ASTROLOGY FOR THE WEEK OF DEC 26 2022-JAN 1 2023

MON DEC 26

This week see’s the end of this year and the beginning of a new one. The week begins with the Moon in Aquarius conjunct Saturn, which can see a lot of a work to do and a lot of new things to adapt to. With Venus trine Uranus, and both Venus and Mercury conjunct Pluto, but Mercury not quite reaching Pluto before it stations retrograde on Thursday, this highlights powerful changes and even upgrades being made. In some instances, power dynamics in relationships may need a sea change, so that negative patterns are no longer repeated. In others, Mercury’s backtrack represents a process of adjustment to a series of creative changes that represent major upgrades and strides towards progress. The end of December can see some power moves that open up new possibilities that may take some getting used to, even if they’re ultimately beneficial. For some, this can be a labor of love.

TUES DEC 27

The Moon enters Pisces at 2:34 AM PST, to square Mars Rx in Gemini while sextile the Sun in Capricorn and semisquare Venus and Mercury. This mathscape is creative and experimental in nature, but with a purpose or end goal in mind. The Sun, Venus, Mercury and Pluto in Capricorn are ambitious, determined, and goal oriented, while the Moon in Pisces square Mars is creative, adaptable, whimsical and excited, almost as if it’s got something up it’s sleeve. There can be inspiration, excitement, and imagination fused together with an enterprising spirit. The Moon goes on to sextile Uranus, seeing even more imaginative and experimental energy enter the fore. Today can see some interesting twists, and something can take us by surprise. These configurations are great for creative endeavors of all kinds and can see new ideas emerge around what’s possible. New visions can be tested out over the coming days. The Pisces lunation is a bit sleepy, but the square to Mars calls for activity, so there can be a bit of energetic overwhelm to navigate, but in either case, the day can see inspired initiatives and creative innovations in the works. 

WED DEC 28

The Moon in Pisces conjunct Neptune and Juno while trine Pallas, makes inspiring sextile’s to Venus and Mercury in Capricorn. This can see imagination fuse with reality in a productive way. There can be constructive meetings or conversations today, or it can be easier to see the possibilities contained within certain situations, dynamics, or projects. Support from behind the scenes can pay off, and there can be strategic advancements.  Mercury and Venus sextile Neptune and conjunct Pluto can see behind the scenes creative endeavors, partnerships, talks, money moves, or projects that can shift things significantly and change the playing field considerably. In the very least, there are things in the works that stand to really make an impact. The Moon sextile’s Pluto as the day wears on, and it can feel like a whole new ballpark is being entered into, which is apropos considering the New Year is right around the corner. This can see the year closing out on a bit of a climactic note, with the feeling that much has been achieved, but Mercury’s backtrack will see a need to consolidate achievements and work out the kinks in new arrangements.

THURS DEC 29

Mercury stations retrograde at 1:32 AM PST, and the Moon enters action oriented Aries at 2:36 AM PST while conjunct Jupiter and square the Sun. There is a lot of optimism around new initiatives, projects, dynamics, or a new era that has been kicked off. There’s also a lot of discipline, responsibility or work involved. Mercury stationing retrograde in Capricorn provides an opportunity to get things right going into the new year to get the most out of new structures or agreements set into place. Of course there can be some technical or communication glitches to work out, but there is a lot of promise here. Today can see enthusiasm and excitement around new potentials, and a feeling of growth and expansion. The Moon conjoins Chiron and forms a sextile to Mars while semisquare Saturn as the day wears on, signifying the importance of timing around certain initiatives. There can be compassion and sensitivity, as well as a feeling of vulnerability, but this is a “feel the fear and do it anyway” kind of atmosphere. The planets in Capricorn are ambitious and driven, and the Moon in Aries has enthusiasm to spare. 

FRI DEC 30

The Moon squares Mercury, Venus, and eventually Pluto, while sextile Saturn, and this can see a lot of pressure to succeed. Early on, the Moon is still conjunct Chiron, which can see a certain sentimentality or sensitivity as the day begins. As we reach the afternoon and early evening hours, these configurations are seemingly all business. There is a certain grit here that can really knuckle down to a task, with a keen eye on seeing results. This math can also equally see some intense discussions or negotiations on the table to sort out or get to the bottom of. For some, this can see the completion of projects in the works, with an intense amount of focus and determination. With all of these planets in Capricorn, something solid and concrete can be the result of hard work and consistency. There is a focus here on achievement, and a new era can be unlocked as we approach the new year. This is an incredibly driven and ambitious mathscape. There may be an almost obsessive fixation on something, or in the very least, getting something completed or making something happen. This is the kind of math that can see people working themselves into the ground on something. Talks, news, commerce, collaborative projects, and communications are also highlighted, with a bent towards reaching breakthroughs or milestones.

SAT DEC 31

It’s the final day of 2022, and the Moon is void of course at 4:44 AM, seeing a point of reflection after dynamic efforts. The Moon enters easy going and sensual Taurus at 9:08 AM PST, to trine the Sun in Capricorn. This can see a pinnacle being reached, and New Years Eve can see a turning point to celebrate. The Moon conjoins Uranus as the day wears on, which can see excitement in the air, and there may be some surprises or reveals to anticipate which have been the result of a lot of hard work. Venus and Pluto are exactly conjunct at 27 degrees, which can see an intensity permeating relationships, friendships, desires, money situations, ambitions, or creative projects. There’s an obsessiveness and raw power here that can be immensely productive if used constructively, but there can also be elements of intimidation or a hint of the taboo permeating the atmosphere. These configurations can also see some intense and compelling attractions and/or some creative or financial breakthroughs. Transformation, advancement and up-leveling is the dominating theme.  Venus and Pluto together are a deadly serious, sultry, and unstoppable combo. Sometimes Venus and Pluto can highlight taboo desires or relationships, or major transformations via a merging of energies. Intense power dynamics, power disparities, or an interchanging of dominant and submissive roles can factor into certain dynamics. In either case, Venus conjunct Pluto makes people extremely driven about getting what they want and achieving certain goals, positions, breakthroughs, or milestones.  The Moon in Taurus brings a touch of luxury and indulgence to the New Years celebrations. 

SUN JAN 1 2023

With the Sun in Capricorn and the Moon (exalted) in Taurus both in aspect to Uranus, it can certainly feel like a new year. It doesn't really kick off until March, which brings with it some palpable shifts. Right now, there is a focus on creative breakthroughs or milestone moments. The Moon forms trine’s to both the Sun and Mercury, which can see a certain level of satisfaction around progress that has been made. The Moon conjunct Uranus goes on to square Saturn while trine Mercury, which can highlight creative problem solving and planning ahead. Today’s configurations hint at taking in all the progress that has been made in 2022, with an eye towards making even greater strides in 2023. With Mercury retrograde escorting us into the new year, the way in which we have leveled up, or certain milestones that have been reached can give us a new vantage point and a new perspective on how to proceed, and how best to maximize the potentials available from these new vistas. May your year ahead be filled with blessings, happiness, love, and abundance.

