MARS URANUS BREAKDOWN OR MASSIVE BREAKTHORUGH! Nov5-11 2023 Astrology Horoscope

Hello Fabulous Friends fans and superstars, welcome to your horoscope for the week of November 5th, 2023. I am your astrologer Nadia Shaw, thank you for being here. It is a remarkable astrological week, without a doubt, big moves happening in the sky now. Boy, is this a very special time. I've noticed an interesting phenomenon that has been taking place as of late for the last few weeks and for a couple more weeks as well. And that is that we have started most weeks with a easier energy, but then we end the week on something big that feels like a crescendo, a big shift of energy that takes place. Now here's the thing, when we have something like that, this ongoing pattern, well it can be rather tiring to us, energetically, certainly psychically as well, because it represents a time of varying energies, but it can be in such contrast and the really big energies we can feel them building that much more, that can be exhausting. And so just like many of us have had to cultivate ways in which to practice self-care, you might want to amp some of that up now as well. If we take a step back, I think of last week it was the end of the week when we had Saturn direct, the week before that there was an eclipse, the week before that we had these Pluto squares, and before that another eclipse. Now navigating forward, we're going to next week end with the Sun conjunct Mars. After that we are going to end the week with Mars, speaking with Saturn, and that is going to be tense in and of itself as well. So you can see here, right, there's a lot going on in the sky. This week though, it is such a wild card and there's just such a buildup of energy. The shift certainly is going to be felt, it will be announced in our own lives in some way. Mars is currently in its home sign, well its ancient home sign of Scorpio, and whenever a planet is in its home sign, it's able to bring forward its best qualities that much easier. In the sign of Scorpio, this is emotional intensity, it is strategy and truth and perception and well a shadow side of it of course can be unfairness and worse, but the more enlightened side of this can be getting to the core of an issue and transforming it from the inside out towards something that is much more honest, more authentic, more healed and better than it was before. Well it is going to be that Mars that stands across Uranus in the sign of Taurus, an earth sign at that, and you put these two together, this is a huge wild card factor. And with Mars speaking to adrenaline and the very suddenness that Uranus represents, well you can see here that very quickly some of us are going to find ourselves spurred to action, perhaps over the top action in the process. It's the last thing that we expect that can come in and have us feeling the last thing we expected ourselves to feel. That's what I mean by a wild card factor, but the thing is that we can feel it building, we can feel like a turning point is up ahead and oppositions of all kinds provide us with that opportunity, a real opportunity to reflect, to understand the varying motivations within us, to address matters outside of us as well and to find our balance within them. Mars opposite Uranus though is an energy of extremes. I do want to be straightforward with that as well. It's emotional, intense extremes, but the surprise quality either is going to represent a big breakthrough rooted in that very core honesty that the energy of Scorpio promises or it's going to go a different way, which is very erratic. I'm hoping that we as a collective of course choose the more enlightened path always and that more enlightened path can really help us in an instant realize what doesn't matter, what is superficial, what it is that we don't need to carry into our future. That realization and the actions we take from that space promise breakthrough energy now. This doesn't need to be a breakdown unless that's what we might need as part of growing something and growing ourselves stronger than we were before. It can be absolute new beginnings that come out of nowhere and what it is that we no longer need to carry into our future, well it could just leave us now. In some cases, well this might be an uncomfortable process. In other cases very quickly we are really relieved and really happy by what it is that has exited our lives and remember it is Mars that represents embodiment, the experience of life itself and feeling a sense of the life energy moving through us and where it is that perhaps we'd carried something that has become a way in which we hide or covers up that very life force, burdens us so that we can't fully bring forward that life force, well that very quickly spontaneously kind of on its own exiting can be a great gift of this time. Ultimately whatever it is that moves us towards greater love and greater wisdom, whatever it is that helps us to live more fully and maybe if we're lucky glimpse some sense of all there is that we have yet to do in this lifetime, well that's when we're using this energy as intended to awaken the life force and to direct the life force towards our own freedom and that of other people as well and freedom from our own regrets, freedom from the things that have weighed us down, the sadness that we felt, the guilt that we've carried but also the recognition of where it is now into the future we actually have power towards positive change that can really help lighten our load that much more and bring with it a renewed enthusiasm to live that much more fully and so the thing is any opposition represents that turning point moment on the way there though especially with these planets chances are we're going to feel that energy building, the frustration, the uncertainty before the breakthrough that can be possible for us now and you know on the way there at least early in the week we've got some really beautiful energies at play certainly some lovely energies of Mercury in Scorpio first connecting in supreme harmony with Neptune and then on Thursday connecting in harmony with Pluto I love these energies because it is Mercury that has to do with mind and making mind level connections it's the energy of intellect and in the sign of Scorpio I think about things like talk therapy right why do we engage in something