這張牌所顯示的壓力的品質有時候也會發生在我們身上，尤其是完美主義者特別容易受害。這種情況是我們自己所製造出來的，我們常常帶著一種觀念，認為如果沒 有我們的存在，所有的事都不會發生，至少不會按照我們所想要的方式發生！是什麼使你認為你是那麼地特別？你認為如果你沒有親自撥鬧鐘，太陽就不會在早上升 起嗎？去散散步，買一些花，為自己準備一頓簡單的晚餐，任何「不重要」的事都可以，只要使你自己遠離那隻猴子！
呵呵 腦子裡都是壓力. 不願意服輸的我! 想證明自己能力的我 想要成就人生的我 腦袋裡想的都是 DO DO DO....壓力 壓力 壓力. 呵呵 還不夠 還不夠 我還可以做得更多

Do you feel like celebrating? You might, and if you do, you should! Saturn, the planet that tests us and presents challenges, has opposed your Sun for two years, but on October 29, Saturn finally moved out of Virgo, the place that has been so difficult for you. The peacefulness you will soon feel will be sweet indeed. On the horoscope wheel, Virgo is found six months away from Pisces, and therefore is the sign found farthest from your Sun. Virgo represents your "winter" because planets in Virgo are as distant as can be from your Pisces sign, in a place you can't feel their warmth.
Dear Pisces, you have journeyed through dark and frozen tundra, but now, as November begins, you will start to see the first pink rays of dawn. A close relationship will improve, and your health will too, and soon you will feel your old energy and optimism return. You won't feel as isolated as you may have felt in the past, and problems that weighed heavily on your shoulders will begin to lift.
While it is true that Saturn will be back to Virgo for a brief 14-week stay from April 7 to July 21, 2010, that visit from Saturn will not be as harsh as earlier visits. The return of Saturn to Virgo will only directly affect a small portion of Pisces, those born from March 17 to 20. The reason those Pisces will get one more turn at Saturn is that he had not finished up his tour of duty with those Pisces. I can explain. If you are a late-born Pisces, don't be blue. You are fortunate that you will have a rest until April - by the time he is back, you'll be better equipped to deal with any assignment he tosses your way. The best part of all this is that when Saturn finally leaves Virgo he will not be back until 2036. Wow!
What made this tour of Saturn so difficult is that Uranus in Pisces was hitting Saturn in Virgo directly, so you were feeling the brunt not only of Saturn, but Uranus, too. If you felt that many elements of your life were being stripped away, it was because the universe was (and still is) intent on giving you something infinitely better. In many ways 2009 was about endings. If this sounds ominous, it shouldn't.
Come January 17, Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, will enter Pisces for the first time since 1998 - 1999 and crown you the most favored sign of 2010. Soon the trials and tribulations you endured will become a distant memory. Those challenges only made you stronger and wiser. You are about to enter your wonder year, filled with fresh starts. Soon you will be offered the kinds of opportunities you used to only dream about.
Trust that the universe loves you and has not forgotten you. In January you will become the zodiac's most favorite child! There is a beautiful symmetry in the universe, dear Pisces, and for all the hardships you may have suffered, you will now experience blessings.
As you await Jupiter's arrival, you have one sensational event to look forward to - the move of Neptune to direct motion on November 4. Since May 29 of this year your ruling planet, Neptune has been retrograde and of little help to you. If you felt it was hard to make substantial progress over the summer months, you know why. Now you will see unmistakable signs that the tide is about to turn in your favor. When a big planet like Neptune changes direction, there are always unmistakable signs that things are looking up if you watch the three days plus or minus November 4.
At almost the same time, an accent on your ability to communicate clearly will be seen at the friendly full moon, November 2, with an area of influence of plus or minus four days. You may give a speech, put the finishing touches on a manuscript or written presentation, or send out an important letter. You may start a self-promotion or advertising campaign, see your book get published, or unveil your own blog or website. A TV producer may call you for a guest appearance, or you may get a plum voiceover assignment. You may decide to get a logo designed for your business or initiate a publicity or advertising campaign. It looks like you'll be in the spotlight during November's first week, so enjoy the fuss!
A short trip or two may be on your agenda to a city nearby as well in November's first week - if so, it looks as though you'd be going for business. With Venus in your eighth house of performance-based compensation (such as commission), you will do well financially and meet all your goals. If you were born within five days of March 2, you will feel the upbeat effects of this November 2 full moon in a very noticeable way.
With Mars in your sixth house, you will have lots of assignments to do now and through the first five months of 2010. You would be wise to build in a few days of rest, lest you take on too much and become exhausted by all the projects you have to do. When a Pisces works, you bond so closely with your project that you lose track of time and space. You may easily miss meals, sleep, and exercise, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to set the alarm on your cell phone to remind yourself to take little breaks.
When you finish one project, instead of diving directly into the next, arrange for a little treat - dinner with friends, a massage, or a night at the museum. Doing something away from your computer would be good for you. A global recession may be raging, but you will have no problem finding work, for you will have Mars helping you every inch of the way. It will feel great to have your services so prized in the marketplace! This trend will last until June 7 - a long time - the reason I feel you should pace yourself.
You seem to be thinking quite a bit about becoming healthy and fit, and with Mars in your sixth house, this would be the perfect time to initiate a fitness routine that you like so much you'll follow it consistently in months and years to come. To get started, you may want to work out under the supervision of a coach, trainer, or gym teacher. Mars in Leo will make you energetic and enthusiastic, but just be sure you don't overdo. As long as you follow sensible advice, you can make quite a bit of progress between now and early June.
You may want to add weight lifting to part of your program. Mars rules iron, so you could see good results with weights, if done properly. (And no, women don't get "overbuilt" by using weights. Weight lifting is great way to build strong bones.) If you have a dog, include him in your routine, too - you both can run together, for example, and you'll both feel better for it!
It is nearly year-end, and you may also want to schedule various medical checkups, such as to get a mammogram, colonoscopy, or blood tests done. Perhaps you have already used up your deductible on your health care plan and now can have tests done that won't cost you a cent. This would be a good time to schedule your annual eye exam and semi-annual dental cleaning. With Mars in your sixth house, you seem really eager to take good care of yourself, so go with that feeling! As mentioned, you will be working hard, so it will be even more important to be sure you continue to keep yourself in top condition.
Now let's turn to another important trend that will be brought to you as a result of the new moon, November 16. Foreign interests will perk up at that time, and you may even hear that you will soon take an exciting trip to a foreign country. Alternatively, you may start to work with people in an import-export situation or host visitors to your city from overseas. International influences will be very strong throughout the second half of November, so you may see your work translated into other languages or join a foreign publication as a contributing editor. With Uranus so beautifully oriented toward that new moon, offers are likely to come up suddenly.
Mercury will be retrograde next month from December 26 to January 16, so if you plan to buy things for yourself or holiday gifts for friends and family, do so now, while your picture is bright. You will begin to see things slow down as soon as December 9. This year you would be wise to get your holiday shopping done in November.
Romantically, once you get to January 17, 2010, you will enter into the very best period in your lifetime for finding true love, for that is when you will have Jupiter in Pisces. If you are already attached, love will only grow bigger. This is a huge trend, one you will notice, for sure!
In the meantime, this month, Venus will be in Scorpio from November 7 to December 2, a perfect place for this, the love planet, to be. Venus will help you attract love if you are single, and bring love closer if attached. Venus will make November the right time to see about freshening up your look, for you'd love the changes you make.
A really terrific weekend coming up is likely to be November 14-15 when the Sun in Scorpio and Uranus in Pisces is likely to make this a winner on so many counts. Things will go really well, and if you need to travel over this weekend, events will just click perfectly into place.
One of my favorite days for you for romance will be Wednesday, November 25, when Venus will send Uranus a dazzling beam. No matter what you expect on this day, it's sure to be better. If you plan to travel with your one-and-only, you will have lots of fun. If you don't have anyone in your life, you may strike up a conversation with someone you will want to see again. Mercury will be quite busy meeting and greeting other planets in the friendliest way that week, indicating that your family will be quite supportive of you in late November. Need to introduce the clan to your new partner? Go ahead - conversation will be bubbly.
In the United States the following day is Thanksgiving, and so many people will be traveling - perhaps that's you. No matter where in the world you may live, November 25 and 26 should be special for love and for fun with family members.
The only tough day will be November 30 - not great for travel, family relationships, or shopping, and not good for signing a contract either.
Summary
As the month begins, it appears you will bring a speaking or writing project to fruition at the full moon in Taurus on November 2. You may be giving a speech, taking a short trip, or finishing a website to launch. Some sort of communications project is reaching an end point - and it will make you proud. This full moon is in conversation with Pluto, so you will find you feel pride about what you accomplished and a friend may figure very prominently in your success - he or she may help you in a very positive way. A certain community appears to be involved with what you are doing too, and if so, you will be very effective in reaching them.
