Transform Like a Phoenix While Mars is in Scorpio

Fiery Mars has come to the end of its time in Air sign Libra, and moved into Water sign Scorpio. This comes just as Mercury retrograde in Scorpio is came to an end, and Mars will finish 2019 in Scorpio (to January 3, 2020). Mars was last in Scorpio almost 2 years ago (December 2017 – January 2018).

Mercury retrograde in Scorpio may have come with plenty of challenges for all of us, but with Mars in Scorpio you get the chance to make things right and get back on track with anything that got derailed in the last few weeks. If you got pushed back, held down, backtracked, or flat-out failed, this Mars in Scorpio transit gives you the opportunity to rise like a phoenix!

Mars in Astrology
Mars is the planet of energy and drive in astrology. In your natal chart, Mars shows what drives you to take action and how exactly you act. In transit, Mars shows what you’re driven with at the moment, where your energy is focused right now, and what you want to take action with currently.
Mars is a highly enthusiastic and excitable planet, and brings this energy wherever it’s touching. This gets channeled through the sign Mars is touring, and is focused for you personally on the areas of life ruled by the house in your birth chart Mars is).

Scorpio Meaning
Scorpio is the zodiac sign of transformation. The natural ruling planet for Scorpio is Pluto, the transformer. With Scorpio, you have to dig deeper and make profound changes. This is where Scorpio and Pluto are different from Uranus, the planet of change (and Aquarius, the sign Uranus rules). Uranus is more superficial in the changes that it wants made, while Pluto and Scorpio want change that is deep, meaningful, and will last for a long time to come.

Scorpio is a sign that takes things seriously, and has an intense, unrelenting focus. Whatever it wants to do, it does it fully, all the way. There is no halfway point for this sign! That allows Scorpio to make those deep transformations.
This sign also comes back from the dead. Not like a zombie though! Zombies have no focus (well, except to eat brains, I guess). Scorpio comes back from the dead stronger, more powerful, more focused than ever before. This sign is connected to the phoenix rising from the ashes, and there is no defeat for Scorpio!

Mars in Scorpio vs Other Planets in Scorpio
Scorpio actually used to be ruled by Mars, so Mars in Scorpio has an easier time handling the energy versus the other planets. This is an intense sign, and it can get a little tricky to handle with the other planets.

The Sun brings this energy into our personalities, while the Moon in Scorpio brings this into our emotional expression, so we can really feel the Scorpio intensity with these two. Mercury in Scorpio can be a little easier since there’s always an outlet for the mind if you can control your focus (it just wasn’t so easy this go around since Mercury has been retrograde), while Venus in Scorpio funnels lots of passion into relationships (which can get a little frustrating if you’re single or lack solid connections!).

Jupiter and Saturn were in Scorpio in recent years (we won’t have to deal with Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto in Scorpio for a veeeery long time!). Jupiter is helpful but can expand on the intensity, while Saturn makes us learn lessons that force us to transform.

What to Transform by Element
Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)
This Mars in Scorpio transit can focus on your emotions. You may feel more deeply and intensely, so transformations for you may be more internal. You may want to dig deeper inside of yourself, let go of some baggage, or strengthen your internal core. Strengthening yourself internally can make you feel like a force!

The Mercury retrograde may have created some challenges for you emotionally, and anything where you feel the foundation has been shaky lately, you can focus on transforming now.

Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)
This Mars in Scorpio transit can focus on your mind. You may be more passionate about your ideas and plans, and can become more involved in your ideas for the future. Transformations that help you make progress with your ideas can be beneficial. You may also feel more engaging, so you can work on transformations that help you improve your relationships and the way you connect with others.
The Mercury retrograde may have brought out issues in relationships or in the way you express yourself, so you can transform now and open up to new solutions.

Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)
This Mars in Scorpio transit can focus on your work, whether your actual professional work and the work of daily life. You can make transformations that allow you to get more done, and to be more practical. Taking things slow and steady can help you make more progress, and you can embark on transformations in practical, steady ways.

The Mercury retrograde may have made it difficult for you to make progress and get things done, so transformations now can help get you unstuck and focused on the right path.

Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)
This Mars in Scorpio transit can focus on the ways you want to bring creations out into the world. Transformations can help you to just get started, and can open up optimism and opportunity. You may feel like you’re seeing the world with fresh eyes, and nothing can hold you back.

