November 2019 Horoscopes

Horoscopes 

November 2019 

• Aries- You're more brooding and quiet this month. Something is nagging at you and you are determined to solve the mystery. You'll have to dig deep and draw on all your resources to gather the clues and bring all to bare. Until then, you'll keep your thoughts to yourself. People may find your curiosity annoying and invasive, so this is a good time to turn that intense insight inward and reflect on the mystery that is you. 
• Taurus- You're feeling more charming and attractive this month and you want to be appreciated and valued for the special person that you are. If you don't get the attention you want at home, you'll look for it elsewhere. If partnered, this is a good time to get away with your significant other to pamper and pleasure each other. If single, this is a good time to seek out a lover, or start a new relationship. 
• Gemini-   You're used to multi-tasking and taking on several projects and responsibilities at once. However, while you start things you usually fail to finish them because you move on to something else or add another task to your list that distracts you. This month is a good time to get organized, prioritize your to-do list, and purge those tasks that no longer seem important. Rather than start new tasks, finish old ones. 
• Cancer-You're tired of taking care of and nurturing everyone else's needs and now you're feeling like it's time for someone to take care of you. If no one will step forward and give you the tender, loving care that you need than you'll give it to yourself. This is a good time to exercise self-care, take time to get in touch with your inner child, express your creativity, and get back to doing those things that you find fun. 
• Leo- Your pride turns towards your home and you want to make it a place that others will be jealous and envious of. For this reason you may re-arrange furniture, remodel, refurbish, or otherwise re-fresh your home to make it more appealing and inviting. Perhaps even gather your loved ones together and make this a family project so you can work on improving your familial relationships as well. 
• Virgo- You're such a detail-oriented perfectionist that you can't help but correct others when you see their mistakes, but people don't always like to be corrected. This is a good month to work on your communication skills because sometimes what you don't say is more important than what you do say; try to listen more than you speak, and allow others to make their own mistakes and learn from them. 
• Libra- Money is a concern for you this month. You might not necessarily need more money, but you feel like you need more money to feel more secure. The problem is that they more money you have right now, the more you spend. You like to pamper and please yourself by buying things that bring you a certain level of comfort and luxury. This is a good time to strike a balance between spending and saving. 
• Scorpio- Normally quiet and brooding you're more comfortable in your own skin this month. You feel good about yourself and have more confidence and self-esteem.  You may experiment with changing someone outward part of yourself such as dressing differently or trying a new hairstyle.  This is a good time of freshness and renewal in which you can start or restart new projects. 
• Sagittarius-  You like your independence and freedom as well as learning about new places, people, and cultures but this month you're feeling more introverted. You keep to yourself more and spend more time in quiet reflection of yourself, your life, and your life direction. This is a good time to release any psychic or emotional baggage that you're holding on to so that you don't have anything weighing you down as you move forward with your life. 
• Capricorn- You feel like you want to be a part of, and not apart from, something bigger than yourself. You may join a group that shares the same ideal and goals that you have or you may lend your time an energy to a cause that is important to you.  While you want to be a part of the solution also realize you don't need a group to make a positive impact on the world. 
• Aquarius- You career becomes important to you and while you normally perform your duties in a detached and impersonal sort of way you now feel that all eyes are on you. You're more invested in your career, you want to do a good job, you want recognition, you want your bosses or mentors to feel that they made the right decision aligning themselves with you... but you also want more responsibility. 
• Pisces- You're feeling more independent this month and crave more adventure. You want more freedom to explore new and different people, things, and cultures. If you can't physically travel for whatever reason, you will spend a great deal of time dreaming of travel and adventure as a sort of escape from the mundane work-a-day world you live in.

New Moon in Scorpio 2019

New Moon in Scorpio 

10/27/19  8:38 PM (pacific) 

Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

A New Moon occurs when the Sun and Moon both occupy the same degree of the same Sign at the same time. As we can see from the chart above, the Sun and Moon both occupy 4° Scorpio on 10/27/19 making this a New Moon. 