Neptune, your ruler, will go direct on November 4, a major development for you, Pisces, for it means that the hard work you've done will finally begin to take root and show progress. You will notice how much faster your plans shape up, and you'll find this gratifying - possibly miraculous! Neptune won't go retrograde again until May 31, 2010, so you will have a clear road ahead.
Foreign talks and plans will begin to gain in importance after the new moon November 16. You may not even know you are about to take a trip in late November, for due to this moon's nod to Uranus, planet of spontaneity, your opportunity will arise rapidly.
With Mars in Leo, you will be working very hard these days, and you will need pampering now and then. You are not one to think about yourself first, but these days, with pressures strong, you would be wise to pace yourself. The pace will be fast until December 21 when you will see things start to go at slower speed from then until March 10. Take good care of yourself so that you don't lower your resistance - you will need your strength to keep up with the exciting assignments coming your way! A fitness program started now would show terrific results, especially if you include weight training (Mars rules iron)!
Romantically, with Venus in fellow water sign Scorpio, your charm will be quite divine. If you travel with your sweetheart or spouse, so much the better! If single you may meet someone on a long flight, so here is fair warning to look your best!
Dates to note:
A communications project will be wrapped up at the full moon, November 2 plus four days. You may also travel to a nearby town on this date.
International projects and travel will grow in importance after the appearance of the new moon, November 16.
Once Neptune moves direct on November 4, you will see that you'll progress more rapidly and find you are less likely to feel mired in frustrating conditions.
A desire to get fit and toned may overtake you this month. Give in to it! Start November 16 or within a few days after this date for best results. With Mars in Leo, you'll go after your goal with earnest. Do so carefully, so you don't overdo, but be confident that this time you will get enviable results.
Three exciting days are sure to make you excited and happy: November 13, 14, and 25. Use these days for fun and love, or for any purpose!
Romance will be upbeat all month now that Venus will tour fellow water sign Scorpio from November 7-30. Buy clothes or change your hairstyle or color. Consider buying lingerie.
Romance will be best on November 1-2, 6, 7, 13, 14, 15, 24, and 29.
Saturn moved into Libra late last month, and few will be as happy as you to see him leave Virgo. For two long years you have been caught in the crossfire of a major dispute between Saturn and Uranus, causing your finances to gyrate wildly, in ways you would have never anticipated.
These two Titans of the planetary lineup - Saturn and Uranus - are not finished with their dispute. Saturn will be back to Virgo from April 7 to July 21, 2010, a period of 14 weeks, and at that time Saturn will attempt to rile up Uranus again. You'll need to be careful and conservative with money then, especially in late April. The upside is that now, in November, for the first time in two years you, will get sweet relief from the financial wrangling and untoward developments you kept seeing. Once Saturn leaves Virgo next July, Saturn will not be back to this difficult placement again until 2036.
Now that Saturn is in fellow air sign Libra, it will work well with your air sign Aquarius Sun, allowing you to absorb the lessons of Saturn in a very natural, organic way. Saturn will give you relief in another way - the ninth house, where Saturn will be based until October 2012, is considered a "cadent" house, a bit weaker than other types of houses. This is very good news - Saturn won't have nearly as harsh an effect.
The ninth house where Saturn has moved to in late October is the house of education and learning. If you decide to go back to the university for your degree, you might do a work and evening study program that takes longer than the usual four years to complete. That schedule might demand much from you physically. It can be exhausting, yet, although the professors will be tough and demanding, you will retain what you learn in ways you've never been able to do before, and the end benefits will be beyond what you'd ever imagined possible. Completing your course of study will be well worth your effort.
You may alternatively learn to write and even get published, or your work may be talked about on television - this is a very exciting trend! In the coming period of intellectual vibrancy, you may delve into philosophy, politics, or religion and become very stimulated by what you are exposed to, and may even enjoy debating others.
Saturn in Libra is considered "exalted" - the best place for Saturn to be because in Libra, Saturn is said to be less cold and distant, and becomes a warmer, more benevolent teacher. In Libra, Saturn expresses a more balanced energy, avoiding the difficult extremes of Virgo that you experienced firsthand over the past two years.
Previously, Saturn was in earth sign Virgo in your eighth house of credit, mortgages, loans, venture capital, scholarships, and tuition, as a few examples. If you anticipated certain funds, say, from your university to help you with tuition, from an ex to help with child support, or if you are a business owner and fully expected a client to pay you, you may have found the money slow to come - if it came at all. Saturn is known to teach hard life lessons that lead to maturity and wisdom, but I will admit your case was really extreme.
Now you can rest, and you will see a gradual improvement in your finances. In fact, there will be several moments this month where you see that dawn is on the way, and that the long, cold dark period you've come through is ending.
Neptune, the ruler of your house of earned income, has been retrograde since June 15, so you may have had problems making ends meet. Or if you had enough funds, you may have nevertheless felt like you were walking up a down escalator - hard to make progress. Now, on November 4, Neptune will move forward and you will find it much easier to control your finances and to generate moneymaking plans that work.
Keep your eyes open for calls and meetings you have on November 4, plus or minus three days - you should see a brightening on the horizon for finances.
Also note the following days for good news about money: November 11, 13, 14, 15, and 25. In each case, Uranus, your guardian planet - the planet that has the job of looking after you in a kind and helpful way - will meet with planets on your behalf. The result? More good financial news. Let's look at those days.
On November 11, talks go really well. Mercury, the little chatterbox, will signal Uranus, planet of genius, and you'll be every inch the rock star.
Things will get even better from November 13 to 15, when the Sun in Scorpio will signal Uranus in Pisces, in your house of earned income. This will be a surprising set of days, when news of more money coming in - most likely money in your paycheck - may find you feeling flabbergasted but excited. These are truly excellent days, when all the news that comes out of nowhere is good news.
The new moon in your professional success sector, the tenth house, will appear on November 16, the moment you've awaited all year. This will be your moment to make your move to a position that will yield more power, responsibility, and prestige. If you already have a job like that, you can present an idea to a client or top boss - your timing will be perfect. This month, however, you will be able to get the victory you've craved for some time - it is now within your grasp if you want it. With Venus in your tenth house, the buzz about you is so positive. It would be a shame not to reach for something big. After all, you've got the deck stacked in your favor.
With Uranus sending out-of-the-blue lightning bolts to that new moon on November 16, you may find yourself mulling over an offer that will come straight out nowhere, as if in a dream. Uranus will also see to it that the salary offered you would be excellent. You need not sell yourself too hard - be confident. You definitely have what it takes.
New moons send a blast of energy that lasts for two weeks, so the second half of November will be strong for career matters. Be decisive, though, for Mercury, planet of negotiation and agreements, is due to retrograde next month from December 26 to January 16. You need to have a strong, functioning Mercury to make wise decisions, and with Mercury entering into a mathematically significant - and annoyingly bad - pre-cycle phase on December 9, you will need to hurry things along and act in November if you can.
There is another reason to make tracks in November. Mars, the action planet necessary to supply good energy to any new endeavor, will also go retrograde from December 20 to March 10. Mars does not retrograde that often, but when it does, it is hard to make anything stick.
Mars right now is in your seventh house of partners, so you will find your collaborators or romantic partner may become frustratingly passive. It looks like this person will rely on you to supply the energy and motivation for you both. I can practically hear you say, "I knew it!" I bet you did. Work to find a compromise with this person as you both seem joined in a key endeavor.
If you are in financial talks, you'll find a sudden breakthrough on November 25, when Venus and Uranus trade signals. This negotiation may have to do with your home or other real estate, or it may have something to do with settling on your salary package for your new job or promotion. If you are self-employed, you give yourself your own promotion by pitching clients, but if you have been doing that, you'll be perfectly poised to clean up in late November. If the client says year-end budgets are spent and you need to look ahead to 2010, that's fine. Make things start in mid-March and you'll be all set.
You will be aided by the turn of Uranus to direct motion on December 1. Your health will improve and so will your finances, the two areas you seem to be most concerned about lately. This is exceptional news, and when a big planet moves forward, if you look closely, you will see that that things are about to move forward assertively.
Keep your antenna up near December 1, but you may hear things as soon as November 29. On that special day, not only will you be very close to the day Uranus turns direct, but Mercury will be in super-friendly angle to Jupiter, the good fortune planet, in Aquarius, a boon for you. Mercury delivers good news!
