if we want to make change happen if we want to implement something that is going to ensure that a situation end up differently then what is the most reliable responsible tactical practical action that we can take today tomorrow next week next month and so on hello and welcome this is the astrology of the week ahead podcast I'm your host an astrological bestie channy Nicholas and in this episode we are talking about the astrology of the week of November 11th which is very loud and it's very disruptive and it is talking about change it is signaling
something that is about change and also about innov and updates but in the most practical way possible I really need us to understand this it's not change once it's not some big disruptive thing and then everything is different I mean maybe the astrology is is talking about that maybe the astrology is reflecting that but what I think it really wants us to look at and think about is that if we want a change in our own lives and if we want to be part of making let's say a positive change in the world if we
want to disrupt something if we want to stop something if we want to interrupt something then what can we do that is excessively practical to make our way towards that end goal and by practical I mean something we can do repeatedly L right because I can maybe like jump off a cliff once but I'm not going to do that every day so in a way part of this week's astrology is that big motion towards change or that big kind of situation that is a a one-off and then another part of the astrology is telling us
that okay maybe that thing is happening and that is something that is quite dynamic or eventful or really was very unpredictable it was unforeseen fine but what can we do to work with the moment what can we do to facilitate the energy culmination of the moment towards a change that we most want to make again it's a disruptive week so I want us to think about how do we work with disruptive moments so that they can be benefit the things that we want to take hold and to take shape in the world you might have
guessed this is a full moon week this week is home to a very disruptive full moon in Taurus now on one level the moon loves to be in Taurus that's just always true and a full moon in Taurus can signify a moment that is really stabilizing however this full moon Taurus is sitting right next to the planet of instability and of change and of disruption Uranus so we know that we have an excessively practical full moon on our hands because that's Taurus's deal Taurus is like okay this is what I've got how do I make
it work in a steady steadfast reliable practical way how do I make this garden grow season after season after season year after year after year how do I build this thing into a gorgeous blossoming Orchard so that's the vibe of the full moon but because it's sitting right next to Uranus there's something here that's like okay well I've got to change the way in which I do this I need biodiversity I need to be engaged in a really Dynamic way with the resources is at hand and perhaps how we've been building something this whole time
just doesn't work anymore and so I need to be really Innovative I need to be experimental with the resources that I have again in a practical kind of way I keep harping on that word because the ruler of this full moon is Venus Venus rules Taurus so Venus is the planet we look to to get more information about this particular full moon and its setup so we know this full moon is disruptive we know this full moon is somehow loud or shocking or bringing an event that is about change now Venus is sitting in Capricorn
Venus moves into Capricorn on Monday so we're already getting a week that begins with a shift in tone as soon as Venus moves into Capricorn the planet of love and beauty and connection and Justice and social cohesion is making a square to the nodes the nodes are where eclipses happen so when a planet makes a conjunction sitting next to crosses over or a square that's a friction kind of aspect to the nodes we know that something here is happening that's important to pay attention to that has to do with the nature of the planet itself
so Justice relationship women fem lgbtqia folks and social cohesion in general right so people that represent Venus or the people that Venus represents or the issues that Venus represents which is Justice which is like what are the scales of Justice how are they out of whack how are they in in place now because Venus is also ruling the South node where we just had an eclipse on the 2nd of O October because Venus is ruling the South node there's something here that is really important to pay attention to about the justice that is not happening
or the loss of something that has to do with the scales and being in and out of balance in our collective experience in our world Etc so this week hearkens back to the thing in a way that happens around the beginning of October end of September beginning of October now because it also rules this full moon and within you know 24 hours it makes a square to the nodes and this full moon is also so disruptive it's a doubling up of information here that says this week is pivotal in terms of the Dynamics that are
going on in regards to just Justice equality women F and how we relate to each other so on a personal level big relationship stuff can come up this week and then on a collective level what are the stories about Justice and Injustice what are the stories about women and gender Equity situations events circumstances what are we learning about what happens in the shadows because eclipses the nodes is where eclipses happen and they're about Shadows so Venus is triggering something about that setting something off so I think that this will be a week that does have
big headlines about Justice the pursuit of it women fem gender equality gender inequality gender issues if you will I rolled my eyes for those of you that can't see me those of you that are not watching this on film because there would be no need for gender Equity if we lived within systems obviously that were at all Equitable so it's the system we want to focus on how does a system strengthen the harm that gets inflicted on those marginalized by it so as always as I like to let you know and people are like why
do you always say that I think it's important I am recording this in the past I'm recording this in September of 2020 2024 that's the year it is and i' like to say that because I want you to know I'm not commenting on the news that's happening in the moment because I don't know what it is I can look ahead to see what this astrology looks like and I can say like okay that looks disruptive that looks like a situation that looks uh like it's going to be an important moment for what is Justice what
is getting disrupted but I don't know the outcome of say last week and say any kind of Elections or any kind of counting but I do know this Venus moves into Capricorn on Monday it means business it's excessively practical it is wanting to get the job done it is moving towards the goal hopefully in a way that's like stylish and pleasurable and wonderful but on Tuesday Mercury who is currently in Sagittarius and is in its pre Mercury retrograde Shadow phase because it will station retrograde on the 25th of November which is not that far away