Planet: What is Happening 

Occurring approximately once every 28 1/2 days, new moons denote the end of one cycle and the beginning of a new cycle. New Moons are a great time to initiate any kind of change or to begin attracting anything that is needed or wanted.   Due to the fact that the moon is associated with our emotions, this is often seen as a new emotional cycle.

Some keywords associated with the moon include, but are not limited to, the following: emotions, feelings, family, change, instincts, reflection, imagination, subconscious, or nurturing.

Sign: How is it Happening 

The Astrological Sign in which the New Moon occurs can indicate how this emotional renewal may express itself. Some keywords associated with Scorpio include: Passionate, Intense, Attractive, Researcher, Seeker, Mysterious, Suspicious, Skeptical, Judgmental, All-or-Nothing, Sexual. However, the Moon is said to be in Fall in Scorpio; that is, it is in the sign opposite of it's exhaltation (Taurus).  When a planet is in Fall, it is cut off from it's resources and so it must work harder in order to reach it's highest potential.  

New Moon in Scorpio (General) 

When the New Moon is in Scorpio, people are generally more sexual and need more intimacy. They may seek out some kind of deep connection with another person that is intense and powerful.  However, they can be more skeptical and judgemental which can add to the difficulty of findind the intimacy that is needed.   

The House: Where is it Happening 

The Astrological House in which the New Moon occurs in your Natal Chart gives an indication of the area of life activated by the New Moon and where you can expect to see the energy of the New Moon in Virgo to play out. Since the September New Moon occurs in 4° Scorpio, you would look at your Natal, or Birth Chart to ascertain in what House 4° Scorpio occurs.  

The Twelve Houses of Life 

1. The self, ego, appearance, initiative, leadership, fresh starts and new beginnings. 
2. Money and material matters.  Your physical environment, income, money, and your sense of self-esteem. 
3. Communication in all its forms (thinking, writing, speaking, etc... ) as well as siblings, local travel, teachers and community events. 
4. Home, privacy, your basic sense of security, your mother, children, and your own ability to nurture others.
5. Creative expression, drama, attention, love, and romance. 
6. Health and service to others. Your routine, diet, exercise and helpfulness to others. 
7. Marriage, partnerships, and relationships of all kinds.  Contracts, business deals, etc... 
8. Birth, death, sex, other people's money and property. 
9. Expansion, the higher mind, foreign matters (languages, cultures, travel) luck, adventure, risk, philosophy, ethics and morals. 
10. The public, fame, honors, reputation, awards, boundaries, rules, discipline, authority, the father. 
11. Groups of people such as friends and associations, networking, social justice.  Originality, sudden unexpected events, invention, surprises, and all things futuristic.
12. Endings. Completion, tying up loose ends, old age, karma, making amends, and the afterlife. Imagination, creativity, poetry, and the subconscious mind. 

Example

New Moon in Scorpio and the 1st House 

Using our keyword system, the New Moon (I feel) in Scorpio (I want) and the first house (me, myself and I) can translate to I feel refreshed and renewed when I form an intense connection to myself. Scorpio represents the archetype of the researcher, the moon is all about our feelings and emotions and the first house represents yourself. With the New Moon in Scorpio and the First House this is a good time to get to know yourself all over again. 

The Aspects: Relationships Between the Planets 

Finally, you would look at the relationship between the New Moon in 4° Scorpio to other planets in your Natal Chart. When I look at my own chart, for example, the New Moon in 4° Scorpio is making an opposition to my Natal Uranus in 4° Taurus which can indicate an almost irrational desire for change and an inability to control the emotions. 

Where does the New Moon in 4° Scorpio fall in your chart by house and aspect and how will it manifest for you?

Hoodoo & Your Venus Return

The Venus Return: A Review 

The Venus Return is similar to the Lunar Return and the Solar Return charts. It is calculated for the precise moment that Venus will return to it's exact Natal Position and for your location at the time of the Venus return. Venus will return to its natal position about once a year, however, since Venus occasionally goes retrograde you can have up to three. A Venus return chart is good for the time between the current Venus return and the next one.  Among other things, Venus rules over money and love and so a Venus Return is a tool used to forecast your upcoming social and romantic life and to a lesser extent financial matters. 