ASTROLOGY FOR THE WEEK OF DEC 19-25 2022

MON DEC 19

Today see’s the Moon in Scorpio opposite Uranus and sextile Venus, while Venus is in trine to Uranus. This, combined with the fact that Jupiter reenters Aries tomorrow suggests that bold initiatives and calculated risks are bubbling and gestating under the surface. There’s a certain wisdom and clout from experience here, with Jupiter in forward motion in the anaretic degree of Pisces in tension with the Sun. Jupiter wants to go all in on impossible dreams. The planetary pile up in Capricorn helps make realistic assessments and wise investments and money moves, but there’s a tinge of rebellion, experimentation and shaking things up here as stagnant ruts and dead ends are risen above and broken away from. This is not without a directed sense of purpose. There can be some nervous tension and underlying instinctual frustration today (Moon quincunx Mars Rx), that can give rise to strange impulses or a strong desire to do things differently or unlock new levels in life. The ambitious energy only grows stronger this week as the Sun enters Capricorn on Wednesday and a New Moon follows suit on Friday, seeing major impulses to upgrade, renovate, level up, and increase a sense of personal agency. Mercury conjunct Venus can highlight upwardly mobile social networking, and meetings, negotiations, pitches, and discussions with VIP power people, or surrounding overall goals and ambitions. 

TUES DEC 20

Jupiter enters Aries once again for it’s final trek through the Ram bright and early at 6:32 AM PST this morning. The Moon in Scorpio is trine Pallas and Juno while trine Neptune and square Saturn. This suggests a strategy, negotiation, meeting, or power point presentation in the works, while working up (or maintaining) the courage and confidence to rise to a challenge. The Moon square Saturn can be a bit cumbersome or imposing early on, and it can feel like there are high expectations to live up to or a lot of responsibilities. Just do what you can, not the most. The Moon heads into buoyant Sagittarius at 11:21 PM PST, seeing more optimism, courage and motivation available. 

WED DEC 21

Today marks the Winter Solstice, with the Sun making it’s ingress into Capricorn at 1:48 PM PST. The Moon in Sagittarius is trine Jupiter, Chiron and opposite Mars, and this can see a desire to make some bold moves. Keep in mind that Mars is still retrograde. This doesn’t mean that no progress can be made, but playing a long game, keeping expectations realistic, and having patience with results is key. Venus trine Uranus loves surprises, and this can see certain norms, patterns, traditions, structures, or relationships being shaken up, reevaluated, rearranged, reinvented, or looked at in a new way. With the Sun and Hygeia exactly conjunct at the zenith point of Capricorn, there’s an emphasis on health and healing. The stellium in Capricorn is extremely grounded, physical, somatic, and anchored. In Sagittarius, the Sun identified new territories, and in Capricorn, the Sun endeavors to secure a new position and set roots. The Sun’s ingress can highlight taking on more responsibilities. The Moon opposite Mars and semisquare Pluto can see a lot of energy, drive and instinctual intensity under the surface, which emphasizes a strong desire to rise above and beyond ones current position, while the Moon trine Chiron see’s courage to rise to challenges.

THURS DEC 22

The Moon in Sagittarius is sextile Saturn and square Neptune today. The Sun square Jupiter is optimistic and goal oriented. This solar shift is discernible and still metabolizing. Although there may be some doubts, early on, the lunar sextile to Saturn today can see good opportunities to network or demonstrate reliability or competency to higher up’s or VIP’s, or to stabilize things that have felt wishy-washy or ill defined. As the day wears on, and the Moon heads into the later degrees of Sagittarius, ambitions can grow with a lunar square building to Jupiter. Keeping expectations realistic will help produce the most solid gains from these configurations. The Moon enters Capricorn at 11:49 PM PST, seeing the New Moon in the wee hours of tomorrow. Things can be revealed tomorrow onward that can help inform decisions.

FRI DEC 23

The New Moon is exact at 2:17 AM PST, conjunct the Sun and Hygeia in 1 degree Capricorn. This face of Capricorn is the Prima Materia, the soil and foundations from which all possibilities spring. Heavily rooted in the body, it’s associated with Asklepios, the Greek god of healing, so the conjunction to Hygeia is doubly significant, individually and collectively. The tarot card associated with this face of the goat is the 2 of pentacles, a card of harmonious change and transition. Deeply understanding and mastering the terrain of where you are at and what binds you to it is pivotal to understanding what possibilities are available beyond it. This New Moon is also square Jupiter and sesquisquare Uranus, indicating that there’s a need for discipline here that may take some adjusting to. Wherever you are hosting this new moon, there's a need to keep things on track so they don't run off the rails. Mercury sextile Neptune and conjunct Pluto is deeply curious and probing of all that’s mysterious, and wants to penetrate any veils or cloaks to unearth what is hidden to make a thorough assessment of the facts. The area of your chart ruled by Capricorn will be subject to shifts, upgrades, rebellions, and reconfigurations, as Mercury will begin it’s backward journey here next week. The end of December can see some intense dynamics to navigate for many. This evening can see some pleasant surprises or shocks, socially, interpersonally, creatively or financially, with the Moon conjunct Venus and trine Uranus. A square to Chiron can see some sensitivity, compassion, or a feeling of being caught off guard, but some deep talks or even private confidences can occur tomorrow.

SAT DEC 24

The Moon in Capricorn is conjunct Mercury and Venus while sextile Neptune and conjunct Pluto. This can see some substantive discussions, pleasant gatherings, and powerful alliances. These configurations can highlight giving or receiving good advice, sound council, generous and valuable gifts or exchanges, and a wise and empathetic ear. It's a right place, right time, right people configuration. There can be some penetrating insights, breakthroughs, or revealing discoveries or disclosures with the Moon in contact to Mercury and Venus, and Venus in trine to illuminating Uranus. The day is focused on pleasure, gatherings, communications, meetings, and traditions with a non traditional spin. Interactions highlighted today are established, or carry a history that has clout, mutual respect and substance to it. Exchanges are poignant, meaningful, and carry weight. People connect beyond a superficial manner, and something can hold more substance and meaning than it seems. Important information (or assets) are uncovered and exchanged as people penetrate beyond niceties and catch up on each others stories. The Moon goes on to sextile generous Jupiter in the evening as it reaches the later degrees of Capricorn, kicking off the spirit of giving. 

