Theme: Working for Yourself

The positive combination of the Sun and Mars in a trine is favorable for working alone for your own benefit. Physical activity is also favored for one more day. It is good to take stock in what your current projects are and to throw yourself into them vigorously. The Moon is in Scorpio today and harmonizes with Venus, especially in the middle of the day. This favors socializing, and indulging in food and drink.

Freedom comes from strength and self-reliance. ~Lisa Murkowski

Theme: Shadow and light

The Moon has entered the sign of Scorpio bringing deep feelings to the surface that make you want to keep your own counsel, at least until you’ve sorted through things. While the Moon remains in Scorpio it’s an intense couple of days leavened by the Sun and Mercury in Sagittarius, who blithely aid us in venturing into territory others keep well away from. There is a nice aspect of Venus to the part-of-fortune bringing good fortune in connection with others today.

Gratitude doesn’t send you out shopping to find satisfaction; it comes as a gift rather than a commodity, subverting the foundation of the whole economy. That’s good medicine for land and people alike.~ Robin Wall Kimmerer

Theme: Taking time for reflection and planning

With the Moon Void of Course most of the day (4.14 am to 7.21pm EST USA) it’s not a day to initiate great change. Rather, seek time to take stock today and prepare for changes to come. It’s an opportune time for planning and applying effort in building relationships. With the Sun in Sagittarius it is also a time to link your ideals to the actual steps needed to achieve your ideals.

You must take sickness as the path, afflictions as the path, the bardo as the path, and delusion as the path.~ Khenpo Gangshar Wangpo

Theme: Inner cleansing

With the Moon conjunct Vesta today take the time to turn inwards to listen to your heart and your spiritual needs. Once you identify them you can attend to them. The Moon in Libra invite us to see both sides of the coin and weigh up all the necessary elements to make an informed decision. This is particularly important with Mercury retrograde, and the need for attention to detail. However, with the Sun and Mercury in Sagittarius detail may not be uppermost in your mind.

Theme: Finding the right balance

With the Moon now in Libra conjunct the south node it’s helpful to review your personal situation and how you balance the different elements of your life. Libra energy reminds us to find the middle-way in the see-saw that can sometimes be life. The Sun in Sagittarius gives us more optimism in overcoming obstacles, and we’re more encouraged to explore how our belief systems limit us. In other words, the spirit of adventure Sagittarius encourages us to explore the wider world.

… you don’t need to be proud or sad to be a big butt person or a little butt person. Why be proud or sad? They are just one, the same.~ Gyaltrul Rinpoche

Theme: A Fortunate Day

The Sun is united with the part of fortune today. Especially the during first half of the day, something good should happen. The Moon is in Virgo for one more day, which favors cleaning and organizing. This is also the last day before Mercury goes retrograde until December 15th. This is a day for lively discussions, or perhaps arguments. But this will be less so by the evening.

Theme: Ease with Making Changes

For a couple more days we have an easy aspect with the Sun and Pluto. This means that we can get to the bottom of issues that have been a concern for a while. It is best, of course, to have the greater good in mind. Some tension will arise, especially in the first half of the day, as the Moon is 90 degrees from the Sun. The detail focused Virgo Moon is a good balance to the big picture oriented Sagittarius Sun and Mercury.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. ~Barack Obama

Theme: A New 19 Year Cycle

Pluto has entered the sign Aquarius, and this will influence the next 19 years. Aquarius has to do with social reform, progressive ideals and new technologies. With the planet Pluto there is usually a few years of a breakdown phase. Some things and ideas need to be destroyed, and then the new will emerge. In the shorter term, we are almost (11/25) to Mercury retrograde which will end on 12/15. And the Moon leaves prideful Leo late in the day, and enters analytical Virgo for a few days.

The Age of Aquarius is the age of excellence in which personal purity shall absolutely matter. ~Harbhajan Singh Yogi

The Moon is void of course today from 8:16 am until 6:02 pm. Do not make any major decisions during this time period.

Theme: Optimism

The Sun has moved into Sagittarius, the sign ruled by the beneficent Jupiter. As such, this month can bring more optimism into your life and more willingness to adventure and explore beyond your normal territory. It also brings idealism. The challenge is to ground idealism in reality. The Sun is still in good aspect to Neptune bringing insights and a feeling of being more connected to the world around you.

I am an irrepressible optimist, but I always base my optimism on solid facts.~Mahatma Ghandi

Theme: Finding ones dignity

The Moon has moved into Leo. The sign of Leo invites us to access healthy pride, including ones inner dignity. Mars is conjunct the Moon which can trigger volatile emotional reactions. It is the last day of Sun in Scorpio and the deep psychological diving that has accompanied its passage this past month. The opposition of Uranus opposite the Sun is lessening, but still producing, unpredictable outer events.

…recognize that everything you experience is yourself, not something or someone else. Just like your hand will cast a shadow when placed before a light, don’t be scared of the shadow, know that it is your own hand.~Erik Pema Kunzang

The Moon is Void of Course today between EST USA 6.52am until 8:51am. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts during this time. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.
