The November 2024 Full Moon of 25 Taurus-Scorpio Pt. 3
Written by Robert Wilkinson
- Aspects, Evolutionary Configurations, and More -
As I’ve told you before, we’ve just been through 2 months of “saying goodbye quickly,” followed by a fragmentation bomb. We saw the death of many things after the last Full Moon, and now move into a time of seeing through things and finding a measure of social or emotional “relaxation.”
This Full Moon fulfills the Scorpio New Moon themes, which means we’ve been experiencing a different sort of group connection while stabilizing the circumstances where our spiritual warrior will find expression. We’re now vitalizing the understanding of past Venus and Mercury transits through late Scorpio as we prepare for a form of psychological and/or spiritual rebirth followed by a mobilization.
As this Lunation has the Moon exactly conjunct Uranus, expect upheavals and flashes of genius. This is extremely disruptive, and will further the “genuine rejuvenation” and life renewal we’ve been doing since late April. We’re still making crucial decisions to clear out what we no longer want or need as we continue our “genuine rejuvenation” and life renewal as we find a deeper connection to Source.
We have a fair amount of friction these next two weeks courtesy of the Mercury opposed Jupiter cut into a semisquare and sesquisquares by Mars. This will require seeing the bigger picture, not getting annoyed or aggravated, and sharing information as we prepare for a social renewal.
However, as Mars is also in a configuration of high specialization, there are gifts and blessings to be found in whatever conflict arises. Because the Sun is in Scorpio, keep cleaning out, purifying, seeing to the core, concentrating, and flowing toward finishing what must be finished.
Evolutionary Configurations
This month we have 3 evolutionary configurations, two involving the Lunation and two involving Mars. This month the configurations are:
- As noted Mercury is opposed Jupiter with Mars cutting a semisquare to Jupiter and receiving a sesquisquares from Mercury. This creates three points of an “8 Pointed Star of the Need for Right Action.” This requires that we find a correct response as multiple conflicting forces all push and pull, each in its own way dominant in its area. This most affects planets and points around 1-6 Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius, and Taurus, as well as 16-21 Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces.
- The Moon/Uranus is quintile Mars and Saturn, while the Sun is tredecile Mars and Saturn, Mars is biquintile Saturn and Saturn is quintile Uranus. This fills 4 points of a “10 Pointed Star of Quintessential Serendipity” promising unique circumstances and gifts, “quintessential” experiences with a potential for genius to come forth. The opposition provides “tensional awareness,” and the other planets provide specialization and interactive blessings due to tredeciles being uniquely interactive relationships bringing gifts perfect for our circumstances and circumstances perfect for our gifts. Areas most affected include 1-3 Capricorn/Cancer, 3-9 Aquarius/Leo, 9-15 Pisces/Virgo, 15-20 Aries/Libra, 21-27 Taurus/Scorpio, and 27-30 Gemini/Sagittarius. If you have something in one of these zones, except specialized circumstances, gifts, and blessings these next two weeks.
- The Moon is conjunct Uranus, sextile Neptune, and trine Pluto, while the Sun is sextile Pluto, trine Neptune, and opposed Uranus. This creates a “4 note chord of Harmonic Awareness and Productivity” for any planets or points we have in the late degrees of Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces.
A special nod is given to Mercury biseptile Neptune and the Sun triseptile Jupiter, as each of these 7th harmonic aspects creates “fork in the road” conditions where they fall in the chart. The first creates an influence near 14-18 Sagittarius, 5-9 Aquarius, 26-30 Pisces, 18-22 Taurus, 10-14 Cancer, 1-5 Virgo, and 22-26 Libra. The Sun triseptile Jupiter creates zones near 23-27 Scorpio, 15-19 Capricorn, 6-10 Pisces, 27 Aries-1 Taurus, 18-22 Gemini, 9-13 Leo, and 1-5 Libra.
Major Aspects
Besides the various aspects I gave you related to the evolutionary configurations, forming (or partile separating) inner planet aspects include the Moon quadranovile Mercury and quindecile Jupiter; Mercury is vigintile Venus, quindecile the Sun, quadranovile Uranus, biseptile Neptune semisquare Pluto; Venus is novile the Sun, quincunx Mars, and quindecile Pluto; and the Sun makes only the aspects in the configurations.
