All Event Times are for Raleigh NC



Nov 3 8:35pm Moon in same degree as Saturn in Libra: an elevating lesson on the responsibilities of friendship.
Nov 5 7:00am  Moon + Venus rise together in Scorpio: invisible in their proximity to the bright Sun, yet touching our hearts with insight of how we are transformed by those closest to us.
Nov 6 12:53am New Moon in Scorpio!  It is good strategy to imagine what we really want regardless of whether it conflicts with our respectful behavior toward others.
Nov 7 1:24am Neptune turns direct; our minds shed tight skin and gain a comprehensive understanding of life by observing the passage of real time.
Nov 7 4:48pm Moon passes Mars in Sagittarius as both planets set on the western horizon: it is a philosophical challenge to see ourselves from a stranger’s point of view.
Nov 9 3:10pm Moon passes exiled Pluto in Capricorn: by reading The Triangle we confront our own exile from society with clarity of purpose. Both planets came over the horizon at 10:30am revealing responsibility so awesome we’ll be amazed at our ability to manage it.
Nov 10 7:58am: in the week since Nov 3 the Moon has advanced 90 degrees while Saturn has moved just 1.  As a community we struggle for consensus and discuss how to move forward in light of the recent elections. 11:10am on Nov 10 a less freaky lunar dawning but a bit of a drag.  I am not talking about a party with your favorite high heels and dresses. Take care of business and you’ll be satisfied later.
Nov 13 11:40am Moon now 90 degrees ahead of the Sun will rise at 2:00 pm just before Neptune which it will pass at 9:15pm.  The more taxes we pay to send astronauts to the Space Station the less time we have to step outside and look at the Moon.  Look in the western sky at 9:00pm and observe her in the last two hours before she sets; that moon is your moon, that moon is my moon.  In our minds we can be astronauts without spending a dime.
Nov 15 8:45am I love to communicate with people at times like this when poetry is most appropriate.
Nov 16 All rise at 2:30pm, ok just the ones who cry at movies; go hide in the bathroom and wash your face before you come out.  See you there!
Nov 18 This is the big day!  Jupiter and Venus return to forward motion and we are full of hope and love.  Remember when everyone was all bothered Oct 4-9?  Mars overtook Venus and then she turned tail and ran the other way.  We were reminded that under the clothing of civilized cooperation is a beast whose function is to ensure our personal survival.  Those willing to disappear in a puff of noble gases are free to ignore this inner animal.  But those of us attached to life are wise to thank this selfish part of us and now negotiate compromise in the spirit of humble mortals.  What does your body need to sustain its inner light?  You’ve weighed your options, now make a reasonable proposition.
Nov 20 Fencing is like any other competition; the one with the most points loses respect if they are not a good sport.  Speak your mind, listen with humility, and all will be honored.
Nov 21 What we’ve had since Oct and will continue through Feb is an unbalanced solar system, there’s no other way to say it, we are continuing to face everyone on the other side of the sun in the mature and responsible zone.  Mars has had his way, yes, but we are on one side looking at everyone else, including the beast, in the grown-up signs of the zodiac; so the full Moon in these months brings the balance of subjective consciousness that we are craving.  12pm give thanks for the simplicity of friends with whom you can work and disagree.
Nov  22 Talk a little, talk a lot.  Moon in Gemini.  Sun enters Sagittarius 5:16am.
Nov 23 “…he has the very special gift of always keeping before our minds the whole. …breaking the whole into an infinite number of parts.  His ability to dissent and analyze, to show the relation between the parts, and finally relate the parts to the whole, is an exceptional one.”  Henry Miller on Dane Rudyar
Nov 24 Moon in Cancer.  Using a pen name, Dane Rudyar wrote the first horoscope column “What’s Your Sun Sign” for an astrology magazine in the 1930’s. He is the guiding light of modern astrologers.
Nov 25 If you’re surrounded by trees or buildings, look for the Moon in the east at 9:30 or 10pm. We can cherish this very intimate member of our solar system without anthropomorphizing it, but like the ancients, I like to imagine the Moon and all the planets with human qualities.
Nov 26 If you don’t have internet go to the library; search “free astrology charts.”  (There’s no need to pay for public information.)  It is your right to know where you began in the symphony of life spinning through our solar system.
Nov 28 4:35am Moon enters Virgo: research and practice telling people what you learn.  The only excuse for ignorance is abject poverty; we are responsible for our own education.
Nov 29 Noam Chomsky said his job is not to speak truth to power, but to inform the powerless.  Though it may seem insignificant, you change people’s lives when you spread reliable information.
