NOVEMBER 2006 by Bob Mulligan

Fire, Air, Earth, and Water are the four hermetic elements which represent four different approaches to life. Each sign of the Zodiac belongs to one of these elements. Earth is the element of manifestation. From the 30th of September 2006 until the 11th of December 2006, there are no planets in earth signs. This does not, of course, mean that nothing will manifest on the earth plane. However, it does mean that the real activity will be in the mental and emotional arena. This is a planning time. November is a very important month; bringing all our fixed, frozen emotional energy to a place of forced movement. We are all placed, by the logic of our own actions, in circumstances where we must shift or get off the planet. Much is happening for the whole evolving universe on the inner planes of consciousness right now; it is not possible to solve our own personal problems in complete isolation from the collective. We are involved with each other; period.

There are several important happenings during the month of November this year: Mercury, Retrograde at the beginning of the month, goes direct on the 17th; Uranus turns direct on the 19th; Venus and Jupiter (the two benefics) leave Scorpio and enter Sagittarius. This is a mentally charged month; with tremendous effort and smoldering intensity a diamond is created out of a lump of coal.

The big event of the month happens on November 8th with the interior conjunction of Mercury to the Sun. This happens three times a year but this conjunction is special because Mercury is Parallel the Sun at the time. This is like an Eclipse, as Mercury is passing across the face of the Sun. Mercury (Planet of the mind, communication, and transportation) is diving into the Sun and getting recharged. This starts and ends a mental cycle of cycles. Your thoughts are quite potent; keep aware of this fact as you frame your ideas and communications. This will not occur again until 2039.

The Full Moon is on Sunday the 5th at 7:59AM EST. Eight of the ten planets are in fixed signs; these are the signs that collect and maintain energy. As a consequence of many outer planets being in fixed signs for a year, we have much stagnant energy gathering; right now, things are coming to a head. Spiritual breakthroughs are possible by giving one self over to something larger, something greater than our personal lives; but this requires genuine commitment to higher more permanent values.

The New Moon on the 20th at 5:19 PM EST brings us to a real new beginning, as both Sun and Moon are Conjunct Jupiter which is on the last degree of Scorpio. The message is renounce and enjoy. Letting go of the past and embracing the spirit of love and forgiveness is the ticket to getting your life to move forward now.

From the 1st to the 5th secrets and behind the scene deals can leave us with scattered energy and somewhat confused. This is a time of release; do yourself a favor by putting your needs in context and letting go of the past. Fear can stop you from acting out of your highest intentions. Out of the plethora of immediate tasks, choose just a few priorities and work diligently on them this week and these things will bear abundant fruit.

The 6th to the 12th is a great time for introspection; if pride does not get in the way, your mind will cut to the core of your difficulties like a laser beam. Much needs to be done around you but leave time for planning.

From the 13th to the 19th we shift our thinking and a more fun- loving spirit emerges as we move into a time of hope and promise. With correct emotional balance we are able to put many pieces of our thinking together quickly. Insight after insight can alter our life situation as doors open and new opportunity emerges.

From 20th to the 26th we have a profound experience of people coming forward as hidden mysteries and secrets reveal themselves. Self disclosure is liberating, but telling on others is tacky, rude, and trouble provoking. Stay light hearted but not light headed and avoid judgment.

From the 27th to the 30th two powerful forces exert pressure on us for our time; the ordinary obligations of our everyday lives, which seem more pressing, and the extraordinary and unique events presenting us with once in a lifetime opportunities. Unexpected luck may seem like a problem rather than an opportunity if our schedule is too tightly packed. Allow time to explore new people and unusual happenings. Still, there are things that must be planned and great results are still the byproduct of careful attention to detail.

1st, Wednesday, Venus Semi-square Pluto, Sun Contra-parallel Saturn, Mercury Square Saturn, Venus Trines Uranus. We begin emotional projects and end mental projects. The heart leads us in a new direction. Inspiration is everywhere; give wings to your feelings.

2nd, Thursday, Venus Contra-parallel Saturn, Sun Semi-square Pluto. We have so much energy; it is best used for self correction. Take care of obligations first, then be gentle with yourself.

3rd, Friday, Sun Trine Uranus. Rapid progress emerges through following our best intuitions. Freedom is a state of mind and an attitude toward life; do not be fooled by circumstances. You are bigger than the spot you are in at the moment and today can remind you of this simple fact.

4th, Saturday. Relax, it is a lazy day. Spend your time in quiet pursuits. Meditation is clarification and recreation on a higher plane of consciousness.

5th, Sunday, Sun Parallel Venus, the Full Moon, Venus Parallel Neptune. Stubborn circumstances bring us a chance to reevaluate and alter our fundamental approach to life. This is a day of accommodating our basic needs. Love is the answer to all questions. Explore creative outlets and you will find parts of yourself that you have been disconnected from.

