Overview

2018 kicks off with some full-throttle influences, so let’s dive in and see what’s going on. 

The January 1st Full Moon in Cancer brings emotions and needs to a boil. Parental issues, feeling safe and feeling accepted will be hi-lighted, and the Moon’s inclusion in a Grand Water Trine consisting of Mars and Neptune ensures that everything will bubble over. The Moon’s opposition to the Sun, Venus and Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn suggest that gender dynamics and various rules around acceptable/unacceptable female energy will also be featured. 

Uranus Direct: The Final Chapter

Uranus stations direct (at 24 degrees Aries) on January 2nd, kicking off its final chapter in this sign. Uranus first entered Aries on May 27th, 2010 and will exit Aries for Taurus on May 15th, 2018 (Uranus will briefly reenter Aries from November 6th, 2018-March 6th, 2019). Uranus in Aries was a primal break from the past. It may have brought you something/someone totally unexpected. It may have been a catalyst for your rebirth and liberation. It may have completely upended your life.

In the final months of its tour through Aries, changes/disruptions may intensify if you’ve somehow managed to cling to what’s outdated. If you’ve been on board with Uranus’ agenda, or there’s nothing else in your life that can be disrupted, you may experience these final months as a period of calm with Uranus receding into the distance. Much depends on your chart – planets, angles and Nodes from 24 to 29 degrees of the Cardinal signs will be feeling this last portion of Uranus’ transit most strongly. If you have anything at 23 degrees (or less) of the Cardinal signs, Uranus is done with that part of your life, forever. 

Mars and Jupiter: Going All The Way

Also on January 2nd, Mars (ruler of Aries) squares the Nodes from Scorpio, at 15 degrees. This includes the Uranus-ruled South Node in Aquarius. Uranus’ final shake up will be connected to actions (Mars) that bring you to a turning point – stick with the past and stay on the fringes (Aquarian South Node) or move towards the centre and bring light, pride and power to what you’re doing (Leo North Node). A square to the Nodes always gives you a choice. A profound commitment (Scorpio) to what you’re doing (Mars) will be key, and Uranus direct ensures that it will be very difficult to stick with what was. On December 24th, Jupiter in Scorpio also squared the Nodes, so these two dates may be connected. 

On January 6th, Jupiter and Mars conjoin at 17 degrees Scorpio, presenting a culmination or solution to issues from December 24th and January 2nd. The choice has been made and the opportunity is here – act now. Jupiter pushes Mars to do more/go deeper, and Mars excites Jupiter’s ideals and hopes for the future. This is a powerful surge of motivation and confidence, given added depth by all-or-nothing Scorpio. There could be an intensive (or fanatical) commitment to an ideal that you’re ready to fight for. There could be a rich opportunity to do something that makes more money, creates deeper (and hotter) intimacy or strengthens your body/survival instincts/personal power. Supportive sextiles from Mars/Jupiter to the Capricorn Sun, Black Moon Lilith, Venus and Pluto (which will extend to January 15th) mean that you’ll be on track because you’ll be grounded – structures and rules will be your friends as they guide you forward. 

This is all quite positive, but I will include a warning. Mars/Jupiter can take things too far, especially when Scorpio is involved. Jupiter can expand anything, including anger, obsession and the desire for vengeance. He’s usually jolly Jupiter, but there are plenty of examples where this big boy amplifies something negative. There are no limits here (the sextiles to the Capricorn planets may be nothing more than quiet reminders of what you should do). If your goal is obsessive or destructive, you can easily go off the deep end. Or, you may simply have really good intentions and take on way too much (because you’ll feel superhuman). You may be totally convinced that your next step is the right one. It probably is, but pause for just a second and make sure. Whatever you activate will go all the way, and it will be almost impossible to pull it back. 

Aries

The Full Moon in your domestic sector can activate issues involving a parent, child, your own childhood or family needs versus success and status. Results can include a relocation, change in family dynamics or change in career. Professional reputation, or a professional relationship, may be hi-lighted. Watch for intense emotional undercurrents around private issues, money or intimacy – what’s happening behind the scenes will drive surface events. 

Uranus direct in your sign can push you towards the finish line. Disruption, liberation or an awakening that began around May 2010 is nearing completion, and Mars square the Nodes will connect to this with some tension involving shared finances or intimacy. Actions that you take behind the scenes may involve your attempts to stand out, attract, create or simply be yourself. You may be pushing for something extra, but you’ll have to balance this against what’s available. This could refer back to the events of December 24th, 2017. 

The Mars/Jupiter conjunction in your sector of shared resources will bring issues to a head, with growth in the areas of debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or intimacy. There may be an effort to pay something off, make a big purchase, or get closer to someone. Efforts should be in harmony with future goals or ambitions. A professional relationship can flourish, due to what goes on in private. 

Taurus

The Full Moon in your communication sector can bring an emotional answer, conversation or realization involving education, travel, long-distance romance, legal matters or publishing. Public judgements or pronouncements may be an issue. Someone else’s efforts/reactions (a partner, potential partner or close friend) will drive the matter, and acceptable versus taboo, or private made public will be on display. This Moon does support reaching out to others and public speaking. 

Uranus direct in your hidden sector can clear away a final point of resistance to a change that’s been percolating since May 2010. As Uranus accelerates, get ready for its ingress to your sign in May 2018. What’s been simmering in the background may come out. Mars square the Nodes connects partnership issues to these background changes, as the efforts/reactions of someone else impacts your home and professional life. Projected ambitions (someone else’s ideas of success) may be an issue. This could refer back to events of December 24th, 2017. 

The Mars/Jupiter conjunction unites ideas of partnership growth with efforts to make it happen. Watch for a great leap forward in a new or existing relationship. In some cases, if the relationship is not doing well, one partner may leave. Either way, expansion into the future is favoured, as new goals for both of you (including travel, relocation or education) are energized. This will happen whether you’re on the same path or your paths are diverging, but the overall feeling is one of hope and expectation. A professional partnership can also flourish, as your joint ambitions combine to make both of you more successful. 

Gemini

The Full Moon in your sector of personal resources brings a culmination involving earned money, self-esteem or emotional security. Actions related to work, health or self-improvement will be featured, and you could successfully achieve what you need. However, there may also be difficult dynamics involving the power balance between and another, especially in terms of intimacy or shared resources. You could feel a strong urge to protect what’s yours. 

Uranus direct in your social sector brings you to the final stretch of changes/upheaval involving friends or group associations. What began around May 2010 as a new, liberated chapter in your relationships with others is now winding down. Any final outdated connections or adherence to restrictive social rules will be shaken, until Uranus exits this sector in May 2018. Mars square the Nodes may connect this to your efforts to improve, strengthen or tackle an increased workload. There’s significant ambition and energy to get things done, but you’ll have to look closely at how you’re expending that energy. There may be a need for further organization, which will help you zero in on what you should do, rather than distracting yourself with busywork. This could refer back to the events of December 24th, 2017.

The Mars/Jupiter conjunction brings it all together, with a burst of energy and a huge opportunity to make a difference in your health and/or work routine. The weight of responsibility could increase, but you’ll have a massive pool of initiative to tackle whatever’s thrown at you. Use it wisely – there may be a temptation to take on too much or scatter your focus. This could be the time for you to overhaul your diet or lifestyle. Whatever actions you take will support your intimate connection to a partner (or they may encourage you). Too, this could be about finding a more effective way to handle your finances – watch for an opportunity to invest wisely and lucratively. 

Cancer

The Full Moon in your sign puts the spotlight on your essential needs. What you’re getting/not getting from a partner may be hi-lighted – watch for projected parental issues. You are not their parent, and they are not your mommy or daddy. This Moon can trigger an overflow of feelings around a new attraction and your drive to be noticed/appreciated. 

Uranus direct in your career sector can accelerate changes in an existing job, or trigger a final push to break away from an unsatisfying/restrictive career path. It may be time to take that leap into something new, or to make those final tweaks to the ongoing shift in your definition of status and success. Mars square the Nodes can bring you to a related turning point regarding earned money and self-sufficiency, as you’re presented with a choice about how to fully express your creativity, originality or drive to be noticed. This could refer back to the events of December 24th, 2017.

The Mars/Jupiter conjunction presents a major opportunity to grab attention/appreciation for yourself. It may be time to stand up and show others your talents – people are watching. Too, there could be a chance to pursue someone you’re attracted to, or celebrate what you have. New and existing partnerships are favoured, with a mix of expansive fun, intense romance and commitment. 

Leo

The Full Moon in your hidden sector can illuminate a secret or unforeseen result. Work, heath matters or obligations could come to a peak, along with issues of who’s deserving of assistance. Self-improvement could be in the spotlight. There may be emotional undercurrents involving family secrets, unspoken issues or home finances, although this Moon will be an excellent release for whatever’s been brewing.

Uranus direct in your sector of opportunities can trigger a final disruption/breakaway around education, travel, legal matters or publishing. A relocation that’s been delayed may finally go forward, and Mars square the Nodes (including the North Node in your sign) connects this to family, home business or changes to the home environment. But these changes will have to be balanced against what a partner has in mind versus your personal goals. This could refer back to events of December 24th, 2017. 

The Mars/Jupiter conjunction can offer a resolution, with a big move, renovation or home expansion. Too, buried family issues can erupt. However, supportive aspects to planets in your sector of routine suggest any domestic changes should be improvements to your existing situations (renovations or a relocation to a better place are favoured) and actions will be supported by practical routines. If you feel overwhelmed, break down what you have to do and approach it systematically. 

Virgo

The Full Moon in your social sector can illuminate issues with friends, groups or your connections to the public in general. Attention seeking, an intense romantic attraction or creative displays may be areas where you see results. Watch for judgements or reactions from others on how you express you (sexuality or taboo behaviour may be issues). The open communication of feelings may be a theme, and what you say to a partner, someone you’d like to have as your partner, or a close friend, could be important. If something has to be said, it will probably come out. 

Uranus direct sector of shared resources suggests a final push in the areas of debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or intimacy. There could also be a final disruption or loss of control, if you’ve been ignoring the need for change. Mars square the Nodes suggests an assertive statement, conversation or argument may be part of the picture, and the question will be whether to remain stuck on inconsequential details or move beyond your worries and pursue something with bigger potential. Keep analyzing, or leap forward? This could refer back to events of December 24th, 2017

Mars/Jupiter can propel you forward, with a massive shot of optimism and inspiration. If the idea is hot and the opportunity is in front of you, go for it. Write it, say it. Too, a buried issue may erupt, and even though the words may be overwhelming, ultimately this will encourage your self-expression, creativity or confidence. Excellent for promoting your work or declaring your intentions. 

Libra

The Full Moon in your career sector can bring results around a new job, your professional image or your level of satisfaction/security with future goals. Who you are in your private life can define professional outcomes, for better or worse. This can include what you’re comfortable revealing to others. This Moon does feature favourable energies for earned money and daily security – watch for opportunities to blend daily routines/work habits with money-making potential. 

Uranus direct in your partnership sector can trigger progress (or endings) in a relationship, depending on the current state of things. A new/unexpected relationship that’s come into your life may be poised for more surprises. An existing relationship that’s grown stale will undergo one last shake up before Uranus leaves this sector in May 2018. Mars square the Nodes suggests efforts to maintain security, get what you want or earn more money may be part of the picture – this is about how your ambitions impact others, and how this isn’t just about you. This could refer back to events of December 24th, 2017.

The Mars/Jupiter conjunction can present you with a financial bonus (based on your efforts), big expenses or a breakthrough around how you get your essential needs met. There can be a boost in your self-esteem, along with renewed energy to make things happen for yourself. Your efforts should also encourage positive outcomes at home/with family. 

Scorpio

The Full Moon in your sector of opportunities can illuminate an issue around travel, education, legal matters, publishing or beliefs. What you learn or communicate will be driven by the trine to Mars in your sign, as passion, anger or initiative up the emotional stakes. This could be about saying what needs to be said, or passing judgement on a gender/sexual issue. 

Uranus direct in your sector of routine represents a final push to improve, change jobs or deal with a health issue. Changes to your daily routine that began around May 2010 are in their final phase, which can be good news if you’ve had enough of unpredictable events. Then again, if you’ve stubbornly resisted the need to break old habits, this could be your wake up call. Mars in your sign, square the Nodes, will feed into this with a call to action – you may have to choose between family loyalties/ingrained patterns versus your future success and ambitions. This could refer back to events of December 24th, 2017.

The Mars/Jupiter conjunction in your sign will encourage you to act, and it may be impossible to resist. Here is a winning combination of luck, optimism, opportunity and initiative. If you want something, this is your chance to pursue it. This high-energy aspect will support your writing/speaking, so this is also about walking your talk. If you have a bright idea or plan, now’s the time to do something with it. 

Sagittarius

The Full Moon in your sector of shared resources suggests results involving intimacy, debts, taxes, loans or your partner’s finances. Too, there could be a psychological breakthrough as deep issues/fears are illuminated. This may feel overwhelming and bigger than you, as what’s hidden/unacknowledged bubbles up and drives events. The past will leak into the present. Earned money and self-esteem will also be in the spotlight, and this could be a chance to come to terms with buried issues of neediness or insecurity. In some cases, there could be a financial bonus or gift. 

