November begins with Chiron, Uranus and Neptune retrograde. All the dates below are for Australian Eastern Daylight Time.
November Overview
The Full Moon in Taurus on November 15 emphasizes the Taurus / Scorpio polarity which asks us to re-define our values and balance our need to create and build something tangible [Taurus] with our need to let go and allow the process of transformation [Scorpio] to take place. It also emphasizes the need to focus on what is mine [Taurus] and what is ours [Scorpio], especially in relationship.
This Full Moon opposes the Back Moon Lilith [which is conjunct the Sun in Scorpio], bringing the powerful energy of the Great Goddess into the energy of this lunation. I believe the Black Moon, like Pluto, often asks us to let something go … make a conscious sacrifice so life can be renewed. Often this is the sacrifice of a fear or a self-defeating pattern and belief. The Black Moon in Scorpio opposite this Full Moon calls us to reflect on what is stirring in our unconscious, especially regards issues of trust, power and control in our intimate relationships. The transformative power of Great Goddess honors the Law of Cycles which teaches us that endings always bring the possibility for redemption and new beginnings. This New Moon talks of this possibility if we can make the necessary sacrifice of our fears and negative patterns. A key question for consideration becomes: what fear or self-defeating belief needs to be sacrificed to facilitate my wholeness?
Some other questions for reflection
Do we need to let go and share more on any level: physical, emotional, financial and sexual?
Have we given too much and need to reclaim some time, space, energy for ourselves?
What does intimacy and stability mean for you? Are you honoring your needs? Have you traded one for the other?
Are power games [Scorpio polarity] polluting your relationship? What is your role in this dynamic? How can it be transformed?

Jupiter squares Pluto for the first of three ‘hits’ on November 25. The three exact transits [AEST] are:
This square is the waning square in the Jupiter /Pluto Cycle that began in December 2007 at the final degrees of Sagittarius, heralding the GFC of 2008. The Jupiter / Pluto Cycle has been said to be about the Will To Power and this cycle has been characterized by religious conflict as well as the death, rebirth and transformation of beliefs. Issues about the power of the media and the power of words have also been a feature and we can see this starkly in the current US Election. Destructive, even fanatical beliefs that justify the use and abuse of power are reaching a crescendo as the cycle comes to a close.
As this is the last quarter, or waning square, it suggest a crisis around beliefs with Jupiter emphasizing, exaggerating and inflating the raw urge to power of the unevolved Pluto.
For those on a path of consciousness this is a potent time to reflect on your own power urges as well as the path of Self Mastery that is part of the Plutonic archetype. The Plutonic Path of Initiation involves aligning our personal will with the Divine Will and mastering our fear based urges and actions. Very few of us fully master this lesson and this transit may highlight the negative patterns, both within our psyche and the collective psyche, so we can continue to awaken and evolve.
The New Moon on November 29 falls in the sign of Sagittarius, illuminating the energy of Sagittarius and the area of our chart [and psyche] where the sign of Sagittarius falls. New Moons are powerful times to set intentions as they symbolize the start of a new cycle. Sagittarius is the Jupiter ruled fire sign that is in a continual quest to expand its horizons and engage in the search for meaning. It encompasses the archetypes of the student, teacher, traveller, philosopher and preacher. This New Moon always challenges us to see the big picture and let go limited perspectives. If you know your personal horoscope, this is a potent time to set an intention relating specifically to the affairs of the house where the lunation falls.
This New Moon is square to both Neptune and the nodal axis and calls us to embrace the higher energy of the Neptune archetype and beware of the negative energy.
Neptune often brings confusion and the potential for delusion, especially when found in a square aspect. It can be easy to fall into the victim archetype and succumb to our addictive patterns to soothe ourselves but this energy can also be highly creative if we can surrender to our confusion and allow the fog to lift in its own time. The danger is falling into an abyss of anxiety and feeling compelled to act, but if you can allow yourself not to ‘know’ and re-frame the anxiety as part of the creative process then the outcome may be more constructive.
Neptune is also said to relate to Divine Love. From an evolutionary perspective Neptune transits challenge us to open and hearts and view life from a heart centered perspective …with compassion for ourselves and others.
Can you surrender to your heart and allow it to communicate with you during this time?
