FULL MOON- TOTAL ECLIPSE IN ARIES - NOVEMBER 8

The end of October 2022 hosted a partial solar eclipse. After this the New Moon starts to wax and in the sign of Aries forms a Total Lunar Eclipse on the 8 th of November. This Lunar Eclipse would be visible in North America, South America, Australia and Asia. The eclipse occurs when the luminaries Sun and Moon oppose each other just exactly (180 deg). The Moon would be at 22 degrees of Aries and the Sun at 22 degrees of Libra.

This total lunar eclipse marks the end of all troubling situations around and begins to bring transparency around. The eclipse indicates the emotional imbalance brought about after a major life choice has been made in our lives. Those natives who have major placements around this degree of the eclipse that is 22 degrees Aries, stand to get affected more than the others around this time.

VENUS TRANSITS SCORPIO- (NOVEMBER 11 - DECEMBER 5)

Venus from its own sign of Libra shifts to the watery sign of Scorpio on the 11 th of November. It would be in Libra till the 5 th of December. Shortly Mars would be entering the sign of Taurus and then there would be an opposition between these two planets of Mars and Venus. This gives strength to both the planets as this is seen as an exchange of signs.

While in its own house of Libra, Venus would have taught us certain life lessons. There would be again no dearth for the same as Venus transits the watery sign of Scorpio. Shortly in a day or two, Mars would be entering the sign of Taurus from where it would be aspecting Venus, when there would be a fight to balance between the fiery energy of Mars and the watery energy of Venus.

MERCURY TRANSITS SCORPIO –(NOVEMBER 13 - DECEMBER 3)

Closely following Venus, Mercury its friend would be entering the sign of Scorpio as well on the 13 th of November. This would be a good time to get a better perspective of where we stand and where we ought to go. Mercury would be well-aided by Venus as it traverses through the troubled waters of Scorpio.

MARS TRANSITS TAURUS –(NOVEMBER 13 - MARCH 13)

Mars transiting through Aries, its own house shifts position to the adjacent sign of Taurus on the 13 of November. This brings about an exchange of signs between Mars and Venus, with Mars in the house of Venus and Venus in Scorpio, the house of Mars. The exact opposition between these two is scheduled for the 5 th of December though. Mars would be transiting through the sign of Taurus for the next four months when it goes retrograde as well. From Taurus, Mars stands to aspect the signs of Leo, Scorpio and Sagittarius by its 4 th , 7 th and 8 th house aspects respectively, hence these signs stand to get affected by this Mars transit.

Mars is all about a fiery energy and hence the protective mode of operation loaded with much energy and power comes to the fore. Being in the house of Venus which is a social sign is quite a tough placement for Mars though. We are urged to use the power of Mars towards constructive planning and invoke the love element of Venus as well.

SUN TRANSITS SCORPIO –(NOVEMBER 16 - DECEMBER 16)

The Sun in Libra as the month of November starts, transits to the sign of Scorpio on the 16 th of November and would be here till the 16 th of December. In Scorpio, the Sun would ask us to dig deeper to reveal certain secrets at the same time without affecting the fabric of relationships.

And as Mercury travels in close quarters with the Sun, we would have the guts to analyse and determine things around us. Also the Sun in Scorpio would be opposing Mars, the fiery planet posited in the earthy sign of Taurus, thus giving much power to Mars which is all about dominance and assertion.

The Sun was weak and debilitated while in Libra during the past one month period, however in the sign of Scorpio, the Sun is quite stronger. The Sun transiting through Scorpio gives us much freedom in almost many areas of our life now.

NEW MOON IN SCORPIO- NOVEMBER 23

Once the Total lunar eclipse of November 7 th is over, the Moon starts to wane. Then on the 23 rd of November, it gets into exact conjuction (0 deg) with the other luminary, the Sun at 8 degrees forming the New Moon for November 2022. During this New Moon, the house of Scorpio is full of activity with Mars, Jupiter aspecting it. And Scorpio would be already hosting the planets of Mercury, Venus and the Sun too. Hence though this New Moon may make us low, we would be supported by the other planetary placements.

Utilise this New Moon period to plan for your future, particularly your finances and make sure that you do not over-indulge. Be thankful for what you already have in life. With Thanksgiving around this time, this would be a great time to take some rest and remain rooted. Keep your emotions under check and at the same time channel it out properly.

JUPITER DIRECT IN PISCES -NOVEMBER 23

Closely following the New Moon, Jupiter or Guru that has been retrograding from July 2022 goes direct at 5 degrees of Pisces on the 23 rd of November. Of late things would not have been that good for many us, with both Saturn and Jupiter being retrograde. However with now Jupiter going direct in its own house of Pisces, there would be a positive perspective for us to behold. When Jupiter was retrograding things would have been quite tough. Now that it has gone direct that too in Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac we are in for a new format in our lives.

Both Saturn and Jupiter would be direct and both would be in their respective houses till the start of the next year. Once direct, Jupiter goes into massive development or growth phase, however Saturn would be the disciplinarian around checking the growth limits.
