The Cosmic Connection
By Ursula Duffy
Rising sign horoscopes for Nov. 5 – 11
Astrology, by definition, is the study of time and light. It is an art that has been utilized by humanity for millennia to better understand how the cosmos affects life on Earth. One’s personal horoscope, also known as a birth chart or natal chart, is a snapshot of the sun, moon, planets and more at the date, time and location of one’s birth. This snapshot holds many keys to one’s personality and can be considered one’s personal map, guidebook and lesson plan for life! Everything in the cosmos continues moving beyond the moment of your birth and influences your life in various, cyclical ways, according to the rhythm of the sun, moon, planets, stars, and seasons at specific ages. These cycles influence your life and possibly your attitude towards life. The weekly horoscopes provided here in Shore Local Newsmagazine are written based on your rising sign. These horoscopes are intended to provide guidance and insight based on these rhythms and the cosmic connection to your lived experience. So much is written in the stars! It is my intention that these entries will assist you in deciphering what is encoded within you.
♈ Aries: As your capacity for transformation is growing, explore your inner well deeper than ever before. Utilize your favorite divination tool for guidance, and meditate with it this week.
♉ Taurus: As the purposes of your relationships are ever unfolding, initiate a new chapter with a current partner, or try to meet someone new. Intentional change catalyzes your own growth.
♊ Gemini: You’ve probably been recognizing habits that aren’t beneficial to your overall health and wellbeing more than usual. Initiate positive change by shedding what’s out of alignment.
♋ Cancer: Contemplate the adage “feeling is healing”. Your emotions are one of your greatest superpowers. Allow yourself to feel into the roots and tap into their underlying creative force.
♌ Leo: Your roots are revealing something to you, Leo. Allow what’s surfacing to teach you about your identity. Lineage has its place. However, your own authenticity is where you shine.
♍ Virgo: It’s prime time to delve into the source of your thoughts, words, and how you express them. The clearest channel is the one that comes solely from yourself. Attune to your frequency.
♎ Libra: As you continue reevaluating your sense of self and confidence, remember that self-worth is an inside job. Hire or consult with an “emotion accountant” to reveal your blind spots.
♏ Scorpio: “Garbage in, garbage out” could be a useful new mantra for you. The call within continues with another chance for revitalizing yourself. Review carefully anything depleting you.
♐ Sagittarius: Set your sights on discovering a variety of new methods for deep replenishment. You could find a broad spectrum you haven’t yet explored that may offer what you need most.
♑ Capricorn: Consider whether your social spheres support and encourage your own evolution. If so, expand the network. If not, seek out others and opportunities that challenge you.
♒ Aquarius: The spotlight continues to shine on the alignment between your profession and your deepest desires. Set intentions to close any gaps through “right place, right time” situations.
♓ Pisces: The phoenix is your mascot this week, Pisces. Regenerate yourself through regenerating your beliefs and perspectives. Surrender what’s keeping you from soaring higher.
Weekly astrology summary:
Attention to all pre-dawn risers! The first comingling of a newly visible Venus and the waning crescent moon arrives this week on Nov. 7. Look up low on the horizon well ahead of sunrise (6:32 a.m.) to catch the return of these monthly meetups. After its meetup with Venus, the moon continues onto regeneration and rebirth during the Scorpio new moon on Monday, Nov. 9 (exact at 2:02 a.m.). This new moon follows in the footsteps of both Venus and Mercury, beginning a brand-new cycle in the heart of sun enduring in the sign of transformation and transmutation. If you haven’t yet answered the call to delve into and excavate the roots of your most potent emotions and undercurrents, this is the week to embark on the journey into that which lies beneath.
This new moon’s potential is enhanced by having Mars at the helm, currently being infused by and attracted to Jupiter’s huge heart space. Look straight up before dawn all week to see Jupiter and Mars cozying up together as well. Realizing the fruition of your new moon intentions will require surrender and letting go of something preventing the expansion of your heart as Jupiter whispers supportive enchantments into the Scorpio new moon’s cauldron, and Venus and Mars cooperate, giving us an extra boost to initiate positive changes. This week’s horoscopes are focused on the Scorpio new moon; see the above horoscope for your rising sign for more specific insight and guidance.