SUN DEC 25

The Moon enters altruistic and future oriented Aquarius at 2:14 AM PST, trine Mars Rx in Gemini and square Uranus in Taurus while sextile Chiron in Aries. This can see surprises and a whole lot of activity and rushing around going on. Mercury conjunct Venus is pleasant and charming in demeanor, even if somewhat reserved, but with both conjunct Pluto there can be some power dynamics or buried intensity under the surface to navigate, or in the very least, a very powerful drive to succeed and transform situations for the better. Something is different. Something is changing at a deep level. Today can see surprise visits or spontaneous communications at the last minute. A lot of mingling. The evening see’s the Moon conjunct Saturn, which can see a stabilizing influence, with certain commitments made or a dedication to certain goals, structures, alliances, or responsibilities going forward. 

ASTROLOGY FOR THE WEEK OF DEC 12-18 2022

MON DEC 12

We begin the week with the Moon in Leo, square Uranus, sextile Mars, opposite Saturn and trine Chiron. This can see some curve balls and challenges. The Sun is square Neptune and sextile Saturn all week, which emphasizes opportunities to rise to challenges amidst a lot of looniness or draining influences. Keeping the morale high and the kick drum of your life going even amidst discouragement, distractions, or energy feeling sapped is highlighted here. The Moon in Leo sextile Mars and trine Chiron has courage and self belief in the face of challenges or blockages, but the lunar opposition to Saturn can see a heaviness or delay momentum. There may be some mildly discouraging or confusing energies to contend with, and although it doesn’t halt productivity entirely, it does challenge people to adapt. 

TUES DEC 13

The Moon in Leo is void of course this morning at 7:52 AM, seeing the day get off to a reflective start, then a trine to the Sun, opposition to Saturn,  sesquisquare to Mercury, and quincunx to Neptune and Pluto are the main aspects of todays show. There’s a resilience of spirit here, and Saturn slowing things down only seems to concentrate and pinpoint energy even more effectively. As we get into the later evening, and the Moon inches closer to Virgo, building a trine to Venus, opportunities to network, smooth things over, and make them run more efficiently are highlighted. The Virgo lunation (Moon enters Virgo at 12:45 AM PST on Wed Dec 14) can see productive or helpful conversations, introductions, alliances, or good news. This can be professional in nature for some, but it can equally be social or interpersonal. 

WED DEC 14

The Moon enters Virgo at 12:45 AM PST, seeing a lovely trine to both Venus and Mercury, and as the day wears on, a square to Mars in Gemini. This can see a lot of energy and motivation, and even if there’s nervous energy or irritability, there’s a lot of harmonizing energy available that smoothes things over. The Sun/Neptune square is a bit hazy, loopy, and imaginative, but the stabilizing earth trines can help keep a sense of realism. There can be a strong drive to understand the reality of certain situations. There can be a focus on harmonious cooperation, quality control, eliminating unnecessary elements, and creating more efficiency, to set a higher bar of quality and integrity going forward. Of course, Mercury will backtrack in Capricorn, seeing a lot of reevaluations and making sure all the kinks are worked out. The Moon goes on to trine Uranus later on, seeing some surprises and an innovative and progressive atmosphere. Today’s maths highlight productive conversations and helpful alliances. 

THURS DEC 15

The Moon in Virgo is square Mars Rx, trine Mercury and Uranus and opposite Neptune early on, which can see a desire to eliminate fuckery and confusion, or to innovate around whatever is dissolving. There may be a need to confront simmering tensions or buried grievances, or there can be some interesting personal discoveries. There may be some nervousness around unknowns that makes it important to stay in touch with reality. The Moon goes on to oppose Jupiter and trine Pluto as well, which can open the floodgates or see some surprising reveals, insights, or shifts in perspective that can be grounding or helpful. The Moon opposite Neptune and trine Pluto can see a strong draw to unusual people, interests or situations, while a sextile to Pallas suggests a strategic approach. An element of mystery of intrigue can be highlighted, and the Moon squaring the Sun can see an inner conflict around how to act or assert oneself in certain situations, or confusion around whether or not we’re assessing things correctly or are on the right path. Reaching out for guidance or getting someone else’s perspective can be helpful.

FRI DEC 16

The first portion of today see’s the waning quarter Moon in Virgo, then the Moon enters cooperative Libra at 11:49 AM PST. The idea of partnerships can be percolating, but with the Moon still opposing Jupiter, trine Pluto, and sesquisquare Uranus, there can be high expectations (perhaps unrealistic), and doubts around others intentions that can reinforce an independent mindset. The lunar trine (out of sign) to Pluto early on is all or nothing, while the opposition to Jupiter has an idyllic fantasy that seems too good to be true. Mercury in Capricorn trine Uranus in Taurus is utterly realistic and focused on illuminating facts and figures, rapidly adjusting to who and what can withstand the shit tests. Tomorrow see’s more dynamic initiative socially or interpersonally, but it looks important to know where to draw a line in order to not be derailed or taken off track. 

SAT DEC 17

The Moon in Libra is square Mercury and Venus, while trine Mars Rx and Saturn, and opposite Chiron. Social or interpersonal tensions (either positive, negative or neutral) can catalyze or inspire action today or even spur us on towards our goals or ambitions. The lunar trine to Mars is assertive, but the squares to both Mercury and Venus can see some indecision or a need to find a compromise between conflicting needs. The lunar opposition to Chiron can see some sensitivity or vulnerability, or a feeling of being misunderstood, but it also has the capacity to exhibit it’s energy by bringing out the ability to understand or help others. An awkward lunar quincunx to the North Node highlights lessons that have been learned the hard way, either because of the potential of this repeating itself, or due to a memory evoked that steers us clear of repeating mistakes. In either case, the Moon trine Mars is confident, talkative and sociable early on, but the lunar trine to Saturn gains the upper hand as the day wears on, and confidently draws lines and boundaries to focus energy more succinctly or keep things from getting out of hand. 

SUN DEC 18

The Moon in Libra is sextile the Sun in Sagittarius while trine Saturn and square Pluto. This can see tunnel vision on a goal, and it can feel good to cultivate a sense of consistency or congruency. A lunar square to Pallas suggests that there’s a bit of a long game to whatever this is. A lunar sesquisquare to Mars and quincunx to Jupiter can make it easy to over do things, and there can be an almost obsessive zeal around something. The lunar square to Pluto can see some underlying intensity around relationships, socially, interpersonally, or otherwise. Keeping a sense of proportion intact along with healthy boundaries can be helpful. The Moon enters intense Scorpio at 7:31 PM PST, which can see next week get off to an interesting and surprising start. Monday can see people acting out of character or there can even be some pleasant surprises.