Outer planet aspects include Mars making only those aspects already mentioned; Jupiter is trielftile Saturn, quindecile Uranus, and binovile Neptune; Saturn is semisquare Pluto; and Uranus is sextile Neptune and Neptune is in the closest sextile with Pluto in 30 years!
Friction comes from 3 semisquares, 1 sesquisquare, and 1 quincunx. Semisquares are internal friction at the beginning or end of a cycle, and to me represent the irritating metaphoric “grain of sand” in the oyster of our lives which creates a pearl or awareness.
Squares are integrative, while sesquisquares are interactive, annoying and/or agitating, but not necessarily crisis producing. A quincunx always represents an adjust or sacrifice of some sort. Just remember to decrease aggravation when a frictional aspect is in play.
This month’s aspects: In the series related to destiny and “fate,” we find 1 biseptile and 1 triseptile. In the 9th harmonic series related to spiritual realizations, we have 1 novile, 1 binovile, and 2 quadranoviles. In the 11th harmonic series related to spiritual realizations, we have 1 bielftile and 1 trielftile. The specializing aspect series provides us with 1 vigintile, 4 quindeciles, 2 quintiles, 2 tredeciles, and 1 biquintile.
For those new to the craft, quintiles and biquintiles are 5th harmonic aspects, septiles and triseptiles are 7th harmonic aspects, noviles are 9th harmonic aspects, deciles (semi-quintiles) and tredeciles are 10th harmonic aspects. The elftile series are 11th harmonic aspects, the quindecile is a 15th harmonic aspect, and the vigintile is a 20th harmonic aspect. Each of these has a unique function in the phase relationship of the two planets in aspect.
The 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th harmonic aspects are specializing and bring forth partially or fully developed quintessential elements of the planets involved. The novile (9th harmonic), septile (7th harmonic) and elftile (11th harmonic) series all feature spiritual aspects. All novile series (9th harmonic) aspects represent entry or exit points of periods of gestation which can bring forth possible spiritual developments. These aspects indicate things which need to be put on the shelf for a while, or that which has been gestating can now move forward. They represent gestative energies that can lead to great spiritual realizations.
Septile series aspects represent forks in the road of destiny, where we make choices determining karmic future developments. This series is ruled by Saturn, where we create and fulfill karma by our choices during those phase shifts. The 11th harmonic elftile series aspects involve situations where there is a need to transcend and master some form of duality by making a leap of faith. In transcending those dualistic situations, dilemmas, challenges, and thinking, we resolve the problem and learn techniques of mastering those sorts of dualities in the future. This series tests our faith. Both the 7th and 11th series involve non-rational aspect values, bringing an element of irrationality in behavior and circumstances.
The various aspects in all these different harmonic series indicate points where the theme of the Whole Cycle becomes clear, whether through major developments or minor refinements in the process. Each aspect shows a phase relationship, specific to the special and unique circumstances of that particular Whole Cycle. It's how we can know when to work, when to play, when to create, when to imagine, when to have faith, and when to mobilize!
If you want to know more about these aspects, when you’re done here please go to The Specializing Aspects Pt. 1 – Quintile, Tredecile, Decile, and Biquintile, The Specializing Aspects Pt. 2 – The Quindecile and Vigintile, and The Spiritual Aspect Series – The Novile, Septile, and Elftile Harmonic Aspects where you’ll find more about the meaning of these aspects and the glyphs associated with them. Also, remember that all of these set up harmonic resonance void points all over our charts.
The Eclipse Factor
We’ve had a long run of eclipses which continue to affect us. In 2020 we had a Solstice Solar eclipse at 1 Cancer and a December Solar eclipse at 24 Sagittarius. In 2021 we had a June Solar eclipse at 20 Gemini and a December Solar eclipse at 13 Sagittarius. In 2022, we had an April Solar eclipse at 11 Taurus, a May Wesak Festival Lunar eclipse at 26 Scorpio, an October Solar eclipse at 2 Scorpio and a November Total Lunar eclipse at 17 Taurus.
