This week’s headline items: <\/strong>Neptune is still exalted all week (until Dec. 17th) — due to its Station phase in 20.5 degrees of Pisces; the Balsamic Moon phase begins on Tuesday evening; Neptune ends its 5-month Retrograde phase on Wednesday morning; a powerful New Moon\/Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius becomes exact on Saturday very early morning.<\/p>\nThere will be three\u00a0Moon VoC<\/a> phases this week: Tuesday very late evening (for 7.5 hours); Thursday night\/Friday very early morning (for almost 7 hours); and Saturday night\/Sunday very early morning (for almost 6.5 hours).<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n If you are still looking for some holiday gifts for your friends or family, consider giving them:<\/p>\n ==> If you already have all of your gifts <\/strong>or<\/em> you don’t know anyone who is into Astrology, <\/strong>consider asking for one of the above gift ideas for yourself from a friend or relative!!! After all, it’s what you love!<\/p>\n Monday, <\/strong>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <\/em>Virgo and VoC<\/em><\/a><\/strong> until 3:55am EST; at that time, <\/strong>the Moon<\/em> moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking<\/em> Libra, <\/strong>where it will journey until Wednesday morning; <\/strong>The energy of the\u00a0Libra<\/strong>\u00a0Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.<\/p>\n We very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating; these next two days are a great time for mediation — but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to “yes” more easily than we might like.<\/p>\n We may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can’t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm — even if it’s “No” \ud83d\ude09 One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.<\/p>\n Monday morning, <\/strong>a harmonious Mars\/Neptune aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 9:10am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Wednesday evening<\/strong> (Nov. 24th) on; and it will remain strong until this Friday evening <\/strong>(Dec. 3rd). <\/strong>This aspect brings the ability to endow what we feel passionate about with our creativity — and connect it to a higher love. \u2028\u2028Our animalistic, instinctual\/survival nature is able to connect to compassion and understanding.<\/p>\n We can now bring light to all of our inner dark places; through loving ourselves, we can transform that darkness into the gift of feeling powerfully connected to ourselves. \u2028\u2028As this aspect is taking place in Scorpio<\/strong>\u00a0and Pisces<\/strong>, we are connecting to our goals and dreams from an emotional place that is deeply spiritual and transformational. We are able to let go of our fears and attachments and are able to have faith that everything will turn out just as it needs to.<\/p>\n Those of us who have our Ascendant (or personal planets) in 17-24 degrees of Scorpio<\/strong>, Pisces,<\/strong> or Cancer<\/strong> will be touched in a particularly beautiful way by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries<\/strong> or Pisces<\/strong> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune rules Pisces)<\/em><\/p>\n Monday evening, <\/strong>a harmonious Mercury\/Chiron aspect<\/em>\u00a0becomes exact at 9:41pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Saturday evening <\/strong>(Nov. 27th) on; and it will remain strong until this Wednesday evening<\/strong>.<\/strong> This aspect is a wonderful possibility for active healing in regards to our conditioning and day-to-day thinking structures.<\/p>\n We can bring compassion, both for ourselves and for others, to communications that trigger us. We are able to allow more space for the “bigger picture” as we share our stories. Acceptance and understanding of our own and others’ “Human-ness ” come more easily now. Humor can be a helpful way to explore our own humanity…<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-12 degrees of Sagittarius, Aries<\/strong>, or Leo<\/strong>? An Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini<\/strong> or Virgo?\u00a0<\/strong>If so, you will be…<\/em><\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n ALREADY A MEMBER? <\/strong>Scroll down & keep reading (make sure you are logged into your\u00a0Member’s account<\/a>)!<\/p>\n GET IT ALL! Get the whole Forecast<\/strong> — as well as other awesome and exclusive content — become a<\/strong>\u00a0site member <\/strong><\/a>\u2028(still, for the price of a cappuccino!) \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n *** Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-12 degrees of Sagittarius, Aries<\/strong>, or Leo<\/strong>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini<\/strong> or Virgo<\/strong> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo).<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tuesday\u00a0was quite a big day <\/strong>(astrologically speaking)!