Uranus direct in your sector of self-expression will urge you to cut the last ties that have been preventing you from really stepping out. Freedom, creativity and attraction can all shift into overdrive. Issues with children/pregnancy or a new romance may have a few more surprises to offer. Mars square the Nodes will be connected, with background or unconscious actions in the driver’s seat. There’s a chance to move forward or expand your reach, but you’ll have to tune into your true motivations. This could refer back to events of December 24th, 2017.

Mars/Jupiter can present a lucky break or shot of intuition that’s bang on. If it feels right, go for it, even if it doesn’t make much sense. For some, Mars/Jupiter can present a lucky break or unforeseen helping hand. In other cases, hidden actions may expand behind the scenes and end up dominating everything. Either way, finances and self-esteem will be supported, so this should be good for you. However, use caution if you have the sudden urge to make a big purchase, or an extravagant gesture – your true motivations may not be totally clear. If you can afford it, great. But if you can’t, the expense may be bigger than anticipated. 

Capricorn

The Full Moon in your partnership sector can trigger a relationship turning point. A step forward, ending or new chapter will be focused on what the other person needs (and perhaps fuelled by the actions of friends or public reactions). However, the Sun, Black Moon Lilith and Venus in your sign are a reminder that you’re a crucial part of the equation. And, you may actually have the final say. There may be some tension as you attempt to integrate a traditional role with a less accepted/more rebellious side of yourself. In some cases, there may be projected needs and mother issues, with one partner playing the parent. Stay true to yourself and be aware of a tendency to act out roles from the past. 

Uranus direct in your domestic sector can amplify changes at home/with family, or bring you closer to a conclusion in these areas. As you pull away from the past and set new traditions in motion, Mars square the Nodes will be connected. Public actions or the reactions of others will have to be balanced against your efforts to remain independent versus the need to share with someone else, or achieve a deeper level of trust. This could refer back to events of December 24th, 2017.

Mars/Jupiter can be a deciding factor in the above, as you’re urged to jump into something new, expand your social contacts or make a bold public statement. Issues with friends/groups can accelerate, and should be positive for the most part – you’ll feel encouraged and supported by others, and any risks should be worth taking. Excellent for publicity, meeting new people and exploring. However, Mars/Jupiter can inflame all existing potentials (positive and negative), so if you have doubts about someone, or about a certain activity, listen to your gut and play it safe.  

Aquarius

The Full Moon in your sector of routine hi-lights work and/or health issues. A result in these areas will involve background dynamics around what’s accepted versus what challenges the rules. Watch for hidden agendas or unspoken gender dynamics. Your efforts at work can net positive results and your future ambitions should line up nicely with current actions. Note that feelings and needs (the need for satisfying work, the need to feel safe) will be more noticeable than logic and routine, although the rules (what you should do) will still be important players. 

Uranus direct in your communication sector can urge you to speak out once again, or pursue a new/unusual line of reasoning. If you’ve pulled back on this lately, Uranus direct will push you to move forward. Issues with siblings can also feature sudden changes/revelations. All this may be connected to Mars square the Nodes (including the South Node in your sign) – watch for a choice about professional goals, actions or attempts to exercise authority. It may be time to decide between looking out for yourself versus balancing your efforts with someone else’s preferences. This could refer back to events of December 24th, 2017.

Mars/Jupiter brings the above to a culmination, with an exciting opportunity involving a new job, new career path or chance to impress someone in management. This aspect can fire your ambition and confidence in the future, while urging you to step up and take control of where you’re going. If you’ve been feeling lost, depressed or uncertain about what lies ahead, this energy can reinvigorate your desire to take the reins. 

Pisces

The Full Moon in your sector of self-expression can bring issues around a new attraction, children/pregnancy or creative work to a peak. This will be an intensely emotional moment involving your need to be loved, appreciated or accepted for who you are. The trine to Neptune in your sign is encouraging for manifesting a dream, ideal or confirming that you’re on the right track. However, there may be some tension with judgments from others, or public exposure that’s more intense than you bargained for. 

Uranus direct in your sector of personal resources can trigger more changes to earned money, values or what your self-esteem/security is based on. If you’ve been pushing for changes in these areas and they’ve been delayed, Uranus direct can trigger an acceleration. If you’ve been avoiding necessary overhauls, you may find that invalid sources of security are shaken, forcing you to embrace something new. Mars square the Nodes will add more fuel, with actions involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing – it’s time to decide if you’re going to make it real or continue to ponder what might be. This will be reality check of sorts, as you’re compelled to bring big ideals/wishes down to earth and integrate them into your life. This could refer back to events of December 24th, 2017.

However, the above reality check can actually bring you more, as Mars/Jupiter urge you to go big, step into the unknown or activate your beliefs/ideals. This isn’t about settling for less, it’s about fighting for what you believe in, or moving towards a dream. Watch for encouragement from others or a boost to your public image.

Overview

On December 24th, Jupiter in Scorpio squares the North Node in Leo and the South Node in Aquarius. Jupiter represents an issue that needs to be dealt with before the way forward (the North Node) is realized. In this case, extreme abundance or a deep revelation may be the sticking point. There will be questions about deep truths, faith in dark times or the exposure of corruption. Sometimes Jupiter can push you too far or bring more than you can handle. Moving from the edge (Aquarius) to the centre (Leo) could be a challenge, as you navigate what Jupiter pulls up from Scorpio’s depths. 

On Christmas Day, Venus enters Capricorn and conjoins Saturn. Relationships, money, self-esteem and values will be defined and formalized. This can make you feel secure or controlled, depending on how Saturn is impacting your chart. The value of something will be crystallized, and you’ll have no doubt about what he/she or what you love is worth. In all cases, Venus/Saturn demands a commitment to someone else or the reality of what you want.

While this is not the most exuberant aspect for Christmas Day, Saturn’s limits can be reassuring; you’ll know exactly where you stand. The conjunction is a new beginning, and this one takes place at 0 degrees. So this is really brand new rules for Venus themes – a chance to carve out more desirable structures. Even if old traditions are involved, the conjunction implies a new chapter. 

On December 28th, Mars in Scorpio trines Neptune in Pisces, enabling fluid, instinctive actions. Certain steps will feel natural and unavoidable, as Neptune encourages Mars to submerge even further into Scorpio’s depths. While this is a harmonious aspect, it can also encourage obsession and addiction. Make sure you’re moving towards something healthy – higher manifestations of Mars/Neptune include deep compassion or intimate healing.

On December 29th, Mercury in Sagittarius completes the last of three trines to the Leo North Node. Here is the culmination of an encouraging idea/conversation that first emerged around November 19th. Due to Mercury’s Rx, this has been a repeat aspect –  the details needed to be worked out. Now you can plug that vision into the future and see it light up. 

Aries

Jupiter in your sector of shared resources squares the Nodes, triggering issues around trust, intimacy and what you share or owe. If you want the big romance or creative recognition, you’ll have to recognize that someone else will influence the financial or emotional outcome. This may seem obvious, but sometimes you can forget this in your push to get what you want. Watch for the tendency to overspend, overshare or overwhelm. Too, you may be struggling with some heavy reveals or big secrets. Mars trine Neptune can make you forget about restraint, or it can open up deep wells of intimacy and healing. 

Venus into your career sector, and Venus/Saturn, will define a professional relationship, your professional image or a desired career goal. This can be a peak moment of success, as what you want becomes real. Or, it may be a reality check about what you have to do to get what you want. In all cases, professional standards, restraint and stainless ethics will work in your favour. 

Mercury and the North Node present your last shot at an opportunity that first came to light around November 19th. Education, travel, legal matters, publishing or exploration have offered up ideas/information that urged you to have faith in the future. Now that you’ve dealt with Mercury Rx’s delays and questions, you should be able to capitalize on this and run with what you know. 

Taurus

Jupiter in your partnership sector squares the Nodes, suggesting a relationship may be leaping ahead and intensifying. Future goals, relocating or moving in together may feel like too much of a good thing, as you attempt to balance enthusiasm with caution. At the same time, a question of faith about your joint future may give you pause. Mars trine Neptune can make it easier to work together, as your partner’s actions blend with your bigger ideals or social circle. 

Venus into your sector of opportunities, and Venus/Saturn, can clarify a future goal involving education, a professional designation, travel, legal matters, publishing or exploration. What you want is still ahead of you, but there will be no question about what you have to do or commit to make it happen. The path from here to there is clear – you just need to be prepared for a long journey. 

Mercury and the North Node can present good news or positive solutions around intimacy, domestic finances or family issues. These topics may have been under discussion since November 19th, but now you know what you need to know about your available resources. Too, there could be a quiet breakthrough as your review of conversations from the past nets you profound insight, and a readiness to move forward. 

Gemini

Jupiter in your sector of routine squares the Nodes, presenting a fix, improvement or solution (in the areas of work or health) that needs to be articulated. But first, you’ll have to deal with certain imbalances – too much work, too much leisure or overdoing it in an effort to make things better. Too, there may be a struggle to precisely explain a work/health issue. Mars /Neptune can offer assistance as your efforts harmonize with future ideals, or someone in authority. Allow improvements to happen naturally- you shouldn’t have to struggle with this. 

Venus into your sector of shared resources, and Venus/Saturn, can define an issue involving debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or intimacy. What you must have, what you owe, or what someone else can give you will be clarified. Boundaries and mutual responsibility for money or intimacy may be issues. 

Mercury and the North Node suggest progress around a relationship topic that’s been an issue since November 19th. The discussion has been ongoing, but there’s been some delays or back-and-forth as one or both of you adjust your ideas for the future. Now, you both may be on the same page as one partner’s ideas supports the other’s vision. 

Cancer

Jupiter in your sector of self-expression squares the Nodes, presenting issues of abundance, achievement, indulgence or desire that can easily tip the scales and distract you from your goal – self-sufficiency. There may be something you’re trying to create/achieve, or perhaps you’re just ready to cut loose for the holiday season. It may be tempting to lose yourself in someone else. Enjoy what’s in front of you, but don’t allow this to undermine your savings, independence or security. Mars/Neptune can make it difficult to stop, as certain actions/attractions seem endless and easy. There’s creative potential here, but also the potential to slide off the path. 

Venus into your partnership sector, and Venus/Saturn, can counteract some the above with a reminder of relationship necessities. A key commitment, mutual responsibility or definition of who you are (as a partner) will be unavoidable. 

Mercury and the North Node finally offer a solution or news about work/health that’s been on your radar since November 19th. Corrections, fixes and prioritizing can fall into place while supporting your sense of security (and there may be a financial bonus as well). This is about working smarter and looking after yourself, while incorporating new information into your existing routine. 

Leo

Jupiter in your domestic sector squares the Nodes, including the North Node in your sign. You’re dealing with an issue of growth or expansion around home, family, a domestic partnership or the past. There’s something big emerging (maybe something from the deep past), and how you tackle it will be the key to how you move forward. Consider where your priorities lie, and what “moving forward” means to you. Jupiter can overwhelm and distract with too much/too soon. Or, it can bring blessings and abundance. And sometimes those blessings may feel like too much, if you’re not properly integrating them into your life. Mars/Neptune bodes well for home finances or intimacy, and some changes at home can proceed more smoothly than anticipated. Just watch your spending. 

Venus into your sector of routine, and Venus/Saturn, will define a health or work issue that demands your attention. There’s excellent potential here for improvement, but you’ll have to get real about what needs to be organized, and how much work you have to apply in order to get what you want. Good for diet/exercise/health regimes. 

Mercury’s trine to the North Node in your sign can finally bring an answer or opportunity that’s been in the works since November 19th. Here’s your chance to speak out, promote yourself, go public or make your feelings known. Open self-expression, romantic or creative discussions are favoured. 

Virgo

Jupiter in your communication sector squares the Nodes, hi-lighting a conversation, reveal or promise. There may be a big issue where you feel you’re justified, or where someone is promising the world. The truth may be coming out, but what’s exposed may be heavier than anticipated. Too, you could be urged to open your mind to something that takes you beyond your usual routines. In order to take that leap from the mundane to what transcends the ordinary, you’ll have to look very carefully at what you’re hearing or saying. Are any details being overlooked? Is it too good to be true or too much to handle? With your natural talent for analysis and discrepancy, you should be able to make the smart choice. Mars/Neptune encourages open communication, especially with a partner. All one-on-one exchanges will benefit from passionate or compassionate words that flow easily. 

Venus into your sector of self-expression, and Venus/Saturn, may be your first clue about what Saturn wants you to get serious about. A desired outcome involving a new attraction, creative work, children/pregnancy or increased self-confidence is being defined, and in some cases, this may feel more like limits. But you’re no stranger to hard work, and you understand that anything worth having takes effort. 

Mercury’s trine to the North Node suggests progress around a domestic/family conversation that first began on November 19th. Over the past few weeks, there’s been delays, backtracking and second thoughts. And, more discussion. Now there’s potential for a dream to be realized, or an ultimate goal to take shape, as the past flows smoothly into the future. In some cases, the reveal of a secret can have positive consequences. 