In 2023, we had an April Solar eclipse at 30 Aries, a May Wesak Festival Lunar eclipse at 15 Taurus/Scorpio, an October Solar eclipse at 22 Libra, and an October Lunar eclipse at 6 Taurus/Scorpio. This year we just had an April Solar eclipse at 20 Aries, and this Wesak Festival Full Moon at 5 Taurus/Scorpio. As I explained in earlier articles, all the Lunar eclipses work over just a few months, while Solar eclipse effects last for years.
As you know, I see all eclipses as “cosmic recyclers” removing what we no longer need in the houses where they occurred. All these Solar eclipses, along with others, have allowed us to “shed skins” wherever we have 9, 19, and 30 Pisces, 28 Aquarius, 29 Leo, 10 Virgo, and 21 Virgo, as well as the degrees of the recent eclipses at 1 Cancer, 24 Sagittarius, 20 Gemini, 20 and 30 Aries, 11 and 22 Libra and 13 Sagittarius. As you can see, that involves a large part of our charts! You can find out which Solar eclipses are still showing effects by referring to Astrology in October 2024 - On The Threshold of an Annular Solar Eclipse at 11 Libra which lists which eclipses are done and which are still in play (other parts which followed elaborate on the current eclipse.) That list has links to all Solar eclipses for the past 13 years.
A good meditation would be to take a look back at how something related to those points in your chart ended after those eclipses, and examine how new events, new people, and new life experiences came in those chart areas. All our losses of the past few years associated with these signs have left voids which have attracted, are attracting, or will attract life contents more appropriate to who we are now. Alternately, you may be feeling a void because someone else really isn’t there. Now it’s time to turn to what will nourish you.
Element Balance
This Full Moon continues an imbalance in the elements, with Earth and Water again in the forefront. At this time of the traditional 10 planets, there are 3 planets in Water signs, 2 in Fire, 4 in Earth, and 1 in Air. This makes Earth (Practicality and Grounding) and Water (Feelings and Experiencing Life on Deep Levels) preponderant with a decent amount of Fire (Inspiration and Light) and relatively little Air (Relatedness and Communications).
Air and Earth are “cool” elements, while Fire and Water are “hot” elements. With this distribution, it’s balanced. This should be good for moving with the flow as we find practical ways of moving things forward.
The current sequence at present of Deciding, Feeling, and Thinking
We’ve been through several different sequences over the past few months. There are six patterns, and each has their strengths and weaknesses. This continues the past Lunation patterns until the coming Inferior conjunction in Sagittarius.
For now, as a process of moving through events, the most effective “firing sequence” for approaching life and experience over the next four weeks involves beginning activity with deciding, then thinking, then feeling.
This will help us all to get it in gear, make decisions, and act on those decisions. Once we do our decision or action, these will lead us to a new understanding or vision on the basis of the action. Once we get the understanding, communication, or vision, then we must learn to sit with the feelings and experience them, and get clear about what we’re feeling and why.
So lead with deciding and acting, then move into a vision or understanding, and then name what you’re feeling. That way nothing will get bottled up through underuse, and you can move through experiences with power and clarity.
What do you have to do? Find your vision or understanding you need to execute that decision. Are your actions leading you to the understanding you need? When you find your understanding, then take time to feel the process so you can use the flow to take you into the next decisions and actions.
Saturn: Spiritual Master, Spiritual Friend
Because of its dance with Jupiter, Uranus, and Pluto for months to come, Saturn is a major player in creating dynamic change through letting go of the past, finding a new way to focus our spiritual will with courage and intention. Saturn’s now direct, and with all the unique gifts and blessings promised by the evolutionary configuration Saturn’s in, we’re on our way to utilizing our “camouflage” we might need to do our destiny and continue to receive what nourishment we need. Saturn is bringing us important Piscean lessons wherever we have mid-Pisces in our charts, and important decisions to planets we have in the middle degrees of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces.
Saturn has led us through a major life renewal since June 2023, so continue to follow that compassionate understanding because we must release all we cannot take into the Saturn in Aries phase beginning next year. Saturn brings maturity and structure to Pisces, and so is teaching us to open to the Grace which comes from forgiveness coupled with gratitude. Let go, let God, and let it flow down the timestream.
