The main Astro news this week is that Saturn is direct on Saturday 4th November.
Saturn is the planet of karma, you reap what you sow. Saturn is about working hard, keeping boundaries, keeping time. So this is a good reminder to work hard , especially in the creative fields. Saturn will be in Pisces until May 24th 2025. Pisces is linked to creativity and spirituality, but also illusion and anything that helps our brains delude itself. There have been warnings in Astrology fields that drugs will be prolific during this time, both prescription and recreational drugs. So if the words of the Verve song resonates with you: “now the drugs don’t work, they just make you worse”, the antidote with Saturn in Pisces is music, poetry, films, art, dance and all things creative.
The Moon for the week
On Wed, Thur, Fri the Moon will be in Cancer from 10.30pm tonight for 2 and a half days, this often means we feel like snuggling up at home, maybe hiding in our shell and protecting ourselves and family.
On Sat and Sun the Moon will go into Leo on Saturday around 8am: this moon energy is good for socialising, being outgoing , being ‘Leo- like’ and allowing yourself to shine and be seen.
On Mon the Moon will go into Virgo on Mon Nov 6th at about 2pm: good for organisation and self- healing.
The major story of the week
Saturn stations direct at 0 degrees Pisces on Saturday November 4th around 8am. Saturn stationing direct at 0 degrees is like having an exclamation mark after it.
Last time it stationed in Pisces was in June, when the submarine disaster was all over the news. Trapped in a submarine and not being able to get out is a Saturn in Pisces image.
Mars is all in Scorpio , so both malefic (Saturn and Mars) in water signs (Pisces and Scorpio), so watch the water, watch boats ! Maybe some of this crazy weather linked to this aspect? Saturn tries to have boundaries, Pisces hasn’t got any. Boats are boundaries for water.
Other aspects:

This is good fortune, success, increased happiness, not a full moon, but a full ‘Jupiter’. BUT be careful – any greed, unthankfulness or boasting can result in embarrassment and lowering of your self -esteem.
