November 12th 9:22 pm EST @ 6° – Mercury conjoins Mars
Preview of this conjunction: On November 9, Mercury turns retrograde, a period that is well-known for causing confusion, delays, and miscommunications. During these three weeks, it is especially important to approach all agreements and contracts with caution. Double-check details, clarify any uncertainties, and ensure communication is clear and concise. Try to delay signing important documents until Mercury is direct again, or you may have to deal with revision later when Mercury goes direct on the 29th.
Mercury will be retrograding from November 9th-29th in Sagittarius and meets up with Mars in a conjunction on November 12th.
This conjunction is a powerful aspect that melds together the archetypes of each of these planets in the sign of Sagittarius. There could be passionate and cutting words (Mars cuts, Mercury speaks) about each person’s convictions and truth (Sagittarius). Sagittarius is the sign (ruled by Jupiter, now exalted in Cancer) that wants freedom, knowledge, travel and truth. Also, wisdom, and philosophical ideals. When this conjunction occurs, communication can be as sharp as razor blades. Try to ensure discussions are conducted openly and fairly. Healthy boundaries while discussing the needs of each other are what is important to keep in mind. On November 17th, the Scorpio Sun forms a trine to Jupiter in Cancer and to Saturn in Pisces. This grand water trine brings a flowing phase of clarity and readiness to cooperate. The quality of time this month is ideal for taking stock and clarifying relationship issues
Deeper wisdom can now be heard, and the loud voices will be subdued. It is a good time to structure plans and prepare long-term decisions in wherever Sagittarius is in your natal chart. Whatever house Sagittarius resides in your natal chart is where the “stage” is in your life. What topics could they be? Your 4th house of home, family, roots, and ancestry? Or perhaps your 6th house of daily duties, like the workplace. Maybe, it’s in your 8th house where loans, taxes, inheritances, and other people’s resources are involved. It could also mean things that you owe to others. Whether it be tangible or karmic.
Wherever this conjunction is in your birth chart, it will be highlighting the topics of your Sagittarian house. Leave me a comment and share your thoughts. Let me know which house is being affected during this transit. I can offer you insight into the topics to be aware of. As always, may the stars light your path and shine into your soul with purpose, passion, and love.