Your home seems to have reached an important junction too, for early in this month the full moon of November 2 will highlight matters related to your physical home or other property. This full moon will also accent the relationships you have with the people with whom you share your space, and with experts you ask to help you with it. That would include everyone from your landlord to your roommate, and contractor to broker. Or, this full moon may center on your mother or father, who are included as well under the fourth house domain.
This full moon of November 2 is a bit difficult - as I see it, you are not about to get a lot of cooperation. Everyone seems to have a point of view, but oddly nobody is siding with you. Your career will start to heat up at this time too, so your boss will be demanding a lot of you too, and you may wonder which way to turn. It appears you will have to solve the home- or family-related matter first, as that will need your most urgent attention. Fortunately, once you make the decision, you'll be able to revert back to your career, the one area that will go best this month.
Romantically, you'll do best in the first week when Venus tours Libra, until November 6. Use that time to browse for new wardrobe items or to have salon / barber shop appointments. Actually, spending a little time and money on yourself in early November will pay off in many ways, not only romantically. Your profile will be very high in your industry this month, and all eyes will be on you. In a world where instant impressions are made, you'll want to be sure you are giving out precisely the right message. It will be important to look rested, too - nothing ruins a look faster than looking bleary-eyed, ashen, and exhausted!
If you are single and looking for love, to be truthful, after the first week of November, I feel you will be too preoccupied with home and career concerns to devote yourself fully to love.
You can have some fun seeing friends, and your best days, married or single, will be November 1 to 5 (especially November 4 and 5), as well as November 11, 13, 14, 21-22, 27, and 28. As you see, the end of the month will be best.
If you are attached, your partner may be very needy all of a sudden, as if he or she knows instinctively you've entered a key career zone and won't be able to pay much attention to your personal life. If your partner has a bone to pick with you, it will be this month. Mars is the culprit here, as hosting Mars in the seventh house, as you will for many months, can be a bit of a burden.
As I mentioned earlier, Mars is about to go retrograde from December 20 to March 10, and that may be the time to air problems and to negotiate new solutions. Whenever a planet retrogrades, it is a signal that it's a good time to go back and reconsider a previous decision or tweak a present situation to make it better. Of course, the decision you make may have to do with whether you want to stay with this person at all - see how you feel. There is nothing destined here - you will know your own mind. Every couple has disagreements - it means both sides are thinking. Yet if this alliance is not for you, you'll know that, too. Let's stay positive.
With Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, in Aquarius, a loving universe is protecting you. You are being given the chance to start a fresh, new cycle. Jupiter just went direct October 13, so it's working at top speed - your successes could be dramatic and very satisfying now on every level, personally and professionally,
Your natural charm will be so strong now that you can unlock heavy iron doors that would have normally taken a nine-foot giant armed with a crowbar to open. Trust in yourself and the value of all you have to give the world.
This is your wonder year, dear Aquarius - you have every right to be happy and to feel adored. Later you will say, "It was in 2009 that all my seeds took root - and I was too busy to notice!" Trust that you are in a highly potent phase of your life. Your actions will have special weight and import now that is neither typical nor common by any means!
Summary
Your financial outlook is far brighter now that Saturn has finally left your eighth house of credit, loans, venture capital, and "other people's money" late last month. Saturn had been testing your resourcefulness and judgment on monetary matters since September 2007 and Aquarians had a particularly hard time of it. You will get a respite for five months, for Saturn is gone for now, but Saturn will be back in this same house for 14 weeks from April 7 through July 21, 2010. After that, you will be out of the woods for 14 years, which should be a very comforting thought. In fact, the coming spring months will not be nearly as difficult as March and September turned out to be for you this year.
Saturn will move to an easier place to be from now on. From the ninth house, he will test your ability to change, grow, and learn, and with Uranus in sharp opposition, to step with the times. As an Aquarius, this is a no-brainer. You'll enjoy the intellectual emphasis of the coming three years, for considering ideas and viewpoints is part of your nature.
The start of the month will bring a home or family matter to a finish. You may move into a new home or see the contractors leave. As you survey all you've accomplished at home, you'll enjoy the changes you made and feel more secure and comfortable. If you've been concerned about a parent, you will come to a resolution about your mother or father's care within four days of November 2 and feel confident your decision was the right one. This won't be the easiest full moon, as planets will be squaring off, and you may wonder why everyone is second-guessing you. Still, this seems to be your question to solve, so don't worry about others' opinions - rely on your own judgment.
Your career will take on new life and vibrancy once you get to the new moon November 16. This new moon will shine in your tenth house of fame and honors and the talks you have and changes you make in the second half of November will set the tone for your professional life in the coming 12 months. This new moon will give you a rare opportunity to shoot for a top position. This means that if there is any job you have your eye on, you must gather your strength and make a concerted effort to get it once that new moon appears. With Uranus, your ruler, so beautifully angled to that new moon, opportunity may catch you by surprise, so you must be prepared. Start early getting your bio and resume ready - this would be a job you would not want to miss out on!
Romantically, if your partner has been hiding resentments, with Mars in your seventh house, you will hear about those grievances now. You will need to engender an atmosphere of openness for this to get solved, or otherwise things may fester. You may have a lengthy discussion that continues into mid-2010 - all depends on how serious the topic happens to be.
If you don't notice any tension, it likely means Mars has found no problems to show you and you have a very strong union. It's a time of give and take - enjoy it. With Venus heading to fire sign Sagittarius on December 1, your social life will take flight next month and it will be quite festive!
Dates to note:
A residential, property, or family situation will reach an apex on the full moon, November 2, plus or minus four days.
Mars is now in your seventh house for a long stay, until June 7. The need to collaborate and to compromise with others will become increasingly important in that time.
For some, Mars may bring up latent grievances between you and a close partner. If you find no disagreements, it means Mars found no latent problems between you.
At work, you may be thinking of signing an agent, other expert, or business partner. This could be a good idea - seems so, but things will go best after March 10. You can sign this person now - just expect a startup phase that will require some tweaking. Do not make any important initiations after December 9.
Mercury will retrograde from December 26 to January 16. If you need to buy something expensive, do it now, in November. You want to keep a two-week space before the retrograde begins, at the very least.
Your favorite days of the month will be November 11, 13, 14, or 25 when financial news may thrill you. If self-employed, a new client may come knocking or if you work for others, a solid salary offer or raise may come your way.
Mars in Leo will increase competition in the marketplace. You'll need to develop strategies to outmaneuver and outwit the other side.
Career opportunities will come up after the new moon, November 16, and they'll offer great pay. If you want a new job or new business for your own company, then get cracking.
Best romantic days: November 4, 5, 11, 13, 14, 21-22, 27, and 28.
You are now in a very critical phase, for Saturn has entered Libra for the first time since late 1980 to mid-1983. This teacher-taskmaster planet will remain in your lofty house of career honors and achievement until October 2012, with a brief exception of April 7 through July 21, 2010, when Saturn will back into Virgo, the place it's been over the past two years. Those 14 weeks will fly by, but they will give you a chance to perfect your strategy.
For the aggregate of the time, your thinking will be centered on your career reputation and the contribution you will make to your industry over the next three years. Capricorn is considered one sign most intent on getting ahead, so this is truly the moment you've awaited. Saturn's presence suggests that you'll aim for a high profile position that some VIPs will not be completely sure you will be ready to fill. Your job is to show you are eager and able to learn, and because you stay focused, are a quick study. You won't have much time to get ready, so it looks like you'll have on the job training. Saturn often requires sacrifice, so you will have to put in long hours, and you won't see the fullness of the rewards until late 2012.
The interesting part about Saturn crossing the very top of your chart, as you have now, is that you may decide to undergo a radical career change. The very presence of Saturn indicates that the wind is shifting, but you will not feel the fallout in an abrupt way. Rather, the change will be gradual, for that is how Saturn likes to work. This teacher-taskmaster planet will always ask that you study, grow, learn, and reach new standards. You will need to stop using old formulas to solve present day challenges, for you'll soon find they don't work anymore. Not to worry though, as there will be others around you to help you walk across the transom to a completely new place.
You may start a new business on your off hours that will grow significantly in the years ahead and allow you to quit your present job. Or, changes in your industry may force you to evolve to correspond to the needs of the marketplace, and in a few years you may be doing a different type of job within your area of expertise.
If you need more training or education, look into that, for now that Saturn is out of your ninth house, you may get a scholarship or financial aid that will make going very possible. This is true even if you have investigated before and were disappointed. Investigate your educational options this month, as Mercury will be in a very loving and helpful position, and Mercury rules your main house of higher education.
At first you may deny that anything is afoot in your career, or if you see shifts, bemoan the changes. That's normal. Then, however, you will step with the program because Saturn won't give you much of a choice. Certain doors will close, but new ones will open. Saturn likes to twist our arm until we say, "OK, OK, I will try a different method! I see the old ways are over!" As my mother used to say, "Man learns through pain." Ha, ha, we do learn that way best - and fast!
