November/December 2010 Astrology Forecast
A Turning Point in November and December

by Emily Trinkaus

An intense period of behind-the-scenes growth and healing is coming to completion, and a new vision for your future is emerging. A total of six planets appear to change directions in November and December, marking a major turning point.

The energy is building toward a dramatic lunar eclipse on Dec. 21, coinciding with the winter solstice. This is a magical time to free your mind from limiting beliefs and open up to a broader perception of what's possible. Imagine the highest vision for humanity, and commit to demonstrating that vision through practical action.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Your mind may awaken to many brilliant ideas, but you're being tested to focus your energy so you can be more effective. Both flexibility and perseverance are called for. Look within to access an expansive vision of what you want to create, while staying open to new information and opinions. You may become aware of needing more education or training in order to reach your goals.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Your values are changing, and your ideas about what you need to feel secure. Take the risk of living your unique vision, and let go of the need for other people's approval. You may be ready to make a change in how you're earning money and utilizing your talents. Be willing to release what's familiar to make space for new opportunities. Destroy old self-limiting beliefs by having the courage to pursue your passions.

Gemini (May 21 - June 21)

December's lunar eclipse is in Gemini, signaling the completion of a major personal project or life direction. Your understanding of who you are is expanding, and your goals may be up in the air while your new identity is a work-in-progress. Resist the temptation to rush the process. Be willing to hang out in the mystery of not knowing rather than jumping into a new path before you're ready.

Cancer (June 22 - July 22)

Your psychic channels open to multiple streams of awareness that can blast you into higher consciousness or provoke an anxiety attack. The key is having daily practices in place that keep you grounded in present time. Watch out for a tendency to get pulled into the past, or get stuck in old emotional attachments. Seek out support for staying focused on your goals and taking practical steps forward.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

A long-held dream is coming to fruition, and now your vision for the future is changing. You may be ready to serve at a higher level, by sharing your passions and doing work that feels more meaningful to you. Get clear about the work that truly excites you, and what's become stagnant. Shifts in your social network are likely, as your path opens up in new directions.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

As you complete a major work project, you're ready to make a shift in your professional life. Many possible options may be presented — resist the temptation to say yes too quickly or to over extend yourself. Get clear about what really makes you happy and excites your passion. Creative power is stirring, and success won't be satisfying unless you're expressing yourself authentically and living your truth.

Libra (September 23 - October 23)

Getting a higher perspective on your life renews your inspiration for following your bliss. Take a time-out from the busy demands of the daily grind to reconnect with your inner wisdom. You may get a new view on what makes you feel safe and secure. Consider that acting on your passions may build a stronger inner foundation than playing it safe and conforming to conventional expectations.

 

 

Scorpio (October 24 - November 22)

Your two ruling planets, Mars and Pluto, unite around the time of the lunar eclipse, amping up your passion, power and ambition to succeed. But your moves forward may be blocked by mysterious forces, testing your patience. Slow down and strategize rather than trying to push your way through. You may need to pare down commitments and streamline your focus before you can make your move.

Sagittarius (November 23 - December 21)

The Sagittarius new moon on Dec. 5 is a powerful time to launch a new life direction. Commit to your personal vision and plant seeds that will unfold over the coming year. A major turning point in relationships comes a few weeks later at the lunar eclipse. Old ideas about partnership, or about a significant other, are ready to be transformed. Rewrite your story of what's possible.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 20)

Multiple distractions compete to throw you off course from pursuing your goals. Your challenge is to go with the flow of unexpected changes in your routines, while continuing to take determined action on your desires. Strike a balance between persistence and adaptability. Assert your will, but resist the temptation to be overly controlling.

Aquarius (January 21 - February 19)

Opportunities for fun and pleasure abound as the year comes to a close. But what makes you happy may be changing. Get in touch with your heart's desires and passions, and let go of what no longer feels fulfilling. Self-expression also comes into the spotlight, and you may be ready to bring a major creative project out into the public. Celebrate your success.

Pisces (February 20 - March 20)

Your foundation could feel temporarily unstable as you become aware of unexpected needs and let go of past attachments. Get curious about what makes you feel secure, and launch an investigation into your inner world. Over the next year, changes in your home life will ultimately lead to a stronger base of support. Communicating your feelings, even if they seem confusing or scattered, is key to moving forward.