ASTROLOGY FOR THE WEEK OF DEC 5-11 2022

MON DEC 5

Today see’s the Moon in Taurus conjunct Uranus and square Saturn, emphasizing the Saturn/Uranus square. There’s still a lot of work to be done around changes being made and realities being faced, and Mercury in square to Jupiter today can see a lack of clarity, where intuition can easily be confused with high hopes or visions of worst case scenarios. In some cases, there can be some jangling news, reality checks, or just a bit of a murky swamp to navigate that makes it necessary to get priorities into order. Mercury just crossed over the Galactic center and will enter Capricorn tomorrow, which brings a more realistic and sensible perspective as certain facts of life are faced. The Moon goes on to sextile Neptune and trine Pluto, which can see a lot of compassion and empathy amidst unavoidable or inevitable processes. There can be a desire to take time to absorb things, and bring more focus and reflection on to a dream or ideal in order to sort out what’s possible from what’s not. This can  start to become more clear after the Full Moon. 

TUES DEC 6

We begin today with the Moon in the critical degrees of Taurus, where it enters Gemini at 12:49 PM PST. A lunar sextile to Jupiter can see optimism, generosity and positive intentions, while a quincunx to Mercury can see some indecision and a desire to get more focused and get to the bottom of something. Mercury enters Capricorn at 2:08 PM PST. This Mercury cycle can see the mind fixed on a goal, wanting to get down to the nitty gritty of things, eliminating waste, distraction, delusion, and anything unnecessary. It will station retrograde on the 29th of December, seeing an opportunity to reevaluate, innovate, and make solid decisions and agreements going forward that are based on a more realistic premise. Both Mercury and Venus are square Jupiter right now, and Mercury’s entrance into Capricorn helps to pair down unrealistic expectations into something more manageable and sustainable. There can be a mild sense of deflation, but this is only the case if expectations have been unrealistic or delusional to begin with. Tomorrow evening see’s the Full Moon in Gemini, which also aims to eliminate any premises that are based on delusion, fantasy, or a lack of realism.

WED DEC 7

Today see’s the Moon in curious Gemini conjunct Mars, trine Saturn, and eventually going on to square Neptune. This can see a desire to get certain talks on the table or get things stabilized. The Full Moon is exact at 8:08 PM PST this evening, exactly conjunct Mars Rx at 16 degrees. Unless you're on the east coast or southeast, you'll be able to see the lunar occultation of Mars, where Mars disappears behind the Moon. In some cases, this can see emotions blind people to the facts, even if they're painfully obvious. This decan of Gemini is filled with both inner and outer contradictions, with the aim being to reconcile the two. Associated with the 9 of swords in the tarot, a card of high anxiety, worry and sleeplessness, and a myth of a hermaphrodite, separated by the Gods, only to become lovers later, this decan evokes the struggle to reconcile contradictory and opposing realities. The popular romantic notion known in modern times as “the twin flame journey” is epitomized here. The pains of separation, the longing towards wholeness, paired with the potentialities of unification, creates a state that challenges those who experience it to make peace within themselves with this internal cycle of love and war, life and death, masculine and feminine, between the dualities of existence. Between a coming together, and a going apart, is a purgatory twilight that demands to be reconciled with. This can revolve around certain decisions. There may be a need to get more information before either throwing in the towel, or committing to a particular course of action. The Sun and Mars are directly opposed at 16 degrees today, so there can be a need for some inner alchemy, patience, and to avoid haste in the presence of impulse or urgency. Mercury in Capricorn is deliberate, careful, and calculated, while the Sun opposite Mars wants to bring up the FAFO chart “fuck around and find out.”

THURS DEC 8

The Moon opposes Venus as Venus passes over the galactic center this morning. There can be a need to stay grounded, focused, and to control impulses early on, but as the day wears on, there can be a desire to explore certain talks, negotiations, or discussions to see if it’s possible to stabilize certain agreements. Venus and Hygeia are very close, so consciously or unconsciously, elements of health and healing are involved. With Mercury and Venus conjunct and squaring Jupiter, communications can be cooperative, generous, and charming. Avoid making promises that you can’t keep. There can be a need to seek compromise between your own needs and those of other people. The Sun opposite Mars persists through obstacles and tries to keep faith and optimism intact amidst any struggles, but it’s equally important to release what you don’t have control over. The Moon enters comfort oriented Cancer at 11:49 PM PST, seeing a more security conscious mathscape kick off the weekend.

FRI DEC 9

The Moon in Cancer opposes Mercury this morning, which can see some doubts or indecision early on. There’s also a square to Chiron, seeing a sensitive and compassionate atmosphere, with a focus on well being through daily ritual with a lunar trine to Vesta. Venus enters Capricorn at 7:54 PM PST, squaring Jupiter and sesquisquare Uranus. The bar is raised high, and there’s a disinclination to lower it or compromise security for anything below standard. With Mercury and Venus now both in Capricorn, the focus is on quality and not quantity, as well as on longterm plans, things and people with longterm potential, substance, and staying power. Mercury and Venus in Sagittarius saw exploration and expansion, now there is a narrowing of focus and a desire to get serious and hunkered down about certain goals. 

SAT DEC 10

The Moon in Cancer is conjunct Pallas, sextile Uranus and Trine Neptune, seeing the morning get off to an inspired and imaginative start. There can be strokes of insight or inspiration as the day begins, with a strategy in mind around certain dreams or things close to the heart. Then the Moon forms a trine to Jupiter and Juno while opposite Pluto. This can see some intense feelings come up around relationships, with hopes and dreams deeply activated. It’s possible certain repressed feelings come to the surface. Mercury semisquare Saturn can feel a bit shy, awkward, or inhibited, but the Moon trine Jupiter and Neptune and opposite Pluto is just gushing with feeling, instinct, and emotion. Channeling intensity into something constructive can be cathartic. 

SUN DEC 11

The Moon in the late degrees of Cancer trine Jupiter this morning see’s a rich emotional landscape. There can be something to feel hopeful about, and desires can be strong. The Moon enters playful Leo at 12:09 PM PST, still trine Jupiter, and then forming a trine to Chiron. There can be a morale boost, or something to smile about. In the very least, there can be an inner courage and self belief that can be helpful for making creative changes, taking calculated risks, overcoming blockages, and innovating a way forward. 

ASTROLOGY FOR THE WEEK OF NOV 28-DEC 4 2022

MON NOV 28

The week begins with good intentions, but a Mercury/Mars opposition that perfects on Tuesday suggests that there may be a bit of tension to navigate this week around entering new territory and breaking free of any undermining and swampy influences. Today see’s the Moon in Aquarius sextile Mercury and Venus while trine Mars, conjunct Saturn and square Uranus. This can see a concerted effort to break new ground, make new contacts, reach new agreements, or get certain talks or negotiations on the table. There may be some extra responsibilities to deal with, but there might also be some pleasant surprises that factor into the day. Mercury trine Chiron, sextile Saturn and square Neptune (which stations direct at the end of the week) suggests this week there is a push towards more clarity and confidence, with an emphasis on finding solutions. 

