This week’s headline items:<\/strong> Mercury’s transit across the Sun in Scorpio is visible from the US on Monday late morning, the Full Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Tuesday morning, Mercury slows down again on Saturday, preparing to end its 3.5-week Retrograde phase in Scorpio, and there will be three Moon VoC<\/a> phases this week: Tuesday late morning (for 17 hours), Friday early morning (a little over 4.5 hours), and Sunday afternoon (almost 2 hours).<\/p>\nBefore we get to this week’s forecast, let me share this with you: To register for this month only,\u00a0click here<\/a> (non-Members also get access to this month’s Full Moon video when they register).

We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well. In other words: change is not our favorite thing and “rushing things” goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It’s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Monday very early morning<\/strong>, if possible, connect with people that can support your projects on a practical level, and share with them what you have going on.<\/p>\n Monday late morning<\/strong>, a Sun\/Mercury alignment in almost 19 degrees of Scorpio<\/strong><\/em> becomes exact at 10:22am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week Sunday morning <\/strong>(Nov. 10th) on; it will remain strong until this Tuesday evening<\/strong>. Mercury aligns with the Sun quite frequently, but we may not always be able to see this transit from the US;\u00a0the last time this transit of Mercury across the Sun was visible from the US was in 2016, and the next time will be in 2039.<\/p>\n Generally speaking, when the Sun and Mercury come together, we are especially sharp, communicative, and open. This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life.<\/p>\n Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks — we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.\u00a0Words matter now, so choose them wisely: If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?<\/p>\n Our opinions are usually strong during this time; we like to think independently and are proud of our opinions and our thoughts. For this reason, our egos might get bruised if we are not “heard” — if our opinions are pushed aside, ignored or criticized. As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have different opinions\u2026 and that’s ok.<\/p>\n The Sun\/Mercury alignment in\u00a0Scorpio<\/strong><\/em> brings a heightened focus towards thinking about the unknown, facing our worst fears, or dealing with loss in some way — in particular, letting go of the “old” to let in the “new”.<\/p>\n If we remain attached to the “old” (through fear of letting go of it to meet the “new”), we are likely to experience this as a dark, difficult transition in our lives — but if not, it could help us build inner strength and show us what cannot be taken away \u2014 we will see at last that nothing outside of us can take away the power and resilience that lives inside of us.<\/p>\n Our thinking may become obsessive — but becoming controlling (or even paranoid) may not serve us — choose your battles wisely and seek to provide empowerment wherever possible.<\/p>\n Since Mercury is also still Retrograde, ask yourself: What has come up for me since Mercury entered its Shadow phase on Oct. 11th? What, if anything, have I already revisited or even re-processed since Mercury went retrograde back on Oct. 31st?<\/p>\n What am I still obsessing about? Scared about? When or where do I still focus on “worst case scenarios” that are connected to past traumas or disempowerments? What if I surrendered my fears 5% more completely than I have in the past? What if I gave myself 5% more freedom to sense my inner strength, my fierce, open heart, and the passionate love for life that is pumping through my veins, right now, in this moment? What place of power would I stand in then?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-22 degrees of Scorpio, Taurus, <\/strong>Leo<\/strong>, <\/strong>or Aquarius<\/strong>?\u00a0If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Leo, Gemini<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Virgo<\/strong>\u00a0(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)<\/em><\/p>\n Monday evening<\/strong>, we are invited to make some internal adjustments: We may want to …<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n ALREADY A MEMBER?

