Today's Astrology Forecast | November 24, 2019 - risk and reward, love expands, what we want wants us right back, a silver lining with any break now

The Moon, in Scorpio now so nurtured through intimacy/depth/merging, meets Mars at 6:36AM EST (passion, initiative, conflict), moves into an opposition to Uranus at 6:51AM EST (break-ups, breakthroughs, breakdowns - maybe a preview of Mars/Uranus in a few hours) and finally conjuncts Mercury at 10:40PM EST (deep conversations, verbal intimacy, getting to the bottom of things, crunching the numbers, our heart and head aligned). This is an active/emotional Moon, so we will be feeling our way through things.

This is the day Venus catches up with Jupiter (28 degrees Sagittarius) on their way out of Sag and conjunct the Galactic Center (black hole at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy - seat of creation). This could feel very good or very disappointing. Somehow we GET ALOT. Love grows. We are more attractive to luck, so apt to GET LUCKY. Good fortune. We expand our reach through socializing, through kindness, through our faith in other people. We are attracted to that green grass over there/to what is foreign to us/to what feels like a STRETCH.

At the same time Mars (in Scorpio) moves through his opposition to "anything-can-happen" Uranus (in Taurus). Impulsive action - which we could regret, so be careful here, if this is something you had never thought about before. Our actions may surprise us as well as the actions of other people. If something needs to change though - here is the energy to make that happen very quickly. Keep in mind Scorpio and Taurus don't play, so bridges may be burned here.

Breakdowns. Break-ups. Breakthroughs.

I lived through this entire scenario last week, with a dream come true right in the palm of my hand, which I then looked at more closely (Mercury was still retrograde then, so this should be more stable THIS week), so closely I could only see the one problem in the dream, which being the over-thinking Aquarian I am designed to be, lost sight of the 90% good stuff, and blew up the whole thing before it even really got started which I have deeply regretted all week, although my faith in my own intuitive core and the astrology here of a silver lining have kept me moving forward and will do the same for you if you screw this up, but hopefully YOU WON'T.

And I am not saying I did, but maybe I did, although there was a dark underbelly that would have been hard for me to work with. But, still ... sniffle.

This combination Venus/Jupiter coupled with Mars/Uranus speaks of RISK AND REWARD.

All year we've had this theme of what we have to give up to get to something better/more stable/more expansive/more authentic. Maybe this is more of that.

If we attract (Venus) something incredible we will have to have the faith to see it through, even though we can't see exactly where all this is going. And keep in mind with Venus/Jupiter we will tend to 'pay too much' in one way or the other and things tend to turn out not quite as rosy as we pictured. 

On the other hand, if something collapses/breaks, we will have to have the faith to see this was necessary to get us to the space of really knowing what we want (maybe by losing it?). This "losing it" might not need to happen if we are already clear on wanting what we get/have here and not too fussy that it isn't exactly what we ordered up. On the other hand - does that make two or three hands now? - this "losing it" might HAVE to happen because it isn't the right thing/right now and that dark underbelly, if there is one, is .. well, just too dark.

As always authenticity/knowing ourselves/trusting life MATTERS.  

As of right now, my experience with this transit has been heartbreaking (and having almost no one but myself to blame is doubling the impact), but likely because I moved too fast and then pulled back, throwing myself ahead of my horse, so to speak, and landing on my ass.

So if you are going to go for it - go for it. Move toward that BIG LOVE/what your heart wants. Don't let fear hold you back or the idea that something isn't exactly perfect. If something breaks apart - have faith in the silver lining and that life has a bigger/better plan lining up for us, the New Moon on Tuesday will help see to that ....

xo all

Sorry to be so insufferably vague about my situation, but I feel it still ironing itself out somehow in some way I can't quite foresee (no clear crystal ball here I am afraid) and that I do not want my written words to influence the outcome - oh, and buy a lottery ticket ...

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.
