Overview

November 28th brings a conjunction between Mercury and Saturn in Sagittarius. Saturn will define a verbal or written commitment/idea. This can also be an official ending that’s put into words. But Mercury will station Rx on December 3rd, which is the same day as the Mercury-ruled Gemini Full Moon (squaring Neptune). Mercury Rx is the backtrack or delay, and the Full Moon square Neptune suggests a culmination that’s unclear. The results may reveal more choices and questions. So what seemed to be concrete will actually be the start of a review, with confusion and shifting options until Mercury stations direct (December 22nd). Note that Mercury Rx will conjoin Saturn in Sag on December 6th, so you’ll be revisiting the issue from November 28th. 

December 1st features Venus’ entrance into Sagittarius and an opposition between Mars in Libra and Uranus Rx. Mars/Uranus is the abrupt break or leap forward – a result that hits fast and hard. Combined with the planet of relationships, money and values entering the sign of exploration, this feels like a surge towards freedom and excitement. Something new can hit and reveal bigger, better, more enticing. The first of three trines between Jupiter in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces (December 2nd) continues that theme, with flowing expansion or immersion. Jupiter broadens and Neptune dissolves. Combine the two, and you have limitless possibilities. Just remember that Mercury will be stationing Rx on December 3rd, and Neptune will make that confusing square to the Full Moon. 

On January 12th 2020, Saturn will conjoin Pluto at 22 degrees Capricorn. This will be the start of a new cycle involving authority and power – a deconstruction for some, and an official confirmation for others. For added interest, the Sun, Mercury and Ceres will be nearby. Wondering how this might impact you? Check out my downloadable PDF for a description of these influences by natal house. 

Aries

Mercury/Saturn in your opportunities sector suggests an official statement/document  involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing. Too, a belief can be confirmed or can demand your exclusive focus. It might be time to get serious about a new area of study. However, the Full Moon in your communication sector, and Mercury Rx, suggests final statements/goals may not be as final as you thought. More questions will be raised, and there may be delays as further proof is demanded. 

Venus into your sector of opportunities and Mars opposite Uranus Rx in your sign suggest an explosive new romance or an explosive break for freedom from an existing relationship. This energy may push you to dive into something new, or someone else may be the catalyst. There is an element of risk, so use a bit of caution. Meanwhile, Jupiter/Neptune can loosen boundaries and encourage immersive intimacy, big spending, or a deep release of fears and secrets. 

Taurus

Mercury/Saturn in your sector of shared resources can define an issue around debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or intimacy. A private conversation may appear to nail it down, as boundaries are set and commitments made. However, the Full Moon in your sector of personal resources, and Mercury Rx, indicates that the above will not be clear-cut. Deeper questions may come up regarding personal versus shared finances, and independence versus intimacy. There can be delays, a change in plans or mixed messages. 

Venus into your sector of shared resources and Mars/Uranus can accelerate behind-the-scenes developments with money or relationships. A sudden reveal or change of routine (regarding health or work) can push things to the next level. Or, trigger deeper insight and more questions. Jupiter/Neptune suggests a partnership can progress easily, perhaps becoming intimate more quickly than anticipated. Too, mutual forgiveness, compassion and enjoyment can flow as one-on-one connections and friendships/group activities blend nicely. 

Gemini

Mercury/Saturn in your partnership sector points to a commitment or definitive answer – a promise, signed document or absolute “yes/no” that defines where the relationship is going. However, the Full Moon in your sign and Mercury Rx indicates that the answer  or commitment may not be final. Shifting future goals, or emerging disagreements about what a mutual future entails, can trigger questions. If someone changes their mind, don’t push for a decision. Too, you may feel that your choices are not clear-cut; take some time to sort through the options. 

