November contains Scorpio and Sagittarius, the two zodiac signs that are most invested in the truth. Scorpio symbolizes the excavation processes that lay bare the inner workings of things. Sagittarius represents the quest for meaning through the pursuit of knowledge and experience. Both types of digging for fire are supported this month.
With the help of Saturn stationing direct on November 4 and Venus’s entrance into Libra on the 8th, we’ll have both the structural support and social skills to temper our more tempestuous desires for brutal honesty. With the onslaught of Sagittarian energy that rushes forth mid-month, it will take some effort to restrain ourselves from shouting our personal truths from the rooftops (or social media). Mercury enters Sagittarius on the 10th, followed by the Sun entering the sign on the 22nd, and then Mars on the 24th. Like a raging wildfire, the quest for ultimate meaning, control of the narrative, and freedom from dogmatic thinking could run rampant. The full Moon in Gemini on November 27 might quell these hot pursuits with some cold, hard facts.
All of this Sagittarian myth-making, extrapolating, and pontificating is preceded by the much quieter but no less obsessive force of Scorpio. Whatever Scorpio dredges up at the beginning of the month becomes fodder for the rantings of Sagittarius. The new Moon in Scorpio on the 13th looks uncharacteristically bombastic for a new Moon in the sign of stealth and secrets. It’s a dark Moon that sits with Mars and opposes Uranus. Whatever’s brewing underground gets outed in a forceful or sudden manner. Good luck keeping anything hidden in November. On the plus side, if we’ve been confounded by baffling mysteries, the universe promises to blurt out all manner of naked truths…or bald-faced lies. Who’s to say during this malleable and subjective month?
