Mercury's Transition into Sagittarius: Communication Challenges and Optimism

In episode 424 we give an overview of the monthly astrology forecast for November 2023, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock. At the beginning of the month we are coming off of an intense eclipse season, where a solar eclipse in Libra square Pluto occurred in mid-October, and a lunar eclipse opposite Mercury and Mars is about to happen on October 28. November continues some of the tense themes, with Saturn stationing direct in Pisces at the beginning of the month, then Mars opposing Uranus around the time of the Scorpio New Moon on the 13th, and Mars squaring Saturn around the time of the Gemini Full Moon on the 27th. This month also features a rare Sun-Mars conjunction that goes exact on November 18, which is unique since it is the first exact conjunction in Scorpio in 32 years. On the brighter side, Venus moves into her home sign of Libra on November 8, and forms a sextile with Mercury that goes exact on November 15. We spend the first hour of the episode talking about news and recent events since our last forecast, and then in the second hour we get into the forecast for November.
