![]() Saturn becomes exalted at 20° Libra, which Saturn reaches exactly around mid-day on November 4. What is very strong in this eclipse grouping is Saturn. So both of our luminaries are weak and at the mercy of the nodes, meaning that no matter what our mind and heart is striving toward, we may experience some intensity and be somewhat at the mercy of the happenings of the world to overshadow our own story for a moment, in some way. The Sun in Libra is in its sign of debilitation, somewhat ameliorated by the Sun having past the exact degree of debilitation at 10° Libra. The Moon becomes an empty vessel at this juncture, a well of potential. These five planetary bodies are all placed within 7 degrees of one another, making this a rather dramatic eclipse. ![]() The Sun and Moon will be at 17° Libra, retrograde Mercury will be with Rahu exactly conjunct at 13° Libra and Saturn will be approaching its exact degree of exaltation at 19° Libra. This happens in the sign of Libra, our Venus-ruled air sign. This is also the moment of the new Moon, when the Moon reaches the end of the current cycle and moves into the next. The moment of the greatest eclipse happens at about 12:45 pm UT, 5:45 am MST, so just before sunrise on Sunday, November 3. Where the eclipses occur and the other planets that are drawn into the event of the eclipse tell a story about how these astral influences will manifest in our lives. What are we striving toward based on our past experience? Eclipses are dramatic and significant, just as the nodes are in our charts. These "shadow" planets mark points in our astrological charts that give us clues as to our karmic path. These magical alignment spots that allow the Sun, Moon and Earth to line up just so, we call the nodes of the Moon, otherwise known as Rahu (north node) and Ketu (south node.) The disc of the Moon will come between the Earth and the Sun, at that magical spot that perfectly aligns the Moon in order that it may eclipse the light of the Sun. New Moon Total Solar Eclipse November 3Īccording to the NASA web site, the solar eclipse of November 3 is "is the most interesting eclipse of the year." The path of the total eclipse is narrow, and will be seen best during the day from the countries of central and western Africa. This transit may inspire us to adventurously yet sustainably expand in our creative pursuits and relationships. More on this at the last section of this forecast. ![]() In addition, Venus receives influence from Jupiter, the owner of Sagittarius, which creates a positive balance on the affairs of Venus for the month of November. ![]() However, in Sagittarius, Venus will instead receive the aspect of Saturn, a different type of pressure, perhaps more steady and serious but less dramatic. Venus helps us to connect, relate, love and find the beauty in life and free of the hot pressure of Mars, we could feel a bit of reprieve. This may lessen the intensity of things for the time being, as Venus is currently the lord of all of the goings on in Libra. Venus is relieved of the aspect of Mars until November 26, when Mars moves to Virgo. Venus remains visible in the evening sky but is preparing for the change to "morning star" which will begin with a Venus retrograde cycle beginning around the winter solstice. Moving out of Scorpio in the wee hours of October 30, Venus moves into Jupiter's sign of Sagittarius for a five week transit before moving to Capricorn.
