November 2020 Planetary Energies

During the month of November a lot of frustration will begin to ease as planets begin to turn
direct after being retrograde. However, we are still going through a period of
transformation and change which can create tension. All for our highest good of
course.
The first to turn direct, will be Mercury on 4th of November. This usually indicates
an easing up of mistakes and mishaps regarding communication that we could
have been experiencing during the retrograde. However, it may not be until after
the 6th of November before we really feel an easing up.
Mercury squares Saturn on the 1st of November and then again on 6th of November indicating a time of misunderstandings, critical thinking or negative thinking. Just try to remember that we may have a tendency to lean more towards the negative rather than the
positive during this time so that things don’t become too difficult or heavy for
everyone. Awareness is key!
The next planet to turn direct is Mars on the 14th November. If you were feeling
angry or frustrated, not being able to move forward on something important or some area
of life, there won’t be as many stops and starts now as the pathway becomes a
bit smoother. Keep taking the steps towards your desired goals though, as you’ll
still need to apply effort and have courage if you want to succeed.

The New Moon in Scorpio on 15th November can have us delving deeply into our
feelings. We may desire meaningful emotional exchanges now more than at any
other time which can make us feel a bit tense as it’s helping with transformation
and change. Shallow relationships won’t satisfy us at this time.
On the 17th November Mercury will be opposing Uranus for the third and last
time since Mercury went Retrograde. Mercury will be in Scorpio indicating more
surprises, secrets being revealed and things coming to light that we weren’t
aware of.
Finally, on 30th November there is a Lunar Eclipse in Gemini. We are encouraged
to let go of whatever is no longer serving the soul. It is a time to release, purge
and possibly saying goodbye. A culmination like this always occurs before a new
beginning. Just like this whole year, again, we’re being asked to let go of
something, even if it’s a thought pattern, that’s no longer serving our highest
good.
All will be well!
