Astrology for beginning of November by Susan Heinz, Astrologer
Harmonic Concordance
November begins with a dramatic planetary lineup occurring on the 8th with the lunar eclipse in Taurus, 5:13 pm. This eclipse highlights the powerful energies of Taurus and Scorpio, calling for the need to ground intense energies into a higher harmonious overview of value and perspective. The Sun, Chiron, Mars, the Moon, Saturn and Jupiter align in a six-pointed star during the eclipse. Some are calling it the Harmonic Concordance, giving the idea that we can align with these higher vibrations now since we were introduced to them at the Harmonic Convergence. Interestingly, there has been peak activity of solar flares, sending more light and causing changes in the electro-magnetic fields around the earth. These break our habituated way of living momentarily and physically affect all living beings on earth.
This formation lays out the grid for the higher energies to penetrate lower consciousness and for collective consciousness to be integrated at a higher level. It exists as a seed point and a time of collective healing if we ask for it. Mars opposes Jupiter, bringing an enlargement of the warrior energy. How do we balance our beliefs and our actions into greater consciousness? This is the place of walking the edge of transformation or engaging in destructive energies. This is the time when the need to attune to our inner self and conscience in all interactions will provide the transformational ground. It is the time for attuning to what is common between us rather than polarization through differences.
It is extremely important to understand that many of the events that are taking place are flushing to the surface the fears, the exclusiveness, the prejudices, the greed, the apathy of the collective mass consciousness. This clarifies where we are and what needs to be done to allow for a higher level of consciousness to be held by the people of the USA. Saturn in Cancer continues to oppose Chiron in Capricorn deeply affecting America, challenging our country and us at personal levels to look squarely at what has been created by our actions and to what actions would be the most beneficial at this time. Ultimately healing will come out of this time. Group meditation is highly beneficial and needed at this time. It is group consciousness that is anchoring a new global reality.
ASTROLOGY FOR MID-NOVEMBER TO MID-DECEMBER
As we swing into the time of Sagittarius we feel the influence of Pluto in Sagittarius. We are witnessing transformation, reversals and great change within and around us. We feel humanity polarize around values, peace and war, religious beliefs, law, international conditions and trade, issues of education and human welfare. As we pay close attention to the issues that come forward now and the discussions that are initiated, we see the polarities we are working with through which to redefine ourselves. It calls for a leap upward to gain perspective as the shadowy, residue of old behaviors, belief systems and modes of relating, challenge us during the late November and early December. Watch if communications become heated.
With Mars opposing Jupiter the warrior energy is increased. We are experiencing this as the intensification of fighting and bombing takes place in Iraq and Middle East. Mars, Jupiter and Pluto align, laying down the need not only to balance between the warriors might and a vision of the greater order and meaning of situations, but also to fully address what is hidden, repressed and ignored. Only through that process will the transformation take place.
The solar eclipse of Nov 23th at 2 degrees Sagittarius prompts us to attune to the higher call of human evolution, finding a new center of consciousness for humanity. Polarities are being synthesized into wholeness. A new level of integrity becomes our foundation of being. Look to your own personal life, where you have had difficulties (inner or outer), or impasses, resolutions are being found, creating a new base of personal action.
Many of the events that are taking place are flushing to the surface the fears, the exclusiveness, the prejudices, the greed, the apathy of the collective mass consciousness. This clarifies where we are and what needs to be done to allow for a higher level of consciousness to be held by the people of the USA.
Mars into moves into Aries on Dec 16. We have now completed a phase of review, adjustment and revealing. Energy is propelled to move rapidly forward.
The full moon takes place on December 8th. The power of Pluto in Sagittarius continues transforming. It is a time of great change. Take a stand for truth.
