Mercury retrograde coming

Get your important repairs, computer upgrades, etc done in early November, before Mercury retrograde begins on November 24. Mercury represents communications, transportation, scheduling, and the details that can goof these things up. When retrograde, Mercury’s energy goes against the grain, and these things are more subject to errors, delays, and snafus. Mercury retrograde is great for reviewing old notes, reviving old threads in your life, getting back in touch with people or projects from your past.

Jupiter sextile Chiron

We last saw this sextile in July, and it will be exact again in early December, most strongly felt in the 2-3 weeks before exact. As it repeats with Jupiter now retrograde, we release toxins on the internal level. Internal work you do now brings about positive shifts in your outer, external world in the first two months of 2012. It’s a wonderful setup for looking into ourselves and learning about our place in the natural world and the universe.

Mars opposes foggy Neptune on the 6-7th. Play it safe— take a pause before committing to a new idea or project. The picture is out of focus. Careful with drugs, alcohol, chemicals, mechanical gizmos, and water.

Mars moves into hands-on Virgo on November 11. Mars trines Pluto November 20-22. Solve nagging problems by taking a practical, organized approach, focusing on the details and making sure they support the bigger picture of your goals and values.

A cluster of septile aspects appears November 14-16. Increased likelihood of encounters with UFOs, ghosts, and other multidimensional phenomena.

The Solar Eclipse on November 25, together with a Lunar Eclipse in December, sets a new energetic pattern for the next six months. Bernadette Brady says that this Eclipse has to do with breaking a bond or dependency in order to grow and achieve your goals. This month’s Eclipse squares both Mars and Chiron. If something is irritating you, pay attention to that feeling and spend some time with it until you understand the deeper roots of it within yourself.

Mark your calendar!

The best days for your top priority plans and calls are November 2, 15, 16, 21, 22, 24, 27.
