Today's Astrology Forecast | November 23, 2019 - a light shines on something healing, taking transformative action, good date night, keep a cool head and drive safely

The Moon, in partnership-focused Libra and so nurtured through other people now - squared Saturn while we slept and squares Pluto (tension around power struggles, other people's money, emotional transformation within relationships) at 10:31AM EST, making relationship issues potentially stressful early in the day and this time best for solitary work.

By the evening she is in much better spirits, sextiling (opportunity) Venus, her ruler while in Libra, at 8:59PM EST, and then going void off a sextile to Jupiter an hour later.

A good date night, good for creativity and socializing.

In the meantime Mars is moving toward his exact opposition to chaotic Uranus (exact tomorrow) so take care driving, avoid unneeded arguments and any impulsive bridge burnings - keep the knives in the drawer people!

The best news today is we have our Sun (freshly minted in optimistic Sagittarius) trining Chiron (in Aries) while Mars (in Scorpio) sextiles Ceres (freshly minted in Capricorn).

Sun/Chiron suggests addressing what hurts with greater faith and optimism. A light could shine on something healing now. Mars/Ceres is about taking transformative action around change of life situations, nurturing, special pets, mothering, things that feel outside our control. 

And keep in mind our North Node in Cancer's imperative for us to take care of ourselves, too. 

The Moon will dive into Scorpio at 12:48AM EST. Have a happy Saturday everyone!

Today's Astrology Forecast | November 22, 2019 - lightening up, thinking about the possibilities, making a vision board, planning our next adventure

Today's Moon in partnership-nurtured Libra moves through the day unaspected. This could make it harder to get anything going today. Just keep moving forward. The Moon is waning so there is undoubtedly something that needs wrapping up.

With Mercury direct now and the Sun moving into the "bigger-is-better" greener pastures of Sagittarius today, the intensity of the last few weeks will be easing up day-by-day.

We move to a higher ground with a clearer focus.

Sagittarius is a fun-loving sign that rules travel, freedom, adventure, legal stuff, higher education, luck (based on what we believe), faith, religion, prayer, optimism, problem solving, truth seekers, boldly going where no man has gone before, the quest.

The Sun will shine a light on something here.

It also rules carelessness, taking shortcuts, thinking we are right, making assumptions, throwing pink paint on problems and hoping they will go away, overconfidence, impatience and superficial fluff.  

The Sun will shine a light on something here, too. It's time to address the stuff that is keeping us playing small.


The Sun will also shine a light, and give an energetic boost to with his presence, the theme of the house in your natal chart with Sagittarius on the cusp. 

Sagittarius is a mutable sign. The mutable signs prepare us for the change into the next season. We put on the sweater. We put away the sweater. We adjust.

Mutable signs are service signs and Sagittarius is in service through the exploration of Truth - this could be legal truth or political truth but its most especially spiritual truth - its highest purpose is enlightenment and expanding what is known.

The lower level energies rule religious wars, legal battles and political bullshit. A brighter light on this crap? - ugh, no fun!

With only a few more days of Jupiter in his home sign (Sagittarius) and with most of this year spent under the draining effects of Neptune's square, hopefully there is something we can sink our teeth into here over the next few days.

What we believe becomes much more important than what we know now. There is a reason the season belongs to that chubby guy in the red suit!

With Venus (attraction) meeting Jupiter (our beliefs) on Sunday - optimism, positivity and our beliefs in something bigger/better will give our attraction powers extra OOMPH.

With Venus and the Sun (not to mention Jupiter) in Sagittarius now - this is a good day to look toward a brighter, more EXPANSIVE future.

This would be an excellent weekend to make a vision board.

I believe vision boards should be compiled thoughtfully but not too thoughtfully - we want to keep our right brain from gumming up the works as much as possible. This isn't about just grabbing a bunch of pictures of stuff we want.

Use the images and words that are calling your name - don't over-think it.

xo all 

I should also say that with Venus/Jupiter happening on the Galactic Center (black hole at the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way - about which not alot is known) - it might be just as easy for something to swoosh out of our life as in.

Today's Astrology Forecast | November 20, 2019 - a load off our mind, the indecision ends, moving forward from this deeper/more intimate and more honest space

The Moon is in solid, practical Virgo now - we are nurtured through taking care of the day-to-day stuff, getting things organized, dotting our i's and crossing our t's, being of service to others. Other people will be, too.

The Moon trined a retrograde Uranus at 3:12AM EST (maybe we wake with an "aha!" moment or practical, yet creative ideas about how to change or improve something) and goes on to sextile Mercury at 4:32PM EST (rational/reasonable conversations that move situations forward).

This is a couple hours after Mercury stations direct - Mercury retrograde ends at 2:12PM EST - so talks, communications, contracts, commerce, all get green-lighted now. 

We are ready to move forward with what we KNOW after this back and forth of the last few weeks. The beans have been spilled (secrets out). The information thoroughly plowed through.

Any ways we have misinterpreted/misunderstood the FACTS are apparent now. We are moving forward from this space of greater clarity.

Mercury won't be covering totally new ground until December 7th, so there will still be some clean-up to do. Our Moon in Virgo today will help.

Ceres move into sober Capricorn means she is squaring Chiron now. Cycle of life issues, tough love nurturing that feels more like punishment, situations that are outside our control are particularly painful and trigger other/older times we stood up for ourselves or allowed ourselves to get angry or had to tackle something all alone.

