[1:48] A milestone for the Big Sky Astrology Podcast! This week marks six years since April, when co-host Jen Braun aired the first episode on November 26, 2019.

[2:39] Mars Square Nodes (Monday, November 24, 5:32 AM PST) Mars in Sagittarius moves us away from the perfectionism of the South Node in Virgo and toward the realm of faith, imagination, and possibility of the North Node in Pisces. Even small steps toward our dreams can pay off—even if they don’t look exactly like we imagined.

[5:09] Mercury conjunct Venus (Monday, November 24, 5:52 PM PST, 22° 45′ Scorpio). On whimsical Sabian symbols, The rabbit turns into a fairy, Mercury and Venus combine their magic in transformative Scorpio. It’s through what we love—and how we verbally summon it—that we encounter Scorpio’s opportunity for metamorphosis.

[6:50] Venus forms a harmonious trine to Jupiter in Cancer (Wednesday, November 26, 8:31 AM PST) and Saturn in Pisces (Wednesday, November 26, 3:48 PM PST). Venus-Jupiter: Joy, ease, and maybe a little luck—if we’re willing to look beneath the surface. Venus-Saturn: Clarity of needs and wants. Themes of self-reliance, wisdom, and self-sufficiency emerge. Sabian Symbol of Venus: 25 Scorpio, X-ray examination, and 26 Scorpio, The Indians were encamping.

[16:11] Of course it’s the empty moon period. Tuesday, November 25: The Moon sextiles Neptune in Capricorn (1:10 AM PST) and lasts 1 hour and 5 minutes before entering Aquarius at 2:15 AM PST. The pragmatism and organization of the Capricorn Moon provide strong structure for Neptune’s intuition.

[17:00] The Moon squares Uranus in Aquarius (Thursday, November 27, 9:53 AM PST) and is VOC for 1 hour and 31 minutes before entering Pisces (11:24 AM PST). No matter how unconventional we think we are, sometimes we still want to fit in.

[21:55] Venus opposes Uranus (Saturday, November 29, 6:48 PM PST, 29°05′ Scorpio-Taurus, 30 Scorpio in Sabi sign): halloween clown And 30 Taurus: Peacocks parade over ancient lawns.