\u00a0The Moon remains in<\/em> harmony-loving, balance-seeking<\/em> Libra all day<\/strong> (see Monday early morning for details).<\/em><\/p>\n Tuesday very early morning<\/strong>, an opportune Mercury\/Saturn aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 2:19am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Sunday evening <\/strong>(Nov. 28th) on; and it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning.\u00a0<\/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? Through honest communication, we have a chance to clear up any misunderstandings. As best as you can, allow yourself to see the bigger picture and transcend your conditioned, automatic responses. A good place to start is with a commitment to better understand your conditioning and thought processes.<\/p>\n If we take this chance to see things more clearly and connect to ourselves more lovingly, 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.\u2028<\/strong><\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 6-11 degrees of Sagittarius, Aquarius,\u00a0Libra, <\/strong>or Aries?<\/strong> If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, <\/strong>or Capricorn<\/strong> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn)<\/em><\/p>\n Tuesday morning<\/strong>, a harmonious Sun\/Chiron aspect <\/em>becomes exact at 9:38am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Saturday evening<\/strong> (Nov. 27th) on; and it will remain strong until this Friday morning. <\/strong>This creates a supportive environment for healing our insecurities.<\/p>\n We can bring greater awareness to our feelings of shame around our masculine energies, and any self-deprecating thoughts or behaviors. Paradoxically, we have the chance to shine, largely because we project openness and modesty. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths. Where might this be true for you?<\/p>\n Something else that supports healing our insecurities is a sense that we are pursuing a worthy goal — this could be something as simple as a desire to explore and go beyond what we already know, or simply accepting our own human complexities while we are on “our mission”.\u2028<\/strong><\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or one or more personal planets) in 5-12 degrees Sagittarius, Aries, Leo<\/strong>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo<\/strong> (as the Sun rules Leo).<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Tuesday afternoon, <\/strong>an opportune Venus\/Neptune aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 3:46pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Saturday evening <\/strong>(Nov. 27th) on; and it will remain strong until this Saturday evening.<\/strong> This is an opportunity for compassion and kindness in our social and work-related interactions. We are more attuned to the subtleties of human interaction and are more inclined to naturally cooperate with others.<\/p>\n We tend to “feel” each other on an energetic level now, a sensitive approach is therefore recommended. This is also an opportunity for imaginative or romantic interactions. Remember: opportunities are openings; they aren’t necessarily handed to us — we have to “take” them and make something of them.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of\u00a0Capricorn, Pisces, Scorpio,<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Taurus<\/strong>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Taurus<\/strong>,\u00a0Libra,<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Pisces<\/strong>\u00a0(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).<\/em><\/p>\n Tuesday early evening, <\/strong>an opportune Sun\/Saturn aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 6:14pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Sunday evening <\/strong>(Nov. 28th) on; and it will remain strong until this Thursday evening.<\/strong>\u00a0This aspect provides an opportunity to become aware of what needs to happen if we are to accomplish something concrete.<\/p>\n We have common sense at our disposal; we are willing to look reality in the eye and take responsibility for our life and how we live it. This is an opportunity to become more aware of the bigger picture and our perspectives on society and our various networks or affiliations — and also how a larger view could benefit us, both in terms of our long-term visions within the collective, and for our own individual journey of growth and expanded horizons.<\/p>\n Remember: opportunities are openings, they aren’t necessarily handed to us — we have to “take” them and make something of them.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 7-11 degrees of Sagittarius, Aquarius,\u00a0Libra, <\/span><\/strong>or Aries<\/strong>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo<\/strong> or Capricorn<\/strong> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn).