Astrology Calendars

Tuesday, NOVEMBER 1

Early today, the First Quarter Moon is exact with the Sun in Scorpio square to the Moon in Aquarius. There is a crisis theme surrounding any quarter Moon phase, as we feel compelled to take action. There can be some trial and error or tension to manage now, although it can also help motivate us to make a move! Recent new beginnings may face their first obstacles.

The Moon spends all day in Aquarius, encouraging us to seek intellectual stimulation and unusual or unconventional experiences. Friends, community, groups, causes, and happiness goals can be in stronger focus now. We can feel quite responsible for–or serious about–these matters with the Aquarius Moon conjunct Saturn and Mars trine Vesta in Aquarius.

Wednesday, NOVEMBER 2

With a quincunx between Venus and Chiron, insecurity might make it awkward for us to express our affections naturally or flowingly. There could be feelings of discontent temporarily. Venus also aligns with the South Node, and we might fall back on behaviors and indulgences that keep us distant from our true feelings and needs.

The day also features a Sun-Mars sesquiquadrate, pointing to the potential for too-quick judgments and actions. We might be anxious to put something behind us, rushing decisions in the process.

This transit adds instigating, tense, or impatient elements to the day. We might crave action but may not know where we want to direct this energy. Without a plan or direction, arguments or impatience can follow.

The Moon continues its transit of Aquarius to 2:47 PM EDT, when it moves into Pisces.

The void Moon occurs from 7:09 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Mars), until the Moon enters Pisces at 2:47 PM EDT.

Thursday, NOVEMBER 3

The Moon spends the day in Pisces, awakening our need for spiritual refreshment or escape. Ideally, this is a time for decompressing, winding down, and tapping into our intuition.

With a sesquiquadrate between Mercury and Neptune this morning, we tend to perceive situations in an impractical or overly optimistic way. This transit further diffuses our concentration or focus.

Adding a layer of restlessness to the day’s astrology is a Venus-Jupiter minor square. With this transit, we seek a little more from our pleasures, money, or relationships.

Channeled well, this transit can encourage us to improve our situation but otherwise might lead to over-indulgence, immoderation, or exaggeration. High expectations can leave us vulnerable to ups and downs. It can be tempting to overreach if we’re not in touch with our feelings or are discontented.

This influence can exaggerate our feelings, wants, and perceived needs. It’s best to manage impulsiveness and hastiness.

Friday, NOVEMBER 4

The Moon continues its transit of Pisces until 7:08 PM EDT, aligning with Jupiter shortly before it leaves the sign. Getting in touch with our imaginative, compassionate side can be pleasurable and rewarding today.

Nevertheless, the Moon’s square and Mercury’s sesquiquadrate to retrograde Mars can point to impulsive, tense, or even aggressive communications and hasty decision-making. We can accomplish more if we’re careful to pace ourselves. Buried anger can bubble up and emerge in our communications unexpectedly.

We should watch for rushing things, impatience in speech and movements, and abrupt or insensitive commentary. It’s best to put in the effort to respect and validate others when expressing what we need and want. Ideally, we can channel mental tension into something constructive. The Aries Moon from 7:08 PM EDT forward is direct and courageous.

The void Moon occurs from 6:06 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Jupiter), until the Moon enters Aries at 7:08 PM EDT.

Saturday, NOVEMBER 5

The Moon spends the day in the sign of straightforward, impulsive Aries.

With the Sun’s alignment to the true South Node of the Moon today, we should watch for holding onto something that no longer supports our growth only because it’s comfortable or familiar.

Unexpected events or feelings may take us off guard with Venus opposite Uranus today. Our feelings, attractions, or people in our lives can surprise us now. Some instability, restlessness, and rebelliousness are themes in our social interactions. Our needs for comfort and togetherness appear to clash with the desire to be free and independent. Indeed, we can experience sudden infatuations, whether with people or material items, that later prove less appealing.

As such, it’s not a good time to start a significant financial undertaking or relationship — not until rebellious feelings pass and we gain a better sense of how we honestly feel. Falling back on old patterns of relating won’t work now. Still, if we can separate rebellion from a sincere need for change, we might open ourselves to new ways of relating that accommodate our diverse needs.

