Hello you beautiful people and welcome to Aligned Advantage for November!

We’re so excited to go on this deep dive of each month’s calendar together using the power of the woo-woo tools my momma taught me. π
Hooray!
It’s time to tackle the November calendar so here we go!
As we near December, we’ll tackle that month’s calendar — and our Zoom on November 20th will be about December’s magic. Scroll down to get registered to be a part of that next session! ’til then, it’s all about November.
As always, we’ll cover what the numerology of the days mean, what the moon phases tell us, and of course how all this plays out in your favor in the most intriguing and powerful ways! During the Zoom, you’ll get a chance to hop in the hot seat — be sure to bring your birthdate so I can work my magic with you — and we’ll talk about how the woo of the month aligns with YOU!
Please feel free to ask questions in the comments area below and while some will be best-suited for our live Zoom, certainly I’ll do what I can to help explain some of how I make the calendar work for me in the comments before and after our Zooms.

If you need support materials for interpreting the various notations on this calendar, head back over to your Aligned Advantage Welcome page, where I have stored all sorts of goodies for you!
And now… the replay of our live Zoom session about the November calendar and all its juicy goodness! Enjoy!
Here’s the link I promised to the “ruling planets” list. Remember, it’s not just which planets rule which signs, it’s which signs you have in which planets… and THAT goes with the loglines I like to use (revisit this Woo-Woo Wednesday on the topic).
In our November Zoom (about the December calendar — register below; the calendar will be available when the December page opens a few hours before our next Zoom), we’ll do a mini-class on the houses. That’s the WHERE in the WHAT happens (sign), HOW it happens (planet), WHERE formula. π If you’d like to explore which house your SUN is in, I have a Woo-Woo Wednesday for that here.
Questions? Keep ’em comin’! I love these discussions SO MUCH and really enjoy sharing all this learning with you.
Y’all, thank you for joining me in this exciting woo-woo venture! I’m so proud to be the astrologer’s daughter and I know Charlsie is so happy to see this happening right now. π
All my love,
Wanna join us for our monthly LIVE interactive Aligned Advantage meeting? Register here ASAP! Our next meeting will take place via Zoom on Wednesday, November 20th, at 1pm PST. Translate that to your time zone here.
After you register, you will receive an email with information on how to connect. You are welcome to go on camera for this Q&A session, or simply unmute yourself to participate live audio-only. Yes, we will be recording the meeting and putting its replay up (along with the next calendar) in next month’s page for you to consume. Hooray!
Before the Zoom, please post questions *here* (even though the robot email from Zoom includes an email address for questions). Thank you. π
If you’ve never Zoomed before, we recommend you get all set up *before* our meeting. Zoom is free, and there’s info on how to get going here.
And of course, any questions for us, pop ’em in below! Woo HOO!
Good Morning,
As a woo woo related question, I’d love to know what Charlsie and you feel about dreams…
I’m a vivid dreamer and keep a dream diary. I love them, try to understand them and love talking to other people about their take on them.
Looking forward to the Woo!
Patricia
Great chat on today’s Zoom! π Thank you and rock on!!
Hey! This week has been so interesting with our coaching, the Zoom replay & y’all’s insights, and other moments.
I was talking to Marc about how I recognize that I’m walking around “living a version of my best self–on hold” & I asked him how he felt about living his best life currently. To my surprise, he seems satisfied. He’s content with work that serves others so long as his work is valued & he’s respected. He said something about how I have more drive than he does. & then it hit me! Holy shit! What motivates him & his goals are different than mine! Duh. I mean, obviously he’s a different person, but because we’ve been on the same artistic team, I presumed our goals were the same.
First, I felt kinda bad about that. To that end, I bow think I understand what you told me about my Venus & Mars in Gemini & my Mercury in Taurus. This realization speaks to your description that I work stuff out (how I love & how I fight) with myself. I’m very resourceful that way & I presume Marc is doing the same processing, but he’s not necessarily! Ding, ding, ding!
Then I thought: “wait, are there more clues to what drives us in our careers/goals in our charts?” Again, duh!
So… I know you & I talked about my 10th house being planet heavy.
His has none there. His 1st house is planet heavy & includes his sun in Capricorn.
I’ve tried to research this some and I don’t want this to be about your reading Marc’s chart. Instead, what I’m trying to look at is how we can work well together to meet my goals (which seem to be the driving force) and more importantly, how can I honor his tendencies to ensure he feels valued & included in the conversation & process.
