Multiple Days

Triple Conjunction & Cradle

Something’s happening in November that’s too complex and far-ranging to be pinned down to a single day. So, I’m going to interpret it here as we start this forecast.

For starters, we have a Triple Conjunction of the Sun, Mars and Ceres. It lasts more than a month, and all three planets change signs before it’s done. Not only that, these three planets form Cradle aspect patterns with Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto!

Let me break this down piece by piece so it’s easy to understand.

The Triple Conjunction

The Sun, Mars, and Ceres form a Triple Conjunction for more than a month. It starts on 11/3, peaks on 11/20, and ends on 12/7.

In any aspect pattern, the planet with the most specific meaning usually becomes the focal point. In this case it’s Ceres. Since she’s the grain goddess, she represents harvest and abundance. And both the Sun and Mars boost her with their light and vitality. So far, so good!

But Ceres, a/k/a Demeter, also has a more challenging side. In a well-known myth, Pluto abducts Ceres’ beloved daughter Persephone down to his underworld home to be her queen.

Because of this shocking loss, Ceres mourns inconsolably. She’s so lost in sorrow that she neglects her duties as the grain goddess. This creates a serious problem, because nothing on Earth can grow without her support. All life is threatened.

Fortunately, the gods and goddesses are able to work out a solution. Ceres gets Persephone back for half the year, creating spring and summer. But Persephone must return to Pluto in the underworld for the other six months, creating fall and winter.

Because of this, Ceres also represents trauma healing. During this Triple Conjunction, you might experience something that triggers an old psychological wound.

Healing old emotional wounds is called “shadow work.” Most people haven’t yet learned how to do this effectively. So, when old traumas get triggered, they might numb or distract themselves. In my experience, even people who are doing shadow work the best they know how aren’t using methods that result in a complete and final healing.

So, if you get triggered during this Triple Conjunction, you might want to try my free Healing Invocation. It delegates the healing to your higher self, which can do it far more quickly and effectively than any human working without divine assistance. All you have to do is say seven words, then passively witness your higher self work its healing magic.

I know this sounds too good to be true. But I’ve facilitated this technique with thousands of people for over 12 years, and it works just about every time. So I encourage you to suspend your disbelief and give it a try!

Signs

The Sun, Mars, and Ceres are all in Scorpio as their Triple Conjunction starts on 11/3. And they’re still in Scorpio as this aspect pattern peaks on 11/20.

Scorpio rules psychology and personal transformation, so this placement further empowers the shadow work energies I just described. Scorpio also rules wealth and power, so this sign placement also boosts this Triple Conjunction’s abundance potentials!

These three planets shift into Sagittarius over four days. The Sun makes its move on 11/22, Mars on 11/24, and Ceres on 11/25.

Sagittarius rules expansion, hope, and joy. If you’re focusing on the Ceres themes, enhanced abundance can be easier to initiate or manifest. If you’re doing shadow work, you can accomplish it more easily.

You can enjoy similar empowerment if you focus on the fundamental themes of Mars: acting as a warrior, pioneer, entrepreneur, or sexual being.

The Cradle

Now, at last, we’re ready to add in the Cradle I mentioned earlier. At the most basic level, this harmonious aspect pattern supercharges the Sun, Mars, and Ceres with the divine power of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto!

Pluto has the same meanings as Scorpio. So it’s supporting your shadow work and boosting your ability to gain wealth and power.

Neptune rules spiritual awakening, making it easier for you to maintain embodied awakening as you do all this. This will make everything you do much easier, and ensure that you receive more divine inspiration to guide you.

Uranus can help you do all this in a way that’s authentic to your true self. He can also pop down intuitive hits to light your way.

Timing

The Cradle with all six planets starts on 11/12, peaks on 11/15, and ends on 11/22.

Finally, in case you’re interested, here are the timings of the Cradles for the Triple Conjunction’s individual members:

• The Ceres-Uranus-Neptune-Pluto Cradle starts on 11/1, peaks on 11/12, ends on 11/26.
• The Mars-Uranus-Neptune-Pluto Cradle starts on 11/9, peaks on 11/16, ends on 11/24.
• The Sun-Uranus-Neptune-Pluto Cradle starts on 11/12, peaks on 11/16, ends on 11/22.