Saturn, our “spiritual teacher and spiritual friend” in Pisces brings an ocean of water to our Capricorn/Aquarius sectors and any natal or progressed planets we have in those signs. Though Saturn can accompany heavy lessons, it is the part of us which can take charge of our lives and destiny by using Saturn’s virtues in the right way and time. Our ability to steer our “ship of personality” into our higher destiny brings us new parts to play on the stage of Life.
We’re still in a long wave period of saying goodbye to old roles and embracing newer more effective roles to play in the emergent Aquarian era. We continue to master navigating the fogs and illusions of Pisces, finding understanding, Divine Grace, and spiritual power in forgiveness and steering the process of closing out old ways as they present themselves.
We’ll have Saturn quintile Uranus for many months to come, so enjoy the dance of specialization between what has been and what’s emerging. As Saturn gives us a review of the past at this time, Uranus brings us to a threshold of a major life renewal, with major effects to be found in planets we have near 26-30 Taurus, 8-12 Leo, 20-24 Libra, 2-6 Capricorn, and 14-18 Pisces. Unique gifts and blessings bridging past and future are shown for those zones!
I explain how Saturn and Uranus work together so we can take command of our destiny in my book Saturn: Spiritual Master, Spiritual Friend. Saturn helps us understand what we must do to fulfill our unique “destiny of Self-realization;” Its Capricorn qualities teach us how to use personal power within a socially responsible context, while its Aquarius qualities show us how to make a greater contribution to our world and join with others in a great effort “ensouled by a great vision.” Uranus is now helping us renovate our sense of duty, specializing it for our unique gifts, and is now leading us into a a major life renewal in the Autumn and Winter.
The book was written for both astrologers and non-astrologers. Even those with little or no understanding of astrology will benefit from understanding why you had to make certain choices at crucial times that shaped your life in profound ways.
Each time you read any section of this book you will find new insights about your power to throw off all the attitudes and memories which hold you back from finding and living the life and purpose. If you’ve haven’t already gotten your copy, you can go to the Saturn: Spiritual Master, Spiritual Friend page on Amazon and this should be all you need to order your copy. It’s also available on Amazon and as an ebook on Kindle, so if that’s more to your liking, go for it! If you would, whether you’ve gotten the ebook or the paperback, please write a review on the Amazon site, since the more reviews, the more of a boost they give it.
And now, on a related note….
Venus is a key player due to being the Herald for the Sun and Mercury and being the ruler of the Moon and Uranus. She now mobilizes at 5 Capricorn, and will soon move into a trine to Uranus, sextile to Neptune, and then makes a conjunction with Pluto in Aquarius, again furthering the initial pulse set into motion in Dec 2020 with the Grand Mutation Jupiter conjunct Saturn at 1 Aquarius, launching a 20 year Aquarian era and a 200 year era of Jupiter/Saturn conjunctions in Air signs rather than the Earth signs of the past 200 years.
If you want to know more about your Venusian power to shape your relationships into enjoyable interactions and friendships, and why you attracted the friends and Soul Mates you have, as well as learn why some of them had to move on, please consider getting a copy of my newest book, The Magic of Venus: Friendships, Soul Mates, and Twin Flames. It is the most comprehensive book on Venus ever written, and explains why we attract who we do and how to create more satisfying relationships in the future. You will understand the foundations of long term healthy relationships and friendships, why Soul Mates come into our lives, and how to dance with your inner Beloved and mirror that to your world.
It has chapters on the qualities of each sign’s natural mate, the qualities of Venus in each sign, and when crucial choices and changes are made, affecting who we attract in the future. It was written for both astrologers and lay people, and as it has a thousand gems for better relationships, with self, others, and Source, please consider getting your copy by going to the link above! (And when you’re done, please leave a review on Amazon, since it helps the book and all other books on astrology as well!)
Summing it Up
Having “said goodbye quickly” to various things and people and endured a major fracturing these past 2 months, we now get to understand the flaws and strengths of what is while finding clarity about our heart’s desire. This will be a very productive two weeks, with just enough friction to keep us on our toes as we see a bigger picture and find new ways to communicate.