Libra

Jupiter in your sector of personal resources squares the Nodes, making money, self-esteem or values an issue. There may be an opportunity to earn more, spend more or get more of what you need. But how does this factor into your connections with others (friends, groups)? While this hits you in a very personal way, it’s not actually all about you, and your public image/friendships may be impacted. Pay attention to overspending or expectations about what you’re entitled to. In some cases, an opportunity to earn more or enhance your security will have to measured carefully against how you handle this abundance. Mars/Neptune offers a fortunate blend of strategy and intuition, as your pursuit of what you need is in line with what needs to happen. There could be a financial bonus for a job well done, or perfectly timed efforts. 

Venus into your domestic sector, and Venus/Saturn, hi-light a domestic task, relationship or responsibility. You may be starting renovations/home improvements, or looking to formalize a domestic relationship. This is about bringing something good into your home, and making it real. In some cases, this may be sharply defined by family tradition. 

Mercury and the North Node encourage you to speak out, reach out or make your words public. Since November 19th, there have been efforts to promote, discuss with friends or network. Now, after various delays or mixed messages, you can make the most of this opportunity to harmonize your thoughts with the group.  

Scorpio

Jupiter in your sign squares the Nodes, presenting you with an opportunity to grow, explore or get more. But is it really what you want? Are you going to use this in the wisest way? There’s a chance for career advancement (maybe a heightened profile or juicy new job) but something’s causing friction. Meanwhile, Mars in your sign trines Neptune, gracing you with perfectly timed actions and charisma. By following the path of least resistance, you can achieve something that you’ve been desiring. Just make sure that your actions are all aboveboard. In certain cases, the temptation to dive into something addictive will be strong. 

Venus into your communication sector, and Venus/Saturn, suggest a piece of good news or a verbal/written commitment that you can trust. If you’re communicating essential ideas, you stand a good chance of impressing others with a winning mix of appealing words backed up by solid proof. However, in some cases this could place limits around what you want. In that case, this is the time to cooperate with reality while focusing on the desired outcome. 

Mercury and the North Node suggest a financial and/or career opportunity that’s been developing since November 19th. Salary discussions, a new job or ideas about where you want to take your business/professional image can now progress, as you receive answers and support for optimistic ideas. If you’ve been hesitating to ask again, this aspect suggests that the third time’s a charm. 

Sagittarius

Jupiter in your hidden sector squares the Nodes, suggesting that a background issue (a secret or hidden matter of faith) will be a sticking point. Even though it’s out of sight, it may dominate things to the point where you have to decide if you’re going to talk about it and take it further. There may be questions about going public, pushing past certain limits into the unknown or finding proof for something you believe in. If travel is emphasized, keep an eye on unforeseen issues that can quickly expand and take over. Mars/Neptune can increase the flow of intuition, instinctive action or healing family connections. 

Venus into your sector of personal resources, and Venus/Saturn, will define or limit what you have to spend, earn or attain. There will be zero confusion about where things are at regarding finances and emotional security – while this influence doesn’t suggest abundance, it can confirm what you have and how to get the most value out of it. Self-esteem will increase with firm boundaries and your commitment to a realistic approach to what you want. 

Mercury in your sign trines the North Node, brining you to a high point regarding a plan  or discussion that’s been in the works since November 19th. Travel, education, legal matters or publishing are favoured, as your hopes and ideals come to fruition. While there have been delays and multiple attempts to get things rolling, now is your time to see progress. In general, this influence hooks you into a more optimistic vision of the future that is probably quite accurate. Even if you don’t have the details worked out, your sense that you’re on the right track is correct. Go where the potential lies. 

Capricorn

Jupiter in your social sector squares the Nodes, indicating that an issue with friends, groups or your connection to the public can feel pushy or overwhelming. Big events, an enhanced public profile, a public reveal or exuberant energy around a friendship can see you questioning how much you should spend, give or share. You may be uncomfortable with pressure to merge your resources with another, or open up. Know that your path forward involves careful selection about who you’re aligning yourself with, but at the same time, you need to secure some allies. This is not the time to go it alone. Mars/Neptune can help with smooth group discussions/ideas that propel events forwards.

Venus into your sign, and Venus/Saturn, will identify a key relationship, financial or self-esteem issue. It may be time to confirm what you want, or build on what you have.  Your values can be firmly and publicly expressed, with uncompromising boundaries in place. Too, there can be a happy commitment or confirmation that brings added responsibilities. 

Mercury/North Node can confirm a gut feeling, secret or hidden potential that’s been developing in the background since November 19th. Intimacy, shared finances or deep psychological work are favoured, as you’re given clarity that transcends all logic. When you know, you know. 

Aquarius

Jupiter in your sector of career and future goals squares the Nodes, including the South Node in your sign. An opportunity to grow, expand, climb the ladder or map out more of your future is in front of you. However, in order to take advantage of this, you’ll need to acknowledge that you’re not in this alone. Your alliance with a key person is a crucial part of your forward movement. Too, faith in your future with someone else may be at stake. Mars/Neptune suggests there are also opportunities for financial success and the furthering of your ambitions, although these things may not manifest in traditional ways. Know that the actions you to take to meet your future should flow effortlessly, once you let go of rigid expectations and the need to control. 

Venus into your hidden sector, and Venus/Saturn, can define a background desire or potential. You may become aware of limits around what you want – watch for an instinctive sense of what needs to be clarified. Too, this influence can help you manifest something that previously seemed impossible or illusory, but there may be an ending or sacrifice mixed in. 

Mercury/North Node can confirm a partnership, close friendship or any one-on-one contact. What’s even developing since November 19th can now move forward, as plans are confirmed and relationships strengthened. Others (friends, lovers, allies) continue to be your best source of support. 

Pisces

Jupiter in your opportunities sector squares the Nodes, suggesting developments with education, travel, legal matters or publishing may be key. An area of faith or hope is up for questioning, as you decide whether you’re going to step out and make something real  or continue to dwell in the realm of unmet potential. It’s time to see how the big picture/big dream works in your daily life. Too, if something corrupt is exposed, you may need to factor that into your daily work or health routines. Mars trine Neptune in your sign gives you added fuel, as your actions harmonize with your dreams. All you have to do is take one step forward and the rest should fall into place. 

Venus into your social sector, and Venus/Saturn, can define the parameters around a friendship, group association or social relationship. Too, your public image may be formalized. While some of these parameters might feel a bit restrictive, know that certain boundaries and formalities are essential. 

Mercury/North Node can confirm a career opportunity that’s been developing since November 19th. Discussions with management, a job interview or information about a business issue can now fall into place. This will feed into your efforts to prioritize, improve and put energy into your daily routine. The mundane tasks that make up your bigger goals will be an essential part of your progress.

Overview

The December 17th/18th (depending on time zone) Sagittarius New Moon conjoins Saturn, so these new beginnings will be defined or official. However, the issues themselves are not new, as the Moon will square Chiron in Pisces, triggering wounds that have been emphasized since November 24th. Fortunately, this Moon also trines Uranus and Pallas in Aries, so you’ll have access to bold or unusual strategies. You can try a different approach, and progress (or answers) should be available as of December 22nd, when Mercury in Sagittarius stations direct. 

On December 19th, Saturn exits Sagittarius for Capricorn. For the next two and half to three years (Saturn will exit and reenter Capricorn due to its Rx motion) the planet of rules, responsibilities, authority and limits will be at full strength in the sign it rules. This will be a transit that manifests what you work for, and defines where you need to take responsibility. The December 21st Sun/Saturn conjunction marks the Winter Solstice, bringing you to a quiet moment (the shortest day) where you can contemplate the tasks ahead of you. 

Aries

The New Moon in your opportunities sector defines a new approach to a plan/goal involving travel, education, legal matters, beliefs or publishing. You may be attempting to make something official, or maybe you’re wrestling with frustrating rules/laws. While your approach will be new, this issue is not – this will take you back to a painful secret/background vulnerability that first came to light around November 24th.  Aspects to Uranus/Pallas in your sign give you the courage to tackle this issue. Your bold strategy will be crucial for progress, which you may see around December 22nd (when Mercury stations direct).  

Saturn into your career sector, hi-lighted by the Winter Solstice, can bring you to a turning point regarding future goals, your definition of success and your professional image. It’s time to take a serious look at your current status, and if it reflects who you really are. If you’ve been happy and productive in your career, this can be a time of rewards/increased authority, as you manifest what you’ve worked for. But if you’ve been unhappy, this can be the time of endings, as you focus on a different job or entirely new career path. 

Taurus

The New Moon in your sector of shared resources presents a new chapter regarding debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or intimacy. While you’ll still be churning through the same, uncomfortable issues that began around November 24th, there may be an extra shot of inspiration on how to handle this. Watch for an unusual and unproven approach that just might work. You should get some answers, deeper insights or a bit more traction (on matters that have been out of your control) once Mercury stations direct on December 22nd. 

Saturn into your sector of opportunities, hi-lighted by the Winter Solstice, can bring some welcome relief as it exits your sector of shared resources. Restrictions around money or intimacy can ease up as you start planning for a bigger future. Relocation, continuing your education, achieving an official designation (doctor, lawyer, etc) pursuing legal results, getting something published – these are all possible manifestations of this transit. It may be time to get serious about something you’ve been hoping for, but haven’t worked towards. 

Gemini

The New Moon in your partnership sector brings fresh developments regarding a relationship goal, commitment or future plan. Sensitive issues involving success, career and authority (that first came to light around November 24th) will still be triggered, but you can look outside the relationship for ideas on how to move forward. Friends or a group association can provide some bright ideas, and you and your partner may come to an agreement regarding your next step on December 22nd, when Mercury stations direct.

Saturn into your sector of shared resources, hi-lighted by the Winter Solstice, can mark another relationship turning point. As Saturn exits your partnership sector and we enter the darkest time of the year, there may be an ending, or a period of dormancy in your love life. Much depends on how you’ve handled Saturn’s relationship responsibilities and restrictions over the past two and a half years. Now, Saturn will urge you to get serious about debts, taxes, loans, your partners finances or intimacy. There can be restrictions in these areas, with boundaries (yours or theirs) as an issue. There can be increased pressure to pay something off, or deal with someone else’s problems. Too, this transit can turn your focus to deeper matters – what you fear, what you can’t control, what you’ve been avoiding. 

Cancer

The New Moon in your sector of routine suggests a new approach to work, health or service to others. This could be about a necessary diet or exercise overhaul. Or, it may be time to get organized and wrap up certain obligations. The issues you’re dealing with may have been frustrating you since November 24th, as you’ve been trying to improve, upgrade or heal. This time, you can find more support and inspiration from someone in authority. Or, your innovative plan for the future can be put into action. Too, you may be waiting on some medical information, work news or a referral. Watch for progress and/or the information you’ve been waiting for to arrive around December 22nd, when Mercury stations direct. 

Saturn into your partnership sector, hi-lighted by the Winter Solstice, can take some of the pressure off work/health issues. Now you’ll be looking at a specific relationship- the mutual commitment and future goals. Saturn can help you define each partner’s responsibilities, and emphasize areas where one or both people are not carrying their weight. Saturn can also define areas of pressure and unhappiness, and whether the relationship has room for improvement, or an ending is approaching. In general, Saturn will urge you to look closely at the self-sufficiency and authority you bring to your relationships – are you being an adult, or relying on someone else to take care of you? In some cases, Saturn can bring a new relationship with heavy responsibilities.

Leo

The New Moon in your sector of self-expression can remind you of insecurities, or where you’re not feeling good enough. There may be something precious that you’ve been working towards, with struggles and delays that have been evident since November 24th. But now you’ve got a shot of hope or inspiration from an unlikely source. Watch for a chance to try out a new strategy, or (finally) take that leap into the unknown. Travel, education, legal matters, publishing or exploration are areas where you can find favour. Watch for a breakthrough or answer around December 22nd, when Mercury stations direct. 

Saturn’s exit from your sector of self-expression, hi-lighted by the Winter Solstice, can release blocks around a new attraction, creative work, self-confidence or issues involving children/pregnancy. You might have achieved what you’ve been working so hard for, but even if you didn’t get what you wanted, that particular struggle is over. Now, Saturn into your sector of routine turns your attention to mundane essentials – health, daily work and obligations to others. Workload can increase and it will become increasingly important to pay attention to diet, exercise and medical issues. This transit is about getting your daily life in order. 

Virgo

The New Moon in your domestic sector can bring fresh insight to an ongoing issue. You’re still dealing with wounds and sensitivities (which began around November 24th) involving a domestic partnership, your domestic responsibilities, home finances, a home business or family problems. But now you should be able to access deeper sources of intuition or inspiration, which will enable you to put a strategic plan into action. Your commitment to changing the landscape of your joint finances or intimacy will be key – it’s time to shake things up. However, you may not see progress until December 22nd, when Mercury stations direct. 

Saturn’s exit from you domestic sector, hi-lighted by the Winter Solstice, can spell the end of some of those domestic responsibilities. Too, there could be a significant change in the status of a domestic partnership or a family member. As Saturn enters your sector of self-expression, you’ll start to look up and out, as you concentrate on manifesting success, attention or  creative work outside the home. Saturn wants you to get serious about getting what you want, and being proud of your accomplishments. 

