Hey! Howdy! Happy Sunday, Happy November and welcome to your weekly astro weather for the 3rd- 9th…big week here in these United States. While I am typically pretty politically neutral, more a-political I think, but I’d encourage you to get out and exercise your right to vote…maybe like your sanity depends on it. It’s a right not afforded to all people of the world and if we want to see some change, we probably need to step up and be part of it. There, that’s it for this PSA! Haha It’s a relatively quiet week as far as interplanetary alignments not involving the Moon are concerned but there is so much opportunity for things to be happening relative to previous and coming weeks’ alignments. We still have 5 planets, out of 8 possible, retrograde and the moon hits up Leo, Virgo, Libra and Scorpio this week.
And she is busy, busy on Monday, connecting with, amongst others, all three fast moving personal planets: Mercury, Mars and Venus…and both Venus and Mercury are currently Rx…obsession and rumination are not so much possible as likely under this influence. If you find your brain on an endless loop of perseverating thoughts, especially about people, places, and things from the past, this would be why. Catching some new insights is possible too, seeing something from a previously unseen perspective. Some will see…unable to “unsee” actually, some parts of life where they haven’t been their most true authentic Self and these things are likely to become quite intolerable now. “To be yourself is all that you can be” (Audioslave!)
Tuesday midmorning carries an opening to new things, new ideas, new curiosities, unexpected new ways of expressing the Self. It is possible opinions might be voiced from mouths that don’t typically voice personal opinions. There is opportunity to do right things for right reasons. And that carries over into Wednesday. It feels potentially revelatory, like having the “hard conversation” rather that glossing over in the interest of keeping a fragile peace. No bu****it about it. And an election happening with 2 of 3 personal planets Rx, especially with Mercury being one, is historically correlated with late or ambiguous or contested results as well as potential reversals…so don’t be too shocked if the evening ends with some undeclared races.
Thursday is an important starting point in the story that will be the upcoming Mars retrograde. From Thursday on, it is time to start noting things that come up because Mars passes over the point in the sky that he will return to over the course of his next retrograde. As I’ve been preaching to my year ahead peeps, you really want to handle some of the hard things that come up between now and January 10th. After that, after that they might just get handled for you! We will talk more about Mars retrograde when we get into January, but the god of war’s Rxs are the most rare and typically the most destructive and it is best to bust hard bold moves now while we have some say in the matter. Once he starts backtracking, he will absolutely burn s**t to the ground as necessary. If you are familiar with your natal chart, the intersection of Virgo and Leo are the areas of life to start watching. More to follow…
Friday the cosmos take a big, long break and Saturday morning opens to a more peaceful, social, even fun vibe. Seems like a lovely day to get out and do something! By early evening…and remember, it’s going to be getting dark pretty early now, the feeling shifts toward introspection, possibly easy irritation. So maybe execute the things your think about first thing earlier in the day so you aren’t annoyed with yourself for making plans you have no interest in following thru with! haha
First thing Sunday morning, in contrast to the day prior, feels irritable. Harsh words are a distinct possibility as are rehashing the same old s**t! You know, every relationship, regardless of the nature, usually has an argument that just keeps coming back up. Just never really goes away completely. It just feels moody.
And with that, I thank ya, as always, for stopping by and checking out my work. Happy adjusting to the time change and I hope you pop back next time. It’s going to be a weird and noteworthy Friday the 13th coming up!
