Information about the month ahead for all the signs

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT NOVEMBER…

Everything old is new again – sort of!

As November begins, the planet of communications, Mercury, is retrograde, for the last time in 2019. This latest cycle lasts until November 20. So what to do?

1. Whatever else you do, don’t panic!
2. Back up your computer files and photos to your hard drive/the Cloud
3. Take back something you wish you hadn’t said
4. Take a stroll down memory lane
5. Make up with someone you fell out with earlier

Mercury retrograde has a bad reputation but actually there is always a positive side. Use it to right past wrongs and get back in touch with people you miss!

Tempers could be flaring…

Forewarned is forearmed, as they say, so here is a warning; in the first week of November, we get a rather startling and angry clash between anger planet Mars and furious planet Pluto. Put these two together and there is no doubt that emotions are going to be running high! So do your meditations and yoga plus plus in the first seven days of November. And if you do lose your temper, remember that Mercury retrograde has your back in terms of saying sorry about making up.

The New and Full Moons of November

The Full Moon takes place on November 12 at 11.34pm AEST. So on that night, get out and howl at the Moon! Once you have done that, take some time to use the Full Moon energies. Doing a little forgiveness ceremony that night or the next will work wonders. Who do you need to forgive? Write down why you need to forgive them and then burn the list. It’s a very powerful exercise. Remember to forgive yourself. It’s also the night to put your crystals out to cleanse them!

The New Moon takes place on November 27 at 1.05am AEST. That means when you wake up that day is the perfect time to make some New Moon wishes (or that evening when you get home). The New Moon is in the sign of Sagittarius so it’s especially powerful for making wishes related to study, travel and getting perspective on life. Remember to follow up your wishes with some action points which you can take. It’s also the perfect time to make some wishes and set some intentions about what you want to achieve in the month ahead. Writing your intentions down has a powerful effect, so do it!

So much to learn…

The other big news this month is the latest and last of the Saturn/Neptune alignments which have characterised 2019. Think about your spiritual journey this year; what have you learned? Where do you want to know more? Saturn/Neptune is among other things, all about learning about life’s mysteries. If there’s a mystical subject you want to know more about, November is a great time to start your studies.

All in all, apart from the Mars/Pluto clash on November 5 and some tense energies on November 14 and 27, the month ahead looks very promising.

As you just read, Mercury is retrograde this month until November 20. Our astrologer Yasmin Boland has written a new book called The Mercury Retrograde Book (co-authored with Kim Farnell) and we have XXX to give away!
