Astrology Forecast for November 2014

Astrology Forecast for November 2014

by Kathy Biehl

Here that rush of wind? It’s the collective sigh of relief. October’s intensity is fading ever so slowly. November brings its own richly textured movement and growth, but without the disorientation of sudden endings and groping around in the dark.  Here is the Astrology Forecast for November 2014.

Three distinct threads form November’s tapestry. The first thread adds warmth, color and vitality to the mix, as celestial movements stoke the element of fire in the sky and in ourselves. The amplification begins on the 9th, when Venus head-butts Jupiter and encourages wanting what you want, and more of it to boot. The flames roar higher and higher in three big stair steps, as Venus, then the Sun and then Mercury move into adventuresome, high-minded and gregarious Sagittarius.

Each shift ups our energy and movability and bring us back to life from the travails of October. Relationships lighten up, socializing becomes more boisterous and fun, and a generally optimistic atmosphere ignites when Venus moves into Sag on the 16th. The Sun’s shift on the 22, coinciding with the New Moon, ignites the party season. When Mercury follows on the 27th, minds go into jibber-jabber mode, jollity and joking increase, and the impulse rises to travel all over creation.

Against this growing fire, a cosmic clock goes off in the first 12 days of the month that forces clean-up and implementation of last month’s developments and decisions involving the radical restructuring we’ve been undergoing for the past two-plus years. The trigger is Mars, ruler of our drive and ambition, contacting both change agents. He crosses Pluto on the 10th, dealing a death blow to crumbling paradigms and shoving new structures into place. (What transpires now directly links to the possibilities and pressures that burst forth between last Christmas and New Year.) Two days later, he demands action from volatile Uranus, and the impact sets off impulsive, explosive, pattern-breaking developments at the very time that Venus is linking with Saturn (about which more below). Watch for an epidemic of leaping into suddenly-serious relationships — and/or bolting from agreements that previously had no way out.
