NOVEMBER 2024 ASTROLOGY NEWSLETTER
Hello fellow sky travelers, what I’m seeing looks to be a November to remember, on planet earth, The cosmic map for the next 31 days is packed with 2 intense solar and lunar events, and a fair dose of confusion and conflict all of which will only make later month’s Mercury retrograde look like a Lionel train set going backwards.
Meanwhile the very early days’ Celtic, Hindu and Christian deep soul seeking festivals indicate without a doubt that this mid point between Fall and Winter has been honored as a spiritual standout for thousands of years. The ancient origin of our Halloween,Pagan Celtic Samhain, has been celebrated in the British Isles for centuries as has November 2nd’s Dias de Las Muertos from early Christian tradition. Both revere these days to connect with the spirits of the ancestors when the veils between worlds are at their thinnest.
Added to this threesome, is the five day Hindu festival of Diwali, beginning October 31st, the traditional ceremony of lights intended to dispel darkness, with its chants and candles culminating on Monday November 4th. Is the timing of this festival a coincidence? How appropriate could it be that a sacred event commemorating the triumph of good over evil lines right up to our own USA ’s Big day? Thank you Diwali.
THOUGHTS ON THIS CYCLE:
OCTOBER 31 – NOVEMBER 7th
November 1st wakes up with an early New Moon (5:47 am pdt) in Scorpio, all pressure and power building. Fortunately this lunar event matches up perfectly to steady handed Saturn, along with a calm Mars water trine. We might even receive some much needed cosmic insurance from this combo. We’ll need it. Vedically, this new moon occurs in the nakshatra of ambitious, power seeking, and sometimes wise Swati. Vedic astrology sub divides the 12 signs into 27 sections, called nakshatras, which I find to be very helpful with its precise descriptions.
For many Scorpio’s deep core may lay in the shadows, but under this new moon flanked by super sergeant Saturn, you’ll have a trainer at your astro gym. For these close birthdays or Moons in Scorpio,
your trainer will help lifting those weights of doubt and encourage an inner awareness as to who you really are, and recognize your own inner gifts.

NOVEMBER 3 – 7th, Our first 3 days days show a feistiness that will probably descend into fractious chaos as Mars edges into Leo, the King, and faces off against destructive underworld Pluto. The argument between these two creates a difficult aspect for our USA election. With fire and fury about to unload it can be dangerous. In checking out the charts of each candidate, I’m hoping that both of them will have iron grip security. Will we know who won the election? I doubt it but it’s buckle up time now, and I’ll delve a little more into the two main charts, for election time and further down what January 20th looks like .
Some astrologers are convinced of a Trump victory because Jupiter is close to his north node in Gemini, but not exact to his Sun. He will probably be doing a happy dance as Jupiter can exaggerate and the next few weeks might encourage him. But will he become president? Kamala also has Jupiter very close to her ascendant and north node, reasons for excitement, although both candidates have equally hard aspects. I could get into some astro details but I’ll stop here, you get the point. Were all the ballots counted, mail in ballots too? Were voting booths securely protected? Don’t forget we have those two angry dudes Mars and Pluto going fiercely at each other.
NOVEMBER 8 – 15th We might call Mercury’s hit to Pluto on Saturday, just the trigger to the ignition for what’s to come. Because this mid month’s full moon in Taurus opposing the Sun in Scorpio, is impacted by freedom fighter Uranus, who likes to upset certain steady earth bound patterns. Then to have the death star Algol next to the Moon and the rebel Uranus, has me raising a red flag of extreme caution for this November 15th – 17th. It will likely provoke a hurricane of news, a blowout globally as well as nationally, Added to the back of this dark star night is the injury dealt to our own USA moon, kinda like a divorce decree.
NOVEMBER 19 – 23d Pluto enters Aquarius on the 19th where it will stay until 2044. New chapter has begun. We may have arrived at a slightly better time of the month. Venus nice sextile with Saturn helps, and the weekend’s dynamic hours may brighten the news for a brief moment. To further assist is that stunning boost from Chiron with Eris (the female version of Mars) both exact in Aries, amping up Mercury’s communication feed. The Uranus link to Mercury is all about bringing truth to light. Big Money, investments, health ? Ok we’re onto something big. By Sunday we ll have the Scorpio Sun trined with Neptune, which can spread a layer of calmness, however brief, from this nearly spiritual planetary blend. Especially if we don’t watch the news that night.
NOVEMBER 24 – 30th
Meanwhile Mercury on its information mission in veracity minded Sagittarius, decides to go backwards on the 26th, just to keep the truth train moving amidst all the confusion. Unfortunately he might not be too successful with a square to Jupiter for 3 weeks. `
With the Sun now in Sagittarius combined with Mars and the transiting lunar node of destiny, right with the USA on the USA chart’s point of destiny, we’re onto something here.
Moving ahead to January 20th’s traditional date of the inauguration, what do the stars say? After spending a few hours studying the transits, progressions, solar arcs for both candidates, I think I found that by January 20th, we may see a significant shift as to what may happen on that date.
Here we go. Trump’s chart holds some ok yet also a couple of very harsh aspects, toughest of all being his progressed moon in Scorpio hitting his natal Pluto. That’s a dangerous aspect.
In spite of her grit and courage, Harris will no doubt have some physical and emotional issues to deal with, how can someone be calm on election day, vice President, actual President? Then she does have some upbeat aspects, a very definite hail to the Queen from Jupiter, and best of all, her progressed moon trine natal Venus and Neptune. That’s an emotional and deep heart opening. So you can see who I’m thinking our next president might be, yes, Kamala.
With the Sun now in early Sagittarius we’ll have Mars trine the lunar node of destiny, all in early fire signs.. This triad coincides directly right with the USA ’s identical 6 degree point of destiny in this lifetime. Rahu, the north lunar node expresses what the soul might do in this present life. We’re onto something here. As much as Sagittarius’ respect for honesty and truthfulness was elevated by this new moon, we’ll have to wait and see what spins out, if its the election result confirmed, that may take some time given the aspects. This letter was a little longer than usual so I’ll sign off here, and leave you you with this piece of wisdom from Carl Jung, whose later work with clients sometimes included the archetypical gifts of astrology.
“The starry vault of heaven is in truth the open book of cosmic projection…”`
DAYS OF BEST USE: 1, 2, 18, 21, 25*, 30*
BIRTHDAYS OF NOTE:
The following birthdays are based on the very close degrees of the Sun not just a large swath of 1- 30 dates for which I could never be specific.
I only mention specific dates of the Sun that are affected in a current month. Normally a true birth time will provide an accurate rising sign and degree of the moon. Call these the Three Majors. Then we can begin to talk true astrology. The Sun is still very significant for it represents the soul’s manifestation in the outer world, health issues and then the house position gets even more specific. Planet, sign, house, is what how we begin. If you’d like to see your own chart for these details just follow the link provided.?www.astrodienst.com

ENDING NOTE
Questions, confusions, issues lie ahead no doubt but as we move into 2026 the core, and soul essence of our USA Sun, who we are, will receive some benefic aspects, all outer planets in perfect air to fire alignments and the closer planets when the chime in to emphasize this. I’m holding out that thought.
