New Moon Solar Eclipse on Tuesday, November 13th, 2012, at 5:09 PM EST.
Tuesday afternoon, a New Moon in Scorpio occurs. This lunation is a more potent New Moon, as it is a Total Solar Eclipse, and represents a new beginning in the fixed water sign of Scorpio. It?s a time when we can focus on some of the constructive traits of the sign of the Scorpio
This Total Solar Eclipse occurs on November 13th at 5:09 PM EST at 21 degrees and 57 minutes of Scorpio. Its effects can be felt up to six months after the actual date of the eclipse. In the sign of Scorpio, matters related to intimacy, control, power, money, and sharing will be a strong focus on a personal level. This eclipse is about new beginnings regarding all of these matters.
One of Scorpio?s ?lessons? involve learning to dig deeper into the mysteries around us instead of always being content with status quo. Taking the time to understand others? motives can enrich our feelings of intimacy, forgiveness, and sense of meaning. Scorpio also teaches us that dedication to one meaningful relationship or undertaking can be significantly more satisfying than spreading ourselves around. Here, ?quality over quantity? applies. We might want to use this cycle to work on focusing on and developing one special project or relationship in order to help add purposefulness and depth to our lives.
With retrograde Mercury square Neptune at the time of the eclipse, we should watch for fuzzy or wishful thinking. Intuition is heightened, but the details of our plans now may be hidden, overlooked, or unclear.

This phase of the Moon occurs at?21 degrees and?57 minutes of Scorpio, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately?17 to?27 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) most significantly.

The Sun is in Scorpio; Mercury is in Sagittarius until the 14th, when it retrogrades back into Scorpio; Venus is in Libra; Mars is in Sagittarius until the 16th, when it enters Capricorn.
The Sun is in Scorpio from October 22-November 21. The guiding principle of Scorpio is ?I desire?. Scorpio is the sign of depth, intimacy, and extremes of feeling. Superficiality simply will not do with the Sun in Scorpio. We have the desire to get to the bottom of matters. Mediocrity does not satisfy either. All that is hidden, taboo, secret, or suppressed interests us. In Libra, we strived towards equality and fairness. Scorpio, however, instinctively believes that life simply isn?t fair. Scorpio?s energy is provocative, usually in a quiet way, as well as passionate, strong-willed, and intense. It can be an immensely healing and transformative energy. Jealousy, vindictiveness, beating a dead horse, and manipulative are some of the more negative expressions of Scorpio.
Mercury is in Sagittarius from October 29-November 14. When Mercury is in Sagittarius, our thinking shifts from a need to plumb the depths of any given situation to the desire to learn about a wide range of topics. Ideals are sought, our thinking is more optimistic, and our faith increases. We are more equipped to believe and to persuade. What is fair and unfair concerns us most now.
Mercury retrogrades back into the sign of Scorpio from November 14-December 10. When Mercury is in Scorpio, our thoughts and communications are more probing and intense. While Mercury in Libra urged us to find balance and to arrive at fair solutions, Mercury in Scorpio instinctively knows that life simply isn?t fair. Mercury in Scorpio seeks truths in all that is hidden and undercover. We tend to probe, observe, and focus our thoughts under this influence. Looking for motivations?the more deeply buried the better?satisfies an intellectual need now. Our thoughts are profound. We throw away superficial manners of communicating in favor of deep conversations. Scorpio is extremely sharp, profound, and analytical. Thinking is inclined to be one-track minded, focused, and even obsessive.
Venus is in Libra from October 28-November 21. We are more inclined to employ charm rather than aggressive behavior in order to get what we want during this cycle. Although Venus in Libra virtually lives for relationships, there is an air of cool detachment to this energy. We are very obliging with others?quite willing to negotiate and compromise. We can be especially idealistic about love. We prefer things be done the ?right? way, and are turned off by aggressive or uncouth behavior. The shadow side of this position is dependency, inconsistency, and superficiality. In an attempt to avoid unpleasant situations, we could easily gloss over deeper issues at play in our relationships. It?s probably best to avoid the trap of acquiescing to our partners but privately resenting the fact or thinking ourselves martyrs for doing so! This is also a time when we are more artistically inclined. We tend to seek balance in our personal environment.