Sunday, NOVEMBER 6

While today’s Aries Moon prefers a direct approach, transits today are more complex. Mercury’s quincunx to Chiron can introduce misunderstandings, doubts, and hypersensitivity to the day. We may feel stuck on a mental plane today with Mercury also aligning with the South Node of the Moon. The tendency is to overthink, overexplain, or overanalyze, which can be a form of procrastination or emotional avoidance.

As the day advances, Venus heads toward a square aspect with Saturn, and we might focus on the negative possibilities, which can be the first step before we get to a place of realism. We could feel unsatisfied, isolated, or unloved, which puts us on guard or defensive with our feelings and affections. Fears are most likely at the root of this. We may feel a little discouraged on a social level if we don’t receive the feedback we crave. Difficulties in socializing can occur if we are more sensitive to rejection than usual. There may be a lesson or reality check with matters of the heart, pleasure, or finances. Temporarily, we’re cautious and unlikely to be free or generous with money or our hearts.

The Moon is void today from 5:30 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Pluto), until the Moon enters Taurus the next day, Monday, November 7th, at 12:16 AM EST.

Monday, NOVEMBER 7

The Moon leaves Aries and enters Taurus at 12:16 AM EST, and the desire for more security motivates us.

Mercury’s sesquiquadrate to Jupiter this morning occurs not long after a Venus-Saturn square, and we can move from overly negative to unduly optimistic. We tend to make more of an issue than it deserves and should watch for exaggerated perceptions and communications or news.

A creative aspect between Venus and Mars is excellent for seeing relating patterns and using them positively to encourage creativity and excitement.

While the Taurus Moon is peaceful, a Lunar Eclipse will occur in the sign early tomorrow, and emotions heighten today.

The void Moon continues today until 12:16 AM EST, when the Moon enters Taurus.

Tuesday, NOVEMBER 8

This morning, at 6:03 AM EST, a total Lunar Eclipse occurs in the sign of Taurus. We take an urgent interest in the physical world and our own sensual needs and desires at this time. While we should watch for stubbornness, some self-interest is healthy and necessary now. This eclipse is the fifth in a set along the Taurus-Scorpio axis that will continue until October 2023. It’s another prompt, nudge, or push in the continuing story of improving Taurus- and Scorpio-ruled areas of life in our charts, and feelings of discontent can magnify. There can be inflated feelings, so it’s wise to sit with them for a bit before taking action.

Full Moons always pit opposite signs of the zodiac against each other and invite us to balance the opposing energies. The contrast between earthy, practical, peace-loving Taurus and emotional, transformative, crisis-oriented Scorpio comes full bloom now. It’s a passionate and creative Full Moon, ripe with possibilities and learning experiences. Intimate relationship matters, such as personal comfort levels, sexuality, and values, figure prominently now. Our feelings about a lingering problem or issue can become very clear now.

While there can be a tug-of-war between closeness and independence, we might discover ways to interact while honoring both needs. We may need to deal with distractions and feelings of discontent that can lead us along unexpected tangents. Disruptions now may lead to a desire to explore motivations and understand meanings.

Also occurring now–and gaining more power because they’re tied in with the eclipse–are the superior conjunction of the Sun and Mercury and these bodies’ oppositions to Uranus. Ideas and realizations now are pivotal. As we see our very different needs pitted against one another today, we can feel quite a bit of tension, but it can be instructive. We are likely to encounter resistance from others and from within ourselves. Unanticipated events may be part of the picture now, mainly through our relationships and the illumination of a different perspective. This energy is rebellious and touchy, especially if we feel constrained. We may need to deal with distractions and feelings of discontent, which could lead us along unexpected tangents. Disruptions now may lead to a desire to explore motivations and understand meanings.

Transits today pull up the need to review our desire for more freedom. We are reaching a point of total exposure, especially regarding autonomy, innovation, and independence issues. Sudden changes in plans are likely, and these could motivate us to try new approaches. The drive to do something new is with us, but we still need a direction or purpose, and it’s best to avoid making hasty decisions.