To keep things simple, I won’t mention the starting or peak dates of these four-planet Cradles again. I’ll just note the beginning and peak of the six-planet Cradle on 11/12 and 11/15.

I’ve spent so much time on this Triple Conjunction, and the Cradle it’s part of, because it offers tremendous opportunities – especially for abundance and shadow work. I sincerely hope you take advantage of them!

11/3 (Fri)

Triple Conjunction Begins

A powerful Triple Conjunction of the Sun, Mars, and Ceres begins today (11/3), peaks on 11/20, and ends on 12/7. For a detailed interpretation, including the larger Cradle aspect pattern it will become part of, click here.

Venus Kite Peaks

Relationships, creativity, and finance are supported by a Kite that includes Venus and the three outer planets: Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. This harmonious aspect pattern started on 10/27, peaks today (11/3), and ends on 11/9.

With Venus in Virgo, you can scrutinize these areas in your life and take them to the next level. This placement is also good for relationship healing and serving others.

Pallas Athena Yod Peaks

A Yod featuring Pallas Athena started on 10/28, peaks today (11/3), and ends on 11/10. Pallas is at the tip of this narrow triangle, while Uranus and Neptune hold down the back end.

This “Finger of God” aspect pattern empowers your feminine assertiveness. It also makes it easier for you to engage in skillful strategy, negotiation, and mediation. Uranus and Neptune encourage you to follow your intuition and try unconventional approaches.

---

Venus Opposite Neptune

You can enjoy more inspired creativity as Venus opposes Neptune (25°10′ Virgo-Pisces). This aspect can also help you connect more deeply with the divinity inside you and in everything around you!

Venus’ placement in Virgo can also help you serve others with your divine gifts and fine-tune your creative projects.

---

11/4 (Sat)

Saturn Direct

Saturn turns direct at 3:03 am EDT (0°30′ Pisces). The Time Lord turned retrograde four and a half months ago on 6/17 (7°12′ Pisces).

This is a great time to enhance Saturn’s positive qualities in your life. Do you manage your time well? Are you acting maturely and responsibly? Can you “plan the work and work the plan”?

What about Saturn’s dark side? Are you working so hard that you’re neglecting your family or personal life? Is excessive ambition causing you to close your heart, or be cold and ruthless?

Saturn’s retrograde was entirely within Pisces, where he’ll remain through mid-2025. This placement can help you make better use of the Law of Attraction and deepen your embodied awakening. (My free Embodied Awakening Invocation can help you merge with your higher self quickly and easily.)

Saturn in Pisces also supports conscious dissolution, which can help you clear things from your life that have outlived their usefulness.

Saturn is one of my most helpful astrological allies. I encourage you to also develop a great relationship with this supremely helpful planet!

---

Mercury Opposite Uranus

Get ready for flashes of brilliance as Mercury (human mind) opposes Uranus (divine mind) (21°26′ Scorpio-Taurus). Intuitive hits come easier when these two planets connect. This is also a great time for learning, writing, and communication.

Mercury’s placement in Scorpio also empowers research, investigation, and detective work.

11/5 (Sun)

Jupiter Semi-Square Neptune

When can a minor hard aspect have a major upside? When it connects Jupiter and Neptune!

I’ll tell you its meaning in a moment. First let’s discuss the timing.

Today’s Jupiter-Neptune semi-square (10°8′ Taurus-25°8′ Pisces) has been in orb (close enough to be felt) since 6/27. Today (11/5) is their second exact semi-square, following their first on 7/22. The orb of this semi-square will last through 12/16.

After a short break, Jupiter and Neptune will come back into orb in 2024 on 1/3. They’ll make a final exact semi-square on 3/3 before completing this aspect on 3/29 – nine months after they first connected.

Jupiter Boosting Neptune

Jupiter amplifies whatever it touches. So you can use it to boost Neptune’s life-affirming qualities. These include deeper spiritual awakening, receiving more inspired creativity, operating in flow state more consistently, and enjoying more vivid and meaningful dreams.

Take care that Jupiter doesn’t amplify Neptune’s lower expressions. These include substance abuse, addiction, excessive escapism, aimless drifting, and “playing the victim.”

