Tune into the astrological trends of November 2024 with Kerry's monthly Vedic astrology forecast.With the deep rumblings of big changes ahead, November draws us inward to clean house, take out the trash, and test drive new ideas before launching. Read or listen to the full forecast.
SUN: The Sun reflects our individual expression and moves from the idea realm to the workshop on November 15th. Early November, we may be focused on social activities, performance, and collaboration with Sun in Libra. When Sun moves to Scorpio mid-month, get engaged for action as the rubber hits the road.
MOON: November sees a new Moon on both its first and last day. Sun and Moon join in Libra on November 1st and then in Scorpio on November 30th, indicating that this month may feel full of starting over and re-set buttons. In between, the full Moon in Aries on November 15th shows us the light and the road ahead.
MARS: Mars spends all of November in the watery sign of Cancer, forcing the powerful master of fire to slog and slosh through shifting waters of emotional sensitivity. This is a great opportunity to delve into emotions like anger and aggression, discovering the vulnerabilities that lie beneath them such that reparations can be made.
MERCURY: Mercury bounces through Scorpio all month, with a retrograde cycle from November 25th to December 15th. November is for deep analysis, doing the math, and communicating difficult things. Fixing things below the surface is crucial at this time!
JUPITER: Jupiter continues in retrograde motion through Venus' earth sign, Taurus. Give away what you don't want and feel the spaciousness of dissolving that which is past. This is a time for gratitude and humbly bowing toward our desire to become more than we are now.
VENUS: Venus manages the relationship department, which could have been a bit chaotic in October. November 6th sees Venus moving into Sagittarius, invoking an exchange of signs with Jupiter through month's end, bringing a twist that looks positive and rejuvenating.
SATURN: Saturn's deliberate pressure may reappear as he resumes direct motion on November 15th, adding spice to the several shifts we see mid-month. Going forward, choose where to take responsibility and put your determination to work as you move toward your goal.
RAHU: Rahu continues to make waves and rock boats in November. With Mars' power concentrated in Cancer where Rahu's gaze does extend, watch out for water element with excess power and energy. Keep the life vest in reach and higher ground in sight.
KETU: The intuitive and mystical Ketu continues to sit in Virgo, receiving the expansive aspect of Jupiter and enjoying some movement due to Mercury's transit through Scorpio. This is a good time to uncover hidden clues and obscure information that leads to liberating solutions.

Tune into the astrological trends of October 2024 with Kerry's monthly Vedic astrology forecast. The theme this month is confronting obstacles and surrendering to transformation. Read or listen to the full forecast at https://www.planetaryinfluence.com/forecasts/2024/Oct
SUN: The solar eclipse in Virgo on October 2nd kicks off the month, closing one door and opening another. Self analysis will help with finding your next steps. The Sun moves to Libra on October 16th, setting us up for creative expression and rebalancing relationships.
MOON: The new Moon in Virgo on October 2nd results in a solar eclipse that allows us to remove blocks after receiving information that helps us to regard situations from a different perspective. The full Moon in Aries on October 17th encourages us to make moves and initiate actions that support us through deep transformation.
MARS: Mars moves from Gemini to Cancer on October 20th, moving our focus from theory to practice as we test newly learned skills. The watery and emotional environment challenges the precision and focus of Mars who relies on clear plans and available resources to execute his actions.
MERCURY: As ruler of the communication and health departments, Mercury moves away from his powerful position in Virgo on October 10th,where he facilitated seeing through blocks and finding a way forward. His quick dash through Libra from October 10 – 29 could help us reorganize and rejuvenate in the background while we are also doing big things on the main stage.
JUPITER: Jupiter enters a four month retrograde cycle on October 9th that may feel like the tides have changed, ebb or flow dependent on personal circumstances. The normal markers of growth or well being may shift during this time, making it confusing to know which way to grow. Fall back on fundamental reasons when doubt arises.
VENUS: Lovely Venus is also taking things from the drawing board to building site, which often involves a bit of demolition and removal to make a clean slate for new creations; this shift happens on October 12th, when vital Venus moves from her own sign of Libra into Mars' less comfortable zone of Scorpio.
SATURN: Saturn continues to occupy his own territory of Aquarius in retrograde motion, which can destabilize Saturn, giving us a chance to move a bit faster and with a lighter step, even when we're doing the hard work. Saturn's reminder is to take responsibility for what's yours and to let others take care of what is theirs, maintaining healthy boundaries so that togetherness doesn't become oppressive.
RAHU: Rahu continues to make waves such that we are being shown the truth in the troughs that has been hidden underwater until now. With the newfound data, we may be shifting our direction based on recently discovering or allowing latent desires to express themselves.
KETU: The solar eclipse of October 2nd gives some folks in the world a rare sighting of Ketu, notorious for the shadowy business of blockages and obstacles in the material realm. Even more glorious is Ketu's association with ascending into the freedom of spirit. What will you do with your newfound liberation?