Today’s Full Moon is fertile and potent, awakening us to our feelings or a new approach to enjoying ourselves. With its ties to the Sun-Mercury-Uranus configuration, there can be surprise or abrupt elements to our epiphanies. There can be a strong urge (or need) to break free from old patterns in our relationships. Our feelings about a lingering problem or matter can become very clear now. The desire to experience something new, exciting, and bold can figure strongly, yet we can also experience some fear of breaking out of our comfort zones.

The Mercury-Sun alignment offers us a nice window of opportunity to clearly see our goals in our intimate worlds. There can be an epiphany, illumination of a matter, or a clearing of the air. We are sharp, communicative, and open at this time, and what we say or write now has a strong impact, for better or worse! An idea or plan can come to full bloom.

There can be new insights into our intimate relationships, personal psychology, or finances. This energy is very much a mental, light-bulb-over-the-head energy.

The Moon is Full in Taurus on November 8, 2022, at 6:02 AM EST. This is a Total Lunar Eclipse.

Total Lunar Eclipse in Taurus: November 8, 2022

A Full Moon occurs when the Sun in Scorpio forms an opposition to the Moon in Taurus. The Full Moon is a time of culmination and the promise of fulfillment of that which was started at the New Moon. It is an emotional time – a time of romance, fertilization, and relationships.

This phase of the Moon occurs at 16 degrees and 1 minute of Taurus, opposite the Sun at 16 degrees and 1 minute of Scorpio. It’s a busy eclipse with Mercury, Venus, Uranus, the Moon’s Nodes, and Saturn closely involved. There can be inflated feelings, and we can wrestle with strong urges and blocks, so it’s wise to sit with our revelations for a bit before taking action.

Note that this is one of several eclipses of a set occurring along the Taurus-Scorpio axis. There was a November 2021 Lunar Eclipse in Taurus, a Solar Eclipse in Taurus in April 2022, a Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio (Taurus’ opposite sign) in May 2022, a Solar Eclipse in Scorpio in October 2022, now a Lunar Eclipse in Taurus (November 2022). To come: a Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio in May 2023, and finally, a Lunar Eclipse in Taurus in October 2023.

This eclipse serves as another prompt, nudge, or push to make improvements in Taurus- and Scorpio-ruled areas of life in our charts, and feelings of discontent can magnify.

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Taurus: November 2022 (Additional Points)

This eclipse affects people with personal planets and points at 12 to 20 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) most significantly.

Wednesday, NOVEMBER 9

The Sun perfects its opposition to Uranus early today. This energy is rebellious and touchy, especially if we feel constrained. It’s a yearly influence that can pull up the need to review our appetite for more freedom. We should watch for hasty choices.

The Moon moves into communicative Gemini at 8:38 AM EST, and our curiosity about what’s happening around us increases.

A Uranus-Ceres trine this morning is excellent for innovation in our work, with health, and methods, in general. With this influence, we’re discovering new and possibly improved ways of relating, nurturing, and healing. Group settings might also encourage these things. Allowing our loved ones more freedom to be themselves can be in focus.

However, as the day advances, we’re heading toward a Mercury-Saturn square (the Sun will get to the same square a day later). We could feel blocked from expressing ourselves or preoccupied with serious or weighty issues. There can be difficulties getting our message across. Editing and improving make sense since we may encounter resistance if we push ahead.

We might deal with criticism or disapproval, and we should draw on patience and aim to build mental strength. Focusing on the negative possibilities could be the first step before we get to a place of realism.

The void Moon occurs from 7:01 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Jupiter), until the Moon enters Gemini at 8:38 AM EST.

Thursday, NOVEMBER 10

With the Mercury-Saturn square’s reticence early morning behind us, we open up to beauty and faith as Venus forms a trine to Neptune. We trust others first before judging, preferring to cooperate, not compete. Seeing the best in people takes the pressure off in personal relationships.

We’re also inclined to glamorize objects, situations, and pleasures. It’s easier to tap into our inner spiritual wisdom and draw on compassion. We prioritize spiritual and emotional concerns over material ones at this time and won’t step over others to achieve our goals.

The Sun, Mars, and Chiron connect creatively today, and we can benefit from strategy, focus, and willingness to grow and learn. We’re creative about going after what we want in life. Taking action to fix and heal can figure strongly. We’re absorbing and sharing what we’ve learned from past experiences and mistakes.

