Planet transits discussed by Marga; “November promises to be an exciting month marked by several powerful activations…”
A man of awareness knows that life is constantly changing. Life is change. There is only one thing permanent, and that is change. Everything else except change, changes. To accept this nature of life, to accept this changing existence with all its seasons and moods, this constant flow which never stops for a single moment, is to be blissful. Then nobody can disturb your bliss. It is your hankering for permanency that creates troubles for you. You want to live in a life with no change, and that is not possible – you are asking the impossible.
A man of awareness becomes courageous enough to accept the changing phenomena. In that very acceptance is bliss; then all is good, then you are never frustrated because in the first place you never asked anything.
Osho, No Man Is an Island, Ch 31
November promises to be an exciting month marked by several powerful activations, and above all by Mercury and Venus returning to direct motion, together with a shift in the nodal axis.
These developments will bring themes and situations activated in previous months and weeks to completion. At the same time, this is a transitional period in which some processes can resume their course, while significant changes in the collective configuration prepare the way for a new direction.
The Channel of Recognition 41–30 remains active until November 23, defined by Pluto, now moving direct in Gate 41, Imagination, and the North Node in Gate 30, Desire.
The most significant change of the month concerns the Lunar Nodes, which on November 23 leave the 30–29 axis, Desire/Commitment, and move to the 49–4 axis, Revolution/Mental Solutions, with the North Node in Gate 49, Revolution, and the South Node in Gate 4, Mental Solutions.
This shift changes the collective emotional backdrop, directing attention towards a new configuration: on the one hand, Gate 49 challenges the principles and values on which our shared lives are built, opening the way to a possible transformation of the rules we live by; on the other, Gate 4 seeks answers and explanations through logical thinking. This axis brings to the forefront the tension between the need to renew what is no longer sustainable and the need to understand change rationally.
Mercury begins the month retrograde in Scorpio, moving through Gate 1, Creativity, in the Self Center; Gate 43, Breakthrough, in the Ajna Center; Gate 28, The Game Player, in the Spleen Center; and Gate 44, Patterns, also in the Spleen. On November 14, Mercury turns direct and retraces its path through Gates 28, The Game Player; 44, Patterns; 1, Creativity; and 43, Breakthrough.
Mercury’s retrograde journey invites us to move from reviewing the past to investigating it more deeply, revisiting ideas, insights, and patterns from the past and exploring them from a new perspective. As Mercury turns direct, what has been examined can open up new directions and possibilities for expression. The areas Mercury moves through relate to creativity, self-discovery, and the possibility of making a substantial contribution through commitment.
Venus remains retrograde in Libra, moving through the Spleen throughout the month, from Gate 50, Values, to Gate 32, Duration. On November 14, Venus turns direct and retraces its path through Gates 32 and 50.
As Venus turns direct, it accompanies a period of reassessing values and relationships, helping us restore balance in matters that may have resurfaced from the past and recognize what is worth preserving and carrying forward.
Mars continues its direct journey through Leo, moving through Gate 7, Uniformity, in the Self Center; Gate 4, Mental Solutions, in the Ajna Center; Gate 29, Commitment, in the Sacral Center; and Gate 59, Intimacy, also in the Sacral Center, bringing action and dynamism infused with warmth and presence.
The slower-moving planets maintain their positions: Jupiter remains in Leo and enters Gate 29, Commitment, in the Sacral Center on November 2, leaving Gate 4, Mental Solutions, in the Ajna Center; Saturn is retrograde in Aries in Gate 17, Following, in the Ajna Center; Uranus is retrograde in Gemini in Gate 20, The Now, in the Throat; Neptune is retrograde in Aries in Gate 25, Innocence, in the Self Center; and Chiron is retrograde in Aries in Gate 3, Beginning, in the Sacral.
Throughout the month, the Sun and Earth define the two Channels that occur every year in November. These Channels are activated by Gates that are also Programming Partners, meaning they occupy opposite and complementary positions in the Mandala: 43–23 and 20–34.
November 1–16 – The Sun in Gate 43, Breakthrough, and the Earth in Gate 23, Assimilation, form the Channel of Structuring 43–23, which will set in motion the conception of new long-term projects.
November 22–27 – The Sun in Gate 34, Power, and the Earth in Gate 20, The Now, form the Channel of Keeping Busy 34–20, which will help consolidate certain steps towards bringing to fruition what was set in motion earlier.
November 23 – The Lunar Nodes shift from the 30–29 axis to the 49–4 axis. This change dissolves the Channel of Recognition 41–30 and marks the beginning of a new phase.
November 28–30 – A collective Reflector field begins, with NO channels defined.
The month closes with these three days of a collective Reflector field, a phase that invites us to observe and sense the collective landscape from a different perspective.
After the changes that have unfolded throughout the month, this final phase offers space for receptivity and observation, allowing new possibilities to emerge without immediately forcing a particular direction.