Libra

The New Moon in your communication sector can deliver an answer, final conversation or decision regarding a difficult work or health situation that’s been festering since November 24th. The issue will be defined, as well as what you can and cannot fix. A partner can offer a way forward, or can inspire you to try a different approach. However, you may not be able to do anything with this new information until December 22nd, when Mercury stations direct. In the meantime, use delays to finalize you plans and take note of any remaining information that’s revealed. 

Saturn’s move into your domestic sector, hi-lighted by the Winter Solstice, turns your attention to home and family. This transit will be about taking on additional responsibilities at home, or rebuilding your foundation. The structure of your home, home business or domestic relationship will change, as you say goodbye to certain situations that are winding down, or formalize other domestic situations that are ready to be made permanent. In some cases, this transit can bring you back to your childhood, as you relocate to be closer to family or parents. 

Scorpio

The New Moon in your sector of personal resources will trigger some insecurities (financial or emotional) that first came to light around November 24th. There could be an undeniable limit or obstacle that you’re still dealing with, and you’ll need to apply focus and determination. But now, you’ll have some practical solutions/strategies that you can apply. This will involve a somewhat radical change to the way you’ve approached daily routines, work or health. Watch for December 22nd (when Mercury stations direct) for an all-systems-go sign.

Saturn’s exit from your security sector, hi-lighted by the Winter Solstice, should free things up, as financial and emotional restrictions lift. There may not be an influx of money, but you should feel that the pressure and extra work from the past couple of years has lifted. Saturn’s move into your communication sector will urge you to focus on certain information, make something official or speak/write with care and concentration. This transit will be about making you words and thoughts real. 

Sagittarius

The New Moon in your sign can hi-light a new approach to limits and responsibilities in your life. A final task (before Saturn exits your sign) may be defined, and you’ll still be dealing with painful issues from the past/involving family, which were first triggered around November 24th. But you should experience an extra surge of confidence and creativity, which will enable you to tackle this, one last time. It may be time to put that audacious plan into action. Watch for more answers, information and clarity on December 22nd, when Mercury in your sign stations direct. 

Saturn’s exit from your sign, hi-lighted by the Winter Solstice, can take the pressure off, as you’re finally released from an obligation. Depending on how you’ve handled Saturn’s agenda over the past two and a half years, you may also reap rewards for your hard work and enjoy the results of a commitment. Saturn’s entrance into your sector of personal resources turns your attention to earned money, self-esteem and emotional security. This transit will be about enhancing your security and resources through discipline, defining boundaries and self-sufficiency. The work’s not over, it’s just shifted to a different area. Use what you learned from Saturn’s transit through your sign. 

Capricorn

The New Moon in your hidden sector can trigger background reminders that there’s a bit more work to be done before you close a chapter. A final goodbye (which might be painful or awkward) can be part of this New Moon, and the issue has been activated since November 24th. But now you’ll have a more inspired approach that allows you to break away from the past (and break with tradition). You may unearth crucial information, or confirm a gut feeling, on December 22nd, when Mercury stations direct. 

Saturn into your sign, hi-lighted by the Winter Solstice, can define a new reality, commitment or limit. This transit can be about building or enhancing structures in your life, taking on more responsibility/authority or cutting out what’s no longer valid. Saturn rules your sign, so you should be somewhat comfortable with the increased pressure. You may actually relish what’s coming your way – Saturn rewards work and ambition with permanent blessings (yes, Saturn can bring blessings). And if anyone knows how to dig in and climb, it’s you. 

Aquarius

The New Moon in your social sector suggests new developments with a friend, group association or your connection to the public. Mutual boundaries and/or rules will be defined, as things progress along a narrower track. And you’ll also be revisiting financial/emotional insecurities that have been issues since November 4th. But now you’ll be ready to put a bold and unusual strategy into action – it may be time to speak up about something you’ve been pondering, even if you’re unsure that others will accept it. Watch for a go-ahead or answer around December 22nd, when Mercury stations direct. 

Saturn’s move into your hidden sector, hi-lighted by the Winter Solstice, marks the end of a major chapter in your life. Over the next (roughly) two and a half years, you’ll be pulling back, winding down and saying goodbye to something that’s outdated, unsatisfying or ready to end. You may already have a sense of what this is. Saturn in your hidden sector can also help you manifest what’s been undeveloped or hinted at – this will replace what you’re leaving behind. 

Pisces

The New Moon in your career sector signals a new chapter involving future goals, your approach to success or your relationship with those in authority. You may be wrapping up work responsibilities, and the square to Chiron in your sign will trigger insecurities and doubts about achievement that you’ve been dealing with since November 24th. But now you have access to a fresh approach, or possibly new sources of income. Mercury stations direct on December 22nd, and you may receive an answer about a job offer or decision from management. 

Saturn’s move from your career sector into your social sector (hi-lighted by the Winter Solstice) can take some of the pressure off, regarding career and workload. You may find it easier to visualize your future and deal with certain job responsibilities. If there’s an ending or change of track in your career, know that this is the right time. Saturn in your social sector will define the friends and associates that you can count on. Some friendships may end, while others will deepen and solidify. In general, this transit is about defining your relationships with the public/the group.

Overview

December 12th brings an inferior conjunction between Mercury Rx and the Sagittarius Sun. This is the midpoint of Mercury’s retrograde, which suggests that delays/questions/reviews will uncover something useful. And the Sun will illuminate it in a moment of clarity. 

Venus in Sagittarius trines the Leo North Node on December 14th, Mercury Rx conjoins Venus on December 15th and trines the North Node on December 16th. What the Sun illuminates can be quite positive – a desirable piece of news that turns your eyes to a hopeful future. Even though Mercury will not station direct until December 22nd, you can start laying out a rough draft for future plans (just leave some room for additional adjustments). 

Note that Mercury previously trined the North Node on November 19th, so you could be revisiting a potential (a hopeful idea that referenced the future) from that day. 

December 15th/16th also sees the Sun reigniting a square to Chiron in Pisces and a trine to Uranus Rx in Aries. You’ve felt this before, as Mercury direct and Rx pinged these aspects on November 24th/25th and December 10th. You’ll be reminded of a bruise or weakness (again) but the hopeful developments with Mercury Rx, the North Node and Venus say that now you have additional insight (and maybe some good news) to back you up. 

Wondering what 2018 has in store for you? I’m currently booking into March, so if you want a reading that’s still early(ish) in the year, consider ordering a consult. 

Aries

Aspects to the the Sun, Venus and Mercury Rx in your opportunities sector (including the trine to Uranus Rx in your sign) can spotlight an issue involving travel, education, legal matters, beliefs or publishing. One or more of these areas is up for review, and a specific message or document may be hi-lighted. A favourable opportunity or intriguing individual (long-distance romance) may be part of the story. There’s room for creative and romantic growth here – don’t hesitate to make your thoughts known, even if the results are not immediately forthcoming. 

You’ll still be dealing with the activation of hidden wounds/insecurities from the last three weeks. But by now, your sense of future potentials should give you enough confidence to keep moving forward. 

Taurus

Aspects to the Sun, Venus and Mercury Rx in your sector of shared resources emphasizes a key conversation or piece of information involving debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or intimacy. A specific issue or uncomfortable discussion will be revisited, but now you’ll have added insight as something deeper is uncovered. This can also apply to psychological exploration. As you sort through the buried information, you should also gain access to financial or emotional benefits – more intimacy, more sharing or perhaps some financial assistance. Domestic finances and family matters can benefit. 

Public embarrassments or feeling “less than” when you compare yourself to others may still be an issue, as they have been for the past three weeks. But take note of your growing pool of insight, inner strength and private support – these are things that outsiders can’t touch or fully understand.    

Gemini

Aspects to the Sun, Venus and Mercury Rx in your partnership sector spotlight the return to a previous relationship conversation or agreement. Or, there could be a reconnection with a past partner. The purpose will be to see how relationship beliefs and promises are holding up. Even as you return to something from the past, you should see future possibilities opening up along with a sense that you are both moving towards the same, desirable objective. These aspects favour all one-on-one contacts/discussions (not just romantic) that you’d like to expand into something more. Watch for a “fated” connection or timely conversation that reignites feelings of hope. If you’re trying to promote yourself or make your ideas public, a partnership is your best avenue for this. 

Having said this, you’ll still be experiencing sensitivities and disappointments (from the past three weeks) related to career, a job search or someone in authority. But a business or romantic partner has your back – you can turn to someone close to you for support and fresh ideas.  

Cancer

Aspects to the Sun, Venus and Mercury Rx in your sector of routine will revisit a key task, diagnosis or health issue. You’ll be going over the details and refining your routines/solutions, and you should find extra assistance. The closer you look, the more favourable solutions will be revealed. Concentrating on self-improvement, obligations and corrections can directly  benefit your financial and emotional security. Watch for new possibilities to open at work, as you’re recognized for your unique approach. 

However, doubts or sore spots involving travel, education, legal matters, beliefs or publishing will still be triggered, as they have been over the past three weeks. You may still find it difficult to maintain faith, or reach beyond your current situation. The key is concentrating on your immediate environment – health and routines is where it’s at now. Get these things in order, and you’ll be prepared to handle the big picture. 

Leo

Aspects to the Sun, Venus and Mercury Rx in your sector of self-expression take you back to an area of focus around artistic work, children/pregnancy or a new attraction. But this time, there’s extra clarity and a possible breakthrough-  aspects to the North Node in your sign suggest there’s plenty of room for progress. Even if you’re not getting exactly what you want right now, or you’re struggling to make yourself heard, know that your continued dedication will pave the way forward. Someone from the past could reappear and offer an alternative to what you’re striving for. Or, they could offer you encouragement to keep going. 

Wounds or uncomfortable issues involving debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or intimacy will continue to be triggered, as they have been for the past three weeks. This can be particularly frustrating, as you won’t have full control over what’s happening. Nonetheless, you’re being urged to make the most of what you have – your charisma, talent and ability to shine. It’s still all about you, even though you have to apply some extra patience. 

Virgo

Aspects to the Sun, Venus and Mercury Rx in your domestic sector will draw your attention (once again) to a home responsibility, relocation, family discussion or issue with parents. More details can be revealed – there may be more to the traditional narrative. Watch for an increase in love, understanding and positive energy, as well as a hard-to-define but accurate feeling that you’re moving in the right direction (even if things appear to be at a standstill). There can be subtle but sure progress with domestic finances and psychological blocks/habits from the past. 

Touchy issues with a partner from the past three weeks will still be active, but you’re in the process of working through those issues by addressing recurring themes. Don’t be afraid to confront what’s taboo or private – now’s the time to shed light on these topics. 

Libra

Aspects to the Sun, Venus and Mercury Rx in your communication sector will hi-light a conversation or understanding from the past. You’ll be looking at previous information with fresh eyes, and could discover something favourable that helps you connect with others or make your message public. Too, there could be a flirtatious contact with someone from the past, or a second chance to impress someone. 

Over the past three weeks you may have encountered stressful information or realizations related to work or health. Those difficulties will continue to be activated as your attention is drawn to what’s wrong, missing or in need of correction. However, you’ve got positive energy with others on your side. Friends, groups or one-on-one connections can give you the support and solutions to help you through. Don’t hesitate to reach out – you don’t have to go through this alone. 

Scorpio

Aspects to the Sun, Venus and Mercury Rx in your sector of personal resources can clarify an ongoing issue around earned money, security or self-esteem. More facts will be illuminated, as well as some positive news regarding a job, your career path or your relationship to someone in authority. It may be time to take a second look at a source of income, or ask (one more time) about a raise or job opportunity. If you have to repeat a request (involving baseline emotional needs or boundaries) you could receive a positive response this time. 

Doubts and insecurities from the past three weeks will still be factors, as you’re challenged to deal with blows to your ego or worries about finances. Your best bet is to keep the discussion open, and keep looking/asking questions about a future opportunity. There’s more to be revealed. 

Sagittarius

Aspects to the Sun, Venus and Mercury Rx in your sign can clarify an issue you’ve been discussing/questioning, or bring you back to a previous conversation. Going back over the facts and taking a second look at beliefs/promises can deliver added insight, while adjusting your view of the future. Too, there could be a contact with a close friend or romantic interest from the past, or a second chance at a romantic connection. In general, second chances and second looks will bring added benefits. Travel, education, legal matters and publishing are areas that merit continued exploration.

Wounds and sensitive issues involving family, parents or your domestic situation will still be active, as they have been over the past three weeks. But with all the action in your sign, you’ve got more than enough resources to deal with this. Your ability to find a silver lining in any situation will come in handy now. Know that you do have much to look forward to (including Saturn leaving your sign on December 19th).

Capricorn

Aspects to the Sun, Venus and Mercury Rx in your hidden sector can cast a light on something that’s been secret or in your blind spot. Returning to previous issue, or looking more closely at what’s obscured, can uncover a sweet realization and some unexpected blessings. Too, you may discover additional solutions that help you progress in the areas of shared finances or intimacy. If you’re trying to get closer to someone, this could be about allowing them access to something very private. 

