Good day, Invisible Pal, April right here, and the date immediately is November eleventh, 2024. Welcome to Episode 264 of the Large Sky Astrology Podcast. This week, a Taurus Full Moon connecting with Uranus may deliver sudden revelations; Venus enters pragmatic Capricorn, and lends motivation to North Node objectives; Mercury squares off with Saturn; the Solar sizzles with Uranus, and I reply a listener query concerning the ongoing affect of transiting Pluto all through the beginning chart.
Venus enters Capricorn (Nov. 11, 2024, 10:26 am PST)
Venus enters Capricorn on November eleventh at 10:26 am Pacific Time. It’ll be on this signal via December sixth. Venus, in fact, is a logo of relationship and of funds, and issues that give us pleasure. Whereas Venus is in Capricorn, we are likely to wish to be a bit of extra sensible with our cash. We wish to put our cash to work quite than spending it on frivolous issues with little to no lasting energy. Whereas Venus is in Capricorn, you would possibly wish to give particular consideration to your investments in shares, companies, properties, and antiques, which is one thing Venus in Capricorn tends to love so much.
Our aesthetic, whereas Venus is in Capricorn, is for issues which might be of the very highest high quality and that may final almost in perpetuity. For instance, shopping for a very well-made pair of sneakers that may final you for years to come back. Now, Venus additionally symbolizes relationships, and whereas it’s in Capricorn, a number of issues are doable. Initially, you would possibly take a look at your relationships with a bit of extra of a sensible eye, and start to judge whether or not the relationships that you just’re in are actually in sync along with your values and one thing that you just wish to stick to over the lengthy haul.
Relationships can change into extra critical when Venus is in Capricorn, however solely those that need to final. Venus in Capricorn may also symbolize relationships the place there’s a major age distinction or distinction in life expertise, as a result of it does point out the potential of mentoring or instructing or studying as a part of the connection. So, if we’re with older folks, or with the very younger folks in our lives, this may be actually pleasant and rewarding whereas Venus is in Capricorn.
Mercury sq. Saturn (Nov. 12, 2024, 5:22 am PST)
Mercury squares Saturn on November twelfth at 5:22 am Pacific Time at 12º 42’ Sagittarius and Pisces. Each these indicators are dominated by Jupiter – Jupiter’s the standard ruler of Pisces. Each of those indicators prefer to take a giant image view of issues. The distinction is that with Pisces, it tends to be a extra ethereal view. We’re pondering much more about what occurs on the planet after this one, or within the psychic realm.
Sagittarius is taken into account one of the vital optimistic and upbeat indicators of the zodiac. So entering into critical or unhappy conversations of the character of Saturn aren’t essentially our first selection whereas Mercury is in Sagittarius. However life isn’t at all times enjoyable, there’s at all times work to be carried out, and there are tough matters that generally should be dealt with, however when you get previous the ache, knowledge is gained.
Mercury, together with Saturn, may also give us a greater perspective on our ambitions, maturity, our status, and supply insights and concepts about easy methods to higher take accountability for our actions and our emotions.
Saturn stations Retrograde (Nov. 15, 2024, 6:21 am PST)
It appears to be very a lot Saturn’s week, and on November fifteenth at 6:21 am Pacific Time, Saturn stations direct at 12º 41’ Pisces. It’s been retrograde since June twenty ninth. Anytime certainly one of these slow-moving planets like Saturn turns retrograde or direct, we really feel their symbolism way more strongly, usually, on the planet round us and inside ourselves.
Saturn inside ourselves can present up as a larger sense of gravity, of heaviness. Generally this will present up as melancholy and even melancholy. Saturn’s been retrograde for about 5 months and infrequently brings a interval of deep introspection about our standing on the planet, about how we’re doing with reaching our objectives and ambitions and looking out inside for a roadmap or an itinerary for a way we’re going to get from right here to the place we wish to be, trying inside for authority and path quite than outdoors of us.
Saturn is about maturity, nevertheless it can be about concern, and I discover that with Saturn fears, they’re fairly often primarily based in actuality. If one thing tough has occurred in your previous, a loss of life or an sickness in your loved ones if you had been very younger, a tough transfer from one place to a different, an incredible lack of monetary safety – irrespective of how typically anyone tries to let you know that one thing you concern that’s occurred prior to now is not going to occur, can not occur, that it can occur since you’ve seen it occur.
