Opening the tarot deck for this month's card I pull out the 6 of Wands. I actually quite like this card, as it feels so positive. We see the man on his horse front and center, and his charger wears a green blanket. The colour green symbolises the following, harmony, healing, fertility, the heart chakra and money. Negatively it stands for greed and jealousy.
We see the man wrapped in a cloak and wearing the wreath of victory, he also carries another laurel wreath on top of his staff held high. He is feeling pride in his achievement; as others look up to him in awe. The symbolism of his cloak implies mystery, secrecy, concealment and protection. The brown colour of his cloak signifies down to earth as in the common man and a worker, yet under his cloak are his real clothes. He is not a peasant at all he is a nobleman, and he does not belong amongst the peasantry. He is hiding within the masses to give the impression that he is on their side. We see that he wears long boots and gloves. These are not the belongings of an ordinary man. His gloves protect his hands from the unclean and roughness of manual work. The boots imply that he is more pure than the workers. He is a leader and not a follower.
So we see this man is a powerful world leader, with a powerful message to convey to the world. Hard work and firm determination, to get thing done is his goal. He is also concealing his true agenda for his real purpose, as he likes to have an air of mystery around him at all times to keep people wondering what his plans are. Only a couple of close people in his team get to know some of his plans, but never the full picture. I am of course referring to Donald Trump, a man who does not get down with the ordinary people, but creates the illusion of doing so. Make no mistake about it, Mr Trump is keen to take a wrecking ball to the world of politics and the world. He is not a patient man and we are seeing his actions taking shape all through 2025.
Mr Trump is a leader and never a follower, he is a highly competitive person and out to be seen. He doesn't like to be in anyone's shadow. He overshadows others and places himself center stage.
This months card shows a transformation stage reaching near completion for 2025, which itself is a transformative number 9 year. So we are close to the end of this phase of the transition. By the way 9 in Astrology is the 9th house of Sagittarius ruled by Jupiter (expansive), which relates to foreign places, overseas/ long distance travel and spirituality/religion and the higher mind. So we can see a pattern happening in the reshaping of the world in front of our eyes.
A clear vision of the future is coming into frame; with one thing in mind, unity. This will be a massive (Jupiter) transformation for the world, and especially the western world. This feels like a push back with a rallying cry, with an edgy feeling to it. This may not be exactly what people want or need though. I do not feel it benefits the whole of humanity especially us ordinary people.
Who is actually behind this push, and why? Who is supporting it really, and who is trying to prevent it? This we don't actually have the answers to. This is a slow and deliberate transition that happens over many years, between 10 to 20 years depending on what the goal/goals are. Donald Trump wants to know up front who is up for this and who is against it. Money is a very big incentive here.
I feel J D Vance will be out in front leading this push in November, and he is the one to smooth out the abrasiveness of Trump with other leaders. Vance is a no nonsense politician all the same, he is very ambitious, giving Trump something to think about as a future leader.
November and December sees America as a high priority in the news; as they keep up the negotiations with Ukraine and Russia and Palestine and Israel. Israel however work to their own script regardless of what Trump says.
J D Vance is moving to the next level with negotiations in Europe and Israel, taking a more prominent lead than usual.
The economy and food are main priorities for ordinary people right now, trying to survive the cost of living crisis and cutting expenses.
Health and work are also a major focus for November. There will be good news for some people in health matters, be that a personal health matter or in relation to public health settings.
This card is ruled by a fire sign, Leo which has the ruling planet or luminary, the Sun. So this brings attention to the personality and politics.
Leo being a fire sign is also about natural leadership, creativity, ambition, and being in the spotlight. The 5th house is a house of life, and the sun adds the intensity of fire and heat in the mix, so watch out for temper tantrums in politics.
The number 6 in the card is a feminine number and gives a feeling of harmony, balance, security as well as health, the number 6 also covers inheritance and money.
Keep an eye on China in the news in November, I feel China will again be pushing the envelope a bit more. Not afraid of rocking the boat in the South China Seas and Taiwan with a bit of aggression, knowing that the world will not retaliate out of fear of stoking the flames of conflict.
I keep feeling water, as I look at the card, it keeps bugging me; but I don't know what it is about. Just keep an eye on anything to do with water.
I also pick up ship building, submarine building and metal or steal in November. There is also Marine life (water) highlighted in the news.
Storm clouds gathering metaphorically and real storm clouds are significant for November. Some places will have heavy rainfall (water) and severe storms. This is common in Australia in November, but this is on a global level.
There could be early snowfalls (frozen water) in November in the northern hemisphere marking the start of a very cold winter.
I hear "Christmas" and feel that something is happening around the Christmas season. This feels like a major event or situation, not a celebration.
So there we have it for November 2025.The year has flown in way too fast and we will have another fast year next year too.
Take care and warm and fuzzy hugs to everyone. Stay safe and look after your loved ones and fur babies.
