Key November Phenomena: Saturn turns Stationary Direct at 0 Pisces. This degree is a powerful marker, I call it the Fool’s degree.

We are the custodians of the energy or resources in our possession. Life bids us use energy wisely in the service of life since life has given us this energy.
Quote of Note: “In times such as these, people should recognize that evil knows no borders, knows no limits and knows no compassion. Those around the globe that value freedom must continue to persevere even in the darkest of times.” – Michael C. Burgess.
**About aspects: The following list gives you the day the aspect is mathematically exact, but effects are often felt a day before or a day after. With very strong aspects, such as Stations or Eclipses, we may see events several days before exactitude and later when other planets re-trigger those marker degrees. Aspects affect you personally the most if they connect closely to planets or points in your chart. Contact your astrologer for personal interpretations.