<\/em><\/p>\n Tuesday evening<\/strong>, around 9:30 pm\u00a0EST<\/strong>, the <\/em>Balsamic Moon phase begins<\/em> when the Moon reaches 24\u00ba of Libra<\/strong>.<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>This lasts until Saturday very early morning<\/b>, when the New Moon\/Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius<\/b> becomes exact (more on that later this week… however, feel free to watch my Solar Eclipse video now — click here<\/b>.<\/a><\/p>\n We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition. For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath, and exhale any tensions.<\/p>\n Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes, especially those that got started at the time of the last Solar Eclipse, on or after June 10th.<\/p>\n This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us.\u00a0What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?<\/p>\n Tuesday late evening,<\/strong> at<\/strong> 11:20pm EST<\/strong>, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for 7.5 hours,\u00a0until 6:55am EST <\/strong>(Wednesday morning). Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with like-minded people, expand each other’s minds, and collaborate in a way that allows you to see the bigger picture.<\/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 late evening until Wednesday morning\u00a0ahead of time.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Wednesday, <\/strong>the Moon remains in<\/em> harmony-loving, balance-seeking<\/em> Libra<\/strong> and VoC<\/a> until 6:55am EST <\/strong>(see Monday early morning for details).<\/em><\/p>\n Wednesday, at 6:55am EST, <\/strong>the Moon moves into<\/em> passionate, all-or-nothing <\/em>Scorpio<\/strong>, <\/em>where it will journey until Friday morning<\/strong>. Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever… as long as our trust is never betrayed.<\/p>\n The Moon in\u00a0Scorpio<\/strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction — it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us — making this an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits, or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.<\/p>\n Moon in\u00a0Scorpio<\/strong>\u00a0tends to run right over ambiguity — it’s “in or out”, “with us or against us”, “love me or leave me”. It can therefore be stormy — a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we “work” the energies \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Manipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so be as straightforward as you can manage, act in good faith, and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings — no matter if they’re “polite” or “timely”. Feelings aren’t facts, but they are information — and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.<\/p>\n Know thyself — and love thyself — you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes “Force” to show up — and that’s ultimately what disempowers us and others.<\/p>\n Wednesday morning, at 8:22am EST, <\/strong>Neptune comes to a halt at 20.5 degrees of Pisces<\/strong>, <\/em>ending its 5-month Retrograde phase that started on June 25th, and starts to move forward again. The emotional nature of Neptune feels confusing and overwhelming at times. As Neptune will be moving through Pisces until 2025, our understanding of interconnectedness is going to grow; our collective spiritual and emotional sides will slowly evolve.<\/p>\n We can see how connected we are to our Higher Self\/The Universe\/Source. What’s more, we have an opportunity to dissolve any barriers between us and our Soul’s guidance. Are we sensing our Soul’s desire for love and oneness to the fullest? Are we connecting to our intuition? Is anything keeping us from experiencing the flow of life?<\/p>\n As Neptune slowly starts to pick up speed again, it will bring our focus back to the outside world. We are now ready to implement the things we have been connecting to internally for the past 5 months. What did you discover about the universal flow and your intuition since June 25th?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, your Career point, or any of your personal planets in 18-23 degrees of Pisces, Virgo,\u00a0Gemini, <\/strong>or Sagittarius<\/strong>? If you do, you may feel the effects of the Neptune station more than others.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Pisces<\/strong>\u00a0(Neptune rules Pisces): This is a great time to use what you learned in the last 5 months about your connection to Source — and perhaps to allow yourself to connect more fully to the flow of life, and let yourself be inspired \u2014 even more than most other people.<\/em>\u2028<\/em><\/p>\n Wednesday evening, <\/strong>a somewhat challenging Mercury\/Uranus aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 9:15pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on and it will remain strong until Thursday evening. <\/strong>This aspect also operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward — and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we are to see what needs adjusting.