Ruling Planet
Your ruling planet is Saturn, the planet linked to discipline, commitment and responsibility. Saturn is the planet of long-term planning, strategy and focus. If you’re a typical Capricorn, you’ll be content when you have a mountain to climb – literal or metaphorical. You’re one of the earth signs and excellent at putting one foot in front of the other to reach your chosen goal.
You don’t tend to rush through life but prefer a slower pace. Therefore, the next two months may work in your favour as action planet Mars is now retrograde, i.e. on go slow in Gemini and your work and health sector.
As long as your working life remains steady, it’s an indication to take your foot off the accelerator and aim to shift gear. It’s an ideal time to rework your ideas and plans ready to launch into action once again mid-January 2023.
Lunar Eclipse
As November begins, talk planet Mercury, the planet of relating Venus and the Sun are all in Scorpio. Plus, this is eclipse season and there’s a powerful Full Moon or Lunar Eclipse in Taurus on the 8th. This is the second of two eclipses as there was a New Moon or Solar Eclipse in Scorpio on October 25th.
These eclipses are cutting across the Taurus/Scorpio axis of the zodiac and are part of the eclipse cycle that will continue until October 2023.
These are the social sectors of your horoscope, linked to friends and group activities, society & world events, also children, creativity & lovers. These are the potential areas of accelerated growth, where change may happen and fast.
The Lunar Eclipse on the 8th could coincide with a social event or big occasion. Eclipses have a theme of bringing what’s hidden to light. Yet during the eclipse, the Moon sits close to Uranus in Taurus and this adds an impulsive edge to the Full Moon energy.
Other people’s behaviour could shock you. Or, perhaps you realise you have to prioritise a child or lover in your life. Do what feels right for you without breaking the law or too many rules.
You might be the one behaving impulsively. Or, perhaps other people are out to shock you. Someone may make an independent move and embrace freedom rather than the group dynamic.
Try not to get overly involved in any dramas during the eclipse period from the 5th to the 11th. At the same time, ensure that you and the ones you love remain safe and secure. It’s not a good time to take foolish risks however incensed you may be. Things could get heated and possibly controversial.
Plus, during the eclipse your ruling planet Saturn in Aquarius squares both the Sun & the Moon. You may need to be bold and confront other people or give tough love. There might be a financial or emotional issue that impacts your friendships or group ventures.
As Saturn can represent restriction or limitation, a lack of money could stop you doing what you want You could have a major fall-out with someone close over money. Or, feel outraged about what’s happening within society. It might be personal or linked to the collective.
This eclipse is triggering the Saturn-Uranus square that was the major planetary aspect of 2021. Since the middle of this year 2022, these two planets have been in conflict once again. Saturn represents rules & regulations, while Uranus is about freedom & liberation. It can be a classic clash of the old v. the new.
Consider what this might mean for you and what you’re ready to let go of at this powerful Lunar Eclipse. Saturn & Uranus are now separating and won’t be recreating their square aspect for some time.
Jupiter Joy
Friends & alliances could prove their worth from mid-month onwards. There are some lovely planetary aspects involving lucky Jupiter on the 15th, 16th & 21st. These would be good dates to get together with friends you love or organise a social event.
Jupiter moved back into water sign Pisces at the end of October and is completing its journey here over the next two months. It’s already been in Pisces from May to July 2021 and the first half of 2022.
Jupiter in Pisces breathes life and vitality into your communication sector. Pisces represents all forms of communication – talking, gathering and sharing ideas and information, making new friends and learning new skills.
You might decide to go back to school or gain new qualifications. You could embark on a new role as a voice-over artist or blogger or journalist. While Jupiter’s in Pisces, use your voice to the best of your ability.
This is a compassionate placing for Jupiter and Pisces represents siblings and neighbours in your horoscope, also your local community.
If you’re craving new connections, reach out to other people and ensure you have a good support network around you. Alternatively, you might be the one stepping into a caring or mentoring role.
Sagittarius Season
On the 22nd, the Sun changes star sign and enters Sagittarius and the most hidden sector of your horoscope. The Sun joins Venus and Mercury here – both planets shift star sign on the 16th & 17th respectively.
This could be your cue to take a step back from a social situation that’s wearing you out. If you’ve been too involved with other people or burning the candle at both ends, slow things down and line up some quiet time, some peace and solitude.
There’s a New Moon in Sagittarius on the 23rd, the same day that big planet Jupiter turns direct. This combination could see you heading off on retreat. Or, perhaps you’re ready to pause the go button of life and slow things down. It’s a similar theme to Mars in retrograde motion. Aim to do less not more.
