This is a picture of Argus, a giant with 100 eyes. Hera used him to spy on Zeus. We are now using Argus to spy on the world. To figure out how to defeat the cameras and wire tapping and the prying into the affairs of others, we need to look at the myth of Argus and see how he was defeated. Hermes played music and put him to sleep. I have read of some young people in the Netherlands putting on plays and singing and dancing in front of the security cameras on the streets.

I don’t know about you, but I am getting tired of all the bad news . Now that Uranus square Pluto is halfway through it's cycle, I think that we are finished with the destruction and now it is time for rebuilding and the rebirth. Embedded in the Pluto archetype is rebirth and transformational healing and part of the Uranus archetype is reform. The question is --What part can we all play in the change these planets are bringing in?
The most remarkable feature of this historical moment on Earth is not that we are on the way to destroying the world — we've actually been on the way for quite a while. It is that we are beginning to wake up, as from a millennia-long sleep, to a whole new relationship to our world, to ourselves and each other. Joanna Macy http://www.joannamacy.net/
This month we have the Pluto/Uranus Square, an Eclipse in Scorpio and Mercury turning direct. Also Jupiter and Neptune changing direction. This makes for a topsy-turvy month. Hang on to your hats.
I have been getting frantic calls from my Scorpio clients all month. It seems that Scorpios more than any other sign hates Saturn hitting their Sun and other planets near their Sun. Why is that? I think Scorpio likes to feel that they are in control of their life and environment because they really are very powerful and they don’t like anyone messing with them. But the way Saturn works is that he creates problems because he wants to lower the ego so that the unconscious can speak through dreams, hunches and imaginings. Just let it happen Scorpio, you will be OK. The eclipse on the 3rd is at 11 Scorpio, shining a light on how Scorpios handle their intense passionate powerful selves and Mercury is in Scorpio going retrograde until Nov 10 and staying in Scorpio until Dec 24. This will give Scorpio an opportunity to slow down and think through their actions, motivations and goals.
Dates to Watch:
Nov 1 – Pluto Square Uranus. The 4th in a series of 7. This is the turn-around time. Hopefully, we will start recovering and rebuilding. Read my article entitled Crises and opportunity here to understand the Pluto/Uranus square.
Sun Conjunct Mercury at 9 Scorpio. This aspect helps us see clearly. It brings in the information that we need to make plans
Nov 3 – Solar Eclipse at 11 Scorpio at 7:50 AM. See my report on this eclipse here.
Nov 5 – Venus enters Capricorn until December 21st. I love Venus in Capricorn. Here Aphrodite goes after the old rich guys, she wants pearls and oriental rugs and antiques. Not very sexy, but practical.
Nov 6 – Sun conjunct Saturn at 14 degrees of Scorpio. This is a good time to get clear about your responsibilities. Are you taking on too much or avoiding your duties altogether especially as it regards older parents.
Nov 7 – Jupiter goes retrograde until March 6, 2014 Jupiter is stationing today at 20 degrees of Cancer and slowing down to turn retrograde. If you have any planets at 20 degrees of Cancer or Capricorn, you may have a few days of good fortune.
Nov 9 – Mercury Trine Neptune. Important correspondence and special interviews. You feel content, happy and satisfied with your life. Good news can come in from far away.
Nov 10 – Mercury turns direct at 2 Scorpio. If you have any planets at 2 degrees of Scorpio, you can get confused today and not know if you are coming or going. Give it a rest for a few days and then it is time to put into action what you have been mulling over since Mercury turned retrograde on Oct 21.
Nov 12 – Sun Trine Jupiter at 20 Scorpio/Cancer. A good day for all water signs (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces). An expansive, happy, fulfilling time.
Nov 11 – Mercury trine Neptune. This time Mercury is moving direct when he trines Neptune. A forward thinking aspect.
Nov 12 – Sun Trine Jupiter. Financial and educational opportunities. A day of self confidence that gives you the impetus to move ahead.
