Today's Astrology Forecast | Sunday, November 22, 2020 - inspiration meets innovation, a break in our routine, moving ahead without the facts, stopped in our tracks, cruising for a bruising

 

 

The Moon is floating through Pisces now - she trined Venus while we slept (EST) and sextiles a retrograde Uranus (change is good) at 2:10PM EST. 

Mercury (at 15 degrees Scorpio) inconjuncts Mars in Aries. 

 

The ground tilled for an argument/impulsive or angry words that might cut/hurt. Our ideas/thoughts and the actions we need to/want to take forming a 'rock and a hard place'.  Both needing to give a little bit. Our thinking might be skewed - in Scorpio, too fixed/obsessive. Our actions too selfish maybe. Mars has been sitting at 15 degrees Aries for so long already, almost waiting for Mercury to catch up, maybe the argument just stewing within him. Maybe the passion. Then Mercury comes in with the TRUTH he's dug up in Scorpio (intimate, financial, life/death), but Mars doesn't want to hear about it. He just wants to MOVE (he won't get off 15 degrees until the 24th). Or maybe there's nothing he can do about it - feet drying in cement as he is. So just plowing ahead without the facts isn't going to work.

 

Or that's the scene that is set for us. We can't win, but we might not have to lose either. Inconjuncts require adjustments on both sides. Inconjuncts are annoying.

 

Let's keep in mind the smooth lunar aspects - that trine to Venus (in Scorpio now, so more intense) - knowing our worth/what should be merged/purged, just watch your benjamins now. Money can move in and then out just as quickly. And there's that sextile (opportunity) with a retrograde Uranus - doing what we've done before, but doing it differently this time. Or bringing change to an old situation. Here is the pleasant surprise/chance encounter.

 

Inspiration meets innovation.

The Sun has moved into Sag yesterday and although it's a heavier than usual Sagittarius season ahead of us - with ruler Jupiter still in his detriment in Capricorn and the South Node in Sag - we should be able to sense the wider landscape even now/glimpse the blue skies.

Today's Astrology Forecast | Friday, November 20, 2020 - taking action, especially independent action, will feel better than over-thinking/over-analyzing, long void Moon ahead - plan to chill out

 

The Moon, in Aquarius now so nurtured through ideas/groups/common goals/technology, squares a retrograde Uranus at 5:41AM EST, squares Mercury at 3:15PM EST, and goes void at 7:48PM EST off a sextile to Mars. She moves into watery Pisces at 11:06PM TOMORROW. So, void tonight and most of the day and night tomorrow - keep this in mind. A break from tech then can be particularly regenerating.

The squares to Uranus and Mercury can make us antsy today. Maybe apt to saying things we might regret later. Overthinking situations. Scorpio wants to focus/merge. Aquarius wants to think ahead/detach. Uranus in Taurus pulls in changes/disruptions with our resources/values/self-esteem.

The best aspect today is that sextile to Mars.

 

Action will feel good. Independent or innovative action will feel even better. 

 

Mulling things over/overthinking/thinking too far ahead will not feel so good. So, what needs to be done regardless? Mars is kind of sitting in place until November 24th. We are moving forward and getting our ducks in a row all at the same time. 

 

This is the last day of Venus in her home sign. Tomorrow she will replace the Sun in Scorpio as the Sun moves into Sagittarius. Collectively, they'll be no more energies in cordial Libra. Keep this in mind.

Tonight/tomorrow's long void Moon would be a good time to relax. Chill out. Nothing will come of anything during a void Moon anyway, and we have two planets changing signs, so keep your actions routine - it's not the time to launch anything. It is an excellent time to be creative. 

 

Time gets stretchy. 

xo all - we'll look ahead to the Eclipses this weekend, so stay tuned ...

Today's Astrology Forecast | Thursday, November 19, 2020 - going deep and then taking responsibility for what we find there

 

The Moon continues her journey through sober Capricorn meeting up with all the Cappy planets. She conjuncts Pluto at 2:58AM EST, Jupiter at 4:42AM EST and finally Saturn at 10:51AM EST. At 11:15AM EST she squares Venus and then goes void off an intense and opportunistic sextile with the Scorpio Sun at 11:29AM EST. 

 

That's alot before lunch, so we'd better pace ourselves! She will be void until 3:25PM EST when she moves into lighter/higher Aquarius. 

Today's Waxing Sextile - Capricorn/Scorpio - asks us to integrate/harmonize the events of last week's New Moon in Scorpio.  

 

This Scorpian situation - the loss, death, financial, intimate story-line the dark Moon has asked us to walk with/move through/deal with gets some earthy traction through solid/stabilizing Capricorn. 

 

If we swim out of those dark Scorpian waters we can reach a shoreline. We can find some grounding. Just do the thing that is right there to do. Stand up. The opportunity (sextile) comes through combining the deep/intense with the sober/practical. Big girl pants on now is the key to this situation. Standing in our power. Taking responsibility. Being realistic. What would a Capricorn/grown-up/your grandmother do? 

