This month expect a lot of emphasis on your possessions and how you feel about them as well as various other things, which will ultimately effect a change in you. At work behind the scenes in all this is a long-term aspect between Saturn, planet of responsibility, authority (including your father), obligations and delays, and Uranus, planet of surprises, disruptions, unexpected events, and rebellion. These two planets are in opposition with Uranus in your 6th House of work, health and pets and Saturn in your 12th House of inspiration, dreams, and spirituality. It seems like it would make a lot more sense to have Saturn's responsibility in your 6th House of Work and Uranus' spontaneity in your 12th House of inspiration, but these two are reversed. However, in opposition like they are, the energies of all entities blend. An ongoing trend that is even the topic of articles in magazines these days at a higher rate than usual is the quest to find more satisfaction in your work and career. If you've placed a higher emphasis on earning money rather than doing what is soul-satisfying, this is going to create an increasing level of discomfort and restlessness over the next year or so. Due to the house placement for Libras, it's going to hit you a little harder, though this is not necessarily a bad thing. In reality, you'll be getting a little extra assistance than most others, except for your polar sign, Aries.

This Saturn-Uranus opposition has been moving into position for quite a while and will be exact on November 4. This is not the end of it, however, because retrograde motion comes into play, meaning the exact opposition will occur two more times, once on February 5, 2009 and again on September 15, 2009. Thus, for almost a year, these planets will be strolling along out there stirring things up in this area of your life. This month on the 3rd, just before the exact opposition, your Sign Ruler, Venus, will position herself exactly between the two, forming a T-Square. She'll be in Sagittarius, your 3rd House of short journeys, thoughts, and neighbors.

If you think of the opposition between Uranus and Saturn as a see-saw, then think of Venus as the fulcrum between them, stabilizing the two in their back and forth motion. This stabilizing factor in this context could be as simply as your thoughts or involve your neighbors or neighborhood in some way or even a short trip. At any rate, consciously pull it all together like the Air Sign you are and see what you can make of it. That Saturn-Uranus aspect will be in effect for a long time, so this is just the prologue, but like with all interesting stories, the beginning is important and if the saying "you finish like you start" has any bearing, what you think and do about it now is likely to be very influential in placing you on the proper path.

Right around this same time Mercury will sextile Pluto, which will provide a mental power-boost to all this by unearthing old situations that will give you additional data to work with. Since part of the job - spiritual satisfaction dilemma is typically the ability to earn enough money, how we handle our finances is a big issue. Libras like beauty and nice things so sometimes you find yourself with the proverbial "champagne taste on a beer budget" situation. If you've been deluding yourself with rationalizations, expect a sanity check in this regard during this same time. Pleasant thoughts the stimulate your creativity are all out there along with some pleasant times with friends, neighbors, or loved ones. A short pleasure trip is also possible. An annoyance due to a minor breakdown is likely around that same time with male - female relationships just a tad irritating as well.

From November 10 - 13 even more emphasis on your possessions and finances are likely, though pleasures can figure in there as well since these are all positive aspects being formed as the Sun strolls through your 2nd House, which rules all these things. It looks as if something may come up on the job that brings some financial benefits, or perhaps you'll go out of town and thoroughly enjoy the excursion, even if it's work-related. Your home has a lot going on and this will have an effect there, as well. You may run into a past lover, either in reality, memory, or dreams, that unearths a few thoughts and feelings that were never properly resolved, in which case you're encouraged to do so at this time. Home and job are going to be connected in a way that creates opportunities. This could be as simple as bringing in a treat from home or entertaining some coworkers or working from home. If your creativity has exceeded the realms of reality expect a sanity check. Likewise, if your views or actions toward your children, lovers, entertainment, speculation or ego have been delusional, a reality check will surface with that as well. The Full Moon on the 13th will culminate something that either relates to a loan, sex, or a personal transformation of some sort.

Coming up between November 16 - 18 is another burst of mental activity as Mercury interacts with several outer planets. This information will pertain to that long-term work versus satisfaction dilemma. It will be useful and possibly even bring some opportunities your way, perhaps in the form of money-making ideas. If any of these ideas aren't feasible, that will also come your way quickly. Your home is an important sanctuary these days and you should spend some quiet time pondering how it contributes (or should) to your peace of mind. Around the 25th, more thoughts and ideas should come your way, so listen up. The New Moon on the 27th will emphasize this further, so pay attention to what you come up with or consider during this time. Once again on the 28th, your work and homelife could blend in a favorable manner. Ambition and energy to set ideas into action are available on the 29th with some solid inspiration available within your home environment on the 30th. Something especially lucky or pleasant is likely to occur at home at that time.

Another long-term influence that is changing this month will be the ingress of Pluto into Capricorn, your 4th House of home environment. If this sounds a bit familiar, it's because Pluto went into Capricorn back in January, but fickle planet that he is, he went retrograde a while after than such that he threw it into reverse and returned to Sagittarius to wrap up some unfinished business, which for you would have manifested in one of your major ideas, short trips, or neighborhood activities. As he moves into Capricorn, this time to stay until November 2024, he'll be performing some major forensic activity in your home environment. If there are any skeletons in you closet, they will come out. Also, it might not hurt to get a home warranty, as things like plumbing, electrical, termites, and various other hidden problems in your home tend to come out during that time.

This month has a lot going on at home, work and inside your head. Be aware of the dynamics around you and deploy your antenna so that you understand that's going on. The Universe is very patient and if you miss something the first go-round, he'll make sure you have another chance to figure it out. However, some things are less than enchanting the first time, much less the second, so be aware of what the zodiacal tutoring applies to and implement it in your life at a reasonable rate as repeating classes can be a bore, even though we inevitably get more out of it the second time.
