How’s your Venus retrograde going? Maybe just as important, it’s happening in the Via Combusta, the part of the sky with the least slack and forgiveness. We can handle it, though. We can work through it and come out the other side more productive and lively than ever. (continue reading…)

November 1st -7th 2015

(all times are PST)

Happy November! If you’re not maniacally writing the first draft of a novel with NaNoWriMo, you still have a lot in you that is trying to get out. The month starts on a Sunday, the Sun’s day of the week, and we naturally want to work on what is most important to us. Why not? And, why wait?

Sun Nov 01 the Moon is in Cancer all day. We are now on Standard Time! (You may not care, but I hate daylight savings time.) Late tonight Mercury changes signs, leaving easy-going Libra and entering emotionally more demanding Scorpio. (I guess this means that Mercury is in the heart of the Fiery Road, the Via Combusta.) Heads Up. Thoughts and points of view turn serious and deep.

Mon Nov 02 the Moon is in fiery Leo when Venus and Mars form their third conjunction of the year, in the sign Virgo. Heads Up. If the world tries to punch any of your emotional buttons, dive deeper into your work. Get a lot done today, and be proud of yourself.

Wed Nov 04 the Moon is void of course in Leo for half of the day, moving into Virgo for the second half. Work hard, then settle down and work steady. It’s all good.

Fri Nov 06 the Moon conjoins Jupiter in Virgo. Feel lucky in all the little ways. Use lots of your favorite short words.

Sat Nov 07 the Moon conjoins Mars shortly after midnight as the day begins. Expect to be energized in the morning. About four hours later the Moon catches up with Venus, all in Virgo, and goes void of course. Raw ambition may soften into something with a lighter touch. Two and a half hours later, the Moon slips into Libra. Have a plan, or an outline, and include a few people in it. It’s a Heads Up day.

November 2012

Welcome to November, in an autumn when even the weather has been intense and weird. We have a great beginning, with Nov 1 being on Thursday (Jupiter’s day of the week) and the Moon in writer/artist-friendly Gemini. Venus exactly opposes Uranus today. Don’t let this turn you off from the experimental and unconventionally creative (is that redundant?) this  month. Let it enhance your sensitivity to the new and fresh. Find the charm in what’s radical, without getting swept away. The Moon also conjuncts Jupiter today. This can raise emotions and personal expectations, too.  Make this a happy, productive day and take it forward with you all month long. (continue reading…)
