A noticeable shift in light accompanies our first steps into November, casting longer shadows and bathing us in a soft, muted glow. The sky reflects changes on our earthly plane, too, where feelings of urgency are tempered by some planetary oppositions.
The Sun’s conjunction with Mars lends us renewed energy for chasing after our passions. But this fiery drive is tempered by the Sun’s opposition to expansive Jupiter, reminding us to pace ourselves and not be blinded by overambition.
Mercury, the messenger of the gods, continues its team-up with Mars, igniting our thoughts and words with dynamism. This surge in mental energy finds balance in Mercury’s harmonious sextile to Venus. Look forward to eloquent expressions of affection, but stay alert because Mercury’s opposition to unpredictable Uranus hints at surprising revelations or abrupt changes in plans.
Venus, the planet of love and beauty, forms a trine with Uranus, suggesting unexpected romantic or creative sparks. At the same time, its opposition to Neptune cautions us against getting lost in illusions. Try to stay grounded and aware of the difference between fantasy and genuine connection.
In all, as the days grow shorter and the wheel continues to turn, it’s a time to strive for balance between eagerness and reflection, taking cues from the changing light around us.
