Inner Vision, Outer Journey!
“Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal!” - P. Vaull Starr
In July 1969, Astronaut Neil Armstrong fulfilled his history-making dream of becoming the first person to set foot on the Moon. He took with him a small piece of fabric from the wing of the Wright Brothers first airplane, as a token and homage to those who had gone before him. Just like those earlier dreamers who first flew, Neil Armstrong envisioned going beyond what had been done before - of escaping the limits that had bound humanity for all its existence. And he succeeded, just as they had done! He lived his dream: like we're all capable of!
Dreams are the road-map of our future. They are necessary for our growth, advancement and survival – they give us motivation, hope, inspiration and opportunity for change. Dreams help us to surmount challenges, face our fears and tap into greater courage – empowering us to achieve our true potential! Although we can't all be pilots or astronauts (still trying!) we can potentially accomplish whatever we set our hearts and minds to! It all begins with an idea, feeling, thought or wish that sparks our hearts! Without our our visions, nothing can manifest.
November is the month to reconnect with our inner world in order to further our outer goals. With Jupiter moving into Sagittarius we're urged to break the bounds of our own earthly confines, push ahead with our aspirations and grow our goals with enthusiasm! As Mercury goes Retrograde, also in Sagittarius, we're encouraged to rethink, revisit and rework our thoughts, dreams and ideas for a more expansive future. A New Moon in Scorpio prompts us to pursue our passions and purpose, while a Gemini Full Moon helps clarify our goals, dismissing what doesn't work in favour of what does! Lastly, Mars moving into Pisces leads the way in helping us to “dream our lives” in a new direction, expressing greater sensitivity, creativity and understanding – of ourselves and others. Begin your manifesting now– bringing those visions of what you want into reality!
What more can you look forward to in the weeks ahead? Here's your Motivational Astrology forecast for November:
1 November (31 Oct in U.S.A.): Venus Retrogrades back into Libra – What do you Value? Just like your life's experiences foster your values and beliefs, your dreams and visions have an enormous impact on your life. As the planet representing love, creativity and values continues her backward dance into relationship-ruling Libra, we're being asked to review matters that are important in our lives: the things we cherish, desire, deserve. For the next 2 weeks we are urged to reexamine what's close to our heart – perhaps going back and reworking our artistic objectives, creative plans or connections with others. With all Retrogrades, there is a feeling of turning inward – examining ourselves, our desires, dreams and our demons. This serves to help us make adjustments, get back on track and move forward with greater strength when Venus goes Direct on 16 November.
7 November (6 Nov in U.S.A.): Uranus Retrogrades back into Aries – What are your goals? As the planet ruling innovation continues it backward crawl, it reverses into the sign of highlighting independence – thus we are encouraged to reflect on what we need for greater freedom in our lives. Now is the time to revisit your dreams and reassess your goals. By embracing unique forms of self expression, liberation from oppression, new technology and inventive pioneering action we find new insights and advancement in our lives and world! Strength, assertive action, inspirational vision, intuitive understanding, advanced technology and new innovation is forthcoming, helping us to open up to new dimensions. Plan now in order to have breakthroughs shortly!
8 November (7 Nov in U.S.A.): New Moon in Scorpio – Pursue Passions & Purpose! This is a powerful time to put into place your plans, passions and purpose in order to bring your visions to reality. This New Lunar Light is favourable for gaining greater understanding of our deeper feelings, finding new awareness and assisting us in transforming our lives! In the sign of Scorpio, our inner workings, intuitive sense and passionate feelings are highlighted. Deeper appreciation of our psychic, healing and intuitive powers can be felt now helping us to transcend any challenges that have recently been experienced. This is a time of renewal, of new beginnings and the promise of a fresh start regarding the important issues of your life. What can you begin today to help manifest your passions and purpose?
9 November (8 Nov in U.S.A.): Jupiter goes into Sagittarius – Embracing the Big Picture! As the planet representing expansion and opportunity shifts into its natural sign of exuberance and optimism, we embark on a new chapter of growth and positive possibilities! For the first time in 12 years this Jupiter/Sagittarius pairing will bring fresh adventures, inspiring energy and greater opportunities to learn, grow, travel and expand our horizons! Dreaming big, expanding our visions, taking on exciting adventures and embarking on limitless undertakings are highlighted! This is considered to be a lucky combination, helping us to advance our life’s journey and embrace the big picture of who we are and where we are going like never before! As such, we're being urged to acknowledge and identify with others on a more universal and global level. Opening our hearts and minds and becoming more accepting and accommodating of the differences in this world is another thing we can look forward to with this celestial combination! Jupiter will be in Sagittarius until 3 December 2019.
