This is another quite interesting and conflicted or even difficult month for you, Virgo. Communication is in some way the name of your game right now, but also this takes on a quite inner cast of mind. You might feel somewhat shut down in your informational exchanges with others. You also recognize that when these do take place they run deep, coming from a decidedly interior point of view. As well, in connecting with established or new partners you may find that a variety of idealization has taken place. This is contrasted with the nagging feeling that it might all come suddenly crashing down, leaving you with a more subdued and grounded sense of reality. Your worldview is shifting mightily, so that you are constantly provided with new perspectives on your situation. As far as you are being pulled out of your comfort zone at every turn, so too are you also drawn to remain settled in your ways, defying change. Still and all, the bottom line would seem to be that change happens.
The following was written by our resident monthly columnist Adam Elenbaas of The Nightlight Astrology School in his final month with us. Adam has decided that other obligations of his must take precedence. We are grateful for his steady support of our astrological content for the past two years!
The month begins just after a New Moon in Scorpio (from October 27th) that recently landed in your third house of the mind and communication, opposite Uranus in Taurus in the ninth house of faith and higher education. This month will therefore continue to emphasize the intellectual changes that you are going through right now and will challenge you to learn new things, reconsider old belief systems, or explore entirely new ideas.
Mercury is also retrograde in the sign of Scorpio as the month begins, emphasizing the need to explore a deeper and more substantive level of communication in your relationships over the next several weeks. As Mercury is your ruling planet, each time Mercury Retrogrades it is like a small opportunity to reinvent yourself, course correct, or explore new connections and ideas that suddenly appear in your life.
Between November 1st and 6th, Mars in Libra in your second house of money and resources will square Pluto in Capricorn in your fifth house of creativity and joy. You can reap the benefits of hard work right now, but the work of Mars in Libra may require a high level of diplomacy or tact, and the square to Pluto may also point to the potential for power struggles, as well as an exploration of healthy versus unhealthy uses of power and will.
Between November 6th and the 9th, the Sun in Scorpio in your third house of communication will make a trine to Neptune in Pisces in your seventh house of love and relationships, suggesting the potential for illuminating exchanges with others, or for deeper and more intense and imaginative romantic connections or spiritual experiences.
On November 12th, the Full Moon will fall in Taurus in your ninth house of religion, higher education, and long journeys. From this point forward, the lunar cycle’s emphasis shifts from concerns related to the mind, communication, and emotions, and as well to the need for stabilizing beliefs, paradigms, and higher structures of thought. It’s also a good time to find the stability you are looking for in the simplest and most natural things: taking a walk out in nature, spending time with close friends or family, or doing something to care for your body and mind at once.
Between November 11th and 15th, Venus in Sagittarius in your fourth house of home and family will square Neptune in Pisces in your seventh house of relationships. Creating harmony at the roots is a priority right now. It’s important to share time and space with those who share the same dreams, needs, and comforts, and it’s also a great time to experience a deeper sense of joy and happiness both at home and with those you are close with. If you are single, don’t be surprised if you meet someone new at this time.
On November 20th, Mercury will turn direct in Scorpio in your third house. If you’ve been going through a period of more intense emotional and mental or intellectual challenges or changes, you may find that things are settling down and that you’re ready to begin implementing the lessons you’ve learned since the start of the month.
Between November 22nd and 25th, Venus will conjoin Jupiter in Sagittarius in your fourth house of home, parents, roots, ancestors, and foundations, bringing with it an aura of expansion, good fortune, growth, and abundance.
On November 24th to the 26th, Mars in Scorpio in your third house of mind and intellect will oppose Uranus in Taurus in your ninth house of faith and higher education, signaling one final moment this month of mental or spiritual breakthrough or catharsis. Be careful of combative mental or emotional dynamics in general right now, as this energy can be somewhat erratic and defiant.
Finally, on November 26th, the New Moon in Sagittarius falls in your fourth house of home and family. Following just after the expansive and beneficial conjunction between Venus and Jupiter in your fourth house, this New Moon picks up on the same note and emphasizes the same themes of growth and abundance for the entire lunar cycle to come, reaching to the final week of December!