However, we approach a Sun-Saturn square, and we might face blocks or challenges. We can feel underestimated, unrecognized, unlucky, or unrewarded! We should watch for setting unattainable standards for ourselves, others, and situations. Our commitment to others can temporarily interfere with personal comfort levels.

We face obstacles, but this puts us in the position to recognize our ability to overcome them. It can be a time to face reality or the practical side of a situation and assume more responsibility.

Friday, NOVEMBER 11

Early today, the Sun-Saturn square perfects, and we can be cautious or experience lowered vitality. Sacrifices may be necessary. It’s best to conserve energy.

This afternoon, a Venus-Mars quincunx occurs, and our timing may be slightly off. There can be a dilemma or difficulty in feeling entirely at ease with others and making satisfying choices for entertainment or pleasure. Our romantic sensibilities and desires may be at odds, and problems (especially misunderstandings) in romantic and sexual relationships may result. Conflicts are likely between desires for independence and the need for nurturing or to nurture.

The Moon is in observant Gemini until 7:24 PM EST, when it moves into protective Cancer.

The void Moon occurs from 5:30 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Jupiter), until the Moon enters Cancer at 7:24 PM EST.

Saturday, NOVEMBER 12

Mercury forms a trine to Neptune and a parallel with Venus today, and we’re willing to accommodate others and share our ideas and feelings.

Transits encourage us to tap into our imagination. We more readily tune into and respond to our hunches. We may easily sense others’ thoughts and feelings, and our words, musings, and ideas can be more imaginative, colorful, subtle, or creative. We experience a sense of knowing and understanding with minimal explanation or instruction. While we may not be direct or definite, we see the way around obstacles. Favored now are photography, the arts, poetry, fiction, spirituality, advertising, and promotion.

The Moon spends the day in the sign of Cancer, and we seek familiar faces and spaces. Safety, comfort, and warmth are the most appealing now. We crave a stronger sense of belonging.

The Cancer Moon is protective, insular, emotional, and devoted.

Sunday, NOVEMBER 13

Today’s Cancer Moon is accommodating, attached, and protective. A sextile between Venus and Pluto this morning gently breaks down barriers, helping us with new insight into our needs for love, comfort, or pleasure and our money situation. We might take a comfortably strategic approach to these affairs. Our feelings are more focused and intensified in a generally pleasant and positive way. In fact, we seek depth of emotion and authenticity in our dealings.

Mercury and Mars form a quincunx late morning, however, and we can experience aggravation if we’re not understood or if we can’t seem to get where we want to go fast enough. What we do and what we think or communicate can be at odds. Instead of listening to what others have to say, we may interrupt them and make assumptions. It’s not ideal conditions for making important decisions, and we should watch for impatience.

Monday, NOVEMBER 14

Lovely aspects for gaining a new perspective occur today. For one, Mercury forms a sextile to Pluto, improving our ability to see more layers of a situation. We might discover further information that gives us an edge or finally “see” the truth of a matter we’ve avoided. It’s a powerful time to look more deeply into a topic. We benefit from being patient and strategic in our decision-making and are willing to look beyond the surface of things. Conversations are probing, investigative, and meaningful, and we may come to an improved psychological understanding of our lives. It’s a good time to let go of something that has kept us bound or stuck in a difficult position.

For another, the Sun forms a trine with Neptune, encouraging a different perspective, although in a different way–instead of probing, we might take a step back from a situation to see it differently. This transit brings a fluid, graceful theme to the day. We readily access our intuition and can be moved to help, support, or give of ourselves. We see beauty in differences. We seek and find inspiration. We would do well to de-emphasize some of our material concerns or interests, at least temporarily. We’re also approaching a Venus-Jupiter transit that’s forgiving and generous.

The Moon is void from 5:42 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Jupiter), until the Moon enters Leo at 7:49 AM EST.

Tuesday, NOVEMBER 15

This morning, the Benefics Venus and Jupiter form a trine, generating friendly energy, encouraging our desire for the ideal, and lifting our spirits. This transit helps to both soften and strengthen us. We are big-hearted, and our feelings are big, begging expression. Gestures tend to be thoughtful, and we’re particularly hopeful, cheerful, and cooperative. It can be a somewhat lazy or self-indulgent time. Our tolerance for rudeness or crassness decreases. We are especially open and trusting of others, expecting the best, and both integrity and loyalty are favored.