13 days away so Mercury is in the zone where it will will travel back to Mercury is making a square to Saturn now mercury in Sag is not a good counter because sag likes to go on a Mythic Quest it doesn't really want to tell you all the specific dates or all the specific weight or all the specific details because it's more about the whole vibe of the tail you know what I mean it's Mythic it's not detailed so if we need to count something when Mercury is in sagge we better double triple check which
is something that Tuesday says Tuesday says at this detail is off incorrect go back to the beginning so it does seem like something that we're counting or recounting or telling does get fact checked or there's something here that is a stop it's a no and now I go into this in great detail in your individual readings in the channy app for for premium subscribers because it's a very important know for us personally I want you to know where Sagittarius is in your chart because this is going to happen two more times in December and there's
an important thing we need to curb in our life right now this is not the time to take everything on in the part of your life that contains Sagittarius the part of your chart that contains Sagittarius and the part of your life that it is symbolizing so it's good for us to strip it down now because we know Mercury's about to station retrograde on November 25th and be retrograde for the first two weeks of December so we're headed into a bit of a cluster F situation so we don't want to overpromise or be over Mythic
in our tals we want to stick to the data and the details and it also says something again it's like we get sent to the principal's office or we get a kind of like no that's not the right tally I don't know who that's good for I'm recording this in the past I don't know who this is bad for I'm recording this in the past I'm just saying it looks like the numbers get stopped or the data gets stopped or there's something here that says no Then on Thursday Saturn the planet of no and halting
stations direct so that's a good situation it's not a bad situation it's not bad when Saturn's retrograde it's a review but when it's stationing direct is signaling something else can move forward and the situation also gets very crystallized so Saturn is about the structure it is about what is correct it is about critical information it is about thinking critically and it is about the the shape and the form of something usually the structures we live within so Saturn is pulling Focus here which again I do think is helpful in terms of getting things right I
just don't think that mercury in its pre- retrograde detriment situation is good at getting things right that need to be detailed so that's part of the setup then on Friday the full moon happens big loud little chaotic maybe big chaotic full moon because it's sitting next to Uranus the planet of again experimentation outof the blue situations big disruptive news headlines for us personally it's sitting in Taurus a very fun very fertile very Lush sign so it's about understanding what to do with the abundance of our life with all that we've produced and how to work
with our resources in the most innovative ways okay this is the landscape this is the garden this is the reaping that we've done what do we do with the produce what do we do with the product what do we do with the tools that we have how can we work them in a way that's going to be interesting different unique and also necessary we can't do things in the same way anymore we've got to have a different type of plan or a different engagement with the Practical stuff of our life with the actual resources that
we've got and then on Saturday Venus makes a square to those nodes this is again on a personal level big relationship material think back to what was happening at the end of September beginning of October for you in terms of relationships possibly but also on a collective level this is something that is pivotal for the women in the news for queer folks in the news for issues about Justice and Injustice and the scales of justice and again what can we do that is incredibly practical to tip the scales of Justice towards being more level I
was going to say favor but that's not justice but if we if things have been unjust how do we bring the scales of Justice back into Center that's one of the questions and then on Saturday the sun makes that exact opposition to Urus so it's just Friday Saturday feel eventful feel a little chaotic feel like important breakthroughs happen so I would take that on a personal level like maybe the world is in chaos right now when isn't it but on a personal level there is something coming Awake and Alive through this full moon and because
it's a full moon it might be a little overwhelming because generally they kind of are but overwhelming can be fun overwhelming can be exactly what we need to really get the message or to really get the message across I just think it's going to be really really busy this is also the last couple days of Pluto in Capricorn Pluto will move into Aquarius next week for good never In Our Lifetime to go back to Capricorn now this is important because Mars is right now sitting in Leo and next week Pluto will move into Aquarius which
is the exact opposite sign these two just made an opposition on November 3rd Mars was in cancer Pluto was in Capricorn now they've moved slightly into new signs but they're still in that tense opposition and this is the thing that we need to understand is that whatever started happening in October whatever was happening in the beginning of November we are in it until Q2 of next year that's because say Mars moved into its pre- retrograde Shadow on October 5th and it doesn't leave its post retrograde Shadow until May 3rd of 2025 so that's the time
period that Mars is taking us through some kind of difficult situation because it's going to station retrograde on December 6th and be retrograde until about February 24th so that is the really challenging part all December pretty much January and most of February but again it's hanging around in the degrees that it was in until we get into May so there's something from October to May that we're in and because it's Mars it's some kind of fight or it's some kind of conflict or it's some kind of battle and it makes an opposition to Pluto on
November 3rd and it makes another opposition to Pluto at the very beginning of January and then it makes another opposition to Pluto at the end of April so again because Pluto is changing signs and it's going to be in the sign opposite to Mars we're pretty much just in the Mars opposition from about November 3rd until the end end of April so you can look at it from October to May or beginning of November to April either way it's that section of time that we know is so important for world events because Pluto is about
