Put your money to work. Relationships can become more serious when Venus is in Capricorn. [3:35] Mercury squares Saturn (Nov. 12, 5:22 am PST) at 12°42’ Sagittarius-Pisces. Life isn't always fun, there's always work to be done, and there are difficult topics that sometimes have to be handled. [5:16] Saturn stations direct (Nov. 15, 6:21 am PST) at 12°41’ Pisces. It's been retrograde since June 29, 2024. Reality-based fears, depression and maturity are all part of the Saturn archetype. [8:03] Moon Report! The Taurus Full Moon (Nov. 15, 1:28 pm PST) is at exactly 24°00’ Taurus, in a conjunction with Uranus. The Sabian symbol of the Moon is 24 Taurus, A mounted Indian with scalp locks. The symbol for the Sun at 24 Scorpio is, Crowds coming down the mountain to listen to one man. Sabian symbol expert, Lynda Hill said, when you have a Sabian symbol, look at the symbols that square it and oppose it (24 Leo, An untidy, unkempt man, and 24 Aquarius, A man turning his back on passion, teaching from experience.) Enjoy a view of the beautiful Full Moon. Consider making a batch of Moon Water. [11:14] This is the Full Moon in a lunar phase family cycle that began with a New Moon on May 19, 2023, at 28°25’ Taurus.

It's VOC for only 9 minutes, and then enters Taurus (10:59 pm PST). Work out that angst, roll out your yoga mat, or better yet, Nama'stay In Bed! [15:09] On Nov. 15 (11:03 pm PST), the Moon in Taurus trines Pluto. It's VOC for 6 minutes, then enters Gemini (11:09 pm PST). So much in life is out of our control, but we can learn to control our own thoughts and feelings. [16:08] Venus squares the North Node (Nov. 16, 3:03 am PST) at 5°35’ Capricorn-Aries. When a planet is square the nodal axis, it’s said to be at the “bendings” of the nodes. [18:46] The Sun opposes Uranus (Nov. 16, 6:45 pm PST) at 25°14’ Scorpio-Taurus.