Neptune Influencing Jupiter

What if we think of Neptune influencing Jupiter? Neptune can add divine inspiration and flow state experiences in these areas:

• Higher education.
• Acting as a professor, philosopher, guru, or other wisdom-giver.
• Foreign travel and influences.
• Religion, philosophy, and the meaning of life.
• Quests and adventures
• Celebration, euphoria and enthusiasm!

Be careful not to put too many irons in the fire, or succumb to “street corner preacher syndrome.”

Let’s Add the Signs

You can benefit from even more life-affirming opportunities, thanks to these planets’ sign placements. Jupiter is in Taurus and Neptune is in Pisces. This auspicious mix of signs and planets can empower Law of Attraction manifestation. (Neptune and Pisces excel at visualizing, while Jupiter expands Taurus’ power to ground ideas into physical reality.)

These planets and signs also support embodied awakening. Neptune and Pisces support spiritual awakening, while Jupiter and Taurus want to amplify this euphoric consciousness and make it consistent in your everyday life. (My free Embodied Awakening Invocation has helped thousands do this with surprising ease and speed.)

11/11 (Sat)

Mars Opposite Uranus

A potent Mars-Uranus opposition (21°8′ Scorpio-Taurus) should be used with great mindfulness!

On the challenging side, this aspect can be chaotic and destabilizing. Unstable leaders are more likely to do crazy things.

Mars’ warlike tendencies can strike violently and unexpectedly. Steer clear of dangerous people and situations as much as possible.

On the high side, this aspect can energize you to act immediately on your intuitive hits. You can take ingenious, inspired action as a warrior, pioneer, sexual being, or entrepreneur. And you can boldly show the world your truest self.

Finally, Mars is especially powerful in Scorpio, a sign that it rules. You can embrace Scorpio’s potentials by diving into personal transformation, including effective shadow work to heal old traumas once and for all. You can deepen your immersion into the occult arts, cultivate the soul-deep ecstasy of sacred sex, or take steps to increase your wealth or power.

11/12 (Sun)

Six-Planet Cradle Starts

A Cradle featuring the Sun, Mars, Ceres, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto begins today (11/12), peaks on 11/15, and ends on 11/23. For a detailed interpretation of this aspect pattern, click here.

Creative Writing “Finger of God”

Creative writing gets a special boost from a “Finger of God” featuring Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter. This aspect pattern, also called a Yod, starts today 11/12, peaks on 11/16, and ends on 11/19.

Mercury represents writing, while Venus and her placement in Libra represent creativity. Jupiter amplifies the other two planets.

Getting your message out into the world is also supported, since Mercury is in Sagittarius and Jupiter is at the tip of the Yod. Both Sagittarius and Jupiter empower publication. Finally, you can use this aspect pattern to juice up harmonious one-on-one communication.

11/13 (Mon)

“Big Change Now!” New Moon in Scorpio

One of 2023’s most potent lunations lines up at 4:27 am EST (20°43′ Scorpio).

What do you get with a Scorpio New Moon tightly conjunct Mars, with all three tightly opposing mighty Uranus? Big change now!

Let’s start with the basics. Any Scorpio New Moon is great for new beginnings of any kind. But you can enjoy extra energy in these areas:

• Transformation, including emotional or shamanic death and rebirth processes. This is a great time for healing old traumas. (Thousands do this work with surprising ease and speed with my free Healing invocation.)

• Enhancing wealth and power. Wealth can be anything you value. Those walking the high road will want to use power in a way that benefits everyone.

• Sex, which can include soul-blended tantric or sacred eroticism.

• The occult, which can include the high-vibration practice of subtle arts such as astrology, tarot, and energy healing, as well as mediumship and psychic talents.

Aspects

Any Scorpio New Moon is powerful unto itself. But this one is dramatically more potent because of its aspects!

As I’ve already mentioned, this lunation’s biggest power-ups are its Mars conjunction and Uranus opposition.

Mars

Mars is tightly conjunct the luminaries, with an orb (exactness) of less than two degrees. Mars is also in Scorpio, one of two signs that it rules. This places it in dignity, a planet’s most powerful sign placement.

