NOVEMBER HOROSCOPE

as published in Venice Magazine

by elizabeth de vries



The mirroring which is implicit in a retrograde Mercury in Scorpio will bring to the surface issues which could have lain dormant in us for a very long while. Scorpio speaks of sex, of birth and death, of joint resources and the rejuvenating powers of life after descending into the darker aspects of our psyche. Our ego boundaries with others become blurred. What is hitting us as someone else‚s anger could very well be our own. Think before speaking as Scorpio does not thrust its rapier mind lightly. It hits at the frailer parts of others and draws forth blood! Mercury is highly energized by the Plutonic upheavals which could create endings in our life. Is there a relationship in your life which needs severing in order to grow and flourish in a new and healthier way? Take regular timeouts in order to regenerate yourself physically, mentally and emotionally. Ponder your words before applying them. Seek to know the „why‰ of what is troubling you. Retrograde Mercury will help you delve into a deeper level of thinking and feeling and assist you to bring forth clarity about your relationships and your surroundings if you take time to regularly meditate and listen to your inner Being. You may at times feels alienated from those whom you love∑but this alienation is necessary in order for you to access your own Spiritual guidance∑.otherwise you could end up obsessing endlessly about matters which at the end of the day really have no validity. Remember this Mercury is retrograde in a sign ruled by Mars and Pluto∑not to be lightly reckoned with and definitely we must seek peaceful solutions to the resentments and furies which boil not too far beneath the surface∑.As Carl Jung so aptly said∑‰the demons jump up and down within us∑we acknowledge their shadowy presences∑we just must not let them run the show.‰



ARIES: March 21st to April 19th



With Mercury retrograding in the solar eighth house, Aries individuals receive a double whammy. Mars is your ruler∑Mercury in Scorpio says „transform your thoughts in such a way that you take the visions of your past and apply them into constructive actions in order to build for your future. You must learn how to control and regenerate your thoughts listening carefully to the words of advice which you give to others∑it may be that those words which flow so eloquently from your being are meant for your ears beyond all else! Any impulsivity or rash behavior at this time could result in negative repercussions. The lesson to be learned is to become more rational and discerning in thoughts and actions completing all things positively∑.After the 22nd the Sun comes out brightly in your solar ninth house∑fire greets fire and it will feel as if someone lifted a heavy load from your shoulders∑



TAURUS: April 20th to May 20th



The partnership angle is highlighted by the transit of a retrograde Mercury in Scorpio. Be still and avoid impulsively becoming the analytical critic of your partner‚s behavior. After the honeymoon of a relationship is over we no longer feel that the beloved is every ideal that we ever dreamt of or wished for. Mercury‚s retrograde motion pushes us to seek out „what is not there‰ in favor of what is. The rose colored glasses are off and we must refrain from projecting onto the mate what may in turn be one of our own issues. With a Mars energy already lighting up the committed relationship angle, Taurus individuals often face their shadow self within the guise of their partners∑Retrograde Mercury can be a positive transit if we use our powers of discernment to dive into the deeper fears which we or our mates may hold∑sit quietly in the space of deep feeling which exists at such times and come out the other side stronger and more bonded than ever.



GEMINI: May 21st to June 20th



An ideal time exists to embark on a program of physical rejuvenation. Retrograde Mercury assists us to redefine ourselves from the inside out. As it sits in the solar house of the critic (Virgo) we must guard against being overly hard on ourselves expecting perfection where perfection is unattainable. Perhaps you are throwing yourself into energetic activities when your Gemini brain needs softness, stillness and slow movement such as Tai Chi or Yoga? The solution may lie in doing less rather than more as the twins are often prone to over-programming their lifestyle rather than making consistent efforts to be quieter and more solitary. Is your schedule booked entirely? Perhaps your gift from Scorpionic Mercury‚s impact is to reduce the pressures in your life∑the adage „be still‰ and seek out the inner knowing could apply more now than ever before.



CANCER: June 21st to July 22nd



Mercury in Scorpio pushes you to cultivate a vantage point inside yourself where you are a spectator who can witness whatever is going on even in difficult times. This way you become free to engage wholeheartedly in life from a more discerning place. Choose the roles you assume as ways to express your creative source wholeheartedly. And as you take on these roles Mercury helps you to wisely accept the fact that you must not identify your self with what happens to the roles you play. It is so easy for us to get caught up in the drama and think that we are the roles we assume. As Mercury retrogrades through your solar house of love affairs, be absolutely certain that you are operating from a place of integrity. If not you could be found in a compromising position and Scorpio can be relentless when such a situation exists!



LEO: July 23rd to August 22nd



Mercury‚s retrograde impact forces you to examine just how you have been fed emotionally by loaded memories of the past and also projections into the future. Be very still and take a look at where you are interpreting and projecting. Focus in this moment on what you are perceiving, hearing and feeling. Whatever the crises in your life, if you step into the „present‰ the next step will be clearly laid out in front of you. When you wish to „be‰ a certain way and do not know how, let your Leonic soul help you to simply act as if you already were that way. Even if you do not feel loving, act loving. The relaxation which will ensue from such a practice will give you a great source of comfort. Mercury transiting through this part of your solar chart will greatly enable you to dive deep into your subconscious and come up with some exciting and clear solutions to the dilemmas surrounding you.