A difficult conversation or understanding will still be a sore spot, as it has been for the past three weeks. It may seem as if the more you reveal/examine, the more your discomfort increases. The topic isn’t going to vanish, so you might as well do the work behind the scenes. Know that you have additional resources and support to get you through, even if this consists of a unproven but persistent feeling that you’re on the right track. 

Aquarius

Aspects to the Sun, Venus and Mercury Rx in your social sector can illuminate something hopeful regarding friends, groups or your connection to the public. You could reconnect with someone from the past, which will remind you why you were friends to begin with. Or, a romantic attraction could be reestablished. Too, a second look can confirm someone’s support for you, or hi-light an opportunity to promote/speak out. The connections you make now, and the conversations you have, will encourage you to trust by clarifying the dynamics of your one-on-one relationships. 

However, financial/emotional insecurities from the past three weeks will still be in evidence. There may be a key area where you feel helpless and at the mercy of others. Know that all relationships (romantic, friendship, social and business) are favoured, and you can progress towards a more balanced, trusting interaction with others. You’re not in this alone. 

Pisces

Aspects to the Sun, Venus and Mercury Rx in your career sector will deliver additional information about a job prospect, your position at work or your professional image. You could revisit a discussion with management, or hear about a previous job opportunity. This looks favourable, as you connect with those who can help you get ahead while supporting the progression of your daily work and efforts to improve. Career and finances in general will benefit from second chances or asking additional questions. If there’s a delay, it could reveal a silver lining. 

However, the Sun’s square to Chiron in your sign will ping an insecurity or weakness that you’ve been dealing with over the past three weeks. Worries about success or the ability to handle more responsibility will continue to be bothersome, but know that you’ve got a pile of energy in your career sector to help you work through this. Mercury Rx is working to direct your attention to beneficial relationships and facts.

Overview

Chiron in Pisces stations direct on December 5th, which suggests some welcome progress in the areas of wounds and vulnerabilities. Note that “progress” does not mean the issue will disappear, but you will be able to move forward. This will be noticeable on December 10th, when Mercury Rx in Sagittarius repeats its square to Chiron/trine to Uranus Rx, from November 24th and 25th. This will be the same painful conversation/information, but now you can make headway as you talk it out or explore solutions. A square between Venus in Sagittarius and Neptune in Pisces on the same day can make it tempting to ignore your problems, and there’s a danger of wanting something that doesn’t exist. Or, wanting more than is realistically possible. Venus/Neptune can be dreamy in small doses, but seriously undermining if you chug the entire bottle.  

December 6th brings us another repeat Mercury Rx aspect – a conjunction with Saturn, first experienced on November 28th. Get ready to go back over the rules or reconsider the ending. Nothing’s carved in stone, just yet.  

Mars into Scorpio on December 9th will stoke the fires of anger, sex and initiative. All Mars themes will slow down, as energy is turned inwards and becomes very deliberate. This is a potent sign for Mars, and slow does not equal weak. Think of a buildup of energy that’s directed with passion, obsession or vengeance. 

Wondering what 2018 has in store for you? I’m currently booking into March, so if you want a reading that’s still early(ish) in the year, consider ordering a consult. 

Aries

Mercury Rx/Saturn in your opportunities sector will revisit an official document/plan (involving travel, education, legal matters, justice or publishing) from November 28th. You may be questioning the rules related to the above, or taking a closer look at a certain belief. Something that you had faith in (or that disappointed you) may be up for review. Mercury Rx’s repeat aspects to Uranus Rx (in your sign) and Chiron will take you back to  November 24th-25th, but this time, Chiron has stationed direct. Watch for progress around the hidden wound or embarrassment. Even though it will be triggered again, it should be easier to speak out and envision new possibilities. 

Mars into your sector of shared resources can stir up deep passion or anger, to the point where you don’t feel in control of your actions. Too, issues around debts, taxes, loans or you partner’s finances may challenge you, as someone else makes things happen (whether you like it or not). Rather than struggling to maintain control, try to be fully aware of what’s triggering you. Venus/Neptune increases the need for full awareness, as unconscious desires may pump up false expectations. Venus/Neptune can expand your faith and visions of the future, but caution is needed. Long-distance travel, long-distance romance, education, legal matters or publishing are areas where you’ll have to pay close attention to reality versus fantasy. 

Taurus

Mercury Rx/Saturn in your sector of shared resources will revisit an issue from November 28th. The rules around a conversation or document involving debts, taxes, loans, your partners finances or intimacy will be questioned and reviewed, and Mercury’s aspects to Uranus Rx and Chiron can reopen a public vulnerability from November 24th-25th. However, Chiron is now direct, which means private conversations or deeper insight can help you move past this issue.  

Mars into your partnership sector can stir up moments of passion, intense competition or conflict with a partner. You may not be comfortable with someone’s challenges or actions, but your full attention and dedication will be demanded. How you respond depends on how you feel about someone else calling the shots. Venus/Neptune urges caution where intimacy and finances are concerned – be careful that you’re not expecting, giving or spending more than you can afford. There may be some illusions about what others have, or the nature of a friendship/group association.  

Gemini

Mercury Rx/Saturn in your partnership sector takes you back to a relationship conversation/agreement from November 28th. It’s time for a second look at boundaries, or an ending/commitment. Someone may change their mind, or the terms of the agreement may be up for discussion. Mercury’s aspects to Uranus Rx and Chiron can re-open a wound or sore spot, involving career, success, status or a discussion with management. Issues from November 24th-25th will be examined, but now that Chiron is direct, it should be easier to see alternatives, or visualize a successful future beyond the current issue. 

Mars into your sector of routine can increase your energy, workload or determination to forge ahead with a health/self-improvement regime. This is focused energy that gains momentum slowly, as you commit to making improvements and getting the job done. Venus/Neptune may distract you with vague partnership issues – what you’re hoping for (from another person) may be disappointed. On the plus side, if you keep yourself grounded in the reality of your situation, this can be a lovely, romantic influence that does nothing more than make you feel  good in the moment. 

Cancer

Mercury Rx/Saturn in your sector of routine revisits a health or work issue from November 28th. You may once again be confronted by limits to what you can do, or an error that needs to be corrected. An obligation may need more attention, and your precise instructions or focus will be demanded. Mercury’s aspects to Uranus Rx and Chiron can hi-light a specific error or weakness which was first revealed around November 24th-25th, but Chiron’s direct movement suggests there’s progress to be made now – watch for support from someone in authority, or a new/unusual approach to future goals. Changes in your career or your approach to your future/professional status will benefit you.

Mars into your sector of self-expression can trigger deep passion/attraction, or your desire to pursue something with a no-holds-barred intensity. You may throw yourself into a creative project, or throw yourself at someone. There can be positive or negative consequences, depending on where you’re focusing your energy. Venus/Neptune can distract you from what needs to be done, or encourage you to overindulge/put something off. Too, you may get confused with multiple priorities, and end up accomplishing nothing. This is why it’s so important that Mars’ energy is directed towards something healthy and empowering, because you will find it difficult to stay focused on the important things. Don’t allow yourself to be distracted by what might be – keep reminding yourself of your immediate reality. Pay extra attention to health, especially diet. 

Leo

Mercury Rx/Saturn in your sector of self-expression takes you back to November 28th. An answer, goal or conversation involving creative work, children or a new attraction will be revisited. A “no” may not be final. Or, you may be looking more closely at the parameters around what you want, or the work that needs to be done. The struggle to openly communicate may be an ongoing process (don’t give up). Mercury’s aspects Uranus Rx and Chiron will take you back to November 24th-25, where you once again confront an embarrassment, insecurity or hidden weakness. But this time, Chiron direct means progress, and an increased ability to make the most of new/unusual solutions. 

Mars into your domestic sector can intensify family conflict, or see you digging deeper into home repairs, a home business or issues with relocation. The urge to make progress at home can become quite strong, but Venus/Neptune may throw you off track with an attraction, distraction or celebration. This aspect is ripe with temptation, and there’s nothing wrong with a bit of indulgence. But make sure the lure of something/someone larger than life doesn’t compromise your financial or emotional resources. Addiction is a risk. 

Virgo

Mercury Rx/Saturn in your domestic sector revisits a family discussion or home document from November 28th. You may be going back over the terms, rules or responsibilities, while questioning what needs to be done. An ending may not be final, yet. Mercury’s aspects to Uranus Rx and Chiron can pull you back to painful relationship discussions/memories from November 24th-25th. But this time, Chiron direct suggests some compromise and mutual empathy can ease the sting. You may both be able to find a solution if you pool your resources. 

Mars into your communication sector adds heft to your words and obsession to your ideas. A concept (or challenge) may arouse your passion, and you certainly have the energy to pursue this to the limit. Or, burn it to the ground. Be mindful of your audience. Venus/Neptune suggests some harmlessly indulgent moments with a partner. Or, there can be less pleasant issues like deceptions, disappointments or inflated expectations. Before you get excited about what someone else is offering (or what you think they’re offering) make sure you get all the facts. 

Libra

Mercury Rx/Saturn in your communication sector revisits a verbal or written line in the sand, from November 28th. The answer or official result will be questioned, and any delays will involve going back over the rules. Mercury’s aspects to Uranus Rx and Chiron refer back to November 24th-25th, as a flaw, health issue or problem with work is brought up again. However, this time Chiron is direct, so a solution or workaround (with the assistance of a partner) will be easier to implement. 

Mars into your sector of personal resources can fire up your possessiveness, ambition to earn or pursue something that you feel you must have. This transit is excellent for strengthening your resolve to look after yourself, but Venus/Neptune will confuse things, temporarily. Watch out for distracting words, beautiful promises or appealing visions – if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Keep your focus on the essentials, and stay strong. Too, you could be the one who’s offering up questionable explanations. If this is the case, know that sugar-coating an issue or offering empty praise won’t help you out.

Scorpio

Mercury Rx/Saturn in your sector of personal resources takes you back to a financial/emotional discussion or agreement from November 28th. The terms may be up for reconsideration, or, you may have second thoughts about the boundaries you put in place. Mercury’s repeat aspects to Uranus Rx and Chiron will refer back to November 24th-25th, when an insecurity or lack of essential resources was emphasized. Now that Chiron is direct, that area of sensitivity won’t disappear, but you should be able to figure out how to work around it, or even make it work for you. Discussion or brainstorming is key.

Mars into your sign can help with the above, as you’re given a shot of willpower and determination. You can move mountains with this transit, and even though Mercury is Rx (not the best time to start something brand new) Mars can certainly help you push forward with even more intensity than usual. However, Venus/Neptune may briefly throw you off track with some unwise expenditures or loss of focus. You may be spend too much or forget about you boundaries, as you attempt to distract yourself from an unpleasant situation. Although Saturn is about to leave your sector of personal resources, don’t undermine all the hard work and focus you’ve applied to finances and personal boundaries. Stay strong. 

Sagittarius

Mercury Rx/Saturn in your sign will revisit a conversation, official agreement or ending from November 28th. What was underlined and signed is still up for debate, as boundaries, requirements and details are put under the microscope. You may be the one asking the questions, or someone else may be analyzing your commitment or proof. Mercury’s repeat aspects to Uranus Rx and Chiron can reopen a sore spot from November 24th-25th, as wounds from the past are once again up for discussion. But Chiron direct means you can now move on the from the past, and your confidence to forge a better future will be key. 

Mars into your hidden sector will activate background potentials or secrets, and something hidden may become a bit of an obsession. Actions will not be completely driven by conscious intent, so use caution and (if possible) wait until you have all the facts before you go public. Venus in your sign, square Neptune, will add to the confusion and will increase the possibility of taking a detour. You may feel quite strongly that this is what you want, or that this is the best thing for everyone. Consider that you may only be seeing what you want to see. 

Capricorn

Mercury Rx/Saturn in your hidden sector indicate that a secret or background ending from November 28th will be getting a second look. You could be reviewing the process, or questioning whether this is really final. More hidden information could emerge, and Mercury’s repeat aspects to Uranus Rx and Chiron can reignite a painful conversation/realization from November 24th-25th. But this time, Chiron direct suggests you can move past the issue, even as you’re delving into background information. The quieter you are, or the deeper you look, the more healing you can access. 

Mars into your social sector can ignite conflict or challenges in a friendship, group or your relationship with the public. Your intense efforts to gain control or uncover results may trigger confrontations, and Venus/Neptune can make it difficult to see what’s really happening. Misunderstandings, hidden attractions or unspoken wants can muddy the waters. 

Aquarius

Mercury Rx/Saturn in your social sector revisits a social boundary, discussion with a friend or official public statement from November 28th. Mercury’s repeat aspects to Uranus Rx and Chiron will again raise painful topics and financial/emotional insecurities (from November 24th-25th) but Chiron’s current direct motion will allow you to see a way around these issues. Have faith that your unique perspective or search for unusual solutions will work out. 

Mars into your career sector can fire up your ambitions, or some conflict with management. You may feel an intensified urge to compete, push ahead or put your foot down about something you feel passionately about. There’s a lot of power here  – use it wisely. Venus/Neptune suggests blurred boundaries in a social relationship, or misjudged expectations about the nature of a friendship, group activity or your public image. Be conscious about what you’re projecting onto others, and what they’re projecting onto you. Are you being completely honest?

