Current Transits for November 2012

The solar and Lunar Eclipse: November 2012 is for sure a hot month with 2 eclipses on the line; the solar eclipse on November 13th, 2012 on 22 degree Scorpio and the lunar eclipse on November 28th, 2012 on 7 degree Gemini. For more information on eclipses, check out the article on the solar and lunar eclipse.

Yod-The Finger of God between Saturn, Pluto and Black Moon Lilith: Saturn in Scorpio has moved away from its trine to Neptune, to form a sextile with Pluto. This forms a mutual reception between Saturn in Scorpio and Pluto in Capricorn and both work well through the use of structure and power, hopefully for good causes. But there is a negative twist to this energy, since Saturn and Pluto form a Yod (Finger of God) with Black Moon Lilith, which has a seductive, aggressive, underhand quality about it. I would say that this energy is symbolic of the recent exposure of the affair between Petraeus, a high ranking official with the CIA, and his biographer, Paula Broadwell. There is some additional concern since Black Moon Lilith is part of a T-square, opposing the retrograde Mercury and both of them square Neptune in Pisces. So there are indications of miscommunication, deception, lies and undoing with the added dark energy of Lilith connected to the Mercury Neptune square. If this T-square or Yod triggers any of your planets, then make sure you are not wearing any rose colored glasses and are conscious about seeing things for what they are, and not what they seem to be.

Neptune and Chiron Turning Direct: Neptune turns direct on November 11th, 2012 and Chiron turns direct on November 14th,2012. Retrograde Neptune can cause more disillusionment, lack of energy and de-motivation and so with it going direct, it is a good time to re-focus on your spiritual journey because Neptune reminds us it doesn’t matter if we all flow as different rivers but finally we have to merge in with the same vast ocean. When Chiron is retrograde, its task is to make one go through experiences in order to feel the pain (often from childhood) that needs to be healed, especially if it triggers any of your planets or angles. With Chiron going direct, hopefully there is more opportunity to heal that pain in a functional manner.

Mars square Uranus and then conjunct Pluto: The third week of November, Mars starts squaring Uranus and this is a time that energy runs high and one can easily end up in the fast lane, increasing the chance of making a rash decision or getting into accidents. Then Mars moves to conjunct Pluto and during the lunar eclipse on November 28th, forms a tight aspect with Pluto. Mars Pluto energy is generally about highly focused intense energy and it is a good time to focus and complete projects that require more concentration and effort. This influence last until the first week of December, and if not utilized in the right manner can cause some destructive behaviors. On November 28th Lunar eclipse, both Mars and Pluto are closely conjunct each other at 8 degree Capricorn and this is conjunct the fixed star, Facies, which is popular for causing accidents due to carelessness. So watch out for those trips and falls!

Black Moon Lilith in Focus: Black Moon Lilith has been in high focus with it being part of the T-square with Mercury and Neptune/Chiron. Then its at the focal point of a Yod, at the midpoint of Saturn/Pluto which points to underhand stuff related to people in high positions. Then during the November 28th eclipse, the Black Moon takes on a more sinister role, when Mars joins Pluto and Venus joins Saturn, and for sure events are going to get spiced up by this seductress, with many shades of grey – lot more than fifty!
