NOVEMBER FORECAST FOR ARIES:

Freedom and success combine with a deep need for self-expression and the desire to be seen and recognised for the unique soul you are will surface this November so be prepared. Along with this you could indeed grasp those professional accolades you seek. Are you prepared to take YOU to the next level no matter what that may be for you, Aries? Time to be your beliefs in who and what you are now.

There’s an overall sense of freedom and expansion behind all this and that includes the freedom of allowing yourself to do and be all you can be (sorry, apologies to the US Army but honestly, for us Aries Warrior Princesses and Princes out there, you could not have come up with a better line!). This November is all about being warriors of self-love or self-belief so take steps to make certain yours is unshakable. The start of the month may have you looking at your soul path and whether or not you still have those bold, Aries feet upon it. When we are following our true path we achieve the freedom we are seeking. Massive 9th house activity has you yearning for that freedom but with Saturn in here you need to understand freedom needs structure to support it. Now is the time to set about creating that as a major meeting occurs between your need for emotional freedom (Moon in your 9th), Venus and Saturn meet and square Neptune who is inspiring you, Take that bold step into a new area for you as Venus and Uranus trine on the 5th. That self-love warrior change or news where is it about to take you is heralded by the meeting of Mercury and Lilith – who is the goddess of self-empowerment and determination, in your 8th the same day.

Push forward fearlessly with your agenda during the start of the second week – coincidentally this is the week the United States goes to the polls. There is a saying out there we get the leaders we deserve – perhaps now the ones we elect. Are you electing some self-determination as Juno in your 9th is all about the freedom that comes from hooking up with someone else when it comes to getting where you need to go. The big conjunction in your 1st between Uranus, Eris and Ceres which forms part of the Cardinal Grand Cross on the 8th, reminds you that if you have feelings of self-doubt, don’t give in as a positive change could be just around the corner when it comes to your career achievements. Push through limitations and understand – they are all in your mind because this is not how the rest of the world sees you! How they see you is confident and powerful and someone in charge of their destiny as ruler Mars enters your 11th which rules our place in the collective. With the Sun meeting dark Moon Lilith in your 8th of personal power, you exude a powerful magnetism and sexy self-assurance that could just propel you towards whatever (or whomever) you have set your sights on. What’s more, success in any venture could just be on your terms.

Elevating planetary aspects have you projecting not just personal magnetism but looking the part you want to play as Venus sashays into your 10th. This is the perfect transit under which to refine or update your professional image. Remember, feeling the part often involves looking the part as well. Ask any actor – this is why they have dress rehearsals. But for you, this may not be a rehearsal – this is your award-winning

performance as Mercury in your 9th could deliver an opportunity to travel or step into a bigger role than the one you’ve undertaken until now. Mercury will also meet Juno in here offering some of you the chance to connect with someone who reflects your desire for a larger role or experience of the world. The full Supermoon mid-month actually takes place in your money zone and this could see financial or contract dealings brought to a close for you around this time. Doors could swing open wide especially if you feel you have been knocking for a very long time or working towards acknowledgement and/or success. Jupiter in your partnership sector favours not just love but collaborative ventures of all kinds and you may have to demonstrate how serious you are about attaining what you want as he squares Pluto in your 10th on the 21st. The Sun enters your 9th on the 22nd and with Neptune now direct again in your 12th, the combination of these two transits probably has you feeling that something ‘big’ is about to happen. If so, chances are you are right.

The Sun is now in Jupiter’s ruling house and so of course is Saturn. Saturn represents structure and commitment. And also ‘authority’ especially in the 9th house ‘author’-ity over our own lives. Mercury meets Saturn in here and sextiles Jupiter this is all about reaping the rewards of self-direction, discipline and having had a goal firmly in mind. Saturn in your 9th is still about the expansion and exploration you 9th house promises, but it is disciplined expansion and exploration where you have a map to follow! This is what self-authority is really all about. Ensure if you are dealing with large groups of people that you come across as knowledgeable and someone who knows what they are talking about. You could be looking at big, beautiful and unexpected transformations in a key relationship or your career as Venus and Pluto meet in your 10th and square Jupiter and that big conjunction in your 1st. It’s personal authorship now so know where you want your story to go. You are the writer, director, producer and star of your own production so act like you are a major player – not an extra in your own life.

The new Moon in your 9th could mark the beginning of the self-directed journey towards success I have been talking about. The same day (29th) the Sun and Moon all fall conjunct Juno. This is telling you that when it comes to partnership matters, you need not only a travelling companion but someone who thinks big too. You need a fellow explorer and someone who sets you free to do so. Singles could be ready to explore a new and perhaps bigger love dynamic. Success could be imminent if you are travelling for business or dealing with people and companies overseas.

How confident are you in your ability to The end of the month could see what you have set in motion or planted bear fruit as Venus in your 10th squares Ceres in your 1st. It’s time to reach for the prize and push through past any competition or obstacles in your path this November.

NOVEMBER FORECAST FOR TAURUS:

When I mention the word ‘change’ what is your immediate reaction? What immediately comes to mind? How do you react emotionally? Are you fearful? Scared? Relieved? Excited? Are the feelings you associate with change primarily positive or negative? This has nothing to do with whether or not you are an optimist or a pessimist but usually our perceptions of change revolve around those changes we felt we had no control over. A lover breaks off our relationship. We lose our job. There’s nothing like the word ‘change’ to get a deep response from most of us. But what about the times when you have asked for change? What about positive or exciting change? You graduate from high school/university and are ready to go out into the world. You get married. Become a parent. Move into a new home. All positive change. Now, think back to an event which when it happened seemed like a negative thing but in fact, turned out to be a ‘blessing in disguise’ as it kicked you out of your comfort zone and put you in the path of opportunity. Most of the time however, change is only what we make it – the emotional charge we give to it when we say it is a good or a bad thing. Change is just change – nothing more than that!

So, bear all this in mind this November if you are dealing with changes – perhaps some of them unexpected ones. This may be because it is not just your change sector that is active this month but also your 12th house and its ruler, Neptune. Your ruler Venus is in your change sector as is Saturn and the Moon. The three square Neptune on the 2nd and Venus trines Uranus on the 5th. Going out on a limb or a shift in your social circle could be the result. That going out on a limb – especially when it comes to your ideas, could see you with a powerful result you have not experienced in the past. Dare to do differently. You may just be willing to take a few risks now and provided these are calculated ones, these could just pay off for you. Remember the saying: if you want a different result be prepared to ditch what you have tried in the past. Breaking free of the past may mean confronting an aspect of it around the 8th and be prepared to do just that and reach for a different solution or reaction to your usual one as a Cardinal Grand Cross forms. Yes, change may be the inevitable result but by becoming an active participant in the process, especially in areas where you know change needs to occur, you stop being swept along by change and ride it instead.

Juno also enters your change sector from the 7th and Mercury and dark Moon Lilith got together in your partnership house two days before. The Sun also meets Lilith in your 7th on the 11th, and this could have you looking at your need for not only emotional and sexual depth in your union, but also your freedom of soul expression. Do you have that? Singles could find themselves seeking and perhaps attracting someone who represents a dramatic departure from their usual ‘type’ or kind of potential lover they have been attracted to in the past. Along with a serious sexual magnetism this person could project an edgy quality that smacks of a little bit of forbidden fruit or danger! If so they are the physical representation of the change that is not just around you but happening within you whether you are aware of it or not!

Negotiations around money especially joint finances or your salary may need you to remain firm especially as Mars who rules your 8th house along with Pluto, entered your 10th of career and status on the 9th. Mercury’s entry into your 8th on the 12th means he meets with Juno in here on the 14th and this may see you and your partner having to discuss or review financial matters. This is the day the full Supermoon appears in your 1st so be aware that your emotions rather than the facts may be dictating your responses here. Try not to become too defensive or allow feelings of

insecurity to get in the way. If you are involved in salary or loan negotiations remain business-like and above all, look at your emotional fears around money rather than anything else as it is these that are likely to dictate your responses. If you possibly can, wait to bring things to a conclusion until after the Sun enters your 8th on the 22nd and Mercury and Saturn meet and sextile Jupiter in your 6th of work on the 23rd. The good news is that you should emerge from this with a new sense of power and control in place by the time the new Moon appears in here on the 29th. When it comes to personal or shared finances with your partner or someone close to you, the end of the month’s meeting between the Sun, Moon and Juno in your 8th could see you able to rise above any emotional fears around money, what you believe you deserve or even beliefs that you are defined by what you have (or don’t). Transcend these now and when it comes to change, you should now have been able to remove any emotional sting and see it as change only. Who’s afraid of changes? Not you!

The upside of all this 8th/12th house activity is that if you are interested in expanding your psychic abilities or studying astrology, the Tarot or any occult subject, you will be more open now and also are likely to attract either the right teacher or group to explore these subjects with especially once Neptune heads direct once again in your 11th.

Now, let’s talk about purely positive change, expansion, luck and that feeling that things are finally flowing in your direction. You’ve done the hard work and faced the scary change monster – and hopefully seen it is really only as scary as the power you decide to give it. Ruler Venus’s entry into your 9th could indicate a big success or pleasure is just around the corner for you. If travelling, expect good times and the chance to enjoy yourself. Even if you are staying home, benefits or success could come via overseas companies, people who are overseas – or even romance! Venus loves being in your 9th house as she is up above the horizon in here and if there is one thing you of all signs should appreciate about your ruler is that she loves being where others can see her. Right up at the top of your chart therefore suits her very well. If everyone else can see her shining, that means they can see you too!

The third week of the month sees Venus meeting Pluto in here and what does Pluto rule? Yes, your 8th house and change. But now we are talking about the kind of changes where you get to embrace something bigger and better and with Venus in the mix, something (or someone) you enjoy. If you have been hoping for changes in the work area – which of course could have involved salary negotiations or even applying for funding or a business loan, then Venus is about to smooth the way but there is a reminder that you still need to make an effort on your own behalf. That is what riding the wave of change means. Just like a surfer who waits for the right break, that’s what you need to be doing. Jupiter who rules your 9th squares both Venus and Pluto conjunct in his ruling house. One more directed effort could see you with the freedom and the result you desire. Reaping the benefits of what you have set in motion and adapting your approach even at the last minute to do so allows you to be the innovator that embraces changes when they occur rather than resisting or fearing them as Venus squares Uranus, Eris and Ceres. Think back to the changes you have been through in the past. You should know by now how capable you are. Changes now could be thrusting you down a wider and more beneficial life path. Go surf them this month.

NOVEMBER FORECAST FOR GEMINI:

When it comes to love and close personal relationships this month, things are either very good or the opposite. You may discover there is no middle path now no matter how hard you try to walk it. All in or all out. True love or indifference. Win or lose. Despite Venus being in her ruling house compromise may not be possible. Having said all that, believe it or not, there is a real upside to these kind of forever-or-never aspects. You know for certain if it’s right or if it isn’t and are not likely to continue to remain with something that no longer works for you.

Saturn rules time and one thing about him is that he will not allow you to waste it. Had you ever thought about where the term ‘serving time’ especially when it refers to prisoners originated? Well, Saturn rules the establishment, authority and therefore those who administer the justice system (as opposed to Jupiter who rules the law). So, we refer to someone who is incarcerated as ‘serving time’- or serving Saturn. Of course, we all serve time or Saturn as he also rules our karma. He wants is to commit and establish structure in our lives and this is the positive aspect of ‘serving time’ – and what Saturn rewards us for.

The right person for us or knowing we are already with them and deepening that emotional commitment could be the result of the major meeting in your 7th between the Moon, Venus and Saturn. They square Neptune in your 10th of status but as he remains retrograde until the 20th, you are connected to the truth about whether or not who you are with, or may be with in the future, is worth planning that future around. Like your opposite sign of Sagittarius, you need a certain amount of autonomy and respect in your relationship and the Mercury and Lilith meeting in your 6th occurs the same day as Venus tries Uranus in your 11th. If you’re seeking someone special and who also respects who you are and what you want to achieve in the world outside of your relationship, then this combination along with an extra special boost from Juno who waltzes down the aisle of your 7th on the 7th, could place someone pretty special in your path. I could also add ‘unique’ ‘sexy’ and ‘quite possibly a genius’ to that description.

Be open to shifts around romance as the T-square of the 8th has Jupiter in this house and of course, Pluto in his ruling one. Venus is about to join him in here and this along with ruler Mercury now heading towards Saturn from the 12th as well as Mars urging you towards excitement and bigger experiences in your 9th, all combine to bring you to that ‘It’s either completely right or not on’ crossroads. For singles, the opportunity to connect with that lover unlike any other is present throughout the month but the start of the third week sees Jupiter in your 5th square Pluto just as the Sun enters your 7th.
By mid-month your intuition when it comes to your relationships will prove to be your compass for the future. This month’s full Moon appears in your 12th enhancing

your latent psychic abilities and bringing you additional gifts of information-laden dreams and spot-on intuitive flashes. Do please pay attention to what your higher self is telling you especially when it comes to the future of love. The universe has a map it wants you to download now. Ruler Mercury just adores playing Cupid and delivering those love missives and in your 7th he wants to talk to bring others closer. As he meets up with Juno in here also mid-month the talk could be around longevity. If you are seeking someone new communication and talk will fuel the early stages of the romance. As Mercury bumps into Saturn and sextiles Jupiter and Venus meets Pluto in your house of transformation and yes, sex,as well as squaring Jupiter, this could see the start of something major and November could be one of the most important months of the year for love. Also, don’t be surprised if you attract someone where there is a pronounced age difference between you. It could go either way – they could be younger or older perhaps by seven years or more. Remember, we are all the same age as we are all the stuff stars are made of and if it works – well, age is just a number.

The new Moon in your 7th promises a new phase in relating or a new relationship. By now you should be in a position where you know for sure whether something is right for you – or you will know how to recognise it when it turns up. Remember, true love relationships allow us to evolve into our full potential. The person we are with brings out the best possible version of ourselves – and hopefully we do the same for them. The final days of November sees Venus square Uranus, Ceres and Eris in his natural house in your chart which could pave the way for an extraordinary meeting if you make extra effort to connect. At the same time the Sun, Moon and Juno all meet in your 7th. By the end of the month you’ll know exactly what the nature of the love you have is – or be ready to recognise it when it finally appears. There’s no more ‘settling’ for you after this. It’s real love and you’re accepting no substitutes.

NOVEMBER FORECAST FOR CANCER:

This month asks you to pay extra special attention to the connection between health and happiness, Cancer. If we are healthy then we are in the best possible position to pursue happiness – and appreciate all the benefits that brings should we catch up with it. It’s no coincidence that I am quoting from the US Constitution seeing that this month sees the citizens of that county take to the polls in what may well be their most decisive election of all. And of course, the US birthday is on July 4 which makes it a Cancerian country although Washington and many of the founding fathers have links with Virgo.

Your ruler (and therefore the ruler of the US) the Moon meets Venus and Saturn in your 6th at the beginning of November. If your health is not as it should be or you just don’t feel yourself, now is the time you need to be talking to professionals about it. Saturn rules our bones and teeth so pay extra attention to these. Venus in our 6th can have us throwing our diets out of the window and you need to guard against excesses at the moment. Fortunately, Saturn exerts his influence here but if you use food to

escape or for comfort then the Moon and Neptune may have you reaching for that gateway cupcake. I hate to use the word ‘diet’ and prefer ‘healthy eating plan’ and that’s what you need to be focussing on. Making healthy choices most of the time in order that you can have the occasional indulgence. Neptune is also asking you to pay attention to your mental and spiritual health too. Take action and take on board professional advice if you seek it out.

Overall wellbeing needs to be your goal and all of us need to understand this is only achieved by long term lifestyle changes – not short term fads. Again, Saturn really is throwing his considerable weight behind your efforts here as he is all about going for the long haul.

When it comes to your work, working with inspiration, genius and innovation – especially to do with areas that involve caring, any New Age profession, construction, wellbeing, healing, fitness, creativity or something that involves making massive leaps in deduction or imagination, are areas of growth for you.

So how about those good things that you need to be healthy in order to enjoy the most? Such as romance, fun, your children if you have them, indulgences (the non-fattening kind!), good times and opportunities to shine? You still have planets in your fabulous 5th so time to work them. Mercury meets Lilith in here on the 5th and this goddess wants you to be on top. In every possible way. Good times could be on their way which are associated with travel, education, entertainment and business. Luck could be on your side now and flirtation could get serious fast especially when the Sun meets Lilith as you are not about to be coy or play hard to get. You will let someone know if you are interested – or not. You favour the direct approach but this is all wrapped up in an irresistible package of charm now which means you are set to impress whomever you meet – no matter what the reason. Business and pleasure can combine and you could be in the process of setting yourself up for a work victory later in the month. However, the day of the US elections could see you having to weigh up a big decision of your own. It could require you to stay connected to the bigger picture – where you are now and where you want to get to. Does it facilitate this in the long term? Beware of quick fixes or short-term solutions as they may not contain the answers you need now.

We have more action taking place in your 6th house so no matter what else is happening in other areas, stay focussed on your overall health and wellbeing as Juno arrives in here on the 7th and Mercury follows on the 12th. This is of course, Mercury’s ruling house. Venus also enters her ruling house (your 7th) on the same day while Mars enters his ancient ruling house (8th) on the 9th. Your libido could soar and demand more expression. If you currently have no partner bear in mind that energy has to be released and go somewhere. So, direct this energy into your work or else exercise or perhaps both. If you are coupled up, please do not allow any minor niggles or resentments towards your partner to simmer. If you do blow-ups may occur that are completely out-of-proportion to what is actually going on at the time. And really, the make-up sex won’t be worth the angst this will create. Venus in her ruling house will be striving for balance and harmony but she is also heading towards Pluto in here. Not talking about what is really troubling you will not only have a negative effect on your relationship, but may result in actual physical symptoms, uncharacteristic bursts of anger or even depression. So, don’t keep it to yourself and again, if you are finding it

hard to talk about this with those closest to you, don’t be afraid to talk to a professional. Jupiter and Pluto in a tight contest on the 21st point to the fact you can transform something on the home front or with people you live with. The result will be a happier, healthier you and happier relationships. So, don’t let anything spoil the good stuff – and there is so much good stuff around you right now!

This month’s full Moon is supersized in your 11th house of social activities, friends and extended connections. So, expect supersized emotions. You could find yourself out and about on the night of the full Moon enjoying the company of people who totally ‘get’ you. This could be a wonderful time for getting together with friends you have not seen for a while or just enjoying being with people you can be yourself with.

Neptune has now moved direct once again in your centre for travel and higher learning. Stay connected to the truth behind why you feel the way you do. This can be more difficult than it sounds as Neptune tends to obscure or blur things. You may simply forget what you’ve taken on board or be uncertain how to apply it. However, your intuition instinctively knows so if unsure, look deep within and also understand all true spiritual wisdom is actually simple to grasp. Yes, it’s not meant to be difficult.

As well as a full Supermoon, mid-month saw an encounter between Mercury and Juno in your 6th. Juno rules traditional partnerships and marriage. What do you need to bring too yours for a healthy relationship? There’s a shift happening in your personal love dynamic as Venus moves to conjunct Pluto in your 7th and squares Jupiter in your 4th and Uranus, Ceres and Eris all conjunct in your 10th. Changes to your partner’s career or circumstances could also affect yours. But on a soul level you may discover yourself looking into whether you see yourself differently if you are in a relationship or single. Have you been made to feel you may be less of a person or of less value if you are not with someone? Has a female in your life made you feel this way? There’s an opportunity here to look at where such beliefs if you have them may have sprung from – and to shift them to something that values you as an individual no matter your relationship status, if you do. Know if you are single or suddenly single again this work paves the way for something better in the future. And heals soul wounds as it does. All of which adds up to enhanced wellbeing which results in – yes, you got it – happiness.

The Sun’s entry into your 6th from the 22nd has you looking at not just health but work matters now. Especially as new Moon in here on the 29th promises a door opening for you. Some of you could be looking at a change in your job or work situation as Mercury meets Saturn and makes a positive angle to Jupiter. Something more sustaining in the long term in how you work or your lifestyle is about to appear. Above all now, make wellbeing and sustaining that your over-riding goal. That healthier you is then in the best position to take advantage of opportunities in other areas just waiting to emerge now.

NOVEMBER FORECAST FOR LEO:

Love, travel, freedom and being the brightest star in the sky. Are you ready to do whatever it takes to have that dream you’ve been following, Leo? Just suppose for one moment that all this actually forms part of your spiritual journey and has a deeper meaning behind it. Others may just think you are on a roll or just have a pleasure—agenda. However, the planets are saying there is a purpose for you that deepens your spiritual perception behind all of this. Yes, you may be having a good time but there’s nothing superficial about your journey this November.

Get ready this month to experience the spiritual truth behind why you have your passions, Leo. Could this even be part of your karma or soul purpose? Turning a passion into a profession, following your true path and creative self-expression are all part of this journey. There’s nothing superficial about this so don’t be fooled. All experiences are at their heart spiritual experiences as we are souls here to learn and there’s just as much learning to be gained from good times as there is from challenges.

The glamour goddess herself Venus is in your 5th and trines Uranus for unexpected travel or opportunities that could lead to the world sitting up and taking notice. If you get the opportunity to enter into anything to do with people overseas, the mass media, sports, the outdoors, travel, the law, academia or large animals then do so now as big benefits could be part of the package for you. When it comes to romance you have Juno the heavenly body of commitment, marriage and lasting promises making her way in here as well and casting the light of long term promise over any budding love affair. Again, if that lover has links to any of the areas I mentioned, consider this doubly well-starred. Your sign is the natural 5th house of the zodiac so we can say you are very much attuned to what is happening in here now. Mars is about to enter your 7th of partnerships and while his very masculine energy is slightly at odds with the feminine and relating nature of your 7th, he has the effect of adding the necessary heat for love to ignite and also gives you that confidence to go for it – not just in terms of love but setting off in hot pursuit of those ambitions and dreams too.

When it comes to delivering news – be it the romantic kind or opening doors for you in business or to show people what you have to offer, Mercury gets on board form the 12th – the same day coincidentally that Venus moves from your 5th and on into your work sector. With a full Supermoon this month in your career and status zone try to time big work projects, pitches, presentations, launches, meetings, job applications, interviews or even requests for funding to coincide as close to mid month as you can. Flirtation could turn serious fast as Mercury and Juno meet in your 5th on the 14th.

