Sun in Scorpio trine retrograde Neptune in Pisces 12th November 2021

The Sun at 20 degrees 30 minutes Scorpio is trine retrograde Neptune at 20 degrees 30 minutes Pisces at 4.24 pm GMT 12th November 2021.

Retracing experiences and parts of your life that have been or are sources of uncertainty or confusion will help you to find what your strengths are. These strengths can be held in reserve for when they’re needed in your darkest moments when you would be unsure about what to do. Projecting your influence should be done with subtlety and a lack of superficiality. Inspiration may arrive when it’s needed in expressing your personality, but revealing vulnerability isn’t necessary. Sources of inspiration that feel like they give you a new lease of life are easily recognized; they lead to a transformation for a focused sense of direction.

A lack of preparation really will “put a spanner in the works” that leads to problems being created that could have been avoided. There is the possibility there will be challenges that arise out of the blue that couldn’t be avoided. For some it doesn’t matter how careful they are, difficulties will happen regardless of the preventative measures they have in place. Persistence is required to keep going in the face of adversity, to succeed despite the odds being against you. Those in a position of authority could find they’re in conflict with those who want to fight for what they are passionate about. Overall it’s best to act cautiously and carefully at the moment.

The information and advice you receive may be useful in providing a structure for ideas, but the harsh reality of putting them into practice will be a struggle. Random obstructions are created that can place immense demands on your ability to think of ways you can get around them. This doesn’t necessarily mean all is lost though, it just means this transit doesn’t offer the right time and place. It’s acceptable to be efficient and organised, but if there is a tendency to be a perfectionist, not enough tasks will be completed. However, on the positive side there should be at least one achievement for your efforts.

Now is a chance to put words into action and with the influence of Scorpio this means compromises will be in short supply. Listen to instructions carefully if there is a plan that is scheduled during this transit; not paying enough attention carries the risk of accidents. An urge to intensely research information may lead to assertiveness in contacting and questioning those who you think have the answers you seek. Mental restlessness is increased and unless particular topics are immensely interesting, your attention span will be shortened.

Mercury in Scorpio sextile Venus in Capricorn 6th November 2021

Mercury at 1 degree 9 minutes Scorpio is sextile Venus at 1 degree 9 minutes Capricorn 3.59 pm GMT 6th November 2021.

Seeking activities that are intensely mentally absorbing, without the need to spend a lot of money has a particularly strong appeal right now. What you discuss with those who are of a similar mindset to you can be very useful in gaining alliances with those who share your values. Calculated assessments of your finances and material resources will help you to see what you really want and what is frivolous with short-lived novelty value. When purchases are to be made, it may be a good idea to do your research first to make the best choice, and get the most for your money.

Sun in Scorpio opposition retrograde Uranus in Taurus 4th November 2021

The Sun at 12 degrees 47 minutes Scorpio opposition retrograde Uranus at 12 degrees 47 minutes Taurus at 11.58 pm GMT 4th November 2021.

Startling events may take place during this transit that are destabilising and cause restlessness. This could lead to behaviour where you’re unwilling “to take prisoners” and will rebel against what is expected of you. A review may need to be taken at what to do about breaking away from constraints of tradition or outdated habits. If you want to find out what you really want from life this can be done, but it won’t be free from opposition to what are viewed to be unorthodox methods. Endurance and stability will be tested. What has previously been relied upon can suddenly change or be taken away. This will demand the ability to show strength of character due to unexpected and possibly cruel occurrences.

Venus in Sagittarius sextile Jupiter in Aquarius 28th October 2021

Venus at 22 degrees 31 minutes Sagittarius is sextile Jupiter at 22 degrees 31 minutes Aquarius at 7.16 pm GMT 8.16 pm BST 28th October 2021.

Expanding the range of your social contacts in weird and wonderful ways can result in at least a little fun and excitement. Benevolence and generosity are easier to come by, and if it’s offered to you don’t turn it down because you feel it’s not needed or deserved. In legal matters, what is considered to be fair and right will have the upper hand. Taking a chance on financial enterprises that are out of your usual comfort zone could turn out to be a good choice. Sound and rational judgement without being unduly affected by emotional responses assists in gaining the best rewards.

Venus at 20 degrees 45 minutes Sagittarius is square retrograde Neptune at 20 degrees 45 minutes Pisces at 1.07 am GMT 2.07 am BST 27th October 2021.

Frustration when those you care the most about don’t quite live up to how you would like them to behave is felt, but they are quickly forgiven. It might be tricky to pin those within your social circle down to spend enough time in your company, but this could be due to their attention being drawn to distractions in their lives that are particularly appealing to them at the moment. It’s not advisable to take chances with your finances during this transit, because what appears to be straight-forward and clear to understand could be anything but. The lack of clarity, potential deception or false promises will become apparent in the near future.

Mars in Libra trine Jupiter in Aquarius 19th October 2021

Mars at 22 degrees 20 minutes Libra is trine Jupiter at 22 degrees 20 minutes Aquarius at 2.37 am GMT 3.37 am BST 19th October 2021.

Those who like to see fairness put into action could be forthcoming in taking the initiative to do what they believe is right, without restricting the rights and freedom of others. What you believe you can do has a better chance of succeeding if you’re prepared to keep an open mind about what you want to allow to happen. Personal growth in various directions rather than at one target is enabled during this transit. If you have to take the risk with starting anything where the end result can’t be predicted, this could be one of the best moments that can be chosen.

The Sun at 24 degrees 20 minutes Libra is square Pluto at 20 degrees 20 minutes Capricorn at 12.08 pm GMT 1.08 pm BST 17th October 2021.

It’s a struggle to have a balanced view of life when there are dramatic changes that require hard work to overcome restrictions and self-doubts. Indecision and a lack of direction about what to do in your best interest can make it difficult to persevere with issues associated with personal transformation. It’s not the time to work on important and long lasting changes to eliminate what is no longer wanted; there could be too much to take into consideration. Also you may not want to use your strength to deal with disruption at the moment. There will be occurrences that are uncomfortable to experience, but they are a necessary evil in order to confront obstacles that test your strength to be calm when facing adversity. If a crisis takes place resist the urge to give in to pessimism. Your immediate outlook may not be as bleak as it first appears.
