November 2008 forecast

The time for you to come out and play is at the end of the month. But first, you have to keep a low-ish profile while the Sun is in your solar twelfth house of secrets until the 22nd, joined by Mars until the 17th and Mercury until the 23rd. It’s likely you’ll be tucked away, head down, bottom up beavering away on projects or decisions that you’re not ready to make public. Or perhaps you’re so busy at work that you might not have time to get out that much.

If you need to discuss a family matter that’s been bugging you, use the courage of the 1st to get an unexpectedly good outcome. By the 11th and 16th you could find that a surprise decision has been made behind the scenes about your living arrangements or family that you really like. Some hush-hush financial deals could be underway on the 10th and 17th while you could also be trying to keep quiet about a long-ranging career decision around the 11th and 17th. Admit nothing to anyone and for goodness sake, don’t get drunk on the 4th (hard, I know, as it’s the Melbourne Cup and you just lurrrve those horses, Sag), 13th (also the Full Moon) or 18th, when you could blurt a confidence to someone who happily pops it on Facebook or who doesn’t tell you the whole truth and nothing but.

Then at last(!) your birthday month begins with Venus in your solar first house of personality until the 13th, joined by Mars from the 17th, the Sun from the 22nd, Mercury from the 23rd, and Pluto until the 27th. This stellium (party of planets) in your first house point to November being a real life-changing month with wonderful aspects on the 5th, 12th, 25th and New Moon of the 28th. No wonder you wanted to pull the doona over your head!

Your looks, body, personality, thoughts and desires could be changed permanently with last-minute “meddling” from Pluto who has been hanging around, transforming everything about you since 1995. He makes a gob-smackingly intense conjunction with Venus – the last-ever for about 240 years – on the 12th which could point to you meeting the true love of your life, getting a proposal, married, or pregnant, moving overseas or interstate to be with someone or exploding some other love- or romantic-related rule you have for yourself. This will make up for the 3rd when you could feel a bit down and/or all over the shop.

The other bit of November you should know about is when Venus enters your solar second house of income on the 13th, joined by Jupiter until 7th January 2009 and Pluto from the 27th until 2024. The Cone of Silence you might be enduring with the twelfth house action could well have to do with finance. You could hear from generous, yet eccentric old Aunt Edna who wants to give you money towards your (first) house on the 13th and 28th while your usually grumpy and stingy boss could at last recognise your true worth and offer you an excellent raise following career talks on the 21st or 30th.

If you’re in business for yourself, the 13th, 21st, 28th or 30th (but especially the 21st) are also fantastic days to launch a new product, company or get a “yes” from a VIP client.
