Deep dives
Astrological forecast for November 2023
November's astrology includes a lunar eclipse in Taurus, Saturn stationing direct in Pisces, Venus moving into Libra, Mercury going into Sagittarius, a Mars Uranus opposition, a new moon in Scorpio, a Sun Mars conjunction in Scorpio, and a full moon in Gemini.
Conflict in Israel and Palestine
The podcast discusses the ongoing conflict in Israel and Palestine, highlighting the recent attacks by Hamas on Israel and the subsequent Israeli retaliation. The astrological correlations with Mars Pluto square and the lunar eclipse in Libra are analyzed, along with the potential impact of past eclipses on the region.
Astrological correlations with earthquakes in Afghanistan
A cluster of earthquakes in Afghanistan coincided with the Mars Pluto square and the solar eclipse in Libra. The podcast explores the astrological connections to the earthquakes and highlights the potential influence of these alignments.
Pushback against astrology and metaphysical practices
The podcast delves into the potential pushback against astrology and metaphysical practices, referencing recent incidents where occult stores have been visited by the police due to archaic anti-fortune telling laws. The importance of organizing and representing astrology ethically is emphasized for the future protection of the astrological community.
November 1st - 7th: Moving through Challenges
During the first week of November, Saturn in Pisces stations direct, marking an important turning point. Venus moves into Libra, bringing more balance and harmony to relationships. Mercury transitions into Sagittarius, setting the stage for more positive and optimistic communication. However, things become tense with the Sun-Mars opposition to Uranus, leading to sudden disruptions and potential conflict.
November 8th - 14th: Finding Equilibrium
Venus's ingress into Libra brings a tonal shift, promoting equilibrium and fairness. There is a brief period of harmonious communication as Mercury forms a sextile with Venus. However, the Scorpio New Moon on the 13th brings intense energy with the Sun-Mars conjunction opposing Uranus. This can lead to sudden and explosive events as tensions rise.
November 15th - 21st: Resetting the Mars cycle
The Sun-Mars conjunction in Scorpio on the 18th resets the Mars cycle, emphasizing determination, ambition, and the need for balanced action. This period may bring intensity and power struggles as Mars opposes Uranus. It's a time to assess personal goals and work towards them with resilience and tenacity.
November 22nd - 30th: Navigating transitions
As the month comes to a close, Mercury forms a sextile with Pluto, enhancing deep communication and transformational thinking. The first quarter Moon on the 22nd can bring some challenges and a need for adaptation. The month ends with the Sun's sextile to Saturn, providing stability and practicality in navigating transitions.
Mars Saturn square brings limitations and challenges
In the podcast, the main idea discussed is the Mars Saturn square aspect that occurs towards the end of November. This aspect represents a collision between the energies of Mars, which is associated with action and movement, and Saturn, which symbolizes restrictions and limitations. The Mars Saturn square is compared to running into a wall or hitting an iceberg, signifying a sudden halt or deceleration. This aspect can generate dangers, generate anger, and create a need to accept the realities and restrictions before moving forward. However, it is noted that as the month progresses, the influence of this aspect weakens, allowing for some relief and a gradual decline in the challenges it presents.
Full Moon in Gemini brings communication challenges
Another important topic discussed in the podcast is the Full Moon in Gemini, which occurs around November 26th or 27th. This Full Moon brings a combination of heightened emotions and tensions due to the involvement of Mars opposite the Moon and Saturn square the Moon. Communication becomes tricky during this time, as a tight Mercury-Neptune square creates a lack of clarity, misunderstandings, and potential deception. The energy of the Full Moon in Gemini is fast-paced and impulsive, but the Mercury-Neptune aspect makes it difficult to fully grasp the direction or make accurate decisions. The podcast advises striving for clarity, patience, and reserving judgment, understanding that misunderstandings and miscommunications may arise during this time.
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.
