Horoscope for the week beginning Nov. 20
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the week
The big news now is the fact that the Lunar Nodes have entered Virgo and Pisces where they will remain for the next 18 months. This ingress occurred on November 12. Although subtle at first, the influence of this cycle becomes increasing apparent even a couple of weeks in and sometimes right away. The transit of the Moon’s Nodes is a strong indicator of where and how we will each learn important lessons for our spiritual evolutionary growth.
The North Node in Virgo indicates a basic theme of focusing to make the dream a reality so that it becomes manifest, tangible and realistic. That one person’s or group’s success or dream can prove to be another’s loss or nightmare represents the eternal complexity of life. The South Node in Pisces indicates dreams and ideals which otherwise remain eternally on a wish list. But Virgo is an Earth element sign and moves us to take deliberate, measurable and concrete action. The terrorist action that occurred on November 13 in France may be cited as an example of this shift and collective turn of the karmic dial.
Virgo is ruled by Mercury, Chiron and Vesta. Each of these ‘planets’ (Chiron is considered a minor planet or planetoid and Vesta is an asteroid) will play key roles over the next year and a half both in our Birth Charts and by transit.
The Sun enters Sagittarius on Nov 22 at 7:25 am PST. I will shed more light on this ingress next week.

Nov. 20 – 26
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
The transit of the lunar nodes over the next 18 months for you implies a re-assertion of your dedication to service. The sooner you can acknowledge this and adjust your attitude as necessary the better. Otherwise you could steadily slip into denial, disillusionment and deep depression. You will be progressively pushed out of any excessive orientations to yourself at the expense of giving more selflessly.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
An awakening of passion and joy to co-create your world according to your dreams, ideals and destiny, yet also woven with a deep sense of service, has begun. Cultivating a more defined and refined sense of leadership is implied. Rebellious attitudes or casual activities unsupported by a meaningful cause are the danger signs to watch for. Create a beautiful and balanced approach to bring your gifts to the world.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Setting your focus to a new level of service has begun. Excessive status quo expectations will be pushed aside. The deeper needs of your soul even at the expense of social gain and profit require your attention. Directing your focus in service to others, perhaps especially to family members, to a new level is implied. Balance the drive for worldly ambition with unconditional love.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Translating your higher ideals, ethics and principles into modes of communication that can be received and understood by others is a core theme with the North Node in Virgo. Discernment regarding what is fantasy or unrealistic notions of truth, justice and proper conduct will come into focus. This is a call to ‘walk the talk’ of your deeper convictions and higher aspirations of civility.
Leo (July 22 – Aug 23)
With the North Node in Virgo your destined task includes acknowledging what you have and can do with it. Whether it is talents, time, resources and so on, the time has come to share your gifts, opportunities and abilities with the world. You can look to others for inspiration yet it is up to you to share whom you are and what you have as fully as you can and thereby realize the true meaning of abundance.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
The Moon’s North Node transiting through your sign for the next year and a half marks a time period during which you are destined to become more assertive and decisive. While this will include paying attention to the details, you may have to overcome unloving and self-centered attitudes. Overcoming tendencies to lean on others or try to be all things to all people is the flip side.
Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)
One of your main lessons with this new lunar node cycle is to see through and beyond appearances, your own and those of others. This implies dissolving mental and emotional patterns and modes of perception, which you have developed over the years for the sake of security. Cultivating your imagination and intuition to counter-balance logic and facts is featured.
Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)
The North Node in Virgo will activate a process of striking a balance between being personal and impersonal. This includes engaging with others as one among equals, neither standing above or below any other. Seeing through and beyond status and hierarchy and simply recognizing individuality in people will be a central theme. This may also manifest as rendering selfless service to higher ideals.
Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)
Learning to assume positions of authority and responsibility in new ways is a central theme for you with the North Node in Virgo. This is a summons to realize new levels of maturity. Conducting yourself with integrity and respect for the genuine needs of others constitutes an important test. As well, cultivating a deep sense of loyalty to collective causes will enter the spotlight.
Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
Making key commitments and living up to them will prove important for you with the North Node in Virgo. Devotion to higher ideals and what constitutes your higher mind is featured. You are destined to see a much bigger picture and the implications of decisions and trends made in the present spanning far into the future. Guided by solid and enduring principles and ethics will become your motto.
Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)
Incorporating deep and dynamic levels of change into your life will emerge as an important theme over the coming 18 months. You could even feel the need to ‘let go and let God.’ Honoring the notion that change is the law and that adhering to it requires maintaining a firm point of center within your own being could prove pivotal. Focus to give and receive, nurture and be nurtured.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Seeing others more fully, recognizing their individuality and their genuine and specific needs is an important aspect of the North Node in Virgo for you. This may require extra time and effort on your part. Patience and diplomacy balanced by grace and creative leadership will emerge as keys to your success both personally and professionally.