(And to note: he says he definitely wants to support & help create the visions I inspire.)
It’s all so interesting! I know I’m just breaking the tip of the iceberg, but truly–I cannot believe how many bells & whistles have gone off in just a week’s time.
Wow.
Thank you!
So much fun watching this growth escalate so quickly for you, ConnieZ! π
Keith and I have very different success setpoints. Ask Keith to define success and he will tell you he’s already there. He wakes up happy every day. Yawns, scratches his balls, looks over and sees me, remembers how good he’s got it, and knows he’s successful. Full stop.
My goals have always been very, very, very big and bold. Only since getting sober have I gotten far simpler about how I define success. But even still, I am far more ambitious than Keith is and — like with healthcare in most male/female partnerships — I am the driving force for getting things where they need to be, on behalf of both of us. If it’s left to Keith? We’re just fine as-is. No work needed.
I think we honor our partner’s tendencies by hearing them out about what they ARE. So many assumptions are made about how we MUST agree about everything because, duh, we do everything together, right? So, Keith and I *regularly* have convos about things like where HE would want to live if not here. What HE would want to do if not pursue my ambitions. How HE would like to spend his days if not for the things that fill it presently due to momentum created largely out of my ambitions. These are REGULAR convos because otherwise I set the agenda, the tone, the to-do list items, and it’s a partnership… gotta be sure my strong will doesn’t override his resting state of “we’re already there.” π
And I would add that one of the things that really helped Bonnie and me with some of this stuff is to remember that there are actually three sets of goals/ambitions that you’re dealing with, not just one… or now that you’re seeing it, two.
There are your goals and ambitions, which you just realized aren’t the only ones in your world.
There are Marc’s goals and ambitions, which you need to understand and support without judgment.
But there are also the goals and ambitions of your relationship with Marc.
I want
You want
We want together
There are three… him, you, and the relationship.
Separate them out, and don’t let the success/failure in any area affect (overmuch) the goals and ambitions that are under your control (yours and, in concert with Marc, those of you both).
Dispassionate labeling as to where each of “your” goals fit into this triangle will help you better see where energy can be efficiently spent.
Ohhh! I love the trio of desires. This is great. Simplifies everything. Thanks Keith! Going to revisit these with Tom!
Oooh, loving this partner convo!
I can relate and am here for it!
This is really great! You know, it would be super cool if there was some sort of relationship-based class co-taught by the two of you on couple dynamics and either/or creative/entrepreneurial career issues and/or woo-woo issues. The only thing even remotely akin to that that I have ever been able to find is the Love Language thing, which although insanely helpful compared to the big fat nothing I had to work with otherwise, is kind of basic.
We did a whole month on Your Relationship with Partners in Expansive Capacity earlier this year. It was epic. And one of the tracks with the new overhauled Get in Gear/Enoughness Journey will include #relationshipgoals with exactly this kind of content. π Isn’t that great?
hey y’all – !
my apologies for what may have seemed like radio silence. i read and have been processing all of the goodness you’ve offered here AND had some really great conversations, too.
Bonnie & Keith — all that you offer here has been most helpful and clarified a lot of what i think i’ve already known, but had not brought to the forefront.
i grew up in in a family with NO boundaries. so while it took me years to recognize that fact and see how i had taken on the habit (and subsequently broke the habit), i’m not sure it really sunk in that dispassionate labeling of Marc’s and my boundaries & wants (his, mine, & ours) are important, too. in general, we work so well together, it’s become easy to forget.
also, per Bonnie’s recommendation, i want to offer that i did the astroclick partner chart and it was very interesting!
Yay!
YES!
Hi,
You guys are amazing. I would love to have made this meeting, but an audition arrived in my inbox for the same day/time and I had to cancel.
So here is where I think I amβ¦ Thanks Abbey for asking all those questions. I had to listen 3 times and write your signs down to understand and track the discussion, but I think Iβve been able to parallel it to my signs and grasp where I liveβ¦
Using Bonnieβs loglines:
The structure of my house is Cancer. Cancer is ruled by the Moon. The notes I took from last meeting are Cancer is aligned with domestic activity – home and family.
