intensity of feeling will be significant, possibly in a way that we remember for a long time to come.

FULL MOON in GEMINI on 23rd November at 00:39:  November’s Full Moon occurs in the earliest degree of Gemini. Early degrees are also a type of critical degree) and they are carrying a special significance, emphasizing freshness and new lessons being learnt, which may seem slightly odd with the Full Moon accentuating a stage of completion. But this mix could represent completion of a project that was entirely new for you. You are now heading in an interesting direction and gaining a stronger foothold. The Gemini Moon also opposes Jupiter, close to the Sun.

Jupiter is so often thought of in positive terms, suggesting a bountiful quality. Yet it is easy to end up with a situation of great imbalance under a dominant Jupiter such as this, situated in its own sign of Sagittarius. Gemini keeps an ear to the ground locally, whilst a Sagittarian focus is both further and wider. No doubt there are benefits to both focuses, but if one predominates too much, complications can arise. Such as when a proliferation of foreign travel expands our horizons but allows us to lose touch with details like social events and appointments back. Sun and Moon and Jupiter are also caught up in a T-square to Mars. Now in Pisces, this Mars is fluid and floaty, conjuring up the image of navigating the water in some way. Water-based travel can be fast or slow, depending on what means we use. It is beneficial to remind you of the need for safe and sensible action within an environment that is by nature foreign to humans. Jupiter configured with Mars might bring a daredevil quality into proceedings; if someone lays down the gauntlet, we would be wise to ignore the challenge. As both Mercury and Jupiter relate to communication functions, it seems appropriate. To be extra careful and level headed when reading, listening to, and transmitting information. Of course, some of this may be out of our hands; you cannot control what other people say or do. But you can do your best to supply the most accurate information to begin with. Jupiter and Mercury form a sextile to Pallas Athene in Libra, stressing the need to find a balance between ambition and ethics — and to communicate what matters, rather than getting tongue-tied or sidetracked. The focus on air is a reminder to breathe well and help the brain to work more effectively.

MERCURY transits:

MERCURY is in a retrograde cycle in Sagittarius and Scorpio as it is described below:

Mercury in direct motion in Sagittarius starting with 31 October 2018

Mercury in retrograde station in Sagittarius starting with 16 November 2018

Mercury in retrograde motion in Sagittarius starting with 18 November 2018

During retrograde cycle of Mercury, communications (in any way), energy-consuming devices, but also thinking and logic can be affected. In general, what you want to convey is not understood or is totally wrong, and controversy can arise from here. The important transactions in these periods are good to be postponed, and if you cannot avoid signing of a contract or an important document, it is preferable to read the document very carefully. If you do not understand something, ask a specialist (lawyer, counsellor, accountant and so on). Postpone important decisions and do not launch business or new products.

MARS transits:

MARS is in AQUARIUS until 15th November: You are keen to be right and engage in various collective activities. It is important to try to keep an objective view, otherwise you can lose your reins and you cannot get where you want. Unpredictability, lack of patience and willingness to change at any price do not drive you on the right path. The unreasonable rebellion is known to be losing before something starts.

MARS is in PISCES between 15th November and 31st December: You have a strong drive for a spiritual path. You have strong subconscious emotions and are highly intuitive. You may resort to victim-like behaviour when faced with a threatening situation or person.

On 6 November TRUE NODE NODES are shifting to AXIS CANCER – CAPRICORN: People will get greater concern for comfort, protection, family, food, increasing the importance of emotions in relationships with others and looking for a happier life.

JUPITER ingress in SAGITTARIUS on 8th of November 2018: You rather become in love of adventure, philosophy, study, religions, and foreign cultures. You may discover that you can be an enthusiastic and inspirational teacher.

During November I will post on my YouTube channel videos about Node Nodes and Jupiter ingresses.

SATURN is already in CAPRICORN, until March 21st, 2020.  Saturn is dignified and functioning well. This is a time for turning a critical eye to those of Your career choices that don’t accurately reflect Your authentic selves. Capricorn and Saturn want respect and Saturn in Capricorn will work hard to earn it. Conservation is a big theme now. Taking the easy road is not favoured during this transit. Rewards come from putting in the effort. You might also be striving for more authority in an area of your lives now. Saturn demands simplicity, definition, realism, and truth and it tests your weak areas that need strengthening.

URANUS is already in TAURUS, read my article about this transit here: https://goforastrology.com/uranus-ingress-in-taurus-on-15th-of-may/

Starting with 1st of July 2018 I do not make forecast for each zodiac sign anymore. If you need a forecast I will do it only through my CONSULTATION SERVICES. Find more information here: https://goforastrology.com/consultations/

IMPORTANT NOTES: In all my astrological research and interpretations, I use the Whole signs (house system) because it is the oldest house system (used by ancient Greek astrologers) who has proven its real value during history. When I am writing about aspects between planets, I use aspect from sign to sign; I am using a traditional way of interpretation of aspects. An aspect is not a must to be at perfect orb to have an effect. It is enough if we have a planet in a sign that forms an aspect with another planet from another sign. The most powerful aspects are: conjunctions, oppositions, squares and trines. 

I wish you the best transits!