Venus into your partnership sector and Mars/Uranus suggest that new relationship developments could feature a surprising attraction, or a “now or never” push for attention/appreciation. A new attraction could catch you off guard and raise questions about an existing relationship. Or, an existing relationship could abruptly reveal a whole new side to you and/or your partner. All relationships (platonic or romantic) may have unexpected public consequences. Professionally, if you’re looking to attract attention you’ll certainly have the opportunity. Just be aware that the reactions of others may be unexpected. Jupiter/Neptune encourages a smooth flow between your daily efforts/work routines and big-picture career goals. Change and expansion on a mundane level can boost possibilities for a dream job, or future goal that previously seemed unreachable. 

Cancer

Mercury/Saturn in your sector of routine can define a health or work issue. A problem, diagnosis or solution may be outlined, but the Full Moon in your hidden sector and Mercury Rx suggest that unexpected results can throw you off track. The solution may not work out as planned, or the diagnosis may be more complicated. It might be time to take a closer look at something you missed. Or, your work/health routines may need to be adjusted. 

Venus into your sector of routine and Mars/Uranus will add more surprises, with a sudden development at home/with family. An unexpected result around a home business, relocation, repair, family issue or career goal can switch your focus to must-dos and obligations. However, you may find that you have more assistance and support than anticipated. Too, an abrupt change of plans can work out for the best, bringing unexpected blessings to work or health issues. Jupiter/Neptune can open some creative or romantic doors, as new possibilities beckon you forward. Travel, education, legal matters, publishing or creative work are areas where you can find a receptive audience. 

Leo

Mercury/Saturn in your sector of self-expression can define a new attraction, creative work or issue involving children/pregnancy. This can be a manifestation aspect, or a “no”. Much depends on the efforts you’ve put into achieving this goal and your perspective on reality. However, the Full Moon in your social sector and Mercury Rx can put developments on hold, as responses from friends, groups or the public raise more questions. Too, there could be a change of plans, change of heart or questions about what you really want. Issues around finances or intimacy can stir up confusion.

Venus into your sector of self-expression and Mars/Uranus will add another wrinkle, with a surprising bit of information, unexpected announcement or conversation that adds something new to look forward to. You may be tempted to give a final response or speak out abruptly, before you know all the facts. Use caution – Mercury Rx means there’s more to uncover. Jupiter/Neptune can encourage you to open up on a deeper level, drop your boundaries or spend/invest more. Home finances look promising, especially if you’re upgrading or adding more to your home/family. 

Virgo

Mercury/Saturn in your domestic sector hi-lights a family discussion, home document or decision about a home business. The terms may appear solid, but the Full Moon in your career sector, and Mercury Rx, says there’s more to talk about/review. There may be delays around relocating, selling or coming to an agreement with a domestic partner. Additional options can appear, but you may not be certain about what’s true and what’s false. Take your time and carefully consider all the information, keeping in mind that things can shift again once Mercury stations direct. 

Venus into your domestic sector, and Mars/Uranus, can push you to leap into something new involving finances or relationships. Keep in mind that you may not have all the information, and even if you’re being pushed to act (or feel panicky/impatient) it’s in your best interests to be cautious. A sudden change in financial status, or unexpected expense, are also possibilities. Jupiter/Neptune can bring glowing promises from a partner, or moments of happiness as you come to an agreement, forgive or connect on an intuitive level. Enjoy the good news/good vibes.

Libra

Mercury/Saturn in your communication sector can present an official answer, document, decision or defining conversation. It can also solidify your resolve or crystallize a plan. However, the Full Moon in your sector of opportunities and Mercury Rx can reveal another, confusing layer to the plan or decision. There may be backtracking or questions, plus a reveal of previously obscured information. Allow the questions to emerge and expect delays and miscommunications. 

Venus in your communication sector, and Mars in your sign opposite Uranus Rx can trigger impulsive actions. Too, a new attraction/flirtation can catch you off guard or upset your balance. Remember that things are still in flux with Mercury Rx. Jupiter/Neptune can increase the flow of income via your daily efforts/routines – watch for new financial opportunities or an increase in your security and well-being. 