And so, it’s not unrealistic to be afraid of the stuff you concern symbolized by Saturn in your beginning chart, and we’ll see that in the home that Saturn is in, the signal that it’s in, the features to different planets. In the course of the elements of the yr when Saturn is retrograde, we glance inside to fortify our power, to cope with the issues that we naturally and realistically concern. The extra we work at these, the extra we work to beat these fears, the stronger we’re, the extra mature we’re.
Taurus Full Moon (Nov. 15, 2024, 1:28 pm PST)
And now for the Moon Report, and it begins with the Taurus Full Moon on November fifteenth at 1:28 pm Pacific Time, at precisely 24º Taurus, with the Solar at 24 Scorpio. This can be a actually attention-grabbing Sabian image. It’s at 24 Taurus, A mounted Indian with scalp locks. It’s very grisly, a really gory picture. 24 Scorpio, reverse that’s, Crowds coming down the mountain to hear to 1 man.
I bear in mind Lynda Hill saying to me – she’s an Australian skilled on the Sabian symbols – she mentioned, when you may have a Sabian image, take a look at the symbols that sq. it and oppose it. As a result of they’ll typically give the same message. With the Sabian image for the Moon, the Mounted Indian with scalp locks, we see a person who has acted violently. Within the Solar’s Sabian image, crowds are coming down a mountain to hear to 1 man. He has earned their respect to the extent that they wish to hearken to what he has to say.
And 24 Leo, An untidy, unkempt man, emphasizes the significance of appearances in whether or not or not folks will respect and hearken to us. And 24 Aquarius, the man turning his again on ardour, instructing from expertise. And it’s virtually the alternative of that 24 Taurus, as a result of that image is all about ardour, and this one says as a substitute, the person turns his again on ardour, and he’s going to show and speak to the crowds which have come down the mountain – via, not ardour, however cause, primarily based on expertise and what he has realized.
So what we’ve here’s a Moon in Taurus, which usually loves being on this signal. It’s a secure, methodical, calm Earth signal, nevertheless it’s additionally at this Full Moon in a conjunction with Uranus. And normally this brings a bit of extra agitation, a bent to behave, if not from ardour, then in uncommon or sudden methods.
And let’s not overlook that Saturn has stationed direct earlier within the day. So, there’s this rigidity on this Full Moon between the vitality of Saturn, which is transferring in direction of stability, and Uranus, which is transferring in direction of the sudden and alter.
No matter how issues prove on the day of this Full Moon, the Full Moons are at all times lovely. And it’s good to go outdoors on the night time of a Full Moon and take a look at the Moon for some time. I do know there’s some individuals who will take water outdoors on the night time of a Full Moon so it may be imbued with this vitality of the Full Moon. Not a horrible thought, if that’s one thing you wish to do.
Lunar Section Household cycle
That is the Full Moon in a lunar section household cycle that started with a New Moon on Could nineteenth, 2023, at 28 levels, 25 minutes Taurus. And you probably have a journal, notes, a calendar from that point, you would possibly wish to look again and remind your self what was consuming your time and your vitality and your ideas throughout that interval. In the event you preserve a document of the New Moons and any type of intentions that you just put forth at the moment, now could be when you must start to essentially see what’s manifesting on account of what you planted at that New Moon.
There was motion or motion taken in direction of these objectives on the First Quarter Moon on this lunar section household cycle on February sixteenth, 2024. Now we’re on the Full Moon, and in 9 months, on the Final Quarter on this cycle, on August fifteenth, 2025, we see what must be carried out to deliver this cycle to a satisfying conclusion.
Void-of-Course Moon intervals
Let’s take a look at the Void-of-Course Moon intervals for this week. Pluto is the planet of newest diploma this week. It’s solely 4 minutes of arc from transferring into Aquarius, which it can do on the nineteenth. So all of the Void-of-Course Moon intervals are very quick this week as a result of it simply doesn’t take the Moon lengthy to maneuver 4 minutes of arc from its remaining facet to its new signal.
These, I feel, can nonetheless be very intentional moments that remind us of habits that we may benefit from altering, however we’ve so much much less time to do it in. So, this is likely to be a greater week for making notes about what we’re feeling at these instances, what we’re desirous about, and the way we will take that ahead to vary habits sooner or later.
