Mars-Pluto square * Mars-Uranus conjunction * Aquarius New Moon * Listener Chart * Free Session Winner * More!

Martian intensity bookends the first half of February. This period opens and closes with intense Mars-outer planet aspects: a Mars-Pluto square and a Mars-Uranus conjunction!

November 1-15 2018: Jupiter Enters Sagittarius (#481) Nov 15, 2018

Show notes

Jupiter enters Sagittarius * Uranus enters Aries * Free Session Winner * Mirror Image Double Yod * Scorpio New Moon * Listener Chart * More! Jupiter entering Sagittarius is only one of several impactful events involving slower planets in the first half of November. We also have Uranus retrograding into Aries and an extraordinary Mirror Image Double Yod incorporating seven planets! All that, along with a Scorpio New Moon and several more powerful aspect patterns, gives us a lot of astrological juju to work with! Our listener chart features Jennifer, whose Jupiter is being lit up by that amazing Mirror Image Double Yod. Jupiter rules two of Jennifer's angles -- her Descendant and Nadir -- so this stimulation has far-reaching consequences!
