Dredging Up the Past

The first part of November may be more complex than playful with the Sun buried deep in your 4th House of Personal History until November 21. This transit in emotionally intense Scorpio tends to dredge up powerful feelings from the past. If you're willing to look at your experiences with objectivity, you may be able to untie some knots of distrust and make yourself more available for intimacy. On the other hand, if you hold onto negative emotions with guilt, shame, blame or resentment for others, you're a much less inviting candidate for a loving relationship. You may feel smothered if you're in a partnership now, which will require some serious discussion and reevaluation to get it back on track. Yes, we'd like to believe that love is limitless, and on some levels it is. But this is a period when you may have to keep score by carefully assessing how much you're willing to give for it.

Avoid a tendency to go to extremes around November 10 when expansive Jupiter forms a stressful 90-degree square to the Sun. Over-estimating someone or promising more than you can deliver are possibilities now. The Sun's square to nebulous Neptune on November 15 tells a similar story, one in which fantasy overcomes reality. This can be a delicious escape, yet there are consequences for setting common sense aside.

There's a favorable shift in the social winds when the Sun enters Sagittarius and your 5th House of Romance on November 21. This helps boost your self-confidence and put you in a more favorable position for taking initiative with others and gaining positive attention.
