Welcome to November!
WOW! This is the second to last month of 2022!
We are now smack dab in the middle of Eclipse Season! What does that mean? Eclipse Season occurs twice a year and sometimes 3 times a year. The effects prior to an Eclipse can be felt about a week before the first Eclipse as the energy is ramping up. In mid October you may have started feeling an odd intense, zappy energy. As we came closer to the first Eclipse on October 25, New Moon in Scorpio Solar Eclipse you may have felt the nervous tension or an energy that made you feel like you were on the brink of something. Solar Eclipses are powerful New Moons and begins the season by offering a New Beginning. This is a messenger from the universe that is gifting you a significant ending and starting a new. Eclipses will change things forever whether you like it or not. The universe knows what you need, it may not always be what you want.
In November the Eclipse is the Full Moon in Taurus on November 8, and this will be a Total Lunar Eclipse. This is a super charge Full Moon, that can make you feel unstable, super-sensitivity, and emotionally charged. Full Moons always amplify the energy, in the case of an eclipse the energy is more dramatic and sometimes shocking but nevertheless, what it reveals will change your life. Eclipses work from season to season which are about 6 months apart. Do you remember what started last April – May? This would be what you are working on presently!
The next part I am talking about what is happening globally, but totally affected us. Starting this season with the New Moon in Scorpio that means that the South Node is highlighted first, and this is the past and what we need to change because of the chaos and corruption, lies and deception. Scorpio rules psychology, mental body, intuition and all the transformations that comes with it to find the truth. Society has been traumatized in the past because of the wars and power plays from the different world leaders. We have observed all the conflicts and noticed how it played out on the global stage. Scorpio governs power and control and when this is not aligning then destruction of old ways, and of what no longer serves humanity is the result. Hidden secrets end up coming to the surface, then death of the old ways, and rebirth to new ways. As I have mentioned in several article this year. 2022 adds up to 6 which is the number of Rebirth, Love and Healing.
The North Node in Taurus rules money, security, safety, food resources, gardens because this sign rules over plants, trees, and nature. Taurus is asking you to find the simpler way of life, slow down, feel and sense what you need to heal the trauma. On the global stage currency has been on the forefront as the economy is changing, people are feeling less secure in the job market, food shortages have been noticed. Taurus has the connection to Buddha, and this will direct your energy inward to find silence and peace. This is what connects you to nature. The shadow side of Taurus is hoarding and greed. The lighter side is feeling and sensing with your 5 senses and beyond, with a deep knowing that you are safe.
Sun moved into Scorpio on October 23, which is an intense, emotionally charged fixed water sign. Every time the Sun changes signs you can feel the energy difference. Scorpio is about digging deep to heal things that may be hidden below the surface. It’s a highly intuitive sign with connects to other realms, to experience healing and find the truth.
Planets in Retrograde
We have had some planets move direct during October and the list of planets in retrograde in November are Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune. Jupiter will move direct on November 24th. Just as last month was ending Mars stationed retrograde on October 31 and stays retrograde until January 13, 2023. Mars only retrogrades every 2 years. Mars entered Gemini on August 21, 2022, and it will remain in that sign until March 26, 2023. When this planet is in retrograde its time to reflect, review and reprogram on your reactions to situations, including how you express yourself. Mars is a personal planet that governs survival instinctive, sexual desire and self-assertive power. Mars is in communicative Gemini so using the powers of communication to get what you want. However, this is the time to step back, reflect and process what is your going to say before you verbally express or write it. happen before moving forward.
November is Universal Month 8
The number 8 is pure infinity! Lay the number 8 on its side you will notice it is the infinity sign. It’s a line that is continuous and meets in the middle, the heart of the matter, the center point. The #8 is a leadership number, it about over coming obstacles and gaining strength. All energy that is expended during this time will reap rewards. The 8 amplifies energy and whatever energy you put out to the universe will manifest. This month you may see financial ups and downs. This will teach you resilience! Taking responsibility for your life and the consequences of your actions. Understanding that everything that happens in your life is generated by you!
Full Moon in Taurus – Total Lunar Eclipse at 16° on November 8 at 11:03 am GMT, 6:03 am EST, & 3:03 am PST
There is an 8:8 code for this lunation because of the universe month #8 and this Full Moon is on the 8th of the month.
This lunation is at 16° just like the last full moon and this continues for every full moon well into 2023. The number 16 rules over surprises, shifts, using your intuition and aligning with the spiritual downloads of information.
There is a stellium in Scorpio with Sun, Venus, Mercury, traveling together. These are all personal planets, there may be personal connections that come up for you in relationships. This will include all relationships, not just intimate relationships and with Scorpio it makes the energy emotional. Feeling deeply in your heart and learning how to move forward, by reflecting on how you have been in relationships. This is a change within yourself to shift old patterns or habits to make way for the transformation. Venus is the planet that shares love and sensual pleasure! Are you embracing the moments that you have with your close relationships? Are you nurturing and honouring them? Mercury reminds you that communication, written or verbal expression is uber important with your relationships. Also, how you think about others and the energy that you send to them. And then at the end of any conversation how do you leave it? Is it upbeat and high vibrational or low vibration possibly negative? Being in the sign of Scorpio the shadow or low vibrational energy is having power and control over others. When it comes to the relationship ponder on how people are treating you!
Moon, Uranus in Taurus are exactly conjunct at 16 degrees. Uranus and the number 16 have a lot in common, sudden shifts, surprises, freedom, and both are intuitive. This can lead to changes and unforeseen events that come up for the purpose of helping you shift for your highest good.
The stellium with the sun and the conjunction with the moon are forming a T-square with Saturn in Aquarius giving the feel that the events in your life during this full moon are preordained or fated and destine to be. This intensifies the energy surrounding this lunation.
This eclipse is powerful, however being in Taurus allow yourself to tap into the grounding qualities that will help you if any situations that come your way.
There is a helpful energy that comes from the positive aspects from the stellium with the Sun trining Neptune and Jupiter in Pisces and sextile to the Moon conjunction with Uranus. This will soften things and bring the wisdom to open us up to sharing and not to judge. These aspects bring a harmonious energy during this intensely powerful eclipse.
New Moon in Sagittarius 1° on November 23 at 10:57 pm GMT, 5:57 pm EST, 2:57pm PST
The Sun, Moon, Venus, and Mercury all in Sagittarius are once again forming a personal planet stellium and this really gives a lighter feel to this lunation. If you have been following the past lunations you may have noticed that the Venus has been traveling with the Sun for many weeks now. Sagittarius is known for being joyful, abundant, and expansive. There is a trine from Mercury and Venus to Chiron in Aries this brings a tender healing energy.
Mars will be retrograde and it’s squaring Neptune which gives a similar feel to the low energy that can lead you to feeling weak and discouraged. Don’t let negative energy get the best of you. Mars is also in an aspect to Saturn, but this one is a trine which is a harmonious aspect and both planets are in air signs so this will give you a higher perspective and help to lift you out of any slump or over any obstacles that could be presented. Saturn will help with grounding and stability.
Its interesting how the universe gives us the resources to bring the lessons forward as it did during the eclipse season and then serve us with a much lighter transition during this New Moon in Sagittarius.
Blessings for the month of November!
Your truly,