On November eleventh, the Moon sextiles Pluto at 10:13pm Pacific Time. It’s Void-of-Course for 13 minutes, after which enters Aries at 10:26 pm. The Moon in Pisces, making a sextile to Pluto says there is a chance, and right here it’s a possibility, I feel, amongst different issues, to let go of disappointment, grieving, emotional baggage, remorse, and transfer forward towards constructive actions, that are symbolized by Pluto in Capricorn.
On November thirteenth, the Moon in Aries squares Pluto at 10:50 pm Pacific Time. It’s Void-of-Course for under 9 minutes, after which enters Taurus at 10:59 pm. You probably have been discovering your self feeling very angsty, and the angst tends to wind you up when you ought to be settling down for the night time, begin early on at the present time, get a bit of train. That’s one thing that helps the Moon in Aries rather a lot to keep up its equilibrium. In the event you don’t have time to try this otherwise you overlook, you may take into account rolling out your yoga mat for a relaxing night yoga session. Higher but, go to YouTube and watch “Namastay in mattress.” No mat is required. We’ll put a hyperlink to this within the present notes.
Bear in mind, Void-of-Course Moon intervals are for breaking habits, so if this has been a persistent drawback for you, this not having the ability to wind down and relaxation, it is a good, if very quick, Void-of-Course Moon to work on that.
And on November fifteenth, the Moon in Taurus trines Pluto at 11:03 pm Pacific Time. It’s Void-of-Course for simply six minutes, after which enters Gemini at 11:09 pm. The Moon trine one other planet, because it goes Void-of-Course, brings a present. And features to Pluto remind us that a lot in life is out of our management. And we will probably be a lot happier if we will be taught to only management our personal ideas and emotions.
That is the night of the Full Moon. Taurus loves lovely aromas and oils. Perhaps usher in your Moon water that you just’ve unnoticed underneath the Full Moon. Rub it in your wrists and take a look at these out. Get a sleep masks to dam out the highly effective mild of the Full Moon. It’s lovely, however it may additionally make it tough to get good relaxation.
Venus sq. North Node (Nov. 16, 2024, 3:03 am PST)
On November 16 at 3:03 am Pacific Time, Venus in Capricorn squares the Aries North Node. When a planet is sq. the nodal axis, as it’s right here, it’s mentioned to be on the bendings of the nodes. And Venus in Capricorn is North bending, which suggests it’s inclining towards the North Node in Aries. North Node bendings are mentioned to be factors the place new vitality is coming in.
So what’s coming in with Venus in Capricorn? It’s about custom, respect for guidelines. And because it’s squaring the North Node in Aries, it’s a bit of little bit of a reminder. The North Node in Aries says, go for what you need and want for your self solely, as a person. However this Venus is a bit of little bit of a reminder, that the issues that affect us personally, and the issues that we do personally, very a lot affect others.
And that is significantly associated to our households, however simply society generally as effectively. This facet would possibly level to methods wherein we have to reinforce a stronger basis for ourselves in order that as we’re transferring within the path of the Aries North Node, of pursuing our personal passionate pursuits. With out asking others for permission, which is all nice, that’s what the North Node is encouraging.
However Venus in Capricorn is simply that little reminder there, that claims, have a look, for instance, at your monetary image. Spend a bit of time along with your spreadsheets, along with your investments. Are you shedding monitor of what it’s good to be doing for the longer term on a sensible degree in your need to maneuver impulsively within the path of self-improvement? Additionally with relationships, having a look at how a lot time and vitality you’re giving to the relationships which might be essential to you, the folks that you just actually care about, and this is able to in all probability particularly be your loved ones. So, inspecting these issues are obligatory, I feel, on the Venus in Capricorn sq. to the North Node.
Solar opposes Uranus (Nov. 16, 2024, 6:45 pm PST)
And the Solar opposes Uranus on November sixteenth at 6:45 pm Pacific Time at 25º 14’ Scorpio and Taurus. Take this chance to understand the qualities that make you distinctive. I communicate typically when we’ve a facet between the Solar and Uranus about how essential it’s throughout particularly the difficult features from the Solar to Uranus to let your self strive one thing new, even one thing that you just really feel is likely to be out of character for you. And when it’s an opposition facet, we will extra typically see what is likely to be out there to us if we take a look at others. If we take a look at an in depth buddy who tends to be diametrically against us in some ways, however take a look at them and assume, hmm, the place have they got it proper, in a means that I might need been getting it improper, out of a need to remain who I’m and never change.