TUES NOV 29

The Moon in late Aquarius is conjunct Saturn, while the Mercury/Mars opposition perfects at 19 degrees. This configuration can be a bit frayed around the edges. However, Mercury sextile Saturn and conjunct Venus can see a good sense of timing and lends some diplomacy to any talks or negotiations that require it. The square Mercury makes to Neptune mirrors that of Mars, both of which illustrate a desire to overcome confusion, weakness, and get into a stronger position, with an eye on long term stability, with positive aspects to Saturn. There may be some reality checks to navigate, and at times, it may be harder to focus amidst loose ends or things that still haven’t been completed. Simplify things where you can. The Moon enters Pisces at 4:15 PM PST, squaring the Sun in Sagittarius. This can see a focus on a myriad of possibilities.

WED NOV 30

The Moon in Pisces squares the Sun, Venus and Mercury in Sagittarius, while also squaring Mars Rx in Gemini, while sextile Uranus. This can see new territory opening up via talks, negotiations, and plans. With Mercury, Venus and Mars all in harmonious aspect to Saturn, there is an eye here on the longterm, and this can highlight partnerships or a team effort of sorts, and trying to work out who and/or what is workable. With the Moon in Pisces sextile Uranus, there’s a certain surrender to change, and a semisquare to Pluto can see some sensitivity to power dynamics early on. There can be some uncertainty but also excitement around potential new partnerships or agreements, but much has been learned through past mistakes or fumbles, so there’s a benefit to having the wisdom of time and experience. The evening see’s a lot to reflect on as new possibilities are opening up, and what is unworkable can be replaced with something more situationally appropriate. 

THURS DEC 1

The Moon in Pisces is conjunct Neptune and Jupiter, while sextile Pluto and square Mercury, Venus and Mars this morning. Venus opposite Mars is a growth oriented aspect that can see opportunities to blend, fuse and integrate complimentary but opposite energies to form a more stable foundation. There can be optimism around changes being made, and around the new possibilities and opportunities this opens up, but changes require effort. There is a lot of compassion and idealism in today’s mathscape, and Mercury, Venus and Mars linking up to Saturn keeps people’s feet on the ground, which is important amidst all of the woo and romantic idealism. There’s a lot of generosity here, and intuition can be high. A lunar trine to Pallas suggests forming a strategy for going forward. The Moon enters dynamic Aries at 8:41 PM PST, seeing a shift from reflecting on what’s possible, to a more action oriented and explorative frame.

FRI DEC 2

The Moon in Aries is conjunct Chiron and trine the Sun in Sagittarius. There can be optimism around efforts surrounding healing and renewal, as well as talks or negotiations opening up. There can be a desire here to explore new avenues and see what’s possible, testing the bounds of certain situations or dynamics. Neptune stations direct tomorrow, while the Mars trine to Saturn is gaining the upper hand in strength over the Mars/Neptune square, suggesting things are getting a bit closer to clarity. The Full Moon in Gemini next Wednesday will represent a sort of climactic point around processes unfolding now, where the beginning stages of a new way forward can begin to be explored. There will be starts and stops, reevaluations, adjustments, renegotiations, and a bit of trial and error, as we kick off 2023 with a Mercury retrograde in the sign of Capricorn, but the fruits of these processes, negotiations, and agreements can begin to show themselves as early as March and certainly by the New Moon in Gemini next June. 

SAT DEC 3

Today see’s a beautiful signature, with the Moon in Aries conjunct Chiron while trine Mercury, Venus  and Hygeia, and sextile Mars and Saturn. A lunar square to Pluto and Pallas is determined to transform things for the better, and this can see some intensity under the surface of things. The Sagittarius stellium see’s a strong desire for growth, healing, expansion, and exploration, and to rise above previous limitations or negative influences. Beneficial partnerships or agreements can be highlighted. The lunar trine to Mercury and Venus can see good news or friendly communications. Neptune stations direct at 4:15 PM PST. The Moon squaring Pluto grows stronger by evening and this can see a lot of passion, intensity, strong feelings and momentum behind things. 

SUN DEC 4

The Moon enters slow and sensual Taurus at 3:38 AM PST, to conjoin Uranus and sesquisquare Venus. With Mars no longer square Neptune, and Neptune resuming forward motion while Mars holds down a stable trine to Saturn, there’s an emphasis here on finding our footing amidst an explorative voyage. Venus conjunct Mercury while squaring Jupiter and Neptune can see a dreaminess and pleasure seeking escapism tinged with magical thinking, while the Moon in Taurus encourages us to keep our feet on tera firma, stop and smell the flowers, in order to get some perspective on progress made thus far, as well as preparing for what lies ahead. Monday kicks off on a practical note that can see new responsibilities taken on or a need to be resilient and stay on top of progress so that it continues. This math encourages staying determined and consistent, while also being flexible and adaptable to changes. 

ASTROLOGY FOR THE WEEK OF NOV 21-27 2022

MON NOV 21

The early morning hours see’s the Moon in the critical degree of Libra quincunx Jupiter and square Pluto, suggesting a bit of a cram session. The Moon enters Scorpio at 9:16 AM PST, seeing a major push to clear the decks. The Sun at the anaretic degree of Scorpio trine Jupiter Rx in Pisces indicates a transformation with a target in sight. The area of your chart ruled by Pisces see’s a clearing out, release, and restoration of faith, while the area ruled by Aries prepares for a new, more positive era. Mercury conjunct Venus can see honest conversations, encouraging news, genuine excitement, and enthusiastic plans being put into motion. Mars trine Saturn this week creates stability amidst the dissolution and confusion created by the Mars/ Neptune square. The Moon in Scorpio opposes Uranus this evening, seeing sweeping changes around the corner as certain chapters are dissolved.

TUES NOV 22

The Sun makes it’s annual ingress into adventurous Sagittarius at 12:20 AM PST, shifting the focus on to new horizons. The Moon in Scorpio is trine Neptune and Juno, square Saturn while opposite Uranus. This places a focus on dreams and ideals, and while certain things have been in a process of dissolution, the Moon square Saturn and opposite Uranus exhibits resilience and determination to push through to facilitate certain breakthroughs. There’s an element of experimentation and calculated risk taking here, along with psychic sensitivity, and although there is a pairing back, important dreams and ideals have been preserved and are quietly gestating. There can be support in the background, as well as secret longings. As the day wears on into evening, a lunar quincunx to Mars can see some nervous tension, and possible irritability. There can be a need here to slow down and pace yourself, and try not to overwhelm yourself by taking on too much all at once. 