like talk therapy or even just talk things out I often surprise people at how willing I am to just something's going on something's bugging me if something just happened if I find myself in a situation even if it's someone brand new I will talk it out I can't tell you how many an Uber driver has been sort of a makeshift therapy session for me in some interesting ways I'm sure I'm memorable to some of them out there but I've done this with just about every friend and many professional alliances as well yeah I'm gonna talk it out I want to understand what's going on what am I feeling what are my options and there's something very powerful that happens when we talk with the intention of truth and transformation it is an energy ultimately that sort of stuck in we can call it the lower chakras by talking we raise the vibration we raise the energy to the intellect and there it transforms through our awareness through our willingness to engage with healthy detachment whatever it is that we might be feeling and then that transformed energy is able to then reach our heart and change us in positive ways that's the promise even the magic especially at the beginning of the week that can be on offer to us now you add to this the beginning of the week also holds a beautiful alignment between Venus and Pluto I love this energy because it is given that both planets are in earth signs with Venus in Virgo and of course Pluto in Capricorn sort of these last few weeks it is going to be the first dip into a brand new year that we are going to have Pluto move back into Aquarius we had a little taste of that last year and then in the fall we get Pluto just dipping into Capricorn again for a few weeks but then that's it we're not going to have Pluto in Capricorn again for the rest of our lives unless you know we stay alive for another 250 years and you know why not I'll meet you there for sure so we get these windows right now where Pluto in an earth sign and anytime any planet moves through an earth sign it's going to connect with that Pluto in supreme harmony as is the case now with both Pluto and Venus being in earth signs there's a very embodied even sensual quality to what is playing out with this it invites us to be present for our lives embodied here and now but also to enjoy it to see how it is that joy and love can transform things in a real way and in a practical that's the gift of Venus trying Pluto so we've got these beautiful energies on the lead up and then Friday comes and Mercury changes signs moving into the sign of Sagittarius and very quickly moves to speak with Saturn in a conversation of tension that astrologers call a square it is Mercury in Sagittarius that turns our mind towards more optimistic matters invites us to expand our horizons to think more positively to speak more positively as well but Saturn of course is the reality of the situation but also the limits of how far that can take us and I think that's something that contrast is something that a lot of us are going to have to address in our own lives in some way and certainly when we consider the collective as well Sagittarius is the energy of international relations the foreigner as well and then Saturn of course in the sign of Pisces is the dream and how can we actually manifest it is it even possible to manifest some dream some more enlightened sense of what we could be I think that's going to be part of the conversation as we start moving towards the end of the week where we feel as if perhaps there are things we really want to say however we feel held back or we think it might be a good idea to hold back where there's positivity and optimism we really want to focus on and yet here's the thud of reality taking us in a different direction it can be hard to reconcile those two things and yet that's where our work is individually and as a collective but this happens on the lead up to that opposition of Mars and Uranus and whereas Saturn puts a lid on the optimism of Mercury and Sagittarius it is as if whatever we were holding back whatever it is that we strive to be honest about within ourselves it just gives way to a situation or a moment where we don't want to hold back anymore where we feel as if we're carrying obligations responsibilities and heaviness of our past of tradition maybe of our ancestors maybe when we can now free ourselves from it to truly understand to get to some truth some core understanding can help us to then be that much more open to what healthy freedom looks like for us so I think that collectively certainly considering world events right now but also in our own lives is going to be part of the invitation that finds us now there's another energy that I do want to mention as well we could call this a secondary energy because it involves a asteroid Athena now my dear friend Andy of Wise Ass Astrology I know you've seen him on my channel before I've known him for so many years he's one of the most brilliant astrologers I've ever known and I don't say that because he's my friend although he is but really objectively brilliant guy and Andy is not a fan of using asteroids very much so he tells me about that sometimes like no it's not bad look at the planets right like stay true to the planets is sort of his thing and it's part of his depth of understanding that he's able to glean so much just from the planets but certainly in modern astrology we started incorporating more and more asteroids and there are moments when they do kind of get my attention as is the case now it is going to be on Tuesday that Athena is going to conjunct the south node so let's talk about the creation myth of Athena I think that tells us so much about the asteroid and you know I love those creation myths to help us to understand how this symbol is likely going to speak to us so there was Zeus right Zeus Jupiter and his first wife was Metis now Metis was a goddess in her own right the goddess of wisdom and she actually helped Jupiter to go to his father Saturn and open up Saturn's stomach and release his brothers Pluto and Neptune and this was a myth that I spoke of at length in a very recent week I think it was about two weeks ago so you may want to look at that again to understand that creation myth and of course I do have my book Prayers to the Sky where I discuss creation myths of the major planets now