16 November (15 Nov in U.S.A.): Mars goes into Pisces - Activate your Dreams! With the planet Mars ruling our desires, drive and determination pairing up with the mystical and imaginative sign of Pisces, we can embark on a period of greater spiritual and intuitive exploration. With the energy planet connecting with this sensitive water sign, we're compelled by what affects our souls – bringing change from the inside out! The weeks ahead give us the opportunity to “dream our lives” in a new direction, expressing greater sensitivity and compassion toward ourselves and others. It's also a magical time for musical or artistic activity, or any type of expressive movement. Begin your manifesting – bringing those visions of what you want your life to be, into reality!
16 November: Venus in Libra goes Direct – Celebrate your Joys! As the planet of love and enjoyment now goes forward in the sign ruling relationships and affection – so too can our feelings of joy and appreciation for what is within us and around us! Artistry, beauty, balance, harmony and aphrodisiac feelings are all highlighted now – so honour, cultivate and celebrate your joys! Luck is on our side for connecting with others, manifesting new relationships and finding greater symmetry in our interactions! Now is the time to meet up, share and show your creative ingenuity and romantic talents. This lovely cycle helps us all feel more attractive, social and up for exciting enchantment – so go for it! What do you envision now for bringing more positive energy and love into your life?
17 November (16 Nov in U.S.A.): Mercury in Sagittarius goes Retrograde – Revisit your Vision! The final Mercury Retrograde of 2018 occurs now, lasting until 6 December. This gives us a window of opportunity to re-evaluate, review and readdress our hopes and dreams for the times ahead. With the communication planet backpedaling in this optimistic sign, we'll be reworking our plans regarding personal and professional growth, finances and endeavours for the future. This is another indication that to broaden our horizons we must first envision and think through what we want to create. It is time to listen to our inner voice, carefully considering the steps to take to master our goals. The usual retro reminders apply: watch over-exuberance and impatience at this time – and take extra care with communications, negotiations, interactions, travel and mechanical devices. Change is in the air – so allow extra time, double check details, be patient and definitely keep flexible!
22 November: Sun goes into Sagittarius – Grow your Optimism! A new cycle of joy, expansive expression and positive feeling begins! Opening ourselves to greater prosperity, possibility thinking and freedom-loving adventures inspires more confidence and abundance in our lives! A great time for seeing the big picture in order to manifest it! Tap into higher minded expression, philosophical awareness and happiness harvesting now in order to surmount any challenge! This brings a new cycle of expansive expression, encouraging visions and positive feelings. We can open ourselves now to greater prosperity, possibility thinking and freedom-loving adventures which inspires more confidence and abundance in our lives! As we express more positive energy and extroverted interests we grow our minds and souls! What new journey or interesting adventure can you embark on this month?
23 November (22 November in U.S.A.): Full Moon in Gemini – Reflecting and Releasing! This large Lunar light signals a favourable occasion for reviewing what's occurred for you this year, with an eye to what needs releasing before jumping into 2019! Consider all you've observed, discovered and come to understand these past months and what you've learned about yourself and others. What has worked and what hasn't? Upon reflection, what do you need to let go of now in order to move forward? Discussing your experiences and goals with others while getting informative insight on what's ahead (suggestion: Motivational Astrology reading!) can help you better manifest your dreams for the coming year! Use this Full Moon to spark your curiosity, connect with kindred spirits, learn more about yourself and find ways to better map out your future!
25 November (24 November in U.S.A.): Neptune in Pisces goes Direct –Advance Your Dreams! As the planet ruling dreams, visions and creativity moves forward now through its natural mystical sign of Pisces, we're encouraged to honor more of our spiritual awareness, artistic inspiration and intuitive insight! Greater appreciation for the beauty around us as well as within us is highlighted. We-are-all-one compassion is emphasized along with humanitarian expression and sympathetic response. Finding ways to embrace greater empathy, holistic awareness and universal understanding is emphasized. As Neptune goes Direct in Pisces our imaginations become more magnified, our fantasies more sublime and we are far more psychically receptive. It's important to trust your inner voice to recognize the options and prospects unfolding for you. This can be a time for the advancement of your dreams – just make sure to keep an eye to the realities of life while creating your vision! Neptune will be in Pisces until 31 March 2025.