Time spend crafting what you are going to say and in how you present yourself will be well spent and pay off this month. It boils down to knowing your stuff and also your confidence. Let’s face it Leo – of all the signs of the zodiac you are the born showman. So, how about some show-stopping moves? Paying extra special attention to your image, writing down and rehearsing what you are going to say and imaging yourself in a completely scene-stealing real life role taps into your natural abilities to be a front-of-house person. Again, this is not about showing off but a natural expression for you.
You may have to push yourself forward a little and tap into your unique talents and above all, not be afraid to showcase these especially during the days leading up to all this.
this. Remember as we are talking about passion – passion is contagious. When people are living a life fuelled by passion for what they do or are involved with – others cannot help but we drawn to them. No time for shyness now as you have to show the world what makes you unique as first Mercury meets Lilith in your 4th on the 4th and then your ruler the Sun conjuncts her on the 11th. Lilith needs dominion and she is also all about being herself. Throw into the mix a powerful T-Square which appears the day of the US Presidential Election and you have Uranus who is all about genius and maverick thinking meeting Ceres and Eris in your 9th opposing Jupiter in your 3rd and squaring Pluto in your work sector. How you work and what you have been working towards most importantly, will be in focus. If you are engaged in that interview or business process I’ve been talking about see yourself as the most likely candidate for success and craft yourself a platform. Venus will also meet Pluto in your 6th and square with Jupiter towards the end of the month and this could be one of the most powerful transits for business success of the year if you are up to the challenges it may bring you. There is no doubt that a powerful change could now sweep through your finances sector and it is important to act in a business like and professional manner as Neptune heads direct again in your centre of power – your 8th from the 20th. This will be very important for those of you who are involved in creative or personal business ventures. Very often when someone shows interest in a personal venture we are so happy someone out there believes in us we say ‘yes’ immediately without bothering to read the small print or to seek outside advice. Or we accept the first offer made because we are scared if we don’t accept it they other party with withdraw. Time to tap into those values and don’t undersell yourself. If in doubt with any business dealings now, seek outside professional advice such as an accountant or a lawyer.

Ruler the Sun now lights up your 5th and you may just now be closing that deal or seeing that dream become concrete reality. There’s a more serious tone to what is happening in this house now due to Saturn’s presence in here. Saturn wants us to establish something and commit to it – this can be anything from a relationship to a career path or a business. So, are you committing to that passion? Are you ready to make it work for you? Saturn can deliver rewards like no other and if you can show you are learning something on this path you may be surprised at the accolades that could be forthcoming now or even the people who cross your path willing to help you. Serious connections can be made or you could be centre stage telling people what it is you want to do or what you are all about as Mercury and Saturn meet in here and sextile Jupiter on the 23rd. The 29th sees a new Moon in here which falls conjunct the Sun and Juno and you may see the doors marked ‘Success’ swing wide now.

The month ends very much on a theme of reaping the rewards of what you and only you have set in motion as Venus squares Uranus, Eris and Ceres. Do you honestly believe that you are destined for success or belong with those who are successful? Your mindset as ever determines where you believe you will eventually end up. Develop a passionate one this month and believe – most of all in the power of yourself.

NOVEMBER FORECAST FOR VIRGO:

Benefits through family members or your partner, a new and enhanced lifestyle or even a new home could be yours this November, Virgo. It could be time to put down roots or even return to past ones. The month begins with the Moon in her ruling house meetings Venus and Saturn in your 4th and squaring Neptune in your 7th which is why changes may also include your partner. Venus also trines Uranus in your sector of shared resources and money so chances are this involves something you share – anything from a home, a business, a joint account or family ties. Juno enters this house on the 7th and she is very comfortable in here as she is all about traditional unions and your 4th rules traditions. Neptune in your 7th heads direct again mid-month so if you are waiting for a decision that affects your partner in some way, this month may bring it.

Some of you could be looking at a serious money or business decision or even a relationship heading into a new phase as Uranus, Eris and Ceres meet in your 8th and oppose Jupiter in your money zone while squaring Pluto in your 5th. Ruler Mercury is presently in his ruling house (3rd) in your chart but not for too much longer as he too will head into your 4th from the 12th. All this points to news and developments around contracts, leases, mortgages, loan agreements, long term decisions regarding money or your career or your partner’s as Mercury will bump into Juno in your 4th mid-month too.

Establishing something for the long term is very much a part of this as is a serious commitment. If you are signing agreements such as purchases, leases, loan agreements, mortgages, job contracts or even starting a business, all these are commitments. You are also stating on a practical and a soul level that you are directing the path of your foreseeable future. Saturn always wants us to establish something and taking steps to do this always meets with his approval. Confirmation of your plans could be the result of Mercury your ruler meeting Saturn on the 23rd which is the day after the Sun’s entry in here. Both Mercury and Saturn make a positive angle to Jupiter in your money zone indicating that if finances play a role in all this, you could be looking at getting your loan, funding, raise or the salary you desire.

By the time the new Moon in your 4th appears at the end of the month you should be at the stage where you are about to step into this new cycle of living or working to create this future path. Some of you could be walking it with a partner as this new Moon falls conjunct the Sun and Juno so it may well be a vision of the future you are creating together.

Time to take care of health matters as Mars enters your 6th of work and wellbeing from the 9th. Mars in here fires up ambition and also gives you energy to complete your tasks. However, you need to guard against rushing for all kinds of reasons. Mars can make you slapdash as he is not like your ruler who has you focussed on the details! Also if you rush at anything now accidents could occur so slow down if necessary.

Travel or a journey is aspected by this month’s full Supermoon in your 9th. Even if you are staying home, overseas contacts or people from overseas could feature. Emotional freedom including freedom to express your feelings will be important to you and you won’t tolerate any attempts to curtail this. Remember as with all Moon

phases – they can be intense but they are just a phase! If you feel restless but travel is not an option for you at the moment then being outdoors, exercising or even just planning a trip for the future will help counteract these feelings. If you feel restricted in any way you need to ask yourself if those restrictions are self-imposed rather than outside of you.

Personal desires won’t be taking a back seat either. If you are single, then you too could be looking at choices and decisions around where you live, your work and your long term lifestyle. However, you are also giving equal priority to love and romance. Part of this is owning what you need in a relationship. As Mercury bumps into Lilith on the 5th and the Sun does the same on the 11th, it’s time to be honest about how much autonomy you need when in a relationships and how much of your independence you are willing to give up to have one. When we are honest about what we need our authentic vibe radiates out there and we are much more likely to attract the kind of person who can respond to this. Honesty is not just the best policy – it’s the secret ingredient to attracting what we need. With Venus now poised to enter your 5th house of love from the 12th and heading for an explosive encounter with Pluto in the last week of the month, singles could be drawn into the orbit of someone seriously magnetic and sexy. This person will not be looking for a push-over but for someone who knows who they are and what they want. Could that just be you? You have to know what you want to get it and to know what you want you have to know yourself. Perhaps this is why the entrance to the Oracle of Delphi has ‘Know Thyself’ written above it.

Changes around your romantic status or receiving recognition for your talents could take you by surprise. This does not mean you may not have to take action if an opportunity presents itself as Jupiter in your money and self-worth sector squares the Pluto/Venus conjunction in your 5th. Venus will also square Uranus, Ceres and Eris in your 8th so guard against self-doubt or fears undermining you if opportunity is within your grasp. However, others could suddenly decide a romance is not for them and if so, know this is your authentic self talking. Yes, that one you have spent this month getting to know so much better. Now you know what you want – and need, you’ll know what you have to do to go get it. Go after what you really want this November.

NOVEMBER FORECAST FOR LIBRA:

Ruler Venus in your 3rd along with a new Moon in here at the end of the month is all about creative ideas, news which sets your heart beating faster and travel for pleasure all feature. If you work in a creative profession or are involved with any kind of personal business or creative project which requires love, insight and inspiration to fruition, you’ll be able to add an extra dimension to the finished result now. You’re open to new ideas and inspiration perhaps even feeling this is channelled from a source outside of yourself as the Moon and Venus meet and as they bump into Saturn you’ll be able to use these to create something concrete and lasting. You may have to re-work or revise some projects with this new information as the three square Neptune but believe me, the results will be worth it.
Unexpected assistance or good news could be one outcome as Venus trines Uranus. An unusual, entrepreneurial or extremely clever partner may be very much your cup of chai right now. Certainly someone you can talk to and share ideas with will be high on your ‘must have’ list of qualities. They also need to support your goals and ambitions if only emotionally. For a while you’ve been working on your core values and beliefs about yourself. During this process you may have ended up seeing yourself very differently – and valuing yourself much more. As a result of this you need someone who values you. This extends not just into your personal life but your professional one too. Mercury and then the Sun will conjunct Lilith in your money zone on the 5th and then the 11th respectively. During this time you may literally bank the results of self-initiated projects but as Juno enters your 3rd from the 7th and Mars heats up your romance zone from the 9th, what could result is the appearance of someone who reflects your view of yourself but who is highly dynamic and exciting with plenty of ideas of their own.

Jupiter in your 1st is intent on expanding your world on some level and as I have already explained, you need to think back 12 years to Jupiter’s last visit to your 1st which should give you some idea of what themes may emerge this time around. I have also explained that despite Jupiter ruling luck and all good things, he is not a fairy godfather and the trick to making the best of the opportunities he wants to send your way is to take action on your own behalf. The 12th will see Venus enter into your 4th and at this point she will not only meet Pluto in here but be intent on bringing you opportunities to enhance your physical, financial and emotional security in some way. Before this occurs, Jupiter will first square Pluto on the 8th and oppose Uranus, Eris and Ceres conjunct in your 7th. This is also coincidentally the day of the US Presidential election but on a more intimate level, it may see you having to take that action on behalf of Team Jupiter. Come from a place of personal power but leave ego out of it if you can. Gains or bringing a negotiation to a satisfactory conclusion could occur around the time of the new Supermoon in your 8th. However, an emotional climax or ending could also feature now.

Mercury enters his ruling house in your chart on the 3rd and communication, commercial, writing, publishing and studying ventures are favoured. The Sun is not far behind and there’s an additional message here and that is not to ignore the opportunities that might be right under your nose. Neighbours, siblings, uncles and aunts as well as people you meet during your commute or every day routine could play a major role now. If you are looking for something – it may be in your neighbourhood or accessible via your immediate social or family circle. Be alert for people you meet as you are out and about as opposed to socialising. And as Mercury and then the Sun both entangle with first Juno and then Saturn, please don’t underestimate the significance of any meetings especially as Mercury and Saturn will make an extremely positive angle to Jupiter in your 1st.

Neptune heads direct in your health and work area this month. This may literally work well for you if you work in the caring, New Age, healing or any area where you are required to deal with theories or abstract concepts. However, health matters may still require your attention and you need to guard against depression.

As Venus approaches Pluto in your 4th both of them will square Jupiter in your 1st and Venus will also square the Uranus/Eris/Ceres conjunction in your 7th. Changes around your living arrangements especially if they involve a partner could be the result and if you are faced with big decisions now you need to think about the impact they are going to have on your long term path. Each decision you take should build on the previous one now enhancing your lifestyle or security even further. So, ensure before you commit to a path that this will be the result of your choices. You’re laying the foundations for your future here.

The 29th sees a news-bearing new Moon in your 3rd that also falls conjunct the Sun and Juno. Your sign has a lot in common with Juno as she rules marriage and traditional partnerships. She could just be trying to hook you up now and a new beginning especially to do with relating could be around the corner for you. But between now and the next new Moon in December is going to be all about communication, what you say and what news you hear. Change your routine. Do something with your ideas. And just returning to what I said about meeting important people as you go about your daily routine – changing that ever so slightly could be the magic ingredient you need in order to bump into them. Go to a new coffee shop, take a slightly different route to work, shop at a different supermarket. If you commute sit in a different part of the train, bus or ferry if you can. Do you normally remain glued to your phone or plugged into your iPod? Don’t. Go unplugged and read instead, Talking of which – buy a different magazine or newspaper to the one you usually do. If you go jogging or walking, try a new exercise route. Is there a local club or organisation you’ve been thinking about joining? There’s no such thing as chance or coincidence – just energies we don’t yet understand. You may not understand it, but you can tap into it this month.

NOVEMBER FORECAST FOR SCORPIO:

Money, assets, values and your self-worth become your priorities as the Sun prepares to leave your sign and enter your 2nd. Your 2nd house is ruled by Venus who as November begins is already in residence. You may have to work harder than usual to earn your money at this point due to Saturn’s residence in here. However, Saturn in your money zone does not mean big gains cannot be made or that long term work won’t be rewarded.

Your 2nd is also the house where we experience the world’s sensual pleasures – in other words the good things of life. Good food, wine, art, music, the theatre, beautiful objects, nature, sensual fabrics, good design – all these pleasures come under the 2nd house and when you think about it, these things are often what we spend our money on or extra money when we have it. So, as well as your bank account increasing, you may also get to experience more of the earthly sensual side of life courtesy of Venus. The month begins with the Moon, Venus and Saturn all conjunct in your 2nd and squaring Neptune in your 5th of romance, fun and pleasure. Don’t go overboard at this stage when it comes to financing that pursuit of sensual delights especially when

Neptune heads direct again after the 20th. Venus can make you spend money faster than it comes in and Neptune can send you headlong into escapism and hedonism. Also, if a romantic interest presents themselves, because Neptune in involved and is about to head direct again this month on the 20th, take your time to get to know the ‘real’ them. And what about the ‘real’ you? Mercury and Lilith the planetary body who is all about being real are meeting up in your 1st on the 5th which is the same day as Venus makes a money-enhancing angle to Uranus in your 6th. Before the Sun moves into your 2nd, he will also conjunct Lilith in your 1st. This is all about embracing all the various facets of your soul – including the ‘dark’ ones. The Yin and the Yang of you is what makes you so fascinating – and entirely you! This ‘real’ you is what employers and yes, that special someone, wants. Work those assets as in your talents and skills now – they are also ruled by the 2nd house. A better job or an opportunity could present itself now and it could rest on what you have to bring to the table. A love which is an asset to you, someone who enhances who you are along with your usual quest of passion with depth, is top of your personal search engine now as Juno also enters your 2nd.

Ruler Pluto is set to bring you some transforming news perhaps around romance or even a business venture this month. What may still be holding you back could be revealed for you to make that final push past it as the T-Square of the 8th which is US Presidential Election Day positions Pluto to make squares to Jupiter in your 12th and that big Uranus/Eris/Ceres conjunction in your 6th.Your ancient ruler Mars is now in your 4th which is not the best place for him to be due to the feminine and nurturing energy of this house. However, when it comes to home or lifestyle improvements or taking steps to cement your financial or material security, he is in a take-charge mood. Just ensure that you involve partners or those you live with in your plans as there may be a tendency to get so caught up in them you make unilateral decisions. While I know you have everyone’s best interests at heart if they are not consulted they may not see it like that.

Venus enters your 3rd and Mercury enters your 2nd both on the 12th. Although they only make a 30 degree angle to each other (a semi-sextile), they are in mutual reception by house and these two have always worked together as a team. Beneficial news is now on the agenda. Mid month also sees a full Supermoon in your 7th. The full Moon is always about intense emotions and a full Supermoon even more so! You’ll be reaching out to your partner if you have one, wanting to bring your relationship to a deeper level (that depth you are always seeking that I spoke about earlier!). If you have a business partner, you may be seeing a project peak or culminate now and if you, be prepared to celebrate. However, if things have not been going well in a relationship, you may find yourself weighing up whether to continue the connection or not. Take a step back for a few days before making a big decision.

With Venus heading towards ruler Pluto fast and Mercury in your 2nd heading towards Juno and Saturn, if you are single and have your eye on someone you may make a move to jump-start things. You may become your own agent for transformation working with Pluto’s energy now. When Venus meets Pluto they will both square Jupiter in your 12th. It is not just something that changes the present but the past that may be changed in some way. Someone from the past could reappear or something you hear about past events suddenly changes how you have viewed them perhaps releasing you as they do. ‘The farther backward you look, the farther forward you can see’ – Winston Churchill. In other words, history or rather patterns repeat themselves until we understand them.
The Sun joins Mercury in your 2nd from the 22nd bringing a month-long focus on your values and your money, Time to take money matters seriously as Mercury meets Saturn on the 23rd and makes a beneficial angle to Jupiter in your 12th. Saturn rewards for long term effort and while Jupiter in your 12th is not an especially material transit as your 12th is concerned with matters of the soul and spirit, progress you have been making towards long term financial goals and your inner values could return material benefits. Watch for the appearance of these as the new Moon appears in your 2nd on the 29th and falls conjunct the Sun and Juno. Money will now be under the microscope and this new Moon often brings in a new source of income. However, it is not so much about how much money you have but your relationship to what you do have. This may be a reflection of your own self-worth. Your key to more of the folding stuff, if that is your goal, is to work on your values and valuing what you already have. Also remember love and money are two sides of the same coin. Money may not buy you love but they are related!

New developments around your work could appear with the rewards of past efforts even recent ones appearing as Venus squares Uranus, Eris and Ceres. This is all about being ‘real’ when it comes to how you come across at work or with potential employers. Value your talents as if you don’t – then who will? Opportunities in work and love are all around you this month and all you have to do is go look for them.

NOVEMBER FORECAST FOR SAGITTARIUS:

Get ready for a year of expansion and perhaps in more than one area, Sag. While some would say that Saturn in your sign will result in restrictions, this may not be the case as if you have worked towards a concrete goal, Saturn can reward like no other planet. Except perhaps your ruler Jupiter who is in your 11th of goals, wishes and dreams. Do whatever you can to make those dreams reality and you could benefit from both as the year unfolds.

November begins with the old and the new vying for your attention. Time to tie up loose ends, finish off anything outstanding and even pay off debts – and these include emotional and soul debts as well as the other kind, before the Sun reaches your 1st on the 22nd. The shadows of your old cycle are beginning to fade away now and one aspect of the remaining planetary action in your 12th will be that you will be able to see what comes forward with you into your new cycle and what you leave behind. The 2nd sees the Moon, Venus and Saturn in your 1st squaring Neptune in your 4th as you look at what you have established this past year that is of enduring value, what still needs work and what can be let go of. Stay connected to the truth of this and what serves you and what no longer does especially after Neptune heads direct again in your 4th which has all to do with your long term security and emotional needs, from the 20th.

Is there a love that needs to be let go of or alternatively, resurrected and taken with you into the future? Venus in your 1st trines Uranus in your 5th and the same day Mercury and Lilith meet in your 12th. Is there a potential new lover? Juno ruler of marriage and partnerships is in your 1st from the 7th and is set for encounters with the Sun, Moon and Mercury as the month progresses perhaps taking a new connection from initial attraction to something more substantial (or reviving an old one). Then you have a big conjunction between Uranus, Eris and Ceres in your 5th of romance. It’s a funny thing about T-Square aspects as they contain a lot of tension – like the one which appears containing Jupiter your ruler on the 8th – and also a huge potential for opportunity. And funny that this one occurs on the same day as the US Presidential election. Uranus says try something new and with a flash of genius. The results could make others sit up and take notice and prove to be a real game-changer thanks to Pluto. Plus there’s the self-worth factor of seeing yourself differently.

Mars in your 3rd adds impetus to your ideas so you are hardly likely to be a ‘gunna do’ while he is in here. He will also boost your confidence and your ability to get your point across. However, ensure you fact-check or get someone to do this for you as he can make you a little slap-dash as he is all about bold strokes and not the details! However, Mars will aid your powers of conviction and you determination to see your ideas through – all of which will prove to be beneficial when you consider the position of this month’s full Supermoon.

Time to take one last look at any habits you want to change before your birthday as a full Supermoon lights up your 6th on the 14th. Make changes to your diet, your exercise regimen and also bring any work projects to completion now and that includes plans to apply for new work if you have been thinking about this. In fact, if you are not happy in your current job then you may be feeling an intense desire to do something about this now. However, just quitting may not be your solution as being out of work on your birthday may not contribute to the party spirit! Instead come up with a plan to find something more suitable and you do have help to do that as Venus has been in her ruling house and your money zone from the 12th. The 2nd house is all about the money we earn as it is rules our self-worth, our talents and our skills. Venus is now heading straight for Pluto in here who she encounters on the 25th and both will square Jupiter in your 11th while Mercury in your 1st meets Saturn on the 23rd and makes a more positive angle to Jupiter. All this adds up to doors opening and serious opportunities for you especially if it involves you dealing with people on a larger scale than usual in what you do.

New beginnings and most of all a new you is what the Sun’s arrival in your sign is all about. It’s time to set your course for the next year. How about at least one brand new goal to go along with the new ‘you’? Look at your goals and see if they are still relevant. As we evolve, what we want can change. Has this happened without you realising it? With Jupiter in your 11th you know you have a better than 12 year chance of achieving a goal – but you have to really want it and it has to resonate with who you are right now. While it is time to celebrate it is also a time of preparation and that is preparing for where you want to go and what you want to achieve in the next 12 months. Do you have a clear idea of what this is? It’s going to be a busy period but when you do find yourself on your own, take some time to get clear about the direction you want to head in and what you want to achieve. Revisit any hobbies or interests that you love as they could contain the seeds of future success. Above all, check with your inner self about how things truly make you feel and when you get feedback – do something about this.

As the new Moon appears in your sign on the 29th it falls conjunct the Sun and Juno. Time to get yourself noticed and live life large. Get a little Kardashian and act like the star of your own show. Do things differently and think differently and if your inner voice is whispering some new and radical ideas especially when it comes to romance or work then try a little daring and follow through with these as Venus squares Uranus, Eris and Ceres in your 5th. You’re destined to be noticed now and this is a trend that is set to continue on into 2017. Live it large.

NOVEMBER FORECAST FOR CAPRICORN:

Karma, the deep side of life, hidden dimensions, the multiverse, quantum spirituality, the past and your past lives, inspiration, healing, your subconscious, psychic abilities, metaphysics and miracles, the deep ocean of universal truth – as you can tell you are diving deep this November.

When these themes emerge we can often find ourselves seeking time alone and if this is what your higher self is telling you then go with it. Don’t worry – you’re not going to miss out on anything and you’ll emerge again in plenty of time for the party season. But if you really want to curl up with a book which explores any of the above subjects or sit listening to uplifting music – or just perfect the fine art of tuning into your higher self and seeing what emerges, then there may not be a better way for you to be spending the darker evenings now.

Your intuition, higher self or whatever you want to call it is making itself known to you now. Ruler Saturn occupies your 12th and he is working with you to uncover and remove blockages that restrict you – if you are willing to listen. The Moon, Venus and Saturn all meet in here at the top of the month and square Neptune the ruler of your 12th in your 3rd. If you ask for answers now chances are you will receive them and please be open to what they are. Venus also in your 12th trines Uranus in your 4th and this could involve an insight into a family dynamic that you were unable to see before. You may see how your past and where you have lived in the past –and even your past lives, have impacted on your present circumstances.

