ASTROLOGY FORECAST (Nov 1 - 8)
A few changes happened last week that weren't discussed yet. JUPITER in its retrograde motion has returned into Pisces from Aries. This is a much more comfortable placement for Jupiter where imagination and dreams can reach further development. This is aided by the fact that, for November, Jupiter will be in a loose beneficial conjunction with NEPTUNE, 6 to 8 degrees apart. Jupiter will stay in Pisces until Dec 20th.
Mercury has moved into Scorpio until Nov 17th. This will bring a sharpness to thinking and communications. Mercury in Scorpio is likely to plumb the depths of any subject. Integrity of thought and word is critical here. Be trustworthy in all your dealings and you will be rewarded. The opposite can potentially reap sharp consequences in the harsher aspects of Scorpio.
Mars retrograde in Gemini has begun. It will last until Jan 12th. Native aggression is softened and introspection rises. This can be beneficial unless the natural drive turns to internalized anger. In its best expression you may realize a different, more peaceful approach to life that you can adapt moving forward.
In further contemplation of the mysteries of Scorpio, let us look deeper and perhaps expand the symbolism, and relate to it through the lens of the Royal star, ANTARES.
Antares, the "Heart of the Scorpion," invites additional attention in these early years of the Aquarian Age. Scorpio and its ruling planet, Pluto, would have you give attention to your own underworld and shadows.
It is easy to see the difficult and the dark aspects in the outer world. At some point, your Soul invites you to recognize the shadows that you see without, to be a representation of that which is within, to varying degrees. This is based in the understanding that we are all in our own holograms and what presents itself for your notice in the outer world is a mirror of the inner world. That is one of the reasons why you even notice degrees of shadow. If they aren't problematic for you, your attention often goes elsewhere.
This does not always have to be monumental. An example is a situation that habitually triggers you with annoyance. I think we would all love to be able to shrug off things we instinctively know are less important, to be able to say, "Not my circus, not my monkeys."
To embrace the shadow self, gather it in, and love it into transformation is not a simple undertaking for most. We are all familiar with that dark night of the soul. This is an advanced spiritual concept. If, and when, you feel ready to address such spiritual exercises, this is where, and when, I will suggest to you that the Royal star Antares beckons to you offering assistance.
Antares is recognized as the "Heart" within the challenges, the portal through which the possibility exists to make peace with the shadows. As stated last week, its Cardinal direction is the west. Vision quests and shapeshifting are favored. Perhaps the transformation of the view of the shadows and underworld to an element of the self that is feeling fear is an idea whose time has come. Fear that is, possibly, seeking love.
Humanity has tremendous heart. These times are presenting many shadows that were at the depths of our DNA and in ours, and our ancestor's, energetic fields. We are uniquely qualified to transform this phenomenon. Difficulties are surfacing now to ask, "Do you wish for more of this, or something better?"
Our already strong heart center is offered more assistance from Antares as the bright shining heart within. Isn't it interesting that a star associated with the heart should be within a constellation and Zodiac sign that is prominent in the closing days of the harvest season in the northern hemisphere and the beginning of the planting season in the southern hemisphere? Transition energy is highlighted.
Eclipse season concludes with a Lunar eclipse in Taurus on Nov 8th. As with the Solar eclipse, this will again be well aspected. Sun/Venus/Mercury form a stellium in Scorpio, while the Full Moon is in direct conjunction with Uranus in Taurus. The grand trine discussed before is still active. The points of Avatar in Scorpio, Taurus, and Aquarius are activated again.
The Lunar eclipse in Taurus includes the Royal star Aldebaran, the Bull's eye. You will recall that I mentioned last week that it is associated with higher vision and prophecy. Also, last May I invited you to adjust the symbolic representation of the Taurus bull to include its feminine aspect - the Cow. There is, perhaps, no greater example of contentment, peace, and abundance than the cow. They are highly proficient at what we call meditation, so much so that they only need to sleep one hour per day. Can you imagine being that peaceful with your existence?
The royal star, Aldebaran, could be called into service of peace, simple prosperity, and contentment. This eclipse will offer a unique opportunity to send all the peace and contentment you can summon along the eclipse axis to the Royal star, Antares, in the "Scorpion's Heart. Then let the stars be reflected in your heart and lead you to heal your shadows, then proceed to your next best destiny, one that includes the greatest good for all. May you BE AT PEACE.
