Astrology 101
by Selin Sipahiler
Happy Scorpio season everyone (I do not know if that’s possible but please try.) After socializing much more than what a normal person (non-Libra) is capable of, it is finally the time to enjoy Scorpio season with all its darkness and intensity. It is a great time to shed your old shell and create a new you. Scorpio is all about the underground - death, rebirth and intuitiveness- so you might want to evaluate yourself and rebuild your weaknesses into strengths. Some signs that the Scorpio energy has taken over are: secretiveness, trust issues, an odd attraction towards mysteries and conspiracy theories, intense crushes and “falling in love”.
Planetary Movements:
As this issue’s theme is FUTURE, these planetary movement
descriptions will give you a heads-up before the messy
month of November.
URANUS RETROGRADE ENTERS ARIES
November 6th
I know it sound scary, it is. Uranus is the planet of forward-
thinking and innovation so you can tell both the retrograde
and Aries isn’t the most compatible with the expanding
planet. Do not worry, the key to surviving this is to look ahead,
not to the past. Take advantage of the Scorpio energy along
with Uranus to break your old habits that have been drowning
your energy, these hurt your body and your soul.
NEW MOON IN SCORPIO (personal favourite)
November 7th
Simply, new moons are all about creating a new you that will be active until the next new moon. It’s the most powerful time to manifest your desires. Be careful not to have too many negative thoughts as they will manifest as well. The emphasis on desires is huge as the new moon is in Scorpio so try not to obsess over them.
MERCURY RETROGRADE IN SAGITTARIUS
November 16th
Oh no. The time has finally come: Mercury Retrograde. This is the worst planetary movement and I like to act as if it is not occurring. As Koç students, let’s be thankful that our exam week was over before this mess because it is not the best time for taking exams or communicating at all. To all my readers whom are taking the December 1st SAT, just try your best and do not let some stupid planet disregard the
countless hours you have studied!
Lots of misunderstanding and
technological issues might occur so just
stay calm (well, if you can.)
Mercury won’t let you calm down but it
will rush you so try to be as conscious as
possible to not make a mistake.
VENUS DIRECT IN LIBRA
November 16th
On the bright side, Venus retrograde in Scorpio is over. The only thing I look forward to on November. The intense crushing, obsessive thinking and possessive love phase is through. Not much occurs when Venus is in Libra except for an increased interest in arts and fashion. Also, you might feel much more confident expressing yourself while engaging with others.
FULL MOON IN GEMINI
November 23rd
Your words are your most powerful weapons today so chose them wisely. Think before you speak. Full moons are about letting go of the past and learning from your mistakes which is supported by the careless Gemini energy. Manifestations are strong so be conscious of your thoughts.