We started to feel this Lunation build from the moment the Moon entered Taurus last week, on Sunday evening <\/strong>(Nov. 10th).\u00a0 If you are currently a Member of my online community<\/em>, feel free to watch my video on the subject.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n All Full Moons\u00a0offer opportunities for us to see things in a new light \u2014 and they guide us away from polarization and division, toward\u00a0balance and integration. Full Moons also illuminate the truth and consequences of our choices — and this particular Full Moon provides a double dose of that.<\/p>\n The\u00a0Sun is in\u00a0Scorpio<\/strong>\u00a0and the Moon is in\u00a0Taurus<\/strong><\/em>;\u00a0not only that,\u00a0we are also dealing here with a\u00a0Sun\/Mercury alignment in\u00a0Scorpio<\/strong><\/em> —\u00a0and with Mercury being Retrograde<\/em>, its energy feels stronger inside of us.\u00a0Because of the Retrograde component, this is an inner journey, an intuitive process. You may recall that I talked a little about this in the last New Moon video and in my “Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio\u201d webinar \u00a0(which is still available for purchase until Nov. 13th!<\/strong>)<\/p>\n We can ask ourselves here<\/strong>: What regrets, resentments, and misunderstandings need to be reconciled? Mercury Retrograde<\/em> helps us recognize the part we played, the lessons we learned, and the necessity of forgiving everyone involved (even including ourselves).<\/p>\n Because of its retrograde status, Mercury will spend a little over two months in\u00a0Scorpio<\/strong>, the sign most concerned with emotionally authentic relationships. This provides extra opportunities for integrating our “shadow” and healing any relationships issues connected to intimacy, honesty, or trust \u2014 and the latter may include core issues around shared resources and power struggles. (Oct. 3rd until Dec. 9th, 2019)<\/p>\n Neptune in\u00a0Pisces<\/strong>\u00a0is stationing<\/em>\u00a0at the time of the Full Moon, and therefore exalted<\/em>, bringing a heightened sensitivity towards our surroundings (including fellow humans and other beings); a gentler, more intuitive approach works very well here.<\/p>\n We also get a chance to see how far we have come since the New Moon phase<\/em> began on Oct. 27th – 28th, so\u00a0ask yourself:\u00a0<\/strong> Now let’s look at\u00a0the\u00a0Scorpio\/Taurus\u00a0polarity<\/strong>\u00a0in more detail:<\/p>\n This Full Moon has both a Taurus<\/strong> and a Scorpio<\/strong> spotlight \u2014 one spotlights our relationship to… To read the whole article and get all the Coaching questions for this month, click here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-22 degrees of\u00a0Taurus, Scorpio, Aquarius<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Leo<\/strong>? If so, you are more affected by this month’s Full Moon.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Leo<\/strong> or Cancer<\/strong>\u00a0(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).<\/em><\/p>\n Tuesday at 10:48am EST<\/strong>, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for 17 hours until 3:46am EST<\/strong> (Wednesday early morning). Use this intuitive time to empower each other in regards to earthly issues and mutually support each other in practical ways.<\/p>\n As always with a\u00a0Moon VoC<\/a>, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday morning until Wednesday early morning ahead of time.<\/p>\n Tuesday afternoon<\/strong>, an opportune Mars\/Jupiter aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 1:21pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last week, Thursday night <\/strong>(Nov. 7th) on; it will be strong until this Saturday evening. <\/strong>This aspect is an opportunity for us to tap into our optimism, enthusiasm and sense of expansion. We are more likely to connect with others in an active and fun way.<\/p>\n We feel stronger, more assertive, and more straightforward — and this goes over well with others. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it.<\/p>\n Ask yourself:\u00a0What action could I take right now, that would help create expansive collaborations, and support everyone involved in learning from each other? What perspectives or attitudes would support a “win-win” outcome in my relationships\/partnerships?<\/p>\n Since Jupiter will be switching signs soon<\/em>, we are at the last stretch of this particular growth experience \u2014 so let’s make it count! We will address\u00a0Jupiter’s shift from\u00a0Sagittarius<\/strong> to\u00a0 Capricorn<\/strong><\/em> in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum (live tomorrow, Wednesday Nov. 13th<\/strong>)\u2026 and if you’d like to find out how this planet’s one-year transit might impact you personally, join us!<\/a><\/p>\n If you are already a\u00a0Star\u00a0<\/strong>or\u00a0SuperStar Member,<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0watch out for an email on the day of the webinar with a link to join the live event, and another later that day with the link to the mp4-video presentation.