Planetary Illuminations for November 2013 are posted

You can read the entire article here, and if you are on my mailing list you will be getting your translation into English shortly.  Meanwhile, here is a synopsis of the major events for November:

The biggest single planetary influence in November is the fourth alignment of the square between Uranus and Pluto. (If this is new to you read the short synopsis in the sidebar and visit this most recent article.) This planetary dynamic has been fostering breakdown of old patterns and introducing new energies and change of all kinds both in our personal lives and in the world at large.

Mercury is retrograde until November 10th, during which time we are asked to reflect and revise our preconceived ideas and judgments. This is not the best time to begin new ventures although sometimes we must begin new projects or sign contracts during Mercury retrograde periods. In that case we do our best to anticipate potential problems or communication glitches, and when they occur we can be comforted by the fact that it’s a normal part of the cycle of life!

Mars (action) is in the industrious and organized sign of Virgo throughout November which makes this a great month for cleaning and weeding through old possessions which we no longer need in order to clear the path for the transformation of Uranus and Pluto. This will be particularly effective during the Mercury retrograde period which offers us an opportunity to look back and RE-organize.

Jupiter and Neptune both change direction this month (Jupiter will turn retrograde and Neptune will turn direct) and they have both slowed down to a crawl in preparation for the turnaround. Jupiter is the traditional ruler of Pisces and Neptune is its modern ruler, and with both of them at a standstill and beaming their energies with focused direction, the sense of possibility (Jupiter) and imagination and creativity (Neptune) are both more available than usual. This openness and creativity can help us to rise above the tension of the planetary dynamics and connect more easily to our spiritual center.

Chiron will also change direction as it turns direct. Chiron has a tendency to apply pressure to a sensitive wound until we are forced to notice it and do something about healing it, so there may be an underlying emotional sensitivity throughout the month.
