November 2009 Planetary Happenings!
Happy Birthday SCORPIO and SAGITTARIUS Natives!!
Virgos Rejoice!! You have worked hard, learned some very important lessons and now, since Saturn is now settling into Libra, you have a lot to look forward to. In fact, as ALL of us have a lot to look forward to this month as we begin to feel some mild rumblings of transformation. Some of us will feel this as stress and others of us will feel it as reward for lessons learned over the past 2 ½ years. Whatever your situation, you’d be wise to make practical moves and decisions. Don’t take any risks or accept new obligations, even if they seem safe. There’s an underlying sense of confusion and a feeling of difficulty in seeing exactly how the course ahead is going to unfold. This confusion is actually a prelude to a higher order. We will be able to gain new insights that reveal how our old ways of dealing with things aren’t working. This will give us a chance to begin expressing our energies in ways that will allow us to progress during difficult times.
Mars has moved into Leo where it will get a chance to play with some fixed fire. It will be there until June 6, 2010. Mars moves through all twelve constellations in approximately two years, staying in one sign an average of 1 ½ months. What is unusual about this placement is that Mars is going to be in Leo almost eight months. Mars in Leo makes a vibrant impression, with a strong physical presence. So whichever part of your chart it is moving through will be buzzing. Mars is retrograde from Dec 20, 2009 - March 09, 2010, which brings in a whole other dimension.
Mars is about energy, fizz and crackle. Mars transiting through Leo it gives us all an opportunity to get out the paints, clay, musical instruments, crayons, materials and anything else that is essential to our being able to connect with our inner artist. Fixed fire creates great warmth and supplies plenty of energy. So when Mars is in Leo it really helps to channel some of this fire into creative endeavours as a way of expressing ourselves and sharing our life force with the world. It is time to co-create with your inner child and learn how to play. How you fare really depends on where you are coming from. Leo is associated with the Higher Self and also with our current appreciation of who we are. If we are in the zone, then activities such as creating art, falling in love, starting a business, being with our children, entertaining and being entertained and above all having fun go smoothly. Overall, this placement is going to bring everyone a chance to find their courage, overcome their fears and make fabulous progress. Mars stirs up the area of the chart it is moving through, so wherever it is, you will begin to feel invincible. Go for it, step out of your comfort zone and enjoy!
