The completion of a trine between Mars in Sagittarius and retrograde Eris in Aries indicates the finalization of a contest during which we ‘campaigned’ for the sake of our self-interests, driven by strong motivation and an enterprising spirit. A quincunx from the Sun in Scorpio to retrograde Jupiter in Gemini shows an adjustment in personal power according to ‘returning’ opinions and feedback on our performance. Venus in Libra’s semi-square to the North Node in Scorpio (sesqui-quadrate South Node in Taurus) implicates how cooperation and validation of others can tip the scales for us in this regard and also influence our future prospects based on how well we did in the past. As Mercury stations retrograde at 4:18 Sagittarius at 6:03 pm EST, a period of reviewing plans, agendas, connections, matters related to communication, mobility and locality or surroundings and re-conceptualization begins. Mercury will trace his steps back to 18:10 Scorpio, where he will turn direct on November 26, which corresponds to a time when we will take our introspection even deeper to evolve our thought process and consequently be able to see the bigger picture. With the waning Leo Moon in square to the Scorpio Sun for the Third Quarter Moon event at 7:35 pm EST, the accompanying crisis in consciousness is a test of character as we respond to life’s renewals (keyword of the Sabian Symbol for the Libra New Moon) that challenges us to overcome any childish and egotistical tendencies together with a sense for drama and extremism.

Tarot card of the day is the “3 of Pentacles”, a card that refers to encouragement due to cooperation and collaboration. Teamwork and planning are the essential ingredients toward the achievement of our goals. We’re taking the next step toward becoming established. Improvement of our situation and success are possible if we apply the necessary effort and show persistence.

in Sagittarius and retrograde Jupiter in Gemini, which perfected today, ended a phase of intensified efforts toward gathering support for our mission that is aimed at an empowered position, whereby we faced inner and outer conflicts through our encounters with others and the confrontations we had to deal with as we tried to stand our ground, get our message across and convince others of our viewpoint (p. ex. the presidential contenders made a final push for crucial votes). The long-awaited and prepared for moment of truth or reckoning has come now.  After the Moon’s ingress to Leo at 2:39 pm EST and instant quincunx to retrograde Neptune in Pisces, we’ve been rather self-centered, however had to adjust personal longings to common ideals and a unified vision first.   

Tarot card of the day is the “Knight of Wands”, suggesting that an important matter is likely to enter our life and demand our attention. Therefore, we have to be ready to react quickly and to go with the flow. Our present situation will soon change and we have to make important decisions. Consequently, we’re charging forth with ideas and visions to make things happen, while tackling any challenge that stands in our way. It is important that we show ambition, are high-spirited, strong-willed and determined and take calculated risks.

Personal Note: I was at work all day long and then met with a client for a reading, which didn’t leave me any time in the evening to work on my unfinished ‘issues’, especially since I had to get up early this morning for another long work day. As usual, I’m quite behind with many things (I was also busy with the translation of the essay for my niece the night before), but I cannot complain as long as I see some results for my efforts.
