Aries Horoscope for November 2013

This is a wild month for you, Aries. Everything in your life has turned topsy-turvy, and yet with a secret purpose; a special form of enlightenment that involves concrete action toward inner goals rather than outer. Your approach to the world of business and career is in deep transformation, that is true, but the secret to what might be called winning is that you deeply tune in to every nuance of what your soul is trying to tell you. This does not necessarily lead to success in the eyes of the world, but it is the key to unlocking your own sense of inner happiness, which in turn will lead you through to where you really need to go. What follows is that you will eventually get everything that you truly want.

As the month begins, you are on the fast track for massive change. Impetuous in any case, for this particular month, and as a majorly transformative year begins to wind down, there is a veritable torrent of realizations coming at you, which lead to a necessary and a revitalizing metamorphosis in your life. Relationship with significant others is involved, and you might even come to recognize that this month constitutes nothing less than a thorough-going revision of how you feel about their impact on your life, and of the way that you explore intimacy together. You might come to feel as well that with the changes that are taking place in this important area, it is your own inner discoveries that are the fundamental component.

Mercury is retrograde and therefore inclining you toward introspection, and conjuncts the Sun in aspect to Chiron, Uranus and Pluto, so that you are very aware of deep changes and as well your fears regarding these. It is also possible that over recent weeks and especially now, old patterns of behavior will come up for intuitive examination and better understanding. With Mercury in retrograde an internally oriented stance is being called for, so that this is indeed an excellent time for meditation regarding who you are at the deepest levels of your being.

The Solar Eclipse taking place on Sunday, November 3rd, in your eighth sector of intimacy and personal evolution, is also worthy of note. The energy of this powerful moment in time will last you well into the following year, and presages greater intimacy over this period with significant others, and also with yourself. There is a way that you are digging down into perhaps long overlooked and yet extremely important layers of your psyche. These exist below the level of fully conscious acknowledgment, but you can feel them there when you tune your attention inward. The secret of a better relationship with potential partners is greater self-acceptance; with better internal connection between the deeper parts of yourself, you are beginning now to recognize this simple and quite valuable factor in your own terms.

The New Moon eclipse is quite close to making a perfect trine aspect to Chiron, the Wounded Healer, in your sector of dream imagination and inner work, while your ruler, Mars, sextiles the New Moon and opposes Chiron. This indicates that old trauma has the strong potential for coming up at this time; this is indicated by the sudden recognition of old patterns, likely stemming from early childhood. The best use of this kind of eruption, rising up from out of your hidden places, is in order that you might be able to move beyond such wounding into healing.

The transformationally active planetary energies of Uranus and Pluto, in perfect square with one another, are also fully energized in this month's powerful configurations, and in aspect to Chiron, so that there are sure to be important repercussions taking place mainly at internal levels. It is vital for your future well being that you attempt to stay as open as possible to the changes that are coming down so intensely for you, and as well to your own rather inchoate and extremely internalized feelings. It is helpful when you can do this without judgment or expectation, since it is very much recommended that you stay in the moment — as much as you can — for all that is currently happening to you over this climactic end-of-year period.
