VENUS TRANSITS VIRGO-( NOVEMBER 2 – 29)
Venus that had been transiting through Leo during November 2023 now shifts position to the sign of Virgo on the 2 nd of November and stays here till the 29th. Venus in Virgo emphasizes the analysis of relationships and health concerns. Around the end of November, Venus is likely to meet Ketu or the Moon’s South Node in Virgo. This is the confluence of two different energy levels in the earthy sign of Virgo when we would be giving importance to our interactions around.
Venus is said to be debilitated in Virgo, the home of Mercury. Though this is the place of intellect, Venus might feel being restrained in its passionate and emotional nature here. Now in Virgo, Venus is out of the aspects of Rahu, Jupiter and Saturn as when it was in Leo. Hence this position of Venus in Virgo would be an ideal time for reorganising things or re-assessing situations around.
SATURN DIRECT IN AQUARIUS -NOVEMBER 4
Saturn, the great disciplinarian is in its own sign of Aquarius right from January 2023 and would be so till the end of March 2025. In mid-June, 2023 Saturn went retrograde and now on the 4 th of November Saturn goes direct in Aquarius at 7 degrees. That had been around 4 months and a half when things around were quite unpredictable. Now that Saturn gets direct we would be getting back on track, however the path ahead would be quite challenging. Once direct, Saturn gains speed and moves fast. This is a time when we need to slow down a bit, gather our resources and take stock. Certain goals in life can be made or tweaked with the situations around. Pay off all your debts and this would lift up your burden and help you to tread ahead in style.
MERCURY TRANSITS SCORPIO –(NOVEMBER 6 – 26)
Mercury in Libra moves over to Scorpio on the 6 th of November and spends some time here till the 26 th after which it shifts position to the sign of Sagittarius. Mercury in Scorpio is all about ease of doing things and freedom to do what you want. Scorpio is a water sign and is known to bring about major transformations around.
Mercury in Scorpio emphasizes much learning. Mercury in Scorpio gets the aspect of Saturn from Aquarius, hence be cautious. Saturn’s aspect would push Mercury to some deep meaningful works aided with the energy of Mars also posited in Scorpio. If you seem to hit the wall sometime in November, then Mercury guides you to change your course thanks to the intuitive nature of Scorpio brought forward. Some hard decisions ought to be made as Mercury zips past the sign of Scorpio in November.
NEW MOON IN LIBRA- NOVEMBER 13
The New Moon for November occurs in the sign of Libra on the 13 th of November when the luminaries Sun and Moon get into exact conjunction (0 deg) at 27 degrees of Libra. As always, this New Moon indicates the start of anything afresh. This is a time to take stock of resources at hand that would be helpful in moving forward.
Around this New Moon, Saturn would be going direct and Mercury and Venus have just shifted position. Hence there would not be much opportunity for growth and development and things around might look stuck up. Use this New Moon period to find silence, peace in solitude and embrace hope. You would get an intuition of things to come if you are in the right spirits.
MARS TRANSITS SCORPIO-( NOVEMBER 15 – DECEMBER 27)
Mars in Libra as November started, shifts position to the water sign of Scorpio on the 15 th of November. It would continue this stint till the end of December 2023. In Scorpio, Mars gets into the company of Mercury as well. Mars is a fiery planet and when placed in its own sign of Scorpio is very strong and powerful when we can get some major works done.
However, do note that Mars in Scorpio gets the aspect of Saturn from Aquarius, hence be cautious as to how you channel the fiery energy of Mars. Mars in its own sign of Scorpio and aspected by Saturn from its own house of Aquarius is a rare phenomenon that occurs once in several decades. This is a potent combination, hence watch-out for major flares around. The last time such a combination occurred during the last months of 1993, hence look out for clues from that period.
Mars in Scorpio gives the push to go forward, but then there would be stiff resistance from Saturn. Only logical discernment could get things done in your favor.
SUN TRANSITS SCORPIO-( NOVEMBER 16 – DECEMBER 16)
Closely following the transit of Mars into Scorpio, the Sun also follows suit and enters the watery and secretive sign of Scorpio on the 16 th of November. The Sun would be transiting this sign for the next one month period, till mid-December.
The exact conjunction of Mars with Sun in Scorpio happens between the 17 th and 23 rd of November. This could be quite an intense period when the Sun and Mars get into combustion. Later on in mid-December, the Sun moves over to Sagittarius along with Mercury. However, Mars would be left behind in Scorpio wherein it would encounter Venus.
MERCURY TRANSITS SAGITTARIUS –(NOVEMBER 26 – JANUARY 31)
Mercury entered Scorpio on the 6 th and then on the 26 th transits to the adjacent zodiac sign of Sagittarius where it stays put till the 31 st of January, 2024. En-course, Mercury is in for a Retrograde phase between the 13 th of December and the 1 st of January. This would be a long stint for Mercury in Jupiter’s Sagittarius. Mercury’s sojourn in the house of Jupiter is the best time to pursue any learning projects that you have put in the back burner for quite some time.
In Sagittarius, Mercury would be aspected by Jupiter from Aries. This is a good time to connect with your teachers, past or present and thank them for their contribution in your life. Also, a good time to plan any development projects, travel plans and pursue spiritual practices.
FULL MOON IN TAURUS- NOVEMBER 27
Following the transit of Mercury into Sagittarius on the 26th , on the 27th , the Moon gets full at 11degrees in the earthy sign of Taurus. This full Moon indicates the start of a new phase in our current scenario. With recent eclipse activity around, we had some lack of clarity in our paths, now that veil seems to lift off.
Do note that this Full Moon is free from any major malefic aspects and effects. As always there might be some emotional oscillations though around this Full Moon day. Stay balanced, calm and composed and let the full light of the Moon guide you in your path ahead.
VENUS TRANSITS LIBRA-( NOVEMBER 29 – DECEMBER 24)
As November ends, on the 29th , Venus in Virgo transits to the sign of Libra where it would be staying till the 24th of December. Libra is the abode of Venus and hence Venus is quite strong here.
With some relationship issues in our lives of late, things get clearer thanks to the transit of Venus into Libra. All of a sudden, hurdles seem to be lift off and vanish into thin air. In Libra, Venus would be in opposition (180 deg) to Jupiter and this would give us some life lessons of wisdom to pursue ahead. This transit of Venus in Libra not only highlights relaitonships, it also gives a new meaning to our connections in life. How we behave in our society, how we show up for our loved ones, our neighbours and even total strangers.