When Saturn comes by with his tough love tactics, we will do anything to get Saturn to stop pounding us. Admittedly, this planet may use extreme tactics, but they are effective. Getting people to change isn't easy, but remarkably after Saturn comes by, the vast majority of us start to see the idea of survival of the fittest in action. Those who are flexible and quick see when change is the only option.
The minute you try something new, Saturn will reward you, and that will be true even if you don't come up with the right answer the first time. Saturn will want to encourage you, and simply by diverting from the tried and true methods - the ones that are a bit old and worn out - you will see you are "getting warmer." As I wrote a few months ago, the sooner you adopt an experimental attitude, the sooner you will ease comfortably into your new role. Don't worry about this - when Saturn comes by, the gains you make stay with you forever. So while you may enter into this kicking and screaming, later you may laugh about your experience and admit that although Saturn made you go through a few tests, it was only for good!
Not every Capricorn will feel changes immediately. Those born near December 21-25 will feel them first, but remember that Saturn works in a gradual way.
Now that I have covered a very long-range trend, let's turn back to this month. While you let Saturn settle into his new house in your chart, you will have other, sweeter, things in life to keep you occupied.
As you begin the month, the full moon on November 2 should be a pure delight, for this full moon will fall in the sensuous sign of Taurus and tenderly light your fifth house of true love. If you haven't met someone special yet, this magnificent full moon may be your moment when it happens, so be sure to circulate, even if you are a little doubtful that you'd meet anyone new. If you are attached, then this full moon will allow you to enjoy life more, most likely with your one-and-only partner. Of course a full moon always brings things to culmination, so if your partner has something to say, you'll know it now, but let's think positively. It does look like you'll enjoy early November.
All full moons have a wide area of influence, so you may already have had a thrilling moment over the weekend of October 31-November 1, or you may be looking ahead to your night of a million twinkling stars on November 5 or 6. (It is possible it may come as late as November 7, but it seems doubtful that this event would come that late in the week.) You seem concerned about the money, but hopefully you were (or will be) able to cut a few corners to enjoy this social phase that seems destined to come.
If your birthday falls on December 31 or within five days of this date, you will just love this full moon. Let me assure you, however, that every Capricorn will have something special to enjoy this weekend.
There are two other possible outcomes from this full moon. First, if you are an actor, work in a creative field, or if you have a creative hobby, you appear to be finishing up that project. Perhaps you will now be ready to show it to the world. If you are working on a creative idea, money may again come into play. You may have to change your creative plan a bit if costs have mounted too high - see how things play out.
The other possibility at this full moon may be that you talk about having a baby and make a solid plan to do so, or that you are already pregnant and due any moment. Babies tend to come on full moons, so hopefully you have your bags packed!
Matters involving pregnancy, birth, adoption, or the care for children you already have could be top of mind on November 2. The stork may be visiting soon! If you have children, you may be thinking about one child in particular. Perhaps your child will make you proud or that you will do something special for your child, such as find the right school or tutor for him, or help your child complete a fascinating, but complicated homework project.
Travel is also indicated now, and as a matter of fact, you may take a long trip on Tuesday, November 10, or over the weekend of November 13-14. Any of these days would be perfect for a little jaunt and it doesn't matter if you go for business or pleasure. It does seem your trip will be one that won't take you too far, but no matter. The Sun and Uranus will be acting like loving little relatives to remind you that you've been working too hard and need a refreshing change of scene. November 10, 13, and 14 each deserve a gold star for travel and also for your superb ability to communicate clearly and in an original way.
You will be back to socializing mode just after the new moon in Scorpio in your eleventh house of hopes and wishes on November 16. This is a gorgeous new moon, and it will help you sit back, laugh, exchange a few jokes, and connect with friends. Venus will be touring this house, making for silky smooth encounters, and the events you attend are likely to be "A list" happenings populated with attractive, stylish people that will generate lots of conversation in the air. You might mix business into these events, for a new moon in Scorpio is about money - and your networking may help you make more.
You will have two weeks in which to take full advantage of this new moon November 16, but why not start immediately? In your travels around, you may make a new friend. You might even make a new friend online, as Uranus, the planet associated with electricity and the digital age, will send this new moon and Sun a powerful, friendly golden beam from your third house of communication. You might also join an online community, perhaps one that centers on a topic dear to your heart, and learn quite a bit in the process. If you want to join a new club, this is the time to do so.
If you were born on January 15 plus or minus five days, you will reap the biggest benefits from this new moon November 16.
Financially, you seem to have entered a high spending phase, where you will be spending quite a bit of money over several months. If you are not spending, then you may be negotiating a financial deal that will take some time to settle, such as the division of property in a divorce or a big business deal.
Still, when it comes to money, things will look up in November. Last month, on October 13, Jupiter, the good fortune planet, moved forward in your earned income sector, after having been retrograde since June 15. If you feel that the past months haven't been great for your finances, that would be understandable, but things are changing.
Even if you were happy with your income lately, you are about to see a chance to bring in more cash. One of your best days of the month will be November 27-29, when Mercury and Jupiter will be beautifully in sync. Your luck may arrive in the form of a check, but it may alternatively show up in the form of a wonderful bargain or the ability to buy something expensive below retail.
Speaking of shopping, Mercury will retrograde from December 26 to January 16, but you will see things begin to go slow down in an annoying way as soon as December 9. Do your holiday shopping this month, and finish up no later than the date stated, December 9. Retailers will keep stocks low this year, so you may find the perfect gift item only to be told it is completely sold out. You may encounter problems with shipping too, if you wait, so wouldn't you rather put the funds into the gift itself? This year is not like prior years, so shop early!
Some of the sweetest days of the month will occur in the last week. On Tuesday, November 24, you will have an outstanding day to seal a plan or promise to someone. Any action you take on November 25 will have long range potential. Saturn, your ruler, will be in gorgeous angle to the Sun, so it will be a very fortunate day. Use it to your advantage. You might sign papers on this day too, and it would be a fine idea.
Wednesday, November 25, will brings Venus in Scorpio into perfect angle to Uranus in Pisces, a lovely aspect for a lively time with friends, and also for taking a little trip not too far from home. If single, you may flirt with someone new - and be happy to discover that you both want to see one another again. This will be a sexy evening, and with the moon in Pisces, it would have a touch of poetry, too.
In the United States, Thanksgiving falls on November 26, and happily, Mercury, planet of travel, will be in a perfect angle to Mars, planet of action, making it an ideal day to visit family or friends.
Even if you aren't in the US and celebrating Turkey Day, this should be a very positive day to be on the road. One day when travel is not indicated, however, will be Monday, November 30, when Uranus is at odds with Mercury - go earlier, go later, but not on this day. This is not the day to shop, barter, or to negotiate deals either.
You've got a busy month, dear Capricorn! It's a solidly social month, even more so than December will be, so have fun!
Summary
Your ruling planet is Saturn, so when Saturn makes a shift into another sign for the first time in two years, that's news. Now that Saturn just entered Libra on October 29, you will be given a rare opportunity to make a name for yourself in your career. The new role you will take on at work will represent a major step up, but will require much hard work and focus before you feel fully confident that you are in control of all aspects of the position. The process will be a long one - taking three years - but as the surefooted goat, you have patience and stamina, one of the secrets of your success. Saturn teaches us that the most valuable things we gain in life are those we fought for - not the ones we were given on a silver platter.
You may land a corporate job, or you may strike out and start your own business. The rewards for taking on this challenge will be considerable, more than any you've seen so far in life, so you will likely accept the challenge. You may have already had talks about this new career opportunity in October. If not, sit tight - it will come in the months ahead, possibly in April. You are being studied by higher ups for this bigger role, so keep your work to the highest standards and above reproach.
This whole month will have a strongly romantic tone too, something you'll see at the full moon in Taurus, November 2 plus or minus four days. This full moon will light your house of true love, so if you're dating, you'll see an important development between you and your sweetheart at that time. If you are not dating, you could not wish for a more perfect time to try your luck at a party or other mixer.
This full moon will be in elegant angle to Saturn, so any relationship you start would likely have staying power, and with a nod to Pluto in Capricorn, it could be downright transformative. If you are with someone, this full moon would be a great time to try for a baby if the time feels right for you.
Your best romantic days for all Capricorn, married or single: November 1, 2-6, 14-15, 19-20, 24, 26, and 29.
Later in the month, the new moon November 16 will coax you out to make new friends. You'll see the start of a very social time, and invitations sent to you in late November will likely turn out to become even more exciting than those that will arrive in December.
