Horoscope for the week beginning Nov. 7
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the week
The seed of the triple conjunction Solar Eclipse New Moon, which hosted the Sun, Moon and Venus, all huddled closely together at 0 Scorpio, a critical degree, culminates to fruition on November 6 at 2:22 pm PST. Under the light of this Full Moon in Taurus many existing and exciting new realities and realizations are being brought to light.
Some powerful, sudden and dramatic transformational events have occurred in the wake of this pivotal cycle including celebrities and icons alike suddenly falling from grace, notably CBC radio celebrity Jian Ghomeshi. The fact that his suddenly getting fired is linked to sex is apt since Scorpio is involved. Not surprisingly, the eclipse did form a hard aspect to important points in his Natal chart, not the least of which was his career line. Although this is almost old news, the conversation and awareness it has stimulated will continue for months to come.
The `changing fortunes of time` is an eternal theme and everyone experiences it. Some experience it more and others less depending on their karma, destiny, life choices and outer circumstances. We do have free will but it does not simply mean that we can be do and have anything we want as many seem to profess. Yet, we can co-create possibilities in light of the probabilities of our nature and opportunities available to us.
This is where Astrology can provide valuable insight and guidance. It is not simply about sensational predictions. Rather Astrology is best employed as a tool for self-awareness, attunement to our nature, increased objectivity on the themes and cycles of our life and strategy leading to making wise choices.
Nov. 7 to 13
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
Deep and measurable changes are underway in you and your life. Powerful endings are implied. These are and will inevitably be followed by some kind of new beginning or rebirth, but not necessarily right away. Your best assets now include diplomatic communications, empathy, deep listening and a sincere desire to cooperate.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
A process of deepening bonds in some of your most significant relationships continues. Whether in your personal, public or professional life the time has come for creative mergers. Combining your own skills, assets and resources with those of others is featured. You are probably wise, however, to carefully read all the fine print before you agree especially if signatures are required.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Changes in your overall lifestyle continue to roll in. These require creative response on a variety of fronts. To this end, you are wise at this time to give more than hope or expect to receive. Despite some ardent ambitions, be open to guidance, training and/or counsel before you proceed with any major undertakings.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Making strategic investments towards your future is an important theme now. A steady flow of changes in your professional life over the past few years have motivated your focus. Expect this trend to continue. The main emphasis is upon home, family and security. Strategic communications with significant others are likely and ideal.
Leo (July 22 – Aug 23)
Some significant shifts close to home are stirring your imagination. At best, these have inspired you to beautify your living environment. At worst, they are stirring your fears. Open communications about your inspirations and concerns will serve to satisfy both. Making extra efforts now, both within and without, will count a lot towards achieving your goals.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You are in a cycle requiring new initiatives. This may be your window of opportunity to do something you have long dreamed about. Taking an experiential and experimental approach is ideal. Training, re-training or simply brushing-up on existing skills is also likely. Be willing to learn, study, research and generally do homework.
Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)
Dreams of what might be are floating in your mind. These are practically leading you to dig deep, to renovate and to get to the bottom of things. Your focus is sharp and you want quick, clear, accurate answers. You may well soon discover that the best way to get these is to get them yourself or at least to participate more fully in the process.
Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)
A process of taking new initiatives continues. Despite ardent ambitions and desires to try new approaches, however, you have been happy to take it slow until you feel more confident. Expect your focus to sharpen this week. Investigation and research is implied. This is a time of expansion in your professional life, one sure step at a time.
Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)
A reflective cycle is underway. Taking extra time out to look back and gauge just how much circumstances in your life and you personally have changed over the past two to three years can provide perspective. Your ambitions have been rising but the inner work has likely been more important than the outer. The time has come to begin to nurture an entirely new dream.
Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
Meetings with key power players have been keeping you busy. As eager as you are to advance your position, make extra sure that everyone is on the level. Taking the lead to establish win/win deals is more important than usual. Since your will and drive are extra charged these days, you are in a good position to succeed. Consider long-term returns as well as short.
Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)
The challenge to persevere with existing trends and flows continues. Yet, you can see the light and feel it too. Acquiring new skills, tools and specialized knowledge is implied. Do the inner work of clearing doubt and fear and replacing them with gratitude and faith. In this way you will increase your inner strengths for future use.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Activation of your creative powers is yours to enjoy now. Yet you have to do the work of directing them. Breaking through traditional methods and perhaps inherited beliefs and perceptions is required for success. Try new angles of approach to keep those creative fires ignited. Allow for variety and aim for creative synthesis.