Scorpio

Mercury/Saturn in your sector of personal resources can solidify a a financial agreement or plan. A discussion about self-worth, or your bottom-line requirements, can cement your boundaries. But the Full Moon in your sector of shared resources, and Mercury Rx, can bring up questions about the above. Boundaries can become blurred and you may start to doubt what you want or have. Financial agreements may not be finalized at this point. Know that this process will continue until Mercury stations direct. 

Venus into your sector of personal resources, and Mars/Uranus, can reveal an unexpected development regarding self-esteem or finances. A sudden change in a work or health situation can increase your optimism, or your desire to spend/self-sooth. Background or hidden issues will be at play, so make sure you have the whole story before you invest more of your time or money. Jupiter in your sign trine Neptune in your sector of self-expression can open things up, creatively or romantically. Watch for easy immersion into something you’ve been hoping for. Too, this aspect can dissolve your boundaries and make it tempting to overindulge.

Sagittarius

Mercury/Saturn in your sign can bring a conclusion, official answer or line-in-the-sand discussion. One chapter ends and another begins, with clear definitions of your responsibilities. However, the Full Moon in your partnership sector, and Mercury Rx, suggests that a conclusion/culmination with a partner may raise new questions. What you thought was a done deal may not be complete. Confusing family dynamics or issues from the past can dissolve what you thought was certain, and urge you to review the rules. The discussion isn’t over, and there’s more information to look at. 

Venus into your sign, and Mars/Uranus, suggests an exciting boost of attraction, socialization or brilliant inspiration. It may be time to go public, show off, make your move or promote your work. Celebrations can be hi-lighted as well. Just use a bit of caution when dealing with others – you may unprepared for certain reactions, especially involving friends and group dynamics. Jupiter/Neptune can ease you past any domestic/family difficulties, with a subtle but marked upsurge in optimism and relief. There may be a growing sense that everything is going to be ok, or that you’re on the right track. Trust your instincts.

Capricorn

Mercury/Saturn in your hidden sector can draw a line under the past, as an ending or transition is clarified. This may be happening in the background, or it may be your internal voice/inner conviction that urges you to draw that line. However, the Full Moon in your sector of routine, and Mercury Rx, says there’s more that you’re not aware of, regarding health, work routines or service to others. You may be confused by additional information or second thoughts, and there may be more to consider before you close that door. Rather than trying to sort through confusing messages or possible deceptions, stay open to what’s happening and allow the facts to settle on their own. The full story should be revealed by the time Mercury stations direct. 

Venus into your hidden sector, and Mars/Uranus, suggests a sudden shift regarding home and career. Surprising developments at work, in a job search, or with someone in authority can trigger a 180 degree turn in your future goals. However, there may be a silver lining that allows you to develop a less obvious option. Too, you may feel that it’s time to pull back and concentrate only on what’s most precious to you. Jupiter/Neptune suggests happy moments with friends, groups or public connections. There will be an easy flow of communication and optimism, as new opportunities naturally unfold. Excellent for reaching out to others, meeting new people or making a positive impact on the public. 

Aquarius

Mercury/Saturn in your social sector can confirm a friendship, or issue with friends/the group. There could be a defining conversation that clarifies exactly where you stand with someone, and this could include an ending. Professionally, this influence suggests an official announcement or speech. However, the Full Moon in your sector of self-expression, and Mercury Rx, can trigger second thoughts, delays or miscommunication, regarding the above. Insecurities or shifting values/finances can make you aware of additional choices, or make you question your final choices. A verbal commitment may be uncertain, as others have more to say. 

Venus into your social sector, and Mars/Uranus, suggests an unexpected opportunity or meeting. Watch for a new/unusual piece of news involving travel, education, legal matters, foreign matters or publishing. There may be more to discover, even as you deal with the confusion/delays of Mercury Rx. Jupiter/Neptune suggests positive developments with work, earned money or future goals. Watch for more support from those in authority, more future opportunities and a general sense of hope and increased security. 