having said that yeah it was Jupiter that was with Metis and Metis was talking a lot right she was giving him a lot of like insights and wisdom and prophecies and things and she was kind of annoying Jupiter with all of this so Jupiter said look enough already please don't go on about your wisdom and things like that I'm gonna do what I'm gonna do she wouldn't stop so Jupiter decides to consume Metis and in consuming Metis she began to talk to Zeus and give him all these prophecies so much so that it became even louder a voice within himself she would not stop talking she kept giving him prophecies he didn't like this and so one day he goes to his son Hephaestus and says help me out with this this person is not being quiet I have such a headache because of this well he takes an axe and he cracks open the skull of Jupiter and out pops Athena fully grown as an adult ready in her own right and in her own power as a goddess and of course when you think about the city Athens it is named after Athena as well and so Athena has very interesting myths in and of her own right very competitive very much about skill and cunning and that being a type of wisdom as well including wisdom in war she's helped out many a warrior through their different battles including Hercules the thing is though she took a lot of pleasure in doing these competitive things that weren't always very nice to others so sometimes she could be part of causing some strife if you will but one of the more interesting parts of her story is that because she emerges fully formed as an adult she is thought to have a measure of maturity and insight and not necessarily ruled by those you know very basic human functions and drives and the primal drives that we might have she's seen as a representative of elevating that energy bringing whatever base energies might be there to intellect so that they transform through intellect into wisdom of which she is the embodiment of so here we have Athena and then we have the South Node so the South Node represents a doorway of exit karmic closures the North Node when activated speaks to the new coming in but with the South Node we have people places things situations leaving when a planet or an asteroid conjuncts the South Node there can be a very notable sense of some transformation and the energy represented by and embodied by that particular planet or asteroid but it can often also represent specific people notable people at that with the South Node we tend to see the crap right this is the dragon's tail whereas the North Node is the dragon's head the head intellect the tail covers the anus it's what we're releasing as a collective as humanity and so I find this a very fascinating connection between the South Node and Athena that is set to take place whether it is collectively that an Athena like figure comes into focus now maybe represents in some way what it is that we as humanity don't really like about ourselves what we might be wanting to release maybe a figure that represents sort of not necessarily an elated presence what we want to move away from in some way these are some possible ways in which this energy can show up for us and that includes in our own lives as well depending on where this conjunction is taking place for you it's going to speak volumes to where you might notice an Athena like figure exiting your life this is about seeing what is less than desirable what we as humanity want less of if we're really going to evolve in positive directions if we're going to evolve towards greater love and greater wisdom that can't happen unless we acknowledge what it is that we are actually working to put behind us and in some way this Athena energy of hyper competitiveness of skill yes which is great and of strategy but it should not be for its own sake it should be for some higher aim we're going to get a chance to see what that is for us as a collective and what it is truly that we are now confronting that maybe isn't working for us navigating forward from here remember the north node is in the sign of Aries the south node in the sign of Libra and Libra is about diplomacy and diplomatic relationships and so we have been seeing how messy all of that can be and what it is for individuals to own their power their light their will and how that can help elevate us that much more recognizing individuality and the blessing that is uh to exercise one's agency one's free will and how that can help all of us is part of the focus of this time especially given the south node in Libra and the north node in Aries with the south node activated I think we are going to have to pay attention in some ways what examples are coming forward of the things that we are wanting to and working towards moving away from what I love about this week for us there's so much here it is a valuable and meaningful astrological moment I am going to say this week it is a bit of a roller coaster right we get that powerful activation of the south node and then we get that real wild card energy at the end of the week my hope is that that energy at the end of the week in some way can free us from burdens it can lead us to no longer want to play games with ourselves or with others to be manipulative with ourselves or with others instead it is an invitation to move towards a breakthrough it doesn't have to be a breakdown unless it is a breaking down of what we no longer need in our life and what we no longer need is ultimately whatever it is that gets in the way of our unique journey towards greater love and greater wisdom it's possible that awareness around what we're moving away from is embodied by a particular cultural figure at this time however I hope that we don't get too caught up in the external as much as that can really scream for our energy at times there's something very powerful when we stop and contemplate instead our own reactions and our own participation in how it is that we are co-creating the unfolding of the universe that sense of co-creation becomes a very active principle and where it is that our actions are grounded in love and wisdom well that becomes one of the ways in which we help all of us move in that more loving and wise direction well thank you so much for watching what do you love about this week let me know in the comments below I love reading you guys and to prove it to