However, later today, the Sun is quincunx retrograde Mars, presenting some mild challenges and disrupting the flow. There can be a dilemma between what we want and what we think we should do. Tension is possible due to divergent needs or desires. Desires can be compelling, but we may be on the fence about how–or whether–to fulfill them. We may feel a little out of sorts, which can ultimately prompt us to make some valuable edits.

Today’s Leo Moon encourages our theatrical, playful, and competitive sides, although Leo’s ruler, the Sun, in an awkward aspect to Mars can point to troubles channeling these drives.

Wednesday, NOVEMBER 16

Venus enters Sagittarius early today, and Mercury will do the same tomorrow. With Venus in Sagittarius for a stay until December 9th, romantic adventures and a straightforward and even blunt approach to love are on the agenda. We leave behind complexities and embrace directness and clarity. We take pleasure in seeking truth and higher meaning, and we’re open, sincere, and optimistic with others. While it’s not the best time for care with money, it’s strong for enthusiasm and spirit.

The Moon continues its transit of Leo until 8:05 PM EST, when it moves into Virgo. This morning, the Third Quarter Moon occurs with the Leo Moon’s square to the Sun, signaling a time to review and sort rather than push something new. Until after the New Moon on the 23rd, it’s a better time to tie up loose ends, take inventory, and let go if necessary. We might consider our recent revelations, what they mean to us, and what we might do next.

Also this morning, Mercury forms a trine to Jupiter, and we might gain a positive outlook through conversations and a sense of hope or trust in the future. Big-picture thinking benefits us. We seek a little extra meaning to our projects and experiences. Our ideas are big, and our intentions noble. We might receive good news or offers, and curiosity stirs.

With the Virgo Moon from 8:05 PM EST forward, pouring some of our energy into detailed work may be appropriate.

The void Moon occurs from 6:57 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Mercury), until the Moon enters Virgo at 8:05 PM EST.

Venus enters Sagittarius

Venus is in Sagittarius from November 16 to December 9, 2022.

Moving from Scorpio to Sagittarius, romantic energy shifts from intense to buoyant. Sagittarius, of course, has its intense moments, considering it is a fire sign. However, its energy is considerably less focused; and, while Scorpio is most concerned with intimacy with a specific person, Sagittarius’ love is of a more universal kind.

Romantic adventures and a straightforward–even blunt–approach to love are on the agenda. Gone are the intricacy and complexity of Venus in Scorpio. Truth and higher meaning are the priorities with Venus in Sagittarius.

We’re idealistic in our relationships during this cycle. It’s more critical than usual that our partners and companions support our dreams, goals, freedom needs, beliefs, and vision. We value intellectual rapport more than usual during this period.

Openness with our feelings can sometimes backfire, but for the most part, it can be refreshing. We tend to more spontaneously enjoy ourselves or throw ourselves into pleasure, art, cultural interests, and special interest topics at this time. We can especially enjoy travel, learning, the outdoors, or animals.

With money, we can be a little reckless or careless, but also faithful and optimistic. Some element of luck or good karma can be involved with our finances. Benefits, whether material or spiritual, can come through publishing, foreign or religious connections, travel, education, or legal matters.

Thursday, NOVEMBER 17

Mercury moves into Sagittarius today, where it will stay until December 6th, inspiring an adventurous mindset. Mercury in Sagittarius is curious, questioning, and brave with thoughts and ideas. Our thinking is optimistic and idealistic, and our faith increases. However, we are not always very precise or detail-oriented during this cycle.

The Sun harmonizes with Pallas today, and we build faith or confidence in our skills and talents. We seek meaning, wisdom, and mental stimulation. This is a time for making plans, seeing important patterns, and the motivation to solve problems. The Moon spends the day in Virgo, and attending to our daily affairs is also in order.

Mercury enters Sagittarius

Mercury is in Sagittarius from November 17-December 6, 2022.

When Mercury is in Sagittarius, our thinking shifts from a need to plumb the depths of any given situation to the desire to learn about a wide range of topics. We seek ideals, our thinking is more optimistic, and our faith increases. We are more equipped to believe and to persuade. What is fair and unfair concerns us most now. However, we are not always very precise under this influence.