Pisces

Mercury/Saturn in your career sector can define a career goal, indicate important discussions with management or clarify job requirements. This could also mark the end of one chapter in your career. However, the Full Moon in your domestic sector (square Neptune in your sign), and Mercury Rx, suggests that everything is not as final as you thought. Events at home/with family can raise more questions and see you considering other choices regarding your future. Conversations with those in authority may feature some backsliding, delays or confusion. Your future is at a turning-point, but you may not have a final answer until Mercury stations direct. 

Venus into your career sector, and Mars/Uranus, suggest that sudden changes in a financial or intimate situation could open up new possibilities for your future. You could feel that you’re at the mercy of someone else’s actions, and while it’s true that you’ll have limited control, you may be able to spin this to your advantage. Watch for a strategic professional relationship to open up, or a chance to make a good impression on higher ups. Jupiter in your opportunities sector, trine Neptune in your sign, adds to the positive potential with developments around travel, education, legal matters, exploration or publishing. There’s more to explore, and luck (right place, right time) may be a dominant factor. Watch for the moment when it feels natural and effortless to step forward.

Overview

November 21st is the start of Sagittarius season. The Sun’s ingress into the sign of exploration is a time when faith, trust and truth/lies are emphasized. The big picture comes into focus, and Mercury in Sagittarius square Chiron Rx in Pisces (November 24th) can focus on a painful truth or disappointment. Big words/promises can expose a wound. However, Mercury’s trine to Uranus Rx in Aries (November 25th) encourages you to keep the conversation going, and to keep looking for new information. There may be a way around what hurts, and hope for the future depends on your ability to envision that future. 

Venus in Scorpio’s trine to Chiron (November 26th) adds more encouragement with profound expressions of love, empathy and courageous compassion. This is about finding the beauty in what hurts, and loving someone (or yourself) despite the ugly wound or painful secret. 

Neptune direct on November 22nd is a very subtle change, and you may not feel it. However, that doesn’t mean nothing’s happening. Neptune Rx was an intensified dissolution of old limits, structures or ideas. Neptune direct is the move forward, after that dissolution. You could notice a gradual sense of release, as something gently fades away. Now, look forward – what’s opening up?

Aries

The Sun into your sector of opportunities turns your eyes to new horizons. Long-distance travel, education, legal matters or publishing are areas where you may feel compelled to explore. Neptune direct in your hidden sector can bring a subtle background shift, loosening unconscious limits and allowing you to take advantage of these new opportunities. 

Aspects to Mercury in your opportunities sector (including the trine to Uranus Rx in your sign) can encourage you to speak out or learn something new, even as unacknowledged fears and insecurities are triggered. Don’t allow secrets or hidden wounds to undermine your progress, but do watch for unexpected sensitivities that may be triggered – a public declaration can reveal a hurtful secret. Venus/Chiron can offer some respite, if you’re ready to open up to someone you trust, or allow yourself t0 (privately) share and forgive. Venus/Chiron can bring soothing moments of intimacy and psychological healing. 

Taurus

The Sun into your sector of shared resources turns the spotlight on debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy. Aspects to Mercury in your sector of shared resources can get the conversation moving, with new ideas or a fresh approach to existing issues. However, you may encounter moments of discomfort as sensitive topics are broached. You or the other person may not want to reveal everything. 

Venus/Chiron can smooth over any hurt feelings or awkward moments from the above, with empathetic, one-on-one connections. Interactions with a partner or close friend can increase feelings of compassion and understanding, as long as you’re ready to cooperate on a deeper level (let go of stubborn controlling tendencies). 

Neptune direct in your social sector suggests a gradual shift in a friendship, group association or your public image. Watch for old ideals, rules or structures to slowly dissolve as your public relationships move forward. 

Gemini

The Sun into your partnership sector puts the focus on the other in your life. Whether you’re single, involved or there’s someone whom you’d like to become involved with, the Sun in your opposite sign illuminates what truths/lies you project onto others, and the narrative of your relationships. Aspects to Mercury in your partnership sector will add to this with awkward but illumining one-on-one discussions. There is more to talk about, so don’t allow uncomfortable topics (involving career, professional image or discussions with those in authority) to shut you down. Keep the lines of communication open, but if you’re dealing with work matters, be aware of the risks around indiscreet words. 