It looks like money is running through your fingers lately. There are many possible causes, but the most likely one seems to be a rather ambitious home-related project or purchase of property you have planned. Your best days to find a way to make more money, which may arrive quite unexpectedly, would come November 13 and 14, and again on November 25. It would be money earned, not won.
Overall, your prospects for making an excellent salary are very strong. Don't be shy about speaking up for what you are due.
Dates to note:
Look forward to a romantic episode to steal your heart or light your imagination: November 2, plus or minus four days.
If parenthood beckons, this full moon may bring news of a pregnancy or news that an adoption is coming through! If you have children, you will hear something exciting about one of them at this time, within four days of November 2.
If you are an artist or actor, you may now get quite a bit of attention for a project you just completed, also at the full moon, November 2.
You seem to be easing into a new role in your career, due to the new appearance of Saturn in your house of professional honors and promotion. You are ambitious, so this should please you.
Despite mounting career responsibilities, your social life won't suffer one bit. To make this point more obvious, the new moon November 16 will have you rubbing shoulders with many more people, and you may make a number of new friends. Late November will be livelier than early December, so indulge in all the fun and festivities that come your way now.
Your finances seem to be running heavy and will be a determining factor in all you choose to do this month. This is a long trend that will be extending to June 2010, but within that phase, the first quarter of 2010 will bring a measure of relief.
Even though expenses are heavy, if you need to buy an expensive item for yourself, or for a beloved relative or friend, buy it now, not in December. Mercury will go retrograde December 26, but you will begin to see problems crop up with Mercury a full two weeks earlier (if not more!)
Despite the high level of spending you will be subject to these days, and the gloom you may feel about your dwindling bank account, sudden and very positive financial news may arrive November 10, 13 - 14, and again on November 25.
On the minus side, November 30 will be an adverse day for spending, traveling, making deals, or for hearing financial news. Lie low.
Best romantic days: November 1, 2-6, 14-15, 19-20, 24, 26, and 29.
When planets square off, as they will in early November, it simply means that conditions in one part of your life are reaching a point where you can't quite ignore them any longer.
The more I study astrology, the more I am convinced that the universe is on our side. Often we don't see the truth of this because we feel inconvenienced that have to deal with things we would rather not do at all. These planets add extra work to our schedule, so we get cranky. But the universe is quite insistent sometimes, as it will be at the full moon November 2. Pay attention to the news that comes up. All month - including the time around this full moon - you will see a powerful emphasis on medical, fitness, and nutrition as well as on your psychological well-being.
You will have time for checkups and procedures that you've pushed aside for lack of time, so get out your cell phone and make those calls to your doctor and dentist. Get your blood pressure and cholesterol checked and your teeth cleaned. Make sure you have the right prescription for your reading glasses. Schedule the colonoscopy, and if you are a woman, a mammogram. Doing all this will make you feel virtuous later, and you'll begin your birthday year feeling great.
If you want to recommit to a fitness plan, or are bored with the one that you have been following until now, you may decide to hire a trainer, join a new class, or buy some DVDs at the full moon November 2. That is when all sorts of health matters will come up for attention. You seem to be determined to develop a healthier lifestyle at this full moon, so go with that new emphasis.
At the same time, within four days of November 2, you will finish up a key work project at the office. There will be quite a team effort at this time, so you won't have to persuade anyone to get on deck - they'll be there. The pressure will be on to get it done, but you will, so don't torture yourself with worries that you will miss the deadline.
Keep yourself strong and keep using hand sanitizer. While you are at the doctor's you may want to ask about getting a flu shot. The reason you may want to arm yourself against the flu is that you have Mars lighting your house of long distance travel, so it appears you will be on the road and in and out of airports now and in months to come. Being in the enclosed space of an airplane, it is easier to catch a cold. With budget cuts everywhere, news reporters suggest carrying antiseptic wipes to clean your tray table, airplane armrests and buttons, hotel room light switches, remote controls, in-room telephone, door knobs, and other surfaces in an attempt to stay healthy.
You seem to be involved with an interesting deal that is percolating abroad, and because there may be just so much you can do from your computer, you may want to fly to certain people at a distance in person. Academia, publishing, and broadcasting are other areas of gain for you in coming months, so you may want to submit applications, exchange letters, and work on this project intensely now while you have a productive month. Hurry things along if you can.
Here is why. Mars will light these areas of your chart, but will soon go retrograde. Once you get to December 20, Mars will shut down in retrograde, and stay that way until March 10. It would not be wise to travel during that phase because very little will be accomplished. You will see a lilt to these types of topics - travel, international relations, publishing, broadcasting, and anything having to do with gaining a higher education or teaching at an institution - in February, but there will still be pieces of the puzzle that will need to fall into place. Those will show up in mid-March.
To add to the slowdown, Mercury, planet of communication and negotiation, will go retrograde too, from December 26 to January 16. While you may say to yourself, "Well, I have until December 26 in which to act on deals and shop for expensive things," in reality you don't. Mercury will enter into a mathematically significant phase on December 9 that will crank up the confusion, so you don't really have as much time as you may assume. This all means that December will move at the speed of a little turtle, so you will need to hurry along plans in November and not rely on December at all. I suggest you be completely finished with major plans, agreements, and purchases by December 9.
Your career has been very demanding ever since Saturn entered your tenth house of professional progress in September 2007. Happily, Saturn finally departed this part of your chart on October 29, so you should see an almost immediate up tick to career events. Saturn will be back to this part of your chart from April 7 to July 21, 2010, a period of only 14 weeks, and after that you will be done with your cosmic career test until 2036.
The past two years, as a result of Saturn's testing and tutoring, you've become more practical and gained some needed seasoning that will give you new luster. You will get rewards for dealing with the recent pressures, so be comforted in that knowledge - those goodies will come soon, possibly in late summer or early autumn next year. For now, you are feeling less pressure, so enjoy it.
The new moon of November 16 will occur in your twelfth house of the subconscious, a good time to see a therapist or coach if you feel you have something you need to get off your chest. It's also an ideal time to begin a disciplined approach to end a bad habit. This new moon will be in the fixed sign of Scorpio, and that's a sign that could bore through a brick wall with the strength of their determination. Use this energy to your advantage to get rid of that old habit, dear Sagittarius.
This new moon period, which will last two weeks after it appears November 16, will help you find time to rest and relax. Again, medical matters will come up for discussion, but this new moon will give you plenty of time to get checkups and procedures off your agenda.
Tuesday, November 24, would be perfect to use for any medical procedure, for Saturn will send the Sun a lovely beam. You may be able to get a complete cure, or at least long-term relief. I can't see everything in your chart, so I can't be entirely sure, but it sure looks like a good day to schedule medical or dental matters. (Yes, dental too - Saturn rules teeth and bones as well.) See how you feel, and of course, never do a procedure without doing your homework and if necessary, getting a second opinion.
Your home seems to have been an area of concern for a long time, possibly for years. The good news is that the long weekend of Friday, November 13, to Sunday, November 15, may bring a breakthrough to a home, real estate, or family question you've been trying to solve. If so, you'll have Uranus to thank, for this planet of unanticipated news will be in perfect sync with the Sun.
Another good day for home-related interests, including entertaining with flair and style, will be November 25, when Venus will work with Uranus to bubble up plenty of happy experiences. This will be the night before Thanksgiving in the USA. If you are cooking the turkey for your clan, invite family or friends over to help you ready the dishes you'll serve and to help you set the table. They'll have a riot of a time doing so together on that night, and that means less work for you.
The moon will be in Aries on Thanksgiving (November 26), a fellow fire sign like yours, so the day will go well. Mercury, the planet ruling your relationship with your closest partner, will be in lovely angle to Mars, so things should go really well on the holiday.
If you are not American and won't be celebrating Turkey Day, you will still have two marvelous days to enjoy.
Romantically, you'll do best this month once the Sun enters Sagittarius on November 22 and in the days that follow. You'll feel stronger and more vibrant, more willing to mix and mingle, for you will have accomplished a lot this month by then. If you have started exercising, you will also have more energy and that will show, too.
You will have Venus in Sagittarius next month, starting December 2, the same day when you will experience a full moon in your house of commitment and marriage. All full moons are operative for four days on either side of the date the moon arrives, so you may have quite a major romantic event as soon as November 28! Perhaps you will get engaged for your birthday, or if you are already married, you may hear some big, exciting news form a partner.
This month, your most romantic dates will include: November 8, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 21-23, and 27-28.
Summary
This would be an ideal month to either to start a fitness plan or if you have been working out, ratchet it up another notch within four days of the full moon, November 2. It may become clear to you that continuing on the same path won't allow you to maintain fitness, let alone allow you to build strength. Don't wait for January 1 to make a New Year's resolution about your fitness, for you won't have this glorious new moon's blast of energy. It would be a shame to let it fade. Harnesses it, for Pluto, the great transformer, will cooperate with this moon all the way!
