Mon Oct 27th - Sun Nov 2nd


Monday 10/27 it's a fast paced morning. People are somewhat impatient and edgy as the Moon in Sag squares Mars around noon MST. Remember to breathe and watch out for sudden moves in traffic. Mercury in Scorpio trines Mars in Pisces this afternoon. This is a very verbal and quickwitted aspect, good for writing and problem solving but a bit sharp tongued and argumentative. This evening things calm down and the mood is mellow and relaxed.

Tuesday the Moon conjuncts Pluto around 8AM MST. This is a passionate, opinionated alignment, philosophical and spiritual at it's best. Sag has lots of physical energy and loves the great outdoors so you might want to get out and excercise.

Wednesday the Moon moves into Capricorn in the early morning hours
. It's easier to concentrate and buckle down to business. You can get alot done today with relatively little effort. Things go smoothly and communication is favored.

Thursday 10/30 Today's Sun trine Mars is a major influence this week. Mars is the action planet and this is a good time to dive on in and implement a plan. You can make a lot of headway now though you might want to write yourself a note since Mercury squares spacey Neptune, making it easy to forget important details.

Friday 10/31 Happy Halloween! The Moon moves into Aquarius this morning. The mood is fun and friendly and a little bit wild. It should be a great night though it may be hard to agree on exactly which party you're going to, as everyone seems to have a different idea. Once you get that worked out it's smooth sailing.

Saturday 11/01 It's a powerful day with four major aspects, quite the lineup. This morning Mercury's sextile to Jupiter is optimist and outgoing. Mercury is also trining serious Saturn, which is good for planning and mental focus. Jupiter sextiles Saturn at 10:15 AM MST. This is a very balanced alignment, noted for it's good judgement and moderation. It's a great day for a strategy session and making long range plans. This afternoon Venus squares freedom loving, eccentric Uranus, adding a little spice to the mix. Try something a bit different and adventurous. This should be a great weekend!

Sunday 11/02 Looks like we've got something exciting planned this morning or maybe it all just happens spontaneously. Anyway it looks like fun. Venus moves into Sag at 2:42 PM MST and we're definitely in the mood to try something new. The Sun squares idealistic Neptune later this evening as we come in for a landing from this high powered weekend. This square is easygoing and laid back, intuitive, mystical and creative, though it can also be little confused and disoriented.

 

 Mon Nov 3rd - Sun Nov 10th


Monday 11/03 It's an emotional morning
as the Moon conjuncts Mars in Pisces at 4:21 AM MST. We're out of bed early even after the busy weekend. Looks like we're still inspired and excited, though by lunch time we begin to unwind. It's a lazy afternoon and an introspective evening as we digest recent events and consider our next move.

Tuesday the Moon's in Pisces and there are no exact aspects so it's relatively quiet day.

Wednesday 11/05 the Sun in Scorpio trines Saturn in Cancer. This is a conservative aspect, focused on domestic and financial security. It tends to regard those outside it's immediate circle with suspicion, definitely a "circle the wagons" mentality. It tends to be tight fisted, this is definitely not the week to expect a a favor or ask for a loan. Poverty consciousness fuels a fearful outlook.

Thursday the Sun sextiles Jupiter in Virgo. While usually an expansive energy the signs involved indicate this is more about good planning, wise investment and a conservative use of resources.

Friday 11/07 The Moon sextiles Uranus early this morning, so we get an early start. There's an undercurrent of excitement and anticipation previous to tomorrow's Full Moon. The Moon enters Taurus at 9:29 AM MST.

Saturday 11/08 The planet Uranus goes direct at 28 degrees of Aquarius today. It's been retrograde since June 7th, a normal part of it's annual cycle. While Uranus is in retrograde the drive toward change is on the back burner as tactics and technique are under consideration. As it begins it's forward motion the drive toward change and greater personal freedom gains momentum.

It's a sleepy morning as the Moon in Taurus squares Neptune in Aquarius. If you try to get going early you'll find that it's easy to forget or overlook important details. Might as well sleep in. The Moon trines Jupiter this afternoon as we burst into a slow putter, enjoying the ritual of ordering our world with a little attention to chores or housecleaning. It's a "whistle while you work" kind of a day. The Moon is Full at 6:13 PM MST.

Sunday afternoon is rather argumentative as the Moon opposes Mercury and it looks like someone is itching for a fight. Plans could change suddenly along with the weather. Since it's hard to reach a consensus today maybe it would be best to do your own thing.

 

 Mon Nov 11th - Sun Nov 16th


Monday 11/10 This evening we kiss and make up after yesterday's fireworks
. The mood is romantic and passionate. It's a good night for a private dinner by candlelight or maybe just curling up with a good book.

Tuesday 11/11 Venus sextiles Neptune in the wee hours. This is an romantic, idealistic, artistic energy inspiring us to dream big.

Mercury squares unpredictable Uranus early this morning so people are changing their minds, doing an unexpected about face. New information is coming in and whatever the story was a few days ago, it's different now.

The Moon opposes Pluto around noon so these sudden changes can initiate power struggles and fierce opposition.

Wednesday 11/12 Mercury moves out of Scorpio and into Sagittarius today so freedom becomes a bigger priority than security.