VIRGO: August 23rd to September 22nd



Being a Mercury ruled sign, when this planet goes retrograde it affects you more than it would other signs. When Mercury retrogrades in the house that it rules (third house in your solar chart) it creates an increased amount of mental activity. It is as though you are tingling with new ideas, reflections on old thoughts and deeply introspective moments. Take care not to be too abrasive right now as it could appear that you are simply not being understood. There is much that you would perhaps „like‰ to say right now but if you hold back the impulse to set others straight and instead go back over your thoughts before speaking you will reach the minds of others more easily. A penetrating and acutely observant mind has its pluses and minuses. And a retrograde Mercury enhances and exacerbates the situation. The advice? Plow into any sort of written or verbal communications being extremely aware of the impact and force of your words. In this way the retrograde will enlarge you experience of life rather than limiting it.



LIBRA: September 23rd to October 22nd



As humans we are extremely protective of our beliefs and value systems we have worked so hard to crystallize. Thoughts about how life unfolds, how others treat us, what to expect in the future∑a sort of „expectation list‰ is ingrained in our minds through past experiences. Mercury in Scorpio swoops in and forces us to let go of limiting constructs of thought and rebuild our way of approaching the world. Instead of being defensive about what you feel and why you feel it, simply allow yourself to let go of
„how others have hurt or maligned you∑‰ No matter what you know abut the people around you, put it out of your mind and confront him or her afresh. Images of others provide us with certainty and security. Foster a sense of awe for people whom you already know and you will have grand and expansive experiences in ways which you could not have imagined.



SCORPIO: October 23rd to November 21st



Well on the one hand we celebrate your solar return with joy and happiness. Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and Mars all light up the personality angle giving you charisma in spades! Do not keep your light under a bushel right now. Concurrently Saturn squares off the four Scorpio planets helping you to redefine the directions of your life. You may have had some powerful „endings‰ around you∑or stresses over the past year that were damn hard to bear. Mercury‚s retrograde positioning encourages you to do a deep focus on the self. How have you changed? What impacted you the most over the last year? Continue to sift through events in order to establish a deeper contact with your Spirit. Your self image is a mental model of whom and what you are that you employ to approach and interpret events. Whatever your self image, the more your Scorpionic mind focuses around it then the less you can live afresh∑Journaling would be most helpful right now to uncover just how you really do view yourself.

SAGITTARIUS: November 22nd to December 21st



You have made enormous progress of late in how you view others. We rarely realize how much time we spend interpreting whatever we are attending to by judging, evaluating, analyzing and making comparisons. Over the past few years Sagittarians have strengthened their ability to direct their attention towards new experiences of themselves and others. It is as though you have dropped encapsulated thoughts and freed yourself to experience others in ways which are for you a „brand new approach.‰ Freedom has become the mainstay of your existence∑as it should be ∑as your sign epitomizes freedom beyond all else∑And with the Sagittarian soul it is a freedom of the mind which helps you to soar above your life and see yourself as the grand spirit which you are. A great forward movement for Sagittarians comes when they can just enjoy a simple experience with no interpretation of any sort. It would then be enough just to see, hear, feel and taste it! Mercury‚s movement through the watery house of Pisces in your solar chart helps you to drop self judgment and embrace your inherently artistic and creative soul.



CAPRICORN: December 22nd to January 19th



Scorpio‚s benefit is to assist you to experience more mental freedom and to move away from what one could define as „practicality of thoughts.‰ As Mercury moves through the retrograde phase you can employ its potent mental powerto be an inspirer of the thoughts of others∑The downside is that you could get lost in daydreams pondering what you could have done and even at times sinking into procrastination. Right now you may seek out „aloneness‰ or become more mentally detached from your friends or groups. Some may consider you to be too cool or impersonal right now but such actions are necessary in order to sort out with whom you wish to spend time and why. On a positive note consider deeply what you wish to disseminate to mankind at this time. What are your goals and dreams via the route of service? You may feel drawn to study more detached forms of religion such as Taoism or Zen Buddhism. Anything is possible! Explore.



AQUARIUS: January 20th to February 18th



Self identity and how it relates to your career comes to the fore. Do not silently underrate yourself right now as it could lead you to trying to overcompensate. Instead look to inner sources of inspiration and stop allowing those around you to define how you feel about yourself. We are often not aware of just how much our thoughts create directions of worthiness or lack of self worth. Use the Scorpio energies to empower your thinking. Jot down just how many times your thoughts slip into negativity and consciously redirect them back into more expansive areas. This way you will avoid depression or feeling compressed by the demands of those around you. Meditation and gentle energetic healings would do much to alleviate the stress which this transit could bring forth right now.



PISCES: February 19th to March 20th



Exploration through the imagination comes to the fore as the planets (including Mercury retrograde) traverse your solar ninth house of the „higher mind.‰ Travel is highlighted (physically or mentally.) If you are embedded in your lower nature to the exclusion of your Spirit you could feel drawn to unhealthy fantasy worlds of thought and action. Traveling mentally into territories which stir the more base aspects of personality soon lose their ability to satisfy. Then the fish feels prodded to turn around and seek a different river of life∑moving into spiritual studies and exalted forms of meditation. Neptune‚s child could feel challenged by Scorpio‚s blatant honesty. The face which you see in the mirror will be your own. Take a good hard look at the outer you∑then let it dissolve as you seek out the realms of your radiant Spirit. If you are aligned with the Inner You the difference between the two faces will not be that apparent!