 

Do some of that. 

 

At the same time - and keep in mind the Moon (in Cappy) is squaring Venus today - Venus squares Saturn (ruler of Cappy, strong in his home sign). Here's her final Cappy square (she has already squared Jupiter and Pluto) with both Venus and Saturn direct and in their home signs. 

 

Keep in mind what is happening this year because Venus (relationships/resources/justice/fairness/feminine) is a very BIG part of the 2020 storyline.

 

Venus is strong in Libra. When I wrote the weekly back on Sunday I wrote my usual Venus/Saturn - the wall/the no, feeling unloved/unwanted/old, and that might be true/trueish, but what else is true is we can't discount the strength of Venus in her home sign! There's still that Saturnian pressure, especially within our relationships, but we've got the divine Goddess in all her power, too!

 

While Saturn has spent 2020 holding court in Cappy - with a whole lot of energies answering to him. Venus (our love, relationships, money, resources, women) finally gets into her home sign after a hell of a year and she finds herself having to deal with this outer authority crap. No way around this. No way out. Financial crisis. Relationship imbalance. What's the girl to do? Well, alot actually. Venus (as us) is our divine Goddess energy and she is strong and stable in her home sign of Libra. She (as us) is fair, powerful, just, can attract what she needs - CATCHES MORE FLIES WITH HONEY - the most natural of feminine skills can be put to good use here.

 

Maybe we shouldn't be so fast to agree she is less powerful than Saturn - this keeps us stuck in the old game where we are agreeing something/someone else is more powerful/needed/stronger than we are! 

Keep in mind where we are. We are past the point in the game where we always died before. It is normal to be afraid/unsure, but we are going to have to 'feel the fear and do it anyway'. We don't have to get this exactly right. One right step will lead to the next. And then to the next. Life is no longer about 'what is going to happen' - it is about 'what we are going to do' - the happen part has happened. 

Stay in your power. Stay in your integrity. Saturn is weeks away from leaving Cappy for Aquarius and won't be back for 29 years. He co-rules Aquarius, so is looking forward to this new leg of his journey. Believe me, he (authority) is as sick of these rules/limits/kings as everyone else. Aquarius is co-ruled by Uranus and Uranus is in Taurus and will be during Saturn's entire transit of Aquarius and Uranus is answering to VENUS. These two energies are old friends, not enemies. It's a good thing we are only getting so far right now although we can't see that yet. Jupiter/Pluto is still in play until the 24th and that's when Mars finally gets off that 15th degree of Aries - this is powerful/transformational energy and we have access to this for all these days for a reason. 

For today we have that Scorpio/Capricorn sextile - go deep and then take responsibility for what you find there.

Today's astrology Forecast | Tuesday, November 17th, 2020 - the last word, news we should have seen coming, breakthroughs, breakdowns, red-tape, measure twice because this would be the "cut once" part

 

 

The Moon is void until 11:35AM EST when she moves into Capricorn.

 

Her only aspect today was a late night sextile with Venus (in Libra) while she was still in Sagittarius at 2:54AM EST. This is kind of a repeating aspect of yesterday's Venus/Jupiter. Then the square - frustration/tension - now, here's the sextile - opportunity. 

 

What do we have faith in now?

Mercury (in Scorpio) opposes Uranus (in Taurus). Buckle up. Here is news that shakes things up. Maybe also clears the air. This is the third time we are moving through this aspect - so some issue should be wrapping up. If we have been biting our tongue about something and now decide to speak up - I hope you have measured twice because this would be the "cut once" part.

 

We talked about this is the weekly:

 

Mercury in Scorpio opposes Uranus in Taurus at 8 degrees. Surprising news/information. Abrupt/unsettling conversations/announcements/decisions. This can also be a breakthrough/breakdown. Liberation. Due to Mercury's recent retrograde - we are still walking old degrees and not quite out of the woods here - this is their THIRD opposition. Third time's the charm/three strikes we're out. We had the first on October 7th and the second (retrograde - where we were going back over whatever came out near the 7th) on October 19th. This is the #unexpected, #notunexpected news/information coming out. This will have its feet in our Scorpio house theme or the collective themes of - other people's resources, other people's values, intimacy, other people's money, spouse's income, merged resources, loans, debts, taxes, inheritance, sex, reproduction.  

Sometimes Uranus aspects hit early (plus this is in play for a couple days before and after), so this might have already happened. Any contact between our lower mind (Mercury) and our higher mind (Uranus) is an opportune time for mental breakthroughs - also breakdowns and over-thinking, so keep this in mind, too.

If news is delivered now, it will likely be intense/un-moving. 

 

This is Mercury, so drive safely. Check your oil. Back up your files. 

 

The Moon is in steady-Eddie Capricorn, flying unaspected, so sort of by the seat of her pants (and a Cappy Moon's 'seat-of-her-pants' is still pretty damn realistic and useful) - stay practical/common-sense. Embrace whatever hoops are required of you. Take the next step even if you feel you are drowning in red tape. 

 

Tomorrow is a better day!
