I’ll present my annual astrology forecast lecture live on Zoom on Friday, November 18, 7 pm US Eastern Time (EST). “2023: The Year of Pluto” is presented by the Asheville Friends of Astrology (AFOA).

I’ll discuss Pluto’s momentous entry into Aquarius, his square to Jupiter and the lunar nodes, and the decade-defining Mini Grand Trine that “the Wealthy One” is forming with Uranus and Neptune. Will this harmonious aspect pattern help usher in a new era of love and light?

The US Pluto return is another 2023 highlight. I’ll dive into the potentials and perils of this four-year process, which is already transforming the country.

We also have important sign changes in 2023. Saturn enters Pisces, Jupiter moves into Taurus, and the lunar nodes shift into Aries and Libra. I’ll also discuss the coming year’s Jupiter-Chiron conjunction and an intense Mars-Jupiter-Pluto-Lunar Nodes Grand Cross.

Join us to learn about the coming year’s cosmic weather. Discover how you can partner with the planets to create the best possible life for you and those you love!

11/16 (Wed)

Learning, teaching, writing, and communicating are harmoniously supported by a Mercury-Jupiter trine (28°53′ Scorpio-Pisces).

11/19 (Sat)

You can more easily take action to realize your dreams with Mars square Neptune (22°42′ Gemini-Pisces). However, consider a reality check to make sure you’re not acting in a harmful way based on deluded beliefs. This hard aspect can also energize sacred sex and spirituality.

11/22 (Tue)

The Sun enters Sagittarius at 3:20 am EST. Sagittarian energies will be easier to work with for the next month. To learn more about them, see my 11/23 interpretation of the New Moon in Sagittarius.

11/23 (Wed)

This astrologically potent day includes a New Moon, Jupiter turning direct, and a peaking T-Square!

New Moon in Sagittarius

A New Moon lines up at 5:57 pm EST (1°37′ Sagittarius). Any Sagittarius New Moon is great for new beginnings in many life-affirming areas. You can dive more deeply into higher education, formal or self-guided, as a student. You can also bless others as a professor, philosopher, guru, or other wisdom-giver.

Sagittarius rules foreign travel. This could mean a physical excursion. But with today’s technologies, other countries and cultures can easily come to you! Anything foreign to you, even from within your own country or culture, could fall within this idea.

Do you crave a deeper understanding of life? Sagittarius rules religion, philosophy and life’s meaning.

Are you living life as a quest or adventure? Sagittarius would love it if you did. And are you experiencing enough celebration, euphoria and enthusiasm? These are Sagittarius’ most joyful expressions!

Endlessly expansive Sagittarius is the sign most likely to overdo things, so be careful not to put too many irons in the fire. Sagittarius can also believe it has the One True Way, even when it doesn’t, so don’t succumb to “street corner preacher syndrome.”

Aspects

This New Moon’s only tight aspect is a Vesta square. This invites you to examine the energy and resources you’re selflessly giving to higher causes.

The square is a hard aspect, so watch for signs of friction. Are you supporting the right causes? Are there challenges you need to work through, either inside yourself or between you and a cause you’re supporting? If all is well between you and your cause, this square can energize you to step up your enthusiasm or involvement.

The Sun and Moon also make loose conjunctions to Sagittarian Venus and Mercury. This can specifically support the expansion of your communication with others. It also supports creative writing, which is timely as we near the end of National Novel Writing Month.

More broadly, the Venus conjunction supports connecting with friends, expressing your creativity, and making money.

The Mercury conjunction can energize any kind of learning, writing, or communication. With Mercury in Sagittarius, publication is also supported. This could be written words, audio, video, or anything else that transmits your message.

Jupiter Direct

Talk about positive reinforcement: Jupiter turns direct exactly five minutes after the Sagittarius New Moon! (28°47′ Pisces, 6:02 pm EST.)

These two events complement each other because Jupiter carries the same astrological energy as Sagittarius. So all the keywords I just used to describe Sagittarius also apply to Jupiter. The Jovian giant turning direct makes it even easier for you to move ahead and positively partner with these archetypal energies!

Mars-Ceres-Neptune T-Square Peaks

The T-Square with Mars, Ceres, and Neptune that started on 11/5 peaks today (11/23) and ends on 12/6. This hard aspect pattern is especially helpful for shadow work and abundance!

Ceres holds the archetypal theme of shadow work, and is auspiciously situated in Virgo, the sign of healing. As the grain goddess, Ceres also represents harvest and abundance.

Mars can fire up both these themes, while his placement in Gemini can help you focus your thoughts either way. Neptune in Pisces can assist your visualization on these matters, and flow helpful divine energy your way!

11/25 (Fri)

Get the Word Out with this Grand Cross

Getting your message out – to one person or many – is empowered with a Grand Cross that starts today (11/25), peaks on 12/1, and ends on 12/4. It includes Mercury, Venus, Mars, Ceres, and Neptune.

The messaging juju is provided by Mars’ placement in Gemini and the presence of Mercury. The Sagittarian energy of broadcasting and publishing is juiced up by the presence of Mercury and Venus in the Sign of the Archer.

The initiating energy of Mars can help you get this rolling. Neptune can provide divine inspiration and the ability to work in flow state, while Ceres can help you harvest an abundant outcome!

If you’re in learning mode, this Grand Cross can also help you soak up new information. A secondary use of this Grand Cross: focus on the Venusian themes of relating, creating, and finance.

This Grand Cross adds Mercury and Venus to the pre-existing T-Square with Mars, Ceres, and Neptune. This T-Square continues to function independently with its original interpretation.

11/26 (Sat)

Sudden Abundance Energized By Hard Rectangle

“Sudden abundance” is one potent possibility of a month-long Hard Rectangle that starts today (11/26), peaks on 12/7 and ends on 12/26. It includes Ceres, Jupiter, Uranus, and the Lunar Nodes. Abundance is energized by expansive Jupiter in boundless Pisces. Suddenness? Uranus!

An abundance of what? With the Lunar Nodes in the mix, an abundance of whatever aligns you with your life purpose. This might be something obviously desirable, or some challenge you must master to take the next step in your personal evolution. Ceres could add prosperity into the mix, or could bring up a specific trauma that’s ripe for healing.

With Uranus conjunct the North Node “destiny point,” consider whether you’ve fully accepted what’s unique and different about you, and whether you’re sharing that with the larger world as appropriate. Uranus also invites you to trust your intuitive hits, and serve others using your special gifts and talents that you most love to use. The more you do all this, the more you’ll activate Jupiter’s propensity for luck and good fortune!

11/28 (Mon)

You can enjoy greater endurance with Mars trine Saturn (19°42′ Gemini-Aquarius). This applies across the board, but – with both planets in air signs – can help you even more in your mental pursuits. With this mix of planets and signs, be sure to balance planning and improvisation.
