New Moon Missions: A Look Ahead
Astrology Forecast for Thursday 11/14/2023 – Sunday 11/19/2023
It is New Moon week! The New Moon arrived early Monday morning in Scorpio. This New Moon acts as a trigger, igniting a rare Sun Mars conjunction in Scorpio. This conjunction promises aggressive action. Uranus in Taurus makes an opposition to these planets in Scorpio, promising unexpected disruptions.
In our lives, this dramatic opposition after 2 major eclipses in October could indicate sudden, transformational change in our lives. Whether we like it or not, we must use this New Moon to step away from past attachments and make a fresh start.
These next 2 days begin with a Moon in Sagittarius, supporting fact finding in preparation for our New Moon missions.
A hardworking Moon in Capricorn helps us launch our plans on Thursday and Friday.
Friday is an even more blessed day for starting something new, with a Cazimi between Mars and the Sun. A Cazimi is a positive moment when a planet moves within 17 minutes of the Sun. Typically, a planet close to the sun is burned up by it’s rays and considered combust. The Cazimi, however, is a blessing in the middle of a combust period.
Mars will reach this Cazimi point on Friday the 17th, receiving vital life force energy. This supercharges our actions. A Mars Sun Conjunction is a rare event, occurring every 2 years, approximately.
The confidence you lacked in the past does not exist in a Sun, Mars conjunction. The Cazimi blesses your actions for long-term success.
The Moon enters Aquarius on Sunday, bringing intellectual arguments to the fore. Religious and humanitarian topics get a cooler perspective.
By Sunday, we have our plans in order. Our thoughts and emotions begin to align more strongly with this month’s direction.
This Week’s Aspects:
New Moon - Fresh Starts
A few days after a New Moon is the best times to begin new projects.
Thursday, November 16th and Friday, November 17th will be your best days for launching new ventures.
Friday would be particularly positive, as the Sun and Mars will meet in a Cazimi.
Moon Void of Course - Prep Time
The Moon is Void of Course, not making aspects to any traditional planets, most of Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th. This gives us time to get mundane tasks completed on Tuesday and Wednesday, preparing us for fresh starts on Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th.
Mercury Sextile Venus - Ask and You Shall Receive
Mercury is in positive, expansive Sagittarius, forming a Sextile to Venus in Libra. Use this charming influence to network and ask for favors. New Moon projects are received favorably. Supportive feedback will be encouraging.
Mercury Quincunx Jupiter - Hopeless Optimism
This aspect encourages us to ask questions, but we also have to be open to the answers. Optimism helps our communications, but can also lead to some carelessness by only looking on the bright side of things. Double check contracts and get second opinions. Ensure optimism does not become arrogance.
Moon enters Capricorn Thursday, November 16th, at 02:42am
Time to get to work! Earth sign Capricorn is ready to climb that mountain towards bigger and better things. Set goals early in the week in preparation for 2.5 days of a Capricorn Moon. This moon will make helpful aspects to hardworking Saturn and optimistic Jupiter on Thursday the 16th, keeping us on the positive track. New Moon time is here. Now, we can make the most of it.
Venus Quincunx transit Jupiter - Balancing the Scales of Karma
If you’ve been taken advantage of, there is a chance for retribution, refunds and financial blessings for good deeds done. If you have been overindulgent or greedy, the scales do not tip in your favor.
People may take offense if scandalous topics aren’t handled with tact and moderation. Smile and be polite.
Mars Trine transit Neptune
Aggression is refined. A spiritual tone enters relationships. It’s not just about looks. A deeper connection fuels the attraction factor.
Spiritual battles can be won here. If you’ve felt spiritual attacks or generational curses, this New Moon would be an ideal time to vanquish these demons. Do some research early this week, and be open to strange answers with Mercury’s Quincunx to Jupiter.
Dancing, and other forms of art that require body movement, will be a great outlet and source of inspiration.
Sun Trine transit Neptune
If you have a spiritual mission, this Neptune trine could bring you in touch with it. Creativity and talent come forward from the recesses of your soul.
Making sense of religious and spiritual topics is easier. The Sun shines a light of truth.
Friends and close relationships are more loving and tender. New relationships have potential for longevity, when begun on a foundation of shared ideals.
Sun Mars Cazimi
Mars sits at the throne of the Sun. Confident action is blessed by the Sun’s Rays. Go for it!
Friday, November 17th, 1:38am - Cazimi Begins
Saturday, November 18th, 12:42am - Cazimi Conjunction is Exact
Saturday, November 18th, 11:50 pm - Cazimi Separates, and the Sun passes ahead of Mars
What area of your life will be blessed with action?
Keep an eye out for Sun Sign horoscopes arriving Wednesday. I will highlight the Sun Moon conjunction, and how it affects our ambitions for the next 2 years.