My rising or how I decorate my house is Capricorn. Capricorn is ruled by Saturn. Capricorn is hard for me to understand, but according to my October meeting notes it is long term activity, practical activity, career, strategizing, and goal setting. It doesnβt seem to fit me in my thinking. I need some clarity on Capricorn.
My Moon is in Gemini. Gemini is ruled by Mercury. I think the parties I throw should be about communicating, writing, learning, and multitasking. This feels more like me. I do like to communicate / respond to others.
Any thoughts about my signs and how to work/view/understand them are appreciated. I am a total Astrology 0 kid. It feels a little out of my grasp right now.
Thanks,
Deb
Looks like you’re getting it, Deb! I’d also note that both Cancer and Capricorn are cardinal signs (they’re also opposite one another, on the wheel of astrology). So, there are a ton of personality traits that Cancer and Capricorn share (and hate about one another), but the Cancer is a water sign — emotional, sensitive, connected with so much of what OTHERS are feeling; Capricorn is an earth sign — grounded, stubborn, take-charge of all situations (but secretly worried). That moon sign — Gemini for you — is way more of how our personality expresses, for most folks. Because it’s an air sign, that’s super chatty and gregarious and friendly and inclusive… every thought comes OUT the mouth. π
I think you’re getting a good grasp of this! Remember, this is SUPER dense info from centuries of masters passing it on and interpreting it and layering it on. π To even know there’s a difference between the three core personality placements (sun, rising, moon) is a great start and I think you’re doing swell!
You’re doing great, Deb!!
Keep going!
Man… that is a BIT on the MONEY when you put it that way, Bonnie! Okay… thank you I will be taking some more steps forward this week.
Yay! Keep asking questions! π You’re totally getting this!
Today’s musing –
I love how all this stuff integrates more and more into my daily life.
I have to send an email to someone that I’ve been avoiding and not wanting to deal with. I decided that I HAVE to do it tomorrow.
And then I was like – “Wait, no! I can’t! I have to send it today because Mercury goes retrograde tomorrow and I gotta get my communication to her out there so it doesn’t get mis-construed tomorrow!!”
Hahahaha
So, I’m sending it in a bit.
Nothing like a Mercury in retrograde to give ya a little kick in the pants. π
Mercury retrograde… the ULTIMATE JFDI. LOL LOL LOL
Oooooh, y’all! I’m obsessed. This is my new homepage. https://www.theplanetstoday.com/astrology.html
Ooooooh, this is cool! Thanks, Bon!
You’re welcome! π
Like YOURS?!!!!
Ha ha ha! No, I mean, it’s the one that’s HOME on my browser, so when I start up my computer for the day, it’s what I check out to see where things are every day. π Ha ha! Sorry for the confusion!!
Haha! Well I wouldn’t be surprised ya know!
Just for the record even though I have not been able to do the last two calls, I have not suggested an alternate because my schedule is SO fluctuating that I cannot really say when I would definitely be able to commit to being on one. About the best I could do would be saying when I can NEVER do it, which is Thursdays after noon PST and Tuesdays from 1-3 PST, but everything else just kind of happens like popcorn. Auditions, ushering shifts, temp work, trial piano lessons.
Would it help to have the full schedule, m’dear?
All times pacific.

Everyone’s schedule is a bit like popcorn, so hopefully this allows for lots of variety and something that everyone can make at least more times than not. π
thank you for the year’s schedule, Bonnie!
(and, of course, i’m impressed that you do your scheduling that far out. wowza!)
For Aligned Advantage, Expansive Capacity, SMFA Elevated Masterminding, SMFA Entrepreneurial Masterminding, SMFA Tune-Up calls, and all the Get in Gear for the Next Tier LIVE calls… it’s all set through December 2020! Tee hee!
you freakin’ ROCK!
SUPER HELPFUL!!
hey y’all – !
poop! i won’t be on the zoom with you tomorrow. my first with y’all live will be in december – woot!
thoughts & questions for the call tomorrow:
i’m beginning to track patterns. yay! for example, the end of october was incredible for me! perhaps items did not align precisely to the day (some occurred before or after what i saw on the calendar), but in general it was a GREAT period of time to plan travel, think through manifesting future plans, editing creations, etc. it was gorgeous; i was walking on cloud 9!
november, on the other hand, not so great.
i’m beginning to wonder about mercury retro as it pertains to my being.
i used to think i didn’t feel it’s full effect, esp. in terms of electronics, communicating schedules, etc. but now i’m wondering if it has more of an impact in whatever is my mode of communication, perhaps more with myself…? i haven’t really unpacked this & not really sure where to start. per our discussion re: my chart — i know my mercury is in taurus; both mars & venus in gemini; and my 12th is in cancer. are those clues?
if this discussion re: the various ways mercury retro affects our individual alignments is good for the call, yay!
if not, no worries — we can hash it out here.
thank you, loves.
have fun! catch you on the back side – !
