Weekly Astrology Report
Sat Oct 31 2011 – Sat Nov 5 2011 - audio report
Good Morning! We have an exciting weekend ahead of us. How interesting at the end of October to have a major Nor’easter. The chart for this weekend shows Neptune at the end of the sign. Neptune rules things like this: big storms and white-outs and all sorts of heavy rain. So it’s not a total surprise astrologically. However, what I think is setting this off in particular storm off is the nodes of the Moon . The nodes of the Moon are not actual bodies in the sky but are intersection points- very important points, where the Moon crosses from north to south. Those points are where the eclipses take place and when these lunar nodes line up with an eclipse degree there are headliner events. The nodes are at 14° Sagittarius/Gemini and the eclipse related to this degree is not until next June. It doesn’t matter. All it has to do is set off that degree and you get major news. Also today, the Sagittarius Moon is crossing right over that north node. We can visualize this as swelling that takes place of all of this lunar energy and we invite everyone to this snowy party. To boost the effect we see that the Sun and Jupiter are opposite – that was on Friday 10/28, which pumps up the volume for the activities. Add to that Mars that is approaching an opposition to Neptune. Mars is the motivator keeps the engine going. Neptune is the one that is creating all of this white out stuff.
Another really interesting thing that is going on now. Mercury and Venus are travelling very closely together. They don’t actually make a technical conjunction. However, they act as if. So because they are so close what is happening Venus is moving faster than Mercury as Mercury slows down for its retrograde station November 24, 2011 at 20° Sagittarius.
With the Mercury-Venus alignment we may have a greater joining of minds. You may be compelled to make an important statement as you feel you have found “your voice” about something. I find this is a very important couple of planets to watch because these are the two planets that are truly insiders of the Earth and the Sun. These are our social connectors amplifying the way we think and feel on a very personal level. This is a time to bring this out into the open when these two planets join. You may notice how these things from deep inside and move out into a more public place. We are going to talk a little more about Venus and Mercury as they change signs this week.
For today we have a Sagittarius Moon, as I mentioned. It is a very good day for expanding beyond your every day circle. I rated this day with a green light to move forward with your decisions, your purchases, your greater goals. That’s because the final aspect of the Sagittarius Moon is in a bridge building aspect, and that’s a 60 degree aspect, to Neptune. Neptune rules this white weather. The aspect of the day is a positive parallel between Venus and Pluto. This creates a very good time for markets and sales. There are intense desires that are attached to what it is you want and need. Those things you also want to bring to the negotiation table – it’s a money day. Alliances are designed for financial gain. Also Venus and Pluto are very sexual, and sensual, and can show the jealous side, sexual stuff that could complicate matters. So it should make for a very interesting date night as well.
October 30th on Sunday, the day begins with that Sagittarius Moon that reaches Neptune at 9:30 am beginning a void of course Moon period. The void of course Moon period does end at 12:38 pm tomorrow. That’s when the Moon enters Capricorn.
The Capricorn Moon sign last until Tuesday at 6:07 PM. The Capricorn Moon sign for Sunday 10/30 is without planetary aspects which can give a smooth transition for your activities. There are drawbacks to a Capricorn Moon. It’s a money sign. But the Moon is not comfortable in this sign. It’s ruled by Saturn. The Moon is opposite its home ground of Cancer which is also a drawback. The good thing is that the last aspect that the Capricorn Moon sign will make is a very positive 60° sextile to Venus, indicating that things should end well. However Venus is also compromised because it is in the sign of Scorpio which is opposite her home ground of Taurus as well. So this may cause some dissatisfaction and you may be forced to take a concession prize. So if you are out fishing you may not catch that big fish, but a smaller fish might help after all.
Monday October 31st Happy Halloween! The Capricorn Moon sends out a warning that your dreamy ideas could cost you a bundle when Venus in Scorpio moves into a 90° square with Neptune at 5:19 pm. This causes a tendency to be overly sentimental, romantic, emotionally dreamy, and you could fall in love with a fantasy figure. Also there may be a dissipating love interest and your desire to escape daily stress with fantasy. You could purchase things that are just beyond your ability to pay for instance. And then there is an illusion attached to your choices. Also watch out for your purse and watch out for your heart. Someone may try to sweep you off your feet, but may not really be available –the related aspect is at 5:19 pm on Monday.
Coming into Tuesday we still have a Capricorn Moon. Capricorn Moon I always think of that song “look happy”. That’s kind of what a Capricorn Moon feels like to me. It presents the pressure to get your outer appearances going suitable for business presentations no matter how you feel. At 4:37 am Mercury reaches a 90° angle to Neptune on Tuesday. This is confusing. You can definitely be experiencing this the night before. On Monday night you will have enough mental fog that could cause you to sleep overtime on Tuesday. Plan a backup method for getting you started for the day. Blind spots and lies: those are the nature of Mercury square Neptune. You could be hoodwinked and if you are trying to hoodwink someone else you could be found out. There are very loose boundaries with that type of aspect and visionary impressions. Children could be the focus. Listen to what it is they are trying to tell you and also animals disappearing or getting off the leash, be careful about that. Be aware of hidden traffic traps. Even medications could be misread.
