This is the monthly newsletter from Astrodienst with a short overview of the current quality of time and news from our website www.astro.com.
November is a complex, charged month receptive to every intentional impulse. The constellations during the first days of the month could bring a lot of excitement. Those who act courageously and decisively can shape further events more strongly than usual. This month will set the course for society's transformation process.

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME

On November 1, there will be a New Moon in Scorpio. Mercury in Scorpio trines Neptune in Pisces. The longing for intensity and profound feelings is palpable. It is an excellent time to explore the hidden dimensions and honor the darkness. On this day, take a moment to pause and notice what sensations arise from within you.
During the time of the New Moon and the days that follow, complex aspect figures form in the zodiac. Mercury, Neptune, and Cancer-Mars form a grand trine on November 2. Two sextiles from Neptune and Mercury to Pluto complete a kite figure. Mercury enters Sagittarius on the same day.
Venus is also in Sagittarius, opposing Jupiter in Gemini and trining Chiron in Aries on the 3rd. Mars in Cancer and Pluto in Capricorn are in exact opposition. Both are in the last arc minutes of their respective zodiac sign. Mars enters Leo on November 4. Also, on the 4th, the Sun reaches the exact trine to Saturn in Pisces.

The tension between Mars and Pluto speaks of power-conscious and sometimes compulsive behavior. Some people may now lose their sense of proportion. Rushed decisions and those made in the heat of the moment could now cause much damage. Someone could also try to push through their interests by force.
However, in this charged time, strong positive forces are also available that make it possible to absorb destructive impulses and channel them constructively. Now is the time for active peacemaking, including in our personal lives. Success in steering the pronounced transformative impulses in constructive directions could cause jubilation.
But keep in mind that Mars will be retrograde in December. The opposition with Pluto will repeat itself twice until spring 2025; however, it will no longer be on the Cancer-Capricorn axis but between Leo and Aquarius. So, events will keep us on our toes for quite some time.

On November 9, Venus squares Neptune. We are dreaming big dreams right now. When Venus enters Capricorn two days later, we will look at everything more soberly. Mercury, squaring Saturn on the 12th, indicates a similar effect. After the great excitement of the last few days, we can now assess the situation more realistically and draw the correct conclusions.
On November 15, there is a Full Moon in Taurus conjunct Uranus. On the same day, Saturn ends its phase of retrograde. On the 17th, the Sun reaches the exact opposition to Uranus, Mercury opposes Jupiter on the 18th, and the Sun trines Neptune on the 19th. These days are like a starting signal for accelerated development. It is an excellent time to make a long overdue change of direction.

Don't hesitate any longer if you have been harboring a matter of the heart. Take action! The time quality calls for embracing the new because Pluto re-enters Aquarius on November 19, and this time for good. It will not leave the sign until 2043. Under its influence, we must redefine what it means to be human in the coming years and decades, both as individuals and as a collective. The events in the days around the Full Moon could give us a taste of what this is all about.
On November 21, the Sun enters Sagittarius. The Sagittarius energy will help to make sense of the events of the last few weeks and to keep the bigger picture in mind. Mercury turns retrograde on November 26 (until December 15). The opposition to Jupiter in Gemini will, therefore, build up again. It is a suitable time to talk about how to proceed. On November 27, the Sun reaches the trine to Mars. If your plans have progressed far enough, you could implement them now. However, you should review agreements and contracts again in mid-December.

Iris is an astrologer that i recently came accross, i like how she interprets the energy, looking more from the healing side and our personal Hero's journey here on the Earthly plane. https://youtu.be/wV9sOSsKNbA?si=lxjw69sIT8VzJgRu

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME
The quality of time in December speaks of positive feelings and a fundamental openness throughout the month. However, in the middle of the month, excessive expectations could lead to disappointments and require a reality check. Invigorating tension characterizes the last third of the month. It could make this year's Christmas a special occasion.

On December 1, there is a New Moon in Sagittarius. Shortly after that, the Moon reaches the opposition to Jupiter in Gemini. On December 2, Mercury in Sagittarius trines Chiron in Aries and Venus in Capricorn trines Uranus in Taurus. The time quality of these days speaks of positive feelings and a willingness to stand up for what is good without much fuss. You can now clarify relationships or establish new connections. The current openness to new ideas goes hand in hand with a realistic perception of the world and allows you to see the bigger picture.
On December 4, Mercury reaches the opposition to Jupiter. The Sun squares Saturn; two days later, it forms a conjunction with Mercury. Now is the time to take a concrete step forward and make dreams come true. These days, many conversations and discussions may also be necessary, although the respective points of view could be noticeably subjective.

In the following days, the quality of time will intensify significantly. On December 7, the opposition between the Sun and Jupiter will be exact. Mercury is in exact square with Saturn. Venus leaves the somewhat sober Capricorn, enters experimental Aquarius, and immediately meets Pluto. Mars in Leo stands still and begins its retrograde phase, which lasts until February 24. Neptune, on the other hand, ends its retrograde on December 8. It will continue to move through the last degrees of Pisces over the next few months and enter Aries for the first time in March 2025.
During these days, desires, longings, and demands could be pretty powerful. The desire for a new experience, a new kick, or a profound change could sometimes feel a bit compulsive. Excessive expectations can lead to disappointment. Do an honest reality check and adjust your plans to the possibilities.

Desires and cravings remain an issue in the coming days. On December 12, Venus, still intensely energized by Pluto, is opposite Mars. Some big wishes could come true now. You may even be lucky enough to fulfill someone's deepest wish.
On December 15, there is a Full Moon in Gemini. Mercury ends its retrograde phase on the same day. The Full Moon is in tension with Neptune, and the Sun reaches the exact square with Neptune on December 18. In the sometimes hectic pre-Christmas hustle and bustle, there could now be welcome moments that invite you to pause or bring a surprising silence. The question of meaning may also arise. Just carry this question in your heart for a while. During the Christmas days, it could receive an answer.

On December 20, Venus trines Jupiter. On the 21st, the Sun enters Capricorn - it is the solstice. At the same time, the Moon opposes Saturn and squares Jupiter. The square between Saturn and Jupiter becomes exact on December 24, and with Mercury opposite Jupiter on the 26th, a T-square is formed that remains active throughout the Christmas season.
This tension during the Christmas period will be hard to ignore, but it could have a revitalizing effect. Mercury and Jupiter indicate a fundamental openness and willingness to communicate. Share and listen before you judge. However, the focus of the T-square is Saturn in Pisces. It speaks of a lack of compassion, the soul's thirst for a spiritual home, and the fear of being forgotten. Take this voice seriously, too, for it can lead those willing to engage with their innermost selves deep into the mystery of Christmas – the birth of the new light in the darkness.
On December 27, Mercury squares Saturn, and Venus squares Uranus on the 28th. The Capricorn New Moon is on December 30.Retrograde Mars is about to reach the opposition to Pluto in Aquarius (which is exact on January 3, 2025).

The mood at the end of the month is relatively sober and increasingly charged. This is an excellent time to look back at the past year's events. The conclusions that arise from this could be more straightforward than expected and show you which path to take in the new year.
