Everything revolves around the Sun. I’ve always found that phrase fascinating. It perfectly encapsulates the Hermetic principle of “As above, so below,” which highlights how the Sun is the gravitational center of both the solar system and our heads. Just as the Sun holds the planets in their courses, it also coalesces our contradictory needs and values into a coherent whole. It’s the secret to maintaining sanity and authenticity in our lives.

The Sun’s Conversation with Your Planets
Every year, the Sun transits around your birth chart, having a little conversation with each of the planets in your head. This interaction updates them about who you’ve become and aims to align them with the evolving program of your soul’s journey. While these personal transits are essential, let’s explore the Sun’s current aspects to other planets and how they shape our collective human journey.
The Treasures of the Sun
At stake for everyone are the basic treasures the Sun offers: a sense of sanity, being on the right path, and maintaining our vitality despite life’s challenges. During November, as the Sun traverses Scorpio, it makes six important aspects that hold valuable insights for us all.
Ephemeris for November
Before diving into the aspects, let’s take a look at the ephemeris:
- November 5: Sun conjunct the Moon’s south node.
- November 9: Sun opposes Uranus.
- November 11: Sun squares Saturn.
- November 14: Sun trines Neptune.
- November 18: Sun sextiles Pluto.
- November 20: Sun trines Jupiter.
Each of these configurations carries meaning, but the true elegance of astrology lies in tying them together. Remember what you’ve already discovered, and let’s see how these aspects flow into each other.
Sun Conjunct the South Node
When the transiting Sun conjuncts the Moon’s south node, it also opposes the north node in Taurus. This configuration highlights the tension between old habits that hold us back and the beckoning call of progress. Reflect on your wounded places and where you find yourself repeatedly hoping for different results. By committing to breaking those old habits, you align with the relentless effort necessary for growth.
Sun Opposite Uranus
On November 9, the Sun opposes Uranus, bringing revolutionary breakthroughs. If you’ve navigated the Sun’s interaction with the nodal axis well, you’ll find yourself eager for a jailbreak from destructive old habits. Insights will dawn on you, revealing the possibility for fundamental changes in your life. Embrace the wild recklessness of Uranus and embrace a new path forward.
Sun Square Saturn
Two days after the Sun opposes Uranus, it squares Saturn. This aspect reveals the practical obstacles and responsibilities that arise as you try to break free from old patterns. Don’t let discouragement cloud your long-term thinking. It may require compromise, but remain flexible and persistent. Drive a hard bargain, but never give up on your ultimate goals.
Sun Trine Neptune
On November 14, the Sun trines Neptune, lighting up your mind with bright ideas seemingly out of nowhere. Sit still and allow Neptune’s vastness to inspire you. When combined with the previous Sun square Saturn aspect, unexpected insights will unlock doors that appeared as walls. Trust your instincts and embrace the power of stillness.
Sun Sextile Pluto
As the Sun forms a sextile aspect to Pluto on November 18, a significant realization occurs. Reflect on what you’ve learned throughout the month and how those insights have expanded your understanding of your own glitches. Recognize that this insight has crystallized in your conscious mind, marking a significant milestone in your journey.
Sun Trine Jupiter
On November 20, the Sun trines Jupiter, offering a burst of luck and new opportunities. However, not all open doors are healthy or safe. If you’ve navigated the previous transits successfully, luck will be on your side. Trust your intuition and choose the door that aligns with your conscious responses and evolutionary growth.
Step Into the Sunlight
Finally, as the Sun enters Sagittarius, step into the sunlight and breathe in the energy of your breakthrough. Feel the difference as you leave behind draining patterns and embrace a higher energy state. Remember, this map to higher ground is your guide to consciously using November’s potentials. You have the choice to participate in your own evolution and make the most of these cosmic alignments.
As the Upanishads wisely proclaimed, “Such verily is knowledge. Now do as you will.”