Mars is in Sagittarius from October 6-November 16. With a Sagittarius Mars, our actions are motivated by our ideals. We are bothered by routine, quickly becoming restless if we feel confined. We have a love of adventure, and of conquest?this is the position of wanderlust. We start projects or challenges with gusto, although we may tend to abandon them rather quickly. This may be because we set our sights too high!
Mars is in Capricorn from November 16-December 25. Mars in Capricorn is deliberate, persistent energy. We consider the future and the consequences before taking action during this cycle. Our energy is reliable and faithful. We are slow to anger, but can be quite cold if we are frustrated. The shadow side of Mars in Capricorn is rigidity.
Saturn entered Scorpio on October 5, 2012 and will transit the sign until 2015. Read about Saturn?s transit through Scorpio here.
Jupiter is in Gemini from June 11th, 2012 to June, 2013. Read about Jupiter?s transit through Gemini here.
Uranus entered Aries on March 11th, 2011. The urge to start fresh, to break free from restrictive attitudes or circumstances, to totally redesign an area of our lives (or even our personalities), and to gain freedom through independence is strong with Uranus in Aries.
Romance & Relationships
Venus is in Libra from October 28-November 21. Venus rules Libra and thus is dignified in the sign. Venus feels right ?at home? in Libra, where she seeks to balance and harmonize. With Venus in Libra, we can easily be in love with love. We are more comfortable with a close partner with whom we can seek to have a balanced relationship. We are more inclined to employ charm rather than aggressive behavior in order to get what we want. Although Venus in Libra virtually lives for relationships, there is an air of cool detachment to this energy. We are very obliging with others?quite willing to negotiate and compromise. We can be especially idealistic about love. We prefer things be done the ?right? way, and are turned off by aggressive or uncouth behavior. The shadow side of this position is dependency, inconsistency, and superficiality. In an attempt to avoid unpleasant situations, we could easily gloss over deeper issues at play in our relationships. It?s probably best to avoid the trap of acquiescing to our partners but privately resenting the fact or thinking ourselves martyrs for doing so!
This week: Venus doesn?t form any major aspects to major planets this week. However, on Sunday, a semi-square to Mercury can stimulate the desire to intellectualize our feelings or attachments, but there can be some superficiality or machinations in our attempt to get what we want. On Tuesday, a dynamic aspect to Chiron can stimulate some insecurities when it comes to giving our love to others.
Venus, the Goddess of Love: Highlights in the Coming Week:
Venus in Libra October 28-November 21. As this new cycle takes hold in your life, romance and social interaction take on a greater importance for you. Harmonious ties to others are what you yearn for; refinement and elegance are what you seek. The ideal partnership, the perfect balance, the highest standards of truth and beauty ? these are some of the things that quicken your pulse now.
Venus semi-square Mercury November 11. Communications between lovers are superficial and unsatisfying, and perhaps awkward. Superficiality in romantic expression may exist now.
Venus sesquiquadrate Chiron November 13. Love cannot be forced. This is not a commitment-friendly transit, as we may feel alienated for no apparent reason and unwilling to give of ourselves.
Venus sesquiquadrate Jupiter November 19-20. We experience a strong desire for more pleasure in our lives, which can be excessive. Take care not to overstate your feelings or to set up unrealistic expectations in your partnerships.
Venus trine Neptune November 21-22. We perceive romantic situations as if they were ?designed? just for us. A magical, romantic time. The pleasures of life are experienced fully. Romance is highly favored. We see the very best in people now, and this eases our interactions and takes the pressure off in personal relationships.
