Weekly Astrology Forecast I November 15 - A PERIOD OF GROWTH

By Narayana Montúfar

We made it to the last week of Scorpio season! For the past three weeks, we have been working with this sign’s bold archetype by embodying its strength to transform. We have honored the past, observed the present, and now we prepare to catapult ourselves into the future. And ready or not, this week’s cosmic shenanigans will certainly take us there by bringing the first of two eclipses (keep your eye out this week for an upcoming blog fully dedicated to this celestial event!)

The star of this week’s show is Jupiter, as the gas giant receives astrological activity from other planets. Jupiter is the Planet of Growth, Abundance, and Spirituality. And during the days ahead, it will give us a glance at the different ways in which we can grow in a specific area of our lives.

On Monday, November 15^th, the Sun in Scorpio will form a square with Jupiter in Aquarius. A connection that only repeats twice a year, it boosts vitality and drive. As the Sun’s light illuminates the giving capabilities of Jupiter, we can feel our optimism and confidence returning. But because this aspect is classically known for its exuberance, moderation and discipline are key here. If we manage to stay realistic about the possibilities, we can really make the best of this aspect of opportunity.

Thankfully, the Moon will assist in carrying the enthusiasm forward as she forms a square with Jupiter on Thursday, November 18^th.  Rooted in the earthy sign of Taurus, she can carry the positive vibes without exaggerating them. Taurus is the strongest placement for the Moon, so we can count on Luna offering this sign’s grounding and realistic nature as we envision our next steps. 

The last connection of the week involving Jupiter arrives on Saturday, November 20^th. This time it’s Mercury in Scorpio forming a square with Jupiter, arriving to seal the deal in a powerful week. During its stay in Scorpio, Mercury’s influence brought us the gift of strategy. And as it connects with Jupiter at the very end of Scorpio season, it opens the door for more growth to find us.

This week, set some time aside to connect with Jupiter’s abundant energy. Read about its mythology, talk to him, and thank him for the good things in your life. If you want to take it a little further, perform a good deed, or help someone in need. These practices will help you align with Jupiter’s vibration of giving.
