What is going on this week?

I'm sorry I didn't get this up on Sunday.   I am wrapping up a three week stretch of big commitments.  The kind that make your head hurt.    Anyway, I'll be breathing soon right in time for the holiday crunch.  Lord.   Anyway let's look at this week. 

There are a few days to watch this cycle, in particular; on November 10  Mars and Pluto were  in conjunction in Capricorn.   People may have been imploding or if we were lucky everyone was doing a big evolution.    On November 12 Mars and Uranus will get into a tussle bringing out disruptions and arguments.   If we are all smart we’ll go out and run a marathon or do something physical to get the energy out.  Many of us will have to duck and cover.  Are you going to hide from a fight that you should be in?  Are you going too hard for a fight and need to adjust?   Then  on November 13 the Sun and Jupiter will get into a pushing match.   Watch out for some loud egos.  Also espionage versus brute force could be taking place globally and personally.   Put on your spy hat, 007.

Disseminating

9:30 pm EDT

Disseminating Moon Phase

Focus on:  How are you sharing your feelings?  How are you sharing your family? How are you sharing your coziness?   Who is sharing with you and what are you learning from them?  How are people coming to you to learn about feelings and emotions?   What are you learning about food?

Special focus:

11/11: Mercury/Neptune: Inspired thinking and communications.  Writing elevated. 

11/12: Venus/Saturn:  Love feels cold.  Creativity needs to be concrete.  Or why bother?

11/12: Mars/Uranus:  Rough.  Explosive.  Cold, tough,  Argumentative, Disruption. Surrender or evolve. 

11/13: Sun/Jupiter:  Power versus Ego.  Push meets big shove.   Espionage vs Brute Force.

Last Quarter Moon Phase

November 14

3:12 pm EDT

Last Quarter moon:  Now we do the final adjustments to the seeds we planted on new. The final call, the final letters to send, we follow all the trails that came up that still make sense.  And we let the other parts lay fallow. It is a time of action but wise action.  It is a time for living  “The serenity prayer”

God, grant me the Serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change Courage to change the
things I can, and the
Wisdom to know the difference.

Focus on:

What actions can you take that speak to your self-esteem?  What actions can you take that make you feel good with pride and support the seeds you planted on new moon?   Where are you using strength and courage?  

Special focus:

11/16: Neptune turns direct 2:05am est  (Post will follow)

11/16: Mercury/Pluto:  Thoughts and communication are overhauled. 

11/16 Venus in Sagittarius

Taurus Full Moon

I am so sorry that I can't put up my own write up of full moon in Taurus. My schedule is collapsing in front of me.

But I did find some write ups that I think are smart.

Here is Mystic Mamma's write up.

And here is Virgo Magics's write up.

This Week

Gibbous Moon

November 3

7:10am  EDT  

Gibbous:

We refine our information.  We pick and choose, we discriminate, and we organize to be ‘Virgo’ like.  We sort through details.  Have we missed something?  How are we sifting through the information?  Go back and make sure something hasn’t been neglected.  Refine our actions. 

Focus on:

Where are YOU?  What about your place in making your life work on all pistons, are you doing it?  How are you neglecting your energy?   What does it look like if you use the next three days being completely self motivated?  

Special Focus:

11/3: Sun/Pluto: Depth in life affirming evolution.   Time for something die so something wonderful can be born.

Full Moon Phase

Lunar Phase

November 6  2014

6:50am  EDT

Lunar Eclipse

Full Moon:  We make the needed adjustments on the things we planted. Usually emotions are up and running and for those people who perhaps did not utilize the new moon and the rest of the waxing moon, this is when emotions can get the better of us.  There can often be a big emotional break, for no other reason than to get back on track.   Some partnership will offer up some balance.  The moon is bright and full and there is no room for shadows, what is reflecting on you? 

