Week Ahead Transits 3 - 9 November

When we enter into any relationship with another, we inevitably share, blend, or merge our emotional and psychological states with the other person and vice versa. Sharing of resources and the process of give and take is a natural part of relational expression. At times this process, in and of itself, deters people from entering into partnership, fearing one might not have enough of themselves, resources, time, money, emotional space to give. The Full Moon connects with the nodes of the Moon, which are situated at the second decans of Virgo/Pisces (9 of Pentacles/9 of Cups), suggesting this Full Moon is an opportunity to overcome the fear of reciprocity. The Full Moon sheds light on insecurities we may have in regards to how much we have to give. Situations may arise that help to temper these fears by challenging limiting beliefs through expanding out of one’s comfort zone.

 

Ready set go! Mars ingresses into Sagittarius, lighting the flame of restlessness. Getting the travel bug? You’re not alone. From now until mid-December visions of distant lands call us forth, cravings for adventure are hard to ignore. Mars meets with Uranus in an opposition immediately upon entering Sagittarius, offering spontaneous opportunities for new experiences that take us out of the normal hum drum aspects of life. The Mars/Uranus opposition can also inflame tempers, and sudden outbursts erupt with indignation. Be wary of making rash decisions out of anger, if you feel emboldened to take action in a certain direction, give yourself until next week just to be absolutely sure that whatever you do is in alignment. Uranus retrogrades back into Taurus a couple of days later, helping to settle any heightened nerves.

 

Venus > Scorpio on 6th/7th, and at the anaretic degree activates a YOD with Uranus and Neptune, generating a fleeting moment that feels fated and synchronistically aligned. Sudden awarenesses are revealed regarding relational matters that touch on a deep soul and spiritual level. Venus squares up with Pluto the same day, creating tension around economic and financial matters, forcing a shedding in behaviors in spending. Venus square Pluto also creates tensions in our relationships, reflecting the Full Moon themes around giving and receiving. We may be left feeling raw, however, this time allows us to be excruciatingly honest with our deeper vulnerabilities in love, exposing what we fear losing the most.

 

Mercury stations retrograde in Sagittarius on the 9th/10th and we all know what that means by now, a change in plans and direction. It also imparts a three week period of introspection and mental curiosity into personal stories and beliefs. The stories we tell ourselves are upended and challenged by external influences i.e. media, politics, academia, for the duration of Mercury retrograde. Questioning one’s previous ideals and notions of the world is necessary in the pursuit of truth. Being proven wrong and then integrating the newfound wisdom is a form of intelligence that can’t necessarily be taught, but experienced. The collective mental frame work benefits from these moments of insecurity, taking back what was said, changing one’s mind, and integrating new information is the promethean ethos.
