For All Signs: For this month I shall be writing about a major challenging aspect between Saturn and Neptune that will be exact on Nov. 26. It will be in astrology news through 2016. It is already happening. Saturn rules hard core reality, the rules, and limits of our lives. Neptune rules the spiritual, the ethereal, that which is illusive, lacking clear boundaries, addictive and deceptive. This month the planets arrive at a last quarter square, a point at which the "outcome" or the "last bloom" of the original aspect becomes clear. The initial aspect of this cycle was a conjunction in the sign of Capricorn (business, overall economy, authorities) in 1989. That year George H.W. Bush was inaugurated and the world experienced the "fall" of the Berlin Wall. It was also the year of the unforgettable Exxon Valdese travesty in Alaska. Clearly the Berlin Wall and also the Valdese tanker belong to Saturn, both representing absolute boundaries. The culprits were the sea (Neptune) breaking through the tanker and the rapid erosion of Russian authority and power. I leave it to the reader to determine how G.H.W.B. matches the pattern. Whatever has been built on sand will collapse during the next year.
Aries: Concentrate on awareness of any self-sabotaging activities or those things you are avoiding. You have already run yourself short of time, so it's important that you pay attention now before the situation becomes more critical.
Taurus: Your attention turns to personal healing, diet or exercise. For some there will be an improvement in the everyday environment at work. A new person may enter your work arena, who will be helpful and friendly.
Gemini: Continue to allow your intuition to be your guide. The muse wants to speak through you during this period of two to three weeks. Focus on art, music, dance, and color — whatever gives you pleasure. Take long breaks if possible. Being near the water will be most soothing, even if it is only the shower.
Cancer: This is a particularly good time to commune with family. You will probably be drawn together over a matter of importance to each of you. Give attention to whomever or whatever enters your life at this time. A "spiritual teacher" is coming. It may be a person or an experience.
Leo: This is a favorable week for the Lions. Your personal creativity will help you access assistance from the world at large if you need it. This is a healing time. Your wisdom and strength serves as a healing balm for others. If you need emotional or physical healing, someone fills that role for you.
Virgo: You have especially good aspects regarding relationship(s) this week. It is a good time to share your truth with lovers, children, and partner(s). Let your intuition flow and guide you. Give attention to your dreams. You may be drawn to creative projects or writing.
Libra: Venus, your ruling planet, enters your sign on Nov. 8th and will be with you through Dec. 3rd. You always have an interest in appearance and this transit notches it up a couple of pegs. You may "redecorate" yourself with new glasses, clothing, or hairstyle. Often when Venus is prominent we become more interested in anything which adds beauty to our lives.
Scorpio: The gift of gab is your sidekick this week as you stroll through life. You can talk your way into or out of anything you choose. Romance is enjoyable although it is probably not something to bet your life on. Just enjoy the game. Education and short distance travels are favored.
Sagittarius: An unexpected, fairly sudden development interferes with your forward motion in career this week. If hi-tech equipment is important to your job, it may throw a ringer in the works. Whatever the cause, it seems you must stand aside until time fixes the problem.
Capricorn: Aspects particularly favor social and community. You are in an effective position. Others agree with your guidance and leadership and are willing to give whatever support is needed. The trick for you is to pry your mouth open to ask. Don't command or others will work against you.
Aquarius: Everything seems to be grinding toward a halt at this time. It is possible that you have a quarrel with the direction of things around you. Therefore you are dragging your feet or maybe you feel ill. This is just temporary and things will pick up next week.
Pisces: Problems concerning a partner or someone that you love may pressure you into sacrificing your independence for a while. Meanwhile you have favorable aspects related to activities involving distant travel, the law, education, the Internet and church.
