The first half of the month will have a similar feel to October so could bring heated talks, unexpected shifts in rels, leading to anxiety or stress. But from mid-month onward, you will see a turning point for the better. The big news this month is the eclipse in Taurus and Jupiter’s return to Aquarius – both positive shifts.
Venus Transits Scorpio from Oct 30th till Dec 8th
This is a much better transit for Venus than what we experienced in Scorpio and will get better mid-month onward. Reason being is that In the beginning of the transit we have the dispositor Jupiter, toward the end degrees in Capricorn. Also, Venus is still making a connection to Ketu vis a vis nakshatra being in Mula.
Though there are no malefic aspects to Venus at this time, you still may be questioning your relationships at this time. This could result in separation, some distancing, and breaks in intimate relationships. The situation improves by the time Jupiter moves into Aquarius on Nov 20, and then this Venus transit will be more enjoyable. This is a good transit for all the dual signs, Gemini, Sag, Virgo and Pisces.
Mercury Transits Libra from November 2nd till Nov 21st
Normally this is a positive transit for Mercury but once again Mercury is approaching a heated conjunction with both Mars and Sun already present in Libra. To further complicate matters, Libra is getting the aspect of Saturn. This will add frustration and anger to the mix.
Because we are seeing this in Libra, you may not be getting along with people at this time. Plans for negotiating contracts, socialising, dating, connecting with others may also see some setbacks and frustration. Things may not go your way until mid-month.
On Nov 9th and 10th, there is a Sun, Mars, Mercury conjunction in Libra, similar to what we saw last month. This time however the Sun is sufficiently far away in Vishaka. There is a strong connection to Rahu the changemaker again here as both mercury and mars are in Swati connecting with Rahu – and Mars is also aspecting Rahu. The mutual aspect of Saturn and Mars adds to the frustration here.
At the same time, we also have a Moon /Saturn conjunction in Shravan, resulting in a feeling of helplessness and general discontent. These few days, from Nov 6th till 11th, can bring up some unexpected challenges. This can also be ongoing issues from last month too. Because it is Libra, it will be matters connected to relationships, or agreements, contracts, business deals. This is also not a good time for buying or selling anything, as coming to a favourable agreement is difficult. You could also see some setbacks to your plans and goals as far as connecting with other people.
New Moon on Nov 4th in Libra in the nakshatra of Swati
There is a new moon on Nov 4th in Libra at 18 degrees in the nakshatra of Swati at approx 9 pm UTC. This is a fiery new moon with Sun, Moon Mars, all in Rahu’s nakshatra Swati – and Rahu in Sun’s nakshatra Kritikka.
The dispositor of the moon is Venus, 3rd from the new moon, and Rahu is 8th from the new moon. It is also getting the exact opposition aspect of Uranus. There could be some shocks and surprises depending on where Taurus and Libra fall in your chart, as well as look at the lordship of Venus and Rahu for clues. Swati exemplifies changeable energy and Rahu’s strong association with the new moon from the 6/8 angle means unexpected and unwanted change.
Mars continues its transit in Libra till December 5
With a combust Mars, you can feel overly competitive and irritated at the possibility of things not going your way. It can also bring low self-confidence at this time. Mars has been traveling very close to the Sun, and will continue to do so till the end of November. When there is excessive fire energy it is best to release it through physical activity – any sort of rigorous exercise. For Libra, Scorpio, and Aries, this is a challenging time as well as for Pisces and Virgo.
Everyone will be impacted to some extent though. But there will be a complete turn-around mid-month. Matters will come to some resolution or culmination. The first sign of uplifting energy comes when the Sun moves into Scorpio away from its debilitation and away from the gaze of Saturn.
Sun Transits Scorpio from Nov 16 till December 15
Here, the Sun is caught in the nodal cycle pointing to some unfinished business re-surfacing pertaining to where Scorpio falls in your chart. On 23rd Nov, we have a Sun/Ketu conjunction in Scorpio and on the 25th, a Mercury/Ketu conjunction occurs. So, this can leave some people feeling out of sorts – it may be a good time for rest and relaxation activities. This is especially the case for Leos, Gemini and Virgo.
Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Taurus in the nakshatra of Krittika on November 19
We have a lunar eclipse taking place on November 19 at the exact exaltation of the moon in 3 degrees of Taurus, at approx. See video below for more details.
Jupiter returns to Aquarius on November 20
Jupiter leaves its debility sign and association with Saturn in Capricorn and is also free from Rahu’s aspect now. This is an especially good transit for all the air signs, including Gemini, Aquarius, and Libra, as well as the fire signs, including Aries, Leo, and Sag. If you are going through the dasha of Jupiter or even Mars, this transition is good news for you.
So, all matters that came up during the confrontational period – perhaps the first or second week of Nov, or even last month, will now be resolved with an amicable outcome. Again, this is especially the case if you are air or fire signs or if you have lots of planets there. This represents a turning point, and can lead to forward momentum with compromises in contentious matters that were impacted by Libra, as now Libra is getting the gaze of a strong Jupiter rather than only Saturn.
So, the first half of the month can be difficult for many people. But, we will experience a positive shift mid-Nov onward. Even if you had challenges come up you will find the solution and take progressive steps to resolve them.
