Guest guest Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Dear Friends, Here's my latest offering. It's best read according to your Vedic ascendant(if known), otherwise I have included the sidereal Sun sign dates. best wishes and wellness to all, Chris K. November 2005 Monthly Vedic Horoscope General There are a number of extremely powerful configurations in the sky this month. First, Saturn turns retrograde on the 22nd (JFK fans take note) in Ashlesha, the nakshatra associated with serpents, poisons and deceit. Great -- what's for dessert? What makes this particular Saturn station more potentially troublesome is that both Mars and Rahu will be aspecting it -- a trio of malefics working together on their nefarious plans to thwart human happiness on planet Earth. Certainly this suggests that more global disasters will be forthcoming involving water or liquids since Saturn is in Cancer or perhaps toxins of some kind due to the influence of Rahu and Ashlesha. I wonder if avian flu counts as a toxin? On a personal level, the planetary stress of Saturn can be seen in terms of structures or life or routine of life coming unhinged. While patterns of behaviour are part and parcel of human existence (we are all creatures of habit at some level), some structures cause an undue amount of pain and suffering. It is these patterns that are need of changing. Perhaps this month, we'll see the beginning of some of that change to come in the future. Mercury also stations this month (on the 13th) in Scorpio in the nakshatra of Anuradha. Scorpio rules poisons (oh, dear) and loyalty while Anuradha is linked to maintaining friendships (whatever the cost) and insider patronage. Just to make matters even more interesting, however, Mercury stations within just one degree from the unnverving aspect of Rahu. This may be a time when friendships are tested and will get some people into trouble. (like current residents of the White House, for example) So the middle of the month is going to be a time where communications and the best-laid plans are more likely to go awry. To add further spice to this autumnal stew, Uranus stations on the 15th, a day after Mercury. Fortunately, it is not in close aspect to any other planet. Still, it adds to the volatility of human affairs at that time. So go slow, anticipate change, and expect reversals in plans and opinions. It should be a very interesting time. ARIES (Apr 13 - May 13) This may be an appropriately hard-hitting month for the Ram, but nothing you can't handle with the usual deployment of assertiveness and initiative. At times, you may feel as if you're caught in the crossfire as Mars moves backwards in Aries, especially in the first half of November. Since Mars transits Bharani for most of this month, relationships and female sexuality may occupy more of your attention now. Go easy with partners on the 7th in order to get the full benefits on the 17th. This middle part of the month will probably be pretty intense and more active than usual. It might feel a bit like surfing on waves that are a little bigger than you're used to. If you can summon the courage, you can rise to the occasion. TAURUS (May 14 - Jun 14) Support comes from all sides this month as Venus moves into Sagittarius. A mysterious benefactor may do you a favour that allows you to see reality more clearly. Your attention will be more directed towards the transcendent realm now, especially where it pertains to healing and longevity. When Venus transits Purvashada after the 11th, be careful not to to caught up in the endless chase for status. Self-indulgence is more likely now, and ostentatious displays may end up have an opposite effect on those they are designed to impress. An unusual social situation around the 17th may require some quick action to prevent embarrassment. GEMINI (Jun 15 - Jul 15) You may be infused with the competitive spirit this month as Mercury makes its long stay in Scorpio for the retrograde station. As typical of the fleet-footed twin, you will avail yourself of all possible instruments in the planning and execution of your strategy including the unorthodox and the original. Try to avoid going overboard as even victories may come back to haunt you if they are won in an inappropriate manner. Partnerships generally go excellently now and significant others prosper. Mercury transiting Anuradha in November may bring in contact with people of widely varying backgrounds. Some caution is called for around the time of the station on the 14th as Rahu aspects Mercury. Think before acting. CANCER (Jul 16 - Aug 15) The sky can be unforgiving sometimes but rather than feeling cosmically punished, it might be better to welcome new challenges that force you to grow. Saturn stations in Cancer on the 22nd so the energy of the Great (Malefic) Teacher will be front and centre in your life now. Saturn here may cause a questioning or doubting of oneself. Don't resist self-examination (since it's futile, after all), but try to go through your own motives as methodically as possible. An added wrinkle is that Saturn is in Ashlesha now, so there is the possibility that the situations you confront may involve some element of deception