There are 20 exact cosmic connections this month and they are split down the middle between easy and challenging aspects. Most of the aspects are made by the personal planets of Sun, Mercury and Venus which is quite normal as they are swifter moving.

There is a major transit though that occurs on 15th November and will influence many lives from 10-20 November. It involves a square between Saturn in Libra and Pluto in Capricorn and is the first of three such connections, with the second in February and then finally August 2010. Generally life is more challenging during this transit as many need to move out of their comfort zone and incorporate deep change. Often it can feel that you may have to move into unchartered territory and this can be daunting - but this is the time of Scorpio and it fits well. It is time to remove some excess baggage, have a major clear out that ultimately can result in a healthier perspective towards financial and economic matters, both personally and globally. It challenges things that are not structurally sound and already in the last few days, before this aspect occurs, there have been some balcony collapses, such I guess safety concerns may also be aired and ultimately changed. This time can coincide with a breakdown and some changes could be expected in employment. This can also bring a battle of wills between two strong-willed people.

Mercury enters Scorpio on 16th for about 3 weeks and this is an ideal time for travelling, setting up future study for 2010 or even arranging holidays. The Sun will also enter Sagittarius on 22nd and remain for 30 days but the energy lifts from here. Sagittarius is more positive and optimistic energy and generally a more social atmosphere begins to come over daily life.