WED NOV 23

The Moon in Scorpio makes beautiful trines to both Jupiter and Neptune, while building a cooperative sextile to transformative Pluto. This can see a lot of generosity, faith and good will in the air, and it can be easier to feel a sense of gratitude and hopefulness. There can be things going on that can really boost morale and stimulate hopes, dreams and ideals. The Moon enters optimistic Sagittarius at 12:16 PM PST, while the New Moon perfects at 2:57 PM PST at 1 degree Sagittarius, weakly conjunct both Mercury and Venus, (which strengthens as the day progresses) while making an out of sign trine to Jupiter, which stations direct at 3:02 PM PST. This can see faith and optimism renewed, and there can be a subtle feeling of divine providence and even forgiveness, or a sort of "cosmic religious feeling" in the air.  This decan of Sagittarius is one of speed, and is associated with the 8 of wands in the tarot. A card of passionate communications, or "arrows of love", enthusiasm, passion and excitement. A vision emerges here, there is a target identified, and the spirit is compelled to remove all obstacles and align the will with this quest. This can indicate physical movement or travel, but the movement indicated can just as easily be mental or spiritual. This can see tidings of good will, and opportunities to gather or celebrate can present themselves. A meaningful quest is indicated by the New Moon in this face of Sagittarius. There is an infectious enthusiasm here, and as Jupiter stations direct in Pisces, hope and faith can feel restored. Due to the speed at which this decan operates, discernment is also important, as along with ardor and enthusiasm, this decan is also conversely associated with plague and vice, -meaning that if one hasn’t mastered the task of commanding one’s own will, body, mind, and spirit-something or someone else will command it for you. Aside from this one warning, this New Moon is extremely positive. 

THURS NOV 24

The Moon in Sagittarius is conjunct Mercury and Venus, seeing pleasant communications, and good news or opportunities can be presented that can boost morale and widen horizons. There is gratitude, open mindedness, forgiveness and abundance in the atmosphere. Jupiter, ruler of Sagittarius, and the original ruler of Pisces prior to Neptune’s discovery, now being direct at 28 degrees Pisces, can be seen as an auspicious omen. Something has been learned through experience here, but it still remains important to avoid being mislead on the quest for a dream or ideal. Focus and discernment remain important. The Moon goes on to oppose Mars in Gemini, while quincunx Uranus and sextile Saturn, which may see some clashes of will or agendas and a need to find compromise, make adjustments, corrections, apologies, amends, or accommodate last minute changes of plan, (or simply stay focused in spite of spontaneous happenings or perhaps last minute invitations or deviations.) It’s possible to strike a balance where everyone is happy, as Venus conjunct Mercury is very conciliatory and harmonizing. There is a lot of good will and understanding in the atmosphere. The Moon squares Neptune later while sextile Saturn, seeing a need to disperse confusion and create clarity. 

FRI NOV 25

The early morning see’s the Moon in the later degrees of Sagittarius squaring Jupiter and Neptune and then going void of course at 11:22 AM PST. It’s a bit of a lackadaisical, easy going hangover vibe as the excesses of yesterday are still metabolizing, so the day get’s off to a loopy, relaxed, but spiritually buoyant start. The Moon heads into sober Capricorn at 1:18 PM PST, which can see some positive innovation. The goat lunation aims to bring things back down to earth and under command, to sort what dreams are feasible and realizable from what is excessive, delusional or simply unsustainable. For many, people are simply sweeping up after celebrations or holiday gatherings. There is still a feeling of having much to look forward to, but the Capricorn lunation prompts people to put their money where their mouth is, grounding things back to reality, and gearing up for some necessary, but perhaps exciting changes. 

SAT NOV 26

The Moon in Capricorn is trine Uranus and the North Node while squaring Chiron today, which may see some feeling a bit caught off guard by unexpected, but fated opportunities, or simply feeling a bit vulnerable in the face of necessary shifts. It’s nonetheless exciting in many ways, as a new chapter is unfolding that will put certain endeavors or dreams on to a much stronger foundation. The Moon goes on to conjoin Pluto and sextile Neptune, indicating a certain inevitability, and in many ways, certain dreams are on their way to being actualized. Today can see some adjustments being made, and there may be a need for some perseverance, but these maths indicate a push towards some big transformations. There can be some low key intensity and excitement crackling away under the surface, as the changes being made, and that have been made the past few weeks are indicative of significant upgrades and an overall improvement of circumstances.

SUN NOV 27

There can be a grounded optimism in the air this morning as the Moon in late Capricorn is conjunct Pluto and sextile Jupiter in Pisces. There can be a feeling of accomplishment and even achievement, as well as a hopefulness about the future. The Moon goes void of course at 12:11 PM PST, seeing a reflective and thoughtful digestion of the events of the week and even the previous months. It can be nice to take a moment to see how much ground you’ve covered and how far you’ve come. The Moon enters future oriented Aquarius at 2:07 PM PST, sextile the Sun in Sagittarius, seeing an eye on the horizon and the possibilities in the weeks and months ahead. This can see the remainder of Sunday focused on preparation and getting into alignment with our vision. With Mercury and Venus conjunct one another and opposite Mars, this can see certain negotiation processes underway, and figuring out who and what will work with you and how, and assessing what is and what is not possible, and preparing and planning accordingly. The Sun, Mercury, and Venus all trine Chiron accentuates healing discussions and boosts to morale and optimism. It can be easier to look on the bright side of things, count your blessings, and remain solution oriented. Next week begins on a driven, enthusiastic, determined, and forward focused note.

ASTROLOGY FOR THE WEEK OF NOV 14-20 2022

MON NOV 14

In the wee AM hours, the Moon is in the anaretic degree of Cancer conjunct Lilith and opposite Pluto. This highlights a liberation process and a transformation at a structural level that will increase long term security. The Moon enters Leo at 4:48 AM PST. Venus will enter Sagittarius tomorrow evening, followed by Mercury on Thursday. This can see the intensity of certain changes slowly but surely put behind us, and although certain processes are still very much underway, the impact of certain decisions can have a freeing effect and there can be more optimism. Mars at an awkward angle to Neptune all week can see a mire to sort out in order for things to become more consolidated. This can create confusion around options or even interactions, so it’s important to get the facts, and not just operate purely on hearsay, assumption, illusion, or misinformation. The Moon in Leo makes a trine to Chiron, hilighting a restoration of faith and a morale boost, as Venus enters the final degree of Scorpio tomorrow, signifying a final push towards release from intensive circumstances that have required deep transformations and overhauls financially, materially, socially, interpersonally, and at the level of somatic reality. Things can be looking up and there is more possibility. More change is on the way. Tomorrow can be a bit of a crunch point.

