November = CHANGE
The astrological aspects and events this month support BIG life changes. On Friday the 5th of November there is a new Moon supermoon, and on Friday the 19th, there is partial lunar eclipse. Both of these major astrological events set the tone for the whole month.
A supermoon occurs when a full Moon or new Moon take place during the Moon’s closest approach to the Earth. New Moon supermoons don’t get the attention that full Moon supermoons get because they aren’t as visible from the Earth. Despite their visibility, their influence is strong.
New Moons bring change, new beginnings, and the opportunity to manifest your dreams. With the Moon closer to the Earth than usual, this is a great time to really own what you want, take whatever opportunities come your way and go for it!
There will be other powerful aspects throughout the month that will continue to support the changes you’ve always wanted to make. To really push things along, we have a partial eclipse of the full Moon in Taurus this month. Lunar eclipses bring what is no longer serving us to the surface for clearing. This is a great time to consciously choose to let go of any attachments that are weighing you down and holding you back.
Journalling is one of the best ways to embrace the energy, opportunities, and changes that November brings. Try the tips below to make the most out of this month…..
Make a list of 10 goals you want to achieve this month.
Write down a list of intentions for this month.
What is one thing that is no longer serving you? Write a goodbye letter to it releasing your attachment. ( The letter is just for you and the Universe to see)
How can you shift your routine to make your dreams more achievable? Create a “schedule” for the month.
Make a list of the things you are passionate about. How do you get to express them and enjoy them? How do they fit into your life?
Is there any area of your life that feel negative or stressful? Write down ways you could better manage it.
What aspects of your life feel well balanced right now? Write down how you can use this to better influence other areas of your life.
Which relationships in your life need tending to? Make a list of ways you can work toward improving this relationship.
To make changes takes courage, belief in yourself and in your value. As you are astrologically supported this month to finally get what you’ve always wanted, know that YOU DESERVE IT!
This is your time to fly! The Universe has your back!

MARS
Passion - Energy - Assertiveness - Anger
Mars is the planet of sex and desire. It also governs motivation, aggression, and drive. Your fighting style, your sexual drive and desires, your courage and your vitality are all expressed by your Mars sign. Interestingly, Mars is also the planet that governs surgery, so if you are ever going into surgery it is wise to note where Mars is placed at that time.
Mars gives us many clues as to what we want from a partner, and paired with our Venus sign gives us a deeper insight into our love life. Under each sign below, I have also mentioned what each Mars sign looks for when it comes to a partner.

Lunar Eclipses
Letting Go
Friday 19th November 2021
Did you know that eclipses whether solar or lunar always happen in groups of two or three?
Astrologers call this an eclipse season and it is a time of powerful stir ups. They bring up situations that accelerate our growth and things often happen very suddenly. Doors open or obstacles are thrown in our path and it all feels out of the blue.
Lunar eclipses bring about the end of a cycle.
Whenever there is a lunar eclipse our subconscious is awakened and what no longer serves us is brought to the surface to be released. Quite often this happens with no intervention on our part. It is also a great time to release ancestral karma, generational lessons, and trauma.
Shake it off!
To ease the tension of letting go during a lunar eclipse be active. Shaking up your physical energy helps to release whatever is rising and needs to be cleared. Think of the physical movement as shifting it along.