On the positive side there is a creative streak with all of this Venus, Mercury and Neptune energy. Telepathic information is also strong with all of this Neptune influence.
Tuesday November 1st at 6:07 pm a void of course Moon period ends. Now I didn’t mention when it starts. It starts on Tuesday at 5:00 pm when the Moon is sextile Venus. It’s a good one. Then the Moon enters the sign of Aquarius.
Once again there are a few some complications with the Aquarius Moon sign that begins at 6:07 pm and that will run for a couple of days. The reason it’s complicated is because both Venus and Mercury will change signs. So before they do that they call attention to themselves, as they are standing at that final degree of Scorpio. This attracts major events. I’ve seen train wrecks with Mercury at the final degree of a sign and where complications during travel cause pileups. Along with those things, add Venus to make it expensive. I would say take a lot of care with your activities. There is something else that pumps up that message, is the Sun parallel Mars which occurs at 11:37 pm. However if you are up late cramming to complete a task you can find the energy to do so. Otherwise turn in early on Tuesday evening and do most of your communications over the phone or online. You want to avoid any selections or any agreements with this particular Moon sign until these changes have finished. Before that you may find your main players leave your project before you get a chance to seal the deal.
For Wednesday November 2nd the Aquarius Moon shows Venus leaving the sign of Scorpio at 4:51 am she enters Sagittarius right until November 26th. Venus her principle is about sharing balance, joining experiences with others while Venus travels through Sagittarius. Your focus may be on relationships that offer you space and a sense of openness without that heavy expectation of commitment. Just enjoy, have fun with the lighter side of Venus. Friendship is going to be important as well with Venus in Sagittarius because of its aspect to Uranus coming up. But on Wednesday there is a 1st quarter Moon at 12:38 pm at nearly 10 degrees, of Aquarius. This is related to a new Moon that occurred last February 3rd. If you want to look back and see what it was think of a seed that was planted in February that now begins to take form. You can be actively involved in the process of getting on with what it is that you wanted to do back in February. So move forward after 12:54 pm when Mercury changes signs and enters Sagittarius. Now this is going to be a long stay, relatively speaking for Mercury. Mercury does not leave the sign of Sagittarius until January 8th. While Mercury is in the sign of Sagittarius it will turn retrograde on November 24th until December 13th. The next day after it turns retrograde there is a solar eclipse on November 25, 2011. So there is a major statement being made with Mercury at this position. It is a good time to listen, record and do whatever you can to keep your records in order because they may lead to something bigger.
There is an excellent aspect on Wednesday night for choosing a counselor. Uranus and palace Athena are 60 degrees apart. This is great for strategy it’s unique. You could hear about a medical discovery that is brilliant. Also you could create a plan of your own or find a counselor of your own for whatever your needs: whether they are financial or personal or instructors of any sort. It is a great night for Wednesday beginning in the afternoon to find that special person to help you with your goal.
On Thursday Venus and Mercury are both applying a trine to Uranus. Trines are beautiful. They are harmonious. They are 120 degrees apart. You may suddenly meet the love of your life. Mercury and Venus together particularly create introductions. I give Thursday a green light to move forward. Venus is trine at 3:54 am to Uranus then Mercury is trine to Uranus at 9:57 am. This is Thursday morning both of them make contact with Pallas Athena shortly there after making this an excellent day for creating some sort of an alliance with others signing, agreeing. There is a little snag at 8:05 pm when the Moon is opposite to Mars. If you were going to sign on something I would wait until after 8:05 pm if you can. Say lets touch back later in the evening and seal the deal as the Moon then leaves that aspect. Because Moon Mars tends to be aggressive, argumentative and cuts things off. Particularly Mars will cut things off. So if you do find the love of your life don’t push things. Just let it go with the flow. Let it have its natural development stage.
For Friday well we have this void of course Moon period that starts at 11:40 pm Thursday night until Friday morning at 3:17 am. Then the Moon enters the sign of Pisces. The Pisces Moon will be with us right through until Sunday. There are no major aspects. You could find an excellent piece of property or some way to invest in something at 9:34 am on Friday when Mercury and Vesta the investor align for you to find something very special. The final aspect of the Pisces Moon is very positive as it parallels Uranus on Saturday afternoon. So what this says is this is a unique Moon sign Friday and Saturday for you to find what you want and go ahead - move forward and make your choices. It’s a pretty good week. But I just don’t trust these extra good weeks especially where we have the lunar nodes setting off eclipse degrees.
