Jupiter, the “planet that brings good things, protects us, nurtures our growth and offers us opportunities” moves from Scorpio to Sagittarius on Nov 8th, where it is “at home”; its expansive energies best felt in the sign it rules. “Jupiter governs religion, adventure, philosophy, good fortune, abundance, optimism and expansion”. This planetary shift, lightens during its transit, the emphasis from heavier issues to more fun, adventurous and optimistic endeavors; the particular benefits affecting us individually according to Jupiter’s placement in our charts. But wait! This shift will be hampered nearly immediately as Mercury retrogrades, and we find its influence slowing our momentum. As in any Mercury retrograde, we need to chill down and let our creative side of the brain do its thing for awhile. Spending time in quiet contemplation, enjoying music, doing art, journaling, dancing, whatever helps us shift into our more balanced selves, is advisable. This will also be a good time for us to return to small projects or tasks, going through closets and belongings to find the things we can donate or discard, releasing things no longer needed.
Mars, moving into Pisces, “will reward” those with gentler approaches; philosophical and spiritual activities attracting us more, “especially during the second half” of the month, “when little synchronicities are more likely to appear if we’re on the right track”. A full moon on Nov 23rd will be in opposition to Jupiter and Mercury, and squared by Mars; this can be a very tricky time. We need to be mindful of over-extending ourselves physically, emotionally, financially. “This is an intense, volatile full moon, during which emotions could easily get the better of us”. Go with the flow and be mindful that we may “need to rein in our reactions” some. “Jupiter’s growth needs to be balanced with care, optimism with realism, and greed with satisfaction. November is about a quest for meaning. If we don’t have a sense of meaning in our lives, we tend to consume things we don’t need or fill our days with as much external stimulation as we possibly can. The negative side of Jupiter in Sagittarius doesn’t know when to stop, and greed takes over. The positive side enables us to create a life rich with meaning. Pause for thought during this penultimate month of the year, and ask, ‘What gives me a sense of meaning?’ Then go and do it!” Adventure awaits us!