Your timing will be perfect because at the same time - the first week of November - you'll be finishing a big project at the office. After working long hours to reach your deadline, you'll appreciate the stress relief that a good workout can bring. Sagittarius is known to be naturally athletic, and you almost always feel better after having been active. If you feel a cold coming on - quite possible at this full moon November 2 - then stop and rest first.
This month, you may hit on the right solution to solve that property or residential question on November 14. It's also the perfect day to shop for home items, to hire a designer or architect, to look at new apartments or houses, or to interview for a new roommate. A perfect day to entertain or to shop would be November 25.
You won't be home much in months to come, however, now that Mars will be streaking through your long distance travel sector until early June 2010. You must be quite excited about your upcoming trips because it looks like you will be going overseas, or at the very least will have a lot of interaction with people abroad on the telephone or email.
Alternatively you may be starting a university degree program now that will turn out to stimulate you so much that it will lead you down a whole new road. You will look back and say, "The period from October 2009 to May 2010 changed my life's direction, and it came through my studies or travels." The coming influence will be major!
At month's end, you may want to lighten up your schedule. You may notice that your batteries will need recharging, and it's a good time to meditate about what you would like to add in the coming year. Conversely, if there is anything - or anyone - you would not want to bring with you in the twelve months ahead, you need to find the courage to delete them at the new moon, November 16. Endings can be hard, but they are part of life, dear Sagittarius. Make a clearing so that the universe can add the new people and opportunities after your birthday.
This month would also be the ideal time to start to rid yourself of self-destructive habits and to substitute them with better habits that would strengthen you physically, mentally, and emotionally. You are getting ready for an exciting birthday year, and the ancient astrologers always felt that the month prior to your birthday was a critical one for these types of meditations. In November, your resolution will help you overcome any obstacle or challenge, no matter how large or small. Indeed, your powerful determination will become the cornerstone of your success now.
Dates to Note:
You seem to be focused on global issues and open to various international and cultural influences. You may travel abroad or you may communicate a great deal with individuals in other countries. A yen for going back for an advanced degree may also accompany this trend: all month.
A big project or assignment may be finished up: at the full moon, November 2, plus four days.
Protect your health and increase fitness near this same full moon, November 2. If you feel tired, get rest.
At the new moon in your twelfth house, November 16, plan to wind down activities for a few weeks while you meditate about what you'd like for your new year ahead. If you need a coach or therapist to help you sort out options and develop a plan of action to rid yourself of bad habits or a destructive relationship, seek one at that time.
If you are looking for a job, you may get news of an offer and settle things at some point in the week of November 1-6. The job would be on a level similar to the level you are on now, but that might be fine with you.
If you need to make changes in your home, you may find a stroke of luck on November 13-14, or on November 25. Those dates will also be good ones to entertain family or friends.
Don't sign any papers on November 30. Do so earlier or in December's first week (even better).
Travel over November 14-15 or 25-26, but not on November 30.
After December 16 you'll get a chance to unwind and slow down. Take the opportunity before your holiday schedule begins heating up again. Travel will increase your desire and possibilities for romance.
Most romantic dates: November 8, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 21-23, and 27-28.
This is due to be a dazzling month for you, for you have much going for you in many areas. Let's look at your career first, for in November it's clear you will be able to make quite a bit of progress. You will show even more gains in 2010, from mid-February through early June, but this month will be strong for you, too. You may think no one at the top has noticed all the good work you have been doing, but that's not true. VIPs not only have noticed but are wondering how they can help you get ahead while they still manage to keep YOU in their corner. The idea is not to let a competitor get you!
In order to understand your career situation, let me show you the big picture. Mars, your ruler, is now in the leadership sign of Leo, touring your tenth house of fame and honors until June 7, a place Mars entered on October 16. However, as he moves forward, Mars is running himself down. As Mars gets closer to the date he will go retrograde - that's December 20 - he will move at an increasingly slower rate, a little like a marathon runner who has hit a wall and is struggling to keep going. When Mars is retrograde, it will not be a positive time to initiate any new commercial product or service launches or to enter into any other competitive efforts or contests, even athletic ones. Those require a strong Mars - a sleeping Mars will not help you.
This month would still be the right time to delve into career opportunities, but as you get closer to March 10, conditions will get even better. Before that happens, the full moon on January 30 may bring exciting career news too, but even so, I feel that you will get better results after March 10. There's a strong possibility that what happens at the full moon January 30 may be tied to future events coming up March 10. If you have the option, that would be the time to begin - in March.
Keep up the good work, dear Scorpio, because you will reap the rewards soon. Even if you were already awarded a promotion in October (very possible), I feel incoming professional news will continue to be exciting. If you don't already feel very prized by the marketplace, you will in a matter of months. This is the most sustained attention you have received from the cosmos in two years, so enjoy it, dear Scorpio.
Now let's turn to other things happening this month.
A partner - and possibly a commitment - may be on your mind as the month begins. The full moon of November 2 in Taurus is bringing a relationship to fullness and the question will be: Are you ready to tie the knot or make things more official? If you are in love, you may be getting engaged for your birthday. If you are already attached, you may hear important news from your partner. Full moons are always on a mission to speed progress, but if that full moon exposes problems, it will almost force you to discuss things fully and decide what to do - fix things or leave. While most Scorpios will feel the energy of this full moon in terms of a romantic relationship, it could be all about a business alliance too, but if so, it would be someone you work with very closely in a highly collaborative way.
This full moon has some problems attached, as planets will be based in the four corners of the sky and each of them will refuse to work with the other planets. It's every man for himself and alas, you may feel that it seems that way here on Earth, too. You may not notice frustrations in matters of love, other than having to present your feelings and ideas persuasively to your partner, lest he or she dismiss them out of hand, but you could find it hard to reach accord in a business. I am a strong believer in the power of love, but in business, we can't rely on those sturdy bonds.
If you are finding problems getting agreement, you may find that talks go better later in the month, as you go along. Stay optimistic - you need to get away from the full moon to make progress. However - and this is a big caveat - if you should see troubling things in the character of a partner, it may end the relationship immediately, as it should. Here I am talking about any kind of relationship. It's impossible to know what this full moon will find - an issue that's easy to solve, or one that is completely off the grid and impossible to tolerate. You'll know the difference. Remember, all full moons point to how things have been going all along. You are not operating in a vacuum - we are tied to events that have already happened. If you have a good strong relationship, you will know it now and can celebrate it!
Your home and family seem to have taken some attention lately, too. You may be unclear about what you want to do about your home situation - perhaps you are worried that your landlord will raise your rent too high when the lease is renewed, or you may wonder if you should accept the offer on a house you are trying to sell. Parents come under the fourth house sector too, so, for example, if one or both of your parents have been wrangling with a health concern, it may be that the doctors still don't know the probable outcome or right diagnosis. My examples are meant to prove one point: Confusion seems to have colored this area of your chart.
The good news is that as of November 4, when Neptune moves direct, the fog will lift. Watch what you hear and how you feel when home- or family-related news comes in the days surrounding November 4. Neptune has been retrograde since the end of May, a very long time, so you should see a signal that things are finally on track now.
If you have a design or decorating question, on November 2 Venus will send a beautiful beam to Neptune. Any kind of decision that is based on making your home more stylish and inviting would go very well.
You currently have Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, in your house of home, other property, and family until January 17, 2010, a great protection to all these areas of your life. Jupiter has been retrograde since June 15, but went direct only a few weeks ago, on October 13. Even if you have had difficult news lately (perhaps over the summer) about your home or other property you are involved with or about a family matter, you now have a strong Jupiter working for you. Keep your spirits up! Things are improving day by day - believe it!
You would be wise to make any necessary changes to your home before that window of opportunity closes. Or, try hard to help your mother or father, if one needs help. This is a rare, once-a-decade tour of Jupiter, and when he leaves, he will not be back until 2020. While in this house, you can make vast improvements to your lifestyle and living situation that you may find much harder to do in years to come. If you can afford to make changes in November, do, for you won't always have such glorious aspects.
There is reason to make November your month to make decisions, though, because Mercury will go retrograde from December 26 to January 16, and you will feel the slowdowns and frustrations from retrograde Mercury as soon as December 9. You should sign all papers no later than December 9, and you should buy electronic items and expensive furniture this month. It goes without saying that all your holiday shopping should be done by December 9. When spending money, you should always aim to stay as far away as possible from the start of Mercury retrograde period.
When you get to the new moon in Scorpio, November 16, your life will take on a new glow. This new moon will be your annual birthday gift from a loving universe. Each month you get one new moon in a different part of your chart, and each month I show you how to take full advantage of it, depending on where that new moon will fall.