Hoodoo & Your Venus Return 

Your Venus Return (VR) is a good time to review the state of your love life and financial status and to take steps to nurture and or improve them.  To give you an idea how to do this, I am going to share with you how I view and observe my VR. I often print my VR Chart well beforehand and write my notes based on my interpretation of the chart on the chart itself. On the reverse side of the page, I take out my ephemeris and write down all the dates that Venus enters a new sign (and therefore a new natal house) between the VR being interpreted and the next one. When a planet changes signs, it is felt in the world and therefore in our lives. Knowing when Venus enters a new sign and natal house can give me an idea of how I can expect Venus in each house to manifest for me. 

Your VR occurs when transit Venus makes an exact conjunction to your natal Venus. I use an orb of two degrees when considering applying and separating aspects.  At the time of my birth, Venus was at 2° Scorpio. So I start feeling the effects of my VR as soon as Venus enters Scorpio.  When this occurs, I take out my VR Chart Interpretation and carry it with me the entire time that Venus transits from 0° Scorpio to 4° Scorpio.  I make notes on the back of the chart about any significant events that occur in the realm of love and money. The reason for this is because events that occur during this time often reflect what you can expect to occur. For example, on the day of my VR in 2018, I had want to the grocery store to pick up some things and while leaving the store I passed an attractive young man who looked me in the eye and said "you have a beautiful smile". That same year I garnered a lot of attention and interest from several young men. 

A Three Point Plan 

My approach to the VR can be divided into three steps associated with the aspects of Transit Venus to Natal Venus. Again, they are applying (approaching exact), exact, and separating (leaving exact). 

Applying  

The applying conjunction begins when Venus is within two degrees of your natal position. Since my Venus is at 2° Scorpio, the applying conjunction for me begins when Venus enters 0° Scorpio. Venus is all about love, comfort, security, and luxury. As soon as the applying conjunction activates, I start treating myself. When you look good, you feel good (and vice versa) so I usually get a haircut and buy myself at least one new outfit. I may also treat myself to a few special meals. It is important to remember that it is okay to spoil yourself as long as in so doing you do not create a financial hardship for yourself or overindulge in food or drink in an unhealthy manner.

The applying conjunction phase of your VR is a time of planning and preparation. Use this time to study your chart, review the state of your love life, decide what you want and how you will go about obtaining your goals in terms of money and love. One way I do this is to use the keywords for points and positions in my VR chart to write an affirmation or affirmative prayer. For example. 

• The planet describes what is happening. 
• The sign describes how it is happening 
• The natal house describes where it is happening. 
• The Ascendant in the VR chart describes the outward face you project on the world. 
• The Descendent in the VR chart describes what you are attracting. 

Using my own chart as an example. I have Venus in Scorpio and the 1st House in my Natal Chart. I have Aquarius as the ascendant in my VR Chart which makes Leo the descendent. 

Using our keyword system, we can string together the following statement:

I love (Venus) passionately and intensely (in Scorpio) myself (1st house). Other people see me as unique, loyal, loving, and imaginative (Aquarius qualities) I am attracting someone who is loving, faithful, confident, affectionate, and generous (Leo qualities). 

And this statement can be translated to an affirmation such as:

I love myself with a passion and this love is reflected in the world in the form of those around me who can sense and appreciate my magnetism and desirability. Men are drawn to all those qualities which make me the unique and special person that I am.  I now attract to myself a man who is confident, affectionate, faithful, and generous who will love me and desire me as I love and desire myself. And so it is. 

Conjunction 

When Transit-Venus is making an exact conjunction to Natal-Venus, this is the time to do your actual work. This is when you will fix a mojo bag, work a doll baby, burn a candle, etc... For example. you may write your affirmation on a piece of paper and place this under a red candle dressed with Venus Planetary Oil. The candle would then be burned as you make your prayer or petition to attract a lover. When the candle burns out you can take your prayer and press it in your Bible anywhere it says "and this shall come to pass." 