Your 12th rules things you cannot see but nonetheless exist. This includes hidden enemies and often we are our own worst one. As the month progresses you may uncover ways you have been unwittingly sabotaging yourself in the past. If you do confront past issues please do not dwell too long on this or start a cycle of self-recrimination. Understand you were doing the best you could with the knowledge you

had at that time. Saturn wants you to take it on board and learn from it – and then use it to make different decisions in the future. Mercury in your 12th from the 12th boosts your intuitive insights and can act like a high speed internet connection to the spiritual realm. After all, Mercury is the Messenger of the Gods. Often we are too busy to hear what our intuition to saying – which is why when we get the urge to unplug for a while, we can tune in. Past loves may feature or at least the memory of these as Juno also enters your 12th on the 7th.

November is not all about unplugging and intuition for you however. I did say you were not going to miss out on anything and I meant that! Your social life and romantic opportunities – your way! Mercury and Lilith meet in your 11th on the 5th and expect a meeting between Lilith and the Sun on the 11th. Venus enters your 1st on the 12th, you can experience the simple power of attraction and then see this magnified when Venus reaches Pluto in your 1st later in the month. Be careful what you wish for now as you may attract it! More on this later.

With a full Supermoon this month occurring in your 5th – the opposing house to your 11th, then an encounter with lover who understands you could be the result when you do resurface and join the real world once more. The full Supermoon may just boost that attraction you are already feeling and the result is a lover who meets you on your level matching your needs and desires. You’ll know it if you have this thanks to all these extra insights you’ve been downloading. What could be a new beginning for some may be an ending around the time of this full Moon for others however if they realise a romance is not going to live up to its initial promise. Chances are however you have known this for a while and this does not come as a complete surprise. For most of you however, romance could just take you to a new, exciting and more passionate place. Lilith is spicing things up and you are not shy about asking for what you want!

After all the deep stuff you’ve been dealing with fun and not work will be on your mind by the time this full Supermoon hits. As a result, as well as inner work you may want to focus on work and career matters at the start of the month, kick back mid-month and then re-focus on career matters again after the third week. The reason behind this timing is that the 8th brings you a T-Square which some astrologers now refer to as a ‘Talent Triangle’. It contains angles between planets that create the kind of energy you need to stretch and push against – in other words, it will stretch your talents and capabilities. But unless you do that, how will you ever experience that sense of achievement? One occurs the day of the US Presidential Election and this one has Pluto in your 1st squaring Jupiter in your career sector and Uranus, Eris and Ceres all together in your 4th. This is a Yes, you CAN aspect when it comes to taking a career step or even finding out how innovative you can get when it comes to reaching that goal. You have additional help right now from Mars as he sets you off in pursuit of financial success and soaring self-assurance as he enters your 2nd from the 9th. You have a winning mindset now so don’t be surprised if like a general for some of this month you launch a success campaign and then retreat again.

It is important to recharge or even indulge in a few carefree moments and allow you inner child out to play. Part of exploring your 12th house is all about what used to give you joy and the Sun in here from the 22nd will illuminate what makes your soul soar – or used to do so. So, go on – play and then get back to business as Mercury meets

ruler Saturn and makes a positive angle at Jupiter just as Venus reaches Pluto in your 1st.

This month’s new Moon in your 12th falls conjunct the Sun and Juno in here – at the same time as Venus in your 1st squares the Uranus/Eris/Ceres conjunction in the Moon’s ruling house – your 4th. Do you yearn for a different and more individual lifestyle that reflects and supports who you are? How do you want to be living? After taking action in the outer world you may retreat once again into your inner one. You may also get the feeling that something is about to happen but you are not sure what or even when. You’ve had a month where serious inner work has contrasted with fun, perhaps even romance and a smidgen of success. As you look back on this month reflect on what worried or concerned you as the month unfolded. Chances are when you look back now you will wonder why you were so concerned at the time and have a new sense of empowerment and confidence in how you actually dealt with it. The object of this month is to put you in touch with your inner voice and also to show you that when you trust yourself, things just have a way of working out. Yes, you can journey to the deep side of life but you can also laugh, play, live and love too. This month could offer you a taste of all life has to offer. Welcome to the banquet, Capricorn.

NOVEMBER FORECAST FOR AQUARIUS:

Get ready for a month where you are vibeing off everything that sets you soul alight, Aquarius. Our 11th house is lit up this month and you are after all, the 11th house of the zodiac. Not only is ruler Uranus busy in your 3rd intent on bringing you electrifying new ideas and news but the people around you now could have a big impact on your path for a long time to come. Not only that, let’s not for one moment forget that the 11th house rules our goals, wishes and dreams and one of those could just become reality this month or you take a determined step towards making it come true!

Your ancient ruler before the discovery of Uranus was Saturn and what we always have to bear in mind is that the ancient rulers still exert an influence over us – especially if they are sitting in their old ruling houses! That’s certainly the case when it comes to your ancient ruler Saturn. Please make an effort to connect and accept all invitations this month. It may take a little more effort than usual but I promise you it will be worth it. Saturn is intent on delivering influential people who wish to offer you assistance in some way, shape or form. There may be no agenda attached to this. Be on the look out for people who while they may not necessarily be older are experienced, wise and have attained some kind of position of authority or success. Yes, there may be an age difference one way or another. But what matters most is their view of the world.

Opportunities are there at the start of the month but you have to look for them as they may appear in disguise as the Moon and Venus meets Saturn and square Neptune in your 2nd while Venus makes a wonderful angle to modern-day ruler Uranus. I’m not saying that a new connection may turn out to be a romantic one but it can lean that way! As you are the sign of individuality, you should understand better than any other that your success lies in being who you are with no apologies not. This is also true when it comes to your career as the Sun and Mercury are still in this sector and both will meet Lilith, the Dark Moon of self-empowerment and refusing to be anything but who you are to please others. Mercury meets her on the 5th and the Sun on the 11th and in between this happening, Mars will power into your 1st adding dynamic zest and a desire to succeed to everything you do. Mars is also a planet who is not about to apologise for who or what he is, so be yourself albeit perhaps a more confident version of you especially when it comes to work and career matters.

Something is about to emerge or be revealed in your life between the start of the second week of November and Neptune heading to direct motion on the 20th. The 8th sees a powerful T-Square form – yes, there is tension in the air the day of the US Presidential Election but also opportunity! ON a personal level for you those opportunities lie with big, blue sky thinking as ruler Uranus along with Eris and Ceres oppose Jupiter in his ruling house and square Pluto in your 12th. Venus also enters your 12th on the 12th and she is heading towards Pluto for a meeting at the end of the month. When she encounters him which will be on the 25th they will both square Jupiter and also that big Uranus conjunction. News may surprise but also liberate you or you could be alerted to something that has been going on right under your nose but you have been unable to see or been unaware of until now. A need to know basis? Yes, you do need to know. This may involve someone close to you and if you do not like what has been exposed, be prepared for good-byes if necessary. Others could change their whole spiritual dynamic and adopt a new mental outlook as the revelation could also just involve you seeing where you have been holding yourself back and a bolt of out of the blue provides an alternative way of dealing with the issue for the future. With future-changing results.

Mercury enters your 11th on the 12th and should this should see invitations to spend time with like-minded people who have exciting ideas to share with you. If you are invited to join a club, group, organisation or attend a conference or convention please do so and have those business cards handy. Also hang on to any you are given now as they will prove to be important. Make that extra effort to reach out and meet new people especially if they come from a different social circle, culture, profession or strata of society than you usually mix with. The whole point of this cycle is to be as universal and inclusive as possible.

However, this month’s full Moon falls in her ruling house and is also a Supermoon. Get family and home matters in order and be prepared for strong emotions and feelings of vulnerability. You may find yourself wanting to withdraw and cocoon as this full Moon appears but actually you are better off making an effort to be out and about. Even inviting people around to your home is better than sitting alone. You will also be focussed on career matters and long term plans now and these may enter a crucial stage. You are looking at the future and where you want to get to and seeing how far you still have to go. This may involve a big decision as an opportunity could appear that calls for some serious consideration on your part. Take this full

Supermoon period to think things through carefully before giving your answer if you can.

Juno entered your 11th on the 7th and she is the ruler of marriage and traditional partnerships. If you are single and seeking at this time then you will be drawn to someone highly unusual, mentally challenging and who even has a touch of the genius about them! Mercury meets Juno in here on the same day as the full Supermoon occurs which is another reason for not staying home if you can possibly avoid it as you could meet that special person by the light of this Moon. Don’t worry if you don’t however and you could feel fate at work now as the Sun appears in your 11th on the 22nd and Mercury meets Saturn on the 23rd and makes a wonderful, opportunity laden angle to Jupiter too. If travelling, destiny could bring about a kismet-laden encounter or if not, you could meet someone where you have to admit fate has played a hand in bringing you together. Again, this may not be a romantic connection although it has that potential, but it will be an important one for you. As Venus and Pluto are about to meet in your 12th there may be a past or even a past-life connection unfolding so consider this. The more improbable the coincidence, the more likely you have been together before!

The new Moon in your 11th on the 29th speaks of more new connections to be made. Please bear in mind that the planets only nudge us in certain directions. If you want to draw new people into your life you must make the effort by at least putting yourself in the position where they can find you. In other words, let yourself be seen and reach out to those people you have not heard from in a while. If you become a recluse, you will remain that way for some time to come so please, if you don’t want to be a hermit, take steps to change that for yourself and you will find people will meet you on your path if you just take a few steps along it.

The month ends with a truly beautiful encounter between that new Moon, the Sun and Juno. Wonderful new connections can be made now. Go seek them out.

NOVEMBER FORECAST FOR PISCES:

The power of insight, intuition and creativity is yours with which to influence people in your career at the start of November, Pisces. In work and career matters, you intuitively know what people are looking for and can craft what you say or even how you present yourself accordingly. Pay particular attention to your professional or work image and how you come across especially to bosses (or prospective bosses) and people in positions of authority. You can win these people over to your cause with ease with a little attention to detail and fine tuning. As the Moon and Venus meet Saturn in his ruling house in your chart and beam across to your ruler Neptune, they Weave a little magic and bring glamour to your act whether you are seeking to impress on a professional or a personal level. So long as you are authentic, people will

respond in a positive manner. Showcase those smarts and what you can bring to the table as Venus trines Uranus in your 2nd.

It is important to be seen as someone who knows what they are talking about – and knows what they want in all areas of their life. Time to ditch the superficial, dead-ends and time-wasters. Juno in this house from the 7th is all about on the most dedicated and serious relationships or potential lovers. You are not about to let your heart go to just anyone. Attracting that serious and even successful lover or making a lasting impression on someone is highlighted from mid-month when Mercury enters your 10th and will meet Juno on the 14th and the Sun will follow.

Changes regarding your salary or income or shared resources also impact on all this as Uranus, Eris and Ceres in your money house oppose Jupiter in your 8th and square Pluto in your 11th. This rather tight T-Square occurs the day of the US Presidential Election and for many of us on a personal level, may come to symbolise our personal power dynamic. With Mars in your 12th from the 9th you may be tapping into internal resources you did not know you had which may make you a formidable negotiator. You are unlikely to back down from your position or sticking out for what you want. However, Mars in your 12th is all about sniffing out what is holding you back and then doing something about it. This transit is very much what I like to call the Psychic Detective transit. However, think True Detective rather than Medium here. Mars will not hesitate to delve where you may not want to look. With Mercury and then the Sun conjunct Lilith the Dark Moon in your 9th you are on a mission to uncover whatever may be holding you back or not be operating on the same level of authenticity that you are. If you have a feeling this is going on, you will not rest until you have uncovered the truth – even if you don’t like what that is when you confront it. This may all come to a head when ruler Neptune turns direct in your 1st on the 20th.

The full Supermoon in your 3rd on the day that Mercury and Juno are conjunct in your 10th. You may feel pulled every which way now, inundated with work, messages, people needing things done NOW and this may feel overwhelming to say the least. Try to stay as organised as possible and whatever you do, don’t even try to be in two places at once. Keep a diary, reconfirm all meetings and arrangements, respond to all calls, emails etc in a timely manner and don’t even try to multitask unless you want to end up completely frazzled! This full Moon can feel very much like a Mercury retrograde but super-sized and much more draining on the emotions. To cope you are much better off focussing on one task, completely that and then moving on to the next rather than trying to spread yourself too thin. If you do, mistakes can and will occur so be warned!

After this you need some light relief and Venus provides this moving off into your 11th. You could be looking at something to celebrate now – perhaps that job or business milestone as Mercury and then the Sun enters here and Mercury meets Saturn and both sextile Jupiter. Even if that is not the case, Venus brings you good times and good company while she is in here. She also loves to say ‘yes’ so you could even get a helping hand from the goddess of love and pleasure when it comes to a personal goal. Normally I would say that Venus alone in here is not enough to bring about a romance as this is primarily the house of friendship. A transformative connection could be made however as she meets up with Pluto in here and also Uranus, Eris and Ceres in your money zone. However, your 2nd is Venus’s ruling

house and Jupiter sits in Pluto’s house as part of this. Yes, one result is a meeting that boosts your bottom line. The other is a serious and magnetic sexual attraction with someone who may be impossible to resist.

As the new Moon appears in your 10th at the end of the month you could be looking at a new job, a connection which has serious potential in the long term or something that has others seeing you in a totally different light now. This represents a door opening and perhaps one you have been knocking on for some time. What makes this new Moon extra special is that it happens to fall conjunct the Sun and Juno in your 10th when it occurs. Whomever you find yourself aligned with now could be walking the same path as you for some time to come. Chances are this is exactly the kind of success story you’re dying to tell this November.

MOON SIGNS AND THEIR MEANINGS

FIND YOUR OWN HERE (plus your emotional compatibility with another's moon sign):
http://www.alwaysastrology.com/moon-signs.html

In astrology language, your Sun sign dictates your zodiac personality, while your Moon sign, the second most important influence in your horoscope chart after the Sun, represents your emotions, your inner mood. And the two together strongly influence your emotional mode of operation. Your Sun sign is easy to determine, through your day and month of birth. Your Moon sign can be determined by a calculation of your full date, place and time of birth. The Moon moves quickly around the zodiac, taking one month to visit all signs and stays in each sign an approximate two-day period, hence, if the Moon is about to ingress to the next sign on the day of your birth, you will need to know your time of birth for an accurate Moon sign placement. An exact time of birth is always the most favorable, but even if you have an approximate time, depending on how close it is to the Moon changing signs, an astrologer can determine your Moon sign.


Mine is TAURUS - what is yours and how accurate is it?

IF YOUR MOON IS IN:

Emotional ARIES:
Aries are ruled by the red-hot, strong-minded planet Mars, and the energy can either be motivating and assertive or determined and aggressive. The influence of Mars can make you impulsive, intense and quick to act and overreact. Emotionally, you can be fiery with a short temper. The very essence of Aries needs competitive challenge and strives on a certain level of excitement in any form. And while it is positive to release pent up energy, you can leave the person on the receiving end of your release wounded long after you have moved on. The great thing about Aries from an emotional point of view is you don't hold a grudge—once you get something off your chest, you quickly forgive and forget.

Emotional TAURUS:
Love goddess Venus, lover of all things beautiful, rules Taurus and this vibration also influences your inner mood making you a sensitive and caring person, which means you are well liked but can be taken advantage of. When in love, you give your all, but expect the same back. And if you feel suspicious of your partner, you can be possessive and controlling. When your desires are not met or you are disrespected in some way and become hurt, you can close off and repress your emotions, giving you time to sort out in your mind and heart how the land lies. If treated well, you are open, loving, and sensual; the best ever lover or friend. Your emotions are soothed by your surroundings and you cope better with life if those surroundings provide security and comfort.

Emotional GEMINI:
Ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, you can become bored quickly if there is not enough action to stimulate your mind, and can often be mischievous, and play tricks and mind games, simply for the fun of it; meaning no harm, of course. Your challenge is to slow down and not fill every moment with constant activity, and this way you can take stock of how you 'feel' rather than how you 'think'. Easy enough one would think, but not so much for a Gemini or Gemini Moon. As soon as your emotions are challenged you can put on your rose colored glasses, preferring to see things the way you want, rather than how they are. On the other hand, you are clever, curious with a playful nature and when you allow your feelings to show, can be very sentimental and open hearted–a joy to be around!

Emotional CANCER:
Cancer is ruled by the Moon, which makes you a highly sensitive and emotional being. As the Moon changes signs quickly, this constant change can also make you somewhat moody. You operate by your feelings, and even if something logically looks sound, you will rarely go against how you feel, and can make decisions based purely on instincts. You are easily hurt, but have an outer protection (the crab's shell) and will instinctually pull back and shut down to protect yourself. You are a savvy operator, a strong person and have an emotional strength that could be referred to as 'fragile steel'. As a Cancer, you give people a certain amount of chances/warnings, and if they still tamper with your heart, you have been known to cut your looses, and walk way without a single glance back. Once the door is closed, it is locked. But treat you well, your depth of emotions are revealed as loyal, protective and nurturing.

Emotional LEO:
The Sun, being our most powerful force, the center of our solar system, and Leo's ruler, gives you the confidence and stamina to take charge of your life as well as your emotions. You strive on being the leader, and excel when your talents are recognized and admired. When you are emotionally out of sorts, your natural bossiness can take over, with you being petty and conceited. On the positive side, enthusiastic and extravagant, you are generous of heart and spirit, and care deeply about those who love and support you. Your emotions are closely linked to your pride and as you love to be the center of attention, your emotions are heightened when you are out front and proud of whom you are and what you do.

Emotional VIRGO:
Ruled by Mercury, the thinking planet, you are an intellectual being, emotionally reserved and have a strong sense of self. However, you do have a tendency to over analyze and get too caught up in petty details that can distract your attention from the big picture and how you feel at a heart level. You tend to be critical and picky, but the truth is, Virgo, you are only this way with the people you love and care about, otherwise, they wouldn't even rate on your radar. You are your emotional best when you can reach out and offer your services to others, but only those who appreciate your efforts. Criticism is also directed at yourself, and you can be your hardest critique, striving for the best, but often an unattainable outcome. The solution – be kind to yourself.

Emotional LIBRA:
Venus, the planet of love, beauty and grace, rules Libra; all things on top of Libra's must-have list. As you are the sign of the scales, one of the ways you keep your emotions balanced is to continually try to keep your environment, as well as the people you deal with, as harmonious as possible. You seek to get along with people, and can often put their needs before yours in an attempt to keep everything agreeable, which may be good for them, but in the end will unsettle you and upset your equilibrium. When you go too far in one direction of giving up too much of your own needs, the pendulum can swing the other way, and you feel taken advantage of and can become irritable and snarky. Seek the balance between your needs and those of others – that's the sweet spot.

Emotional SCORPIO:
Scorpio's ruler, Pluto, the planet of transformation, influences your inner world with intensity, power and the desire to probe to the very depths, for truth. Emotional fulfillment lies in honest connections with others that include strong, sensitive and passionate expression. If you are annoyed, angered or upset, people may never know as you hide your emotions under a cool demeanor choosing instead not to reveal your position. This can make others suspicious, and you use it as your secret weapon. In many ways, you live for the drama of life, emotional intensity, as it makes you feel alive. On the other hand, the more control you have over your own emotions, the more powerful you feel. When you mix with people you have a deep emotional commitment with, you embrace them with a love and protectiveness that is unmatched by any other.

Emotional SAGITTARIUS:
Ruled by Jupiter, the planet of wisdom and expansion, your emotions are heightened with the spirit of adventure, a thirst for knowledge and a desire to explore different belief systems. As a seeker of truth, you feel unsettled if you are required to keep a secret and can bluntly tell others what you feel they need to know. And even if the truth hurts, it will relieve emotional tension and allow you to feel comfortable once again in your own skin. You love to experience life to the full, and preferably with someone by your side, even if you do shy away from making a commitment. You are positive and optimistic and will generally not stay in a negative mood for long, choosing to live life on a higher vibration.

Emotional CAPRICORN:
Capricorn's ruler, somber Saturn, the teacher and planet of reality, influences your inner mood with a no-nonsense, driven and solitary quality. As a Capricorn, to keep your emotions equalized, you need a decompressing time between your busy schedule and before mingling with others in the outer world. But it is important not to stay in solitude for too long so you avoid entering the space of the saturnine blues. You are comfortable with your own company, but you do better when you mix with others. Your need to feel worthwhile with your place in the world can be a serious endeavor and it is often not until your later years, when you feel a sense of achievement, that you can really feel relax and settled. You don't give your heart easily, but when you do love and trust a special someone, you give your all.

Emotional AQUARIUS:
Uranus, planet of independence and innovation, your ruler, permeates your mood with individuality and a refusal to walk in anyone else's shoes. You are a trailblazer, and as such, can be in your own world, leaving others to think you are standoffish, when really, you are just sorting things out in your mind. So, in this sense, you do better to associate with people who are secure within themselves, secure enough to allow you the freedom to be who you are without taking your so-called aloofness personally. Only then can you truly be balanced emotionally, otherwise, you are continually sidetracked by other's anxieties. You can be unpredictable, and that goes for your emotions, too. A good in-depth conversation with someone of substance, will sooth your soul.

Emotional PISCES:
Pisces' ruler, Neptune, planet of inspiration and compassion, influences your emotions with profound sensitivity and empathy. A spiritual connection and a practice of meditative silence that allows you to access your dreams and imagination will keep your emotions in check. And a balance between escapism and reality is what helps you to be affective in the world. A Sanctuary, a place you feel safe in, is key to your happiness. You have an innocence about you—highly sensitive and feel as well as show your emotional state easily. For this reason, you need to be selective of the people you allow in to share your life, especially as you have a tendency to care too much and can easily pick up, and take on, other peoples' attitudes and emotions. As a dual sign, the symbol of the two fishes, the key to emotional stability is to ensure you have a balance between the analytical (mind) and follow your instincts (heart)—follow this rule and you will feel more at peace within yourself.

Following on from the moon signs, it's a good time to mention the Supermoon which is occurring on the 14th NOVEMBER.
This moon will affect everyone but those with a  TAURUS moon sign and it's opposite -SCORPIO moon sign (check the link provided to find yours) will feel this more intensely all the way through from now until Monday night.

The November Full Moon falls on the 14th and is one of the brightest and boldest Supermoons that we won’t experience again until 2034.

This rare Supermoon falls in the sign of Taurus, which is a steady and practical earth sign. Taurus is represented by the Bull and in ancient mythology, the Bull represents illumination.


Taurus energy is about hitting that “bullseye” in order to awaken to our fullest potential and realize our goals, dreams and wishes.

Even though Supermoons are often highly emotional, this Taurus energy is going to bring a calming and grounding effect.