power and what happens on a Subterranean level and Mars is about a lot of things one of them being about a fight or conflict and because they're pitted against each other or because they're in this relationship of tension and opposites and extremes there's some kind of battle that we're in Yeah in our personal life perhaps probably a lot less like it won't feel so it's not going to feel extreme like every day of those months but on a collective level that's tense that's a situation that you want to like pay attention to like what is
happening and because Mars is right now in Leo it is about leaders and it is about leadership so we are also working on this like Mars retrograde journey together right so I want you to know what area of your chart contains Leo that is the area of your chart that Mars is really working right now because it's going to station retrograde there at the beginning of December so what you can do to figure out what is ch talking about go to chan.com or go to the channy app and go under the weekly Tab and scroll
down and press the little button that says current Sky horoscopes press on that and read your Mars in Leo horoscope it will tell you what to look for what area of your life to pay attention to and how to approach this moment if you don't have the channy app I mean you should but if you don't find you can also go to chan.com and read your Mars in Leo horoscope for free it's just up there so you can just Google channy Mars and Leo horoscope and it will come up but get take note of where
Mars is right now because as of next week it's going to start to receive this tension this application of pressure from Pluto and it might make a situation that you thought was small big or that you thought was big you might reduce it down to something smaller which could be the good thing right like how do we not get afraid of things that are just out of proportion how do we shine the light on things to bring them into Clarity how do we not be afraid of what goes bump in the night because we're not
going to see what it is how can we gather our Mars right Mars is our courage and our Valor it's also conflict and challenge but it's like okay let me gather my courage and see what this really is let me not hide in fear from the things I need to be engaged in how do I call up that leadership quality it's Mars and Leo so it's going to be about our own leadership how do I call up that courage and look into the gutter look into the depth of the underworld which is Pluto and say
I am not meant to be afraid of this or I don't have to approach this with fear caution yes and you know obviously be afraid of things that we should be afraid of but like gravity and and actual harm but for the things that I can actually Challenge and poke at and figure out a strategy long-term strategy to work with because Mars is going to station retrograde and take us on a big journey and we're going to need a kind of long-term strategy for that Mars is calling that up in us it's like poking around
what kind of leader do you want to be in this moment and if we are engaged in a kind of struggle if we're engaged in this tension or if we're on this teeter totter for months then how am I going to move through this with the greatest amount of agency and I will say that in January Mars will move back into cancer so it won't be in this tense aspect with Pluto forever it will be out of sign so it will be unable to to see each other but it's going to come back again in
April so again nothing I say is like every single day unless I'm just talking about one day but with this Mars retrograde there's different themes because it will change signs at the beginning of January go back into cancer and that's a different kind of vibe but for now for the rest of November into December and then again at the end of April we've got this tension building and we're in this really taut kind of moment this feeling of like whoa I'm stretched or this situation is incredibly tense so how do we show up to it
thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you so much for leaving us reviews in the App Store it means the world to us we read them we are shaped by them we listen to them we take them in and then also it helps other people that don't know about the app or the company to learn about it it's the best gift you can give us and we are just so grateful I wanted to leave you with this one it's called best astrology app the amount of knowledge packed into this app is next level
love weekly readings and the daily horoscopes worth the price all right y'all sending you lots of love many many many blessings I hope that we can work as practically as possible with whatever change is a foot even if it's chaos right how can we show up to chaotic moments and be like all right what can I do here it's the most practical thing to do in this moment it's not getting lost in the chaos I'll guarantee you that it's showing up and being like okay I'm going to use this in a different way because it's
a different situation use this tool in this way and this tool in this way and I'm going to be experimental because I'm not going to get lost in any kind of like fear I'm not going to get lost in the chaos I'm going to be in the eye of the storm and as always this astrology might not land so dramatically for you it's mostly not going to land dramatically for you right because it would be silly if we had these like big dramatic events all the time so I'm really especially in this podcast talking about
world events so please don't take all of these things personally every now and then you'll be like wow that was really dramatic personally but it's not going to be like that every week so never never never never never take this and be like oh no cuz that's not what it's meant for but it is meant for this like okay how do we work with the Whirlwind that we're in as a collective at this moment in time on this earth like you don't need an astrologer to tell you it's a pretty wild time all right I'll
stop there come back next week we'll talk about Pluto moving into Aquarius for good and knowing this week Pluto is at the nth nth nth degree of Capricorn making a point to us all and that point is this part of our structure is rotten this part of our structure doesn't work this is like an old outdated patriarchal Norm or subtler colonialist or all of the above white supremist Etc fill in the blank this is what is crumbling about the structures that we live within cuz that ultimately is Pluto and Capricorn remember that Pluto entered Capricorn
in 2008 when we had the massive financial crisis the world over especially in the United States and this is the last moment of Pluto and Capricorn so what is the book end right if 2008 is one book end then the end of 2024 is the other and what are they doing to rhyme with each other these two years or these two in a pockets of time I'm sending you lots of love many many many many many blessings may we innovate may we update may we be given the permission by ourselves to be experimental especially practically
bye for now [Music]
