Your Astrological Weather Report for November 2020
I like to think of astrology as a weather report. When the weather calls for rain, you bring along your umbrella or when it’s cold, you wear a jacket. Astrology is not predestination, as we all have free will. Instead, astrology is a tool to know what trends are around the bend. It’s all about energy.
As a new reader, it’s important to check your sun sign (for example, if you’re born June 25, you’re a Cancer). It’s important to also read your rising and moon sign. The three signs together create your special, individual reading for the month. Don’t know your rising or your moon sign? Google “Natal chart calculator” or try this link– it’s free!
Now, on to the big news.
November is a huge month, my friends. After the year we’ve had in 2020, this should come as no surprise. We ended October with a powerful and argumentative full moon (they call it a Blue Moon), which was the first full moon that we’ve had on Halloween in 76 years. I hope you stayed safe during this time.
Adding to the energy, Mercury, the little trickster, has been in retrograde and went direct on November 3. A big sigh of relief on that one. Have you noticed communications feeling muddied, electronics not working easily or have things been breaking down around you the past few weeks? That was Mercury doing the retrograde tango. Even though Mercury is direct on the 3rd, watch out for the post shadow phase till the 19th. Try not to buy electronics or sign contracts during Mercury retrograde. If you do, save the receipt.
Mars and Neptune have also been retrograde. With three planets retrograde, it has put a big damper on our energies. Thankfully, Mars goes direct on the 13th and Neptune on the 28th.
Jupiter and Pluto, two powerhouses, are conjunct on the 12th, magnifying everything in its path and as if that weren’t enough, we have a lunar eclipse on the 30th.
So, read on MacDuff, and find out what all of this planetary action means for your gorgeous soul.
Aries
Aries, my loves, you have been through the wringer. November is another in a series of big months for you, my amazing, heroic souls. I have good news for all signs. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.
The big news for you is that Mars, your ruler, has been retrograde, which feels like you’re trying to run a marathon in a large bowl of maple syrup. When your ruling planet is retrograde, it affects you even more than other signs.
Mars goes direct on the 13th in your first house, just in time to begin to build momentum and energy on new projects and anything having to do with yourself, your identity and what you show the world. It’s like a planetary Red Bull just for you, my dear Aries. Take action on new projects, new adventures and opportunities. Something new is around the corner.
Mercury goes direct on the 3rd in your 7th house of partnerships, joined by Venus. This is big news for all things having to do with your partnerships, either business or personal. A special twinkle and glow will shine in this area. Has quarantining been taking some of the sheen off of your relationships? Now is the time to bring back the magic for peace, harmony and clarity.
On the 12th, Pluto and Jupiter, two huge powerhouse planets (yes, Pluto isn’t officially a planet and quite small, but it packs a big punch) are joined, aka conjunct in your 10th house of career helping to magnify your biggest dreams. You’re an Aries! Time to go for it and make it happen. Take action and get ready to see the needle move on your path and purpose.
On the 15th there is a new moon in your 8th house of death, rebirth, taxes and big money. Set new intentions on your legacy money and finances. The new moon is when we set our intentions and plant seeds. What do you want to manifest and what do you need to release and let go? This transit is about the big picture.
On the 22nd, the Sun moves to your 9th house, which is a wonderful feeling for my Aries friends. This is always a lovely time of the year for you, as you are compatible with your fellow fire sign energy of Sagittarius. You are feeling optimistic about life and your future during this time. Even the air will feel different after the 22nd.
The month ends with a full moon, lunar eclipse on the 30th in your 3rd house. Do you have something to say, communicate or a community to connect with or a book or story to publish?

Plant seeds during this time of the new moon and see what grows in the next six months.
On the 22nd the Sun moves to your 8th house, which requires us to dig deep on investments and money. The 2nd house rules day to day earnings and money. The 8th house rules things like an inheritance, alimony or perhaps a stimulus. Fingers crossed. Once can only hope.
The month ends with a full moon, lunar eclipse on the 30th in your 2nd house on money. There is quite the emphasis on money for you this month, dear Taurus. This house also rules your talents and gifts.
Time to reevaluate your finances, get out of debt and focus on where you invest these energies. You are a Taurus, which rules the throat chakra, and there are more talented singers in the sign of Taurus than any other sign (Barbra Streisand, Ms. Taurus). Let your talents shine and perhaps you could see a little jingle in your pocket.
Gemini
November comes with a big punch, my Gemini loves, but we’re rounding the corner on our “annus horribilis” that is 2020 and I have good news for all signs. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

You might not get the answers right away, but it’s more important to ask the question.