<\/p>\n If you are a\u00a0Universal Member,<\/strong><\/em> you can purchase a\u00a0registration for this month only,<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0take the plunge and\u00a0upgrade to Star\u00a0or\u00a0Superstar Membership<\/a>, so you can\u00a0join us every month at no extra charge!<\/strong><\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-28 degrees of Libra, Sagittarius<\/strong>, Aquarius<\/strong> or Leo<\/strong>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries<\/strong> or Sagittarius<\/strong> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius)<\/em><\/p>\n Wednesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus<\/strong><\/em> and VoC<\/a> until 3:46am EST<\/strong>; at that time<\/strong>, the Moon moves into chatty, versatile Gemini<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Friday late morning<\/strong>.<\/p>\n For the next two days<\/strong>, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. “Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way… The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Wednesday morning<\/strong>, an opportune Mercury\/Saturn aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 9:35am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Monday evening on, it will remain strong until Thursday.<\/strong> This is an opportunity to take responsibility for our thinking structures and be really honest with ourselves.<\/p>\n How can we get the most from this opportunity? By allowing ourselves to go deeper as we investigate our fear-based thinking or self-defeating behaviors. Commit to understanding your conditioning and thinking processes.<\/p>\n If we take this chance to see things more clearly and connect to ourselves more deeply, we could get a good dose of reality, and an ability to focus on long-term issues. Remember: opportunities are openings; they aren’t necessarily handed to us — we have to “take” them and make something of them.<\/p>\n Due to the Mercury Retrograde phase,<\/em> we get to experience this particular aspect several times; the first time Mercury connected to Saturn in this way was on Oct. 14th — so\u00a0think back to that time<\/strong>: What came up? What did you discover about your thinking patterns? How can you become more self-responsible when it comes to your conditioning or autopilot behaviors and attitudes? Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 14-19 degrees of Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Virgo<\/strong>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Gemini, Virgo<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Capricorn<\/strong> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn).<\/em><\/p>\n Wednesday before 12pm EST<\/strong>, is your very last chance to sign up for today’s FORECASTING FORUM. Please note<\/strong> that we\u2019ll be talking about Jupiter’s one year transit through Capricorn<\/strong><\/em> (starting Dec. 2nd), as well as Neptune’s Station phase in Pisces<\/strong> (Nov. 8th — Dec. 15th), in relationship to our own birth charts. If you want to know how this is going to impact you personally, join me live or<\/em> register for the mp4-video presentation.<\/p>\n Other than\u00a0booking a reading\u00a0with me<\/a>, this is the highest level of support you can get — and it’s\u00a0only $37<\/a> for the 90+ minute webinar (plus, it also includes this month’s powerful Full Moon video). To register now, click here<\/a><\/p>\n If you\u00a0would like to join live<\/strong>, please keep in mind that registration will close an hour before the live event begins,<\/strong> if you register after 12pm EST on Wednesday you will receive the mp4-video presentation of the webinar. Star <\/em>and SuperStar Members<\/em>, check your emails for the link to join!<\/p>\n Wednesday afternoon<\/strong>, an opportune Sun\/Pluto aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 1:00pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until Friday evening<\/strong>. This is an opportunity to bring a deeper emotional connection to whatever needs restructuring or rebuilding.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also an opportunity to notice how obsessed we\u2019ve become about manifesting something real — and to let go of fears connected to our long-term goals. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to make something of it.<\/p>\n \u2028\u2028Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces<\/strong> or Virgo<\/strong>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Leo or Scorpio (the Sun rules Leo; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)<\/em><\/p>\n Wednesday late afternoon<\/strong>, a harmonious Mercury\/Neptune aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 5:34pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Monday<\/strong> on; it will be strong until this Saturday.<\/strong> This aspect supports imaginative thinking and the ability to connect our day-to-day mind with our intuition.