This would also be the day that you would do whatever you can to make yourself appear as attractive as possible. Wear a new flattering outfit. Spritz yourself with cologne or perfume ( I prefer Cool Water), place a violet leaf in your shoe and dress yourself with any type of love-drawing condition oil. 

Separating 

In step one (applying) you devised a plan. In step two (exact) you enacted your plan. Now in step three you simply let go. Set it and forget it. Go about your life and trust that the work that you have done will manifest.

The Sun in Scorpio 2019

Sun in Scorpio 

10/23/19  10:19 am (Pacific) 

Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

When the Sun (I am) is in Scorpio (I want) people can be more thoughtful and brooding.  As the days grow shorter and the nights longer, they can be more intense and passionate. The need for sex and intimacy may also be stronger. They may also be somewhat more secretive but demand more transparency from those around them. Their focus may turn to transforming their lives in some way that they consider profound and meaningful.   

Where Scorpio falls in your natal chart is the area of life where The Sun in Scorpio will be felt most. 

* If Aries is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 8th House

* If Taurus is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 7th House

* If Gemini is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 6th House

* If Cancer is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 5th House

* If Leo is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 4th House

* If Virgo is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 3rd House

* If Libra is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 2nd House

* If Scorpio is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 1st House

* If Sagittarius is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 12th House

* If Capricorn is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 11th House

* If Aquarius is your rising sign, the Scorpio is your 10th House

* If Pisces is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 9th House 

Example 

The Sun in Scorpio and the 1st House 

With the Sun in Scorpio and the 1st house, you focus on yourself. You have more self-esteem and self-confidence and you want more attention and interest from others.  You have an outlook on life that can be described as more bold and you're more willing to take risks.  This is a good time to experiment with your look or style by changing your hairstyle or your manner of dress.  This is also a good time for you to try new things in general. 

The Aspects 

Another thing to look at would be the aspects that the Sun in 0° Scorpio makes to other planet and points in your chart. For example, in my chart the Sun in 0° Scorpio is making an applying conjunction to my Ascendant at 5° Scorpio.  If the Sun is conjunct the Ascendant (myself) it is also opposite the Descendent (others), you put more focus on yourself and your own needs, wants, and desires and this can sometimes be at the expense of others. This aspect also accentuates the theme of beginnings so there is a strong likelihood that a new beginning of some kind will be initiated when the transit Sun is conjunct the natal Ascendant. 

Where does Scorpio fall in your chart and how will it manifest for you?

The Venus Return

The Venus Return is similiar to the Lunar Return and the Solar Return charts. It is calculated for the precise moment that Venus will return to it's exact Natal Position and for your location at the time of the Venus return. Venus will return to its natal position about once a year, however, since Venus occasionally goes retrograde you can have up to three. A Venus return chart is good for the time between the current Venus return and the next one. 

Among other things, Venus rules over money and love and so a Venus Return is a tool used to forecast your upcoming social and romantic life and to a lesser extent financial matters. 

Interpreting the Venus Return 

1. What is the Ascendant in the Transit Chart?  What House does the Transit Ascendant fall in your Natal Chart? This will give you an idea of how you approach matters of love and money in the coming year and the area of life that will be of more importance or more affected by the Venus Return. 
2. What is the Chart Ruler and what house does it occupy in the Transit Chart? 
3. What sign is on the descendent? How does the Natal Ascendant aspect the Transit Ascendant? If they connect in a friendly way, i.e. by trine or sextile, a relationship can form. However, if they connect by square or opposition forming a relationship will be more difficult. 
4. What house does Transit Venus occupy in the transit chart? 
5. What aspects are made between Transit Venus and the Natal Chart (since Venus occupies the same place in both charts, the aspects made between Natal Venus and planets in the Transit Chart will be the same). 
6.  Are there any planets on the four angles?
7. Do any natal planets occupy the angles in the return chart? 
8. Are any planets in the return chart  at the critical degrees of either 0° or 29°? 

