November 2015
All times are set in Eastern Standard Time (EST). V/C means the moon is void of course and it is in between signs. It is not the best time to make plans because they rarely turn out as planned. Some aspect details are by Cafe Astrology.

Venus 24 Virgo 03 conjunct Mars 24 Virgo 03 at 8:10pm: Highly passionate and creative energy. This is the time to express our needs, passions, and desires. This conjunction has that "love at first sight" effect on some people. Venus is romantic and Mars is passionate and impulsive. Both planets are in Leo making it an even better time to express yourself creativity. Using art, writing, especially anything that puts you "center stage" singing, acting, open mic etc... for an outlet.

Mercury 2 Scorpio 10 semi-square Jupiter 17 Virgo 10 at 9:25am: We experience information overload, and we neglect to consider details. People tend to exaggerate today. Monotonous mental tasks are harder to take under this influence. Our minds are restless.
Wednesday Nov 4th: Moon enters Virgo at 9:22pm.
Mercury 4 Scorpio 32 semi-sextile Saturn 4 Sagittarius 32 at 7:46pm: Focused. Detailed. You analyze details until you completely understand a subject. Of course it has to be a subject that you are interested in, if not then your work will be messy since you won't put as much energy into it.
Thursday Nov 5th: Sun 13 Scorpio 25 sextile Pluto 13 Capricorn 25 at 11:01pm: A time of resourcefulness and strength of will. This is a time to enjoy yoga or meditation. Through these activities you'll be able to find answers from deep within yourself.
Friday Nov 6th: Mercury 7 Scorpio 04 trine Neptune 7 Pisces 04 at 8:39am: Imagination and intuition run high, and are involved in decisions made today. We are in the right place at the right time.

Sun 18 Scorpio 22 sextile Jupiter 18 Virgo 22 at 9:17pm: Periodically good opportunities and benefits come to you, and assist you on your path in life. These "lucky breaks" are not frequent but they are very helpful. You usually are able to distinguish the real opportunities from the unrealistic ones or the scams.
Wednesday Nov 11th: New Moon in Scorpio at 12:47pm. Veterans Day. Happy birthday Rocky! Hope you have an amazing day. This new moon in Scorpio is strong and intense. It is time to planet our seeds. The Sun and Moon are aligned letting us get to the bottom of reality. Scorpio brings out what is hidden. There is also increased psychic awareness. The sign of Scorpio can be secretive, creative, and even destructive. This new moon is for a renewal which could be life-altering. We need an emotional cleanse, some alone time to explore the depth of our souls. The Sun is conjunct the Moon and Mercury. Healing and transformation comes through speech, thinking, and communication. The communication could be from self-talk. Thanks to the Moon/Jupiter sextile we are able to see the "big picture" and decisions are made that focus on the future. A hard aspect to Uranus brings unexpected and sudden changes rooted to old unresolved issues. Venus conjuncts Mars giving us growth and happiness in love. Venus sextiles Saturn making it a great time for someone to propose to their significant other. Relationship decisions made under this influence are good for long term commitments. Other than the Venus/Saturn sextile there are no other interferences from Saturn. This makes a really good new moon to manifest, especially regarding health, wealth, and happiness. Jupiter offers luck, optimism, and generosity. So get out a piece of paper and make a to-do-list.

Sun 25 Scorpio 31 semi-square Venus 10 Libra 31 at 11:53pm: An uneasiness from within can surface. Look for a solution to find peace with your uneasiness. It is better to find a solution than try to fill it with superficial things.

Friday Nov 20th: Mercury enters Sagittarius at 2:43pm.
Venus 13 Libra 45 square Pluto 13 Capricorn 45 at 9:02pm: Sadly sex related crimes happen a lot under this square. Intense emotions and passions could lead to jealously and possessiveness. New relationships should not be started at this time.

Mars 6 Libra 46 sextile Saturn 6 Sagittarius 46 at 12:19am: Great aspect for organizing. You should be seeing results through your hard work.
Mercury 6 Sagittarius 53 conjunct Saturn 6 Sagittarius 53 at 11:57pm: Strong concentration and focus. Possible business travel. New projects dealing with communication. Beware of worrying too much or being too critical.
Wednesday Nov 25th: Moon enters Gemini at 12:15pm. Full Moon at 5:44pm. Celtic Tree Month of Elder begins. This Full Moon in Gemini will be a bit difficult and restless. Gemini moons are easily changed by outside influences. Communication is important. Instead of focusing on new things, this is the full moon to fine tune what you started under the new moon. It is also a time to tie up loose ends. Positive thoughts, words, and actions as well as hard work is what will get us through this trying moon. Saturn squares Neptune making us feel guilty, anxious and maybe even depressed. There are possibilities for setbacks and disappointments. It will help to keep this in mind and prepare ourselves so we don't to get too worked up. This moon is about the truth. We need to get to the root of all things. We need to come to terms with any unresolved problems and fix them if we can. If we meditated on the hidden aspects of ourselves during the new moon then we probably already know what to work on. This influence lets us have an objective look at our relationships, find out what isn't working for us and what is imbalanced. The Sun/Neptune square makes it hard to get motivated. We'll have to fight through it. Mercury sextile Mars will give us a little more drive that we will need. Mars sextile Saturn gives us success through hard work. Plan out your actions then go for them. Anyone with personal planets in air signs (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius) as well as Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces will be extra sensitive to the full moon.
Elder - The Seeker
November 25 - December 23
Elder archetypes among Celtic tree astrology tend to be freedom-loving, and sometimes appear to be a bit wild to the other signs of the zodiac. In younger years you may have lived life in the fast lane, often identified as a “thrill seeker.” At the time of your birth the light of the sun was fast fleeting and so you take the same cue from nature. You are often misjudged as an outsider as you have a tendency to be withdrawn in spite of your extroverted nature. In actuality, you are deeply thoughtful with philosophical bent. You also tend to be very considerate of others and genuinely strive to be helpful. These acts of assistance are sometimes thwarted by your brutal honestly (which you openly share solicited or otherwise). Elder Celtic tree astrology signs fit well with Alder's and Holly's.
Celtic Elder Tree Meaning
The elder tree ruling time is within the cycle of the thirteenth moon. This is also the end of the old year at the time of Samhain. This is where the elder derives its symbolism of endings and/or death.
In this same vein, the druids and ancient Celts recognized the elder had natural banishing abilities. The essence of its leaves, and the odor of its pretty white flowers were proven to ward off pesky insects. This origin might have been expanded upon in Celtic lore where we learn branches were hung over doors to ward off evil spirits.
Right on the heels of its associations of banishment and death come the elder's attributes of rebirth and renewal. The elder earns these symbolisms honestly as it has long been recognized as a prized medicinal tree. Everything from bark to berries has been used to treat all manner of ailments. The ancient Celtic people recognized its healing abilities, and honored the elder for the gifts of good health.
Symbolic Celtic Meaning of the Elder Tree
- Death
- Cycles
- Rebirth
- Renewal
- Creativity
- Regeneration
- Transformation
The elder tree is known as a transformative Celtic symbol because it is associated with the realm of fairies. Celtic lore indicates that if you stand near an elder tree at Midsummer's Eve the land of the fairies will be revealed to your searching eyes. Furthermore, fairies love music - particularly the lulling notes of a flute made from elder wood.
