In the Stars November 10-17, 2024 . . . Shining Light on the Astrology of the Week
The Sun continues to shine in the fixed water sign Scorpio tropically for another ten days. Go inward before the Sun moves into Sagittarius and the holiday gatherings begin. Scorpio likes exploring hidden mysteries.
Mars continues in an explosive opposition to Pluto. While this is a combative aspect, it also can be used to stand up and push forward for our beliefs and causes. A tremendous amount of work can also be accomplished. Mars will go retrograde on December 7. Its slow motion over the next two months, along with its close opposition to Pluto will continue to generate aggressive energy. Two more exact oppositions occur, one on January 2, and the last one on April 25, 2025.
Mercury goes retrograde November 25. Between now and then, make travel plans, tie up communication and holiday party invitations. The retrograde period will be time for reflecting, reviewing, and revising.
______
Saturday, November 9, begins on an up note as a result of a Moon-Jupiter trine. Expect something unexpected as the Moon squares Uranus. A Venus-Neptune square is the strongest influence of the day, making it difficult to judge matters of love and money clearly. Independence remains a strong theme as the Moon completes its traverse of the sign Aquarius at the end of the day.
Sunday, November 10, is an idealistic day with the Moon in Pisces. Mental clarity is challenged due to a Moon-Mercury square, yet this aspect offers wider vision. The day becomes more grounded and productive as the Moon closes in to conjunct Saturn.
The Pisces Moon on Monday, November 11, Veteran’s Day, colors the day creative and visionary. Venus moves into Capricorn for the next 26 days. The Moon’s aspects to Mars may trigger discord in relationships.
Tuesday’s Mercury-Saturn square may make conversations uncomfortable and constrain speech. The aspect can be used for good to polish a writing project, and for discernment with written or spoken word. The Moon-Mercury trine later in the evening bridges communication.
Wednesday morning, November 13, brightens with the light of the active Aries Moon’s benefic sextile to Jupiter. A Moon-Chiron conjunction may add understanding and healing. However, the day then unfolds with more difficult aspects: Moon conjunct Eris, and Moon-Pluto square, and Mars making a square aspect to these planets. This will likely be another hot, feisty day. A lot can be accomplished if the energy is applied for good.
Arguments may be fueled by a Mercury-Pluto minor aspect and a Moon-Mars square on Thursday, November 14. However, the Taurus Moon’s trine to Venus in Capricorn will ease the tension. A benefic Moon-Saturn sextile will restore reason and turn us toward practicality and focused work.
Saturn stations, completing its 4 ½ month retrograde motion on Friday, November 15. When a planet stations, its symbolism is strong, making this a serious, restrained day. The Full Moon perfects at 1:28 p.m., the Moon being at 24:00 Taurus tropically, closely conjunct Uranus. There may be a number of unexpected events.
Venus figures prominently on Saturday, November 16, as it is at the bending of the nodal axis. Thus, a financial or relationship issue may figure prominently. The Sun opposes Uranus which may trigger unexpected changes or disruptions. The Gemini Moon squares Saturn, perhaps compromising the flow of information.
Communication opportunities and issues are highlighted on Sunday, November 17. The Gemini Moon, symbolizing connection and community, opposes the messenger planet Mercury. The Moon also conjuncts Jupiter, amplifying energy for both writing and speaking. Later, the Moon squares Neptune, complicating and confusing issues.
Mercury opposes Jupiter, amplifying thoughts and communication. The Sun makes a glorious, trine, giving vision and inspiration. The Cancer Moon trines Saturn, offering calm and reason.

Moon Void of Course:
This is the time when the Moon makes its last major angular aspect with a planet before it moves into the next zodiacal sign tropically. This void time, when the Moon is not aspecting a planet, but rather floating on its own, is a time when things don’t come together and it is difficult to make good decisions. Purchases made during void Moons often turn out to be unsatisfactory and not work out. Appointments often don’t come together, and meetings don’t result in progress or sound, lasting decisions. We more easily get lost or meander in trying to get somewhere. The VoC Moon times for the next month are listed below so that you can plan meetings, decisions, and purchases at times when the Moon is not VoC; and use the void times for gardening, reading, and routine task work.
