Weekly Astrology Forecast: November 9 - November 15, 2020
/Major themes for this week:
1. Actions must match your desires: Mars vs. Venus
Have you wanted to do something recently but just won't? Have you been writing it down, visualizing it, telling everyone how much you want to do it, but nothing?
The Mars and Venus opposition on November 9 encourages you to align your actions with your wants.
In astrology, Mars represents action, your willpower, and drive. It is how you act out the desires passed down from the Sun (your central focus).
In this case, Venus, the planet of love, represents your desires, your wants, the balance you are seeking to create in your life.
With Mars retrograde in Aries until November 13, actions and impulses have been encouraging you to slow down.
But the November 9 opposition challenges you to go beyond your surface fears, excuses, and blockages and ask yourself, is this what I want?
Are my intentions and desires (Venus) matching my behaviors and interactions (Mars)?
Am I acting in a way that brings me harmony, peace, and balance?
Am I staying consistent in my own right and getting things done?
In astrology, Libra is extremely intellectual. Libra's energy has a way of understanding people, places, and things and relating to it in a way that anyone can understand.
However, Libra energy can be extremely passive.
Rather than acting in their strong convictions and capitalizing on their magnetic charm, Libra can be codependent — waiting for others to validate or approve their decisions.
At the same time, those who are resonating strongly with Mars in Aries energy may be bulldozing through life right now, hurting others and themselves in the process in the name of accomplishment or gain.
The purpose of this opposition is to see where you are imbalanced, where you are over and underdoing it, and how you can create more efficient systems and self-awareness to build a life that is both sustaining and exciting.
On a relationship level, this opposition is encouraging you to focus on how you can serve yourself, fill your cup, and then pour out graciously to others.
Reaffirm your boundaries and give yourself a self-check.
You can not give what you do not have.
2. Clearing house: Jupiter and Pluto Conjunction
On November 12, the third and final Jupiter and Pluto conjunction of 2020 will commence.
For starters, the conjunction series between these two heavy-hitter planets began on April 5, and the second one occurred on June 20.
During these two conjunctions, we saw an increase in Covid cases and the beginning stages of a world struggling to repair itself in the process.
What does this mean?
Naturally, in astrology, Jupiter rules expansion. Jupiter represents the areas in your life (and chart) that spotlight opportunity, fortune, and leadership.
Pluto, on the other hand, represents destruction. It destroys what is no longer necessary so, something else can evolve.
In a sense, it is a resurrection, a ceremony. It takes away, and it revives.
When you bring these two planets together, you experience healing expansive energy that is here to encourage you to take leadership over your destiny; to take ownership of your destruction and resurrection.
This energy is asking you to trust in release and rise.
With the third and final conjunction occurring on November 12 (three days away from the Scorpio New Moon), this powerful new beginning (conjunction) highlights an opportunity for the world as we know it to make one final clean sweep before Saturn and Jupiter conjunct in December (when a new social order and system is being born.)
Capricorn rules structures, old men, government, rules, and systems. It represents the literal and figurative limitations that strengthen you.
Look at your house of Capricorn. What does that house represent?
What systems and limitations in your life are you shedding? What blockages are you clearing once and for all?
This energy is potent for those who may have lingering issues with an absent or emotionally detached parent or domineering adult figure in your life. You could finally have the courage to acknowledge the effect it had on your path.
Pluto tends to vibrate at a subconscious level. Its intentions are never clear until the tower has fallen.
So, also focus on the self-limiting beliefs of the subconscious mind.
Be mindful of the way you talk to yourself, especially with Mercury joining the Sun in secretive Scorpio on November 10.
This energy will help you realize and become conscious of your vices and hindrances -- what you use to escape.
Jupiter needs movement. So pay attention to where you hold stress and tension in the body? Is your jaw tight? Do you clench your back when you want to say something but don’t speak up?
Are you clinging on to money? Are you clinging on to a job? Are you clinging on to a false sense of stability and authority in your life?
Allow your emotions to flow. Let what needs to die, die.
3. Support is there if you ask for it: Sun sextile Jupiter and Pluto
Do you feel like the past few weeks have just been a tad bit too heavy? No worries. The support you need for the area of your chart (Capricorn) that is being affected by Pluto and Jupiter is strong this week. Support is here.
On November 14, the Sun in Scorpio forms a sextile Jupiter and Pluto in Capricorn.
In astrology, Scorpio is fixed water energy, meaning that it has strong emotions and knows how to channel them consistently to create superb results.
Capricorn is cardinal earth energy, meaning that it is initiative and action-seeking. It knows how to create results with efficiency and patience. It will endure whatever comes to reach its goal.
A sextile between these two energies represents supportive energy.
The Sun, Jupiter, and Pluto may not have the same beliefs, but for now, they are on the same team.
Your emotions and shared resources/connections (Sun in Scorpio) will help you heal (Pluto) and support your long-term goals and dreams (Jupiter).
With the New Moon in Scorpio reaching its highest point the next day, November 15, this is an excellent transit to go to therapy, begin a new work relationship, financial opportunity, etc.
Other themes for this transit:
support on the birth of new financial paths and income streams.
the birth of a new empire, government, family legacy/business, or dynasty.
receiving good news or approval on a financial application.
creating healthy intimate relationships that have the potential for long-term growth.

Air Signs: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Are you tired of running around in circles? Then slow down, air sign. This week’s energy reminds you that you are the Magician. You can manifest anything that you see in your mind’s eye — including your dream lifestyle. If feeling complex, simplify. Your tasks don’t have to be complicated to be efficient. Being yourself is the quickest and easiest way to attract the things (and people) you want. But, find your balance. Notice what you are doing in excess and find alternatives instead. It’s time to minimize your obligations and commitments. Cleanse.
Earth Signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
What was once shiny and bright may be feeling dull after weeks of staring at the colors. But just because something is less admirable than when you first received it, does that mean it’s really no good? This week, you will need to decide on something. You may be called to be a judge or asked for your opinion. Others are becoming more aware of your expertise in an area, and no matter what your role or position is, it will help get you noticed. Instead of shying away from the attention your work brings, bask in your garden. You built it from the ground up.
Fire Signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Take control of the reigns this week, fire signs, the energy this week is here to remind you that you, yourself, are in control. Whether it’s in your finances, love life, health, or self-care, notice the direction you are ready for your life to take and what it’s going to require on an internal/emotional level to get there. You may be departing from a family member or struggling with letting go of something that was once close and familiar to your past. But there’s no sense of crying over it now -- it is gone. If you are mourning a physical loss, give yourself extra space to heal. Politely excuse yourself from any situation that does not respect this.
Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
The beginning of this week has you feeling a little down. Listen to your body and not your ego. Give in to rest. By the middle of the week, your reserves would have recharged, and you’ll be feeling confident and grounded on your feet. The most important takeaway for you this week, water sign, is to slow down. You are juggling back and forth between two separate areas of your life when the universe is asking you to find a way to integrate them. How can you bring a and b together? A big issue for you is a subconscious desire to compete. Accept your fear of missing out. You can’t cling to what is meant for you (and no one can “steal”’ it from you either).