In fact, November’s Supermoon is going to help us to see things from a more practical and logical point of view and will even help us to put some actionable plans into place.

Emotions are likely to be high leading up to November’s Full Moon due to the many watery planets that are active in the early part of the month.

When the Moon shifts into Taurus however, we are going to feel a calming effect and will be able to see things with a newfound clarity.

The Taurus Full Moon also comes as a reminder for us to think about our self worth and feelings of security in the world. This is on both a practical and a spiritual level.

On a practical level, this Full Moon may be bringing up issues with finances that we need to address.

Taking responsibility for how you spend your money and how you earn your money is going to be highlighted by this Full Moon and perhaps this energy may help you to take a more conservative and practical approach.

If you have a poor relationship with money, this Supermoon energy may also be the perfect time to think about mending your relationship with your finances and to start thinking more abundantly.

We live in an abundant Universe where all our needs are taken care of. The more we can hold and act on this belief, the easier it is going to be for us to align with the energy of abundance.

On a spiritual level, this Taurus Full Moon will be asking us to take a closer look at our feelings of self worth and emotional security.

If you have been feeling insecure in your body or in who you are, the Full Moon may expose these wounds in order to bring healing.

This Full Moon is also going to be helping us think about our self worth on a deeper level as well. Questions may be raised like- Am I living life up to my fullest potential? What self limiting beliefs are holding me back?

Questions like these may be amplified on the Full Moon and may help to bring some awareness or awakening over where you are leading with your fears and what changes you can make to start living a life that truly feels good.

Taurus energy favors practicality and taking a methodical approach to achieving your goals, so perhaps thinking about your life from this standpoint will be beneficial.

The Taurus Supermoon is also going to be bringing closure to the events that happened back on the October New Moon. If issues stirred for you on or around this time, this Full Moon may help to bring some closure or understanding.

November’s Supermoon is going to bring a powerful energy and vibration to the world that we may already be starting to feel.

Overall, this Taurus Supermoon is here to teach us how to ground our emotions, enhance our feelings of self worth and open our hearts to the abundance of the Universe.

After the supermoon, how has it affected your week ahead?

WEEK AHEAD BEGINNING 14th NOVEMBER

Aries

A financial matter may come to a head this week or your emotional connection to money is tested. In other words we could be looking at self-worth matters rather than material ones as a full Supermoon waxes in your house of money and assets. Are you connected to abundance or at the very least, an abundance mindset? This is the biggest, brightest and closest full Supermoon we have seen since the 1940’s. Review your relationship and emotional ties with money if needed and also any values you have around your value being pegged by how much of the folding stuff you have. Love needs to be a journey or an adventure for you and if you are travelling this week you could just attract a travelling companion who epitomises that. Even if you are not venturing far from home chances are you could encounter someone who feels love should be a lifetime journey to be taken together. Spice up an existing relationship by starting a journey back to passion of your own. Neptune is now direct again in your 12th and that journey may also include exploring your psychic abilities and seeing where they can take you as well. Channel the spirit of adventure this week.

Taurus

Reconnecting with old friends or discovering new ones with whom you share a spiritual resonance could be an aspect of Neptune direct in your 11th from this week. Spiritual goals rather than material ones should be your focus now so focus on enlightenment and self-improvement as your gateway to other more material or emotional goals. Deep feelings around partners or even insecurities could be the result of the Mercury/Juno meeting in your 8th. Time to share these while singles want to have a meeting of souls as well as a meeting of minds and bodies. If a prospective lover cannot meet you on the soul plane that you crave, then an attraction may go no further. You’re very focussed on your needs this week thanks to a full Supermoon in your 1st – one of the biggest Supermoons we have seen for a very long time. It will pull you deep within as you explore those emotions you may have kept hidden even from yourself. Don’t be afraid to bring everything you’re feeling to the surface now as by doing this, you’ll get to know yourself – and those desires so much better. If you’re single and on a date on this night, you will be more open and honest than usual even with someone you have only just met. You’ve got your finger on your emotional triggers this week but what this really means is you no longer need to react the way you have. Result? You are free from emotional undercurrents and sabotage once and for all and this in turn frees those who are just waiting to love you that little bit deeper now.

Gemini

This week sees the biggest, brightest, closest full Supermoon since 1948. It will rise in your mysterious 12th house magnifying your psychic abilities, intuition and delivering potent dream experiences and enhanced intuition. Pay close attention to what is revealed by the light of this Moon as something significant will be. Surrender to the tides that want to wash you up on the shores of enlightenment. There is something you need to know. This Moon shows what that is. Meanwhile, ruler Mercury meets Juno in your 7th. Juno like Venus loves to be in this house in your chart as this is your house of partnerships and Juno rules marriage and traditional unions of all kinds – we can say a formal business partnership would come under this heading. Mercury is facilitating communication and shared ideas plus any union that provides learning and expansion could get a green light under this transit. Neptune heads retrograde again in your career sector and provided you keep your feet on the ground and your head attuned to practical matters, you can bring additional insight to bear on your career path. Bear in mind the full Supermoon took place in Neptune’s ruling house. Heed those insights and nudges that are getting your aligned with your soul path and true calling to channel the wisdom of success now.

Cancer

You are either in the best company you could be with surrounded by kindred souls – or find yourself surrounded by those who simply don’t ‘get’ you. Which will it be, Cancer? Get ready as your ruler the Moon is not only full and Supersized, but this will be the biggest, brightest and closest Supermoon since the 1940’s! Most of us will never have experienced a Moon of this intensity and as this is your ruler, you can expect extreme emotional tides which will pull you one way or the other. Which will it be? Looking for love by the light of this Moon? Well, being out and about could just place you in Cupid’s path as this is of course, your house of socialising, the Internet and also the unexpected. Mercury is in his ruling house and meets Juno the planet of marriage and all formal unions in here. So, don’t rule out meeting someone via your work or a pet. You never know that fellow dog-walker could turn into someone bow-wow-WOW! If you are on a date by the light of this full Moon again, you will either be totally attuned with one another or else wondering how to make your excuses and head home early with a bottle of wine to binge-watch Poldark. Neptune direct in your 9th from this week offers spiritual learning and deep karmic ties to explore via travel, higher studies or foreigners. You can open doors to higher realms of experience now if you are ready.

Leo

What is it you want to be known for? What is it you want to achieve? Are you prepared to sit in the hot seat as far as your career goes and show what you are made of? Time to strut your serious professional stuff like you have never done before as the biggest, brightest and closest Supermoon to Earth since the 1940’s sails into your 10th on the 14th. Do not whatever you do allow any emotional insecurities to undermine you. Hold your head high and project self-assurance and confidence. This could be a decisive period for you as people in positions of authority sit up and take notice. Change is in the air heralded by Neptune in your 8th of personal power and corporate money heads direct from the 20th so come from a place of established self-worth and empowerment if you are negotiating a salary, deal or any kind of financial arrangement which involves another or a company. So, where’s the fun stuff? Right here in your fabulous 5th as the god of all things flirtatious Mercury meets Juno ruler of serious partnerships. That banter with someone witty and charismatic could lead to something serious. In fact this could be a seriously successful week for you – both professionally and personally if you take yourself seriously now.

Virgo

Set me free! Prepare for that release if that’s been your anthem recently, Virgo. The full Moon which opens not just doors but wide open spaces and new vistas for you appears in your 9th this week. You can expect something bigger – a larger world experience to be entering your life and asking you to participate. Why? Well, not only is this a full Moon but this is a Supermoon and not only that the biggest, brightest and closest full Supermoon to Earth since the 1940’s. Many of us will never have felt a pull this strong and for you it is all going to be about enhanced freedom on some level. Ruler Mercury wants to hygge with someone special as he is in your 4th of home, family and security. He’s looking around the cosmos for that perfect snuggle buddy when who does he encounter? Juno the goddess asteroid of marriage and traditional relationships. Now in your house of family and traditions. This encounter could just bring about someone not just to hygge out with but to start a new tradition with too. Playing for keeps? Keep the hygge happening as the heat turns up. Neptune now direct in your 7th says that spiritual union is as important as the other stuff. Can you be free and be entwined at the same time? How about thinking of it all as having somewhere and someone where the adventures begin and end and even continue with? Start that journey this week.

Libra

What pushes your buttons or stirs up your fears or insecurities? Taking a stand may be necessary this week as may be negotiating or merely just showing someone where the boundaries lie. Should they cross these, I cannot guarantee an ending will not take place due to the massive, brilliant and cosmically close full Supermoon in your sector of endings, transformations and corporate/shared money. A transformation which has been underway for some time may now complete as this is the closest Supermoon to Earth since 1948. Many of us alive will never have experienced a pull like this so expect the results to be significant to say the least. You may arise from this transformed like the phoenix. Meanwhile, Mercury in his ruling house in your chart (3rd) could deliver an important connection as he encounters the heavenly body you very much vibe with – Juno planetoid of marriage and traditional partnerships. This person could be encountered in your neighbourhood or on your commute or be drawn to you via shared ideas. Neptune heads direct in your house of work and wellbeing and you need to apply insights you have been gathering into the work and wellness connection for yourself. Letting go of something or that big change – no matter what buttons it pushes, could be your key to working and feeling better now.

Scorpio

The most powerful full Supermoon we have seen in decades – well, in almost 70 years to be exact, appears this week in your house of partnerships and all close long term relationships. This Supermoon will be at its closest to Earth since 1948 and if we have clear skies will be the biggest and brightest most of us will ever have seen. It will exert a powerful and perhaps irresistible pull on you – either pulling you closer towards someone or dragging you away depending on the state of your relationship. It will be like the tide and you won’t be able to swim against it. So, date night will either be filled with depth and understanding or you won’t be able to wait to get out of there. If you are in a relationship, then you will want to either move it to a deeper level or else end things and if you do need to do the latter, now is the perfect time for this. I you have just met someone or are seeking, then the combination of this full Moon and Neptune direct in your romance zone from the 20th could wash up someone with whom you feel a deep emotional and spiritual affinity. You will also be testing the waters to see how serious their intentions are and what they are seeking early on as Mercury bumps into Juno in your 2nd. Either they are looking for the same thing you are or you won’t bother with time wasters or anyone who is not on the same wavelength as you. Get serious about your love requirements this week.

Sagittarius

Making a change in your work situation, to a wellbeing issue or just a habit you have been trying to kick – all could come under the influence of this week’s full Supermoon which is the brightest, most potent and closest to Earth we have experienced since 1948. So, we can safely say that most of us will never before have felt this kind of pull. Time to get to grips with something, Sag. You may make a sudden change – or it may appear sudden to others, but the fact is you may have been contemplating this for some time and this Moon just provides the impetus to finally take that step. That and the fact your birthday cycle is shortly about to begin so looking at what you want to take with you into this forms part of your decision making process. Stay connected to what you do want from the future as it may be all too easy to lose track of that and just go from day to day as Neptune heads direct in your 4th. However, this is a great transit for anyone working from home in a psychic, alternative healing or even creative capacity. The same day as that Supermoon appears sees Mercury conjunct Juno in your 1st. This could turn your mind to your relationship future or if you are looking for someone, just what kind of a person you would need to create that future with. Chances are they may seek you out now and the sharing of ideas sparks concepts like ‘togetherness’ more than anything else. Juno says there’s someone for everyone and that person could just be well – someone like you.

Capricorn

Expect passion to be heightened in a way you may not have experienced before. A creative project may be completed. A love affair which begins this week may feel instantly and unusually passionate from the get-go. Or you take the plunge and an existing one heads to the next level. You are in a spontaneous mood and refusing to take things too seriously. Fun and pleasure top your agenda and everything else may get put on the back-burner. What’s going on? Well, this week’s full Supermoon is the biggest and closest to Earth that we’ve seen since 1948. So we can say many of us will never have felt anything quite like this. So, if you suddenly morph into a good time, party animal or are walking around in a heady haze of romance, you now know why. If you are embarking on a love affair now, although this may be difficult, try to slow things down as Neptune heads direct in your 3rd after the full Moon and it might be a good idea to take your time and ensure that new lover is everything they are claiming to be. A lover from the past or one with past life connections could make a return for some as Mercury meets Juno in your 12th. Are you willing to try again with someone? That Moon just may offer new beginnings and second chances.

Aquarius

This week’s full Supermoon appears in her ruling house in your chart. Not only that, this Supermoon will be the biggest, brightest and most powerful since 1948. So, we can say that many of us will not have experienced anything quite like this Moon before. So, what can you expect from it? A home or family matter may reach a climax or peak. Some of you may be faced with a move or be about to commit to one. Bear in mind that the 4th house is one of the karmic houses in our charts so whatever occurs now likely has a connection to or touch of fate or destiny about it. This day also sees Mercury and Juno meet in your 11th. Juno of course is the ruler of marriage and traditional types of partnership yet she is in the house of all things untraditional – your 11th. This is of course the house of Aquarius. Partnerships may therefore not follow at traditional format or you could meet someone unexpectedly if you are single (there’s fate operating again!) and who is themselves unusual in some way. Neptune heads direct this week in your 2nd and it is important to remain practical when it comes to your money. Hopefully during his retrograde phase you looked at where your money goes, what on and initiated a spending plan for your future. Stay on top of money matters and look after your finances. They in turn will then look after you.

Pisces

Ruler Neptune moves to direct motion this week in your 1st showering you with a mystical glamour, aura of mystery and otherworldliness. Others could fall under your spell as a result and one of these people could be seriously successful or well-to-do as Mercury and Juno who rules marriage and traditional unions, meet in your 10th. If you do enchant someone this week, as this is the house of establishment and doing things the old-fashioned and time and tested way, it is likely that whomever appears is seeking that traditional union too. Of course, the biggest event in the sky this week is the full Supermoon of the 14th. This Moon will be the biggest, brightest, boldest and most powerful we have seen since 1948. Hopefully we will have clear skies as it will be the closest one to Earth that most of us will experience. Unexpected trips, revisions to projects or news may make you feel you are being pulled every which way. A sibling or even something in your neighbourhood may demand your attention. If everything and everybody seems to be coming at you all at once, then prioritise. You can’t be everything to all people this week, but you can be everything to one person.

YOUR ASTROLOGICAL FORECAST FOR THE WEEK BEGINNING 20th NOVEMBER:

ARIES:
* Take the next step on a larger journey
* Make your word count
* Dynamic shifts in love and career are possible
Big shifts are occurring this week and journeys can be undertaken now as the Sun enters your 9th of expansion, travel and adventure. News or a journey could provide the entrée into a larger world or experience for you as Mercury meets Saturn in your 9th and also both make a fabulous angle to the ruler of your 9th – Jupiter in your 7th house. The message here is you may not be undertaking this journey alone whether it is an actual one or a metaphorical one. You need to pay close attention to your professional reputation this week and how you wish to be seen by others. The company you keep is important in more ways than one and you need to ensure you are seen in a positive light. What do those you associate with, especially partners or prospective ones, say about you? Be seen now as someone who knows their business, whose word can be relied upon both in their personal and professional lives as Jupiter squares Pluto in your 10th and Venus collides with Pluto and both square that Jupiter. Your personal life may be about to undergo a dynamic shift as may your professional one. Do you know what you want and where you want to get to? You may be asked to go all-in this week or commit to something one way or another. That can also include letting go as well as forging stronger bonds. Just know for certain which one you want it to be.

TAURUS:
* Change broadens your horizons
* Doors open into a new experience
* What do you believe you can achieve?
With your ruler Venus conjunct Pluto in your 9th, expansion brings with it change. What’s more you have the Sun in Pluto’s ruling house as of this week – your 8th and Mercury and Saturn meeting in here too. This could turn out to be a powerful week for you where you flex those soul muscles and discover just what is possible for you to achieve. One cycle of life may come to a close and a new one beckons you forward now. Pay very close attention as this could revolve around your work situation, a new era of wellbeing or even you negotiating a pay rise, salary package or pay out of some kind as Jupiter in your 6th house is impacted by both Mercury and Saturn in your 8th and Venus and Pluto in your 9th. Look at where doors are opening for you now giving you a glimpse of what the future may just have in store for you. If doors are remaining closed then this could be your cue to start knocking on new ones. Something is being opened up for you now because as one door closes, then are always new avenues waiting to be explored. Get ready to start a journey of significance this week.

GEMINI:
* You know when it’s the real thing
* Fate is at work
* Romance sets off to a sizzling start
It’s all about you and others this week thanks to the Sun and ruler Mercury in your 7th of partnership matters. Is it to be? Is it the real thing? You should know for sure now as Mercury bumps into Saturn in here this week. That destiny making meeting could be very much on the cards for singles now as Mercury and Saturn make a kismet angle to Jupiter in your romance zone. Not only that, the Queen of Romance and Love herself – Venus is moving through your 8th of passion, emotional depth, sex and transformation. She meets Pluto in this his ruling house on the 25th and both of them are angling at Jupiter. This could add up to a sizzling date night for some of you. If it’s meant to be it really is part of your destiny now. But if it’s meant to go no further, there will not be a great deal you can do about it. Whatever transpires in your personal life or any other area for that matter this week, fate, karma, kismet, destiny – whatever you want to call it, plays a major role. Stay connected to this universal truth when it comes to any beginnings or even endings that take place now. And remember, what is meant for you will never pass you by and that especially includes love.

CANCER:
* Create structure in your life
* Wellbeing is your priority
* Home and living arrangements may change
Work it this week, Cancer. The Sun is in your 6th of your working life and your wellbeing from late on the 21st. Mercury also occupies this, his ruling house in your chart and meets up with Saturn, grand master of karma and structure. As this is your house of wellness, pay particular attention to your bones and teeth and make sure your diet includes adequate amounts of calcium. Cruciferous vegetables and roughage are also a good idea to boost your intake of and it’s time to make long term adjustments to your diet and wellness regimen if you need to as Mercury and Saturn make a positive angle to Jupiter. This may also bring work ambitions within reach with some of you landing that new job or getting positive news about a promotion or work related project. Venus also occupies her ruling house in your chart and she meets Pluto in here this week too and both planets square against Jupiter. Long term living arrangements may change or a relationship changes form. You may ask yourself some serious questions about what you want from your relationship or love in general for the future. Make every step count as one that takes you forward towards that vision this week.

LEO:
* Those good times may just keep on rolling
* Work changes bring positive benefits
* Let love rule!
Your ruler the Sun enters his ruling house in your chart – the 5th and shines on romance, creativity, children and all things fun and pleasure related. Love and your passions rule this week. Of course, there are many out there who would say that your capacity to appreciate these things may be diminished due to Saturn’s presence in here too. However – this may not be the case at all. Instead of an ephemeral dose of good times, they may just keep on rolling as Saturn likes to lock things down for the long haul if you are prepared to get serious and commit. So, as Mercury reaches him and both of them sextile Jupiter in Mercury’s ruling house on the 23rd, what transpires could be lasting – lasting romance, news that points to lasting success, creativity that sustains you, the ability to channel your passion into a profession, a lucky break – good things which just keep on giving in other words. Venus is in your 6th house right now where we can say she is not altogether comfortable with the energy. She meets Pluto in here and both of them will square that Jupiter. However, this may result in news that transforms your working life in a positive way especially if you have felt you have been in a rut. Good news could just go hand-in-hand with good times this week.

VIRGO:
* It’s decision time!
* What do you need to sustain you?
* What defines your worth?
With ruler Mercury and now the Sun in your 4th expect the focus to be on home and family matters now. Added to this is of course Saturn in here and it is going to be all about establishing something to sustain you for the long term. Property decisions can be made now as can career choices and important papers and contracts could be signed, sealed and delivered as Mercury meets Saturn and both make a positive angle to Jupiter in your money zone. You could be set for an asset increasing week as a result. However, Jupiter is caught in a tight square with Pluto in your 5th and Venus joins Pluto this week. We can say with both benefics involved some of the tension that is usually associated with this kind of square may be mitigated. However, this is not a ‘get out of jail free’ card. If you peg your value, self-worth or self-esteem on anything external be it possessions, money, a job or a relationship, the universe (as in Pluto) may stir up your fears around this. Or rather your idea that you may be worth a lot less if you don’t have that external, emotional or material validation. Only you can decide if you are less-of or still the same no matter what else fluctuates around you. Stay connected to what is really of value which is always found within.

LIBRA:
* Restore balance
* Has something been lived out for you?
* Don’t resist change
News, communication, ideas, the written word, publishing, how you get around, your neighbours, your siblings and your business are all in focus this week as the Sun joins Mercury in his ruling house – your 3rd. What you say, hear or put out there will be increasingly important. Contracts could be signed this week as Mercury and Saturn meet in your 3rd and make a highly positive angle to Jupiter currently in your 1st of course. Long term changes may be in the air when it comes to where you live or your career path. If things have been out of balance recently, then you may find you are able to restore this in some way by making much needed lifestyle or career changes. Something may be coming to an end with a positive new beginning to follow as ruler Venus in your 4th meets Pluto in here also this week and both of them will square Jupiter. Quite frankly if something ends now it is just to restore equilibrium in your life. Or else it has been lived out for quite some time. A new way of life may lie ahead – not just a new way of living or working. You may have resisted this change for some time but change could just be an idea whose time has come for you this week.

SCORPIO:
* Predictions prove to be spot-on
* Your money is in focus
* Pay it forward this week
You could be right on the money in more ways than one this week, Scorpio. I am not just talking about the Sun’s entry into your 2nd as your birthday season ends. Financial rewards you have been working towards for some time may now come to fruition as Mercury and Saturn meet in your 2nd and make a positive angle to Jupiter in your 12th. If you have been committed to soul learning as part of earning your daily bread as well as working with soul purpose, remember, Saturn can reward like no other planet. Good news around finances may be one possible outcome as could be validation of your talents and skills. However, being ‘right on the money’ could also see you intuition being proved right – or you being extremely glad you followed its advice. News which backs up your insight could quickly follow as Jupiter and your ruler Pluto in your 3rd make a tight angle to one another on the 24th. And with Venus joining in on the 25th you may have all the satisfaction of not just being proved right, but knowing that your heart called it correctly some time ago. Others may turn to you for help and advice this week and this could form part of ‘paying it forward’ in some way. Remember, our time and understanding is sometimes even more effective – and valuable to others, than money is. Give generously if called upon this week.

