November 2009

Michelle Karen Book - Michelle Karen, M.A., D.F.Astrol.S.

November is an interesting month where we need to become more aware of our inner divinity and actively use the gifts of all that we are. After having gathered the insights that came to us around power, money and our relationship to structure, all we still are working on is developing our individuality and a true sense of freedom.

Uranus continues to be retrograde this whole month between 23º05’ and 22º42’’ Pisces.

These degrees are symbolized by “on a small island surrounded by the vast expanse of the sea, people are seen living in close interaction.” and “a materializing medium giving a séance”. Challenges that remove us further from our normal comfort zones are also making us tap into our inner resources and remember that we are a lot more powerful that we believe. In the face of a crumbling external reality, the more we focus on our inner reality, the more talents we shall discover. As we recreate our lives on a whole new, much truer basis, what we previously saw as a challenge becomes an opportunity for greater growth and happiness.

Neptune is retrograde only until 11/4 when it reaches 23º41’ Aquarius.

This degree is represented by “a man, having overcome his passions, teaches deep wisdom in terms of his experience.” There is no mistake in life, just lessons. As we learn from what we encounter on our journey, we become wiser, deeper and more serene.

Our Intentional Meditation

Our intentional meditation begins on Monday 11/2.

Take as many blank sheets as you will have intentions and place them out (on a balcony, near a window or in a garden) to be charged by the Full Moon in Taurus at 11:14 AM. Once that exact moment has passed, gather your sheets and place them in a folder until the next New Moon.

On Monday 11/16

take out your Full Moon charged papers and write one intention per sheet, making sure it is positive and concise. Place your papers out to be activated by the New Moon in Scorpio at exactly 11:14 AM. Once that exact moment has passed, staple your sheets together, write the date and put them away, expecting a miracle.

************************

Sunday 11/1: Mercury square Mars (4:51 PM)

A day when we should be careful not to be too impulsive in our speech. It is good to be direct but also thoughtful of the consequences of what we say. Conflicts could come into the open, giving us a chance to see things as they truly are. Anger could flare up quickly but also be as quickly forgotten and forgiven. Not the best day for signing important documents.

Monday 11/2: Venus Trine Neptune (3:22 PM)

A very magical day where we feel the oneness of all. Great for a romantic date. We would have a profound soul connection with someone met today. The bliss we experience imbues everything we see with a deep sensitivity to other realms of consciousness. An inspiring day for artists and healers.

Wednesday 11/3: Neptune turns direct (10:10 AM)

Kindly see the opening paragraph.

Thursday 11/5: Sun Conjunct Mercury (0:03 AM)

Excellent for clear communication. We express our ideas clearly and with integrity. Great for administrative work, furthering projects, catching up on e-mails and phone calls. Favorable for entering into partnerships and/or signing documents.

Saturday 11/7: Venus enters Scorpio (4:23 PM until December 25)

During the next few weeks passionate inner feelings could surface. We are more emotional yet more self-contained than usual. We don’t want grey zones in our relationships. We could insist on truth, loyalty and power with those we are intimate with. We may want a fusional and full body-mind-spirit connection with the person we are in a romantic relationship with. The karmic reason of our attachments becomes clearer.

Sunday 11/8: Mercury Square Jupiter (6:43 AM), Venus Sextile Pluto (9:33 PM)

Not the best day for traveling, moving nor anything related to the law or higher education. We could be scattered today and prone to extravagant ideas, disconnected from practical reality. Tonight is good for deepening an existing romantic link or for meeting a new person who proves to be a profound catalyst of transformation for us through the awakening of deep feelings.

Tuesday 11/10: Sun Square Jupiter (10:41 AM)

Laziness and exuberance mark our energy today. We should be careful of unwise speculations, self-indulgence and delusions of grandeur all fed by an inflated ego. Generosity could be stained by the wish to be recognized. If we are aware of those pitfalls, we can use this day to develop more faith in life and ourselves.

Wednesday 11/11: Mercury Trine Uranus (3:39 AM), Mercury Square Neptune (4:12 PM)

A phenomenal day for new, original ideas and inventions. Great also for channeling and healing, provided we are careful not to fall prey to spiritual illusions. In spiritual matters we need today to separate the wheat from the shaft. Using our dreams both literally and symbolically can prove most beneficial. Much can be accomplished while sleeping if we set the correct intention before going to bed.

Saturday 11/14: Sun Trine Uranus (5:41 PM)

An exciting day with much electricity in the air. We wish to move freely towards the future. Our social horizons widen. Unusual opportunities are presented to us. Our creativity takes an unexpected turn.

Sunday 11/15: Saturn Square Pluto (6:42 AM), Sun Square Neptune (6:42 AM), Mercury enters Sagittarius (4:28 PM until Dec 5)

During the next few weeks, we could be drawn to international traveling, expanding our mind, higher education, and a generally more positive outlook. Today, more particularly, our willpower is strong but we could come up against strange circumstances. Deceit, even corruption could stand in the way of what we are trying to create. Best to lay low and focus on our long-term goals in the meditative peace of our inner being.

Monday 11/16: Mercury Sextile Saturn (8:59 PM)

A great day for clearing any back-logged work. We are structured in our thoughts and our expression is concise. Great for entering into partnership. We are realistic in our goals and practical in the means to attain them.

Thursday 11/19: Venus Square Mars (0:23 AM)

Financial and relationship challenges could come to the forefront today. Extravagance in either area should be avoided. We could a be little insensitive to the moods of others today.

Saturday 11/21: the Sun enters Sagittarius (8:23 PM until Dec 21)

During the next few weeks, our faith and enthusiasm in life expand. We could become more interested in philosophy and other cultures. The wish to travel as well as adventure attract us. Great for higher education, lecturing, attending conferences or events which expand our horizons both intellectually and socially.

Monday 11/23: Venus Square Jupiter (2:02 PM)

Self-indulgence could create some unpleasantness today. We could be tempted to run away from responsibilities and engage in fantasies leading nowhere. Curbing today our tendency towards laziness or being center-stage, and focusing on feelings of gratitude and appreciation is a great use of this otherwise scattered transit.

Tuesday 11/24: Sun Sextile Saturn (7:35 AM)

Calm and concentration mark today’s energy. We have the discipline to complete difficult projects. We are structured in our endeavors and focused. An introspective and efficient day.

Wednesday 11/25: Venus Trine Uranus (7:01 PM)

Exciting social contacts. New partnerships are at hand. Friendships are fun and dynamic. A romantic interest could come about through an unusual intellectual exploration. Inspiration comes unexpectedly to those artistically inclined, using new mediums of expression.

Thursday 11/26: Mercury Trine Mars (6:54 AM), Venus Square Neptune (4:16 PM)

Sunday 11/29: Mercury Sextile Jupiter (3:54 AM)

Great for furthering our studies, expanding our horizons and traveling. Today we feel positive and full of faith. Our enthusiasm opens many new doors. A sense of adventurousness accompanies this fun transit. Great for gathering with friends from diverse cultures and social backgrounds.

Monday 11/30: Mercury Square Uranus (11:52 AM)

Unexpected communication difficulties could arise today. Not a good idea to seek support from people in authority. Situations we took for granted could be removed, without any advance notice. We need to examine the foundation of all our beliefs. Cherished ideas could be challenged forcing us to think out of the box.

Wishing you all the best.

In Loving Light.
