Astrologically Speaking: November 7 - 14, 2011

MARS OPPOSED NEPTUNE Natural forces, convergences, and random events will ignite imagination, anger, and weather. The hardest hit are heads of state, community leaders, and corporate executives. Idealists and egomaniacs are also at risk! It's best to remain flexible and keep a sense of humor but also use a firm hand on the wheel. This time is especially volatile for those born August 15-20 and February 14-19, but also May 15-20 and November 14-19.

November 6 END OF DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME: Sunset comes an hour earlier and it catches everyone off guard. This inspires a bit of primal fear of darkness with some imbalance, but it can also bring people together for consolation! It takes about a week to adjust circadian rhythms.

November 8-12 THE FULL MOON: This time frame gives options to interact with elitist or special interest groups. Each group holds unique rewards but those who wish join should prepare custom-made campaigns and apropos contributions. On the flip side, a few scary scenes during this full moon inspire a worst-case analysis reflex. A good reason to study tragedy is to glean pointers on how to avoid it. Put another way: advance troubleshooting is something lucky people do habitually!