Pisces

Mercury Rx/Saturn says that it’s time for a second look at a career goal, job interview, discussion with management or issue with your professional image. Delays and revisions will take you back to November 28th, and Mercury’s aspects to Chiron in your sign, and Uranus Rx, will bring up awkward discussions or insecurities from November 24th-25th. But Chiron is now direct, so you should experience some release as you work through fears about lack of success, or your ability to handle extra responsibilities. 

Mars into your sector of opportunities can ignite your passion to fight for a cause, or can stir up activity in the areas of long-distance travel, education, legal matters or publishing. Venus in your career sector, square Neptune in your sign, can stir up some confusion regarding who’s in authority, what’s appropriate or whether a new opportunity is valid. While this aspect does offer creative potential, it’s better if you approach all career issues with a careful eye on the facts – look for the proof and maintain your professional boundaries.

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.

Overview

November 13th brings a rich conjunction between Venus and Jupiter in Scorpio. Jupiter will expand Venus’ wants, and Scorpio will ensure that those wants are profound. Issues with money, relationships and personal values can surge past existing limits, and for the most part, this should be quite positive. Jupiter brings hope, and Scorpio makes it intense. However, Mercury in Sagittarius squares Neptune Rx in Pisces on the same day, so facts will be muddled. Something good could dissolve all logic – a bit of caution is advised. 

November 16th brings a trine from Neptune to Venus and Chiron Rx in Pisces to the Scorpio Sun. These aspects will add forgiveness, compassion and release to the above scenarios. 

November 18th sees a Scorpio New Moon, which will be connected to the above developments. This new beginning will be favoured with a trine to Chiron Rx – the deeper you go/the more honest you are, the more you can strengthen yourself through acceptance of what hurts. The Moon will make a sharp inconjunct to Uranus Rx in Aries, so there will be some discomfort as events have a greater impact than expected.

The square between Mars in Libra and Pluto in Capricorn will be exact on November 19th, so that crisis between conscious action (Mars) and unconscious impulses (Pluto) will be part of the New Moon. Mars/Pluto has the potential for eruptions of buried anger, a raw push for domination or (sometimes) violence. This is an immensely powerful aspect, and when directed properly, you can achieve quite a bit. But it can also be extremely destructive. Be careful and remain fully aware of what your next step is going to be. 

Aries

Venus/Jupiter in your sector of shared resources can expand benefits in the areas of debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or intimacy. Watch for a gift, extra assistance or increased access to financial resources/emotional sharing. Other aspects to Venus and the Sun in your sector of shared resources can increase your desire to share, merge or give. There’s potential for deep psychological comfort, but pay attention to boundaries – it will be easy to let everything flow and keep nothing in reserve. Mercury/Neptune cautions you to look before you leap – long-distance travel, legal matters, education, exploration or publishing are areas where you may misread the signals or hope for more than is realistic. Before you cement plans for the future, make sure you have all the facts. 

All of the above will lead to new beginnings, via the New Moon in your sector of shared resources. There could be a new chapter between you and a partner, or a deeper understanding of the dynamics of what you owe, share or are reluctant to share. The inconjunct to Uranus Rx in your sign suggests these discoveries will make you feel a bit out of control. There may be more brewing beneath the surface than anticipated, and the Mars/Pluto square adds in a relationship or career challenge. Someone else (a partner or competitor) may be calling the shots and pushing you to react. Avoid knee-jerk responses and projecting anger onto others. Your full awareness and ownership of your actions will help you feel a bit more in control. 

Taurus

Venus/Jupiter in your partnership sector suggests moments of joy or passion in a new or existing partnership. You and another can deepen your commitment while enjoying the benefits of increased intensity and trust. Other aspects to the Sun and Venus in your partnership sector can enable moments of idealism, deep romance and mutual healing. Also excellent for reaching out to members of the public and impacting them on an emotional/empathetic level. However, Mercury/Neptune can stir up confusing/misguided information (or deceptions) around shared finances or intimacy. Make sure you are both on the same page, regarding who owes what and how far you both want to take this. 

The above is the lead- up to the New Moon’s new chapter in your partnership sector. An existing relationship can enter a whole new level of profound trust and acceptance. A new relationship can accelerate with intensity. The speed and honesty with which things move may make you feel uncomfortable, especially if you or the other person reveal more than you’re comfortable with. Mars/Pluto ups the stakes, as your approach to daily routines, health or work undergoes a challenge. Your efforts to improve or get things done may be unbalanced. Too, an imbalance in shared power (one person does more than the other) could be an issue. Avoid keeping score, but don’t ignore feelings of discomfort or resentment – this is the time for an honest confrontation.

Gemini

Venus/Jupiter in your sector of routine suggests increased hope and assistance in the areas of health, work tasks or daily routines. You could receive the help you want, or feel compelled to go the extra mile for someone else. Too, if you’ve been on a particularly restrictive regime, this energy might encourage you to let go and indulge. Other aspects to the Sun and Venus in your sector of routine promise a positive flow of creativity, acceptance and understanding in your daily work and career – your daily efforts will be noticed and appreciated by someone in authority. However, Mercury/Neptune suggests it will be too easy to place all your faith in someone’s else’s promises or suggestions. Therefore, be very careful with how much you’re giving or accepting – there’s potential for some disappointment.  

The New Moon in your sector of routine takes the above developments and opens a new chapter, regarding work or health. New tasks tasks may feel overwhelming, or new developments in diet/exercise may demand extra commitment. There is an opportunity to access more intensive sources of energy and commitment in your daily life, but this depends on how your routines make you feel – worthwhile or under-appreciated? Mars/Pluto suggests you’ll be dealing with the struggle to be appreciated/noticed, or to gain power over your daily life. 

Cancer

Venus/Jupiter in your sector of self-expression can hit you with a surge of joy, intense attraction, creativity or celebration. It will be tempting to dive right in and luxuriate (or show off) and there’s certainly reasons to be happy. Other aspects to the Sun and Venus in your sector of self-expression can encourage confidence and release, as you let go of fears/hesitations and open yourself up to what’s next. Especially good for travel or making your creative work public. But Mercury/Neptune hints that certain tasks or details are in danger of being overlooked. Don’t forget about the fine print, and don’t ignore your obligations. 

The New Moon in your sector of self-expression builds on the above, with an opportunity to commit yourself more deeply to something you love or enjoy. A new attraction can be all-consuming, and creative work/performance can reveal your passionate side. Mars/Pluto suggests someone significant may trigger a crisis, and this tension will push you to express yourself/put yourself on the line. This can be exciting, challenging or disruptive – it all depends on where your comfort zone is. In some cases, jealousy and competitiveness can trigger all-or-nothing behaviour. Stay aware of your reactions and make sure that someone else isn’t controlling your behaviour, even if you feel like you’re being assertive. 

Leo

Venus/Jupiter in your domestic sector can increase love and abundance at home/with family. There could be a major celebration, home purchase or addition to the family. Or, the purchase of new home.  Other aspects to Venus and the Sun in your domestic sector can increase the flow of idealism, closeness and healing within the family. However, Mercury/Neptune warns you to keep your eye on joint finances (it will be easy to overspend) and communication. Big, romantic words may be floating around, but there may not be much substance to them. Enjoy the energy, but stay aware of the details.

The New Moon in your domestic sector marks a fresh chapter, based on the above. There may be some discord between home/comfort zone versus travel or foreign affairs. The overall theme is an intensive commitment to those closest to you, or your personal security. But Mars/Pluto suggests that tense/angry discussions may be part of the process. Disagreements or troubling news involving heath or work will add some urgency to domestic developments. Use caution with all types of communication, because reactive responses can quickly become destructive. 

Virgo

Venus/Jupiter in your communication sector suggest a spot of excellent news, a conversation that sweeps you away or a beautiful promise. Other aspects to Venus and the Sun in your communication sector can encourage healing/forgiving discussions with a partner. This may be a good time to reach out. – old grudges can dissolve. However, Mercury/Neptune cautions you to look closely at everything that’s being communicated (especially with a partner). Make sure there are solid facts behind the good intentions, and everyone is on the same page. Overall, these influences do have tremendous creative potential – you can easily promote, sell or wow someone with the power of what you say or write.  

The New Moon in your communication sector suggests the above events will lead to a new understanding, plan or potential. You can dedicate yourself fully to a new idea or area of investigation.  Indeed, you may become fixated on this issue, and Mars/Pluto adds a compulsive edge. A desire for attention, a new attraction or issues with money can capture your mind and push you down an extreme path. The best use of this energy would be to learn more about something that could benefit you, or communicate your intentions in an assertive but healthy way. Be wary of trying to force someone to your side, via your arguments. Or, of clinging to what you know is “right” in a way that blinds you to other options. 

Libra

Venus/Jupiter in your sector of personal resources suggests a lucrative opportunity to earn more, or a financial boost. Security and self-esteem can also increase. But since Jupiter expands everything, this energy can also urge you to spend more on a big ticket item. The purchase may be exactly what you need, but Mercury/Neptune suggests you may not be totally clear about you’re doing. In all cases, certain details may be obscured or you may ignore the facts. Other aspects to Venus and the Sun in your sector of personal resources can encourage gentle acceptance of where you are right now. 

The New Moon in your sector of personal resources indicates a new beginning (involving earned money, self-esteem or security) based on the above events. A new job, approach to finances or expression of what you want will urge you to open up and make a deeper commitment. However, Mars in your sign square Pluto can indicate some compulsive actions or struggles for dominance. There may be something (or someone) that you become fixated on, with undertones of a fight for survival. If you don’t get what you want it will feel like your survival is at stake, although this may not actually be the case. Mars/Pluto can increase your odds for success if you direct the energy wisely – remain conscious of what you’re doing, especially if issues from the past/family are involved. 

Scorpio

Venus/Jupiter in your sign can pump up your confidence and attraction power, or put you in the right place at the right time. There may be a prime financial or relationship opportunity. Too, your public image could receive a significant boost. Other aspects to the Sun and Venus in your sign will encourage you to open yourself up to a new attraction, creative opportunity or moment of honest self-expression. These energies can make it easier to be you, as you let go of doubts, insecurities and past hurts. But Mercury/Neptune can muddy the waters with misguided information about money or self-esteem requirements. What you think you must have, or what you think is a sure thing, could involve some miscommunication or obscured facts. Proceed with caution. 

The New Moon in your sign builds on the above, opening an intriguing new door around lifestyle, relationships, career or self-image. While you’re usually honest about who you are, these influences can encourage you dig even deeper and reveal the real you. However, Mars/Pluto suggests background or unconscious actions may be driving some of this. Pay attention to heated conversations or all-or-nothing statements with undertones of hostility. Don’t allow secrets or buried impulses to undermine your powerful new start. 

Sagittarius

Venus/Jupiter in your hidden sector can expand a hidden attraction or desire. Creative potential is favoured, and dreams/fantasies/intuition can be very strong, leaking out into your daily life. Other aspects to Venus and the Sun in your hidden sector can encourage the gentle of release of old wounds and painful family history. However, Mercury in your sign square Neptune suggests a weak spot, based on confused ideals and or old hopes. Be very careful that you’re seeing the whole picture.  

The New Moon in your hidden sector suggests the above background issues won’t fade away. Rather, a whole new chapter can open up, based on what you hope for, intuit or are working on. What you’re trying to manifest can become so powerful that it ends up dominating your life, even though you may not see this coming. Mars/Pluto is a warning that financial and social matters can be risky, if you get caught up in competition, jealousy or comparison (what they have versus what you do not). In some cases, issues with friends or groups can involve manipulations and covert hostility. Tread carefully, make sure you can distinguish a positive, hidden potential from an illusion. 

Capricorn

Venus/Jupiter in your social sector suggests a fortuitous meeting with someone exceptional, or someone who can help you out in a significant way. Too, your public image can receive a boost as you attract new people. Your willingness to open up and go a step deeper with others will benefit you. Excellent for group activities, exploring a new friendship or promoting your work. Other aspects to Venus and the Sun in your social sector can open up the conversation and lead to increased empathy, understanding and perhaps an apology. However, Mercury/Neptune suggests there may be misunderstandings or secrets underneath the social scene. Gossip, mixed messages or suspicions can undermine the good vibe, so be cautious of what you say or hear. 

The New Moon in your social sector builds on the above in the guise of a new friendship, group activity or new chapter in a friendship. The energy may feel a bit more intense (and intimate) that you’re accustomed to, and Mars square Pluto in your sign adds competition and an urgent drive for success. Career matters, or issues of authority, can make you feel challenged, or see you pushing back. Be cautious about how hard you push  – there’s potential for damage, and the fallout will be public. 

Aquarius

Venus/Jupiter in your career sector suggests a powerful mentor or lucrative connection with someone in authority. Your professional image can receive a serious boost, and a promotion or successful job search are favoured as well. You may have an expansive vision of your future, and other aspects to the Sun and Venus in your career sector suggest increased potential for financial support from your creative efforts. However, Mercury/Neptune can add confusing messages from others, or misunderstandings when you communicate. Your perceptions of what others think may be skewed. Choose your words carefully when making public statements. 

