Starscope: November / December 2004

For all signs: The energy of this time period tends to be intense. Most of November is during the sign of Scorpio, moving into Sagittarius around the 21st of November. For all people this is a time of change and transformation, the end of one thing and beginning the next stage.

The task for November is to become comfortable with the idea of an apparent ending and see change as a natural progression toward your next phase of life. December can be an expansive time period but also one of trying too hard to go along with what you think others might expect of you. The task for December is to practice rational goal setting and moderation now, instead of waiting until January.

Personal Sun and Ascendant Messages:

For individual signs: (See birth date period in parenthesis)

^Aries (March 21 - April 20) Challenges for Aries during this time will involve merging ideas and effort into projects that require the use of the pronouns "We" and "Our". Expansion comes though letting go of personal control and working in cooperation.

_Taurus (April 21 - May 20) This is a time to listen carefully to others for possible new direction. To be comfortable, be sure to let others know that change for you must come in small steps, don't expect too much at once.

`Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Although you are known to adapt easily, this can still be a stressful time period, affecting your fragile nervous system. Make time to go within, meditate, and don't take on too much in your desire to please others.

aCancer  (June 22 - July 22)  This can be a favorite time of year or most depressing, depending on the quality and quantity of family interaction available. Be careful not to overdo eating and spending during this time . It would be a good time to gift away some of the sentimental items that could be creating personal clutter, but would have more meaning to others than something new.

bLeo (July 23 - August 22) It is difficult for Leo to give up the often unconscious influence of their family and ancestry. This year it would be helpful to look for attitudes and traditions that cause you personal stress. Use the transformation energy of November to let go of this hold, one small step at a time. Your goal should be personal empowerment which requires wisdom, understanding, and love for all involved in this release process.

cVirgo (August 23 - September 22) Your communication style will be very apparent to others and should become so for you during this time period. You cannot change others, only yourself. Others may choose to follow your example, if it has merit.

dLibra (September 23 - October 23) This is a time period for you to examine what you truly value in life and spend more energy moving toward those goals. When focused, you may be surprised to discover help, encouragement, and opportunities, not previously expected.

eScorpio (October 24 - November 22) This is a time period to discover who you really are in both a physical and spiritual sense. You will have opportunities to learn though observing your reactions to what is being said and done by others around you. Practice being an observer, then choose what, if anything, in your environment, fits what you want as a role model. You may find a need to change who you associate with the most.

fSagittarius (November 23 - December 21) If you did your inner journey work the last two months, you had opportunity to sift through attitudes that serve and those that create discord. This is now the time to make conscious effort to move forward with the wheat and let go of what has caused you and others pain or needless effort. Practice speaking of only the positive solutions, rather than empowering the negative by dwelling on it in your thoughts and words.

gCapricorn (December 22 - January 20) Your goal for this time is to listen carefully to what is being said by others, before deciding if you will choose to accept or promote their ideas. Think of times in your life when you may have inadvertently assisted those with hidden agendas which then caused pain to you and others. Develop your own plan to sift out this potential and embrace that which seeks love and win-win for all.

hAquarius  (January 21 - February 18) Questions regarding your career and your life purpose may arise during November. Changes are occurring rapidly for all at this time. What may have seemed important to you, even last year, may now need revision. Be introspective, read, observe, then be open to new ideas that may show up in December.

iPisces  (February 19 - March 20) November will be a good time to anchor, to physically begin creation of ideas that have been living only in your head. In December you may find some challenges that may be overcome through accepting help and working with others.