The Moon & Timing
The Void of Course Moon is the period of time after the Moon has made its last aspect in one sign until the Moon enters a new sign. During Void of Course Moon periods, it is generally wise to stick to routine rather than to begin new projects. The last aspect the Moon makes before changing signs is indicated here, and is indicative of the ?outcome? of the matter (whether that is a new project begun before the void period, or the answer to a question in Horary Astrology). Void of Course in Horary Astrology: If you were asking a question and making a chart for the answer, as you do in Horary astrology, it is said that since the Moon is not looking forward to any more aspects in this sign, you would have to say that the answer is not forthcoming; any questions asked at this time would not come to pass. The Moon being Void is one of the Strictures against Judgment in Horary Astrology.?

November 11
The Moon is in Libra all day, aligning with Venus this morning. Under this influence, we are approachable and polite, and we might have an opportunity to enhance our personal relationships. This is an affectionate and friendly influence?not wild or exciting, but pleasing and perhaps a little self-indulgent. Mercury semi-squares Venus this afternoon, and we can be a little hypersensitive, as well as lacking in self-discipline. While there may be special efforts put forth to be polite, there can also be a tendency to employ charm for personal gain. The Sun in difficult aspect to Uranus this evening can point to unexpected changes in plans or other disruptions. We might rebel against rules or commitments. However, changes might stimulate us to try new approaches.
November 12
The Moon leaves Libra and enters Scorpio at 6:11 AM EST. All that is hidden, taboo, secret, or suppressed interests us under the influence of a Scorpio Moon. We are fascinated with what others tend to repress, and are drawn to experiencing and understanding these things. The Moon?s alignment with Saturn early afternoon calls for a more serious attitude, as responsibilities or lacks are illuminated. On this day before a New Moon Solar Eclipse, it?s a good idea to reflect on recent events and feelings rather than to forge ahead with all-new endeavors.
A void of course Moon occurs from 12:15 AM EST, with the Moon?s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Mars), until the Moon enters Scorpio at 6:11 AM EST.
November 13
A Total Solar Eclipse New Moon occurs in the sign of Scorpio at 5:09 PM EST. Its effects can be felt up to six months after the actual date of the eclipse. In the sign of Scorpio, matters related to intimacy, control, power, money, and sharing will be a strong focus on a personal level. This eclipse is about new beginnings regarding all of these matters. It?s a good time for working on our self-mastery skills. We may want to pinpoint the things in our lives that make us feel out of control, such as addictions and debts, and work on freeing ourselves of these emotional burdens. This cycle represents an opportunity to rid ourselves of the ?junk? in our lives?material and spiritual. With this potent Scorpio energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives. Tonight?s Mercury-Neptune square, however, can present some confusion, particularly with facts, directions, and instructions. Perceptions are confused, unrealistic, or too idealistic to carry weight in the real world, and conversations may be vague.
November 14
Mercury retrogrades back into the sign of Scorpio today, where it will transit until December 10th (in retrograde motion, until November 26th). When Mercury is in Scorpio, our thoughts and communications are more probing and intense. Looking for motivations?the more deeply buried the better?satisfies an intellectual need now. Thinking is inclined to be one-track minded, focused, and even obsessive. Early afternoon, the Sun semi-squares Pluto, and there can be a tendency to want to control our lives through some form of manipulation. Meeting with obstacles in our paths, however, can force us into the position of using all of our resources to fight back, and we can discover resources we never knew we had in the process. We can feel especially emotionally vulnerable with Chiron stationary and turning direct today. Emotional truths about matters we?ve been avoiding or confused about begin to emerge now and in the coming weeks. These may not always be comfortable, but they serve to motivate us to take appropriate action.
A void of course Moon occurs from 5:40 AM EST, with the Moon?s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Mercury), until the Moon enters Sagittarius at 5:53 AM EST.
November 15
The Moon is in adventurous, brave Sagittarius all day. However, Saturn quincunx Uranus exact today can leave us on the fence. A feeling of vague restlessness accompanies this transit, which will occur again in April and October next year. Whether we are asserting our freedom and individuality, or conforming to what we feel is expected of us, we are unlikely to feel completely satisfied. There may be sudden and unexpected twists that force us to do something different or free ourselves from old habits. Adjusting our plans may be in order, and striking a balance between convention and innovation is the challenge. Setbacks tend to be temporary and are likely to lead to new, more creative paths or solutions. Ambivalence is likely and could color many of our interactions. It can be challenging to make one particular decision and stick to it.