The Mercury retrograde may have been the thing to hold you back, but Mars in Scorpio gives you the chance to come back from the ashes, just like a quintessential phoenix!

Mars in Scorpio can be an intense, powerful transit, and this energy can be scary at times. But when you use it to your advantage, it can be an amazing force in your life to help you succeed, grow strong, and rise again. The power is in your hands, in your head, in your heart, in your soul – what will you do with it?

New Moon November 26, 2019

This new moon will be particularly influential on friendships. Sagittarius is a sociable sign, it inspires us to be honest, open-minded, and communicative with the people we love. It also inspires us to move forward with whatever convictions we have, which can sometimes create complications within friendships. But how the November 2019 new moon will affect your friendships specifically will depend on your zodiac sign. Some signs are positively motivated to find harmony socially, while other signs become earnestly motivated to weed out friendships that no longer serve them or change what isn’t working. No matter how your sign is affected, it’s important to trust that this new moon will be a transformative time that will improve your friendships in the long run – with the understanding that what’s in store for us during the new moon might not be immediately positive.

New Moon Meaning

A new moon represents the end of one cycle and the beginning of another new 28-day cycle. Sun conjunct Moon gives an invigorating burst of energy and initiative. So this is an excellent time for making a fresh start, turning over a new leaf, or starting a new project. You can also question old habits, behaviors, and beliefs as you search for new and inventive ways to make progress.

The November 26 new moon in Sagittarius is most affected by Mars opposite Uranus, which is a very disruptive influence. The quincunx aspect creates anxiety and indecision about how to react to Mars anger and Uranus change.

The new moon is also influenced by stars in Scorpio Constellation that bring opportunities for promotion, wealth, and success. But they also indicate impediments along the way and difficulties staying on top.

Mars is in the same place as the October 27 new moon. The October 2019 new moon, also opposite Uranus, had a shocking, unpredictable and erratic influence. It made people restless, impulsive and crazy. Now Mars is reenergizing this extremely sensitive degree, and the November 26 new moon extends that explosive influence for another 28 days.

Pressure to change may come from someone with some power over you, changing circumstances or an unexpected event. You may have to change your routine, behavior or plans. It is important to be flexible and adapt to changing conditions. An adjustment is needed whether you are forced to make changes or you find a different way forward yourself.

If you resist change, become arrogant or disruptive, you will suffer losses or miss out on an important opportunity. Being stubborn or overreacting would also damage your standing and prospects. You don’t need to totally change direction but rather make minor changes or alterations. Do not go too far or be too daring. Otherwise, you may have to start all over again.

Mars opposite Uranus brings irritation, hostility and rapid unexpected change. Anger and resentment can easily boil over into rash actions and temper tantrums. Impulsiveness and disregard of tradition could lead to rebellion, breaking free from responsibilities and obligations.

This explosive energy can cause disruption, nervous irritability, personal attacks, accidents, and violence. So think twice before lashing out and reacting to provocation or frustration. If you must defend yourself against enemies, use forethought and seek guidance. You must be extremely careful if you wish to go on the attack.

Jupiter moves into Capricorn really soon (December 2ndand this sets off the big Capricorn energy we’ll be dealing with for a year. With Jupiter, this is the happy planet, the one who wants everything to go right, so having Jupiter in Capricorn can be of great help!

Jupiter in Capricorn is going to be best for the things you’ve already been working hard at for a while, have made tough but smart decisions with, have been completely responsible and ethical with, and are really invested in. In these instances, Jupiter in Capricorn and the big Capricorn energy is likely to bring great progress, achievement, recognition, or respect.

Capricorn rules our goals, so Jupiter in Capricorn helps with forming new goals for us to focus on. This is often tied to your professional life and career, but it can also be more personal goals. For each of us, the greatest focus will be on the areas of life ruled by the house(s) being toured and any planets being aspected.

If you have planets between about 24 and 27 degrees, that means they’re being aspected by Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto in Capricorn next year (all 3!), and this is sure to be a big, important period for you where you have to simultaneously take responsibility, pursue opportunity, transform, learn, and take control. Not easy, but likely to be one of the most important periods of your life!

Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn are more serious, while Jupiter wants to be lighter. Jupiter is expansive energy at its core, so we do have to watch for the seriousness expanding too much and turning us all sour. If we can keep to the light side, Jupiter can help us to make the most of the energy. So don’t get sucked into the serious! (tip, your natal Jupiter can help show you how you can stay light)

How November 26 new moon in Sagittarius affect your sign.

Though the new moon will allow us to see different things in our friendships, it will be an enlightening time for all. As we head farther into Sagittarius season, we’ll see complications within our friendships become less problematic and we’ll be feeling closer to our crews than ever.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)
This is an important time to broaden your horizon when it comes to the types people you have in your circle. This doesn’t necessarily mean you need to cut people out, rather add new kinds of people in. If you open your arms to people with very different backgrounds, upbringing, or from different countries, you could find that they open your eyes to a whole new world. Consider joining clubs, groups, teams, or classes that have to do with culture, spirituality, or academic interests to find these people.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Taurus is going to be focusing on romantic relationships under the new moon, mixing friends and romance together to unite your tribes. Also put energy into getting to know your partner’s friends if you’re in a relationship.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
The new moon is going to have you focused on long-term partnerships and plans, you’ll be interested in booking a trip with a bestie or joining forces on a professional endeavor. Your friendships are strong and you should feel good about being able to plan ahead together.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Coworkers are very aligned at this time, so you may notice you’re becoming better friends with the people apart of your team, office, or work setting. Lean into this, it will make going to work more exciting and it will be nice to be close to people who really understand what it’s like to work in your profession.

Leo (July 23 – August 22
Leos will be very inspired by adventure during the new moon, so you can expect to get into some fun with your besties who are on the same page. Leos will also be thinking a lot about love during this time, so it might be a good time to find a great wing woman.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Virgos are going to be super focused on their home life and their social life at this same time. This combination of interests will mean Virgos will be hosting dinner parties and hang sessions at their homes, so start planning now. Also mix friends and family together as the universe looks at this as favorable during this time.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)
If you’ve been feeling out of the loop lately, that’s all going to change under the new moon. Suddenly. you’ll have lots of energy to put into your friendships and some great conversations are bound to unfold. This new moon will have you blowing up the group chat like crazy! You’re going to be finding the hottest memes, jokes, and ready for chatter! You’ll be extra talkative at this point in time, so find sizzling ways to stay in contact with your friends even more or send messages to new people you’d like to become acquaintances with.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
You’re probably going to be feeling a bit possessive of your friends at this point in time, but remember: you can’t truly control other people (even if you want to). Take some time to think about your friends and whether or not your morals and values are similar. Part of the reason why you might be having strong emotional feelings toward your friends is because they’re not serving you anymore.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21) Get ready to party, Sags! This is birthday season, so find ways to unite your friends around you to celebrate the past year and the one to come. This is the prime time to reconnect with friends you’ve lost touch with and add new friends to your circle.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Caps aren’t going to be interested in making too many plans during this time, but it’s actually all for the best. You’re feeling the need to lie low, recharge, and rest at this point in time, because you’ll be thinking about who to you give your energy to and whether or not it’s beneficial or healthy. If a secret suddenly comes out that you or someone else was trying to keep, be ready to face it. Sometimes this occurs because you need to release something in order to grow.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Of all the zodiac signs, Aquarius is the one likely to have the best new moon experience. It’s highlighting all of your friends and social life, so it’s an excellent time to go to events or expand your network. So say yes to as many invitations as you please and ride this social energy wave as long as you can.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
You’ve very focused on your career, so you’re going to be most interested in connecting with people who are powerful and on a similar path. It’s OK to want to hang out with the popular crowd but make sure you’re also taking the time to keep in touch with your other friends who are not riding the same career high that you are.

Mercury Retrograde is Over ! (DOING A HAPPY DANCE). When Mercury Retrograde In Scorpio 2019 Ends November 20, What Happens To Your Sign?

If there’s one thing everyone in the astrology world loves to fear, it’s Mercury retrograde. Although it certainly doesn’t signify the world coming to an end, there are plenty of reasons why this transit is seriously annoying. Since Mercury is the planet of communication and thought process, its retrograde tends to cause problems in these departments. Mercury is also a fast-moving inner planet, meaning that it affects your life on a noticeable day-to-day basis. I’ll admit, I let out a huge sigh of relief when I realize any Mercury retrograde is coming to an end. It means the confusion, nostalgia, and disorganization is finally going to start clearing up.