SAGITTARIUS:
* News you have been waiting for could finally arrive
* Have the courage to have what you want
* Happy birthday, Sagittarius!
Happy birthday all you Archers out there. With ruler Jupiter in your house of goals, wishes and dreams this is your time to aim high. Make that birthday wish and set your sights on it. Do not deviate from your course and watch as dreams manifest and goals are made real. Something tangible could be about to manifest as a birthday gift for you as early as this week – well, we all know how you hate long waits, Sag but LOVE surprises! Mercury just wants to bring some news you may have been waiting a long time to receive as he bumps into Saturn in your 1st and both make an angle of pure manifestation magic to Jupiter. Venus is in her ruling house of your chart now and she up for a trip to the dark side this week as she encounters Pluto in here. This meet-up could transform your financial landscape and both of them square Jupiter. However, it’s not just about transformation of your money. Transform your attitude to abundance or getting what you want. Do you sabotage whenever what you want is within your grasp because you get that heebie-jeebie unsettled feeling? You get that feeling when you are outside of what you have experienced in the past. That’s a fear you need to feel – and have what you want in spite of it. Soon having dreams come true feels like second nature and that feeling goes away for good. Push it aside if it does come up and go directly to your dream this birthday cycle.

CAPRICORN:
* Explore your soul path
* The past returns
* How have your choices shaped where you are today?
As your birthday approaches it usually gets all a little cosmic and a little mysterious, Capricorn. Ruler Saturn is in your 12th linking you to your soul path and destiny. The past features – its impact on your present in particular. Expect revelations as the Sun enters here from late on the 21st. The connection between the choices you have made in the past and where you are today will be laid bare for you as Mercury also in your 12th meets your ruler Saturn. This will have particular impact on your career as you will either be looking at goals being met as the two sextile Jupiter – or else dashed as Jupiter squares Pluto in your 1st. Venus also in your 1st is destined to meet up with Pluto this week and both of course will square with Jupiter as they do so. A personal relationship may undergo a transformation as could your relationship status. Others could embrace that career success I was talking about. The past may make itself felt in more ways than one. One of them being a visit from someone from your past especially if there is unfinished business between the two of you. The farther back you look, the farther forward you can see. Churchill said that. It’s cause and effect. Don’t like what you see? Change the view in front of you by choosing something different this time round.

AQUARIUS:
* New and influential friendships can be made
* Travel to the deep side of life
* Embrace radically different possibilities
Friendships with people in positions of influence or who can offer you assistance in some way is possible now. It’s not just the Sun’s entry into your 11th enlivening up your social life. But Mercury meets Saturn in here and both will make a social connection to Jupiter currently in his ruling house in your chart. The people you meet now are destined to expand your life and your world on some level. There could be soul contracts operating that you may be unaware of and run deeper than you can imagine now. Especially if someone turns up who just appears to want to assist you with no agenda in mind. Venus meets Pluto in your mysterious 12th this week and while they make a challenging angle to that Jupiter, its time to embrace any connection or experience that takes you to the deep side of life or where you feel an inexplicable and spiritual tie exists. Travel is possible now – in thought or actual and if you are travelling you may encounter people who challenge your worldview but at the same time expand it. Think of this as your mind and your soul opening up to new possibilities and embrace them when they appear – and in whatever form they take.

PISCES:
* Act like success is a foregone conclusion
* Know your stuff
* Cross that final hurdle to success
Saturn is in his ruling house in your chart so therefore a happy upwardly-mobile, corporate ladder ascending camper. He is lending you a certain gravitas when it comes to your career and ambition. Throw into the mix the Sun’s entry into here this week and an newsworthy encounter between Mercury and Saturn. What you say, how you get your ideas across, business ventures, projects, interviews and pitches could bear fruit. Ensure that you come across as someone who knows what they are talking about. Mercury and Saturn will sextile Jupiter in your 8th of corporate money, personal power, shared resources and yes, sadly fears. Self-doubt needs to be set aside and you need to plug into that unshakable core power which resides within. Do this and you could just get bigger results than you ever dreamed you were capable of. Venus and Pluto are meeting in your sector of goals this week and they will both square that Jupiter in what is Pluto’s ruling house. One result of this could be a shift around a friendship or connection. A more likely one however is that you have to reach deep for inner resolve to surmount one final obstacle between you and a goal. This can be the final interview, final stage of a proposal or pitch, final opportunity to get your point across or stick out for whatever it is you want. You are more capable than what you know. Stay the course and believe in your own ability to bring about the result you desire.

Damn, edds! Are you doing these all on your own?

NEW MOON ON 29tn NOVEMBER IN SAGITTARIUS

Out of the ashes and into the light, this New Moon is going to be helping us to think bigger and open our hearts to a new wave of positive and abundant energy.

The New Moon represents the starting of a new cycle. The last New Moon fell in the watery, intuitive sign of Scorpio. In this cycle we were all encouraged by the Universe to dig deep and uncover hidden emotions in order to release them.

November brings a new cycle however, which will kick into gear on the Sagittarius New Moon, which falls on the 29th. If Scorpio energy was beckoning us to go into the darkness within, Sagittarius energy is going to be beckoning us to stretch out into the light.

We have spent enough time in the darkness and in the shadows and now it is time to re-emerge into the light and start expanding our views and opening our hearts.

November’s New Moon is going to be sending waves of energy that will allows us to see things from a higher perspective and will open our awareness to new realms and new waves of thinking.

Sagittarius energy is electric, positive and most importantly, open minded and all of this energy is going to be on offer to us if we tune into it.
The Sagittarius New Moon is also going to trigger a cycle of awakening. In many ways, we are going to feel reborn and replenished after a long and hard year of cleaning out the metaphorical closets.

This New Moon is going to support you to think bigger, to be optimistic and to focus your attention on the best possible outcome. Aim high and go big on this New Moon, because that Sagittarius arrow is going to be helping you to hit your mark.

The November New Moon is also supercharged for romance and love. If you are single, this New Moon could bring about the perfect opportunity to meet someone special.

If you are in a relationship, bonds may be strengthened or weaknesses may emerge so you can heal and strengthen them for the future.

Soulmate energy is also high around this New Moon, so it is likely that we are going to have a lot more people making Soulmate connections during this time.

On a global level, this is going to help raise the vibration surrounding love, partnership and communication.

Soulmates don’t have to just be romantic; Soulmates can be anyone that comes into your life to awaken and stir your soul.

Under the cycle of this New Moon, pay attention to people you meet or to any synchronistic messages that may be delivered, as you may just be receiving a message that your soul needs to hear.

This New Moon is also going to be amplifying intuitive and Divine energy as well. The right opportunities may line up for you, or you may receive a powerful message from the Universe or your Spirit team.

In fact, spirit energy is going to be high under this New Moon and much more accessible for those who are interested in tuning in.

On a final note, the November New Moon has a very positive and upbeat energy to it. If you have been feeling low, this New Moon may just give you the boost you have been looking for.

Embrace this energy, stay open minded, open your heart and watch what flies in. All that you have been working so hard for this year is now coming to fruition under this Moon cycle, so celebrate and enjoy it. You have earned it!

FORECAST FOR EVERY SIGN WEEK BEGINNING 28th NOVEMBER

ARIES
Freedom vs. what you want to do or achieve in the world. How will you resolve this dilemma this week, Aries as a new Moon in your 9th seems set to invite you to break free of bonds and set a new course for uncharted territory – or love? Venus in your 10th is all about serious professional image and being seen as someone to be taken seriously. What you have set in motion and what results you expect to reap from your actions feature. The outcome will be based on your ability to keep your focus firmly on your destination, your feet grounded in reality and your eye on the prize as that Venus squares the triple conjunction in your 1st while the Sun and Juno in your 9th square Neptune in your 12th. Don’t settle for instant gratification when hanging in there will get you something so much better and what you really want. Ensure when it comes to your work that you come across as someone who knows what they are talking about when Mercury arrives in your 10th – the same day as ruler Mars makes a wonderful angle to Jupiter in your 7th. Hanging around waiting for anything to come and find you is not going to be your style. Going out and finding love, opportunity or just making things happen is. Yes, you can have the freedom to love and live the way you want – and still achieve those professional goals this week so don’t sacrifice one for the other.

TAURUS
With your 8th and 12th houses in focus this week it’s safe to say that change and transformations are going to feature for you. However, with your ruler Venus in your 9th what you need to bear in mind is that any changes that occur now are designed to set you free on some level no matter what form they may take. A new Moon in your 8th could see a door opening even if it may initially appear to be closing due to Venus making a challenging angle to the Uranus/Ceres/Eris conjunction in your 12th which may see something come full circle as the past may re-emerge. Perhaps when and where you least expect it thanks to Neptune in your 11th squaring off the Sun and Juno in your 8th. If there is unfinished business between you and an ex you could just bump into one another. Just ensure however that if you are thinking about second chances, that you see things as they really were between you and not distorted through the rose tinted glasses of the past. Keep it real unless you want the past to repeat itself. Travel and expansion feature as Mercury arrives in your 9th pointing to those new beginnings and that freedom I mentioned. You’re emerging into fresh possibilities now and can begin to see where those changes are taking you. Chances are that is away from whatever was holding you back, Taurus.

GEMINI
Togetherness in some form or another is on your mind this week as a new Moon in your house of partnerships promises a fresh phase of being one half of two. Remember, this does not necessarily mean a romantic partnership although we can say with Juno the ruler of marriage and traditional unions in here and meeting the Sun and the Moon this week, it may well. However, if you are seeking another kind of partner – from an activity to a business one, the universe may just deliver. Venus who rules your 7th is now in your 8th and squares Uranus and Eris in Uranus’s ruling house while the Sun and Juno square Neptune. This could mean disappointment for some of you as someone you had high hopes for shows you that they are unable to live up to your expectations. Ruler Mercury is also heading off into your 8th this week which along with Venus in here can point to a change in a relationship. However, others could find themselves involved in financial negotiations which change their circumstances for the better. In case you are now thinking that all this adds up to a non-starter of a week in the romance department, I would say au contraire. Mars in your 9th of high adrenalin adventure gets entangled with Jupiter in your 5th in all the right ways on the 2nd. This could promise some instant, searing attraction that burns bigger and brighter than anything so far with the promise it may just keep the heat turned up well into the New Year.

CANCER
The new Moon in your 6th could just usher in a new work opportunity or just you determined to kick a habit once and for all. If you start something now that involves a health or lifestyle change, chances are you’ll stick to it even with the festive season and all its temptations now looming large on the horizon. Try not to fall back into old habits because old habits are holding you back. Yes, you may be tempted as the planets currently in your 6th which include the Sun and Juno which square Neptune in your 9th this week, but due to Saturn in here and also some moves from Venus in your 7th squaring the three planet conjunction in your 10th, you are more aware of your public image and how others see you than usual. Seeing as you want to make a good impression, you end up staying the course. And feeling it’s worth it. Serious moves can now be made on the career front and this week could see you entering into contract or pay negotiations as Mars in his ruling house in your chart trines Jupiter in your 4th. After making an impression professionally, what about on the personal front? Mercury in your 7th this week adds to the season to be jolly but adding the flirt factor. News from a lover, an offer of a date or more than one opportunity to flirt could present itself while those of you coupled up could find the conversation moves from the mundane to the romantic. Sharing views and ideas as well as a little verbal foreplay could be your reward for cultivating a new outlook to how others look at you.

LEO
One of your favourite new Moons of the year appears this week as it takes place in your 5th of all things Leo-ruled. With an extra dash of luck and expansion potential thrown in. More chances to shine, bigger fun, added attraction and romance with that sweep-you-off-your-feet potential. Your ruler the Sun meets the Moon and Juno in here on the 29th. So, when it comes to romance Juno could just elevate that flirtation into something more serious. You know what you want and you will make no bones about it with Mars in your 7th making a fabulous angle to Jupiter in your 3rd. Just be aware however that Mars in this house can inflame desire but also ignite conflicts if things have not been going well between you and your significant other lately. Also, while opportunities for romance abound do not enter into anything clandestine as your ruler the Sun and also Juno square Neptune in your 8th as you are likely to be found out! Your 6th house is not a good placement for Venus who will look around for distractions or to take the easy way out while in here. She will be squaring off Uranus, Ceres and Eris all in your 9th all of which may make you yearn to be anywhere else but where you are and doing whatever it is you are doing. Ensure that the good times your 5th house promises do not cause you to take your eye off the ball as one benefit coming your way could be recognition or a lucky break on the work front especially now Mercury arrives in here. This week could offer success in more than one area. Be in the moment whether you are at work or at play and keep everything above board.

VIRGO
Feeling grounded, improving your home or living arrangements or looking at where you belong is in focus this week as a future-cementing new Moon appears in her ruling house in your chart (4th). The Sun and Juno are also in here and all meet on the 29th squaring away with Neptune in your 7th. Use your intuition now and pay close attention to what it is telling you especially around relationships. Is all it appears to be? Or is something just in your imagination? Changes around your income, a relationship or something you share with someone – anything from a house to a horse, could occur but these may be changes you welcome as opposed to the other kind as Venus in your house of romance squares Uranus, Eris and Ceres in your 8th and Mars in your work zone trines Jupiter in your 2nd. This week could see you cashed-up and with a smile on your face. Watch what transpires when Mercury joins Venus in your 5th from the 2nd. Romance or the satisfaction of success in a key area could just be the news that changes everything. What makes you feel good and ignites your passion is your best indicator of whether you are on the right path, so opt for heart centered feedback this week.

LIBRA
Expect the unexpected this week and remain flexible. Be ready to change direction or plans at the drop of a hat and then you should enter December with a clear picture of where key areas of your life are heading now. Don’t plan too far ahead as this week’s new Moon in your 3rd could send a deluge of appointments, messages and even extra work your way and you may just have to deal with this as it comes in. Above all, remain calm and if all else fails, deal with things in order of priority or deadline. You may feel overwhelmed at times but if this happens stop looking at everything you still have to do and just concentrate on the one thing you are doing right now. Finish that and move on to the next. That way you will get through it and keep your sanity! The Sun, Moon and Juno are all conjunct in your 3rd and the Sun and Juno will square Neptune in your 6th which will account for any feelings that things are out of control. They aren’t and you are. Ruler Venus meanwhile is in your 4th but squaring Uranus, Eris and Ceres all conjunct in your 7th. Again, this can add up to partners also demanding more of your time, surprise developments in your partner’s life which affect you or a relationship going from cold to smokin’ hot – or vice versa. It’s either all worth it or on top of everything else all too much. Mars in your 5th of attraction makes the most wonderful angle to Jupiter in your 1st on December 2 which really has to be your highlight of the week. Put it this way, Mars in here is set on fun, pleasure and romance that delivers. He is not up for time wasting and seeing as you have no time to spare, you will either get what you want from any situation – or move on to the next. Mercury also enters your 4th from the 2nd favouring home, real estate and business dealings. Important papers relating to where you live or your long term plans could be signed. You could get the key to a new door but whether you give someone the key to your heart – well, they are going to have to prove to you they deserve it. Stay flexible and this week could just deliver a surprise or two you will love.

SCORPIO
What’s your worth? I’m not just talking about what’s in your bank account Scorpio but how you value yourself and what your beliefs are around what you deserve. Expect to be giving this a great deal of thought as the new Moon appears in your money sector and Venus the ruler of this house in your 3rd makes some interesting angles to Uranus, Ceres and Eris in your house of work. Remember, Eris did not feel she belonged and as a result acted out and caused a little fracas known as the Trojan War. The fact is, when Eris tossed in that golden apple marked ‘For the fairest’ into a gaggle of goddesses, the fact that Aphrodite (Venus), Hera (Juno) and Athena (Pallas) all had go ask Paris to choose which one of them was, only went to prove it was these three who needed external validation as to their worth – and not Eris at all. Are you constantly needing validation from an outside source be it a person or in the things you have? Or are you secure in what you know to be true about your worth and are in fact sitting back and having a good laugh at others seeking to define theirs by external means? Juno is also in your 2nd this week and as she and the Sun in here meet this new Moon and also square Neptune in your 5th which rules following your passion and all things feel-good and validation related – including romance. By now you should be seeing – and feeling, the connection. Unexpected revelations thanks to Mars in your 4th making a positive angle to Jupiter in your 12th adds up to you really understanding where, how and above all, why those values may now need an upgrade. News which sets you on a path to establishing a new benchmark for these could arrive sooner than you think as Mercury enters your 3rd and his ruling house from the 2nd. Know your worth which is a very different prospect to advertising slogans which tell you you’re worth it.

SAGITTARIUS
I know you love surprises, Sag so when I say they could be on their way this week your response is most likely ‘Bring them on!’ Of course, the fact they are surprises means that they may not take quite the form you might expect. Because if they did, where’s the surprise in that? Your personal new Moon appears in your 1st this week ushering in the official start of your yearly cycle no matter what date your birthday falls. Now when it comes to those surprises, they could be part of this new cycle even though they may not look like they are to begin with. Venus in her ruling house in your chart will square the Uranus/Ceres/Eris conjunction in your 5th. Excitement? Check. Thrills? Check. Heart beating faster? Check, check, check. What you expected? No way. But surprised? You bet. The Sun and Juno also in your 1st will square with Neptune in your 4th. Have you surprised yourself recently with a growing desire to have someone to come home to – when you stop doing your own thing that is? Hmmm. You know it is possible to find someone who respects that Sag need for freedom and who won’t try to fence you in, you know. I know single Sagittarians may doubt they exist sometimes. With ruler Jupiter in your 11th making a wonderful angle to Mars in your 3rd it could be time to take the initiative and put yourself out there so you pop up on their radar. Mercury leaves your sign and enters your 2nd on the 2nd perhaps bringing news of extra cash to fund the festive season – and send you off in search of those thrills.

CAPRICORN
With a new Moon in your 12th as well as the Sun, Juno, ruler Saturn and Mercury until the 2nd, this is a time of deep contemplation and evaluation.. To say you have a high speed connection to universal truth may be an understatement especially as the Sun and Juno will square Neptune in your 3rd and this is after all, Neptune’s ruling house in your chart, Pay close attention to your intuition and please don’t ignore what it is telling you. If you do, you may regret this further down the track as your insights will prove to be spot-on especially when it comes to weighing up people and situations now. Venus is in your 1st giving you the power of attraction but you need to combine this with discernment and understand you don’t have to accept something just because it is on offer – especially if it doesn’t feel right. Or worse, you accept it but only because deep down you believe that’s all you’re going to get. Venus will square Uranus, Eris and Ceres in your 4th and it is important to know that you will live with your choices – even ones you make in the spur of the moment, for some time to come. So, don’t be afraid to throw something back – or I could say someone, if you feel it or they are not quite right for you. Time to act in a decisive fashion and to know exactly what it is you DO want as Mars in your money zone trines Jupiter in your house of long term career. Funny thing about people who stick out for what they want– they almost always get it. Be one of those people this week.

AQUARIUS
Like your opposite number Leo, you resonate with December’s new Moon on a highly personal level as it appears in your 11th house of all things Aquarian ruled (so, it is in Leo’s 5th of all things Leo-ruled). Aside from when the new Moon is in your sign during your birthday month, this Moon is laden with potential for you to showcase your individuality, connect with people who are very much on your wavelength and perhaps just set you on a direct course towards goal attainment. When it comes to your earning ability or just marshalling the resources you need to do this, you may be in a better position than you think. The Sun and Juno who is also in your 11th will square Neptune in your 2nd and you need to look closer as you may have more at your disposal – if not actual cash then talent or skills, than you are presently aware of. With Juno in your 11th and Venus in your 12th, then encounters with past partners or should I say present potential partners with past-life connections, may be a distinct possibility. Ruler Uranus is presently entangled with Eris and Ceres in your 3rd promising surprise news and developments. Be ready to accept an out-of-the- ultramarine opportunity if it appears. It’s a time of expansion and to act with confidence and a degree of boldness as goals can be reached and mountains conquered thanks to Mars in your 1st making a wonderful trine of expansion to Jupiter in your 9th. Mercury in your 12th from the 2nd is your direct line to what? Heightened intuition, precognitive dreams and signs. You know who is going to be on the other end of that phone before it rings – just like you’ll know if someone is telling you one thing but their intentions are something else entirely. No-one should be able to pull the wool over your eyes this week.

PISCES
How powerful do you think you are, Pisces? Funny as many people do not associate your sign with power. But you have your own kind of power. It’s often hidden so others don’t see you coming. Or it may be hidden from you. You may be unaware of the power that you possess as intuition, the desire to explore, compassion and above all, the desire for things to be fair, is a formidable power. You can bring this to bear in the arena of personal success this week but staying the course and being determined to succeed is part of this. But the thing with you is that you are not about to bulldozer others or sell your soul to do so. As the new Moon strikes in your 10th and the Sun and then Juno in here square ruler Neptune in your 1st you are about to show everyone that you can achieve success but not at the expense of others or your soul. Mars in your 12th is about to uncover anything that stands in your way and Jupiter in your 8th hones your negotiating skills. Sure, you may not be ruthless but that does not mean you are a push-over and you are about to demonstrate you can be a force to be reckoned with when it comes to negotiating what you deserve. Venus in your 11th of friends, social connections and goals is about to be joined by Mercury. But for now Venus squares Uranus, Eris and Ceres in your 2nd. This adds up to Venus and Uranus being in mutual reception by house. Yes, these two are having a conversation about getting you the outcome you want. Mercury could be about to deliver good news especially around your bank account. That could be the result of just accessing that personal power source this week, Pisces.

YOUR WEEK AHEAD BEGINNING DECEMBER 5th

ARIES
Your Week Ahead: In the old cartoons, characters were forever chasing their foe across dangerous territory. Sooner or later, they'd reach the edge of a cliff, and both hero and villain would find themselves running in mid-air. Invariably, they'd maintain their momentum until one or both stopped to notice the predicament they were in. Then they'd immediately plunge to the ground! The moral of the story is that you need to keep on running this week. It's only if you stop and start worrying that you'll find something to worry about.
We think we know what we want. We get to a certain age, when we're done with experimenting, and think that we understand what works for us, and what doesn't. But that doesn't mean losing our capacity to be delightfully surprised. This week, something unexpected can lift your spirits. Rather than an actual event, it's more likely to come from an unusual emotional reaction. You'll be reminded of a valuable part of yourself, which you had almost forgotten. it confirms that there's still much to explore, within you, and out in the world too.

TAURUS
Your Week Ahead: Some people would rather be thought of as uncaring than be considered a fool. No one wants to be known as an easy target or a 'soft touch'. Yet, when a ship is in distress they put out a call. Of course there's a chance that pirates may home in on their signal. But, when you're on the high seas and you want to be rescued it's a risk you have to take. When you reveal your heart, you take a risk too. This week, though, you shouldn't fear showing your vulnerable side. If you send out the right signals, there's support to be found.
As Venus changes signs, you'll have a powerful effect on those around you. Unwittingly, you'll awaken an energetic response in them. Some folk will be instantly inspired to assist and support you. Others may be resistant. This isn't your fault. You can't do much to stop it, but you can recognise the syndrome and work with it. Where you can foster understanding, you can broker an agreement that will last. Give your attention to someone who will appreciate it now, and they'll help you to achieve one of your dearest emotional aspirations.

