Our week begins with a big bang of an illuminating super-sized Full Moon on Monday November 14. What had been forsaken and left in the dark, rises back up to the surface; revealing the light of a much needed truth. Endings unfold; helping us to let go of we thought and what we understood. Something shifts, […]

Mercury’s Transit of Sagittarius
Fra Angelico (circa 1395–1455) – Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org
Mercury enters Sagittarius on November 12th. Ideas go big and vocal. Facts are inflated, opinions are advertised.
Mercury is the planet of details and Sag is the sign of philosophy and the big picture. Therefore, we can expect details to be expanded, and in some cases, exaggerated. Mercury sees further in Sagittarius. But judgemental pronouncements and baseless promises increase. It will all be very public.
What do you believe, when Mercury is in this sign? You have to be smart about it – don’t believe everything you hear, because some facts will be glossed over. The exception to this will be November 23rd, when Mercury conjoins Saturn and the focus is narrowed.
Overall, this transit is excellent for infusing new life into your plans. If you’ve been stuck, bored or depressed, Mercury in Sagittarius can alert you to new opportunities. Nothing is proven (although Saturn may validate or deny a particular hope) but you have to start somewhere. This is the transit of the salesman, missionary and teacher – new ideas and hopeful concepts are packaged to inspire.
As ruler of the Virgo North Node, Mercury urges you to expand on what you know. It’s time to add to the facts and push those improvements further. If you’ve got a plan, consider going beyond what you’ve mapped out. Think bigger. November 18th will be a crucial date, when Mercury squares the Nodes and Neptune. Check this post for details.
Here are the aspects Mercury in Sag will make:
- Nov 14th: conjunct Juno (2 deg)
- Nov 15th: sextile Mars in Aquarius (4 deg)
- Nov 15th: trine Vesta in Leo (4 deg)
- Nov 18th: square the Nodes and Neptune Rx in Pisces (9 deg)
- Nov 22nd: sextile Jupiter in Libra (15 deg)
- Nov 23rd: conjunct Saturn (16 deg)
- Nov 26th: square Chiron Rx in Pisces (20 deg)
- Nov 26th: trine Uranus Rx in Aries (21 deg)
- Nov 26th: trine Ceres Rx in Aries (21 deg)
- Nov 27th: sextile Pallas in Aquarius (23 deg)
- Dec 2nd: Capricorn ingress

October 27th, 2016: Sun/Mercury in Scorpio, Venus Square the Nodes, Mars Sextile Chiron Rx
Gustave Doré, 1868, “Idylls of the King” Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org
The Sun conjoins Mercury in Scorpio, at 4 degrees. Clarity pierces the shadows, revealing secrets or additional layers. This superior conjunction may be connected to September 12th’s inferior conjunction at 20 degrees Virgo (when Mercury was Rx). The facts that were illuminated then are peeled back now. A richer understanding is achieved.
This connects to Venus in Sagittarius’ square to the Mercury-ruled North Node in Virgo/South Node in Pisces, at 11 degrees. Venus in Sag triggers a point of tension. The restless desire to expand or take an emotional/financial leap may bring you to a crossroads. The North Node and Mercury in Scorpio say the way forward involves carrying the facts to their ultimate conclusion. The time for vagueness or escapism is over. If you’re going to jump in, make sure you know exactly how deep the waters are, what you really want, and the potential consequences. No excuses.
Mars in Capricorn makes a sextile to Chiron Rx in Pisces, at 21 degrees. Quiet healing is achieved with sober, determined actions. Doing what needs to be done, and doing it with focused efficiency, will move you along nicely. Disciplined actions carry you over awkward patches. This will happen so smoothly that one else may notice. But you will. Tackle the sore spot and keep marching forward.
To Purge Is To Heal. Scorpio New Moon
Intense energy continues to seduce us this week, as Mercury (thoughts, communications, journeys) joins Sun (ego, identity) in Scorpio on Monday, October 24. What seems to be leading us, is coming from within, where our most private desires, intimate jealousies, and darkest temptations have been withheld and caged. As vision intensifies – loving kindness, brutal truth or stinging words will begin to penetrate – […]
Venus’ Transit of Sagittarius: What If It’s Going To Be Ok?
Evelyn De Morgan, 1887, “Hope in a Prison of Despair” -Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org
Venus’ Sagittarius ingress begins on October 18th. After the exploration of what lay beneath relationship, financial and self-esteem issues, she reaches out and up. The exploration continues, but now the search for new truths and new possibilities takes you over the horizon.
This transit urges you to have faith that something better is coming. Love will improve and grow. What you want may actually be out there, and you can afford it. Beauty lies in the glow of promise that you can see…just over there. If you don’t have faith that things will improve, that things will be ok, you’ll never get out of bed. And you can choose to not have faith. To believe in nothing. You can sit this one out, because sometimes it’s easier to be hopeless. Hope leaves you open to pain.
But…
…for those who want to progress, you have to move on. You have to take that risk and start believing again. Even a rock solid relationship or value system will stagnate if there’s no expansion. And for sure…the pain of an eviscerating love or the abyss of zero self-esteem will remain magnetically fresh if you don’t move forward. You have to make room for something new, even if you’re not certain that you’ll achieve it. With this transit, the cliché about the journey being more important than the goal is true. What you learn along the way is what triggers growth.
Venus will be in mutual reception with Jupiter in Libra. This adds an extra layer of optimism, as Venus and Jupiter strengthen each other. Partnership issues will be key- new ways to cooperate, new people to meet, new things to learn about a partner you’ve been with for many years. For those who’ve been dancing the same, painful relationship dance, these influences can open your eyes to different ways of connecting. Maybe you don’t have to play the role of ____. That’s the core of Jupiter/Sag’s optimism – you are given a broader perspective, which encourages you to try something different. Sag is a Mutable sign – truth is not carved in stone. The downside is “flexible” honesty. The upside is busting out of unhealthy truths you’ve been telling yourself.
Who knows where this might lead?
The Venus/Jupiter sextile (October 26th) will be an important date. Another key date will be Venus’ conjunction with Saturn, on October 29th – the finish line, reality check or formal commitment.
Here are the aspects Venus in Sagittarius will make:
- Oct 25th: square Neptune Rx, 9 deg Pisces
- Oct 26th: sextile Jupiter, 10 deg Libra
- Oct 27th: square the Virgo/Pisces Nodes, 11 deg
- Oct 29th: conjunct Saturn, 14 deg
- Nov 3rd: sextile Pallas, 19 deg Aquarius
- Nov 4th: square Chiron Rx, 21 deg Pisces
- Nov 5th: trine Uranus Rx, 21 deg Aries
- Nov 7th: trine Ceres Rx, 24 deg Aries
- Nov 11th : Capricorn ingress
Venus in Sagittarius…
Venus is about to move out of steely and intense Scorpio into Sagittarius. Sagittarius is associated with exploration beyond your boundaries- and finding pleasure in that. Sure this could mean planning a holiday or taking a holiday, but it…