This time the new moon will fall in your solar first house, the house that describes the essence of your personality and how you view yourself. It is the house that holds all your deeply held thoughts and dreams, and all your plans to move ahead in certain areas. These are private thoughts, entirely yours, so I can't tell you what they are, but you already know. You will have two weeks from November 16 to make an initiation on something dearly important to you.
As you see, the cosmos is giving you a lovely wild card, so you can direct the energy of this new moon in any area of your life. Do you want a new job? Then start the interview process. Do you want to find love? Begin to circulate after November 16. Do you hope to welcome a baby? Start trying or begin the process of adoption after that new moon appears. This new moon will receive a powerful, beneficial beam from Uranus, the planet of surprise, and you'll likely love the news and spontaneous events that surface just after it appears.
The closer your birthday falls to November 16, the more you will benefit from what occurs. All Scorpios will have reason to celebrate that new moon on some level, but those born within five days of November 16 will have the most dramatic news. This moon falls at 25 degrees Scorpio, so if it touches a different planet in your chart or your Scorpio rising, you will benefit, too.
Romantically, things should be hot during birthday month! Venus will tour Scorpio from November 7 to December 2, a time when your magnetism will be sky high and you will have a very strong effect on a potential partner. When Venus is in Scorpio - a once-a-year event - it is the very best time to think about shopping for new clothes, or to refresh your look, for you'd love the changes you make and others would notice them, too.
Your very best weekend of the month for fun and love is likely to be from Friday night, November 13, through Sunday, November 15. The Sun and Uranus will be perfectly in sync, allowing every star in your sky to twinkle more brightly. This weekend will be filled with all the right surprises! This weekend will also be quite stellar for working on a creative project.
I also love November 25, when Venus in Scorpio will reach out to Uranus in Pisces. Venus will be in your first house, and Uranus, planet of unanticipated events, will be in your house of true love. What a lovely night!
In the United States, we have Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 26, and on that day, Mercury will be in perfect angle to Mars. Oddly enough, you may get some good news about money then, or the day before. Perhaps your boss will be feeling generous and give you a small bonus or gift? Some people have to work on holidays, and I hope you don't, but if you do, it looks like you will be paid well. Of course, you may not live in America, and in that case, by all means, have a meeting on November 25 or 26 for business - you are likely to be pleased with the result.
I see another good day, November 29, for seeing a rise income, too. Although this extra money looks like it represents earned income, the money may come as a check or gift from your family or partner - see how this works out.
Romance will be best on November 7, 11, 14-16, 20, 24, and 25. On November 2, things could be either exciting or difficult - see how things go. Let's think good thoughts!
Summary
This may be an important month for your love life. Saturn has finally moved out of your house of friendship, so if you've had problems making new friends, perhaps because you moved to a new city, you will find that life will take a surprisingly quick turn for the better. If you were worried about the welfare of a friend, that person should now enter a better phase. Saturn was testing your ability to help others and to get along with friends and groups, too. If anyone tried to take advantage of your good nature, Saturn showed you that too, for you were learning to see others' motivations clearly. You are now done with Saturn's testing, so you will be entering into a more carefree, happy social life from now on.
If you are single, new friends that you meet now will help you meet new romantic partners. The houses ruling both areas are linked on opposite sides of the wheel, so when energy is found in one house, it affects both houses. One of your best days for an electric first meeting of a new romantic partner, possibly because you meet through a friend or at a friend's party, will be Saturday, November 14.
Also, Venus will be in Scorpio from November 7 - 30, during which time your charisma will be at an all-time high. That will be a great time to circulate or to reignite a present relationship to the smoldering passion of your first days together. Scorpio is nothing if not passionate!
The month opens with a full moon in Taurus on November 2, one that will illuminate the truth of your closest relationship, but the odds are in your favor, so there's no need to feel stress. Admittedly, this will be a testing point, where you will see how you are doing as a couple, or if you have a business partnership, how easily you collaborate.
If things have been going well, they will get even better! In fact, you may get engaged or married at this tender full moon or sign papers in a business agreement. If things have been unhappy or off track, you will see that too, and have to decide what to do, whether to fix things or leave. The choice will be yours, but Pluto will be very supportive, and Pluto is your ruler. All things will work to your favor at this time.
Your moment to shine will come on the new moon in Scorpio, November 16, when you will get to put a project dear to you into the wild blue yonder. This new moon will be so beneficial that you would be wise to wait for it to appear first before starting or presenting any new plan or endeavor that you have been cultivating. You will have two weeks after, but your best days will extend from November 17 to 20. That new moon will dazzle for you! Happy Birthday!
Dates to watch:
A relationship will reach a crest and be a source of enlightenment or scrutiny on November 2, plus or minus four days.
Announce plans once you see the new moon in Scorpio arrive, November 16.
Your career will zoom this month, thanks to Mars in your tenth house of fame and honors. Press hard while you have such sunny vibes. Once Mars and Mercury go retrograde in the second half of December, you won't see the same speedy progress. You will have to wait until after you pass March 10.
Your home should be a source of great inspiration: November 2, 13, 14, 25, and 26. Buy new things to pretty things up on those dates, or entertain friends or family - or both!
Be careful what you say to a sweetheart or spouse on November 30 - things could quickly become tense.
Work on a creative project over November 13-15.
Money luck follows you November 26 and 29.
Venus will be in Scorpio from November 7 - 30. Use this period to freshen up your look and buy new things for you!
Romance will be best on November 2 (wild card, could go either way), 7, 11, 13-16, 20, 24, and 25.
Saturn is now in Libra, and in the coming years Saturn will show you a vision of your best self. While Saturn is known to push and prod, what you achieve under the coming three years will stay with you forever. Saturn will stay in Libra until October 2012, with a brief exit to Virgo from April 7 to July 21. Three years with Saturn may sound like a long time, but actually we never feel ANY planet the whole time it tours a sign - mainly it happens when a planet comes within five degrees of your Sun or another planet. In other words, you feel Saturn's direct rays for far less time, usually about nine months.
If you were born in the beginning of Libra, say, from September 24 to 27, you will be first to feel this trend. Saturn comes by every 29 years, so this is a rare occurrence. Since this teacher planet will have to spend time with all the other signs, now that you have Saturn, Saturn will have to impart its wisdom in a way that will stay with you for nearly three decades.
You are fortunate in that Saturn in Libra is considered the finest place for Saturn to be - the ancient astrologers said Saturn in Libra is "exalted" in your sign, for Libra can express the most balanced sides of Saturn and avoid being overly harsh or cold. In Libra, Saturn is said to be warmer and less dry - all good news for you because you will absorb lessons more easily.
Under Saturn trends, you may decide to do something to stabilize your life in a big way. You may, for example, buy your first house, get married, have a baby, start a business, or write your first book. These are just examples, but you get the idea. What you choose to do will be new to you and not be easily undone, for the very reason you are doing it is to add a sturdy pillar to your life. You are beginning the next chapter of your life and your new challenge will seem a bit like a rite of passage.
Admittedly, the challenge you take on may seem a little daunting, but only at first because it is new and unfamiliar to you and there will be lots to learn. You will have experienced people around you, so you won't be pushed into the deep end of the pool - you can ask for help. You won't be forced to accept this challenge but will do so because the end rewards will be well worth the effort. You will gain stability, status, and maturity and in the process become your own person.
Saturn will make you work very hard toward your goal over a very long time, so you will need to be patient. Saturn knows that nothing of value in life comes without commitment, planning, and self-discipline. Saturn may be a tough guy, but the rewards you gain will stay with you forever and yield the kind of pride you've never known. He never rewards DURING his teaching course, but rather later.
One downside of Saturn in Libra is the need to bolster your health. A chronic problem could flair up, or you could have problems with bones or teeth, so you will need to be sure to get enough calcium. You may want to get a few tests from your doctor as you begin this period, and find out if taking vitamins would be advised. It will also be important to see your dentist more often - go for frequent cleanings. If you are always at the dentist, you will catch anything that might come up quickly (that's my theory anyway!)
If you are scared of going to the dentist, it probably means you haven't gone lately. New techniques will make you comfortable, so you will likely be surprised at how easily things go. If you are worried about the costs of seeing a dentist, go to a fine dental university in your area and you will cut costs in half. University professors will oversee the work done on you.
Speaking of money, you seem to be very focused on cash flow this month. The month will start out on November 2 with a full moon in Taurus in your solar eighth house of credit and financial obligations. The planets will all be pulling in different directions at the time, so you may find that sending out a check is a bit difficult. You seem to have to do it, but you may have to do a little fancy footwork to find the funds.