Tune into the astrological trends of September 2024 with Kerry's monthly Vedic astrology forecast.The time has come to reorganize and steady ourselves as we embark on an eclipse cycle.
9 Planets Summary
SUN: The Sun is strong in Leo through September 16th, but also faces a stand off with Saturn, who could slow things down. Moving to Virgo mid-September, the Sun enters the eclipse zone, continuing the potential for disruption and sudden change.
MOON: The New Moon in Leo on September 2nd pulls us inward to pause, cleanse, and re-set. The full Moon of September 17th in Pisces will fall under a partial eclipse, challenging our perceptions but revealing the inner wisdom that leads to our true desires.
MARS: Powerful Mars moves through Gemini in September, focusing on efficiency, education, travel, and health improvements. What has been stuck may begin to move with carefully applied force.
MERCURY: Recovering from the August retrograde cycle, Mercury moves into Leo on September 2nd with a new set of skills to keep on track with an eye for self-improvement. On September 22nd, Mercury rides into his own sign of Virgo, looking to help with any fallout the eclipses may cause.
JUPITER: Jupiter continues to inflate the earth signs from his station in Taurus, which could especially benefit the eclipse energy coming from Virgo. This is the year for practical lessons learned!
VENUS: The first half of September sees graceful and connective Venus struggling to flow, being forced to find new channels for creative expression. On September 18th, the flow may become a bit easier as Venus moves into her own sign of Libra for a rejuvenating respite.
SATURN: Retrograde motion of Saturn in Aquarius continues in September, giving us an advantage as the pressure may have lifted slightly. Move forward, add good things into your daily routine, and realize that taking care of yourself is an act of caring for all life.

NINE PLANETS SUMMARY
SUN: Until June 14th, the Sun transits Taurus, absorbing and beaming energies of connection and exchange. Sharing is caring! Sun passes into Gemini June 14th urging us to keep up momentum on our chosen projects.
MOON: New Moon in Taurus on June 6th. Plant seeds, eat well, settle in and get ready to move, all at once. Full Moon in Sagittarius June 21st brings our attention to upward tragectories as we experience intuitive mental clarity.
MARS: Mars transits Aries June 1 – July 12. It's time to execute plans and make changes. Focus. Don't waste energy on frustration, and do the work. The only thing we can change in the outside world is our own reaction to it.
MERCURY: Mercury moves through Taurus, enters Gemini on June 14th, and then leaps to Cancer on June 29th. This means that we may be able to cover lots of ground, network, practice our stuff, and socialize! Don't forget to nourish yourself as your skip into Summer.
JUPITER: Jupiter's desire for expansive growth beams through the Sun in Taurus as June begins. Find a few seeds to plant and nurture, establish roots in new ventures as we shift from plans and ideas to implementation and building.
VENUS: Venus has disappeared in the brilliant light of the Sun. Our muse and connective force is backstage, finding new expressions of beauty for the next act. Time to doodle and noodle as we let creative juices flow into new channels.
SATURN: Saturn continues to plod through Aquarius, applying light pressure that reminds us to keep it slow as we humbly do the needful. This message may begin to vary as Saturn assumes retrograde motion from June 29th – November 15th.
RAHU: After a very exciting six months of interaction with other planets, Rahu gets some alone time in Pisces. The boat may still rock in the waves, but less. Let this relatively quiet time open up space to explore desires.
KETU: Ketu in Virgo continues to be the anchor, reflecting in meditative practices, retreats in nature, and body-mind practices that ground us as the world turns, the seeds sprout, the waves get choppy, and our enthusiasm reverberates.