When the Solar opposes Uranus, look outdoors of your self. And see how different folks which might be in any other case type of much like you is likely to be approaching essential issues that you just would possibly profit from a change in. This could possibly be particularly revealing in monetary issues, as a result of the Solar in Scorpio and Uranus in Taurus are each in indicators which might be related to cash and funds, and in addition about emotional connections and depth, that steadiness between Scorpio’s fervor in relationship and the Uranus want for a bit of little bit of house.
Listener Query: Pluto’s Transiting Results all through the Chart
On this week’s listener query, an invisible buddy who prefers to stay nameless writes, “Hello April, are you able to please make clear a query I’ve about recognizing Pluto’s transiting results in a home?
With Pluto transferring quickly from Capricorn, the place it’s been since 2008, to Aquarius, there’s numerous speak about reflecting on Pluto’s impact on matters dominated by the home Capricorn is in, in your chart. However in 16 years, hasn’t so much modified in so many features of our private and collective lives? I really feel like I can see Pluto’s transformative affect in all 12 homes of my chart, not simply Capricorn.
Are you able to assist deliver some focus and readability to recognizing Pluto’s results? Thanks.”
Effectively, thanks for that query, my buddy. Sure, in its lengthy march via Capricorn, or in any signal, Pluto leaves his mark on each planet and each home. It really works like this.
Primarily, in fact, the Capricorn home is the principle territory the place Pluto has been focusing his work. In all probability, the areas of life described by this home in your chart look fairly completely different than they did in 2008. It’s a lengthy, sluggish journey to Pluto’s transformation, and I’ve typically in contrast it to having an individual transfer into your basement and keep there for a decade or two. In that point, you may virtually overlook the individual is there, however then perhaps they’ve a loud celebration, or determine to take away a wall, or take up cooking an intensely smelly type of meals, after which it turns into not possible to disregard them, so it’s with Pluto.
Means again on Episode 113, I gave a mini lesson on ordering the planets in your chart by diploma, to present you a way of how issues are likely to movement for you as transits and progressions transfer via your chart. So, let’s say Pluto and Capricorn has been transferring via the seventh after which the eighth homes of your chart, bringing an understanding of interpersonal relationships and the way they have an effect on your relationship with energy. That’s the lengthy view.
However then let’s say the planet of earliest diploma in your chart is Mercury at 1 Scorpio within the fifth home, giving an intense curiosity – Mercury – in topics like self-expression, creativity, kids. Pluto in Capricorn’s first facet in your beginning chart activated Mercury with intense curiosity, studying every part you may a few topic, conversations which might be very compelling. The facet was a sextile, which normally opens the door to a brand new thought, topic, or risk that taught you one thing extra about management and energy, akin to easy methods to management your thoughts and the best way you’re employed with language.
Then, look to the homes of the chart with indicators dominated by Mercury on the cusps, on this case the primary and fourth homes, with Gemini and Virgo, each dominated by Mercury, on the cusps. These homes are highlighted whereas Pluto is sextile Mercury, which guidelines these indicators. And that may typically take a full yr. So with only one Pluto facet to the beginning chart, we’ve the seventh home, fifth, 1st, and 4th homes being influenced. And that’s simply Pluto’s facet to a single planet within the beginning chart.
If we rely the Ascendant, Midheaven, and North Node, there will probably be 13 in whole. And they’re going to have an effect on the homes which have the Solar, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, or Saturn in the home, or as its planetary ruler. And as I mentioned, relying on the signal Pluto is in, as a result of it does transfer a bit extra rapidly in some indicators than in others, every of those features can final a yr or extra.
You possibly can observe Pluto’s path by simply trying on the order your planets and angles fall in, from 0 to 29, to get a way of the sorts of features that it has made alongside the best way and what you may have realized on that journey. That fills up Pluto and Capricorn’s years very properly.
So, for those who’re trying again over these years and considering how a lot you and your life have modified, it’s no marvel, is it? And it’s not simply in that home that Pluto has been transferring via, however all the different outreach of Pluto to the opposite planets, connecting with the opposite homes, finally, brings that lesson of transformation again to the home Pluto has been in and that’s the place the best transformation is occurring.
My nameless buddy, I hope that that has given you some meals for thought and that you’re savoring all that you just’ve realized and the way a lot you’ve grown throughout these Pluto in Capricorn years. And that you just’re trying ahead to what Pluto in Aquarius will train you.
