November 2022 Horoscopes: There is wisdom in the darkness

November 2022 Horoscopes: There is wisdom in the darkness

Hello dear ones,

November is a month with a lot of interstellar turbulence.
Luckily, you are the pilot of this plane and you can choose where to land.

Alright let’s get into it.

It’s Scorpio season and you know what Scorpio’s are really really good at? 

Looking straight into the soul of darkness without judgment.

Anyone who’s ever had a Scorpio friend knows what I’m talking about. Scorpio instinctively knows how to hold space for our collective shadow. 

And of course she does, Scorpio is the holder of power, death, and transformation. AND she’s on a mission to banish toxic positivity from the collective consciousness and what better way to do that than to show everyone the wisdom found in our inner darkness.

Scorpio season is all about the clearing out of the old, the fall pruning and planting, and the formation of habits to carry us into the dark part of the year. Scorpio is the reaper who clears the fields so that there will be space for planting in the spring. Scorpio season teaches us that the death, removal, or pruning of something is the first step of transformation. 

Scorpio Season To Do’s

  • Winterize your garden

  • Deep clean your house

  • Clear out your closet

  • Bury your fingernail clippings

  • Commune with the dead

  • Shadow work

  • Transform

Scorpio Season Mantra
I release. I let go. I know there is wisdom in the darkness.

IMPORTANT RETROGRADE NOTICE
Scorpio’s ruling planet Mars is retrograde in Gemini until after the new year. 

On the collective level this means conspiracy theories, misinformation, and polarizing views from the past recirculate. On the personal level, goals, ambitions, and conversations left undone resurface. Are you motivated you to finish what you started? Is this your hill to die on? Or are you ready to recalibrate your trajectory?

The difficult part

  • Questioning the duality of your identity. 

  • Arguments, poor communication, misinformation, and passive aggression.

The gift 

Ample time to reflect on what ignites your passion, your anger, and your motivation.

Dates to Watch

Nov. 5th, Sister signs get together to hash it out. Sure these two fight sometimes, they are sisters after all, but they always find a way to work it out. Relationship oriented Venus in transformative Scorpio meet up with rebellious Uranus in stubborn but loyal Taurus. The cracks in the foundations of your relationships, reasonings, and habits are revealed. 

Nov. 6th, Venus in Scorpio picks a fight with regimented Saturn in Aquarius. This is a very crunchy feeling day, where restlessness and a desire to expand your horizons, goes to war with your doubts, fears, and social pressures. 

Nov. 8th, Full moon lunar eclipse in Taurus. The eclipse is disrupted by the nearness of Uranus. The hand of fate plays its part on this day. There is restlessness. Secrets are revealed. Unexpected generosity. An identity crisis is begging to be expressed in art, music, poetry, and dance. 

Nov. 10th, A break from the conflict, anxiety, and intensity finally arrives when Venus in Scorpio courts Neptune in Pisces. Compassion, understanding, and shared dreams light the path forward. 

Nov. 11th, Sun in Scorpio fights with Saturn in Aquarius making it easy to get stuck in your own head. Could be a difficult day for those with a harsh inner critic. But a good day for a singular focus project. Accomplishing something will bring you dopamine. 

Nov. 15th, Venus in Scorpio shares seven minutes in heaven with Jupiter in Pisces, right before Venus moves into Sagittarius. A good day for romance, love, growth, learning, and money. 

Nov. 17th, Mercury in Sagittarius, makes us bolder and a bit brutal with our honesty.

Nov. 21st, Mercury and Venus cazimi. A breakthrough day for love and money.

Sagittarius season begins on the 22nd. 

If Scorpio is the one who helps us see the beauty in our darkness, Sagittarius is the one who shifts are gaze from the pressing dark to the hearthfire around which all of humanity is huddled: adaptability, exploration, learning, mental fortitude, and expansion.

Truth seeking Sagittarius teaches us to follow what sets our minds on fire with a burning interest to understand, adapt, and integrate. 

Sagittarius Season To Do List

  • Take a class. 

  • Attend a workshop.

  • Throw a party. 

  • Spend time with your hobbies.

  • Work with the fire element.

Sagittarius Season Mantra

I accept what is.
I celebrate my adaptability.

Dates to watch 

Nov. 23rd, The new moon in Sagittarius brings momentum, new beginnings, new information, and mental expansion. 

Nov. 29th, Mercury in Sagittarius faces off with Mars retrograde in Gemini. Hardheadness and inflexibility rule this day. 

Nov. 30th, Venus in Sagittarius and the Mars retrograde having a staring contest at a party. Impulsivity. Sexual tension. Tension in relationships. Love-hate dynamics. 

Also in retrograde this month:

Jupiter is retrograde until November 23rd. This is a time to take a look back, retrace your steps, return to a previous chapter, pick up a book you’d set aside and explore previously missed opportunities.

Neptune is retrograde in Pisces. Neptune will have humanity reflecting on our hopes, dreams, ideals, and aspirations on a global level until December 3rd. During this deeply introspective time the state of your inner world is revealed to you. On the collective scale this brings globally shifting spiritual ideologies, deepening intuition, dream manifestation, dissolving, and immersion in our thoughts and feelings. 

Neptune RX advice: 

Do: Connect with your spirit and embrace the positive energies that surround you.

Don’t: Disassociate until you don’t know what’s real. Run away. Fall into nostalgia traps.

Crystal of the Month: Black Obsidian

Crystal of the month is brought to you by Starseed Curiosities & Gifts an ethically sourced crystal and gift shop for the spiritual, witchy, and curious in downtown The Dalles, OR.

Black obsidian (called itzli in the Nahuatl language) is a volcanic glass that was revered in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica for both its durability for use as tools and for its spiritual properties. It is thought to have intensely protective and healing qualities. 

Obsidian is a dark mirror in which humanity can see itself and come to understand their role as both light and dark, as destroyers and creators

Obsidian is used for

  • scrying

  • unveiling what's hidden

  • self-acceptance

  • inner strength

  • shadow work

  • energy cleansing

  • protection

  • communication with spirits

Astrology is a Tool for Self Reflection

Astrology is a tool we can use to take the temperature of the world and reflect on how we might respond to what’s happening both internally and externally in the world. It helps us pay attention to our physical and emotional states and opens us up to new ways of navigating our thoughts and actions.

Everything written here is meant to be used as a tool of reflection and self-awareness and not as a hard prediction of the future. The stars and planets do a lot of talking, but ultimately we each must decide our own path in life.

Scorpio 2022 Overview

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
Dear Sagittarius,

Happy Birthday!

This month you’re starting off feeling a bit ungrounded. This month you’re in for some potentially choppy social waters, meaning you’ll be experiencing waves of nostalgia, feeling drawn to reconnecting with ex-lovers, and experiencing some doubts in your current relationships.

Leaning into self care will also help you fight back mental and emotional overwhelm. Remember trees take several months off growing every year, and yet they still manage to touch the sky. So take a leaf out of their book and relax. Reground in your environment and in your community by spending time outside, journaling, and social bonding with your trusted inner circle.

Once your season arrives you’ll be embracing a new age of entrepreneurship opportunities, and embracing the beauty of life’s mysteries.

Your Tarot Card: Five of Wands

This moonth may feel turbulent for you mentally so prepare yourself by weaving in meditation and other relaxation practices throughout your day. Don’t get too caught up in the how and why! Just know things may feel turbulent and you can breathe your way through to the other side.