Focus on:  This full moon is focused on your possessions.  How are your properties?  How are your things?   It is also focused on your ability to build something up from the ground.    What are you building upon that needs your daily sometimes hard work?   What can you do bit by bit?    How can you be the tortoise and win the race?

There will be a Full Moon Post in a couple days.  Check back.

Dear Lord....counting the minutes

Mercury will be going direct tomorrow October 25 at 3:09pm EDT......and not a moment (nails on a chalkboard) too soon.

By the way this is a good site to check out for Mercury Paths.

Scorpio New Moon. Solar Eclipse

As always I find the Mercury retrograde a wee bit challenging to my schedule.  To say the least.  Anyway,  I just posted the Scorpio New Moon Eclipse report with about about ninty minutes to spare before the eclipse.   Yeah, that is just how I'm rolling these days.

I am excited by this New Moon Solar Eclipse.   It is the beginning a new cycle that I think will benefit us all --if we are paying attention.   You will find the whole article on Margaret Wendt's website.  

Here is a snippet to article

Welcome to Scorpio New Moon.

And Happy Solar Eclipse.

We’re in an exciting period because this New Moon at 0 Scorpio will be followed by Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces New Moons all at 0 degrees. Obviously the Universe wants us to get a new start with all five of these signs.  And after the hell we’ve been through for the last three years with the cardinal crosses, we deserve new energies.  Big time. 

Of course this new moon is not just a new moon at 0 degrees it is also an eclipse.  With a solar eclipse there is something hidden that is being stirred up.  We want to be able to see it but it is in shadow.   However, even though things might not be out in front and clearly identified we still ‘know’ something.  That is the gift of an eclipse.   It speaks to us on a deep shadowy level.   Coincidentally, Scorpio is a sign that understands and hangs out in shadows.   So we are double downing in shadow energy.   It is worth noting that because something is in shadow does not mean it is always nefarious.  

Given this eclipse is at 0 degrees we are all probably ready to go deep and find this thing that pulsates in us.    The last time we had a solar eclipse at 0 degrees Scorpio was in October 1995.   I mentioned to a fellow astrologer how weird it is that the ’95 eclipse took place three weeks after the OJ verdict and this eclipse is taking place one week after the Oscar Pistorius trial.    Not sure why athletes and crime lines up with it but it did strike me odd.   Personally, everyone should look back to October ’95 and ask what got stirred then and how did things unfold during the next year?   Would you do it differently now?   What did you learn then and how did you evolve between that eclipse in October and April 1996 at the next eclipse.  It is worth you going through your diary or calendar to mull those activities at that time.  Our next solar eclipse is March 20^th.  What will evolve between now and then? 

Scorpio is the second water sign of the zodiac.  Back in July we swam in the first water cycle during Cancer.   In Scorpio the water is deeper and swifter.   In Cancer we were swimming on the shore with huge emotions like tsunami waves crashing on us.  We learned to process our emotions by riding up or diving through them.    Now with Scorpio we are once again processing our emotions but we are also using them to motivate us.  We harness them like Hoover Dam harnesses the Colorado River.

What is the deal this week?

There.  Read that a few times.  

On Sunday (10/19) we went into Balsamic Phase.  We know this is the time of the lunar cycle when we let go......  Why do we release?  So that we can be ready for the New Moon on 10/23.     This particular Balsamic phase we are needing to release our crappy petty small minded side that is rooted in anxiety and insecurity.   Let it go, please.

Balsamic Moon Phase

October 19

6:13pm  EDT   

Balsamic:   We let go.  By releasing we can prepare for the new. 

Focus on We release our negativity.  We release our need to know everything. We release nervousness.  We release our narrow-mindedness.  We release our hypochondria.   We release our insecurities.    

Special focus:

10/19: Venus/Mars: Creativity in relationships.  Action that reflects values.  Money and love smartness is highlighted.

10/20:  Mercury/Jupiter.   Encouraged thinking and talking.  Vigorous and fun talks.
