The simplified profile of planetary aspects reaching a peak in the month of November is: 0 conjunctions, 1 opposition, 6 trines, 3 squares. The planetary trines outnumber the other members of the simplified profile this time. In view of the prevailing world conditions, it remains to be seen whether that will actually reflect in the way things work out.
The long-running Uranus 1/4 Pluto aspect (which won't peak until 6/24/12) is in orb throughout November, though not as close to exact as before. It will be within about 4.2 degrees of exact at the beginning of November, and within about 5.6 degrees at the end of November.
The other special aspect situation that was mentioned previously in this series of articles is the Mercury CON Venus aspect that drifted into orb in approximately the latter half of October and will still be in orb through most of November. As mentioned before, this aspect is in orb for a relatively long time for an aspect between these two fast-moving planets. And yet it won't reach a peak this time around. (This is a case of what has been called "planetary tag".) As stated last time: "Its closest approach to exactness is on approximately November 8, at which time it will be only 3' from exact. But since it doesn't actually become exact, it doesn't appear in any aspectarian, not even ours."
The first major planetary aspect to reach a peak in the month of November is Mercury 1/4 Neptune, which peaks in the wee hours of the 1st. This one will definitely bring confusion -- in thinking, writing, and making connections on trips; if you need to do some precision work of any kind, please be advised that this is not the time for it. Sun parallel Mars peaks in the evening -- generally good for projects which feature physicality to any significant extent. But if it involves pounding nails, be careful not to pound your fingers (due to the Mercury-Neptune square).
After changing sign from Scorpio to Sagittarius on the 2nd, both Mercury and Venus form a trine with Uranus on the 3rd. Venus does it in the wee hours, and Mercury does it early in the morning. So this period of time will be marked by feelings of newness and innovation. Experiencing and expressing fresh new ideas will be the rule rather than the exception.
Daylight Saving Time changes to Standard Time on the first Sunday in November -- which is November 6 this year. A reminder.
In the wee hours of the 7th, Mars 1/2 Neptune creates compatibilities for slippery action of all kinds: slipping on loose floor mats, slipping and sliding on the highway, and tomfoolery by con artists. This is a time to be extra careful regarding your actions.
Peaking in the evening (but in orb for much longer than that), Neptune goes stationary in declination. This can emphasize the slippery factors, but it can also introduce opportunities for hunches and inspirations.
Peaking in the wee hours of the 9th, Jupiter 1/11 Uranus can be expected to bring the unexpected. But with an aspect angle of "1/11", the surprises are not likely to be desirable. New ideas may be deceiving. And then, peaking at about midday (but in orb for many days), Neptune goes stationary-direct in the sign of Aquarius. Although this can bring more slipperiness, it is much more embracive than that. The atmosphere of "hunches and inspirations" can also be magnified, perhaps to advantage.
Jupiter 2/11 Neptune peaks at about midday on the 10th, spreading clouds of fuzziness of all kinds. This is another of those periods of time when precision of operation is not compatible and shouldn't be expected.
Peaking in the evening of the 11th, Saturn 1/5 Pluto generates a climate of hair-splitting and "picky-picky" attitudes. If things don't seem to be "just right", some people may get upset. Although precision is often a desirable feature, there can sometimes be "too much of a good thing". Such situations generally require exercising wisdom and good judgement.
Peaking in the wee hours of the 14th (but in orb the previous evening), Mars parallel Neptune can facilitate smooth actions that, at other times, might not work as desired. But be careful of unplanned consequences.
Peaking early in the morning of the 16th (but in orb for many days), Uranus 1/11 Neptune slips surprises into our lives that we would generally prefer to do without (due to the inharmonious "1/11" aspect angle). Be careful of surprises that appear on the surface to be good things. But peaking in the afternoon, Mars 1/3 Jupiter tends to make projects go better than usual, especially those which involve physical activity. (The combination of these two aspects peaking on the same day presents an enigma as to which one will most likely predominate at any given moment.)
Mercury goes stationary in declination in the evening of the 17th, enhancing the usual qualities that are associated with Mercury: communicating, thinking, and making connectivities and short trips.
Peaking in the afternoon of the 18th, Sun parallel Pluto brings out the feeling of wanting to interact with others (primarily groups) in the pursuit of projects that are often too much for one individual to handle.
Peaking in the afternoon of the 20th, Sun 1/4 Neptune brings slipperiness and confusion to just about any cycle that a person might contemplate. Squares involving Neptune have the common factor of fuzziness/confusion.
The 23rd could be a very interesting day. Reaching a peaking in the wee hours, Sun 1/3 Uranus brings a fresh new atmosphere. Then, peaking about four hours later (early in the morning), Mars 1/3 Pluto brings an atmosphere which is compatible with work projects of all kinds. And then, late in the evening, Mercury goes stationary-retrograde in Sagittarius, bringing help to the thinking process. This could turn out to be a good day to get many things done.
(Note: The precise timings of the aspects for November 23 can be seen on the sample aspect page which is posted during the month of October at www.newstandardaspectarian.com.)
The 24th is Thanksgiving Day, but it has a strangely interesting feature of its own beyond that. Peaking in the afternoon, Mercury parallel Venus creates a pleasant atmosphere for just about anything, including light-hearted conversation and socializing in general. But by the weirdest of coincidences, that very same aspect reaches a peak again in the afternoon of Christmas Day. The probability of that happening by pure chance must be awfully close to zero.
Peaking in the evening of the 25th, Mars parallel Jupiter creates an atmosphere that focuses on physical activity. It almost makes people want to watch sports on TV -- or to participate in some sport themselves.
Peaking in the evening of the 26th, Venus 1/4 Uranus creates an atmosphere which could feel strangely foreign and almost unworldly. Egos come out of the woodwork to strut their stuff in unusual ways, trying to appear new and different, for the purpose of attracting attention and controlling other people's attention and actions for selfish purposes.
Peaking in the afternoon of the 27th, Venus 1/3 Jupiter emphasizes emotions and other feelings. Attitudes tend to center on things associated with space, big things, health, wealth, color, and music.
Venus goes stationary in declination in the evening of the 28th, further emphasizing the Venus factors in life -- subjectivity in general, feelings, balancing factors, music, poetry, personal opinions, etc. (Note: The Venus influence is further reinforced in the morning of December 1 -- Venus CON Pluto in Capricorn, which is in orb for days in advance.)
It seems like the last few days of November all involve significant Venus influences in one way or another. Venus enters Capricorn on November 26, early in the morning, and that seems to represent the start of the cycle emphasizing and/or featuring the general Venus influence. It should be interesting to see how this plays out. Venus in Capricorn could conceivably be represented by the image of an elderly woman.