TUES NOV 15

The Moon in Leo is square Uranus and opposite Saturn while trine Chiron and Hygeia. This see’s an emphasis on facilitating healing. This morning the Moon makes a sesquisquare to Jupiter, which can see a lot going on all at once and a need to act quickly. There can be a lot overlapping right now and today can be a bit of an obstacle course. The lunar opposition to Saturn highlights responsibilities and duty, while the lunar square to Uranus can feel a bit chaotic but also represents some breakthrough points. The Mars/Neptune angle can see some delays, confusion, or misunderstandings this week, making clarity (and clear communication) imperative. Things can feel a bit pressed today, but it’s ultimately all for a good cause. There may be a need to cut back on certain commitments or reschedule in order to handle certain unavoidable tasks and get them out of the way, or there may be a need to accommodate spontaneous things that come up. These configurations see a need for adaptability, as various clashes of desires or schedules are negotiated. Venus in anaretic degree of Scorpio in trine to Jupiter suggests a positive, regenerative expansion and revision, but today can see a bit of a push over a hill. Venus enters Sagittarius at 10:09 PM PST this evening, and there can be a feeling of optimism around new strategies being set in place. A target has been reached, and now a new one is over the horizon.

WED NOV 16

The Moon in Leo sextile’s Mars this morning, seeing more self assurance as certain things have been successfully checked off a to do list. Eclipse season may have brought with it some reality checks, and although harsh at times, it phased out what wasn't working so that it could be replaced with something much more fruitful and suitable. The day get’s off to a motivated start. The Moon squares the Sun, Mercury and Venus, seeing some indecision, or a sense that we’re still navigating a sort of “in between” stage, with some loose ends dangling. Lunar quincunxes to Jupiter and Pluto can see an excessive preoccupation with something, or a tendency to overdo things. There can be an eagerness to get something over with in order to be free of it, but try not to rush things, as it could increase the potential to make mistakes or overlook important details. The Moon enters Virgo at 5:04 PM PST (speaking of details), where it tightens squares to Mercury and Venus. This can see some beneficial deals or agreements struck. As long as a sense of realism is maintained, certain hopes and goals are realizable. These configurations can also facilitate some frank and open discussions.

THURS NOV 17

Mercury enters Sagittarius at 12:42 AM PST, where it joins Venus. This see’s an expansive cycle focused on exploration, curiosity, and entering new terrain. There can be a feeling of shaking free of things that have been an impediment to growth and expansion. As Saturn has since released it’s awkward angle to Uranus, it strengthens a helpful trine to Mars, suggesting a simplification process that’s been underway is gaining more traction and stability. This can lighten things up considerably. Mars is still squaring Neptune, so there are still certain things dissolving so that new structures can be implemented and set into place. Because of this, things are still a bit loopy, but getting easier as time goes on. The Moon is trine Uranus today, and this influence grows stronger as the day progresses. This can see more room to innovate and generate new ideas. The Moon in Virgo is keen to organize new systems and settle in to a new way of doing things. The Moon goes on to oppose Neptune, emphasizing the Mars/Neptune square. Tomorrow can see a productive push to get certain things sorted, tie up loose ends, and to shake off the last bits of deadweight before a more streamlined approach can be adopted and settled into that also opens up horizons. 

FRI NOV 18

The Moon in Virgo opposes Neptune and squares Mars, emphasizing the Mars/Neptune square. Mars Rx has been in a process of reevaluation and streamlining, and this has seen a phasing out and recalibration process. The Moon is also trine Uranus and Pluto, while opposite Jupiter this morning, seeing a push towards change and regenerative efforts. The Moon sextile the Sun in Scorpio see’s an opportunity to sort things out favorably and eliminate any further impediments to progress. Today would be an excellent day to wrap certain things up that have been dangling, as the Moon square Mars can generate a lot of energy that can easily become irritation if not put to functional use. Ideals can be high, and there can be a feeling of increased possibilities over the horizon, (once certain loose ends are tied up of course). The lunar trine to Pluto is able to rise to challenges and is eager to wrap something up and throw itself more wholeheartedly into new strategies and endeavors. Things can become more balanced and harmonious soon.

SAT NOV 19

The Moon enters cooperative Libra at 2:58 AM PST, making a sextile to Mercury and Venus, which can see opportunities to express thoughts and feelings, and create harmony, balance and cooperation. This can see pleasant opportunities to socialize, and this can be promising interpersonally, financially, or commercially. As the day wears on into evening, there can be psychic sensitivity or vulnerability with the Moon opposite Chiron and quincunx Juno. There’s a need here to strike a balance between looking after our own needs and those of others. Know where your limits are. The Sun in Scorpio trine Jupiter in Pisces can see a lot of good will circulating, but is also activating some deeper needs and feelings, and bringing them to the surface. This also highlights energetic exchanges with others, and something particularly close to the heart. There can be a deep desire to get on the same page with certain others, or to actualize certain dreams, and to overcome blockages or inhibitions around doing so.

SUN NOV 20

The Moon in Libra makes an assertive and motivating trine to Mars Rx in Gemini and Saturn in Aquarius. This can see a desire to stabilize weak foundations and consolidate. This can regard social or interpersonal exchanges, or collaborative efforts and teamwork. It can feel good to stabilize and bring more balance to things. This can see more courage to take initiative socially or interpersonally, and there can also be some excitement around things being more streamlined. Sweeping changes or drastic simplification processes can free up energy, times, and resources for other things. Constructive cooperations can be reached, and the impact of this can all really be felt next week at the New Moon in Sagittarius, where the ruler of Sagittarius, Jupiter, stations direct, signifying a successful recalibration. Communication may still need to be strengthened (Mars Rx in Gemini), but plans for exploration or expansion can begin to feel possible once again. 

ASTROLOGY FOR THE WEEK OF NOV 7-13 2022

MON NOV 7

The energy of the full moon eclipse builds with the Moon in Taurus, (exalted). This eclipse on Tuesday is a particularly climactic and poignant one. Events can feel stacked, one on top of the other. The energy is extremely condensed. There’s a detangling of a mess and a motion towards fruitful stability is signified here. The pressure is on, and this math can feel downright disorienting. All of this coincides with the Saturn/Uranus square, while the Sun, Venus and Mercury conjunction demands nothing short of a deep recalibration and refocusing of energies. Mars Rx in Gemini squaring Neptune is particularly potent this week, and this can diminish energy somewhat and contribute to a feeling of being overwhelmed or at sea amidst a lot of high pressure changes. It’s important to simplify things for yourself as much as you can, and allow what is no longer working to organically dissolve. Try not to push the river or overestimate your forces, but conversely, don’t underestimate your forces, or succumb to states of paralysis or powerlessness. There’s a tendency towards extremes, and the trick is to find the sweet spot. Breaking things down into manageable chunks, streamlining, slowly masticating the changes, and allowing yourself some wiggle room to be adaptable as necessary will go a long way to mitigate these maths. It’s a high pressure landscape, with a focus on reaching an apex point in a fractal series of upgrades. The accent here is on money, ethics, values, material/somatic reality, and energetic exchanges. Try to take it easy when you can. Good luck out there this week to everyone. 