Interpreting the Venus Return, An Example

In this example, we will be looking at the Venus Return chart of actor Joaquin Phoenix (Libra Sun, Aries Moon, Virgo Rising) who is gaining a lot of notoriety right now for his portrayal of the Joker in the 2019 film of the same name. As near as I can tell, Joaquin was in Hollywood California on the day of his Venus Return and that is the location for which I generated his Venus Return chart. 

The first thing I notice here is that the Ascendant for both his Natal Chart and his Venus Return Chart are the same, which is Virgo.  He can come across as methodical, refined, and intellectual.  He has an analytical mind and a discriminating nature. He can be nervous and restless at times and she and undemonstrative at other. Virgo is ruled by Mercury which occupies the second house.  This tells me that in matters of love, and to a lesser degree money, it is important that he remain humble and not allow his success go to this head. He may strive for perfection in his relationships and in his work and will most likely be his own worst critic.  The chart ruler, Mercury, in the second house indicates that he will need to exercise patience in his relationships and in his interactions with others (especially interviews!)  He may also be motivated to have more security and comfort and may not be inclined this year to do anything too out-of-the-ordinary in order to have it.  

With a Virgo / Pisces axis (Ascendant / Descendant) he comes across as organized, reserved and methodical. However, in terms of romance he can be a shy and quiet dreamer. He is attracted to someone who has the qualities of sensitivity, artistic, creative, and compassionate. With the Natal Ascendant opposite the Transit Descendent he and his partner can find one another physically attractive but he may tend to see his partner as needing to be corrected, improved, or refined and she may feel that he needs to be less critical and more open to the invisible. 

With Venus in the 3rd house (transit and natal) he may be looking for more mental stimulation in his relationships this year. The third house rules Gemini (the twins) and so it is possible that he may find himself attracted to two people at the same time. He could meet this person while traveling, online, or through a sibling or even a neighbor. 

Transit Venus makes no major aspects (Ptolemaic) to natal planets. However, transit Venus does make a quincunx to the natal Moon can bring a increased need for love and affection. Nonetheless it also creates friction between the subject and his loved one. This cause for this can be a lack of reciprocation between partnesr ---- the amount of love received does not equal the amount given. This could be the impetus for seeking love outside his current relationship as indicated by Venus transiting the 3rd house. 

The subject has Jupiter in the angular fourth house and both Neptune and the Moon in the angular 7th house. Jupiter in the fourth house can indicate a need for more harmony and stability. This desire can lead to attempts to improve familiar relationships. 

The Moon and Neptune in the 7th house can be an indication that indicate an emotional desire to work on relationships, however, the subject may need more love and his attention that his partner can give.  He may attract people who end up hurting him or taking advantage of him in some way.  

Putting it All Together

This chart paints a picture of someone who is a diplomatic, people pleaser who can be aggressive and quick to anger. He is often perceived as organized, methodical, and critical --- of himself and others. He demands perfection out of himself and others. In love he can be dreamy and romantic but tends to be critical and demanding of his partner.  He and his partner may find themselves physically attracted to one another but lack compatibility in other more substantive areas.

It will be important that he exercise patience in all his dealings (in both love and money) during this transit. He wants more security, more comfort, and more love. Rather than trying something new to increase his finances or improve his relationships, he should refrain from trying anything new but rather stick to traditional, more proven methods.

He may find that he needs more love than his partner can give.  He may feel that he loves his partner more than she loves him and so he may find himself seeking mental stimulation from someone else. He may meet someone while traveling, online, or through a friend or neighbor who he will find attractive and who will give him the mental stimulation that he desires.  He may find that he attracts people who deceive him or who do not have his best interests at heart. This person may hurt him or otherwise take advantage of him. This is a karmic lesson that he is being presented with to be more discriminating in love and not go all in too quickly. Generally, the subject wishes to improve his familial relationships (all kinds) so as to have more harmony and stability.
