Man, let me tell you about my deep dive into this November 17th astrology thing for 2024. People kept asking me what the stars might have cooking for everyone then, so I figured, why not try predicting it myself?
Getting Started & Feeling Clueless
First off, I gotta admit, I’m no pro. Never claimed to be. I just like digging into stuff. So, I cracked open my old laptop – thing sounds like a jet engine taking off – and started scribbling down the planetary positions for that exact date using some free online ephemeris tables I dug up. Felt a bit like trying to read hieroglyphs at first. Mercury retrograde? Again? Gimme a break.
The Nitty-Gritty: Planets Doing Their Thing
Here’s the messy part I struggled with:
- Sun in Scorpio: Figured this meant everyone was gonna be digging deep, super serious vibes. Like, “get outta my way, I’m figuring stuff out” energy.
- Jupiter bouncing through Gemini: This one was tricky. Does that mean tons of gossip or everyone suddenly wanting to learn pottery? Settled on loads of talking and maybe people switching jobs or paths.
- Mars getting comfy in Cancer: Oh boy. Temper flares mixed with wanting to hide under the duvet? Seemed like a recipe for family arguments or passive-aggressive texts. Wrote that down.
Spent ages just staring at where Venus was hanging out – Libra. Made me think people would be all about relationships, trying to make things pretty and fair. But like trying, not necessarily succeeding, y’know?
The “Oh Crap” Moment
Then I noticed Saturn plodding along nearby. Sat straight up in my creaky chair. “Hold up,” I mumbled to nobody. This “fun-times-and-pretty-stuff” vibe I thought Venus promised? Saturn sitting right there meant it was probably gonna feel like hard work. Compromises? Pfft. More like awkward conversations about who forgot to take the bins out, disguised as ‘deep relationship talks’. That changed everything I wrote before.
Testing the Madness
Couldn’t just keep this scribbled mess to myself. Printed it out (printer jammed twice, naturally) and cornered my buddy Dave during coffee. Read him the key bits – the serious moods, the talking-your-ear-off bit, the relationship friction. He just kinda blinked and said, “Dude, that’s basically every Tuesday for me.” Okay, point taken, Dave. Then I called my sister. She went quiet when I mentioned the Saturn-Venus thing and finally sighed, “So… you’re saying Mom’s gonna call again about grandkids on the 17th? Great.”
Turns out, people saw their everyday lives kinda reflected in it. Weird.
Wrapping My Head Around It
After all that scribbling, glaring at planets online, and annoying my friends, what did I learn? Stars don’t give you a script. That November 17th setup? It feels like a big pressure cooker. Everyone digging deep (Scorpio Sun), talking a mile a minute but maybe not listening great (Jupiter in Gemini), getting testy at home or with partners (Mars in Cancer), trying to make things nice and fair but hitting walls (Venus and Saturn in Libra). It’s not about predicting winning lottery numbers; it’s about spotting the likely weather patterns, the currents that might pull you one way or another.
It was messy, involved way too much bad coffee, and honestly, I’m still figuring it out. But that’s the practice, right? Showing the fumbles along with whatever half-decent nuggets you find. Now go check yours for the 17th – but maybe just use it as a heads-up, not a prison sentence. Peace out.