Nov 13 – Neptune turns direct at 2 Pisces. Neptune has been creating more confusions and delusions than normal since he went retrograde in June 2013. Now He is moving direct in his own sign of Pisces. We can have some important dreams and creative imaginative ideas.
Nov 14 – Venus Square Uranus at 9 Capricorn/Aries. You are feeling belligerent and prickly today. Try not to tick anyone off. Just speak up, tell the truth and get out of town.
Nov 15 – Venus Conjunct Pluto at 9 Capricorn. You remember the story of Persephone when Hades came up from under the earth in his black chariot and abducted Persephone and dragged her down into the underworld. Well that could happen to you today. It could be your shadow dragging you down to face the ugly shadow of your insignificant other. You could have some painful revelations about how you deal with relationships.
Nov 17 – Full Moon 25 Taurus at 10:16 AM. The Sun is in Scorpio and the Moon in the opposite side of Taurus. Do you want to let go and transform your life or are you stuck with your possessions and people and just can't let go.
Nov 21 – Sun enters Sagittarius until December 21. What a relief after the gloom of Scorpio and Halloween. Sagittarius is a much lighter sign. We want to break free and travel or have some fun.
Nov 24 – Sun Square Neptune at 2 Sagittarius/Pisces. You are really not playing with a completely full deck today. Don’t make any decisions about anything especially if you have the ascendant or personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus or Mars) at 1 to 3 degrees of Sagittarius or Pisces.
Nov 25 - Mercury conjunct Saturn at 16 Scorpio. This is one pretty darn depressing aspect especially if you have the ascendant or personal planets at 15 to 17 degrees of Scorpio. Use this day to do some concentrating on detailed work. Work, don’t think.
Nov 28 – Mercury Trine Jupiter. This is a much better day for the mind. You feel expansive and are curious about the world.
Venus opposite Jupiter at 19 Capricorn/Cancer. You are totally out of bounds today, eating donuts, drinking white russians and playing Casino on the internet. Don’t do that! Get a grip!
Nov 30 – Sun Trine Uranus. A good day that brings in some surprising, unusual and pleasant events.
OUTER PLANET TRANSITS
JUPITER is in Cancer until July 2014. This month he turns retrograde on the 7th and he will move from 20 to 19 degrees of Cancer. You will now feel enthusiastic and exuberant. A good time to expand your life with education and experiences. Look to the house in your natal chart that holds 19 degree to 20 degrees of Cancer or Capricorn. This is the area of your life that will experience this expansion.
SATURN is in Scorpio until Dec 24, 2014. This month Saturn is moves from 13 to 17 degrees of Scorpio. If you have the ascendant or any personal planets at 13 to 17 degrees of Scorpio or Taurus in your natal chart, you may be in store for some hard lessons around the issues ruled by the planet and the house the planet is in or rules. Scorpio rules passion, sex and depths of all kinds and Saturn may ask you to take on more responsibility for how you control your rage and psychological expression.
URANUS is in Aries until 2018. This month Uranus is retrograde and moves from 9 to 8 degrees of Aries. We all feel a need to rebel; we want more freedom and want to make some radical changes in our life. I believe in “cooperating with the inevitable”. If you have Uranus in a challenging aspect to your ascendant or personal planets, go on a long vacation, move, or make some major changes in your life.
NEPTUNE (creativity, sensitivity, escapism, dreams) is in Pisces until 2026 and is moving retrograde until Nov 13. This month Neptune stays at 2 degrees of Pisces. A lack of focus, a sense of drifting or an inability to see a betrayal or disappointment until it's too late can be experienced by those of you with the Sun or Personal Planets at 2 degrees of Pisces or Virgo. For the enlightened out there, Neptune can also bring artistic, musical, creative expression, increased dreams and spiritual insights. Watch for some really inspired films to come out during the time Neptune is in Pisces.
PLUTO is in Capricorn until 2023. This month Pluto moves from 9 to 10 degrees of Capricorn all month. Everyone is feeling the urge to purge and to find his or her truth. Profound changes will be felt especially by those with Sun, ascendant or personal planets at 9 to 10 degrees of Capricorn or Cancer.
Have a good month,
Janet Kane
