Venus’ ingress to Sagittarius on the 16^th, Mercury follows a few hours later. The conjunction of Venus and Mercury is completed on the 22^nd of November, when Mercury supersedes Venus. The Sun ingress to Sagittarius also on the 22^nd (8:22 UT). The Moon in Scorpio navigates the scene, attempting to pull together in uncertainty. Mars in Gemini is at the stress point of the Neptune/Ceres opposition aspect. The goal could be to incorporate generational diversity with more empathy. The soul of the world may be at stake. With Saturn in Aquarius, we learn about history as well as make history for the future. Saturn is doubly approaching a trine aspect with Mars in Gemini, as it doubly separates from the square aspect to Uranus retro in Taurus. Four planets and Chiron are retrograde on one half of the sky, Jupiter turns direct on the 24^th.
