November 2012 horoscope - Scorpio

I follow the sidereal calendar; this is the monthly solar horoscope for birthdays from 16th November to 15th December

Happy birthday Scorpio, it’s your birthday month and what an exciting and eventful one it is going to be. It’s eclipse month and the solar eclipse is happening on 13th November at about 10pm GMT just at the end of Libra conjuncting the North node in Scorpio. This is a hugely exciting month, sparking a lot of changes in all our lives. Particularly as the eclipse take place in one of your angular houses, it can sparks changes in your professional life, the home life, it can impact relationships – simply put, it might impact Scorpios’ entire life direction. Angular houses in the horoscope are dynamic and planets in the 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th houses express the most action and have the strongest impact. Same with the rulers of these houses. However, in the 1st house and around the Ascendant in particular, the focus is on your personal identity, self-development, -recognition and -esteem. Part of this process is also acknowledging your weaknesses and a certain lack of strength in some areas. You might doubt your life direction and perhaps feel a little insecure and isolated at this time. But think about where you can enrich yourself and where you have not stood up for yourself, where you did not stand up for your own goals and express your desires?

Although the eclipse happens just at the end of your solar 12th house, I am looking at it as though it is in your 1st house already. With Mars, and more recently the Sun and Mercury transiting your 12th house of endings, you would have already had a couple of months of letting go, working behind the scenes and internal refurbishment. Saturn has also been transiting this house since the summer and for the next two or so years so you will still be confronted with this ‘end of an era’ feeling for some time. As with all slow moving, outer planets, Saturn transiting into a new house takes some time to get used to. In the 12th house, it might have been a little confusing and disorientating but this transit will ultimately feel like a spring clean and will help you get rid of some out of date and unnecessary attachments.

After the 17th, Venus the ruler of your 7th house is also in your 12th house where it meets Saturn. It’s a sober time for relationships and although it could bring someone from your past back into your life, it can also herald the end of one particular relationship. When a planet conjuncts Saturn, it become clear very quickly what has and hasn’t worked and what or who needs to go. You have also had Jupiter in the 7th house of one-to-one relationships since the summer and is in retrograde motion until 31st January 2013. Read my blog post on what this means in general. I don’t see Jupite r retrograde as a big issue but for you, this means that your one-to-one relationships will have received a boost over the past months; maybe you have opened up to the possibility of meeting someone new while established relationships have been more expansive in some way. In retrograde motion, we are internalising, stabilising and strengthening everything that has been put in front of us.

If that’s not enough, Mercury is also going retrograde in your 1st house and back into your solar 12th house on 19th November for the rest of the month. So there seems to be a lot of renegotiating, re-thinking and adjustment going on before you can move forward again with a much clearer perspective. And think about it, there may be a reason for the delays.

Although your solar 12th house is packed for you this month, overall, I feel November is a time of new beginnings in some way for Scorpios. This is not a short-term process but a longer-term process and perhaps in a few months’ time, when you look back, you’ll only realise then that something has changed. This can relate to how you view the world and how others view you but it can also affect your intimate partnerships.

Scorpios that have been single for a while are opening up to someone new and this might be the time when that special someone can enter your life. Something should shift next month as you become even clearer about what you are looking for and how to attract it.

Established relationships might see progress and forward movement. There is a gear change in the air and some Scorpios that have been dating for some time might end up engaged before the year is out. Those already married might finally face up to what needs to change, ready for a new course in the relationship. Remember that although Jupiter in the 7th house is not a bad thing, it expands everything it touches, same as the North node, which is still in your first house until mid-January 2013. So, if there are existing issues they’ll easily get out of hand now. Keep a cool head and consider all possibilities. This, of course, also goes for business partnerships. Where have you been treated unfairly? Have you been carrying most of the responsibility? Or, think about where the relationship can be improved to further expand the business? Especially when Mercury goes direct again on 27th November and moves back into your 1st house on 7th December, it’s time for some straight talking.

Looking at Vedic astrology, this solar eclipse is in the nakshatra of Vishakha, ruled by Jupiter. Jupiter gives strength, faith and optimism while Vishakha Moons are said to reap the fruits of their labour only after some time and some effort. With Saturn in the same sign as the eclipse, some delays may well occur and some effort and discipline may be required.

Watch out for further clues and progress when the North node passes the eclipse point on 15th January 2013 and for the lunar eclipse in May 2013.

Mars rules your sign and is transiting the 2nd house together with Pluto. This is a powerful combo and speaks for turbulent but transformative times when it comes to your finances and self-worth. Sounds scary but it also makes you more powerful than you think you are.

To sum it up, the emphasis is now on letting go to make room for something new, to seize the right opportunities that are put in front of your feet while taking your time to rethink, adjust and grow.