Throughout 2019 we have had Saturn on the South Node in Capricorn. We are CLOSING out some very big cycles that have carried us, and our ancestors, through many centuries. The South Node has lightened our load, but it can feel like we have lost things we still need - but we do not for this next part of our journey (I know we might still not be seeing how this is possible, but it is). 

We could be dealing with fear and grief over the fact we can't go back. Regrets. The stuff behind us isn't even there anymore.

Keep in mind the North Node is in Cancer, allowing our vulnerabilities to show/moving toward what feels like home/what makes us more HUMAN brings out the best in our Capricorn house that is being unrooted.

We have been/are being moved away from primal attachments and Saturn (as us) hangs on to things, he doesn't let go. Our bodies - and Saturn rules our 3D reality - are genetically programmed to crave what is familiar (see the work of Candace Pert and others), so this can be painful and challenging work.

There is a certain comfort in sitting in a situation that is never going to work out - that allows us to play comfortably small, but with Jupiter moving into Capricorn in just a couple weeks - whatever we are carrying is going to get BIGGER. Fresh starts will grow, but so will our winter asses - and business challenges, bad-marriages and financial quagmires - whatever we carry with us.

(it is human-nature to crave change, BUT we want to pick and choose what changes - we want a fun, and profitable creative business (for example), but we still want to sit on the couch with an asshole boyfriend who treats us like crap on Saturday night and watch the tellie - it is situations like this where we split ourselves into multiple people that pull us out of our integrity - in this example wanting other people to value us/what we create when we don't value us - so we are teetering on an unsteady ladder just waiting for a strong wind to knock us on our ass - with Mars in Scorpio until the end of the year the potential for self-sabotage greatly increases)

Whatever we think has happened to us

whether we have been humbled or humiliated - this is the part that is up to us.

Today's Astrology Forecast | November 19, 2019 - fiery females, our natural spotlight vs our fears or some truth that's been dug up, focused efforts, major download/reboot around what we believe is possible

We begin the day with the Moon in a nice trine to Venus (in Sagittarius) the feminine energies are fiery, passionate - ready to GO. She will move on to trine (brakes off) expansive Jupiter this afternoon.

The Moon goes void at 4:11PM EST in fun-loving, but also proud and stubborn Leo, off a square to the Sun (in Scorpio), giving us this month's Third Quarter Square and continuing to perform while void. This is tension/frustration between what our heart wants/our own natural space in the spotlight vs whatever has been uncovered during Scorpio season/secrets/fears/the gunk underneath the shiny spaces. Obsession. Manipulation. Jealousy. Maybe fear of stepping up out of the shadows and onto the main stage?

At 8:54PM EST the Moon moves into practical and organized Virgo where she will sextile Mars (now in Scorpio) at 9:47PM EST. We are reflecting on how we take action. Thinking our next steps through.

The big news today is Mars move into the fixed waters of Scorpio - a sign he once ruled and is still uber comfortable ... and somewhat dangerous. Our actions become more focused, more strategic, more committed.

We talked about this in the weekly, but here's a repeat - Mars will be in Scorpio through the rest of 2019.

"Mars here can be good for our physical energy since Scorpio is continually re-generating itself. So, maybe we go to bed exhausted and drained, but somehow we still wake up ready to give the world another go. Or maybe we finally get used to the time change! WTH it makes me crazy!

Because Scorpio rules our 8th house of compulsions and obsessions we could find our actions driven by our impulses. If you find yourself caught in a loop - STOP - ask yourself - why am I doing this again? why am I so mad? why do I want this so badly? what am I really trying to do?

We can get alot done with Mars in Scorpio, let's just make sure it is stuff worth doing.

Scorpio rules death (and the inevitable rebirth that follows), so our actions can be focused on cutting off what we don't want. With Mars move into Scorpio on Mercury's last day retrograde here - maybe on things we no longer want.

Scorpio is our fixed water sign. It's job is to strengthen our emotions. But fixed water is well, kind of fixed. Think frozen. Think concrete. Think quicksand. It can make it hard to change course if we get too emotionally wedded to whatever it is we are focused on.

Stay flexible somehow.

This is a good time to take action with Scorpio ruled themes - other people's resources, debts, loans, inheritances, mortgages, taxes, insurance payments, intimacy, sex, reproduction, death issues, stuff that is dead in the water (or caught in the quicksand). With Mars blasting through this collective area we will have more energy, initiative and control over these subjects than we usually do.

Keep in mind we will also be more passionate about them and easier to anger. 

Mars in Scorpio moves toward an uncomfortable inconjunct (rock and a hard place) with Chiron in Aries - exact on Thursday. Old wounds around standing up for ourselves, being able to take care of ourselves, stuff that is outside our control and our wounded male warrior energy are triggered by our actions and those of other people. Intimacy/the merging of resources etc will come at a cost. Standing up for ourselves will come at a cost.

No easy way through this (in play for a couple days).

Jupiter - making his way over the Galactic Center (seat of creation) reaches exactness now.

This is a once in twelve year download and our natal Jupiter (our beliefs about what is possible, etc) becomes a brand-new man.

Keep in mind the Galactic Center is located in Sagittarius, the space Jupiter rules, so this could be a gentle expanding into greener pastures right "over there" (the other energies at play this week, make me think this could as easily be an uncomfortable expanding by way of endings/chaotic change - stay flexible).

Venus will meet Jupiter here this week (annual download for her) attracting what we believe/have faith in -  

What do we really believe is possible? What do we have faith in NOW?

Our beliefs are shifting as a brand new Jupiter heads toward his own conjunction with Saturnian cement (in game-changer Aquarius) at the END of 2020.