Venus /Chiron offers assistance in guise of sympathetic co-workers or daily work/solutions that are well-received by those in authority. Too, the assistance you offer others, or your own efforts at treating yourself more gently, can be healing and encouraging. 

Neptune direct in your career sector can see you dealing with the results of disillusionment or confusion regarding a career goal. Your future is not set in stone, so allow yourself to ask questions or consider other professional opportunities. 

Cancer

The Sun into your sector of routine spotlights daily tasks, health and service to others. A specific problem may be emphasized, and aspects to Mercury in this sector can trigger a conversation or observation that makes you feel vulnerable or unprepared. However, keep your eyes open for new information or approaches to an existing problem – your fresh take on the situation, and your willingness to incorporate something new into your routines, can help.

Venus/Chiron offers more assistance with assurance that your creative or romantic efforts can have a positive impact. Putting yourself out there, in any context, can actually ease your worries and should resonate with others.

Neptune direct in your opportunities sector suggests progress with travel, education, legal matters, an ideal or publishing. What you’ve been confused about can now flow forward, opening up new possibilities. 

Leo

The Sun into your sector of self-expression energizes your desire to go public, be creative  or launch something big. The desire to celebrate can increase as well. Aspects to Mercury in this sector will encourage you to speak out, but you’ll also encounter some buried sensitivities involving shared finances or intimacy. It will be easy to say too much, and say it insensitively, in the heat of the moment. 

Venus/Chiron encourages exploration of these sensitive issues, but in a more private manner. Relationships with family or a domestic partner can be soothing as you experience understanding and support. It might be better to keep some issues confined to those closest to you. 

Neptune direct in your sector of shared resources suggests gradual progress regarding debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy. Areas of confusion or financial “leakage” won’t be resolved overnight, but you are moving towards a deeper understanding, based on the release of  undermining habits and associations.  

Virgo

The Sun into your domestic sector turns the spotlight on home, family and the past. Aspects to Mercury in this sector suggest that painful conversations with a partner may be part of the package, as you delve into past issues and current wounds. As uncomfortable as this makes you, the key is to keep talking- the deeper you go, the more you’ll uncover unconventional solutions and information (especially involving domestic finances and intimacy). 

Venus/Chiron continues the theme of communication with loving, empathetic conversations. Don’t hesitate to reach out and remain open to what the other person is going through. Consider that you may share this area of pain with them. 

Neptune direct in your partnership sector continues the slow process of releasing old relationship insecurities (or releasing an old relationship) while making room for more hope and belief in your love life. Neptune direct can bring a subtle move forward in a relationship area where you’ve felt bogged down or lost (especially if you’ve been projecting your dreams onto a fantasy partner). 

Libra

The Sun into your communication sector energizes conversations, brief meetings, writing, emails and phone calls. Aspects to Mercury in this sector point to a particularly awkward conversation or piece of information regarding work routines or health. Discussions may be hurtful, as they expose an area that still needs improvement. Keep the exchange of information going, especially in a one-on-one context. Someone may be able to provide inspiration and fresh ideas. 

Venus/Chiron suggests that despite the above discomforts, you can still find support if you confront areas where there are flaws or weaknesses. You may find that your security and self-esteem actually receive a boost with the resulting healing. 

Neptune direct in your sector of routine eases you forward regarding health/diet/exercise/self-care. An ongoing issue will see progress as you release old habits. Work routines can gradually shift, and while the outcome may not be clear yet, you’re learning how to realign your priorities.  

Scorpio

The Sun into your sector of personal resources turns your focus to what you want and how you go about getting it. Earned money, self-esteem and values are hi-lighted. Aspects to Mercury in this sector can trigger some insecurities about finances or emotional entanglements, as you’re made aware of what you’re missing or can’t have. However, the path forward involves a clear-eyed focus on what you need to do (practical application of solutions) plus an awareness of necessary changes to work or heath habits. 

