November 2024
Tensions will run high as the month opens with a frustrating Mars opposition Pluto in place. It is not that mountains cannot be made to move with this powerful energy around but most often it produces a stuck feeling. Considerable effort will be needed to get life moving. Luckily the Scorpio Sun for three weeks is nothing if not determined for miracles will be accomplished where there is a will. A touch of levity will be added by Mercury in mischievous Sagittarius though its habit of blurting out the truth too openly won’t always go down well. Uranus will provide a firework or two after midmonth as it gives rise to acts of rebellion and defiance. Breaking with the conventional ways will be a priority. On the 19th Pluto moves into Aquarius, this time for good, staying for almost 20 years ushering in a new era. The Sun more briefly moves into Sagittarius for four weeks from the 21st – more chat, more travel and adventure will be on the agenda.