I found a chart I did in 2009 and it said 7:32 pm for birth time (that came from my dad who was in to specifics) and 7:30pm from my mom (not specific) would this make a massive difference? I am following the 7:30pm for now
I am starting out simple as I get a little lost with symbols etc. I have printed out a chart of them but when I get to the grid with CFM I lose some understanding. So will keep checking in.
Sun: Virgo
Rising: Pisces
Moon: Gemini
Would any of this represent how my relationship with technology is with a struggle? Virgo and Gemini ruled by Mercury? And life is a mix of chaos (Pisces)? lol.
I have in Cardinal: F, A, E, W (6)
Fixed: A,E,W (3)
Muteable: F,A,E,W (5)
Planets in Fire: 4
Air: 5
Earth: 3
Water: 3
Does this have a relationship with the doshas in yoga? I am Pitta dominant and Vata second.
In my 12th house there is zero. Is this also possibly why it feels like it is tricky to be seen? Possibly a reason why I went to explosives to get noticed? (lol…seriously tho)
When those are missing that means we are looking to find balance in these areas?
Also there is nothing in 3, 5, 9, 10
This is really cool and I feel that following the calendar is super fun! Very much in line with it actually. The past 3 weeks have been a total fuckery and I am super happy to be working in self-care portion for Expansive Capacity! I would have used the bingo but the new bathroom has a steam shower and I am in there everyday after yoga or sorting through the move. I can’t wait for tomorrow or with my luck—the end of the week lol! I am checking in every day with the calendar and scheduling around it for sure. It feels like my bingo right now!
Can’t wait for that Virgo moon in the next couple of days! LOVE those GSD days HOOOLY!
Just something I happen to know…in Astro.com if you want to change your birth time to see if it makes a difference, you totally can! You just edit your info. You don’t have to make an additional account.
Question for the call, though I think I can join this time! I just have to leave around 2/2:30 PST for work.
I want to do a character breakdown(s) for ideal friends in my life, as you suggested to someone on a recent livestream. I had the insight that although what I mainly feel that causes me to think I need changes are the pinches, I need to frame things positively in order to actually be useful. For example, one peeve I have mentioned before is people who, when I express a desire around growth or change, need to counter that with “reassurance” that I am fine as I am, or even flat out object. I realized that what I then need to include in the breakdown is something like, “growth-oriented, committed to personal development, confident” because that’s the kind of person who will be supportive of positive change, understand that my desire to be the best possible version of myself does NOT come from insecurity but from a belief that I am worth doing the work for, and will not feel threatened by changes I make. I would really love to find a time that’s going to be not only good for relationship work, but in having the insight to look at the other things that I just don’t want and find the positive quality to look for that’s going to essentially ensure the crummy thing doesn’t pop up. Like I don’t get along past a surface level with people who are deadly earnest and easily offended, so another thing I might add is “likes Ricky Gervais”. But I can tell that say, today I am not quite in the zone for that work because I came up with that first example a while ago, and the Ricky Gervais example is a little too specific. I could do the exercise today if I had to but I am not really in a space today –I am feeling the urge to declutter and reevaluate relationships strongly, just like the calendar says, but not really tapping into the part of my brain that can go, “if a person is acting in such-and-such a way, then they lack this particular quality”.
Second question: Today is a good declutter/research evaluate day and I am feeling it, so a big activity is going through my information channels and calendar and figuring out exactly what all I am giving my time and attention to and what actually yields things that I take action on, and get rid of some of the memberships and subscriptions that I just don’t have time to do anything about.
3rd — Also going to try to do a taping of me singing in December, sometime after the first week….could wait for January. I would’ve done it yesterday with that Leo moon but I am just shaking off some bronchitis, not ideal for singing! Looking for a day where it’s going to be pretty easy for me to project confidence, get to the studio in NJ by train without misadventure, and where I feel connected to my emotions as well as physically energized. Tall order!!!
