Happy November!
Happy Birthday, Scorpio!
November 1, Dios de los Muertos/All Saints Day
 
Saturn's journey through Pisces is straightforward. Once ensconsed in the Universal Spiritual ocean of Pisces (March 7, 2023), he'll retrograde in the sign on June 27 then return to direct motion in Pisces on February 7, 2024. Pluto's journey is (not surprisingly!) more complicated. The underworld guy enters Aquarius on March 23, turns retrograde on May 1, dips back into Capricorn where he'll turn direct, and not re-enter Aquarius until February 1, 2024. He will revisit by degrees his final conjunction to the USA's natal Pluto thus finishing up old business in the sign of authority and karma, then return to 0 Aquarius on March 25, 2024 where he'll stay for 20 years. Check Starcats' Planet Motions & (marquee scroll above) for all planetary retrogrades.

Open your mind to give / receive spiritual, emotional, physical and mental knowledge; the gifts given by the great healer, ASCLEPIUS and his daughter HYGEIA. The big picture still remains out of our control, but Higher Forces intervene for our good when least expected.

"Let go of what has passed.
Let go of what may come.
Let go of what is happening now.
Don't try to figure anything out.
Don't try to make anything happen.
Relax, right now, and rest."
---Tilopa
TIMING is everything.
All things change. Change is our only constant.

"I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather....In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated, and a person is humanized or is dehumanized." -- Goethe
The way ahead is lit by our trust in inner visions.
"How can I be substantial if I fail to cast a Shadow? One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. C.G. Jung

Conscious living doesn't grant us immunity from troubles, but we are able to transform our stumbling stones into stepping stones.

Be prepared. That's what the truth and astrology do for us. We gain the edge by seeing things exactly as they are. Not by how we wish they would be. -- Starcats
The best investment you can make right now is the one you make in YOU. All change happens on the inside first as an intention, then as a purging of old, useless and outdated parts of self that leads us to a realignment with our Authentic Self. At that stage, we are then ready to SPEAK OUR WORD and let loose the energy that will manifest our future goals and dreams. Let astrology help!
Timing is Everything! Be sure you're connected to yours!
