Practical Astros Podcast

Each month Mandi Rae Trott and I get together to record the astrology for the month ahead.

This is our 30th forecasting video together!

Enjoy the month of November

Highlights of the month in notes:

Early November:

* Venus sextile Jupiter (around Nov 3–4) -an opportunistic aspect, a “honeymoon” phase, potentially building on themes from August 17

* Mercury cazimi at 12° Scorpio (Nov 4) -may bring revelations or alchemization of information, this day may inspire your inner tinkerer or detective

Mid-November:

* Scorpio New Moon (16°) -ruled by Mars, approaching Jupiter and the South Node, suggesting themes of survival, vulnerability, and coping with truth

* Venus sextile Mars (around Nov 10) -a “final push” or “blood flow” moment before Venus stations direct

* Mars-Jupiter-South Node conjunction (around Nov 16–19) -a high-tension period, especially for fixed signs, potentially echoing themes from the August 12 eclipse

* Sun square Mars/Jupiter/South Node (Nov 17–19) -a “skip step” toward Aquarius goals, requiring the release of old desires or karma

Late November:

* Sun ingresses Sagittarius (Nov 22) -bringing a more whimsical, bard-like energy, though Mars is at the anaretic 29° Leo, which can feel clenchy or impulsive

* Full Moon in Gemini (Nov 24) -is conjoined with Uranus, suggesting unexpected events or “trickster” energy, especially around Thanksgiving travel

* Venus sextile Jupiter (Nov 28) -the same aspect we began the month with, potentially offering a healing moment or salve on a wound as this time, it opposes Chiron

* Sun trine Saturn (Nov 30) -might be felt as a back to work signal after the holiday

Earlier this month, Mandi Rae Trott & I recorded a video for her YouTube channel on the Venus Rx. Now that we are approaching the midway mark of this retrograde, I wanted to share the audio for a relistening party. The first hour is our conversation of the journey, that we’ve all currently just lived through. The Cazimi is happening this week, which marks the middle of the Rx.

How have the last 2 weeks been and do they align with the themes that we talked about?

The second hour of this conversation addresses what is ahead of us currently.

Taking what has transpired and what is to come, you can begin to assemble an idea of what the cazimi may bright forward in your mind.

Comment or repost this if you’ve got a Scorpio planet & if you want to share your experience of this retrograde October.

Spell it,

Christa
