From the Desk of Leslie Marlar, Nov. ’24
Star Guild met on the 22nd. We got so involved with the upcoming election that we went way overtime. A chart for 10 pm on election day, has Trump’s chart and the chart of J.D. Vance rising. Taurus is at the top and Leo is rising. Both men have the same Rising and Midheaven. A closer look shows Mars in Leo, representing Trump, rising, and Aquarius, her Saturn sign, descending. The symbolism of signs moving up or down in astrology tells us a lot. When Kamala won the Senate in ’16 she had Jupiter in her Sun sign, Libra. Now Trump has Jupiter in his Sun sign.
We’ll meet next month on Skype on the 26th at 6 pm and try to see what we did right or wrong.
Events happened in October.
On the 1st, under a New Moon Solar Eclipse in war sign, Libra, Israel moved into Lebanon and Iran shot 180 missiles into Israel.
On Oct 7th with the Moon in legal sign Sagittarius, the Supreme Court started its new session.
On the 9th, Milton made landfall on Siesta Key in Florida and then traveled across the state. The Moon was in Capricorn opposing violent Mars in wet sign Cancer. There were over 100 tornado warnings. Extreme Pluto was at the Midheaven and this happened under the 1st quarter of the Moon.
On Oct 10th with the Moon still in business sign, Capricorn, TD bank was charged with money laundering.
Around the 18th, a power failure started in Cuba and lasted for days. There was a T square between the Sun, Pluto, and Mars. All three relate to power and energy.
On Oct 17th a Full Moon in Aries happened very near the Full Moon in Aries that Kamala was born with. I think the shift was becoming more obvious.
The big event in October was the campaigns and us voting. Interplay between the Sun and Mercury in Libra, Mars in Cancer, and Pluto in Capricorn at various times during the month described cardinal conflicts.
On Oct. 26th Israel retaliated for the Oct. 1st missile attack from Iran. The Moon was in Leo. This is the most important sign in the Israel chart. Their chart has the Moon, the Midheaven, Pluto, Saturn, and Mars in Leo.
In November we note planetary activity.
Pluto continues to connect well with Neptune and Uranus and this brings us a sense of integration at a deep level. This continues until week 4 when Pluto goes back into Aquarius and stays there until 2044. This placement will bring on the future.
Mars is in Leo for most of the month and is creative in this fire sign.
Jupiter is square Saturn at the end of the month and shows powerful things in conflict. From a personal standpoint, we should study all the details involved if we try to start something new.
The Sun in weeks 1, 2, and 3 is in Scorpio. This brings intensity into our lives. In week 3, the Sun opposes Uranus and brings new vistas but also the unexpected.
The Sun in week 4, Mercury for most of the month, and Venus in weeks 1 and 2 are in Sagittarius; this makes us upbeat and adventurous.
While in Sagittarius, the Sun will trine Mars and add energy to us. Mercury, while there, will square Saturn in weeks 1 and 2 and oppose Jupiter in weeks 3 and 4. The first period could brings delays and the 2nd a need for good judgment. While Venus is in Sagittarius, it squares Neptune and makes love mysterious.
Venus is in Capricorn in weeks 3 and 4. At this time we will want the worldly best in love and beauty, like designer clothes and successful partners.
Mercury goes retrograde on the 25th, so, let’s focus.
New Moon in Scorpio on the 1st and 2nd is a new transformational start.
Full Moon in Taurus on the 14th and 15th brings a culmination in finances and natural interests.
Fairly good days are:1, 2, 6, 11, 19, 20, 25, & 26.