If you’ve been feeling it too, that’s because Mercury has been retrograde since Oct. 31, 2019. Rolling backward through apparent retrograde motion in the passionate, emotional, and secretive sign of Scorpio, this transit has likely unearthed plenty of overwhelming truths. This retrograde has set aside pleasantries to show you your darkest impulses. Scorpio brings up topics such as intimacy, sex, revenge, power, and ambition. If you are still living with unresolved conflicts in these departments, chances are, this Mercury retrograde brought you face-to-face with the past.

Luckily, Mercury stations direct on Nov. 20 and begins writing a resolution to the story that has taken place. It will be a time of answers, revelations, and conclusions. Here’s what the zodiac signs can expect:

Aries

You’re coming to terms with attachments from your past. It may finally be time to let go of something you’ve long held close to your heart. If something has been more of a burden than an asset to your life, it’s time to begin setting yourself free.

Taurus

It’s time to forgive and grant yourself closure from issues lingering in your relationships. Whether you’re finally understanding what happened with an ex, or you’re solving a conflict with your current partner, take your revelations and move forward.

Gemini

You may have faced the consequences of procrastination or a lack of commitment to your daily well-being. Heal your mind and body by forming a new regimen and organizing a plan for success. Even the smallest decisions matter in the long run.

Cancer

There may have be a missed romantic connection from your past that you’re finally coming to terms with. You may have even confronted all the ways in which you prevent your own self from having fun. Get back in touch with your creative spark.

Leo

There may have been some issues relating to your home and family that arose during this retrograde. You’re understanding all the ways in which your private life required your attention. Move forward with a renewed understanding of what your heart needs.

Virgo

There may have been times when you wish you had spoken up. There may have been times when you wish you had thought twice before you spoke. You’re learning the ways your words have power. They can inflict just as much damage as they can liberate you.

Libra

If you’ve compromised your values or neglected your own self-worth, you were likely faced with the consequences. You’re learning that you can’t allow your love for yourself to be dependent on anything else. Know that you already have it all.

Scorpio

You’ve likely been wondering who you are. You don’t have to stretch yourself thin trying to be so many different people at once. You’re realizing the only opinion that matters is your own. Become the person you want to be.

Sagittarius

You’ve been deeply steeped in the past. If you’ve been feeling shame, nostalgia, or a strange combination of both, you’re healing from what went wrong. The past will always be part of who you are, but it has nothing to do with your future.

Capricorn

You might have drifted back to a group of friends from your past or reconnected with a community you may be missing. However, chances are, you left these people for a reason. It’s time to resolve conflicts or set yourself free from these friendships.

Aquarius

Issues relating to your career may have resurfaced, showing you all the ways in which you’ve been denying your dreams or doubting your authority. Come to terms with what you can change and what you cannot, then go forth with renewed confidence.

Pisces

What’s the meaning of it all? That’s a question you’ve probably been asking yourself a lot lately. If you’re not living your life with a purpose, it’s time to find one. Have faith in the present moment and rediscover the reasons you’re grateful for it.

Full Moon November 12, 2019

The November 12 full moon may pose communication and relationship problems because it is opposite Mercury retrograde. But the strongest influence on the full moon November 2019 astrology comes from Saturn sextile Neptune. It has a very strong influence because the orb is only 0°18′. It is exact only four days before the full moon, on November 8.

This is the third and final installment of the major planetary aspects of 2019. It is time to make your dreams come true. Intensified by Pluto and magnified by the full moon, Saturn sextile Neptune helps you bring to completion something you have been working toward all year.

Mars sextile Jupiter gives the strength, courage and good fortune to ensure success. It also gives a great burst of energy to initiate and complete this final stage of your long term goal.

Use this Full Moon to recharge, to practice self-care, to know you are worthy, and to get your finances in order. Open yourself to the gifts on offer, keep an open heart and an open mind, for you never know what treasures may be illuminated under its light.

Taurus is ruled over by the Bull, an animal that evokes feelings of strength, stability, focus, and self-assuredness.

The Bull is also used to represent nature and the idea of spirit energy manifesting into something that is material and tangible.