<\/p>\n It could be hard to make decisions under this influence, as we tend to doubt our perceptions or our problem-solving ability. It may also be hard to read the intention behind the words used to communicate, leading to misunderstandings: we tend to feel uncomfortable — a sort of “inner itchiness”.<\/p>\n As best you can, give yourself time to respond rather than react — allow your breath to ground you — and be as flexible as possible without compromising your values.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 11-13 degrees of Sagittarius<\/strong> or Taurus<\/strong>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo,<\/strong> or\u00a0Aquarius<\/strong> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Uranus rules Aquarius).<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Thursday, <\/strong>the Moon remains in<\/em> passionate, all-or-nothing <\/em>Scorpio all day <\/strong>(see Wednesday morning for details).<\/em><\/p>\n Thursday afternoon: <\/strong>we are likely to experience a sense of ease and flow but may need to slow down and allow our feelings to come through. A gentle approach is best. We feel good when coming from the heart and making deeper connections with others. Being open to receiving, trusting the process, and going with the flow are the keys! (Moon in Scorpio <\/strong>trines Neptune in Pisces<\/strong>,<\/em> exact at 3:58pm EST)<\/p>\n Thursday late afternoon, <\/strong>is an opportunity to connect with others on an authentic level. What if you let yourself trust others in the mutual pursuit of realistic, practical goals?\u00a0(Moon in Scorpio <\/strong>sextiles Venus in Capricorn<\/strong>,<\/em> exact at 5:52pm EST)<\/p>\n Thursday evening, <\/strong>take actions on things you feel passionate about, or on projects connected to intimate\/financial partnerships; digging deeper into your own psyche, and allowing yourself to surrender your fears, your need to be in control, or your need to be in power might also be a good use of this time. (Moon in Scorpio <\/strong>conjuncts Mars in Scorpio<\/strong>,<\/em> exact at 7:45pm EST)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Thursday late evening, <\/strong>we feel good about making deeper connections; we’ll have an opportunity to become fully committed to a project or task, something that might serve us long-term. (Moon in Scorpio <\/strong>sextiles Pluto in Capricorn<\/strong>,<\/em> exact at 11:26pm EST)<\/p>\n Thursday night<\/strong>\/Friday very early morning,\u00a0at<\/strong> 12:22am EST<\/strong>, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC)<\/a> which lasts for almost 7 hours until 7:13am EST, <\/strong>Friday morning. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life and find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. As best as you can, look to expand your perspectives around any visions and hopes you hold for the future or humanity, and find ways to take care of your need for deeper, more intimate connections.<\/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 Friday very early morning until morning ahead of time.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Friday, <\/strong>the Moon<\/em> remains in<\/em> passionate, all-or-nothing <\/em>Scorpio <\/strong>and VoC<\/a> until 7:13am EST\u00a0<\/strong>(see Wednesday morning for details).<\/em><\/p>\n Friday is the last day <\/i><\/b>before the Solar Eclipse in <\/i>Sagittarius <\/i><\/b>becomes exact. There is some potent energy coming our way; it would be wise to prepare ourselves to be transformed by it, allowing for our consciousness upgrade to be installed. Feel free to watch my video about this powerful New Moon\/Solar Eclipse<\/a>, if you haven’t seen it yet \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n This is a good time to slow things down and go within<\/strong>. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.<\/p>\n It comes down to this:<\/strong> just for now and just as best as you can… could you simply allow what is… to be? Could you simply be the \u201cobserver\u201d until the upgrade is complete?<\/p>\n Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things. Think back to June 10th<\/strong> \u2014 the time of the last Solar Eclipse. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?<\/p>\n As best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse<\/b> for meditation, contemplation, journaling \u2014 anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and visions.<\/p>\n Of course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and be with yourself (i.e. your inspirational Self, your higher mind). Ask yourself:<\/b> What might become possible if I gave this to myself on a regular basis?<\/p>\n Friday at 7:13am EST, <\/strong>Before we get to this week\u2019s forecast, I\u2019d like to offer:<\/h3>\n
