The Mars Pluto Opposition

How Sunday 3rd November Affects Your Astrology Chart

MARS IN CANCER OPPOSITE PLUTO IN CAPRICORN has happened to you before. It’s always mixed feelings and inner conflict. What’s different about Sunday 3rd November, is that this is the last time.

So, if you have the Sun in Libra, this is the last time you will ever be forced to move (for example). If you have the Sun in Cancer, this is the last time you will ever have to confront your enemy. In this astrology update about Sunday 3rd November 2024 I’ll run through the 12 signs and also your natal chart.

The tug-of-war now is about your country, your city - and what corporations and governments are doing. Cancer is your home town and homeland. Capricorn is big business and politics.

You can expect headlines on Monday 4th November about this. At the extreme end you have Israel and issues about territory and land. Mars opposite Pluto increases the heat.

It’s about housing shortages, house prices (Cancer) and big business property developers (Capricorn) and government policies (Capricorn) again.

All of this affects your circle. So your friend who just vented about his awful flatmates is only there because of an apartment shortage in your town, caused by Air BnB.

This may be hard to believe given we’ve had this regular series of oppositions since 2008, but the global issues about rent and home ownership will never be this bad again. Why? Pluto is moving out too.

The End of Pluto in Capricorn

The end of Pluto in Capricorn is the end of issues that have occurred for years. For Julian Assange (Sun in Cancer) it’s been about his enemies, which Capricorn rules in his chart. For Libran Theresa May (Sun in Libra) it’s about her country, which for her, Capricorn rules in her chart.

Cancer is motherhood, pregnancy and babies. Capricorn is government. Abortion will make headlines again now. Pluto (power) is in Capricorn (politicians) and Mars (action) is in Cancer (women). This is the chart set for London. Allow Saturday 2nd November, Monday 4th November too, allowing for the differences in world time zones and sleep cycles.

IF YOU HAVE FACTORS AT 29 DEGREES of any sign then you will notice other people making decisions to quit (something) or leave (somebody) or end (a situation) which powerfully affects you. This weekend is about those announcements - classically people will talk about ‘the end of the year’ or ‘Thanksgiving’ or ‘Christmas’ or ‘New Year’ as deadlines. The reality is Mars and Pluto at 29 degrees are pushing the choices in those astrology charts.

How Your Sign Is Affected

Which area of your life is quite obviously the biggest story on November 3rd? There will actually be two stories taking place, both quite intense, but this is what appears to be the bigger deal, below. Next, I’ll look at the second story too, which is where you are about to sign off from years of constant change.

Aries: House, apartment, land, household, house guests, town, country, family.
Taurus: Brothers, sisters, cousins, the media, the internet, travel, commuting.
Gemini: Money, business, houses, apartments, valuables, charity, finances.
Cancer: Reputation, image, brand, profile, self-promotion, title, appearance.
Leo: Religion, self-help, Tarot, counselling, hypnosis, meditation, solitude.
Virgo: Friends, groups, associations, societies, clubs, teams, social media.
Libra: Career, position, mission, ambition, academic career, unpaid vocation.
Scorpio: Foreigners, foreign countries, publishing, the worldwide web, travel.
Sagittarius: Budget, banking, possessions, houses, apartments, taxes, charity.
Capricorn: Partners, enemies, opponents, double acts, duets, couples, pairs.
Aquarius: Workload, wellbeing, housework, health, mental health, study.
Pisces: Courtship, the bedroom, babies, infants, schoolchildren, young adults.

WE HAD THIS ON 5TH JUNE 2021 and the world didn’t end, so ignore all the flapping you see by inexperienced astrologers. Yes, of course we will see violence this weekend. The American election is here. And right around the world, unfortunately wars continue.

Still, it’s wise for you, to avoid pushing anything too hard on the Mars-Pluto opposition. Choose another time. Not this weekend. There are easier times!

Mars is the Roman god of war. Pluto was the Roman god of the underworld. Their face-off is unhelpful for anybody trying to push, shove, strong-arm, argue the point and so on. This is the second area of your life affected, below.

Libra: House, apartment, land, household, house guests, town, country, family.
Scorpio: Brothers, sisters, cousins, the media, the internet, travel, commuting.
Sagittarius: Money, business, houses, apartments, valuables, charity, finances.
Capricorn: Reputation, image, brand, profile, self-promotion, title, look.
Aquarius: Religion, self-help, Tarot, counselling, hypnosis, solitude.
Pisces: Friends, groups, associations, societies, clubs, teams, social media.
Aries: Career, position, mission, ambition, academic career, unpaid vocation.
Taurus: Foreigners, foreign countries, publishing, the worldwide web, travel.
Gemini: Budget, banking, possessions, houses, apartments, taxes, charity.
Cancer: Partners, enemies, opponents, double acts, duets, couples, pairs.
Leo: Workload, wellbeing, housework, health, mental health, study.
Virgo: Courtship, the bedroom, babies, infants, schoolchildren, young adults.

The End of Pluto in Capricorn

This is actually a two-step. Pluto is out of Capricorn on 19th November. What follows is negotiation about a final deal or sign-off, after the exit of particular situations or people. That will happen by 7th December, when Ceres is out of Capricorn. By the time you hit the New Moon in Capricorn on December 30th you will have a genuinely new beginning.

If you are a Leo this could easily be the end of a chronic health condition or a situation with the dog. If you are a Capricorn it may be the end of a stand-off with your former boyfriend - and the start of a new friendship with him.

What we have here on December 30th is a classic case of ‘The end is the beginning’ for you but it will have been propelled by November 3rd.