On its base vibration, Taurus energy can be seduced by the material world and the five senses, but on higher levels, Taurus energy can transcend the material world into something deeper.

It can learn to seek what it is looking for within, rather than looking for things outside of itself.

Under this Full Moon, we are being encouraged to take a similar journey, and to think about where we may be too fixated or obsessed with the material world, or where we are being seduced into thinking that we need have or be a certain way in order to be accepted.

We are being encouraged to go beyond the five senses, and to ensure that our feelings of acceptance, joy, and love, come from within first.

It doesn’t matter what clothes you wear or how much you have in your bank account, or whether you have the latest phone or not, you are worthy.

It doesn’t matter if things haven’t gone according to plan or you feel that you haven’t achieved all your goals, for you are still worthy.

Meditation for the full moon:

Repeat this to yourself 10 times over- “I am worthy, I am worthy, I am worthy to have a beautiful life…”

  • I would love closure on…
  • The most helpful thing I can do for myself is…
  • I can claim my power by…
  • I don’t need to make myself feel…
  • The thing that weighs heavy on my heart is…
  • I want to learn to…
  • I deserve…
  • My wish for the coming months…

How Taurus Full Moon November 12, 2019 Will Affect Your Sign:

Aries (March 21 – April 19):

Aries, this Full Moon will focus on healing and improving your finances. With the moon fully illuminating your personal finance home, you will probably focus on a pragmatic and constructive approach to your current budget.

 Taurus (April 20 – May 20):

With the Full Moon in your sign, you will feel self-centered and motivated to empower yourself. You will focus on your transformation. Growth is essential, and accepting these changes rather than running away from them will allow you to discover a new way to flourish.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20):

Gemini, during this Full Moon, take a day off to relax. Remember that it is essential to take care of your physical and mental health. Do not try to assume a superhuman amount of responsibility, it will not help anyone. Take this opportunity to recharge your batteries.

 Cancer (June 21 – July 22):

Cancer, during the Full Moon in Taurus, your closest circle of friends will be there to surround you with warmth and love. Spend time reconnecting with old friends to keep your spirits up. Resist the urge to stay home and open up to others.

 Leo (July 23 – August 22):

Leo, try to find a work/life balance so you do not become totally stressed. What you do (or do not do) at work at the moment can affect you. But everything cannot change overnight, so be sure to stay regular every day to avoid having to give yourself 200%.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22):

With the Full Moon rising in a sign of earth, you will feel deeply connected to your roots and to the natural phases of the Moon. During this Full Moon, try to meditate to decompress and honor the Moon. A few minutes are enough to allow a moment of spiritual peace and leave you inspired and refreshed.

 Libra (September 23 – October 22): Libra, monitor your bank account during the Full Moon. If you are missing a salary, double-check and ask your boss to send you your late paycheck. Remember to take charge of your finances. Do not miss another lunar cycle with the feeling of controlling nothing. You have the necessary qualities to take control of your life

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21):

With the Sun focused on self-expression and Mercury centered on communication in your sign under this Full Moon, you’ll be in the mood to make your relationships a reality. Love will be in your mind and you will be in the mood to work on some issues with your partner under this Full Moon. Mercury is always retrograde, so do not expect to get your message across exactly as you expect, but honesty and reality are a good start.

 Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21):

You know that stress puts a stop to your natural cheerfulness. Try to free yourself from everyday stress. Stay calm no matter what. Practice mindfulness or anything that helps you stay calm. You know what it’s like to fight, to keep things in perspective.

 Capricorn (December 22 – January 19):

Capricorn, you might feel particularly romantic, probably because that sweet emotional moon is in another sign of the earth. Plan an evening with your partner to have fun during this Full Moon. You will feel vulnerable, intimate and you will open in a safe and positive environment.

 Aquarius (January 20 – February 18):

Aquarius, take the time to relax under this Full Moon. The time has come to take a day to release all the tensions related to work. It is essential to take care of your sanity, Aquarius. There is a difference between giving up your responsibilities and putting them on pause to take care of yourself.

 Pisces (February 19 – March 20):

Pisces, you should focus on yourself and the sense of balance under this Full Moon. Turn off your phone and unzip. You need time to refocus your energy. Life is full of distractions, but let the inspiration that strikes this Full Moon direct the energy towards yourself and your needs.
