Following the New Moon in Scorpio, this week brings heightened opportunity for self-awareness, transformation, and reclamation of unconscious drives moving from beneath the surface. As Mars opposes Pluto and then enters Leo, this week brings a big energy stirring from our cosmos, and therefore from within.
Mars opposite Pluto: November 3
November holds within it an era-defining astrological transit. It’s the movement of Pluto into Aquarius, where it will remain for the next 19 years. Before this shift, however, we are met with opportunities for deep release, transformation, self-awareness, and a breaking free of this old chapter soon coming to an end.
This week on November 3, 2024, we meet one of these opportunities. It’s Mars in opposition to Pluto, a culmination of energy that has been rising from beneath the surface since mid-October, and will continue to unfold all the way into April of 2025. But this week, we meet the peak of this energy. We meet the immense depth of this energy. We meet a doorway of profound transformation.
Mars in Astrology is our drive, will, and motivation. It is how we act, defend, and pursue our desires. Mars is fire, movement, and passion. Pluto is transformation, transmutation, and the deepest depth of the psyche. It is the unconscious, our underworld, and our capacity to regenerate, reclaim, and birth ourselves anew after moving through immense psychological transformation.
As these two planets meet their peak in an opposition aspect, we are gifted an opportunity to pull back the veil and peer into our own underworld. To feel unconscious material rising from beneath the surface and expressing itself through our bodies, emotions, and impulses. This day represents an open door for unprocessed and unconscious material to be expressed through us for the sake of transmutation and empowerment, with Mars bringing the courage to break free from these patterns.
On a more esoteric level, while Mars represents our conscious desires, Pluto represents the more unconscious desires of the Soul. From this perspective, Mars opposite Pluto may offer insights into the deeper evolutionary intentions of our Soul, the lessons that we desire to learn through and master, and the spaces we are here to transform and empower ourselves within.
Mars enters Leo: November 4
The next day on November 4, 2024, Mars finishes its journey through Cancer and enters the fires of Leo, where it will remain until January 6, 2024.
Leo is here to express itself. To bring what lives within into the world around it through its creative self-expression. It is fire and joy, passion and love. Mars in Leo brings a greater drive for selfhood, expression, and creativity. It heightens passion and the outward movement of our energy.
Mars will begin its retrograde in Leo in December, so the steps that it takes now in this fiery sign will soon be re-traced. For next month Mars will turn around and re-walk this path that we are now beginning, observing things from a new perspective.
Astrology Forecast November 3 to 9 2024
With transformation, regeneration, and empowerment sitting as the core invitations of this week, it is also held in cosmic movement that asks for our active participation.
This week asks for self-awareness and courage. It asks that we observe what our unconscious is revealing to us through our actions and reactions. It asks that we take compassionate responsibility for these reactions, with the knowing that they are a mirror for what is asking to be transformed within ourselves. As Mars and Pluto come together, this day can heighten emotional responses, where we may just find that the focus is much less about the external events we are reacting to, rather it is through these responses that we are offered the opportunity to peer into what lives within us. As we continue to move past this heightened day and Mars shifts into Leo, we might just feel the energy beginning to wane after its peak expression – and now, it’s self-expression that is calling our names.
