November 2024

November brings a complete change in perspective as a record of 5 planets change signs: Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and, of course, Pluto. There’s potential for major shifts.

As if that weren’t enough, 2 planets change direction: Saturn goes direct on November 16th, and Mercury turns retrograde on November 26th, asking us to reconsider our goals (Mercury in Sagittarius) and evaluating our long-term legacy (Saturn in Pisces).

One thing leads to another, and by the end of the month, we may find ourselves wondering – what just happened?

Let’s dive into the most important transits of the month:

November 1st, 2024 – New Moon In Scorpio

The New Moon encourages focused commitment and deep introspection, helping us align our goals with our highest ideals. With Saturn’s stabilizing influence, any seeds planted now have the potential to grow into a beautiful flower.

November 2nd, 2024 – Mercury Enters Sagittarius

We seek the “meaning of it all.” However, in the pursuit of big-picture truths, it can sometimes overlook important details.

When Mercury is in Sagittarius, our mind becomes more imaginative and explorative. Our communication, more colorful and engaging. Our perspective of the world broadens, and we start to see the world through the Sagittarian lens of possibilities and adventures.

November 3rd, 2024 – Mars Opposite Pluto

The intensity of this transit has been slowly building up and will reach a peak on this day.

This is an unusually long transit (because of Mars’ upcoming retrogradation) that starts in November and lasts until April 27th, 2025.

Mars and Pluto are essentially in opposition for a record-breaking 6 months! That’s quite something.

Expect powerful changes and keep an eye on major news developments during this time!

November 4th, 2024 – Mars Enters Leo

We’ll find it easier to connect to our hearts and take action from a place of truth and authenticity.

Pay attention to the day of the ingress – any themes that surface will likely continue to evolve and play out over the next several months.

November 11th, 2024 – Venus Enters Capricorn

Venus is what we like and what we value. Capricorn is ambitious and strategic. When Venus is in Capricorn, we become more intentional and calculated about what we truly want. Our standards naturally rise.

Capricorn likes clarity, so if you are a bit unsure about where you’re at, Venus in Capricorn will help you nail your priorities. Once you know what you want, there’s nothing that is going to stop you from attracting it into your life.

November 15th, 2024 – Full Moon In Taurus

We may be pushed outside our comfort zones, this aspect will also bring breakthroughs and sudden realizations that will invite new possibilities.

The Full Moon in Taurus invites us to embrace change, let go of limiting patterns, and tune into our intuition for greater clarity.

November 16th, 2024 – Saturn Turns Direct

This is a great time for moving stuck projects forward.

We are supported in confronting and resolving past issues or emotional blocks that may have surfaced during Saturn’s retrograde period.

One key theme is learning about emotional boundaries. Emotional boundaries can be subtle, ranging from ignoring one’s inner voice and giving in to others’ expectations, to oversharing in an unconscious attempt to gain attention.

Setting healthy emotional boundaries means (a) trusting and acting in alignment with our true feelings and (b) taking responsibility for our emotions, sharing them thoughtfully with the right people and in the appropriate context.

November 19th, 2024 – Pluto Enters Aquarius

This is the BIG day: Pluto officially crosses the threshold and begins its 2-decade journey through Aquarius.

Yes, you read that right – 20 years of Pluto in Aquarius! Some of us might even be thinking, “20 years? Will I even be alive in 2044?”.

When the farthest planet in our solar system changes signs, this is a big deal. We are talking about a shift that will impact the very fabric of our society – as well as every single one of us on both a collective and personal level.

This energy isn’t entirely new to us; we already got a taste of Pluto in Aquarius. Pluto dipped into the sign for 6 weeks (from March 23rd, 2023, until June 11th, 2023) and then again for 7 months (from January 21st, 2024, until September 1st, 2024).

Additionally, Saturn and Jupiter’s recent transit through Aquarius (2020-2023) gave us a preview of Aquarius themes and what they mean in today’s world.

But this time, it’s different. Pluto enters Aquarius for good. There’s no turning back. This transit has a solemn, almost fated quality, as if crossing a threshold.

Pluto will not be returning to Capricorn, and things will never be quite the same. As we conclude Pluto’s long journey through Capricorn, it’s time to set an intention for the next couple of decades.

November 21st, 2024 – Sun Enters Sagittarius

Happy birthday to all Sagittarians out there! With this shift, enthusiasm is restored as we get closer to Christmas and other December celebrations.

The Sagittarius season is one of optimism and expansion – it’s the time of year when we celebrate Thanksgiving, Saint Nicholas Day, and other spirited, Sagittarian festivities.  The Sagittarius season is a great time to broaden our horizons, enjoy life’s experiences, and prepare for what the end of the year will bring.

November 26th, 2024 – Mercury Goes Retrograde

Mercury will stay retrograde until December 16th.

If you have planets or angles between 6-22° Sagittarius (or in the other mutable signs: Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces), you’ll experience this Mercury retrograde more intensely.

During the next three weeks, we may be propmted to go thorough re-evaluation of our mindset.

We will be encouraged to explore big ideas and fresh possibilities, while the square to Saturn will keep us in check, “Is it realistic?”.

This is a great time to question assumptions, view situations from new perspectives, and arrive at better solutions.

This Mercury retrograde is the perfect time to review these goals and adjust them to better align with our 

true vision and values.
