Samhain & Astrological Forecast-November 1, 2024
Samhain marks the midpoint between the Fall and Winter Solstices. It is a time to start to prepare for spending more time in the darkness and embracing your shadow side. It is also a time to honor your ancestors and those who have passed on. This season of year is often described as the time the “veil is thinning”. This describes the thin boundary between the physical world and the spiritual realm. Spirit communication becomes easier and more obtainable during this time.
Here are some simple rituals you can do to celebrate Samhain:
- Create an ancestor altar.
- Leave offerings outside for those who have passed over.
- Share family stories, reminisce, and remember.
- Cook family recipes.
- Practice divination.
- Make a besom.
Let’s take a more in depth look at the overall energies, attributes, and themes you can expect for Samhain, along with the major planetary aspects that the Moon and some planets will be making this day:
Moon in Scorpio
With the Moon in Scorpio, your emotional life will feel complex now, and you will have a tendency to feel things intensely. You may be secretive and suspicious of others now. Your feelings may feel overwhelming. Emotional dramas may resurface. Conflicts are possible with family members. If you are hurt or slighted now, you may be unforgiving and bear grudges towards others. Positively, you are prepared to fight for what you believe in.
Saturn will form a Trine with the Moon
You now have a practical outlook on life, coupled with a strong sense of duty and responsibility, especially towards your family. You are now at ease in your own company and enjoy some time in seclusion. Negatively, you may feel uncommunicative and/or moody.
The Sun will form a Conjunction with the Moon
You now feel self-motivated, self-contained, and unaffected by others, including partners. You can now be intensely subjective and disinclined to extend yourself to other people, which can lead to some misunderstandings. Your drive for recognition can override your emotional needs and vice versa now. You will now also enjoy starting enterprises and planting seeds for the future.
Jupiter will form an Opposition with Venus
Even the “difficult” aspects, such as this, between Venus and Jupiter are not as challenging as other planetary combinations. Negatively, there can be a tendency towards overindulgence and wastefulness now. If you have this aspect in your chart, it can be a very advantageous one because it brings social and worldly benefits and facilitates successful relationships with others. Romantic encounters are generally positive and happy now. Artistic ability is heightened. People warm up easily to you now. You have the strong ability to gain popularity or favoritism from others right now.
Venus will be in Sagittarius
You will be feeling friendly and positive in love but won’t like being tied down now or restricted. You may value freedom more now, and the ability to come and go as you please. Honesty will be important in love right now and you strive to be truthful and open. Be careful not to come off as too frank or insensitive to another’s feelings. You will desire association with others who share an enthusiasm for fun and outdoor activity, or an interest in philosophical subjects. You may form attachments to people from other cultures and parts of the world now.
