Today's Moon in serious and responsible Capricorn trined Uranus at 6:46AM EDT (productive flow, moving forward with new, future or tech focused projects/commitments) and then sextiles the Sun at 3:21PM EDT - more energy for getting stuff done.
Even better news Venus escapes Scorpio for the fresher (and more optimistic) pastures of Sagittarius. We want something more. We want something better.
The grass actually is greener over THERE.
It's time to widen our reach/explore different opportunities.
From the weekly:
"Sagittarius Suns and Ascendants (1st house cusps) get more attractive now - both able to attract what they want/need and easier on the eye.
All of us get a visit from Venus in our Sagittarius houses (what house or houses carry Venus energy in your natal chart?) and those houses get more magnetic.
Sagittarius is the sign of the archer.
If we were archers - we would gather our energy. We would pull back our bow. We would take aim.
We would hold our bow "in tension".
This holding position is important to landing our arrow where we intend it to go - to hit our target.
(of course, if we are in some kind of life and death battle with that arrow then I guess we just let it fly and hope for the best, but most situations we are facing are not quite so dire)
The same way an archer's "in tension" allows her arrow to hit her mark, our own "intentions" release our energy where we need it to go.
Intentions are not wishes; they are not hopes - wanting to do something is 180 degrees from intending to do it.
Intention releases the potential that makes things happen.
So, we have Venus (love, women, beauty, what we value, our self esteem, money) moving into the sign of "potential".
Experience is more valuable than stuff with Sagittarius.
Venus will be in Sagittarius through November 25th - experiences will be valuable now.
Money (Venus) spent on travel will be well spent. Money (Venus) spent on other Sagittarius themes - higher education, legal issues, weddings, politics - will probably pay off, too, in the experiences we get back.
The search we began when Venus dove into Scorpio continues. But now instead of looking at the stuff that is underneath, the underpinnings none of us really want to look at, she looks way out into the horizon at the stuff we might one day meet up with.
Sagittarius is the sign of faith. Do we have faith that better days are ahead for us?
We attract what we want and need by optimistically embracing potential now. We don't have to know how this is all going to turn out, we know there will be adventure here - if we embrace what we do with an adventurous heart.
Yes, it's risky. And Sagittarians have been known to fall on their ass and even off a cliff now and then. But is there really any alternative to not trying?
This is the season of faith and potential for all Venus ruled themes - love, money, women, beauty, self-esteem, our values. How are we going to use this energy?
Remember the archer.
The archer stays focused and holds herself "in tension" through all the noise.
We have our bow drawn and we are focused on the target, but suddenly the dog barks, the phone rings, the guy next door starts blasting Adele and you know we have to stop and listen to that.
(and sometimes this noise can last a while and sometimes life sends us noise to test our intentions and see how badly we want something or sometimes the noise could be there to delay us because there is something better for us later or other people's arrows need to line up with ours)
Because once that arrow is released, it is released. There is no grabbing it midair and straightening that baby out (unless you have some super power that I would be totally jealous to find out about).
We have to have faith enough to release the arrow anyway.
Bulls-eyes can be highly over-rated.
Sometimes it's the missed targets (did you know the word "sin" was originally an archery term that meant - "to miss the mark") that lead to the best adventures!
Remember even rock solid things, and actually especially rock solid things, will turn to dust eventually if they are allowed to just sit there.
Shake things up a little. Reach for something new."
The first week of so of November we are still dealing with Mars squares to Saturn (in our rear-view mirror, but still in play) and Pluto (exact on November 5th).
How hard this is hitting you will depend on whether the planets are interacting with your natal planets/points or whether you have Mars/Pluto or Mars/Saturn aspects in your birth chart (current transits will activate natal aspects). Mars/Saturn is (basically) pent-up frustration/roadblocks and Mars/Pluto is a compulsive desire to push forward/become more powerful.
Both are stressors.
Saturn is forcing us to not fly off all willy-nilly. We need a solid plan. We need structure. Pluto is making sure we are stepping into the power we naturally carry. Are we going to manipulate situations or force something to be under our control or are we going to be our authentic selves with our own AUTHENTIC POWER. Even letting go of losing battles so the "fight" loses steam rather than gaining power.
Mercury is retrograde for pretty much the entire month.
We know to expect mis-commmunications, travel delays, mechanical glitches and some disappointing or frustrating setbacks. It will also pay to remember Mercury rules not only Gemini (ruler of all this stuff typically mentioned with a Mercury retrograde) but also VIRGO. So health situations, pet situations, our day-to-day activities and work are all subject to a deep re-structuring/re-view while Mercury is retrograde. Plus our natal Scorpio house themes.
For today - the Cappy Moon is full steam ahead with our goals, responsibilities and ambitions. Venus's move makes us more attractive to our potential. Maybe even more lucky. Mercury will be digging up some uncomfortable truths, but also some resources we had probably forgotten about or never knew we even had ....