One of Mars’ planetary meanings is the same as a New Moon’s: new beginnings. This gives extra potency to your New Moon initiatives.

Since Mars’ planetary meanings also include being a warrior or entrepreneur, your effectiveness in these areas is also boosted. Mars also reinforces the Scorpio theme of sexuality.

Uranus

The opposition between Uranus and the luminaries is this New Moon’s tightest major aspect. Its orb is less than half a degree.

Uranus invites you to include these three themes in your New Moon aspirations:

1. Internally embrace whatever’s special about you, however radical it may be! Then share it with the world to help others to the greatest extent that serves highest good.

2. Follow your intuitive hits. These come direct from your higher self, which can see your ideal future path far better than your ego. You’ll never go wrong following these “gut feelings” that you “know in your bones.”

3. Serve others using your special talents you most love to use!

What happens when you combine the energy of Uranus with all this Scorpio energy? Big change now!

Scorpio energizes profound transformation, and Uranus can bring it about with the speed of a lightning strike. Even if it takes a bit longer, this New Moon is ideal for boldly stepping forward on your soul-aligned path. If you’ve been contemplating a big move – even a radical one – seriously consider if you should do it now.

Such great power can also be volatile or dangerous. Dark expressions of these energies could include violence, sexual abuse, or sudden explosions of rage. Steer clear of dangerous people and situations as much as you can.

Other Major Aspects

Ceres is part of a Quadruple Conjunction with Mars and the luminaries. Its conjunction to the Sun and Moon is fairly strong, with an orb of about four degrees.

You can focus on two themes that Ceres shares with Scorpio. One is healing old traumas. The other, since she’s the grain goddess associated with harvest and abundance, is enhanced abundance.

This New Moon’s other major aspect is a moderately strong Neptune trine. This smooth aspect can make it easier for you to deepen your spiritual awakening, receive inspired creativity, and operate “in the zone” more consistently. It’s also great for conscious dreaming and dream interpretation.

Minor Aspects

This New Moon also has two minor aspects. An extremely tight Venus semi-square can support your relationships, creativity, and finances. If challenge arises in any of these areas, look for creative solutions to improve the situation.

This New Moon’s final aspect is a Vesta sesquare. Are you selflessly supporting any worthy causes? If so, is it time to give them additional support, or perhaps get involved with a new one?

Sabian Symbol

This New Moon’s Sabian Symbol is, “Obeying his conscience, a soldier resists orders.”

This symbol is easy to interpret: it encourages you to follow your inner guidance when it conflicts with outer authority.

This symbol dovetails with this New Moon’s aspects to the two planets of inner guidance. Uranus sends occasional intuitive hits, while Neptune can provide a continuous flow of divine direction. Either planet can show you the best course of action.

The deeper your spiritual awakening becomes, the more easily you’ll receive an automatic flow of inner guidance. You’ll become less concerned about what others want you to do, and will comfortably step into your power as an authority unto yourself.

11/13 & 11/14 (Mon & Tue)

Four Vesta Aspects

Selfless service to a worthy cause is empowered by four Vesta aspects in two days. I wouldn’t have included any of these aspects on their own, but the sheer number of them got my attention!

Are you happy with the worthy causes you’re supporting? Are there any that need to be dropped or added? Is it time to adjust how you’re interacting with any of them?

These are good questions to ponder while these Vesta aspects are happening:

• Mars sesquare Vesta on 11/13 (22°7′-7°7′ Scorpio-Cancer).
• Sun sesquare Vesta on 11/14 (22°0′-7°0′ Scorpio-Cancer).
• Venus square Vesta on 11/14 (7°0′ Libra-Cancer).
• Mercury quincunx Vesta on 11/14 (6°59′ Sagittarius-Cancer).

11/15 (Wed)

Six-Planet Cradle Peaks

A Cradle featuring the Sun, Mars, Ceres, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto began on 11/12, peaks today (11/15), and ends on 11/23. For a detailed interpretation of this aspect pattern, click here.

Pluto Square Pallas Athena

You can empower your feminine assertiveness and strategic planning as Pluto squares Pallas Athena (28°11′ Capricorn-Libra). This aspect also empowers your potential as a win-win mediator or negotiator.