Venus squares Mars, this aspect indicates the battle of the sexes is going strong. Sex drive is high, so we're either making love or fighting with the one we love to hate.

Thursday 11/13 It's a hard working, nose to the grind stone type of a day. There's a lot to take care of and now is the time. This could be rather exhausting and depressing as we feel somewhat overwhelmed by it all as the Moon conjuncts Saturn around noon. But tonight's Mars trine Saturn has lots of grit and stick-to-itiveness so we hang in there and get the job done.

Friday 11/14 Looks like we met yesterday's deadline because somehow today the pressure is off and we breathe a huge sigh of relief as the weekend rolls into view. Venus squares Jupiter this evening so there's a tendency to spend money and relax in style.

Saturday 11/15 The Moon's in Leo today and the urge to treat ourselves and spend money continues. It's a good morning to visit with friends or embark on a little weekend outing. The Moon opposes Neptune this evening so there's a tendency to overindulge.

Sunday 11/16 It's a romantic morning, fun, passionate and adventurous. With the emphasis on fire signs it's a good bet the weather will be warm and sunny today. Today's creativity and passion can result in stunning works of art or a possible pregnancy.

  Mon Nov 17th - Sun Nov 23rd


Monday 11/17 Venus conjuncts Pluto today. Passion may overrule our good judgement and some may chose to leave an established relationship to pursue that passion. This alignment can result in crimes of passion so there'll probably be a rise in rape and domestic violence, etc. leaving the police wondering what the heck hit them.

Tuesday 11/18 Today is all about Jupiter's opposition to Mars t-squaring Venus/Pluto in Sag. The Moon conjuncts Jupiter this morning triggering this t-square. Usually Moon/Jupiter is a lovely alignment and for some this certainly will be about love, passion and realignment with cherished beliefs and ideals.

But expect the news to be less than lovely for the next week or so. There's quite a line up of major aspects now, practically one a day. The rhetoric is flying hard and fast and you certainly can't believe everything you hear. Public opinion is being manipulated as it was prior to our invasion of Iraq. Gruesome details from the Middle East have us cringing as suicide attacks and brutal retaliations soar.

Wednesday 11/19 It's a quiet day. The Moon moves into Libra midday, and a harmonious, social mood prevails.

Thursday 11/20 Mars opposes Jupiter today. This is an exuberant energy that is known for it's optimism and tendency to over estimate and overdo. Though happy and high energy, the Victorian astrologer C. E. Carter regarded this aspect as dangerous because of the frequency with which it appeared in the charts of those involved in fatal accidents. It encourages a certain bravado and foolish courage accompanied by impatience, poor timing and a disregard for the risks involved.

Friday 11/21 The Sun in Scorpio squares unpredictable Uranus in Aquarius. Events take an unexpected direction. There's a strong urge toward making changes that will allow you greater freedom and self expression. Public opinion is taking a radical swing, threatening the status quo and the powers that be.

Saturday 11/22 The Sun moves into Sagittarius and it's an upbeat, optimistic day as Mercury in Sag squares Jupiter in Virgo. This is a happy-go-lucky aspect, friendly and out-going (though with a tendency to be opinionated and talk too much). It's an exuberant day with abundant physical energy. A good day to get out and get some exercise, just don't over do it.

Sunday 11/23 The Moon squares Uranus around noon so plans ans moods change suddenly. Adjustments under consideration since Friday will become reality soon. The Moon is new in the first degree of Sag at 3:59 PM MST. Mercury squares Mars in Pisces so what we're saying is at odds with what we're actually doing. This creates a lot of friction and some heated arguments.

 

 Mon Nov 24th - Sun Nov 30th


Monday 11/24 This is a big day. Mercury conjuncts Pluto in Sagittarius and the Moon conjuncts them both this evening at 8:17 PM MST unleashing an avalanche of events. This is not random or spontaneous. It has been planned for a very specific purpose. Things have been getting out of hand recently and this is gauged to bring events back under control. On the local level the crime wave continues and power plays predominate.

Tuesday 11/25 Venus sextile Uranus can be exciting, adventurous and creative. Coming as it does between such powerful alignments it is colored by these stronger influences which tend to bring out the kinky side of this aspect. On a private level though this is potentially a fun, upbeat day.

Wednesday 11/26 The mood is rather grim this morning as the Moon squares Saturn at 9:28 AM MST. Today's Mars square to Pluto has a violent intensity and ruthlessness toward anything that dares to oppose it, though it's certainly full of grit and determination. Venus moves into practical Capricorn.

Thursday 11/27 It's Thanksgiving and a relatively peaceful day, quite a welcome relief though there's still an undercurrent of stress due to recent events. It's comforting to gather with friends and loved ones.

Friday 11/28 It's a quiet morning. The Moon conjuncts Neptune and we're moving slowly, recovering from a little over indulgence. Looks like there'll be more visiting and socializing this evening.

Saturday 11/29 People are on the move today. A restless mood and the urge to get out and about makes for crowded freeways. At 5:46 PM MST the Moon conjuncts Uranus in the end of Aquarius and this is when the accidents start. Try to get to your destination well beforehand.

Sunday 11/30 The Moon's in Pisces today. It's pretty low key. Looks like everyones tired out after the holiday weekend and trying to get some rest before the work week starts.
