November is a month of extraordinary events, beginning with the opposition of Saturn and Uranus on the 4th. This opens the way for the 2012 era of history, accented by the entry of Pluto into Capricorn, a symbol of sweeping changes and of making our relationship to the "big world" personal. November's Full Moon is on the 13th, in Taurus. The Sagittarius New Moon is on the 27th (the day after Pluto enters Capricorn to stay), with the Moon and Sun conjunct Mercury, Mars, and this thing you probably haven't heard of called Pholus (a centaur planet). Pholus is an influence that is similar to opening a bottle of shaken-up seltzer on a hot day, so get ready.

Aries (March 20-April 19)
Life always seems to present a paradox between the possibilities of the imagination and the limits presented by material reality. Have you ever considered that the opposite is true? Looked at another way, our imaginations are rather desperately lacking in energy, and the material world presents them with nothing but opportunities. You need to decide what is true for you, and you can start by deciding which you want to be true. Your imagination is on fire, and there are factors developing in your chart that suggest physical reality is more like clay you can work with and less like a wall.

Taurus (April 19-May 20)
You seem uncertain about what another person is thinking or feeling. Why don't you ask? There may be a few good reasons. One of them: you know what you hear could change you. You might be called out of a concept of yourself that you seem to be attached to, even if it doesn't serve you. But no self-concept is actually convenient if it denies the reality another person is experiencing. In other words, self-concept doesn't end with yourself; to be functional, it needs to embrace your environment, and that means the people around you.

Gemini (May 20-June 21)
These days mark the end of an era: Pluto is leaving your opposite sign, Sagittarius, and entering your 8th solar house, Capricorn. Pluto was in Sagittarius for about 12 years; depending on your date of birth, there were several key peaks of energy (two come to mind), resulting in some of the most profound changes of your life. Pluto's move to the 8th house means that you are taking its energy in a less direct way, but one that still calls for your full attention. If the past 12 years have taught you independence, this next phase is about interdependence: mastering the art of negotiating mutual needs and recognizing the power that these give us over one another.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Consider carefully how your relationships have gone this year, what situations have arisen, and how you handled them. You are entering an extended phase—till the mid-2020s—when you will be exploring the impact people have on your life. You have many ideas about "autonomy," what a relationship is and is not. I am here to introduce another idea: mutually independent relationship. That is, relationship in the context of people mutually supporting one another as individuals. For this to happen, all involved must want it. Intentions are good; desire is better. One paradox is that we can never be "independent" without the conscious support of others. Don't take that support for granted.

Leo (July 22-August 23)
You're heading for a moment where you get to feel what you've been missing. This will provide some evidence that you need to observe things from three different angles or miss seeing them at all. You'll also get a clue about how you tend to look at things from the perspective of the past—a perspective you are rapidly releasing. The thing about taking a futuristic angle is that you need to envision it, which means some trial and error. In other words, you may envision a change you want to make, and then it happens—and you got it wrong; you wanted something else, or didn't fully align with your deepest level of reality in making the choice. The good news is that the process of manifestation worked; now you just need to refine your imagination.
