This is a significant month for you, Capricorn, and one in which you come into yourself more fully, even as you question certain elements of your current and future life path. With Mercury retrograding through a key sector of your solar chart, you are reviewing and revising all aspects of your societal connection, the friendships and group activities that you favor, including concepts of where to place your life force to its best advantage, moving forward. As you do, you are taking the hidden depths of your personality into far greater account. You also you might feel impulses to attain novel forms of self-expression, or with your relationships, alongside a contradictory urge to avoid departing too far from more normative tracks. You have tremendous energy this month for pursuing your work in the work, and for validating that this work does more than just pay the bills. You succeed when you can follow this process deep down, to your core values, recognizing that everything proceeds from there.
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) fell in your eleventh house of friends, allies, and groups, opposite the planet Uranus in the sign of Taurus in your fifth house of creativity. The month will therefore continue to place an emphasis on changes that are happening in relation to your social life, among colleagues or within groups that you belong to (or have recently joined). These changes are being spurred on by the need for greater creative freedom and independence that Uranus in Taurus is representing from within your fifth house right now.
The month also begins just as Mercury is turning retrograde in Scorpio in your eleventh house, further emphasizing the theme of reversals and revisions around friends, social groups, or colleagues in the weeks ahead. The Mercury Retrograde period of time lasts to the 20th of November, and beyond.
Between November 1st and 6th, Mars in Libra in your tenth house of career will square your ruling planet, Saturn, in your home sign of Capricorn. You might be feeling a lot of pressure from work right now, or you might be looking for ways to gain more recognition or authority from your peers or from those above you. It’s a productive transit but be careful of becoming too forceful or trying too hard to accomplish something that you might need to wait for.
Between November 6th and the 9th, the Sun in Scorpio in your eleventh house will then trine Neptune in Pisces in your third house of communication, learning, and the mind. It’s a great time for learning and sharing ideas with your peers or within groups of like-minded colleagues. It’s also a great time to find social outlets that are both imaginative and spiritual in nature.
On November 12th, the Full Moon in Taurus will fall in your fifth house of creativity, joy, and children. You might be feeling the need to retreat momentarily from the emotional drama or intensity taking place at work, in groups, or among friends, in order to enjoy a simpler pleasures and more basic needs. It’s a good time to chill out with family, children, or lovers, perhaps getting out in nature or doing something sensual or romantic.
November 11th to 15th, Venus in Sagittarius in your twelfth house of self-undoing and dissolution will square Neptune in Pisces in your third house of the mind and communication. While this is an incredibly romantic transit, it is also possible that your desires are taking over right now to the point that you are not seeing things clearly or making wise decisions. It’s a good time for meditation and journaling or even a quiet retreat with a few close friends or a loved one, whatever you can do to let this energy move through you while remaining grounded!
On November 20th, Mercury will turn direct in Scorpio, allowing a gradual straightening out of issues that may have recently arisen to confound you, and then on November 24th to the 25th, Mars in Scorpio will oppose Uranus in Taurus in your fifth house, bringing with it a moment of creative breakthrough in relation to friends, groups, and allies. Because the changes may come unexpectedly, it’s important that you remain patient, calm and reflective. Don’t be provoked into an unhealthy response!
Finally, between November 22nd and 25th, Venus in Sagittarius in your twelfth house will conjoin Jupiter in Sagittarius in your twelfth house, and then on November 26th, the New Moon will also fall in Sagittarius. Normally, a Venus/Jupiter connection would be a sign of great abundance and good fortune but given its placement in your twelfth house of self-undoing and dissolution, it could be a sign that you are working through a pattern of pride or excessiveness right now. If so, the lunar cycle ahead, leading through most of December, will afford you the opportunity to look very closely at the tendency you may have to overdo things. On the other hand, Venus and Jupiter’s conjunction may also signify that you are experiencing a creative breakthrough after a long period of internal gestation. With Jupiter set to enter your home sign next month, after a year in your twelfth house, you are on the brink of a season of exciting personal expansion and rebirth.