The New Moon in your career sector suggests new job/new career goal/new professional image, based on the above. New hope for the future is also indicated. Watch for a heightened sense of passion and commitment to work/success/forward movement. Mars/Pluto can amplify the passion, and in some cases it may tip over into misguided obsession/competition. Of course you want to get ahead, but make sure you’re clear on your motivations.  In some cases, an ideal that you’re chasing  may need some reevaluation. 

Pisces

Venus/Jupiter in your sector of opportunities can plunge you into something new and wonderfully overwhelming. You may get swept away by a long- distance romance or opportunity connected to travel, education, legal matters or publishing. Aspects from Chiron and Neptune (in your sign) to the Sun and Venus in your opportunities sector can dissolve limits and encourage you to move past old fears and weaknesses. However, Mercury square Neptune in your sign suggests confusing messages from someone at work/in authority. Or, the messages you’re giving out may be unclear. Double-check all communication and make sure the facts are not obscured.

The New Moon in your opportunities sector can open a door into the unknown, based on the above developments. This new chapter can plunge you into deep and unfamiliar waters, and Mars/Pluto suggests background power struggles or difficulties with shared finances can add a compulsive edge.

Overview

Mercury enters Sagittarius on November 5th. Communication is injected with big ideas and details are stretched to accommodate new possibilities. There will be much more to say and learn. Due to Mercury’s Rx in this sign on December 3rd, its transit of Sagittarius will last until January 11th, 2018. So there truly will be more to discover. 

Venus enters Scorpio on November 7th, urging you to dig deeper and uncover the true value of what you love and want. Money, relationships and self-esteem will go through an intensifying process, and what looks pretty/desirable will be less important than how it resonates in your gut. 

November 11th brings the last of three trines between Saturn in Sagittarius and Uranus in Aries. Saturn’s structure adds form to Uranus’ change, while Uranus adds new angles to Saturn’s rules and traditions. This aspect becomes a Grand Fire Trine as the Leo Moon adds its influence in the morning, creating an easy flow of real (Saturn) opportunity. When all three Fire signs are activated in harmony, there’s an increase in assertive, hopeful energy. Saturn will be the anchor and the driver. 

Also on November 11th, the Scorpio Sun squares the Leo North Node (which it rules) and the Aquarius South Node. A square to the Nodes is a challenge. In order to move forward from alienation/detachment (South Node) something secret, unpleasant or taboo (Scorpio) will have to be dealt with. You’ll have to go deep before you can bask in the Leo glow of pride, creativity and confidence. The South Node issue is described by its ruler (Uranus) which is happily part of that Grand Trine. That South Node issue already has a structure. There are rules and potentials that you can apply. Make it real and work with it, then dive into those Scorpio waters and look at the underside of the issue. 

Aries

Mercury into your sector of opportunities opens your eyes to new horizons. Travel, education, legal matters and publishing are areas where you can gather new information and talk openly. Meanwhile, Venus into your sector of shared resources gets things cooking behind the scenes. Debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or intimacy are areas where you may be gifted with something hopeful or sweet. Excellent for exploring the deeper value of money and emotional connections. 

The Grand Fire Trine (including Uranus Rx in your sign) suggests a smooth flow of structured opportunity. Change and liberation can be integrated into new structures. Rules/authority in the areas of travel, education, legal matters or publishing can work in your favour, allowing you to express yourself openly and show off your talents. However, the Sun in your sector of shared resources square the Nodes means there’s a buried or uncomfortable issue (involving shared finances or intimacy) to confront, before you can really show others what you’ve got. There may be fears of exposing something secret to the public. 

Taurus

Mercury into your sector of shared resources opens up discussions around debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy. Sensitive or unpleasant issues can be approached with optimism and a desire to learn more. This energy goes well with Venus’ move into your partnership sector, which will sweeten all one-on-one interactions while adding attraction based on intensity. 

The Grand Fire Trine will work in the background, as the most private areas of your life are given support. Domestic finances, partnership issues and secret/unacknowledged changes can progress smoothly – change becomes less frightening and restrictions (financial or emotional) seem less oppressive. However, the Sun in your partnership sector square the Nodes means there will be a key relationship issue to deal with – one partner may have a very different idea about success or future goals. Domestic/family progress depends on an honest exploration of both partners’ desires. Watch for an imbalance (involving power or intimacy) that needs to be addressed.  

Gemini

Mercury into your partnership sector can trigger wide-ranging discussions that encourage mutual growth, exploration and enthusiastic exchanges. An existing relationship can benefit from this open-minded energy. Or, this could trigger an introduction to someone who piques your curiosity. Venus into your sector of routine adds benefits and assistance to all matters involving daily work, heath or co-workers. It can become easier to get the help you need, and Mercury will support this with a cooperative exchange of ideas. 

The Grand Fire Trine adds even more favourable energy to your communication, as social and one-on-one exchanges are balanced nicely. Changes or surprises with friends/groups/your connection to the public will be anchored via a grounded partnership. One-on-one exchanges add stability, and everyone should be receptive to your emotional words. Excellent for reaching others with new ideas, promotions or public speaking. However, the Sun in your sector of routine squares the Nodes, reminding you that there will be an issue with health or daily work that needs to be addressed, before you can say everything that needs to be said. There could be a flaw that needs correcting, or an imbalance around how much you’ve been doing for others. Don’t be afraid to dig deeply into the problem and push for a solution (which will be part of your open communication). 

Cancer

Mercury into your sector of routine can trigger fresh new solutions and improvements (in work or heath areas). The fix may be untested, but it’s probably time to expand the boundaries in your daily routine or approach to self-care. Too, Mercury can bring more work and obligations. Meanwhile, Venus into your sector of self-expression will encourage you to celebrate, indulge or attract what you want. Venus doesn’t encourage work, so there may be some tension between what you have to do versus what you want to do – it may be very tempting to dive into an indulgence. Find a balance between reward and work. 

The Grand Fire Trine brings its benefits to your work and money sectors. New developments in career and future goals will be given form and stability by the focused efforts you’ve been applying on a daily basis. This in turn can help manifest increased financial and emotional security. However, much will be dependent on your daily efforts over the past year or so. The Sun in your sector of self-expression squares the Nodes, adding a point of tension to financial developments. Before you can achieve the fully secure (and lucrative) results that are possible, you need to address an issue involving creative work, indulgence/addiction, new romance or children/pregnancy. There may be too much of a good thing that’s preventing you from fully realizing your independence. Or, you may need to decide if you really want a desired goal – how much effort are you willing to put into it? 

Leo

Mercury into your sector of self-expression gives you the creativity and confidence to speak out. New romance, artistic work and performance are favoured, and new possibilities are only limited by what you can think of. Venus into your domestic sector can increase your desire to redecorate, have a quiet celebration with family or bring more love and abundance into your home. 

The Grand Fire Trine (including the Moon in your sign) helps you manifest an ideal, creative work or longed-for outcome. Your focus and intent will fuel results, as you make a vision real while grounding your hopes/desires with work. Education, travel, publishing, legal matters or romance can move to the next level. However, the Sun in your domestic sector squares the Nodes (including the North Node in your sign) which means there’s a family issue that needs to be resolved. Something at home or from the past may be interfering with your flow of confidence, or keeping you stuck in what used to be. It may be time to develop a new sense of who you are. 

Virgo

Mercury into your domestic sector can bring more family discussions, information about the past and/or home renovations, buying or selling. Communication is likely to feature something that goes beyond traditions, and will offer you a new perspective on an insular situation. Venus into your communication sector can increase your ability to convince/charm others with your words. Uncomfortable or probing conversations will have an attractive/seductive energy. Too, you may find that you have a keen sense of what’s most valuable – watch for a lucrative opportunity. 

The Grand Fire Trine creates a smooth flow of energy between domestic issues, shared finances/intimacy and hidden matters. A home business, home finances or domestic responsibilities can be used to stabilize changes and give you some control over issues where you feel overwhelmed/out of control. Even if you don’t have a complete picture of what’s happening, know that doing what you have to do (with patience) will guide you forward. However, the Sun in your communication sector squaring the Nodes suggests a piece of information, investigation or conversation needs to be addressed before you can move forward. Something secret/unacknowledged needs to be put into words. 

Libra

Mercury into your communication sector brings a tremendous boost to all exchanges of information. Your writing and speaking will be given more energy and optimism. The pace of information should increase, as you hear more and are expected to respond. Excellent for making new contacts, promoting yourself or making your thoughts public. Venus into your sector of personal resources can boost earning potential or sharpen your awareness of new sources of income. You can attract what you want, but what you magnetize will match your sense of  self-worth. This energy encourages you to look beneath surface appearances or values. 

The Grand Fire Trine can confirm a relationship agreement, change or commitment. This can apply to a partnership, friendship or group association. This energy is not dramatic or sweepingly romantic, but it can encourage solid developments and information/answers that you can rely on. Others should respect your words, providing you have solid proof. However, the Sun in your sector of personal resources squares the Nodes, indicating a financial or self-esteem issue needs to be dealt with before you can go public or reach out to others. You may need to dig deep to find the confidence or money you need. Too, the absolute value of a friendship or group association may need to be assessed. 

Scorpio

Mercury into your sector of personal resources can get the conversation started regarding earned money, new sources of income or your baseline self-esteem requirements. Mercury can trigger new input and ideas regarding the above, while encouraging you to ask for what you want. Venus into your sign supports this by boosting your attraction power and confidence. Venus can magnetize what/who you want, and you won’t have to make the first move. 

The Grand Fire Trine solidifies work and financial prospects, as your focus and discipline over the past year (in money matters) finally pays off. Changes to your work habits or daily routines can  benefit you, as you move forward with a new job, job search, promotion or adjustments to your professional image. However, the Sun in your sign squares the Nodes, so there is key area involving personal development or public image that needs to be addressed. Before you can fully manifest the attention/success you’re looking for, consider what needs to be fully explored. Too, there may be ego issues (misguided confidence or lack of confidence) that are getting in the way. 

Sagittarius

Mercury into your sign keeps you hopping with an influx of new ideas and contacts. There will be more for you to see and talk about – excellent for new introductions, prompting yourself or simply making your ideas known. Meanwhile, Venus into your hidden sector suggests one issue involving a personal desire or relationship is shifting to the back burner. You may be taking a time out, or biding your time to see what develops. Despite Mercury’s presence in your sign, know that you don’t have all the facts about this Venus issue. Adopt a wait-and-see attitude for this one. 

The Grand Fire Trine (including Saturn in your sign) helps you manifest a creative or romantic goal. If you’ve been wanting to move ahead with this, or show off your talents, this influence encourages you to press forward with your work ethic and discipline: by now, you know that this won’t simply be handed to you. Too, these energies can take the edge off some particularly heavy responsibilities, as you’re given a glimpse of a more positive future. Issues with children/pregnancy are also favoured. However, the Sun in your hidden sector square the Nodes reminds you that a secret or background issue must be fully acknowledged before you can reap the full rewards of the Grand Trine. Don’t ignore what you don’t want to talk about – hidden information (or something in your blind spot) is crucial.  

Capricorn

Mercury into your hidden sector can expand your dreams, intuition and faith, as you gain access to information/ideas with seemingly limitless potential. The sky’s the limit, but for the moment, this is about exploring potential rather than proven facts. Venus into your social sector boosts your social appeal, friendships and group associations. You can magnetize others and the vibe should be quite enjoyable, although not always light-hearted. Attractions and celebrations can have an all-or-nothing quality. 

The Grand Fire Trine can help stabilize domestic/family changes, although most of the work will be done in the background. Hidden rules and private financial/emotional matters will benefit from, and contribute to, ongoing developments at home. If you’re trying to manifest a vision of your domestic future, this is a good influence. You shouldn’t have to force anything – what’s meant to happen will fall into place. However, the Sun in your social sector squares the Nodes, indicating that an issue with a friend, group or your public contacts will be need to be addressed before you can benefit from enhanced financial or emotional security. Something public needs to be dealt with in order to enhance deeply private potentials. You may feel that this is not anyone else’s business, but you can’t ignore the social dynamics. 

Aquarius

Mercury into your social sector can bring new contacts, group activities and increased communication with friends. Your ideas about what’s possible with others will broaden, and there could be an influx of hopeful messages. The vibe is open- minded and optimistic. Meanwhile, Venus into your career sector improves relationships with those in authority and can help you attract strategic business connections. Your professional image can get an intensive boost, and future goals can feel more doable. Mercury and Venus’ influence add up to increased self-promotion, better relationships with the public and hope for the future. 

The Grand Fire Trine helps you anchor new/unusual ideas via respect and assistance from others. What seemed crazy or out of reach can manifest, based on your level emotional security/trust, and the relationships that you have cultivated over the years. However, the Sun in your career sector squares the Nodes (including the South Node in your sign) so there is a future goal or professional issue that requires your attention. Your next step forward is a big one, and the leap will require a move from being totally self-contained (or alone) to joining forces with someone and learning to trust. Uranus (ruler of the South Node) is hooked into that Grand Trine, so all you have to do is reach out to your community and trust that your reputation will carry you forward. 

Pisces

Mercury into your career sector can open up new job prospects or hopeful communication with those in authority. Ideas about the future and your success will increase, and Venus into your opportunities sector can add to that momentum. Long-distance travel, long-distance romance, education, legal matters or publishing are areas where you can attract favourable responses. 