Venus in your sign, trine Chiron in your sector of self-expression, can sooth hurt feelings and insecurities. Watch for an opportunity to embrace your weaknesses and experience empathy in return. You may even attract others with a combination of vulnerability and honesty, as you make your insecurities work for you.

Neptune direct in you sector of self-expression suggests another layer of release and the expansion of new potentials, regarding romance, creative work or children/pregnancy. As old fears and illusions fall away, know that you’re making room for something more. A creative project can slowly but surely move forward. 

Sagittarius

The Sun into your sign is that time of year when you take stock of where you’ve been and where you’re going. Saturn’s transit through your sign has put you through the paces with extra responsibilities and enforced focus, but Saturn’s exit in December suggests this Solar Return year should offer a bit more freedom. Aspects to Mercury in your sign can trigger wounds from the past (family history) or existing difficulties at home. A domestic conversation could stir up some sore spots, but you’ll also have creative inspiration and confidence, enabling you to keep generating new, hopeful ideas. 

Venus/Chiron suggests the way to deal with domestic wounds is a deeply private exploration of where you feel most vulnerable. Opening up to one person that you trust implicitly, or even dealing with this on your own (in secret) can enable emotional release. You may decide to simply let go of what you can’t fix. 

Neptune direct in your domestic sector suggests gradual progress with a family issue, home business, relocation or property development. Your foundation may still feel uncertain, but you should find it easier to say goodbye to a situation that’s been weakening or distracting you. 

Capricorn

The Sun into your hidden sector can turn your attention to background or secret issues. While your social sector is humming with Jupiter and Venus, you may become more aware of certain undercurrents. Aspects to Mercury in your hidden sector suggest painful or sensitive secrets may come out, as a conversation/discovery opens your eyes. As uncomfortable as this may be, it also signals progress regarding domestic and family issues. Change is necessary, even if it reopens some wounds.  

Venus/Chiron can help with the above, via support from friends or groups. Despite what’s going on behind the scenes, your public image/reputation can flourish – others will resonate with what you’re going through. These aspects encourage you to go public with what you know. 

Neptune direct in your communication sector suggests you can make inroads on a difficult topic, as your perception and ideas gradually shift. Allow yourself to let go of what no longer makes sense, while embracing what’s slowly emerging. 

Aquarius

The Sun into your social sector hi-lights connections with friends, the public and your place in the group. Aspects to Mercury in this sector can trigger some discussions with friends, or discoveries about others, that leave you feeling vulnerable, embarrassed or exposed. However, despite any wounds, you’re encouraged to keep researching/discussing new options and developments. There may be a way forward that you hadn’t considered. 

Venus/Chiron offers a boost of security and reassurance as future or career goals fall into place. Someone in authority has your back, or they may offer financial solutions. 

Neptune direct in your sector of personal resources signals the next stage of the ongoing transformation of your security base, earned income or source of self-esteem. Certain sources of security are no longer valid, as your values are shifting. You may be letting go, simplifying and cutting back. 

Pisces

The Sun into your career sector emphasizes future goals and your approach to success. Aspects to Mercury in this sector (including the square to Chiron Rx in your sign) can trigger doubts about success, or your current career path. New information or a conversation with someone in authority can make you question if you’re heading in the right direction. However, if you can see beyond your insecurities, you’ll note that there is an emerging opportunity that involves new sources of income, or new ways to boost your self-esteem. A calculated risk may be involved. Don’t be scared off by new/unusual opportunities. 

Venus in your opportunities sector, trine Chiron Rx in your sign, urges you to step out. Travel, education, long-distance romance, legal matters or publishing are areas where you can attract something completely different that will benefit you. Rather than avoiding what makes you feel insecure, consider following that path and seeing where it leads. Neptune direct in your sign adds encouragement as old fears/limits slip away and a new road gradually emerges in front of you.