We’re more inclined to ask questions and seek answers during this forward-looking cycle. We might often wax philosophical, and we enjoy wrapping our minds around new concepts and ideas. Still, the details are not as interesting to us now, as we prefer to envision the big picture.

On the downside, we can be inconsistent and lack attention to details. While frank and open, we can also be tactless during this period. We’re generous with our communications and input, and we’re humorous and friendly at this time.

Friday, NOVEMBER 18

The Sun forms a sextile to Pluto today, putting us in a renovating spirit. We seek a little more depth from our activities and connections. This influence subtly increases our ambition, determination, and dedication. Making improvements or working toward a personal goal can be successful now. We tend to direct our energy constructively and seek new insight into our lives.

It’s a time to discover new ways of looking at problems or life. We feel more vital and enjoy the empowered feeling that results from making changes and improvements. Research might bring rewards. With this transit, we benefit from strategy and perhaps some discretion.

With a Virgo Moon all day, it can be satisfying to handle practical matters. We want to be useful and productive, and focusing on details seems the best route to making headway.

Saturday, NOVEMBER 19

This morning, Mars returns to a square with Neptune, and we may struggle to focus on our priorities. Energy is up and down, particularly if inspiration wavers. Motivation or energy levels may wane as we feel overwhelmed with possibilities and uncertain about our next step. Desires are hard to pin down. Instead, inspiration comes from unusual sources. There can be a change of course or a break from the action.

With this transit, we should watch for difficulties with boundaries and limits. Attempts to take the easy way out will probably backfire. From disappointment, we can find the motivation to make improvements, however.

Also today, the Sun forms a sesquiquadrate with Chiron, and we may doubt our inner guide and face situations that seem to test our vulnerabilities.

The void Moon occurs from 3:48 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (an opposition to Jupiter), until the Moon enters Libra at 5:59 AM EST.

Sunday, NOVEMBER 20

The Moon spends the day in Libra, and we seek harmony and balance. Its connection with Mars and Saturn suggests a moderate approach to our emotions and interactions can be beneficial and satisfying.

However, the Sun and Jupiter form a trine today, encouraging our desire to expand. We’re ready to give one another the benefit of the doubt. Enthusiasm runs high, and cooperation comes easily.

This transit stimulates hope, optimism, and a desire to improve and impress. We seek to grow a venture, a relationship, our knowledge, personal philosophy, or a self-improvement program. We might make grand gestures, and we more readily rise above petty problems and differences. Optimism and confidence are core elements in the energy of this transit.

Monday, NOVEMBER 21

Mercury aligns with Venus today, and we’re inclined to hash things out, compliment one another, see the positives, and enjoy our exchanges. We might intellectualize or analyze our feelings. It’s an excellent time to reach agreements or negotiate with others.

This transit is a cooperative influence that stimulates our desire for harmony and balance, which can mean we don’t dig too deeply.

Both planets form quintiles to Saturn later today, and we tend to maneuver and plan tastefully. We may be showcasing our reliability and loyalty. The Moon continues its transit of balanced, friendly, and gracious Libra until 12:17 PM EST, after which it moves through incisive, perceptive Scorpio.

The Moon is void from 6:15 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Pluto), until the Moon enters Scorpio at 12:17 PM EST.

Tuesday, NOVEMBER 22

The Moon’s transit of Scorpio today stirs our interest in discovering deeper truths and motives.

However, the Sun finishes up its transit of Scorpio, entering Sagittarius for a stay that lasts until December 21st. Our focus shifts from the need for an intimate connection with a person, project, or ourselves, to the desire to reach out to the world and connect with something larger than ourselves.

While the Sun moves through the fiery, mutable sign of Sagittarius in the weeks ahead, we might take steps to increase our understanding and awareness of the world around us. We muster up the courage to expand our horizons and branch out into new ways of thinking. We gain more confidence and optimism by focusing on the “big picture” as we move away from our focus on the details of mundane existence.

Although we may be prone to overdoing our expectations, we have the opportunity to nurture our faith, hope, and vision during this cycle.

Sun enters Sagittarius

Sun is in Sagittarius from November 22-December 21, 2022.