GEMINI
Your Week Ahead: Imagine feeling cross with yourself for being too tall or too short. It's not a healthy attitude. If you feel that you're not clever enough, you can always do some mental exercises. If you suspect that you need to be more emotionally receptive, you can work on your feelings. Similarly, there are many aspects of your physical form over which you can exert some influence if you try. As the Sun links to Jupiter this week, rather than look at what may be wrong with you, consider what you have to be proud of. There's plenty.
Sometimes life offers you a buffet. How exciting! Ahead of you is a smorgasbord of experience. All sorts of delicacies to try, sensations to test, tastes to tempt you. While you're busy loading up your plate, it's easy to forget the person saving the table, who is waiting for you to return with much-needed sustenance. This week, you may feel the urge to explore all that's on offer. There's nothing wrong with doing so, as long as you remember your responsibilities to those who've entrusted you with their plates. Together you can feast on a generous helping!

CANCER
Your Week Ahead: We're told that if we just 'put our heads down' and work hard, life will turn out fine. That if we apply ourselves, soon enough we'll achieve our dreams. Of course, it's not quite that simple. Sometimes it feels that, no matter how much effort you put in, life continues in the same old way, and that progress is slow and unremarkable. Look carefully, this week, and you can grease the wheels of change. You can uncover a secret that waters the seeds of success. Find it, and see blooms appearing in the most unexpected places.
What would life be like if we had no idealistic, romantic fantasies? Either it would be a whole lot worse or a whole lot better! Some say that our escapist visions are all that keep us going. When life's too tough, we retreat into our dream of the future and persuade ourselves that one day it'll come true. But if we didn't entertain such hopes in the first place, our existing situation might seem less unsatisfactory by comparison. As Mercury makes angles to Mars and Neptune this week, be realistic about your emotional situation. The actual reality is not so bad.

LEO
Your Week Ahead: They tell us that love makes the world go around. It is, they say, the driving force behind all of nature. It's easy to see that in a blossoming flower or a babbling brook, but how about a hurricane? Is an eruption of wild weather also a manifestation of the ultimately benign nature of the universe? You find yourself, this week, dealing with factors that seem to make little sense. Some may seem deeply unfair. But, as Venus moves into your opposite sign, you still have the option to be motivated by love and kindness.
Have you noticed an increase of drama in your world? Could you describe parts of your emotional life as a fast-paced thriller? An action movie, full of exciting, perhaps even dangerous scenes? It's time to introduce a new character. This person is a negotiator - someone who brings a sense of calm, unity and peace into a fraught situation. And, if your celestial directors have their way with the storyline, there's a romantic twist to the plot too. If you find the action slowing this week, it's just setting the scene for an emotional encounter.

VIRGO
Your Week Ahead: Sometimes, we need to share more than we'd like to in order to get something. When we want someone to open up to us, it often helps if we reveal an inner truth. It's a transaction, a give and take that forms the foundation on which relationships are built. This week, communicating with some of the people close to you could be a source of frustration. Instead of focusing on differences, it may be time to search for surprising similarities. Find the common ground and you can re-energise your relationships.
Things can start to be different. You don't have to carry on in the same old way. You can draw a line under the past and keep it well away - not just from the future but also from the present. You're being granted the power to change something in your emotional life. Before now, you could only dream about attaining this ability. As your ruler links to Neptune, don't persuade yourself that you're still only dreaming now. Mercury's alignment with Mars asks you to get out and get busy. Use your skill. Seize your chance. Touch a heart and heal a wound!

LIBRA
Your Week Ahead: We're all psychologically predisposed towards acts of appeasement and conciliation. We can't help but want things to be OK for one another, and to keep sources of potential conflict well at bay. To go against this almost primeval instinct, we must have a very good reason. Or a bad one, involving lots of anger and resentment. But even if you now fear that such energies are being directed towards you, you don't deserve them and you need not return them. As your ruler moves signs this week, act impeccably and all will be well.
A few years ago, a talented musician friend of mine was down on his luck. When he signed up for job-seeker's allowance, he was startled to find that 'musician' didn't exist as a recognised profession. He's doing better now, and, of course, the government sees his vocation as just as taxable as any other job! It's still surprising how artistic industries can be treated by those with more traditional careers. This week brings a time when your creativity can be appreciated! If you put your heart into it, you'll be surprised at how successful you can be.

SCORPIO
Your Week Ahead: We all know people who ask difficult questions. It's when someone keeps chipping away at the foundations of who we are, that we begin to feel insecure. When we start to doubt ourselves, it's tempting to retreat. Or stir up matters elsewhere as a distraction. Though you might find yourself under the spotlight this week, there's no reason to be fearful of any tricky questions. The cosmos is giving you the energy to take any challenge head on, and perform at your best. Come out of the shadows, and bathe in the celestial sunshine.
When we're living through times of turbulence, we dream of order - and pine for it. We want structure, strength and certainty. Such things are comforting. They make us feel safe. Yet, spontaneity is not something you can ever plan for, and it's often only in the midst of chaos and upheaval that magic really happens. As Mars forms part of a Minor Grand Trine, between Saturn and Uranus, be glad of what's causing a little mayhem in your emotional life. Even if it creates some discomfort, it may be the very shake-up needed to bring a welcome change.

SAGITTARIUS
Your Week Ahead: As the Sun, in your sign, moves towards a conjunction with Saturn, you're about to emerge from a cavalcade of chaos. You've been swamped by silly suggestions and strange situations. Don't feel, for a moment, that this is your fault. Abandon the idea that everything in your life is supposed to make sense - or that there is any merit in efficiency. Just join in with the great game that's being played. You can afford to be light-hearted this week, for - no matter what you're up against - things will work out well in the end.
Sometimes, free-spirited Sagittarians can find it difficult to balance relationships. How can you 'belong' to someone happily, when you occasionally feel desperate to break away from all you know? How can you remain constant when your need to explore and experience means that you possess an ever-evolving philosophy and perspective on life? Yet, even the freest bird must return to land. And the most intrepid adventurer needs a home, and people to regale with stories. This week, you may just find something you feel ready to commit to.

CAPRICORN
Your Week Ahead: Accruing personal possessions isn't always a selfish thing to do. We all need to benefit from life's pleasures. Only the most pious among us can cope with a life devoid of luxury. This week, take time to indulge yourself. There are ways to be decadent that won't break the bank. And there are ways to live like royalty that don't require the subjugation of others. The cosmos suggests that there's a balance to be struck between personal fulfilment and universal harmony. And the scales are tipping in your favour.
'Ah me! Love can not be cured by herbs.' Ovid was a poet, who lived in Rome 2,000 years ago. His words are as true today as they were then. Nor, of course, can love be 'caused' by herbs, despite all the mood-altering leisure drugs available these days. Real love is a feeling that comes straight from (and goes right to) the heart. As Venus leaves your sign this week, you may be keenly aware of a love in your heart that you half wish you could be cured of. Yet soon, you'll realise that it's naturally changing its form. And you'll come to be glad of what you feel.

AQUARIUS
Your Week Ahead: You've got what you need. Have you also got what you want? That depends whether you want what you need! One thing's sure: you need to want what you need! So, try wanting what you don't think you really want. If you really need this, initial resistance will turn to appreciation. You won't look at what you've got and find it wanting. You'll begin to understand why you need it, what's so good about it and why you're glad you made the effort. With Venus arriving in your sign, your heart will soon be given all it needs.
'Why do birds suddenly appear, every time, you are near?' sang The Carpenters. The writers of the song suggested that it was because they wanted to be close to the object of the singer's affections. Yet, if they'd seen what I've seen in your astrological outlook, they might have supposed the real reason was the magic of the cosmos at work. Get ready to experience a little more love, harmony and appreciation. And, quite frankly, not before time! The stars aren't falling from the sky, but they're falling over themselves to bring blessings into your life.

PISCES
Your Week Ahead: The best partnerships form a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. As much as I love John Lennon and Paul McCartney's solo efforts, few would disagree that their best work was created when they worked together. There's a partnership in your own life that, if you decide to explore, could lead you both to a greater success than your present circumstances suggest. Don't let yourself be tempted by the idea of taking sole credit, and the accompanying glory. You'll find that many hands make light work this week
What do we share with someone when we get close to them? Even when we say, 'What's mine is yours' (or vice versa) do we know what we mean by this? No matter how much I may care for you, I can't give you my memories or my deepest beliefs. There are aspects of me that can never become aspects of you. Anyway, enough about me and you. With the Sun linking to your traditional ruler this week, I want to talk about the depth in one of your closest emotional bonds. It's real, but it doesn't deserve unreasonable expectations to be placed upon it.

Weekly forecast for week beginning December 5th 2016

ARIES
Your Week Ahead: What happened to 2016? Where's the time gone? Don't panic! It hasn't disappeared yet! That's the funny thing about time. One minute, we're in the present, the next, the present is in the past. It is, though, never too late to do something you believe in, or to explore something that inspires you. And those of us whose hearts are in the right place possess the power to make time speed up or slow down. Your motives are admirable and your opportunities are great. Seize them now and you'll find there's life left in this year yet!
Our fears are not our friends, yet sometimes we greet them like familiar companions and treat them with almost affectionate respect. We make allowances for them. We change our lives around in accordance with their requirements. We let them advise us and inform our decisions. We assess our compatibility with others by the way in which their anxieties and inhibitions match our own. Are you letting the wrong force shape your life now? As Venus links to Uranus, here comes an exceptional, positive chance to alter some crucial priorities.

TAURUS
Your Week Ahead: To say that your feelings run deep is a bit like saying that Saturn is a long way from Tokyo. It sounds almost casual. It conveys little of the scale, intensity or sheer, shocking truth of the matter. Look at the amazing lengths you have gone to, over many years, to defend yourself from your own emotional vulnerability. Actually, don't. Best you look at something else. As the Sun and Saturn converge you may be tempted to build walls this week. But the coming Supermoon will remind you that your feelings are a blessing not a curse
Love isn't only about hot dates and wild rides. Nor does it dwell exclusively in cosy cottages and delightful domestic arrangements. Love can also be found in heated exchanges and agonising absences. Love isn't always fun or easy. But neither is love ever far from the heart of any of us. The love that's in your life now may not be ideal. But it still has plenty of power. Try to appreciate it for what it is, rather than resent it for what it has so far refused to become. If you shed some expectations, you'll see how strong your bonds truly are.

GEMINI
Your Week Ahead: Some hours slide by in a minute. Others go on too long. Time may or may not be fixed and constant, but our perception of it is highly variable. Much the same can be said for our perception of happiness. The potential to experience it never goes away. Sometimes, we feel that we're a mere breath away from joy and delight. Sometimes, we imagine that we're a million miles from this. It's not necessarily an aspect of the world that needs to alter this week. It's your attitude to (and relationship with) reality that can evolve.
Some people are attracted to each other for the wrong reasons. Those, for example, who take pleasure in perceiving themselves as victims, often feel drawn to individuals with a predatory personality. And the attraction, sadly, is mutual! This happens most often when there are deep unresolved issues within both parties. These give rise to the need to play a role or act out a drama, and create scenarios where history appears to repeat itself. Such a chain can be broken. With the arrival of the Supermoon, you've the power to break it now.

CANCER
Your Week Ahead: They say, 'You can't teach an old dog new tricks'. I wonder why they say that? Our four-legged friends may well become more resistant to influence as they age, but they can still respond to patient instruction. Anyway, we're not dogs; we're people. Whenever we actively want to learn, no matter how long we've lived, we can absorb fresh information, change habits and develop new talents. After years of performing a trick that gets erratic results, as the Sun conjuncts Saturn, you can discover a more reliable and effective technique.
There's nothing intrinsically wrong with compromise. Too often though, we use this word disparagingly, as a euphemism for 'sacrifice'. Now that's rarely worth making. Are you currently at risk of becoming a martyr to a cause? Are you letting go of something you ought to be holding on to? Of course, you want to be generous. You don't feel complete unless you are sharing something deep and real. But you may now be in danger of going too far. Remember that, to get what your heart truly needs, you're not obliged to give anything up.

LEO
Your Week Ahead: When my little boy starts to cry, I know he'll probably become less upset if given some chocolate. Yet it's not good for such small people to consume too much sugar. It's a philosophical dilemma. Which should I choose? The potential long-term physical impact or a disturbance that may lead to a trauma? I don't claim to have the answer. Nor can you make an entirely impeccable judgement this week. But your heart, which inevitably responds more to the immediate, has a valid point of view! Don't let structure impede your happiness.
Friends are supposed to make life easier for each other. Aren't they? Companions are supposed to be nice to each other. People we share our world with are supposed to be folk whose company we enjoy. Isn't that so? Well, that's supposed-to-be's for you! Supposed-to-be's, it turns out, are not always quite what they are supposed to be! Venus's link to the Sun suggests that you've had some difficulties with a certain someone recently. But despite this, the Supermoon promises that a fraught relationship can soon change for the better.

VIRGO
Your Week Ahead: What were you placed on this earth for? Is there something you're supposed to be doing? You know perfectly well that you have a crucial contribution to make to an important cause. It's just that, sometimes, you get so caught up in the humdrum drama of daily life that you forget. With the Sun conjunct Saturn, around the Supermoon, that bigger, more vital issue now needs more energy and time. Make it available and you'll be surprised by how much better you start to feel, and how quickly the change you need comes about.
Is there a rhyme or a reason behind all the chaos and craziness you've experienced in your personal life recently? Whenever we face something strange, we strive to make sense of it. Sometimes, though, we have to accept that there's no easy explanation. Even if there is a grand plan �" it's beyond our ability to understand it. Maybe, one day, you'll see exactly what caused an emotional drama to develop as it did. Maybe you'll never know. But if you can only stop worrying and thinking so much, you'll yet enjoy how things turn out.

LIBRA
Your Week Ahead: There are so many arguments we can engage in if we want to. We don't have to look far to find them. People, everywhere we go, will happily enter into debates on almost any topic, at almost any time. If we want to join in, all we have to do is develop a few passionate opinions. It really doesn't matter what they are, sooner or later, they'll conflict with somebody else's. There's much more of an art in avoiding a debate than in winning one. And harder still to build a consensus. That's a skill you've been blessed with. Put it to work this week.
Some people seem to take a perverse pleasure in being unkind or unfair. Perhaps they've been hurt in their childhood, and have wounds that will not heal. Or perhaps they so keenly anticipate trouble in the future that they want to 'get their retaliation in first'. Who knows what psychological explanations lie behind such behaviour? And who cares? As the Sun converges with Saturn this week, steer clear of such characters and pay no attention to their aspersions. Don't be drawn into a battle (or a behaviour pattern) you are wiser to rise above.

SCORPIO
Your Week Ahead: Nature abhors a vacuum. Wherever there's space, she attempts to fill it with something. So when we fill our lives with plans and activities, we make it harder for nature to work her magic. This is all fine as long as our lives happen to be full of all the things that we enjoy. But if we've got stress, strife and struggle, it may be wiser to drop commitments and create gaps. The Sun conjuncting Saturn asks what particular form of craziness is eating up so much of your time and energy? Perhaps it's now time to be brave and let some of it go?
In Malaysia, in the absence of Marmite, the food that elicits extreme reactions is the durian fruit. And something in your current emotional outlook is evocative of both of these universal opinion splitters. Some things are 'an acquired taste'. It's possible to have a strong, negative, reaction to someone or something but eventually learn to love it! If you feel the way you feel, other people's opinions and responses can't really alter this! And if none of us were willing to take a risk, what would we ever learn? Be open to surprising possibilities this week.

SAGITTARIUS
Your Week Ahead: You never thought things would turn out quite like this. You didn't sit down, years ago, and plan to get to exactly where you are now, feeling precisely as you feel. Things happened organically. You dealt with many circumstances that simply couldn't have been engineered. Life has a way of surprising us all. And sometimes such surprises can be unpleasant, and sometimes even delightful. As you sit and wonder where the next phase of your life is likely to lead you to, don't assume you can see all the possibilities. Great things await!
Criminals often return to the scene of their crime. They're drawn by a strangely compulsive urge to gloat, to relive the experience �" or to taunt the authorities that are still pursuing them. People with something to hide will often somehow hint at their hidden agenda. They cannot or won't reveal it, but they may well allude to it, perhaps in the form of a joke or a chance remark. As the Sun and Saturn converge for the second, and last time in your sign for 28 years, you have a mountain of evidence to sift through. But you're about to crack the case!

CAPRICORN
Your Week Ahead: They say, 'The road to hell is paved with good intentions.' Long-term readers will know that my uncle Jonathan took umbrage with this. It implies that the road to heaven is paved with bad intentions! Actually, both roads are paved the same way. The difference is all to do with how those paving stones are joined. On the road to heaven, they're connected with psychological cement, mixed from patience and persistence. And on the other road? If you lose your cool this weekend, you'll soon find out how that route is constructed.
Some people like to dowse. They get hold of a pendulum and discover that it vastly increases their intuition. They come to rely on it. Soon, instead of reading a map, they start holding their hand over a road diagram and then go wherever they feel the strongest tingle in their fingertips. Instinct is a good and powerful thing. There's a reason, though, why we're blessed with intelligence. You're quite sure now about what you feel. But you still need to know why you feel it. Give equal trust to your head and your heart this week.

AQUARIUS
Your Week Ahead: There's no such thing as a problem without a solution. The worst we can ever get, is a problem to which the wrong solution is being applied - or a problem to which the right solution has yet to be found. But the problem with having a problem is that it tends to be accompanied by a powerful urge to find a solution rapidly. Sometimes we get so eager to feel as if we've got things under control, that we embrace almost any old control mechanism, regardless of its merit. But, this week, you're closer than you think to the right answer.
This week, Saturn, your traditional ruler, conjuncts the Sun for the last time in its current sign of the zodiac. As it does so, it makes a link to Venus, on its way to making a creative angle with Uranus, your modern ruler. Saturn's influence can often be a mixed blessing. I'm not promising that from now on, it's all going to be a, breeze, a ball or a bed of roses. But you're due to start feeling better, easier, lighter, sweeter and less like you're running as fast as you can just to stay in the same place. Perhaps you can run towards someone instead!

PISCES
Your Week Ahead: As the week begins with Mercury linking to Neptune, the more you think, the more you see how much you have to think about. The more too, you wonder whether you're thinking what you ought to be thinking, or just thinking what you think you ought to think. Is this a subtle distinction or a crucial one? It depends on how confused you become. A little uncertainty is a good thing. The approaching Supermoon brings clarity. But a lot of doubt suggests that, actually, you're already clear. Don't be backward about coming forward now!
There are very few people in this world who truly care. Most care, only as much as they feel they have to. They may care because it's their job to care. They may care because they feel it's expected of them. They may care because they feel bad about not caring. How much they care, though - and for how long - is questionable. That's all understandable. To care is to be sensitive. To be sensitive is to be vulnerable. Yet it is also to be brave... and ultimately, to be deeply rewarded. As, soon, with the influence of the Supermoon, you'll see.

Your forecast for week beginning 19th December 2016

ARIES
Your Week Ahead: Even if you win the rat race, you'll still be a rat! That's a point often lost on those who strive for success in the realm of commerce or politics. Even those of us with less lofty goals forget about the reasons why we're doing what we're doing. We get so caught up in fighting our battles that we feel as if nothing else matters. When someone asks us, 'Why are you even doing this?' we don't feel grateful for their philosophical interjection, we just feel annoyed by the distraction. But, as your ruler changes signs this week, it's a question worth asking.
When our hearts are set on an objective, we'll ignore every counter-argument. And we'll eagerly seize on any justification, no matter how flimsy it may be. Even those of us who take pride in reading life's subtle signposts, find it easier to see symbols that suit our desires. How, then, can you possibly stand back and look at your current situation with an open mind? It's hard to be impartial when it comes to affairs of the heart. But, this week, it's possible to be passionate and take the blinkers off! You might rather like what you discover!

TAURUS
Your Week Ahead: Life isn't always fair, but nor is it always unfair. There are those who might argue that it's fair half the time and unfair the other half. I'm not really sure how any of us would test that assertion. It may be fair comment! Right now, at least, there's a strong celestial suggestion that life is about to start treating you fairly. In one sensitive area of your world, you'll soon feel sure that justice really is being done. As you feel a weight lift from your shoulders, this becomes your opportunity to help bring about a more just and fair situation for someone else.
Some people believe that the FBI was behind Kennedy's assassination; that MI5 had a hand in Diana's demise; and that 9/11 was an inside job by the CIA. Where does all this come from? At least, in part, from an uncomfortable feeling, experienced in every heart from time to time, that something or someone is out to get us. But, rarely do we imagine that people are conspiring for our benefit. Recent events have put you on edge and led you to wonder who's on your side. Trust, as Mars changes signs. You have a secret society fighting your corner.

GEMINI
Your Week Ahead: If it looks good, sounds good and feels good, what can be so bad about it? There are, of course, many indulgent activities for which we pay a price. There are many people, too, who enjoy an experience only if they feel they shouldn't be having it. And then there are the types of perverse pleasure that some people take in pain. We can't, therefore, conclude that something is automatically fine just because it seems that way. As Mercury turns retrograde this week, it's time to let go of your fears, and trust that you really do know what's good for you.
One bright idea can often make the difference between a tricky situation that must be endured and a positive project that can be enjoyed. One moment of inspired understanding can shed light on a baffling matter - or let us see into the heart of someone we've never felt properly close to before. Mercury may be turning retrograde this week, but the Solstice offers you a revelation, a moment of recognition and realisation, a sense of enlightenment and a deeper affinity with a very special person. Be open to a positive insight that could alter so much.

CANCER
Your Week Ahead: 'Know thyself'. My uncle Jonathan quoted this maxim frequently. Here's another he occasionally employed. 'Know thine enemy'. Actually, like him, I wouldn't like to encourage anyone to feel they had an enemy. Usually, when we identify an opponent or a competitor, we read an edge of antagonism into their actions that either doesn't exist or that we're wiser to ignore. But, this week, consider the possibility that you have an enemy in a broader sense; not a person but an expectation that's working against you. Understand it and you can defeat it.
The teacher is at the front of the class. The students are paying close attention. The teacher makes a statement. The students don't understand it. But none of the students knows that the whole class is baffled. Each one thinks that they have missed something. They don't want to appear foolish, so they don't put their hand up. So the teacher has no idea that the point has been missed. A retrograde Mercury aligns with Pluto this week. There's a question you're burning to ask someone close to you. You're right to ask it. Don't hold back.

