Take Time to Connect

By James Jarvis, M.A.

Jupiter’s one-year journey through Sagittarius highlights the process of expanding consciousness and understanding. Learning to trust your inner wisdom is the first step. Take time this month to tap into universal wisdom through your body, mind, emotions and spirit.

With the full moon at 12 degrees Taurus on 11/5 at 7:59am, the emphasis is on listening to the needs of your body. Use the full moon in Taurus to connect with your needs for touch, sensuality, being in nature and taking care of your body.

Mars in Scorpio square Neptune in Aquarius 11/16-19, asks you to surrender your sense of personal will so you can be guided by spirit. Use this transit to surrender your attachment to control. Knowing that you’re not alone helps you move into grace and flow with life.

Mercury, retrograde since 10/28, goes direct 11/17 at 9 degrees Scorpio (7:23pm). Use Mercury in Scorpio to tell the microscopic truth. The simple act of telling the truth can release suppressed energy that has prevented you from being intimate with loved ones.

With Venus in Sagittarius 11/17-12/11, the focus is on sharing your joy and enthusiasm (en theo or “in God”) with others. What really counts with Venus in Sagittarius is our ability to share our presence—our love, energy and receptivity—with others.

The new Moon at 28 degrees Scorpio at 5:19pm on 11/20 helps transform old ways of being that prevent you from deeply sharing yourself with others. The new Moon in Scorpio helps you speak your truth more fully and honor the deep passion and intensity of your emotions.

The Sun entering Sagittarius 11/22 at 6:02am demonstrates the Sagittarian principle that meaning is created through accessing higher mind (wisdom) and not through the concrete mind (knowledge). Our job during Sagittarius is to open our minds to a higher philosophical and spiritual understanding so we can be vessels for universal wisdom.

Jupiter shifts into its own sign of Sagittarius 11/23/06-12/18/07 bringing new universal teachers and teachings that will uplift the masses. Now is the time to access your own inherent wisdom and share it with others.

Mars in Scorpio square Saturn in Leo 11/27-30 signifies strong will and the ability to persevere. With Mars/Saturn you can focus your willpower and achieve highly productive results. The challenge is to not drive yourself too hard by being attached to the outcome of whatever you are trying to accomplish.

For Sun, Moon and Rising Signs

Aries 3/21-4/20 Passion is at a peak this month and so is your desire for immediate action. By slowing down and being in the moment you access invaluable information. New ideas that foretell new trends are being revealed.
Taurus 4/21-5/21 The full moon in Taurus on 11/5 highlights your desire to connect with like-minded others. The key is to find your unique tribe. Know that there are others looking to connect with people just like you.

Gemini 5/22-6/20 Paying attention to the wisdom of your body is imperative right now. Listen to what it is telling you even though it might not make rational sense to your mind. Remember… your body doesn’t lie.

Cancer 6/21-7/20 You are open to picking up on new trends, particularly in the workplace. It’s like you intuitively know what’s going to happen next and how it will look. Sharing this information will move things forward.

Leo 7/21-8/22 This month the focus is on tapping into your deeper, emotional core. Don’t be surprised if you’re not as bright, sunny and outgoing as usual. People will still love and accept you if they see this other side.

Virgo 8/23-9/22 You are becoming aware of limiting beliefs that are surfacing from the unconscious. This will help you shift your identification with the analytic mind and depend less on pragmatism and more on idealism.

Libra 9/23-10/22 Looking for increased income? The key is to discover what you are passionate about and do more of it. New income opportunities should appear that will allow you to do what you love.

Scorpio 10/23-11/21 The new moon in Scorpio on 11/20 helps you express your emotions. Just remember that strong feelings could surface now that can affect loved ones. Communicating without blame will soften the blow.

Sagittarius 11/ 22-12/20 If you have to do large-scale planning, now is the time. Your mind has the ability to grasp big concepts and balance the practical with the ideal. Look for ideas that are expansive, sustainable and realistic.

Capricorn 12/21-1/20 Feeling a bit of confusion around the attainment of your goals? You are at a crossroads where vision and reality meet. Now is the time to rethink your goals in terms of the practical steps needed for success.

Aquarius 1/21-2/18 You are being asked to practice present-moment awareness. As someone once said, “The past is dead and the future hasn’t arrived yet.” The smart option is being in the moment where all opportunity lives.

Pisces 2/19-3/20 The desire to serve others is an integral part of your nature. Now is the perfect time to find a form for that service. As you help others with their problems, you will find that your own will automatically shift.
