Scorpio Horoscope for November 2012

This is an interesting month, Scorpio, a time of deep learning. From the time of the Full Moon in your opposite sign at the end of last month, you have been exploring your relationship potential from the inside out, seeking within yourself the true basis for partnership with others. You are concerned first and foremost with making a strong stand for yourself. With the advent of November's powerful Solar Eclipse in your sign, you enter a period of reflection and dedication, trapped in your process with no way to escape or even a need to. You can take best advantage of this internal cast of mind by absorbing the lessons of this time period with relative grace, staying as open as you can to all your possibilities.

As the month begins, you are feeling more optimistic than ever, in this your birthday time of the year. This is coupled with a strong push that comes up from deep within you that you simply be yourself right now, no matter what. The sense of your unique contribution, based on your own particularities – independent of conditioned values and consensus thinking – has been growing in you lately, most recently spurred to a new high-water mark by the recent Full Moon from the end of October in your opposite sign.

This signaled a time for reaching out to others in your life in a new way. You are passionate about conveying your thoughts and your values to others around you now, perhaps even just a bit too passionately and intensely coming on. This is a natural consequence of the release of pent-up energy that comes from hidden places inside you which are only just in these last few months coming forward. There are deep changes taking place within you regarding world-view and self-expression, so that by the end of this year you may find that you hardly know your former self, another way of looking at what the Mayans foretold so long ago, that the world would enter at this time upon a new age.

This connects also to the outlines of ancient trauma coming forward into the light, a phenomenon that corresponds to the prominence of Chiron in your sector of creativity and self-expression. This can translate to the notion that old wounds be released in order that you might feel completely free to grow and to evolve, expressing yourself in a come-as-you-are party of your own devising. These wounded places inside you, representing the residue of events that took place in early childhood when you were to young to handle their pain, have likely been walled off from your conscious understanding for all these many years and are only just now making themselves more generally known to you.

There is a predisposition to push these feelings under the rug again, as too painful to really look at or really acknowledge, but you benefit greatly when this tendency is resisted, for only then can you integrate these lost parts of your psyche and be prepared to move beyond them. In this you are aided by a powerfully intuitive sense of what you now need to do, as symbolized by the presence of Uranus in your sector of the discipleship to your higher self.

There is a collision right now in your solar chart between Uranus and Saturn, that cautious maintainer of the status quo that tends, in the opposite direction from Uranus, to hold fast to what has previously been the only way. Saturn occupies your identity sector and is also powerfully placed, triggered by the outer planet placements of this potent end-of-year time. Only you can choose, case by case, how far to go forward with your evolutionary arc of development and where to hold back. In one way the stakes for you are huge, but then again, for every misstep there is also the secure knowledge that you will soon find that you have another opportunity.

Detailed Monthly Forecast

With the Last Quarter Moon of Tuesday, November 6th, you are coming to a different lunar phase and a more definitely low key and self-reflective one as well. This is traditionally a time of second-guessing everything that has gone before this point of the cycle, attempting to take a fresh understanding forward into the coming New Moon phase; what seminal astrologer Dane Rudhyar called a crisis of consciousness. This intelligent reassessment is aided and abetted this month by the retrograde of Mercury, also signaling a time of inward meditation, a search for more profound answers than have been offered thus far to the primal questions such as who am I and what am I really up to here? Mercury rules your solar sector of deep exploration and personal evolution, and as well of intimate connection with others, and since it makes aspects to Neptune and to Uranus as it retrogrades, this is a particularly deep and philosophical time.

The Solar Eclipse and New Moon in your sign of Tuesday, November 13th, brings fresh energy to your quest for more complete knowledge and better understanding. This is a time when a quantum leap forward is possible although with Mercury Retrograde, rather than conquering worlds of outer achievement, it is progress on the inner levels of your psyche that will more likely be made. You are ready to make a strong stand for soul-level commitment to a way of life that will take you beyond your present set of limitations to further growth, as tricky as it might prove to be to break through these barriers. Like any record-setting event, the first time is the hardest; once you know that you can do it why then it just seems to become easier to repeat.

With the First Quarter Moon of Tuesday, November 20th, you come into an interesting time of potentially greater tension and trials of character. All these factors become further emphasized, including the recognition of trauma held somewhere deep inside you. The recommendation is to stay steady in the face of difficulties with faith in cosmic powers to see you through. Like a good parent or teacher, the universe will not hand you anything that you are not at some level ready for, although it might feel like a stretch at times.

When the Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse settles in, on Wednesday, November 28th, it might come as a further example of tough love on the part of the surrounding cosmos. This is in many ways a difficult time for you, when you must face up to what you have not previously been able to acknowledge, but when also the help is there for you to rely on, if you have the courage to reach out to receive it. Partnership is vital for you now as you strive for the highest and continue to work with what is coming down.