LEO
Your Week Ahead: Arguments give rise to more arguments. Conflicts tend to be self-perpetuating. We automatically 'give back' whatever we feel we're getting. If others seem to be criticising us, we look for faults in them. If someone disagrees with us, we are disagreeable in return! With all that in mind, let's look at a situation that has become uncomfortably and unnecessarily tense. Don't do more of what's already not working well. The Solstice brings a chance to do something unexpected and potentially magical. Offer an olive branch. Reach for harmony!
In any truly constructive conversation, both participants genuinely listen to each other. They don't just wait for the other one to finish talking, so that they can then chip in with an opinion that they already hold and have already expressed several times before. Where there is respect, there is always the possibility of positive progress. When reactions are visceral, things go round in circles. As Mars leaves your opposite sign, you're offered an exceptional opportunity to deepen and strengthen an important emotional connection.

VIRGO
Your Week Ahead: On the great smorgasbord of life, many different dishes are on offer. Some are so popular, that you have to fight your way to the front of the buffet, and wait till the pots are refilled before you can have a taste. That's why some people prefer to visit the other end of the table, where there's less of a queue, and try some of the more challenging creations. You're not about to be handed all you want on a plate, but you do have a plate! And, there's some space at the preferable end of the buffet. The solstice brings experiences to enjoy and savour.
Be clear about what you want... and what you don't want. With Mercury turning retrograde, mixed signals are now being sent your way and if you send mixed signals back, no proper communication may ever take place. Yet, as Mars moves opposite your sign, in the realm of the personal and the emotional now, there's a strong need for someone to play a decisive role in ending a process of uncertainty. Guess who needs to be the one to take the initiative? You can do it! Indeed, you must. Fear not. Doing this will move your life on in the right way.

LIBRA
Your Week Ahead: Some scientists tell us that there was nothing in the universe before the Big Bang. How on earth do they know? It's not even as if they figured they had all the time in the world to work it out! By its very definition, the Big Bang denies the existence of eternity - and that can hardly be a clever thing to do. Your current perception of time needs to change. As Mercury turns retrograde and the Solstice arrives, don't let the past bind you to an unchangeable future. That's not how it is. See your situation in a different way and it will turn out differently.
Some people say that the love we feel for our family is more sustainable than the emotions we may experience in a romance. The latter, of course, is a lot more exciting. The former is usually a lot more challenging. There is undoubtedly a big difference between these two types of love. Sooner or later, no matter who we direct our affection towards, we will feel a little let down or disappointed. That's just the way human interaction works! But in this Solstice week, if you can now go beyond that, you can yet experience something wonderful.

SCORPIO
Your Week Ahead: Sometimes, people can't get properly close to each other, until they've had a good argument. It's only after they've done battle that they feel able, somehow, to develop a sense of trust. That's a strange psychological process but it's one that you must now respect if you want to deepen and improve your relationship with a particular person. Saying, 'all the right things' won't necessarily get you all the right results. But allowing some of the wrong things to be said may yet help to bring valuable clarity. It's OK to be wrong for the right reasons
You can't ever really call yourself a winner unless you're prepared to risk ending up a loser! Success and failure are two sides of a coin. Too often, we overlook the real meaning of these words. We all get things wrong, but those of us who keep trying to get things right will sooner or later find a way. It's only when you completely give up on something or someone that words like 'lost' become applicable. As your ruler Mars moves signs this week it brings the realisation that, whatever you may once have lost, what you're about to find means far more.

SAGITTARIUS
Your Week Ahead: What happens when you climb to the top of the mountain? First, you have to climb back down again. Then find another mountain to climb! All victories, no matter how triumphant, eventually become memories - as do all tragedies, no matter how upsetting. Recently, with the Sun in your sign, you had something to celebrate. Now, you can't quite remember why it seemed so exciting. What did it mean? How did it feel? The Solstice not only brings an inspiring reminder of what's good; it shines a light on your next, exciting adventure.
How deep is the ocean? How far does it go? Only people who spend a lot of time on boats really know the answer to this. For most of us, the sea is just a big mass of water that you spot when you get to the end of the land. But it stretches out far beyond the horizon. Indeed, it covers so many miles that we can hardly comprehend its vastness, even in our imagination. Within your heart there is an ocean of love, hope and faith. This week, the Solstice brings the chance to sail out and explore a host of positive possibilities.

CAPRICORN
Your Week Ahead: Imagine that you're Ludwig Van Beethoven. You're composing a great piece of music that will live on for centuries. Then, someone randomly comes along and hits a note on your harmonium or guitar. Are you going to say, 'Well, it wasn't quite the harmony I was looking for but I guess it will do.' Or will you reject it wholeheartedly and insist that the correct note is played? Of course you will! These things matter; and your choices matter too. Lucky for you then, with the Solstice, and the Sun in your sign, you're coming to the height of your powers.
Some commodities are in short supply. That's why the price of precious metals keeps on rising. The demand is greater than the supply. Can the same be true of love? Might there be a world-wide shortage of tenderness, compassion, affinity and respect? Well, there's definitely an apparent lack of this in some quarters. But that's only because some of us don't understand how to draw deep into our own hearts and tap into the endless source. You might not realise it, but you have this ability. With the Sun entering your sign for the Solstice, it's time to use it!

AQUARIUS
Your Week Ahead: We can all find fault with the government. We don't require a qualification in political analysis or, indeed, any formal training. We just have to go to a bar and buy a beer. This gives us automatic licence to spout and share our opinions. We can easily find fault with ourselves too. We just wake up feeling bad and the rest takes care of itself. But just because we can all do this easily, it doesn't follow that we're correct when we do. As Mercury turns retrograde and Mars leaves your sign, don't point fingers this week, and don't let them point at you.
The world is full of people who are enthusiastically pursuing dreadful ideas. There's no talking them out of it. Their minds have been made up. Every so often, you will come across someone with a good idea. One way in which you will be able to recognise them is through their lack of support. Now, of course, sometimes, just sometimes, an idea becomes both popular and positive. You may yet see such a miracle. Meanwhile, be good to someone who seems to be at odds with the rest of the world. They mean more to you than you may know.

PISCES
Your Week Ahead: Credit card providers often warn their customers about identity theft. It's a valid concern in the modern age but it's still an unfortunate piece of terminology. It implies that someone can take 'you' away from 'you'. Yet whatever anyone can ever steal from anyone else, the one thing nobody can ever take is our sense of self. You're you. And that's wonderful. Right now, it's especially good. It entitles you to take action based on what only you know and understand. As Mars moves into your sign, be confident that your decisions will be good ones.
It doesn't much matter how old or how experienced we become, we still get surprised by life's changing patterns and rhythms. A tide comes in, and swamps us. Or it goes out and leaves us feeling high and dry. A new psychological season starts and we find ourselves inappropriately dressed for the emotional weather. With the arrival of Mars in your sign, things are about to move on in your world. Don't base plans for tomorrow on the difficulties you were dealing with yesterday. They'll soon be solved. New romantic challenges (and opportunities) await.

Final NEW MOON of the year comes around to offer us the space to pause and intentionally prepare to begin a New Year.



This New Moon is peaceful and gentle and will be helping all of us to reflect on our goals for the year ahead and what type of energy we want to take with us into the new year.

Under the calming influence of this New Moon we will also be guided to plant our first seed for 2017, in soil that we have so diligently been preparing for a very long time.

Leading up to this New Moon we will all be feeling introspective and reflective about what we have achieved this year and just how far we have travelled. After the New Moon however, we are going to feel a glimmer of energy pushing us forward.

In fact, this New Moon is going to be pushing us to focus on our highest dreams and wishes for ourselves. We are also going to be feeling a strong push of energy that will be urging us to step up and take responsibility for ourselves and for our lives.

We may not be in control of everything that comes our way, but we sure are in control of how we handle everything that comes our way. We are co-creators in this Universe and this New Moon is going to be a strong reminder of that.

This would be the perfect time to start conjuring up new and exciting creations for 2017 as this New Moon will definitely be supporting you to do so.

This New Moon also falls at the same time as Mercury Retrograde. This combination of energy is likely to bring up new information to the surface or new facts that need to be addressed. Secrets may be revealed or you may uncover a hidden truth.

Truth is an interesting thing. What is true today may not be true tomorrow, which means that truth is really not something we can hold to or cling to. We have to allow truth to rise up in each moment and just the same, we have to be true to ourselves in each moment.

Think of this like the wise old Wizard who will pay you a visit on the night of the New Moon. The Wizard won’t say a word, instead he will point its staff on the path in front of you, illuminating everything that you have not been able to see just yet.
This illumination will change how you see things, which will ultimately change your truth.

Under the darkness of this New Moon, now would be the perfect time to start recharging your co-creator energy and cleansing away any negative or psychic debris that you have collected throughout the year. If you want a fresh start, this New Moon is going to grant you that.

This New Moon is also laced with the energy of love. Love and relationships are going to be highlighted around this New Moon and relationships may be a theme. This doesn’t just include romantic relationships but all relationships that we have with other people.

The time has come for us to really think about who we are surrounding ourselves with and who we want to continue to walk alongside on our journey.

Under this New Moon, weak relationships may be tested and you may find that some of the final releasing for this year is from relationships that are no longer serve your highest good.

Neptune, the planet of spirituality, higher consciousness and unconditional love will also be active around the time of this New Moon and will be shining its light on all of us.

This is the perfect time to go within and reconnect with that inner flame or that inner spark of magic that we all have inside.

Magical energy will be strong on this New Moon, so listen and trust your instincts and intuition. The more you tune into your intuitive self, the easier and more fluid your life will become.

Overall, December’s New Moon is very gentle and will be a soft and reflective reminder of just how far we have come and just how exciting the future is.

We have all been working so hard in 2016 and now it is time to plant the first seed in new soil.

This seed is going to be our first bloom for 2017 and it is going to smell sweeter, beam brighter and light up our entire pathway for the year ahead.

Rare, Amazing Energies Begin January 9th 2017




This week, a HIGHLY unique astrology event begins!

ALL planets in our solar system will be going direct for nearly 4 weeks -- this rare event has not occurred since early 2011.

Beginning on January 9th, after Mercury stations direct at 28 deg Sagittarius, we'll have all 12 planets moving FORWARD for 4 weeks of action, manifestation, development, joy, and growth.

Instant manifestations are already happening for many of us  This is the first huge download of higher energies we've had for a while
Are you READY for the next chapter of your life to really begin?

It may have felt slow going in some areas of your life since the new year started, but the shift is coming - keep that faith.

January and February are going to provide big opportunities for moving you forward with your intentions, dreams, and desires. It is time for action and things to get off the ground, even if you may have given up on them previously or thought it would never happen, or did not know what to do next.

It will happen and it is happening and it was simply waiting for the right time - so be ready to say YES and be willing to stretch yourself in new ways.
The biggest planet, Jupiter, will be the first planet to station retrograde on Feb 5at 23 degrees Libra. He will ask us to review what we've learned about sharing, partnerships, cooperation, and who we value in our lives. But even when Jupiter goes retrograde, 11 planets will still be moving forward until March and April - also rare.

Saturn in Sagittarius and Uranus in Aries are helping you establish new foundations in your life that are uniquely YOU. What is your vision for yourself? What is your long-held dream and biggest hope? The past year has required us to look at what we want to take forward, and what we are ready to leave behind. Choice points were needed so you could get clear about what really calls to your heart and soul.

Now you are being given a 'love push' by the Universe/God/Spirit to follow through on what that is. You will feel a push forward to go for it. But you need to be clear and ready to go - the only thing holding back the energy and support could be yourself, so get those duckies in a row now and stay open to what shows up.

Also on the horizon: January 12th is a Full Moon in Cancer, that pulls us back into our hearts to make sure we are taking care of ourselves, our needs, and trusting our feelings as wise messengers. You can't spend all day at the office, or you'll get sick and then be forced to nurture yourself. Take care of yourself and balance the workload with downtime - it will pay off in the long run and keep you healthier.

Then 2017 officially begins with the first New Moon of the year on January 28 at 7 degrees Aquarius. This is when we have assimilated what is best for ALL (ourselves, our community, humanity, the globe) and can begin with those intentions that support and serve in cosmic ways. This New Moon is meant to get something off the ground for you that is creative, high-vibe, and a bit forward-thinking. It's also excellent for metaphysical studies.

As an astrologer, I am absolutely in LOVE with January and February as two months of really special energy.

I hope this heads up helps you stay motivated for what you want in your life, knowing that some times it is a matter of timing and bigger collaboration with the cosmos before our next steps can fully materialize.

Your astrological outlook for week beginning January 16th 2017


ARIES
Are you looking before you leap?
Heed your psychic intuition
Romantic temptation but should you go for it?

‘Oh, I
I might not be flawless, but you know
I gotta diamond heart’  – Lady GaGa

How was last week? A bit hectic? Did you grab some magic from your Cardinal Grand Cross quest? I bet you did! This week has a whole different dynamic. Saturn, the lord of responsibility, is square Mars your ruler on the 19th. This planetary grappling can feel a little bit irritating to an Aries; Saturn likes to restrict until all the steps are done properly, and Mars wants you to go, go, go! Heck, as an Aries, you want to rush forward and deal with things as they happen, not pussy-foot around wasting time. Yes, you may have had an uncanny success with this approach in the past but if you’re honest, you’ve also cocked up opportunities and had to turn back.

Funnily enough on this occasion, Saturn has your back as he is in your position of adventure, expansion and learning. Saturn wants you to expand and grow, but he also wants to make sure you have reflected on the direction you are going in. Is what you are chasing really what you want and need? Mars, is in an intuitive and unclear space. Yes, you are super psychic and sensing things, however, you could also be looking at the world through rose-tinted Raybands. Saturn is just making sure you’re eagerly bounding in the right direction!

The Sun is shifting signs and making you super social. You’re confident in teams and networking and feel quite cheery about an upcoming project. Pluto is bringing intensity to your work environment, but as he is in a lovely sextile to Venus, there could be an intense attraction. Keep one Ugg boot on the ground though as Venus is in your dreamy, romantic, past life attraction, secretive place, so it’s harder for you to say no.

TAURUS
A soul connection gets serious
Beware a power struggle
you shine in your career and give others a boost.

The start of 2017 certainly has an intensity about it! After last weeks fairy tale exploring, you now have to examine your gung-ho attitude to teamwork and collaborations. It seems that you are passionate about a joint project and intent on forging ahead. Being the loyal Taurus, you know that if you say you’ve committed, that’s that. Commitment is everything to you, and also the scale you rate your closeness with people.

However, Saturn on the 19th is asking you to look at the power dynamic of any groups you’re involved in, or you may find frustrations and restrictions later on. Do you hate people telling you what to do? Does someone think you have too much control in the decision making? Do you think someone is too bossy? Whatever it is, it’s best to sort it out now.

The Sun enters your career zone on the 20th giving you a boost and added confidence, and there’s a sense of optimism in the air which makes you look forward to the week ahead. When you’re confident, people find it very easy to believe in you as you’re so gorgeously trustworthy and real.

Also on the 20th Venus, your Ruler, is having a flirtation with Pluto, Lord of the Underworld, who wants you to have an adventure. There may be a magnetic attraction that takes you out of your comfort zone or wholly transforms your life!

2017 has got off to quite the exciting start. Last week may have been a roller-coaster, but at least you weren’t bored! Boredom is the energy zapper of the Gemini spirit. This week we kick off with a feeling of restriction on the 19th as Saturn asks you to examine your motives.

Remember, restrictions are different to boredom, so it’s important that you don’t get that confused. Put that razor wit mind to good use and examine what and why some restrictions are in place, see it as a mysterious puzzle that once solved, gives you a prize.

Are you restricting yourself in some way? Do you feel if you flew free you would be less secure? Are you cautious about going for what you want because it would upset someone? Saturn is in your relationship zone, and Mars is in your career sector. There may be a part of you that is eager to go for it, but due to compromise or even control issues in a relationship, you feel constricted. It’s the beginning of a new year, and new soul cycle for you so spend some time examining how you can find balance in these areas. You have every right to expand and grow.

The Sun is entering your expansion zone and making you feel curious and inquisitive. The Sun is giving you the confidence and hunger for learning, a taste for the unusual. It’s time for you to skip down the road less traveled.

Do you need a detox?
Take care of all the details to storm ahead

“Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go.” — T.S Eliot

Last week’s Full Moon in your sign was a whirlwind of emotion and revelations. How are you feeling now? This week is about honing your goals, plus a rush of overwhelming desire. Saturn, the Lord of Responsibility, is in your health and well-being sector on the 19th tussling with Mars in your adventure zone but things don’t have to be heated.

Try not to feel hemmed in; Saturn is trying to give you good advice which is to plan carefully. Most importantly make sure you take care of the details, and don’t forget to look after your body right now. Saturn warns you that it is no time to be slapdash, as you are about to push through to new frontiers.

Mars is giving you the courage to explore more and embrace the new. You feel like traveling, learning and getting physical. If you don’t resist Saturn’s advice and get all your ducks in a row, then you can march off on your journey secure that you are well prepared. Whether it’s an intellectual journey or you’re expanding your awareness, or even literal travel, Saturn’s advice is that you embrace the boy scouts motto and ‘always be prepared’.

Looking for romance? You might get more than you bargained for as Pluto the Lord of intensity, transformation, obsession and life changes is sextile (happily connected to) Venus in your adventure space. Yikes, this could get exciting but also overwhelming? Look out for unusual and fascinating love interests, and if you’re involved already, it’s the perfect time to think out of the box and do things differently. You might be surprised what comes up!

Careful what you wish for as the heavens are listening!

You’re feeling pretty serious about achieving your dreams this week. Perhaps you find yourself reflecting on how another year has passed, and you didn’t quite express all the creativity and joy you could have in 2016? Right now Saturn is making you feel pretty serious about your future fulfillment and happiness. On the 19th Saturn is squaring Mars in your primal zone. You have probably been tempted to let off steam by being passionate or in control or even arguing with someone. All of these pursuits probably distracted you from seeing how you can find a more long-standing happiness.

Saturn is urging you to dig in and be the creative spirit that you are. A strong soul may have influenced you, and there may have been an age difference, perhaps an older male or even a forceful personality that was younger than you? We all know that soul connections can pop up that are any age etc., but there are times when age can matter or becomes a problem, possibly because however old or young, their wisdom is not as deep as their soul implies? Or perhaps this soulmate is sharing a lesson with you that is potent but not permanent.

You have the choice to let go and be a kinder friend to yourself or deal with things in a different way. Saturn tells you to take charge of your destiny and trust your abilities. Funnily enough, this could whisk you to a whole new level of peace and delight.

Fortunately, the Sun your Ruler is entering your position of relationships on the 20th giving you confidence in this area. You feel good about you and others are drawn to your warm and natural charismatic air.
Also, Pluto sextile Venus on the  20th has you thinking about your love extremes and could dangle a new one?

The time has come for you to make a few decisions regarding your love life. Single or taken this is a time of healing. You might feel a bit resistant at first as past issues come rising to the surface.  Having said that, you are keen to delve into a relationship that is solid.

You want to build a family or more committed relationship, or you feel that the past or present extended family issues are interfering with your relationships or ability to have a strong love connection. On the 16th and also on the 19th this could come to ahead. If you’re single, you seek peace without being pushed and pulled by what everyone else needs.

The Sun shifts into your health and well-being sector, urging you to go within to look after yourself and re-balance. Meditation, mindfulness, healthy eating all give you a soul boost.

The good news is that Pluto sextile Venus on the 20th brings you a very special message or experience of heightened love. Allow the Universe to pour love into you and open your heart to the possibility of another. There is some very special love magic in the air.

Take time to reflect on the next big leap
All change on the home front
A brilliant idea boosts your happiness

‘Mindfulness helps you go home to the present. And every time you go there and recognise a condition of happiness that you have, happiness comes.’ – Thich Nhat Hanh

Hermit? You? There’s lots of energy in your health and well-being as well as work sector, so you’re determined to go within and gather your focus for the year. Taking time out is no bad thing, give yourself this time to ponder the next phase. Don’t worry, this internal gazing on the 16th and 19th brings a soul healing and allows you to let go of the past and reach out for what you truly need.

Your forecast for the week beginning 6th February 2017

This week ends with a full lunar eclipse in the astrological sign of LEO.
The last eclipse was in September 2016 and February’s Eclipse is going to bring an end to whatever energy was brewing at this time. This ending is to pave the way for a new beginning, which will come at the end of the month on the New Moon Solar Eclipse.
Lunar Eclipses are always viewed in astrology as being deeply transformative times that can bring abrupt and sudden change. While this is true, there is another side to Eclipses that is important to remember.
This Eclipse energy feels very fated and illuminating, almost like the Universe is drawing your attention to a particular area of your life for a very specific reason.
Seeing that the Eclipse falls in the sign of Leo, there is going to be a fiery element to this Full Moon as well. This energy is going to help push things along but it is also going to provoke abrupt endings.



ARIES
An ex lover gets in touch

Teamwork is the key to success

Rediscover your passions

Brace yourself! It’s the week of the Full Moon eclipse, where you get to unload some baggage while getting a direct message from your soul. If you ignore the information, the Moon may give you a gentle shove (or large boot up the bum) in the right direction. She’s also going to free you of something or someone who no longer serves you. Pay careful attention to what you say and who you say it to. This is also a week to build bridges and collaborate with like-minded folk who care as passionately about the world as you do.
Let’s start at the beginning. Jupiter the Planet of good fortune and expansion is going retrograde in your place of relationships. To heal your love life, to get to the next step with a lover or to fix your relationship with yourself, you have to look at the past. Do you have unfinished business with an ex? Is there a relationship pattern you need to break? Did you do things differently in the past or have you let go of intimacy or got stuck in a routine? Jupiter is taking you on a trip down memory lane to find the answer. Don’t panic though, no rush, Jupiter is doing this until June. The more honest you are with yourself and the more you clear, the further rewards you will receive in June.
Mercury is waking you up to new ideas via groups of people, social networking and may encourage you to publish your thoughts, join a protest group or find the perfect team that are on your wavelength. You feel super connected at the moment, which gives extra magic to your ability to cosmic order your desires. What have you got to lose? Give it a go, send a wish into the Universe and see what happens.
The Full Moon eclipse is in your position of creativity, soul mates and passion. There could be an extreme peak experience in one of those areas, but it also marks a time of change with endings and beginnings. Let go of your fears. Are you frightened of not being lovable or creative enough? Surrender these old wounds to the Moon and allow the next phase to open before you. The Mystic Rectangle gives you a love gift with your love life broadening and expanding. Love is about to get very exciting, do the work on yourself so that you can fully enjoy it.