This is a season of leaving things behind once we realize “the center has given way” and there’s no more magnetism holding certain things together. While there are interactive gifts and blessings to be had, and certainly a lot of healing is taking place thanks to whatever has been removed by both the recent Lunar and Solar eclipses, it’s still a tense time filled with friction.
Find confidence through concentration and self-discipline, and find unique angles to approach and deal with things. Enthusiasm needs to be focused without getting agitated that too much is going on. See the bigger picture, and show your healing powers. This Full Moon requires that we synthesize various factors in our life to see the bigger picture.
With Mars in its shadow zone, get as much done as you can, stay connected with Source, and honor your deep feelings which connect you to all Beings. This is a time of enhanced “non-local awareness” as we navigate some temporarily calm waters.
See the deeper elements in Nature teaching you about life passages, quicken to the promise which will be fulfilled in the Spring, and accept the power while also understanding that enlightenment is a verb rather than a noun, and it can be found in relative comfort as well as austerity. Pay no attention to the confusion, dread, or uncertainty as you find the “cloak” you need to go into the world so you are not exposed to the destructive elements now raging.
We’re definitely in the Jupiter in Gemini era as it reviews its path since the Spring. Keep opening to new ideas, revolutionary approaches, and seeing new angles of understanding. This month Jupiter provides chances to compare knowledge and find “source material” which can help us integrate our personalities and live life from the angle of the Higher Self. Jupiter in Gemini helps us see things from many different points of view, find a sense of humor and perspective, and how to imitate to learn and grow.
With so much Pisces and Scorpio, we’re finishing an old collective mindset as the seeds of the future Aquarian global energies sprout. With Saturn and Neptune in Pisces keep cultivating compassion while letting the past flow down the time stream. Keep deepening your connection with your spiritual Brothers and Sisters.
Since January 1 we’ve begun movement into a new world, and been forced to give up lesser things as a greater life presented itself. With each coming year, we’ll see definite movement away from the ideas which dominated the old 200 year Earth Era and see more of the emergent 200 year Air Era launched at the December 2020 Solstice.
This transitional period requires that we ask ourselves certain questions related to our spiritual purpose, fearless as we are One with the World Soul and walk through the world but are not “of” the world. We have been finding new inner strengths and powers the past four years, and learned the spiritual power of gratitude which brought assistance from Devas and Angels. We’re now in a time of imagining new ways to be who we are while serving a greater good.
Forgiving much with compassion for the generic human condition, we are being released from all which doesn’t serve our momentum into our greater purpose. This is the heart of a global acceleration in transforming those who are part of a greater service and group work. Embrace a new identity, a new love, a new spiritual awareness, and a new spiritual expression in grounded ways, so keep your mind and heart open and keep coordinating your body, feelings, and mind to demonstrate a stable and harmonized Soul energy. That's a great part to play as we dance through life's changes!
A Meditation on Light and Shadow
Because life seems to be a never-ending experience of out-breathing elements of the past and in-breathing elements of the new, it is useful to remember that when we are moving through major changes, and something new is introduced into our lives, it means that something else must leave, or has already left, to provide space for the new to be embraced. And lesser wisdom must give way to greater wisdom, and old forms give way to newer realities. As I’ve offered before “enlightenment” is a verb more than it is a noun.
While sometimes having to say goodbye to older, lesser ways of life can be a drag, it is important to remember that even though life can occasionally be painful, we do not have to suffer. And as we learn to break the link between pain and suffering, we heal our part of humanity and the world.
For your contemplation, a final meditation I offer each month at the end of our Full Moon journey of exploration.
We are Light. All things are composed of Light in various frequencies that express as limitless forms. Some light frequencies are of greater density than others.
All shadows result from light hitting a dense object. Psychological shadows too. Therefore, it’s good to become as translucent and translucid as possible to dispel lurking shadows.
If you must look at and/or deal with shadows, whether your own or another’s, then refocus your Light on the object being illuminated, since that form is the source of the shadow.
Find the correct 4 angles of illuminating whatever you want to focus on, and all shadows will be dispelled. Then you’re seeing things with an illuminated mind, and can act accordingly.