TUES NOV 8

The Moon is exalted in all of Taurus, and is particularly potent in the second face. The Full Moon total eclipse occurs at 16 degrees Taurus at 3:02 AM PST, exactly conjunct Uranus, in close orb to the North Node, and tightly square Saturn. Essentially right on top of the Saturn/Uranus square, symbolizing that a breakthrough is nigh as we can begin to put the tension of this aspect behind us in the weeks ahead. There's an element of liberation signified by these configurations. This decan of Taurus is represented by the 6 of pentacles, a card symbolizing mutually beneficial exchanges and agreements, the ethics of giving and receiving. It’s a karmic decan that also represents balance between various aspects of the somatic realms. Work and play. Action and repose. Alchemy of vitamin, mineral, herb, and amino. The eclipse opposes the Scorpio stellium (Sun, Mercury, Venus). There’s a lot of passion, drive, and desire here, with an element of surprise, and much to integrate. There’s a bit of a swap out happening, as something is being dropped, renegotiated, or transitioned away from to make room for something else that feels more appropriate. It’s important to ensure there’s adequate replacement for anything essential that is being dissolved or phased out, in order to minimize austerity. There’s a refocus and repurposing of energy here, as certain messes are detangled and debacles resolved. Inevitable processes and ineffable truths are faced. Energy exchanges are renegotiated. This eclipse represents an apex point in an ongoing recalibration of somatic, cognitive, relational, social, financial, and energetic systems at all levels. It’s best to avoid delusions of grandeur, or foolish gambles, and focus on simplification via smaller risks with more certain rewards. The Mars Rx cycle is helpful for making tweaks, adjustments and improvements, and sorting out messy situations. While one apex is reached, another peak lies over the horizon, and Mars narrows it’s focus while Jupiter Rx in Pisces widens the lens and deepens pigment and saturation. 

WED NOV 9

The Moon enters inquisitive Gemini at 5:37 AM PST, sextile Jupiter and trine Pluto in the early morning hours, seeing the day begin on a very curious note . The Sun and Mercury in Scorpio opposite Uranus can see conversations or thoughts easily go into controversial, edgy, taboo, heady, or intense territory. Small things can easily get u DER the skin or have an undermining influence. Focus on what's good, what's working for you. Have faith, but don't rely on luck right now. There can be some surprising insights, interactions or "out of character" things revealed over the coming days. A lot of curiosity is aroused, and things can feel almost too stimulating. As the day progresses, try to use any doubts or potential dips in confidence as an impetus towards making adjustments and improvements. Simplification should be the aim. Blockages are temporary. 

THURS NOV 10

The day begins with a solid goal in mind and a desire to streamline and innovate a way forward. The Moon in Gemini is trine Saturn and goes on to conjoin Mars and square Neptune, seeing energy pick up somewhat as the day progresses, although this math favors more indirect or subtle approaches. A beautiful trine between Venus and Neptune perfects this morning at 22 degrees, and this can see heightened intuition, creativity, inspiration and sensitivity to nuance. This configuration highlights a dream, ideal, fantasy, or inner spiritual sanctuary that functions as a sort of lighthouse. Beauty can be found in unusual places. There’s a lot of kindness, love, passion, and beauty in this configuration, just take care that you’re lavishing it on deserving people and not being taken advantage of. A good aspect for privately musing and getting in touch with your true desires and inner promptings. A passionate, curious, if rather bemusing landscape.

FRI NOV 11

The Moon in Gemini conjunct Mars and square Jupiter and Neptune makes an awkward quincunx to Venus. There’s a lot of sensitivity here to what’s said, what’s not said, or what’s merely implied, and perhaps a sensitivity to power dynamics. The lowest octave expression of the lunar quincunx to Venus in Scorpio can tend towards an obsequious sycophancy that barely conceals an agenda, while lower octave expressions of Moon/Mars/Neptune can be a bit passive aggressive. In a more direct expression, these aspects can inspire venting sessions, disclosures, or tea spillages. Choose your confidants wisely. Although Venus trine Neptune has high ideals and intense desires, Venus quincunx Mars can see a difficulty asserting oneself or asking for what you want in relationships and other exchanges and dynamics. There’s a need to find a way to recalibrate certain arrangements which ensures that everything is above board and that boundaries, terms, and expectations (and even your own feelings about things) are clearly understood. There may also simply be a need to let off steam, disclose something, and get some honest feedback.  Just take care to avoid impulsively blurting things out without due introspection. The Moon moves into cozy and clannish Cancer early evening, shifting the focus towards comfort, safety, nurturing, and emotional replenishment. 

SAT NOV 12

The Moon in Cancer squares Chiron, seeing an accent on vulnerabilities, compassion, and protective instincts. Hopefully a vulnerability hangover was averted after yesterday’s configurations. With the Moon trine Juno, there can be quiet support in the background, which is a helpful influence under the sensitive lunation. There’s a desire here to nourish the soul, strengthen foundations, and attend to needs or desires which may have been sidelined or thrown off kilter in recent weeks and months. Later on, the Moon forms a trine to the Sun and Neptune and a sextile to Uranus, seeing some surprising emotional insights, subtle breakthroughs, psychic downloads, or disarming and enlightening experiences. It’s possible there’s something to feel excited about, and there can be something refreshing and deeply nourishing about doing something a little different or out of our norm.

SUN NOV 13

The Moon in Cancer is trine the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Neptune. This is beautiful math. There can be some relief that accompanies these configurations, and a feeling that certain challenges are on their way towards a resolution. There’s a lot of compassion, coziness, beauty and even mysticism in these configurations, and there can be good news circulating that can feel deeply reassuring. A sense of hope can be restored, but there’s also a strong desire to look deeper under the surface of things and to follow a hunch. The Moon opposes Pluto as the day wears on, indicating a desire to unearth something or explore it more deeply. There can be more to something or someone than it seems. There’s a powerful drive to get to the bottom of something, or to understand our own or others true motives, along with a push towards metamorphosis, rebirth, and regeneration here. There can be something that provides an impetus to make some long awaited changes. Follow your instincts.