The Grand Fire Trine can help you nail down a professional coup, cement a business partnership or solidify your vision of future success. Your hard work can pay off now, and the extra responsibilities on your plate may feel a little less heavy, as you see room for growth and gradual change (especially concerning earned money). However, the Sun in your opportunities sector squares the Nodes, so before you can make the dream real, you must deal with an area of expansion. It’s possible that a leap into the unknown is required. Or, a step into deeper waters, far beyond your comfort zone. The key is taking the big issue and bringing it down to earth by applying it to your daily work and life.

Overview

November 2nd brings a hurtful square (the last of three) between Saturn in Sagittarius and Chiron Rx in Pisces. Rules and responsibilities can be painful, as you run up against extra pressure or restrictions. Fortunately, Mercury in Scorpio is trining Chiron on this same day, so you have an immediate point of release – talk about the issue, and be completely honest about it. Not only will you find empathy, you may uncover assistance or hidden resources. 

The November 4th Full Moon in Taurus squares Ceres in Leo, suggesting challenges around nurturing, security and mother issues. Taurus wants to hang onto things, but Ceres is about the cycle of nurturing and loss. Results may not allow you to maintain what you have, but the Moon’s sextile/Sun’s trine to Neptune Rx in Pisces indicates that dissolution can open up new potentials. Events will flow as they’re meant to, so there’s no use trying to maintain the illusion of control. The opposition between Venus in Libra and Uranus Rx on the same day says that this ending/result will be jolting, and you may feel off-balance (initially). 

Lack of security, or what’s missing/not enough, will be themes. But Neptune’s aspects do provide expansion (although not always in a predictable direction) and Uranus always clarifies. You’ll know exactly what you have left, and where you can go from here. 

Aries

Aspects to Chiron Rx in your hidden sector suggest difficulties around long-distance travel, education, legal matters or publishing. Wounds that are not immediately visible may be triggered by hard rules or limits on how far you can travel/expand. Going deeper to research and discuss the issue can help. Too, you may have access to financial assistance or psychological support. At the very least, you can arrive at a profound understanding by talking about what’s hidden.

The Full Moon in your sector of personal resources suggests that culminations involving earned money, self-esteem or emotional security may trigger fears of not having enough, or not being able to give/nurture enough. Insecurities may be combined with neediness or grasping behaviour, in an attempt to “make” someone love you or control an outcome via what you can give. Venus opposite Uranus Rx in your sign ties these events to a relationship ending, surprise or abrupt reveal. You have limited control over this outcome (and over the other person). Take a close look at what you’re not acknowledging  – calm acceptance of the nature of impermanence can loosen your grip just enough to take the edge off. 

Taurus

Aspects to Chiron Rx in your social sector suggest embracing vulnerable moments with friends, groups or your public image. Private financial concerns or hidden fears/boundaries can be tripped by an innocent interaction. You may feel exposed by what’s missing in your life. Open discussion with others can help, especially in a one-on-one context. There’s empathy and cooperation available to you. 

The Full Moon in your sign can stir up domestic tensions involving children, domestic finances or disagreements with a partner over personal versus family nurturing. You may feel torn between looking out for yourself versus giving care and energy to those closest to you. The Venus/Uranus opposition suggests surprising reveals or disruptions around health, daily routines or work – there may be something extra (to fix or take care of) that you hadn’t planned for. Being aware of the bigger picture can help. You may find that group or higher ideals mesh well with more personal concerns. Don’t be afraid to turn to others for advice or examples of how to deal; you may discover that you’re not the only one going through this. 

Gemini

Aspects to Chiron Rx in your career sector can trigger painful partnership issues, related to differing views of success, pressure to succeed or conflicting plans for the future. You could feel less than capable, or vulnerable when dealing with someone in authority. Competition with someone at work could trigger a sore spot. Fortunately, your recognition of practical solutions and details in your daily routines/work methods will work in your favour. Speak up about what’s bothering you, but do so in a way that shows you’re prepared to make improvements. 

The Full Moon in your hidden sector suggests secret issues (related to work or health) may trigger open disagreements about nurturing. How you (or someone else) needs to be nurtured may be a point of contention. Health issues can be especially frustrating, but looking beyond the immediate issue to the bigger picture (or future potentials) can help. Believe it or not, this culmination can help you realize a future/career ideal, as long as you’re willing to allow events to unfold, even if the results don’t look perfect. The Venus/Uranus opposition suggests social surprises may be part of the picture. You could attract what you want (attention, romance, recognition) in a very unexpected way, or attract what you didn’t expect. Too, the reaction of others may change your mind completely by revealing the truth about an unacknowledged desire. 

Cancer

Aspects to Chiron in your sector of opportunities can see you questioning recent expansions, in the areas of long-distance travel, education, legal matters, publishing or ideals. Your faith may be tested by extra responsibilities (in the areas of work, daily routines or health) that make you feel incapable or flawed. However, you’re not doing everything wrong. You just need to adjust to a more stringent routine. Open, honest discussion about the issue can help, and can add some juice to your creativity and appeal. Maybe others need to hear about your insecurities. 

The Full Moon in your social sector suggests culminations/results involving friends, groups or the public can heighten feelings of insecurity. You could feel challenged to provide appropriate nurturing (for another, or yourself). Doubts can increase your feelings that there’s not enough for you. The Venus/Uranus opposition indicates that career and domestic disruptions will be part of the picture. A desired outcome at home/with family may bring more than you bargained for. Give yourself some breathing room (and perspective) by looking up and out. This is a new area that you’re exploring, and you’re moving in the right direction. Look beyond feelings of inadequacy, and allow yourself to dream of positive outcomes.  

Leo

Aspects to Chiron in your sector of shared resources can trigger sensitive issues around debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or intimacy. Not having enough to share/spend, or dealing with someone’s refusal to share/get close can be painful. But discussions with those closest to you (involving family, a domestic partnership or domestic finances) can help you work through some of the difficulties. 

The Full Moon in your career sector, square Ceres in your sign, suggests results around career/future goals that hi-light tension around what you’re trying to nurture. This could be self-nurturing or your efforts as a parent.  A new job, job search or issues with success/ambition can push you into smothering overdrive, or challenge your ability to provide. The Venus/Uranus opposition adds in sudden announcements/conversations/goodbyes. What you learn could completely change your mind about what you want. If in doubt, look deeper or go behind the scenes. A close relationship or sources of shared income may have more for you than you realize. It might be time to pool your resources or admit to something you’ve been holding back. 

Virgo

Aspects to Chiron in your relationship sector suggest painful partnership issues involving domestic responsibilities. The weight of family obligations could emphasize relationship insecurities, but rather than shutting down, consider an open, deeply honest discussion. The responsibilities won’t go away, but your partner may be more empathetic than you think. And, an agreement can be reached. 

The Full Moon in your sector of opportunities suggests a conclusion involving long-distance travel, education, legal matters and publishing. The results will trigger hidden fears of loss, insecurities about motherhood/nurturing, or refusal to let go and accept that a new chapter is starting. The Venus/Uranus opposition can add some financial or security jolts to the mix – unexpected expenses or gains can be equally disruptive, as you scramble to maintain a balance. Watch for subtly shift partnership issues to help you out- releasing old fears/controlling tendencies and replacing them with acceptance and forgiveness (or self and others) can sooth you.

Libra

Aspects to Chiron in your sector of routine suggest the reveal of flaws or weaknesses involving health or daily work. A conversation or understanding may hi-light what you can’t fix, or where you can’t quite deliver. However, further discussion and research can reveal deeper value in your existing work, or some workarounds that enhance your security. Discussions about finances still have some positive potential, even if you don’t achieve everything you’re hoping for. 

The Full Moon in your sector of shared resources delivers a conclusion around debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy. Results may call for you to give up some control (although you never had full control) as someone else has a say in what you share or owe. Fears of loss (involving friends or groups) will be quite public. Uranus Rx opposite Venus in your sign will emphasize the unexpected aspects of this Moon – watch for a complete reversal in a relationship. Surprises can involve an ending or (in some cases) a delightful gift. Whatever comes your way has been building for awhile, even if the final outcome seems to emerge from nowhere. And there is room for gentle growth and expansion, although it won’t be in an obvious direction. The value of what you share or want may be abruptly clarified. 

Scorpio

Aspects to Chiron in your sector of self-expression can trigger insecurities or feelings of failure, as you encounter limits in your efforts to succeed/impress. Creative work, performance or a new attraction can be areas where you’re reminded of what you can’t have, or where you’re not appreciated. However, the trine to Mercury in your sign suggests that open discussion about what’s happening may work to your benefit. You’ll have profound insight into the situation if you observe what’s happening and analyze your reactions/feelings. This insight will enable you to craft a compelling argument or story. Even if things don’t go your way, there’s still room for healing discussion. 

The Full Moon in your partnership sector presents a relationship culmination that may trigger a crisis around your career or future goals. Nurturing professional ambitions will clash with personal issues. The Sun in your sign trines Neptune Rx, taking the edge off any harsh or disruptive results. Forgiveness, healing, compassion or gentle romance are possibilities, and the Venus/Uranus opposition promises a surprising reveal. What comes to light may shift the balance in a partnership, or reveal an unexpected attraction. Open yourself up to whatever happens, while releasing expectations of what should happen. 

Sagittarius

Aspects to Chiron in your domestic sector (including the square to Saturn in your sign) suggest some painful moments at home/with family. This will involve your extra responsibilities – you may need others to step up (but they can’t) or you may be dealing with some difficult family history. Responsibilities may involve care of a sick family member. It’s up to you to be the adult and shoulder the extra burdens. Fortunately, your instincts or knowledge of something behind the scenes will help you out. Tap into what you sense, or pay attention to what nobody is openly discussing. 

The Full Moon in your sector of routine suggests results involving health, daily routines or work will challenge your efforts to expand/learn more. Something bigger that you’ve been nurturing will either alert you to what you’re doing wrong, or how your immediate obligations don’t allow you to go any further (for now). The Venus/Uranus opposition indicates that abrupt social endings or surprises (involving friends, group associations or your public image) will be involved. There could be a conflict between your efforts to gain attention/explore versus obligations that are tying you down. Rather than struggling to do it all, try letting go of one of two things that aren’t top priority. Releasing a bit can give you enough breathing room so you can exhale fully. 

Capricorn

Aspects to Chiron in your communication sector can trigger painful conversations or realizations. Background fears may hinder your ability to speak openly. Or, you could be reminded of an old failure/weakness that triggers immediate insecurities. You may have difficulties being heard or understood. However, there is plenty of room for you to speak, despite these insecurities. You’ve got an audience- all you need to do is let them know what you’re thinking. It can be helpful to openly discuss your worries, as others will be empathetic. 

The Full Moon in your sector of self-expression continues the theme of doubts around open expression. Results involving creative work, performance, a new attraction or children/pregnancy can stir up private fears of loss, or worries about your ability to provide/nurture. The Venus/Uranus opposition suggests career or future goals/ambitions will also be involved, as an abrupt readjustment between work and home occurs. Acceptance may be the last thing on your mind, but an open attitude to what’s in front of you can help. Listen and speak with no judgements, and consider if this new path has more to offer. Public speaking and promotions can still work in your favour. 

Aquarius

Aspects to Chiron in your sector of personal resources can emphasize a financial shortfall or intensify feelings of insecurity. Rules/limits/judgements involving friends, groups or your place in the community could be the trigger, as you struggle with fears of not having enough. Or, not feeling entitled to having what you need. Planning for the future can help, as you discuss career options/future goals, or map out a strategy to address the areas where you feel weakest. Discussions with those in authority can bring relief. 

The Full Moon in your domestic sector suggests endings/results at home or with family will stir up some tension with a partner. Disagreements over nurturing or childcare may be raised, and a discrepancy between what they can give versus what you need will be hi-lighted. The Venus/Uranus opposition suggests a surprising announcement or conversation will be part of the picture. Despite the tension, there’s room for growth and understanding, and you may actually have everything you need already. Pay attention to the ongoing shift in your financial and self-esteem requirements. Your security requirements have changed. Watch for opportunities for financial assistance from work, or a chance to earn in a more creative, satisfying field.  

Pisces

Aspects to Chiron in your sign can stir up insecurities related to career, your professional image or dealings with those in authority. Rules or heavy responsibilities can see you questioning if you can handle the burden. In some cases, the responsibilities may be too much; you’ll have to judge if this is something you’re meant to shoulder, or if you should move on. Talking to a guide/mentor, or exploring the bigger picture can help you gain perspective. Too, education, foreign issues or publishing can be areas of release and healing. 

The Full Moon in your communication sector can present an answer, final decision or announcement that stirs up insecurities around work or health. Shortfalls in health care or efforts to nurture another will be revealed, and your approach to work/routines may be challenged. The Venus/Uranus opposition adds in unexpected developments with debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or intimacy. A surprising about-face or change in financial status can rattle your security. However, harmonious aspects to Neptune in your sign suggest there’s plenty of room for forgiveness, release and growth. You may be able to transcend these events, as you discover that the big ending was not such a big deal, after all. What seemed vitally important may be anti-climactic, or less serious than anticipated.