The Outer Planets stay in a sign for a longer period of time, so their effect on us is more gradual, but significant none the less. Here they are in their current positions:
Jupiter moves into Sagittarius: As the planet representing expansion and opportunity shifts into its natural sign of exuberance and optimism, we embark on a new chapter of growth and positive possibilities! For the first time in 12 years this Jupiter/Sagittarius pairing will bring fresh adventures, inspiring energy and greater opportunities to learn, grow, travel and expand our horizons! Dreaming big, expanding our visions, taking on exciting adventures and embarking on limitless undertakings are highlighted! This is considered to be a lucky combination, helping us to advance our life’s journey and self awareness like never before. As such, we are being urged to acknowledge and identify with others on a more universal and global level. Opening our hearts and minds and becoming more open accepting of the differences in this world is another thing we can look forward to with this celestial combination! Jupiter will be in Sagittarius until 3 December 2019.
Saturn in Capricorn: As the planet representing responsibility, maturity and structure continues traveling through its ruling sign of Capricorn, we're encouraged to focus on the practicalities of life. Highlighted now are issues of efficiency, realism, creating and restoring order, rebuilding faulty structures and conserving our resources. Rewards come to those who put in the efforts that merit achievements – and to those who show thoughtful concern, patience and perseverance in their undertakings. Saturn is a teacher – helping us to grow through past mistakes, failures and hardships. By using the knowledge that we gain from these experiences, we can acquire greater wisdom, self awareness, patience and finally, advancement. Saturn in Capricorn focuses on righting the wrongs around us, ushering in a new era of ethical concerns and rewarding sincerity, integrity and authenticity. This can be the time when your hard work, efforts and dreams finally pay off! Saturn will be in Capricorn until January 2021.
Uranus is Retrograde in Taurus, backing into Aries: From 8 August until 5 January 2019 Uranus will be Retrograde. As the planet of innovation moves “backwards” in the sign ruling finance, beauty and creativity, we'll be offered different perspectives on life, love and money. This can be a time for uncovering information, bringing new realizations and highlighting changes - especially in areas of funds, possessions, business dealings, material security and the things we value. We can anticipate some reawakenings, shakeups and shifts in the way we handle our environment, Mother Earth, artisty, affection and our relationship with others. During this time we're offered the opportunity to make personal and global breakthroughs, helping us develop ways to overcome obstacles and welcome ways to better our world. Uranus will be in Taurus until 2025!
Neptune is Retrograde in Pisces: The planet ruling dreams and creativity will continue it's Retrograde motion, in its ruling sign of Pisces, until 25 November when it goes Direct. During the Retrograde time, we are encouraged to honor more of our spiritual awareness, artistic inspiration and intuitive insight! Greater appreciation for the beauty around us as well as within us is also emphasized. As Neptune goes “backwards” we are urged to feel and express greater “we-are-all-one” compassion along with further sympathetic understanding and involvement with humanitarian endeavours. Readdressing ways to embrace further care and empathy of others, along with universal understanding is highlighted. As Neptune goes Direct in Pisces on 25 November we will have more forward motion in creating, visualizing and manifesting our dreams. Greater faith, spirituality and greater use of our imaginations are the gifts of this Direct motion! Neptune will be in Pisces until 31 March 2025.
Pluto in Capricorn: As the planet of Transformation continues its motion through the sober sign of Capricorn, we get serious about making positive changes to ourselves and our world. The overall theme of this cycle is uncovering the misuse of power and authority to enable change for the better. It represents a major time of rediscovery, review and reconsideration that brings transformation to our society, government, world order and Mother Earth. It also pushes us to think about the changes we want to make to our belief structures and our power as individuals and as citizens of the world. This pairing of Pluto in Capricorn will continue until 24 March 2023.
Chiron is in Aries: As the “wounded healer” moves through the sign of Aries, we have greater opportunity to overcome personal obstacles, revive belief in ourselves and our abilities and feel a greater sense of self worth. As we surmount challenges, we find greater empowerment, advancing our individual confidence while manifesting more of our goals. Chiron will be in Aries until 2027!