TAURUS
Your mind, body and spirit is rejuvenated

A brilliant work boost

Family relationships are resolved

Grab your skis, boxing gloves, yoga mat, roller skates. Jupiter is retrograde and yelling at you to remember your favourite way to get fit and healthy. If your most recent memory of working out was ballet class aged six, you might be in for a shock. You have an overwhelming urge to move, eat well and find inner peace. Whatever excites your body, from walking, to frisky afternoons with a lover, the Universe is making it easier. You suddenly get a desire for green smoothies or hemp lozenges, not because you’ve swapped souls with Gwyneth Paltrow, but because your spirit knows you are going to need it this year to accomplish all the wonderful opportunities that are coming. No one’s saying you can’t slip in the odd beetroot or Akai retox martini, but do take advantage of this cosmic vibe, and you’ll be astounded by the results, a clearer mind and an energised soul.
Mercury is gliding into your career zone making you as charming as the Great Gatsby or as confident as Kayne. Work folk believe in you now, and this is the perfect time to go for an interview or convince the boss you deserve a pay rise. Whatever field you are in, you have outstanding ideas and renewed enthusiasm.
The eclipse looms on the 11th and brings with her an opportunity for you to heal long-standing family issues. It may be an emotional roller-coaster, it may all come to a head, but once it’s cleared, there’s a new cycle, and you won’t feel you are carrying such a heavy load. The Mystic Rectangle is bringing you back into your power.

GEMINI
Relationships get real
A 
Soul connection takes you by surprise

An ex lover wants to talk

Jumping Jupiter! Lucky Jupiter is heading backwards for six months, taking a trip into the past, and he asks you to join him on a treasure hunt. What you’re seeking is the fun, passion and creativity that you may have forgotten about or left behind. Take a gander at the things that made you happy, can you reinstate some of them?
On the 7th, your Ruler Mercury is also slipping into a new energy which makes you keen to explore the unusual. Travel, new philosophies and eccentric conversations float your boat. You don’t want to be tied down by the boring and predictable, and could find yourself invited on an adventure. Have you thought about studying a new topic or planning a trip to an exotic location? It doesn’t have to be abroad; it could just be heading to a place you’ve never been that’s different in some way. When you explore the unknown, it liberates your mind to start thinking in new directions.
The Full Moon eclipse on the 11th is making you hunger for a decent conversation, one that has meaning. You are about to have a radical shift in your ideas and thinking and want to bring back the spontaneity to affection and exploring love. If you’ve reached the end of your emotional rope with a friend or lover, you might decide to call it quits this week, but it’s all a question of how a meaningful conversation ends up. Your love life might be turned on it’s head with a Mystic Rectangle that provides you with a message revealing the truth about your future happiness. This is deep stuff. To make the most use of it, it’s essential that you’re honest with yourself and look at your true feelings. Either way, you find the path to happiness and could end up having a delicious soul connection. Relationships are about to get real.

CANCER
You try to reach your happy ending
Revisit the past for answers
Time to look after yourself

Home is where the heart is this week, as your Ruler, the Moon, on the 11th, is creating a portal of emotional and financial change with a powerful eclipse. You might feel like a character actor in La-la Land struggling to succeed with all sorts of emotions washing over you from despondency to hope. At the end of the day, it’s the hope that wins, as you come to a realisation and crossroads about your financial and emotional security to reach your happy ending (I can’t vouch for the films ending though as I haven’t seen it haha!). However, the Moon has her own show for you to star in and It’s all about staying yourself and not compromising to get ahead. You are more than good enough and the Moon will show you how.
Another emotion that is stirred and requires your attention around issues with home and family; Jupiter from the 7th is asking you to go back to the past and see where these dynamics stem from. The Moon eclipse energy is accompanied by a Mystic Rectangle, a personal message to your soul from the Universe. Your message is around money and security, family and your health and well-being. It’s time to look after yourself and not always be the giver. How are your energy reserves? There could be good news around a move, as well as a revelation regarding a family member. Allow yourself to go with the flow of what the Moon is offering you. Your unconscious already knows what you need to do.

LEO
Your full moon is here!
Truths are revealed
Seize your newfound power

Grab your sage stick; it’s time to cleanse the past and release the old. This high impact emotional week is going to set you free. The much talked about intense Full Moon Eclipse on the 11th is in your sign. You might find that there are a lot of emotional people around you this week, but like a good cosmic air hostess will tell you, ‘put your oxygen mask on first before you help others’. This is your Moon, and she brings you the gift of the year, helping you transform and fly. Your unconscious and psychic intuition bring waves of wisdom to the surface.
Expect epic conversations that reveal some stunning ‘truths’.  You’re about to realise exactly where you are and how to move into a space of joy, and Mercury on the 7th is preparing you. He’s backing all this energy up by shimmying into your relationship zone. You are more than delighted to meet someone on middle ground, and to be fair and compromise. There may be a confession of love, a discussion about how you can make space to do what you love. You may stand forward in your power like never before and finally have your own back. Becoming your best friend is the power move you need to make to take advantage of this magical time. For some Leo’s it could be hard, especially if you aren’t prepared to let go of something or someone who is not healthy for you. However, you have the right guides and friends to celebrate your bravery. A new lover might also appear who loves you for you, strong you, soft you, vulnerable you, drunk you, Pajama you!

VIRGO
A past life connection pops up

A job offer from the past

Your psychic skills are on fire

Keep your eyes peeled for an old friend who may provide you with a contact that could prove valuable. Jupiter is taking you back to the past to sort out your finances; he’s on this vibe for six months. You want to be solid and secure, and Jupiter is showing you how, by bringing something back to you, something you left behind, which could now prove invaluable to your progress. Mercury might remind you of something as simple as an attitude or a habit that you’ve stopped. Or he might be pointing out self-destructive spending habits or behaviour that is blocking your progress. Do the work, and by the end of the year, you could be astounded by the results.
on the 7th, Mercury, your Ruler, is shifting signs and giving you a boost when it comes to taking care of the details. You want everyone to stick to what they say, and you are intent on doing the very best. If you promise something this week, you cast it in stone. Try to avoid being critical of yourself or others. If you feel that you need to be perfect, let it go, no one is.
The Full Moon Eclipse on the 11th is a biggy; she is waking you up and bringing your psychic awareness to the surface. You sense what other people are feeling and thinking. Strange coincidence or cosmic occurrence may happen on the 11th. Your soul is talking to you directly and you may have a dream that’s important, don’t dismiss your gut feeling. The Mystic Rectangle promises to sort out any home or family issues as long as you notice your pattern of behaviour in it. It’s all about taking our power back by fixing the stuff in ourselves that we would rather ignore, you’ll be amazed how easy it is when you DO do it and the results it achieves.

LIBRA
You reinvent yourself

A flirtation reaches fever pitch

You let go of a groups influence

Lucky expansive Jupiter is in your sign, making this the best potential year you’ve had for 12 years! This week he turns backwards and wants you to gather precious gifts from your past. Perhaps Jupiter wants you to heal the past so that you can make the most of the present and future? Maybe he wants you to examine who you are now and where you have come from? Whatever the lesson the past brings, it’s incredibly important for the ultimate success of your year. Jupiter turns Retrograde in your sign until June 9th, so there is no rush. You should get a clue this week about what you need to time travel back to reclaim or fix.
Mercury from the 7th is making you smile a lot and jump into the mornings feeling inspired and more optimistic. Even if you are going through a hard time, you’re lifted and able to feel supported. Mercury in your happy house makes this your creative time, what do you want to create? Love interest should also hot up with better communication and a sense of play. Love feels lighter and easier; this is the perfect time for soulmate connections and playful, loving times.
Drum roll, please… The Full Moon eclipse on the 11th in your social zone is bringing a crossroads. Situations are coming to a head with teams and collaborations; you may find you’re leaving or entering a group situation and reevaluating your place and who or what you want to join forces with. This Full Moon eclipse is an emotional rebirth for you. With the Moon sextile Jupiter in your sign, this awakening should bring great benefits and new beginnings. In fact, the week ends with celebration and lovin’ as you find out who your true tribe is.

SCORPIO
What do you want to say to that ex?

Happy home times

A career revelation

How do you feel about the past? The past is about to visit for awhile, and you are about to understand your soul connections to the people that have shaped who you are. It doesn’t mean you have to repeat the past, far from it. Yes, there may be a second chance with someone but is it worth it? It may be that you meet up with an ex and realise how far you have come. Are there still some self-destructive patterns you need to shift? Jupiter wants you to know you are as important and special as anyone on Earth. He also wants you to understand that it’s time to trust your gut feelings and psychic awareness. How many times have you been burned by ignoring your initial feelings? You have 6 months to benefit from his in-depth investigation into the old you. Having said that, watch your boundaries, or you may slip back into a familiar role.
Mercury on the 7th brings a cosy feeling to your home, and you want to get romantic and close to those you love. Meals indoors and snuggles on the sofa etc., all recharge your spirit. You’re able to heal close relationships with quiet times doing your favourite things.
The Full Moon Eclipse on the 11th (and accompanying Mystic Rectangle) bring about a personal transformation. How you feel about your career and life path comes rushing to the surface. You can’t ignore your true feelings and may find yourself changing direction. Trust your spirit and inner voice as you have some great advice for yourself! All this eventually leads to you feeling much more secure and able to lay some solid foundations.

SAGITTARIUS
A dashing eccentric catches your eye

Travel is on the cards in more ways than one

An old friend makes you an offer

Seeds you threw out in the past are bringing you rewards; you have made a memorable impression in the past, there may be an offer, a chance to go back and collaborate with an old team or tribe, but have you outgrown it? Jupiter from the 6th Feb until 9th June is guiding you back to make sure you haven’t left anything behind. If you’re looking to expand, turn to old contacts who might be more helpful than you think. You have six months to reflect on your role in groups while also reassessing the experiences you had. This is a big deal for you, and should bring some surprising results.
Mercury on the 7th is shifting signs, making it easier for you to express and have new inspiration. Your ideas are contagious right now, and you’ll find other people more receptive to what you have to say. This is a time to push your agenda and open yourself to a new direction.
The Full Moon eclipse on the 11th is shaking you up so that you can explore your life in a new way. You have a huge wake-up call and realise that life is short and you want to feast on an adventure and learn things. If you have been in situations where you feel restricted or controlled, you find that your soul will no longer tolerate it. You have a desire for the unusual and might be attracted to someone totally different to you, but maverick and exciting. This is your life journey and you have every right to do it your way.

CAPRICORN
You’re laying firm foundations

A taboo desire tempts you

You secure a fair deal

Listening to Britneys ‘Work b**tch’ on replay or perhaps Donna Summers ‘She works hard for her money’? You have been super hyped about your career recently, determined, committed and focused. Jupiter, the Planet of good fortune, has no doubt been impressed. However, he is now about to go retrograde. You might feel as if things are slowing down but don’t be fooled into thinking you are going back into limbo. Jupiter just wants you to make sure you are creating positive patterns and not missing anything. This standstill is going on for six months, but it does bring back some interesting connections, and there is a lot going on under the surface.
Mercury, the Planet of communication, is entering your secure finance zone. You get serious about securing what is yours and building solid relationships. There is no space in your life to be flaky over money, and you have to put your money where your mouth is! If you are serious about security, this is your time to achieve it.
The Full Moon Eclipse on the 11th is poking some very deep buttons. Sex, power, obsession and jealousy all reach a peak, BUT you also have an opportunity to step into your own power and release some of the fears that have been blocking you. This eclipse is coupled with a Mystic Rectangle that is going to steer you in the right direction and reveal how you can take a step towards your dreams

AQUARIUS
Love gets real

Your persuasive powers are off the chart

Passion is stormy and deep

Where have you been? You’re an adventurous spirit, and it’s reawakened as Jupiter goes backwards for four months on the 6th. Playing it safe recently? Not anymore. It could be that someone from the past gets in touch and you are finally able to give them the blunt truth about your feelings. Jupiter is going backwards for four months and you’re ready to confront the past and tell your truth.
Mercury, the Planet of communication on the 7th, is entering your sign, and with it giving you exceptional powers of persuasion. Your words are spells and are far more convincing that usual. You can also sniff out ‘fake news’ at 100 yards, and anyone inauthentic is crossed off your Christmas list as you demand to be surrounded by straight talkers. Anyone that sits on the fence will annoy you as you want to know who your allies are. Use this charm to be kind to people that need a boost, to deliver your ideas into the right hands and embrace conversations that are meaningful to you.
The Full Moon eclipse is incredibly potent, as it stirs our deepest emotions and drags to the surface all of our unconscious feelings. For you, the Moon is stoking your relationship zone. The Full Moon eclipse helps you come to terms with the way you behave when in love, helps you shift insecurities, but also will reveal exactly where personal relationships are going. The eclipse is coupled with a Mystic Rectangle, delivering your soul a unique message. Your life is about to get a lot bigger and a lot more interesting.

PISCES
You have even more psychic super powers

A charmer can’t charm you

It’s time to allow that old soul strength out

Beautiful Pisces, this week reveals some secrets, and you may find yourself putting your armour on and facing the past. There have been times where you felt taken advantage of, unappreciated, or involved in a love affair that you felt stole your self-esteem? Jupiter is urging you to be brave and dig deep. You are about to regain all of your power but you have to remain true to yourself. Perhaps you hear from someone who you were or are obsessed with? Or maybe you take a trip down memory lane have to go back to somewhere familiar? Whatever it is, the whole purpose is to make sure you don’t give your power away again. It could be that someone leaves you some money, or an ex-lover dangles temptations, but your soul wants to go forwards not backwards.
Mercury is making you Super Psychic and excellent at seeing the truth. You have a tendency to be too empathetic and compassionate. Compassion is great, but don’t get yanked into a sob story. Keep your fins on the ground and use your psychic intuition and logic to analyse what someone is saying to you.
The Full Moon Eclipse in your health and well-being sector wants you to be the boss of your body. Have you been comfort eating, drinking or junk food TV binging? You have no choice but to pay attention to your mind, body and soul. You have spent far too long letting others play games or intimidate you. Your sensitive soul is now blossoming and allowing you to be radically honest about where your future lays.

SOLAR ECLIPSE OF THE NEW MOON 26th FEBRUARY 2017

Solar Eclipse February 2017 Astrology New Moon The solar eclipse on 26 February 2017 is at 8 degrees Pisces. The solar eclipse February 2017 astrology is dominated by the spiritual planet Neptune to bring hope of a brighter future. Good fortune and lasting happiness come from the stars in this region of the sky.

The February 2017 solar eclipse is just as happy and magical as the February 10 lunar eclipse. Acting in unison over coming months, this eclipse phase gives you an opportunity to turn your dreams into reality by drawing on your god given talents.

You can look forward to enduring results especially in relationships, so long as you remain humble and grateful to a higher power. Extravagance, greed or selfishness will see an end to your good fortune by the beginning of the next eclipse phase in August 2017.

New Moon Solar Eclipse Meaning
Like any new moon, a solar eclipse represents the end of one cycle and the beginning of a new cycle. The strongest and most important aspect in all of astrology is the Sun conjunct Moon. It means that all possibilities are on the table and you can rightly put yourself in the forefront of new plans for the future.

Old habits, behaviors and beliefs can be questioned as you search for new and inventive ways to make progress. This is the ideal time to make a fresh start by writing a to-do list on a blank sheet of paper.

This solar eclipse will compliment themes found in the February 10 lunar eclipse. Together they act as an eclipse phase which lasts until the eclipses of August 2017.

Solar Eclipse New Moon February 2017 Visibility
On the morning of Sunday 26 February 2017 the solar eclipse will be visible from south America. It then ends in south-western Africa at sunset. Being an annular solar eclipse, not all of the Sun will be darkened.

Planetary Alert – Very Intense Energies Right Now and into the Weekend! – Margaret Gray
www.astrologypsychological.com
www.relationshipsandastrology.com

Sunday: The Annular Solar Eclipse (New Moon) at 8’ Pisces 12:

As the Moon passes between the Earth and Sun today our ego is momentarily obscured by our emotions. With 4 planets in Pisces + Chiron and the South Node, the planetary energies are predominantly emotional as we swim in the oceanic depths of our feelings. Like all forms of water, Piscean energy ideally needs to flow. When it's blocked, feelings tend to freeze and if uncontained they can flood! At it's most expansive Pisces is about spiritual connection, imagination, unconditional love and compassion. At it's most limited it can be about escapism, avoidance of responsibilities, commitment or accountability and/or being a martyr or victim. Pisces energy can create a hall of mirrors where we struggle to figure out what's real and what is illusion, later resulting in an inevitable delusion.

The conjunction of the Eclipse to the South Node as well as to Neptune can indicate that issues related to past lifetimes may come to the surface at this time to be healed and released on a personal and collective level. It may be very helpful to pay particular notice to dreams this weekend and the people and situations you encounter. With only Pluto in an Earth sign, there is little grounding in the planetary energies so we need to provide it for ourselves through nature, exercise, visualizations...

Core themes to explore with this Pisces Eclipse:
1. Oneness and unconditional love – Who do you love unconditionally – including yourself? Who loved you unconditionally as a child?
2. Spirituality - What is your relationship with the ‘spiritual’ dimension of life? What helps you to connect with this level within yourself?
3. Creativity and Imagination - How do you express your creativity?
4. Feelings - What feelings do you struggle to express and what tools assist you to do so?
5. Addictions - What addictions mask your feelings? What feelings would come to the surface if you stopped all your addictions?

Dr. Bernadette Brady describes this Eclipse, which belongs to Saros Series 19 South, as follows:
“This is a family of Eclipses that brings with it the element of the pleasant surprise. Sudden happiness, a joyful event, the lucky break, the lucky win. The events which will be occurring can be believed and can positively change the person’s life.”

Venus Retrograde 2017 Fated Love



Venus retrograde is a six-week period of exciting opportunities with love and money. Instant attraction and whirlwind romances are possible. The key to enjoying this Venus retrograde is to choose your options carefully. Hasty decisions based more on lust than love will only end in sorrow once Venus turns direct.

You can find true love during Venus retrograde but some hardship or delay is to be expected. These shared burdens are a sign of fated love and the price you must pay to be together. Self love, patience and good timing will increase your chance of a loving and lasting relationship.

Transiting Venus retrograde occurs once every 19 months for a period of six weeks (42 days). This means Venus is retrograde only 7% of the time which is the least amount of any planet. The next closest is Mars retrograde at 9% then Mercury retrograde at 19%. Venus retrograde should therefore be the most strongly felt of all retrograde planets.

During Venus in retrograde your love life enters a fated period. Giving and receiving love and affection becomes more difficult. Old friends or lovers may reappear or you may relive past life experiences in order to sort out karmic issues. As Venus also rules money, it’s traditionally thought that Venus retrograde is not an ideal time for investing or buying luxury items.

Venus retrograde in transit is a time of introspection and reassessment. You may be interested in someone or something of value that would bring you pleasure. Destiny encounters are possible and you may actually come into contact with your soul mate. If so, you should experience a feeling of inevitability or familiarity. However, it is better to wait until Venus turns direct to make your move.

Use Venus retrogrades to improve how you feel about yourself, to love yourself more. Think about what really brings you pleasure. Find the reasons for problems in previous or current relationships. This is where old lovers reappearing can help you clear away the past to make room for new relationships. Even reminiscing about previous partners can be enough to empty out your karmic baggage and lighten the load.

June Full Moon 2017 in SAGITTARIUS




The June Full Moon falls on the 9th in the fire sign of Sagittarius, bringing intensity, transformation and optimism.

Sagittarius energy is wise and expansive. Whenever the Full Moon is in Sagittarius it amplifies our thoughts and feelings and brings more information to the surface.

It’s almost like this Full Moon is going to give us a magnifying glass so we can see in greater detail what is working and not working in our lives.

After this Full Moon, there is going to be a lot more clarity about what changes or adjustments need to be made and consequently there will be a peace that will follow.

The June Full Moon has an intense energy due to the presence of the planet Saturn, which is also currently touring the sign of Sagittarius.

Saturn is like the stern teacher of the cosmos and is always ensuring that we have done our homework and understood the karmic lessons that we have been sent to learn.

The Moon and Saturn will be working together to deliver any karmic messages and healing that we need in order to walk our highest path.

There is a transition or a shift that we all need to make in 2017 in order to align with our highest path and these two cosmic forces will be helping us all to achieve this.

2017 is a year of new beginnings and as we reach the midway point of the year, things are going to be speeding up to help us get started on this new chapter of our lives.

June’s Full Moon also falls between two Super New Moons, which means that endings are also likely to occur.

Full Moons often signify a time of completion and there may be something you are wrapping up or completing in your own life so you can start fresh.

Whatever stirs for you around this Full Moon, know that it is part of your karmic journey and part of what your soul has come here to learn.

While life is about learning and evolving it is also about finding the joy, as the poet Hafiz says- “stay close to anything that makes you glad you are alive.”

The July 9th Capricorn Full Moon – Intensity and Power Struggles




Watch out for drama, power struggles and intensity this weekend!
Normally, the Capricorn Full Moon is the ideal time to make cool and calculated career plans, set goals for anything that requires tremendous amounts of work and discipline, manifesting a new job, climbing up the career ladder, coming up with practical and pragmatic solutions and assuming greater responsibilities. However, the July 2017 Full Moon in Capricorn is no ordinary Cappie Moon…

The normally pragmatic Capricorn Full Moon may find itself completely out of whack and the main player causing such havoc is Pluto which is sitting right next to the Full Moon (only one degree apart). Those of you who normally get more emotional than usual around the Full Moon may find this tendency multiplied. Of course, these intense emotions could still concern career-related matters but do try to stay away from power struggles. If you initiate anything because you are being emotionally reactive you are likely to create a lose-lose situation because The Moon is not only opposite the Sun this time but Sun conjunct aggressive, domineering and volatile Mars.

Channel any irritability into exercise or creative pursuits instead. A long hard run or half an hour of boxercise will be way more helpful than trying to engage with whoever is your perceived source of aggravation. However, we also have Mercury sextile Venus this weekend, so for situations that are not overly tense, you may wish to try negotiating by putting your most diplomatic foot forward… and now that you know which way the wind blows in general this weekend, you come forewarned and forearmed so that you are able to deflect any negativity.

Of course, the best solution is to – if at all possible – just walk away from confrontation that threatens go get out of hand. Also, please be careful if you are travelling or out and about. Drunk and disorderly type crimes are likely to sky-rocket on Saturday night so take good care of yourself to stay safe. With Mars as one of the main players, accidents of any kind could be on the rise too this weekend.

Those of you who are in already shaky relationships… brace yourselves. This could very well be the weekend of the break-up. Then again, if it is, it may be for your highest good so please don’t despair. Those of you in relatively stable relationships, just remember that being kind is more important than being right.