We are more able to muster up the courage to expand our horizons and branch out into new ways of thinking.

We can gain more confidence and optimism by focusing on the “big picture” as we move away from our focus on the details of mundane existence. Although we may be prone to overdoing our expectations, we have the opportunity to nurture our faith, hope, and vision under this influence.

Wednesday, NOVEMBER 23

Jupiter stations and turns direct today after retrograde motion since July 28th. We’re in a state of flux, but motivation blocks are now lifting, clearing the path ahead. Our confidence in ourselves and the universe builds.

Gradually over the next few weeks, matters ruled by Jupiter will move forward more straightforwardly. Our faith and perspective expand, although as this shift occurs now, problems with motivation and belief can seem larger than life. Nevertheless, this direct turn can feel refreshing.

The Moon continues its transit of Scorpio until 3:16 PM EST, after which the Moon transits Sagittarius.

The New Moon occurs in the sign of Jupiter-ruled sign of Sagittarius today at 5:57 PM, and we get a blast of optimistic, enthusiastic, adventurous, frank, and outspoken energy in our lives. In the weeks ahead, we might focus on goals that will increase our understanding and awareness and give us the courage to expand our horizons. It’s time to nurture our faith, hope, and vision.

With both the direct turn of Jupiter and the New Moon in Jupiter’s sign, Sagittarius, we are gaining confidence and optimism through a broader perspective.

The void Moon occurs from 1:17 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Jupiter), until the Moon enters Sagittarius at 3:16 PM EST.

The Moon is New in Sagittarius on November 23, 2022, at 5:57 PM EST.

New Moon in Sagittarius Chart: November 23, 2022

The New Moon in Sagittarius marks the beginning of a new cycle. Last year’s New Moon in Sagittarius was a Solar Eclipse, and this year’s more “standard,” but ideally, we’ve learned a lot about our needs with the recent eclipse set in the Sagittarius areas of our charts.

Representing new beginnings, the New Moon occurs with the Sun and Moon’s alignment in the mutable fire sign of Sagittarius. It’s a time when we can focus on some of the constructive traits of the sign of the Archer – optimistic, enthusiastic, adventurous, honest, outspoken, independent – and consider how to positively incorporate these qualities into our lives.

As we advance, we can focus on goals that will increase our understanding and awareness, give us the courage to expand our horizons, and gain confidence and optimism from a broader perspective. All too easily, we can get lost in the details of mundane existence. With this potent Sagittarius energy, however, we can find ways to transcend these details of day-to-day life and nurture our faith, hope, and vision.

Because Sagittarius thinks in big terms, we may have a tendency to overdo our expectations – something to watch for. We are setting the stage for reaping the rewards from our braveries, as little or big as they may be, in approximately two weeks’ time after the Full Moon occurs.

This phase of the Moon occurs at 1 degree and 38 minutes of Sagittarius, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 0 to 6 degrees of the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) and 28 to 30 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) most significantly.

The chart above is excellent for visualizing the major influences in the New Moon chart along with the chart patterns. Below, the chart wheel is of the same event but with a few more points, such as the major asteroids and Chiron.

Thursday, NOVEMBER 24

The Moon spends the day in Sagittarius, aligning with Mercury and Venus and harmonizing with Chiron this morning. We find meaning in our experiences and believe things will work out for the best. In the spotlight is our love of learning, debate, knowledge, sharing, and broadening our horizons. It’s a time of positive, philosophical thinking.

However, a Mercury-Pluto semi-square this afternoon can find us mildly skeptical. This influence can excite some tension or mental distress and worry. We tend to obsess over an issue that we can’t control. We’re somewhat mistrustful under this influence, although if we harness the energy and use it for good, we can develop strategies to get to the bottom of a matter.

As well, we’re heading toward a Mercury-Chiron trine, exact very early tomorrow, helping to reopen our minds to learning from one another. This influence aids with communicating our feelings constructively. We’re relaying our messages in relatable, accessible ways.

Good energy is with us for discussing or giving more thought to sensitive topics. We’re especially alert, observant, and willing to understand. It’s easier than usual to communicate our message now, although this is less about getting the exact wording right and more about conveying our intentions. We might discover new ways to approach problems.