Your financials will get better later in the month, so don't give up or get depressed. You have several powerful aspects coming down the pike that you can take advantage of, so mark them on your calendar and be ready to use them to your full advantage.
Your first opportunity will come November 11, when Mercury and Uranus will work together, allowing you to come up with a bundle of fresh ideas for a creative or literary project, or to make more money. Mercury is now in your second house of earned income and will send a beam to Uranus in your house of work projects. You may get a new client or side job or find a way to make overtime pay. Work and money will be nicely united on this day, November 11.
On November 13, a Friday, and the following day, Saturday, November 14, you will have an outstanding opportunity to find more work, perhaps to do on the side, perhaps over the weekend. Keep your cell phone powered up because the opportunity could come in weird and very sudden ways. It looks like you will be at the right place at the right time.
You will have a chance to improve your finances even more after the new moon, November 16. In fact, you may even hear of a raise or get an offer for a new job.
Uranus, the planet that brings lightning bolts of news, will be very friendly to that new moon, so expect the unexpected! Uranus is in your house of work projects, so it appears that your performance on a current project may put you on the short list of "employees we don't want to lose." If you're interviewing for a new job, you will go on the list of "candidates we need to compensate well to attract and keep." Either way, you could be sitting very pretty. I will admit that if you change jobs this month, you would likely move to a job on the same level, not one that brings more power or responsibility. There will be a major eclipse in your career status and honors sector next month on December 31. That eclipse may bring big news, so before you make any big decisions, you may want to wait to see what happens then.
Next month, Mercury will go retrograde on December 26 and stay out of phase until January 16. Be smart and get all your holiday shopping done by December 9, the date delays and problems will show up. Mercury enters into a mathematically significant period then, and you really can't shop for expensive things after that. If you do, you will likely buy things that will yield you or your recipient little to no satisfaction. Never buy electronic items anywhere near Mercury retrograde, so if you want to get a computer for yourself or a family member, do so now. It's never wise to make important decisions when Mercury is retrograde either, so bide your time.
You will need some diversion from all these financial meditations and actions, and Mars will see that you get plenty. You are fortunate in that the Red Planet will be make your social life vibrant, but I will admit, this month you may find that going out with friends could prove expensive. If you are determined to keep costs down - which seems certain - then when friends invite you to get together, before you go, have a look at the restaurant's menu online to estimate costs. If you are horrified at how expensive that place happens to be, you might suggest an alternative meeting place that can be just as enjoyable but that won't leave you poverty stricken.
Romantically, you are lucky that you have Jupiter, planet of good fortune, in your house of true love in 2009, a once-in-12-year-visit. If you are saying to yourself, "Yes, but this year has not been THAT great for me in the love department," I say this: Yes, that might be the case, but you have reason to be optimistic. Last month, on October 13, Jupiter resumed direct motion after months of being retrograde. This means you will have Jupiter working for you at double power through the reminder of the year. Make it a point to socialize more! Mars will help make that happen, and the coming holidays will bring more invitations for parties.
Venus will be in Libra during the first week of November, the time you should see about updating your appearance. You will want to look your best from now on, and Venus is standing by to help! This is true for both men and women Libras - no one will be left out.
My favorite days for you for love will be November 25 and 26. In the United States, the second day will be Thanksgiving, so this is really good news! Of course, if you aren't in the US, you STILL will have plenty of fun on these days. Attached or single, these are your number one days for romance.
On the first day, Wednesday, November 25, Venus, your ruler, will be in an exciting angle to Uranus - the electricity should be quite sizzling. On the second day, Thursday, November 26, Mercury and Mars will be divinely angled, making conversation sparkle.
Actually, Saturday, November 28, should be fun too, for Mercury and Jupiter will collaborate, and all the activities you do, from shopping to travel, or late night talks over coffee or drinks, should be just right.
Your very best romantic dates include November 4-5, 8-9, 11-13, 21-22, 25 (gold star), and 27-28.
Before I go, I would like you to know that you will have two massive eclipses soon, a full moon lunar eclipse next month in Cancer, December 31, and a new moon solar eclipse in Capricorn on January 15, 2010. Both will affect your home or other real estate, or bring news about your immediate family, most likely one or both of your parents.
The December 31 eclipse will also bring important news about your career. Depending on your exact birthday, you may already have received news in these areas. If not, you may want to make very small moves this month until the eclipses have spoken.
As said, Mercury will be retrograde during the eclipse period, so until you get a bit beyond January 15, the path ahead may be a little confusing. If you feel that way, sit tight, especially in regard to career matters. The cosmic dust that is being kicked up will clear very soon.
If you planned to move house (if you have not already done so under the previous eclipses that occurred already this year) you CAN do so while Mercury is retrograde if you (hopefully) sign all papers before December 26, or better yet, prior to December 9. (I prefer you sign as FAR away as possible from the date Mercury goes retrograde.) Before the moving men arrive, mark all your boxes clearly and never give the movers your tax documents or jewelry to move - give those to a friend or family member to hold for safekeeping until you are settled. If you ever have to sign papers with Mercury retrograde, plan for massive changes in your living situation up ahead, and just be flexible.
You have an exciting chart these days, dear Libra, and no doubt you will be making lots of announcements in the weeks ahead. You have good fortune Jupiter's powerful protection now, so you have every reason to be happy and very confident!
Summary
Saturn is now in Libra, and is directing his gaze on September-born Libra and those with early degrees of Libra rising. Although those Libras will feel the changes toward a more stable, secure life that Saturn is known to bring, all Libras will notice that life has taken on a serious tone. Saturn will get you ready to build a firm foundation for the future, and although it will require a bit of hard work and concentration, later you will be very proud of what you created in the period of late 2009 to late 2012.
By the end of Saturn's visit in 2012, you will have made your life your own, reflected in the long-term goals you committed to during Saturn's three-year visit to your sign. Your new endeavor will have many new elements to it that you'll have to learn and master, but there will be elders nearby to help you do just that. After this period is done, you will emerge stronger and more mature, and others will treat you with more respect. You will move into a new life phase, so this is all very exciting.
To balance Saturn's serious tone, Mars in Leo will keep life lively and interesting. Friends will not only provide a large measure of fun and warmth, but they will also be of enormous help in your new life phase by offering advice to navigate through the new territory before you. You may, for example, have a baby, buy a house, or write a book, and friends who have done this will help you. From now through early June 2010, new people will simply pour into your life - it will be quite exciting.
On another note, this month will also strongly emphasize your finances. On November 2, you may need to send a check to pay your credit card bill, but if so, it seems larger than usual. Or, on a grander scale, you may finalize a divorce settlement or be offered a golden parachute from your employer if the company is cutting back. Alternatively, you may negotiate a line of credit, a mortgage, or financial aid from your college. You will have help from Pluto, so it seems you will be able to overcome obstacles and meet your goal.
The new moon of November 16 (plus 2 weeks) will help you get a raise, new job, or side job to supplement your income. Saturn will be in good angle to the Sun, a good sign of long-range stability. Uranus will be helpful too, so there's a chance you will suddenly get a side job or a lucrative new client. Neptune will be in hard angle - an aspect known to cloud issues - so be sure to get the financial aspects of the deal spelled out in writing from the start to avoid any misunderstanding. If you are a creative person doing a special job, be sure you have a clear view of what the client needs you to do, as Neptune rules creative projects, too.
Romantically, you are still in an outstanding period, for you have Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, touring your house of true love, creativity, and children. Jupiter will stay until mid-January. You have time to meet "the one" if you have not already, and or to have a baby if you wish. If you have children, they are being protected by this mighty giant - you probably need not worry about the welfare of your children these days. They seem fine! If married, you can have magical, romantic interludes with the one you love. Your most sparkling day of the month will be November 25, when Venus will send a kiss to Uranus.
Your very best romantic dates include November 4-5, 8-9, 11-13, 21-22, 25 (gold star), and 27-28.
Dates to note:
Money concerns could have you a bit tense at the full moon, November 2, plus or minus four days. Still, keep your cool, for opportunities to improve cash flow will come up later in the month.
November 11, 14, and 25 could prove to be unexpectedly positive for seeing an infusion of cash.
The new moon November 16 will also open a window of opportunity to either generate more business for you or help you get a raise. If you change jobs, you will likely get a new job on the same level, but it would likely pay you more. That's always good news!
Socially, you'll have an overabundance of invitations and things to do, so your only problem will be to pick and choose among the best. Not only will you have plenty of opportunities to meet up with old friends, you will also be able to make the acquaintance of new friends.
What will be your most exciting romantic night? That should be November 25.
Your very best romantic dates will be November 4, 5, 8, 9, 11-13, 21-22, 25 (gold star), and 27-28.
