November opens and closes with the new moon so much as both November and December are winter months (in the northern hemisphere) and times of hibernation and cozying upto family and warmth, we are being propelled to be or begin something new

Pre-new year resolutions, anyone?!

In India, the festival of lights ushers in November reminding us that spreading the light and being lighter will lighten November for all of us

But hold your horses! November also belongs to Mercury retrograde (influenced by Full moon karmic Saturn direct and December’s Mars retrograde and Neptune direct)

Less will be more

haste will make waste

Family will be priority and many an insight around men in our lives will show up; fathers, brothers, sons, spouses – don’t be afraid to see their humanity, acknowledge their imperfections and draw boundaries where required. Saturn’s return to direct motion on full moon makes us realise what and which authorities we want to follow and since he reports to Lord Shivji, you may be picking up on his presence more this month

How and how much we work matters – planning and being organised will be important

Paying attention to tasks normally taken for granted or trusted to another will need double checking

You will be asked grow up, not old so have your stress busters ready!

November also has sexy, mystical Scorpio energies that could bring mysterious attractions – stay calm, check in with your intuition and enjoy while making no life long commitments

As the 11 month in our calendar, November has the energy of 2 (1 + 1), an emotional number that can make our feelings over the top because of Mercury retrograde so along with your stress busters, it’s a great time to be new about how you handle emotions

You may find yourself being more spiritually or prayer inclined as you begin to realise that some situations/relationships are not in your hands and probably never were – don’t try so hard to control others; it never works in the long term

Emotional management requires truth, voice and learning so speak how you feel, but also listen when someone else does

Since it begins on Thank Goddess it’s Friday, rest assured that DurgaMA has our backs!

It’s a New & Noteworthy November, everyone! Say HELLO to it 11 times🎁➡🎁➡🎁➡🎁