<\/p>\n We pick up on what is going on with people, and can flow with that, as we can sense how our words land. This heightened sensitivity to subtle signals also opens us to metaphysical or spiritual concepts, visual arts, poetry — and to commercial messaging from advertisers and marketers.<\/p>\n As with the Mercury\/Saturn aspect\u00a0above, Mercury’s Retrograde phase will mean we experience this particular aspect several times. The first time Mercury connected to Neptune in this way was on Oct.15th — so\u00a0think back to that time<\/strong>: What came up? What did you discover about your imaginative thinking or intuitive listening? Are you drawn towards instinctive imaginings based on fear stemming from past experiences? Or are you moving towards intuitive imagination based on an open-hearted future?<\/p>\n Do you have any of your personal planets or Ascendant in 13-19 degrees of Scorpio, Pisces<\/strong> or Cancer<\/strong>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Gemini, Virgo<\/strong> or Pisces<\/strong> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).<\/em><\/p>\n Thursday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Wednesday early morning for details).<\/p>\n Thursday morning<\/strong>, we are asked to balance our need for mentally stimulating encounters with our desire to venture beyond our day-to-day mind in order to connect with others on a more philosophical level. What’s the larger picture? What are we here to do? What are we here to be?\u00a0Why now?<\/p>\n Also, Thursday morning<\/strong>, we are required to make some adjustments — and we may need to do a little stretching and growing, when it comes to our inner or emotional experiences. As best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, seek to understand before seeking to be understood.<\/p>\n Thursday late morning<\/strong>, we may experience some internal discomfort and need to make some inner adjustments. We feel nudged toward being responsible and building something that will last long-term — even if that means slowing down and taking it on step at a time. Thursday early afternoon<\/strong>, a challenging Venus\/Neptune aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 12:06pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday very early morning on; it will remain strong until Saturday evening<\/strong>. \u00a0We might be confused, unrealistic, or overly idealistic around love and money — so it’s best to wait until the transit is over, before making big moves in these areas — if you make long-term financial investments, buy or sell big-ticket items, or start brand-new relationships, it’s likely you will not see things as they truly are.<\/p>\n We are actually being asked to have faith; to let our intuition guide us in money and love — if we are able to do this, we will grow through it. As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others during these 4.5 days — it might also help to know that relationships and endeavors of a spiritual or artistic nature can move forward at this time.<\/p>\n You could ask yourself: What might be possible if I allowed myself to shift from my conditioning (i.e. my social filters), to feeling, sensing, or simply connecting to the truth of who I am, the essence of “I AM THAT”? Are there any relationships (the one to myself included) that are asking for a shift in perspective? Or for forgiveness? Compassion?<\/p>\n You may also want to double-check yourself when it comes to physical indulgences (unhealthy foods, excessive or unsafe sex) or strong desires for escapism (alcohol, drugs, love, religion, cults). If there was a way to fully honor your spiritual Self in your relationships without the need to lose yourself in the process… what might that way be?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 13-19 degrees of Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Virgo<\/strong>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Taurus, Libra<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Pisces<\/strong>\u00a0(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).<\/em><\/p>\n Thursday evening<\/strong>, feels a little uneasy. We need to develop an inner awareness around our two seemingly opposite pulls: on the one hand, a strong desire for accomplishment,\u00a0on the other, our need to make connections and exchange information.<\/p>\n We are asked to bring awareness to whatever it is we feel most passionate about: Are we after superficial exchanges? Or intense and authentic emotion? As best as you can, make adjustments as needed, and drop any self-judgment.<\/em><\/p>\n Friday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini<\/strong><\/em> until 11:15am EST<\/strong> (see Wednesday early morning for details).<\/p>\n Friday early morning<\/strong>, we are invited to balance our desire for sharing and gathering information with our desire to go beyond learned knowledge and tap into a greater wisdom that helps us grow and expand mentally, physically or spiritually.<\/p>\n Friday at 6:40am EST<\/strong>, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for 4.5 hours until 11:15am EST<\/strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with others, socialize, and share information with them.<\/p>\n