or unscrupulousness. Get it in writing, stick to routines, and follow the directions. LEO (Aug 16 - Sep 15) You're at the top of your game now, as your charm and generosity are winning friends all over town. November may go down in your diary as one of the best months of the year. The first half of the month will be a good time for creative projects, especially if you are artistically inclined. Assume the best about your audience so you can be bold and inventive with your ideas. Some setback or awkwardness is possible around the 7th, however, as opposition comes from a respected party. The second half of the month will bring you in contact with education and students in some way. Find a way to tap into their youthful energy on the 24th. VIRGO (Sep 16 - Oct 16) With Mercury stationing in your 3rd house of communication this month, you will be probably be spending more time than usual exchanging ideas, especially practical ones as they pertain to the workplace. As Mercury transits Anuradha now, contacts with foreigners, either through business or travel, will play a key role. The risk here lies in the middle of the month when you may fall in love with the complexity of your own plans. Resist the urge to plan everything and allow for spontaneity and making a place for the input of others. A meeting with an authority figure around the 24th may inspire you. LIBRA (Oct 17 - Nov 15) A huge reservoir of energy is at your disposal this month as Venus moves through Sagittarius. This is an outstanding time for initiating all kinds of things, from taking up new artistic hobbies to learning new software programs. One interesting dimension here is that you are likely to encounter learned females, especially while travelling. Siblings may also figure in your life more than usual, and by all accounts they will be very successful. On the 17th, a work-related meeting may have romantic overtones that causes some awkwardness. SCORPIO (Nov 16 - Dec 14) Mars continues its backward journey through your 6th house this month. Hard to pretend it's going to be all sweetness and light, but then getting down to business rarely is. It's likely that you will be doing your fair share of toiling now. The workplace may be a little more stressful, especially in the first half of the month, as you may find your way of doing things isn't as popular as you hoped. As Mars transits through Bharani, willpower will be your best ally as resoluteness now will pay off in the future. Some income or benefit from a foreign source is likely around the 17th. The end of November looks less tense and generally easier going. Healing may become a central theme now. SAGITTARIUS (Dec 15 - Jan 13) As Jupiter has now moved into Libra, you can look forward to income and gains coming more easily. Friends may be the source of these good times as they provide assistance, especially for artistic pursuits. Venus transits Sagittarius now too, so love and happiness will be ever-present. Since Jupiter is transiting Swati, there may also be an altruistic or humanitarian element to your activities this month. Participating in fund-raisers is one possible expression of this energy. Timewise, look for your good luck to arrive on the 7th. Activity levels will increase in the latter half of the month. CAPRICORN (Jan 14 - Feb 12) This is a time when you will feel the weight of Saturn most. Saturn stations on the 22nd in your 7th house, which may compel you to confront long-smouldering relationship issues. As Saturn moves into Ashlesha, there is a tendency for affairs to exhibit a measure of deceit or secrecy so make sure your conscience is clean when communicating with partners and spouses. Travel and foreigners may also figure prominently now. The synchronous multi-planet pattern on the 17th involving Saturn, Mars, Rahu and Ketu may make you a karmic offer you can't refuse. You can negotiate through the storm of energies by relying on friends to see you through. AQUARIUS (Feb 13 - March 13) When the going gets tough, tough Aquarians get going. With Saturn stationing in your 6th house of service on the 22nd, expect to have work responsiblities to take up much of your time this month. You may be called upon to confront some of the boss' shenanigans now too, as leadership may come up short on a number of counts due to Saturn's passage into Ashlesha, the nakshatra closely associated with deception and moral compromise. The middle of the month may bring good news however, and proves that somebody up there loves you after all. PISCES (March 14 - Apr 12) Now that Jupiter has moved into Libra, you may be spending more time this month unravelling mysteries and diagnosing unusual problems. On the whole, November looks pretty good. Money may suddenly appear out of nowhere, and you will experience more than the usual amount of beauty, affection, and kindness either through the arts or exposure to charismatic females. Work life should be generally favourable but since Jupiter transits Swati now, expect some unpredictable or changing demands being made on you. The 7th looks good for cash and friendship, and in the last week of November, an expected return from a forgotten investment pays off big.
