November Astrology Predictions
November 2008
Jollean Schaffer
SCORPIO: October 23 - November 21
Dreams of perfect love and unconditional acceptance are interrupted by a reality check from the 2nd – 5th. Your fervent wish is to be loved even when you behave badly. What is love, after all, but unconditional acceptance? It’s a great ideal but unless you are thinking of love with a perfect saint you will have to deal with a normal human. We (humans) generally fall short of ultimate ideals although we try. Relationship (business and/or personal) and the rules of engagement are the theme on the 13th. Pay attention and learn something. Good deeds are rewarded on the 21st; if not by others at the very least by your sense of personal satisfaction. If the economy’s got you down you can make strides after the 27th.
SAGITTARIUS: November 22 - December 20
We all want reassurance about our future in these days of economic hysteria yet most of us aren’t really surprised that something happened. You may feel the weight of the world on the 3rd and 4th but don’t take it on as though you are alone. Your passion for truth is high from the 5th – 13th. Your ability to act decisively concerning your finances grows from the 16th – 22nd. Think of these times as the Great Correction especially from the 27th and beyond. Make your intentions clear at least to yourself on the 28th and 29th regarding how you want to live in the world as it corrects itself. These times call for visionary insights rather than self-righteous defenses.
CAPRICORN: December 21 - January 19
Change has always been the only constant. You generally like this concept best when you are the instigator of change. The tension between the way things have always been and the change that we cannot stop from happening is at a peak on the 4th. From the 10th – 21st you understand change as not only inevitable but also as good. Use this time to live fully, according to your values and your vision of the meaning of life. You are to be a leader in the times to come. Where would you like to lead us? The truth of this is irrefutable but you will have some years to grow into the role of a steward for positive change – for the good of all.
AQUARIUS: January 20 - February 17
Only in silence can the great mysteries reveal themselves; the silence of peace and inner knowing. It is available to us any time if we just turn towards it. Dive deep into silence from the 1st – 4th even if it seems that pieces of the sky are falling. Don’t just keep your head, keep your heart. The kind of love you can’t distinguish from friendship lifts you up on the 5th – 12th. Grace saves the day on the 13th. Since you can’t make it happen, try just being open to it. Presumptuous people (you or/and the other guy) are proven wrong from the 16th – 21st. It’s not a witch hunt. More like the simple truth.
PISCES: February 18 - March 19
Consider the fact that fate cannot be altered and therefore it is your past. Fate = conditioning. Consider that destiny is not pre-determined because each time you come to a choice point you actually get to decide which way you will go. Lastly, consider that the predictability of your choices is determined by your attachment to your fate. Apply this as best you can to relationships around the 4th. You are making hefty choices; be present. From the 10th – 26th strengthen your contact with your closest friends. They will last you a long time. From the 13th – 21st be especially gracious in sharing all you have – not just money. Intentions regarding professional growth and development should be stated clearly on the 28th – 30th.
ARIES: March 20 - April 19
Are you the grasshopper or the ant? The industrious, boring ant is all set for winter while the frivolous, party-loving grasshopper will starve unless the ant takes him in. We tell this story to children to assure them that if they aren’t prepared they have only themselves to blame. We never mention that it is simply the nature of ants to be industrious and grasshoppers to live for the moment. Take yourself off the hook. Chances are you did not cause the current planetary crises. You are caught this month between a high and a low. If this was a weather report the recommendation would be to batten down the hatches. Our global situation looks more like closing the barn doors after the horses got out. Inspiration comes more easily after the 16th. A reward for your hard work is possible up until the 22nd. From the 27th you are expected to come up with a vision for the future. Beware the myth of progress. Try instead the more humble myth of sustainability.
TAURUS: April 20 - May 20
During the Great Depression Taurus never complained about saving string. Taurus instinctively enjoys conservation. Unruly people disturb the 3 Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle) from the 1st – 5th. Leave them to their ignorance and wait until the 12th when it is easier to share your way of doing things with people who appreciate how you walk your talk for this planet. From the 16th – 21st your inspiration to do more to help creatively restructure your little corner of the universe is very satisfying. It may seem like small potatoes but remember the little butterfly that flaps its wings in the southern hemisphere and the storm the happens in the north.
GEMINI: May 21 - June 20
In Romeo and Juliet Mercutio, the quintessential Gemini delivers a speech about Queen Mab on her tiny chariot, riding through our dreams. Then as he is dying he lands a curse upon the houses of the lovers and we all know how that story ends. Such is the power of your sign to speak from both sides; to entertain and educate as well as to create images of fear and destruction. No wonder so many journalists are Geminis. Let this be a month of challenge. Until the 15th challenge your own mind to choose peace over distraction. From the 16th challenge others. Expose their ignorance and go deep into the mystery of what it means to be human in times of uncertainty. Your challenges will achieve greater success if you can stay grounded and remember that loving kindness in your heart will guide the arrows of your mind to hit the true mark.
CANCER: June 21 - July 21
You are the sublime combination of creativity and productivity. You thought you were busy before the 16th but you will be even busier after. On the 4th take a good look at the constants and the variables of your life. Some things are just the way they are and others are anyone’s guess. On the 13th – 21st you can stabilize your world with the help of supportive friends or partners (both business and personal). This stability takes into account that the world itself is shape-shifting at the moment. It’s like juggling. You can have many balls in the air if you are strong at the core of your being. Many demands come your way from the 27th. You decide easily which is a “yes” and which is a “no” through the end of the month.
LEO: July 22 - August 22
When the economy wobbles, is it an Earth shattering experience? Hard to imagine Earth even noticing but if we are all part of the same organism, she must. Your finances or your values need some serious thinking for the first week of November. If the election down south doesn’t effect you maybe it’s just about the way you spend your time, energy, money and love. Hard work from the 10th – 21st will pay off financially as well as in satisfaction points. Don’t hold back. Creative pursuits call to you from the 16th but the call gets more intense and wilder from the 27th. Express yourself wholeheartedly but make sure you are not compromising your health. You will need it for a long time to come.
VIRGO: August 23 - September 22
Someone you consider equal to you in every way (even if they are different) challenges you to think outside the box. All well and good but you are not ready to simply open your wings and see if you can fly off the edge. The back and forth of maintaining the status quo and trying something new is very good for you this month. You may fret around the 4th but by the 10th and at least until the 22nd you have more to gain by entertaining the notion of change than you could ever lose. If it is love that wants you to change maybe it’s time to let someone in. But only if you can be sure that your boundaries won’t be violated. Love, passion, desire and all that jazz intensifies from the 26th. Are you ready to feel so strongly?
LIBRA: September 22 - October 22
Dreams that you really wish would come true require a fair amount of leg work to actually manifest. Put your shoulder to the dream-come-true wheel for the first week of November. You may encounter some rude obstacles but don’t let this stop your intention. Speak up for your truth from the 12th – 17th. This process of manifesting what you truly want takes effort. A family member who wants you to achieve your goals could be very helpful on the 21st. Say thank you. The known world is undergoing a serious renovation over the next seven years. Do everything you can to keep your basement (literally and metaphorically) dry starting on the 26th.
