Astrology Forecast for November 2024
In episode 466 astrologers Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock look ahead at the astrological forecast for November 2024.
We spend the first hour talking about news and events since our last forecast, and then in the second hour we transition into talking about the forecast for November.
This month opens with a tense Mars-Pluto opposition that coincides with an optimistic Venus-Jupiter opposition, and then by later in the month there is a surprising Full Moon in Taurus conjunct Uranus.
Saturn slows down and stations direct in the watery sign of Pisces, while Pluto departs from Capricorn and makes it final ingress into futuristic Aquarius where it will stay for the next two decades.
By the end of the month Mercury slows down and stations retrograde while squaring a misleading Neptune, and this configuration leads us into the dramatic Mars retrograde station in Leo that happens in early December.

The Ruler of the Ascendant in the third house
The ruler of the third house in each of the 12 houses
Each of the planets in the third house
After that we have some concluding remarks and then wrap up our deep dive into the third house!