6th, Monday, Sun Parallel Neptune, Mercury Parallel Jupiter, Mars Contra-parallel Saturn, Venus Square Neptune, Venus Parallel Pluto. Emotional confusion and intensity of purpose colors this day. Focus on positive values; you will find your highest ideals manifesting in everyday occurrences.

7th, Tuesday, Mars Semi-square Pluto, Sun Parallel Pluto, Mercury Conjunct Venus. Contain negative feelings and you will find just the appropriate words to transform primary circumstances in your life. Diplomacy is necessary but so is action.

8th, Wednesday, Mercury Parallel Venus, Sun Conjunct then Parallel Mercury. Reorient your thoughts toward something higher and your efforts will be rewarded. Even when others are difficult, you can find common ground if you honestly look for it.

9th, Thursday, Mercury Parallel Pluto, Sun Square Neptune, Mercury Parallel Neptune. A quivering intensity can keep everyone on edge; but, be cautious; getting to the bottom of things changes our attitude toward important people in our lives.

10th, Friday, Mercury Parallel Mars. Be sure that something worthwhile has your attention. Raw assertion is a good thing at times but make sure that you have your feelings correctly channeled.

11th, Saturday, Mercury Conjunct Mars. Our powerful feelings are the result of real commitment to some captivating aspect of our inner nature; the way to success is to be conscious of what drives our nature.

12th, Sunday, Mercury Contra-parallel Saturn, Venus Square Saturn. Fear limits joy. Loss occurs because we act when sitting still should be our natural response to circumstances. Be patient.

13th, Monday, Mars Parallel Neptune, Venus Semi-sextile Pluto, Mercury Trine Uranus. Events bring us to change quickly. Everyone seems to be inspired by some ideal; put the best intuitions of your heart into action.

14th, Tuesday, Venus Parallel Jupiter, Mercury Semi-square Pluto. Feeling good we take chances and enjoy pleasures of life. Eliminate the things you have outgrown and you will enjoy the things that remain all the more.

15th, Wednesday, Mars Parallel Pluto, Venus Conjunct Jupiter. The urge to bring things to a conclusion is very powerful. Our appetite can be insatiable. We do ourselves a big favor by carefully selecting our object of desire.

16th, Thursday. We are pensive as we are aiming toward clarification. Balance comes with determination and commitment to honesty.

17th, Friday, Sun Square Saturn, Venus enters Sagittarius, Mars Square Neptune, Sun Semi-sextile Pluto, Mercury turns Direct, Sun Parallel Jupiter. Our inner conflicts can be resolved as we become determined to live more from our true values so as to honor our higher perspective on life. We are called upon to relinquish our baser desires and to release our lower selves.

18th, Saturday, Learning to give more and ask less frees us from having unrealistic expectations of others. We progress by helping anyone that we can.

19th, Sunday, Uranus turns Direct. Inspiration dawns in our very fertile imaginations when we make time to just dream. There is an air of expectance behind a rather low key surface appearance in life.

20th, Monday, New Moon at 5:19PM EST. You will have a lot of whatever you are concentrating on. Give time and attention to the things that matter most and be aware that things transitory will not supply satisfaction. What you contribute to the world and to the world of others bring lasting enjoyment.

21st, Tuesday, Sun Conjunct Jupiter. Luck and lasting satisfaction can be yours if you know how to spend your time. What you breathe life into now will come to fruition very soon.

22nd, Wednesday, Mercury Semi-square Pluto, Sun enters Sagittarius, Mercury Trine Uranus. Focus your mind on your most long range goals now; you will create your own inspiration. Take time to write down your current thoughts and you will see an evolution of your ideas.

23rd, Thursday, Jupiter enters Sagittarius. Our energy lights us and things that we have been worrying about evaporate. A sense of humor gives our lives a lift.

24th, Friday. We all want to see results for our efforts today. Some things manifest quickly but we have obligations that can require repetitive actions that seem to bear little fruit; we are making progress despite the absence of objective verification.

25th, Saturday, Venus Square Uranus. A much bigger picture of life can cause us to take flights of fancy. The desire to be free moves us into new behaviors.

26th, Sunday. Have fun; we easily soar into new arenas. A little escape from it all can be a good use of the current energies.

27th, Monday, Mercury Contra-parallel Saturn. Lots of effort seems to be necessary to get anything to happen now. Stay focused but do not be in a hurry. Help can emerge from the most unlikely sources.

28th, Tuesday, Mercury Square Neptune, Mars Square Saturn. Great insight can emerge but be careful; slow, careful, deliberate action helps you understand current circumstances.

29th, Wednesday. Be careful; avoid overreacting in haste or anger; be willing to wait until the feeling of joy strikes you, this will be the time to act.

30th, Thursday, Mars Semi-sextile Pluto, Mercury Parallel Neptune, Venus Sextile Neptune. Our struggle is to have our prodigious enthusiasm pour into something worthwhile. Avoid trying to correct other people's behavior and you will be happier.