November 16
The Moon leaves Sagittarius at 5:36 AM EST, and enters Capricorn, and we are a little more serious and practical-minded. This morning, a longer-term transit comes exact: Saturn trines Chiron. This is a very helpful influence that teaches us the value of humility. We are more effective, competent, and secure because we are more realistic about our abilities and we are not caught up in matters of ego. Tonight, Mars enters Capricorn, where it will transit until December 25th. Mars in Capricorn is deliberate, persistent energy. We consider the future and the consequences before taking action during this cycle. Our energy is reliable and faithful. We are slow to anger, but can be quite cold if we are frustrated. The shadow side of Mars in Capricorn is rigidity.

This Week?s Planetary Positions By Sign (General Trends):Sun in Scorpio Who owes what, who owns what, and who decides these things: these are some of the major issues for you at the dawn of the cycle that now begins in your life. The only thing we really own is our consciousness; the only master who is never overthrown is oneself. These are lessons best learned early in this cycle. Master them, and you master everything. Dodge these issues, and the great strength that could be yours will remain just out of reach. Understanding inner motivations, seeing through to the core: that?s your real path of power and enlightenment now.Mercury in Sagittarius A time of expanding your mental horizons is at hand. Religion, philosophy, law, and education are some of the things that may have special importance for you now. Being in touch with? faraway people and places satisfies an intellectual yearning ? curiosity will take you anywhere and maybe everywhere.
Mercury in Scorpio A pronounced curiosity about taboos and mysteries plays a greater part in your life now. Your mind is on cutting through the nonessentials and penetrating to the core is where your mind is at now; you want to know who (or what) pulls the strings. Sex, taxes, investments, and others of life?s most compelling phenomena may captivate your interest more than ever before.
Venus in Libra As this new cycle takes hold in your life, romance and social interaction take on a greater importance for you. Harmonious ties to others are what you yearn for; refinement and elegance are what you seek. The ideal partnership, the perfect balance, the highest standards of truth and beauty ? these are some of the things that quicken your pulse now.
Mars in Sagittarius Ideology is a keynote of the new phase you have begun ? the power of ideas and the power they wield over people. Religious, cultural, or philosophical controversies and crusades have a way of stirring your blood. Travel and adventure are compelling temptations as you dare to test your mettle and stretch your horizons.
Mars in Capricorn With this new cycle taking hold in your life now, taking charge and being in control become more important issues for you. You want to get things organized, and you have the initiative to do it. This is a time of ambition and responsibility, a time to keep your cool and pace yourself. Working hard is smart, but working smart is better.
Jupiter in Gemini Facilitating the transfer of ideas and information takes on a special priority for you now. Writing, studying, and communicating play a bigger role in your life as a result. The belief that well-informed people will make the right decisions becomes an article of faith. Just remember: sometimes people know the right thing to do and STILL do something different!
Saturn in Scorpio This new cycle signals a need to recognize that there are powers beyond your control, that things are not what they seem on the surface. Trying to stay in control and on top only sets you up for a fall. There is a need for the resources of others. Failure to recognize this and deal with it can stop you in your tracks.
Uranus in Aries A clean break with the past in some respects is signaled by the cycle you have just begun. What YOU need, YOUR freedom and independence, shattering old molds: these are the things that energize you and take priority in your life. Uniqueness and originality set you apart.
Neptune in Pisces Things spiritual and psychic take the driver?s seat of your imagination as you begin a new cycle. The fine arts and all manner of fantasies assume a larger-than-life importance. Surrendering to fate, karma, and other powers greater than merely mortal may be seen as the ultimate liberation. If all is maya (illusion), what is the reality that gives rise to the world of appearances?
Pluto in Capricorn As this new phase dawns for you, the pursuit of social/political power and status has a way of seeming necessary and inevitable ? and let nothing stand in its way. It starts out small, but has bigger consequences than you?d think. Ambition, responsibility, a place for everyone and everyone in their place?
