The Astro-Sage November
Looking at the Heavenly Climate for November 2010 by Chris Anderson
“We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won’t need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don’t fire cannons to call attention to their shining… they just shine.” ~ Dwight L. Moody ~
Greetings Fellow Travelers!
November enters with the robust energy of Mars having entered Sagittarius on the 28th of October. The chela will undoubtedly have noticed their affairs speeding up as a new flow of intention and purpose begins to unfold. This energizing effect will be further enhanced by the passage of the wing-footed One over the 5th and 6th of November as Mercury advances through Scorpio’s Halls in trine to Jupiter and Uranus, near the back door of the House of the Fishes… optimism and sudden good fortune further the Pilgrim’s advance!
Intention and focus is called for as the Goddess comes to new on November 6th ~ placed midway through the Sun’s passage in the House of the Scorpion. At the same time a square from the Messenger to Lord Neptune and empathetic Chiron inspires the traveler to offer 3 bowls of rice in meditative supplication to Heaven, beseeching the Universe to extend clarity and illumination during this time of expanding potentiality.
November 7th finds Lord Neptune restored to his commitment to advance toward “home” as he goes direct and begins his passage into the Hall of the Fishes. Having been traveling the heavens for nearly 260 years, his Court awaits with excited expectation… this marks the final passage of the King’s return to His throne! Faire Venus continues to retreat back into the House of the Scales at this same time. The Maiden restores beauty and purpose to the Liberian Court before She directs with Jupiter on the 18th of the month.
Inspired to advance, Mercury joins Mars in the Archer’s Palace on the 8th of November. Mars and Mercury in Sagittarius betokens the fraying of fetters and the advancement of plans that have been long held in reserve… doors open for the worthy chela who is willing to seize the reins of control!
November 18th arrives and Lord Jupiter in Pisces turns direct with newfound purpose, as does Dame Venus in Libra… the elements of Water and Air combine to advance the Wheel’s motion. Good Karma replaces Bad Karma and the Heavens realign! The Pilgrim discovers that the meaning of patience is patience, and is restored to his path!
Mercury arrives at the seat of the Warrior, Lord Mars, on November 20th and during this day a conjunction occurs… mindfulness and reserve assuages the potential for conflict. Hasty words and combativeness have little reward!
