More Of Today’s Forecast

While not without its dramas, this promises to be a fabulous day. The Sagittarius Sun is about to overtake Saturn, the Lord of Karma. Their conjunction heralds an annual “reality check,” a chance to evaluate one’s standing, goals and performance levels. Fortunately, the Sun is also forming harmonious angles with the Aries Moon, Uranus and Jupiter in Libra. Upon review, many folks will find they have plenty to feel grateful for and cheer about. In fact, today’s stars offer a celestial cornucopia of blessings. The thorniest tests stem from the Aries Moon triggering an unstable cardinal sign T-square. Good social skills, respect for others and cooperation help ease potential tensions. Moon in Aries v/c 8:06pm-12:00am, Sun sextile Jupiter.

The Moon enters impulsive Aries, the first sign of the Zodiac, a couple of hours before dawn. The sign change has an enlivening effect, made more so via a cheerful early morning lunar sextile to Venus. Like roosters, and many folks feel they have something joyful to crow about as they prepare for work and school. Expect the day to be long, productive and busy. At most, pick a few projects and focus on them. This evening’s lunar square with mental Mercury could be distracting. Unfinished undertakings can quickly multiply. Second thoughts may add to frustrations. Breathe! Clear priorities and a simple “taking care of business” approach reduce the number of distressing diversions. Moon Pisces v/c 12:00am-5:16am Moon enters Aries.

The early morning First Quarter Moon in Pisces contributes to a restless night. Roiled waters soon calm but the new day begins under a lunar square with dour Saturn, not the best omen for smooth or fast starts. Be patient and focus on essentials. By mid-morning the Moon is void of course. Many folks feel uninspired and performance may suffer. As is usually the case with the Moon void of course, things are said but follow-up action may be lacking. Take what you hear and see with a grain of salt. If possible, do not begin new projects. Instead, explore and follow the longings of your heart and imagination. Creative inspiration may strike at any moment. On a lighter note, Venus arrives in friendly Aquarius this morning, a plus for congenial holiday social events. First Quarter Moon in Pisces 4:03am, Moon in Pisces v/c 9:05am-12:00am, Venus enters Aquarius.

Aided by mystical Neptune, the waxing Pisces Moon boosts both emotional awareness and psychic abilities. The ghosts of lost loves and guardian spirits reach out to the living today. Responsive souls may feel as though they are being touched and guided by angels. Hopefully, spirits on either side of the veil can find peace and comfort. The late afternoon may see some folks overwhelmed by emotions. Keep a tissue or hanky close at hand. The same forces could occasion an epiphany or grand inspiration. Tonight’s sextile between Mars and Uranus is today’s wild card, a liberating “X factor” inviting adventurous types to act on impulse, serve the greater good and seek out like-minded souls. Heart centered soulfulness, mental acuity and progressive social leanings make this a day of amazing potential. Moon in Pisces, Mars sextile Uranus.

The stars are busy while most folks sleep but by daybreak the Aquarius Moon is sailing quietly, void of course. The resulting absence of energy can present challenges, especially for those with big ideas, grand plans and pressing needs. As is usually the case under a void of course Moon, promises may be made but not fulfilled. Scale back expectations and concentrate on improving existing plans and ties. Invite others to your brainstorming party. Clever solutions and stimulating ideas may surface but wait, this is not the time to implement them or begin a new project. More supportive energies arrive shortly before midnight when the Moon enters Pisces. The sign change is a Cosmic green light to proceed with greater assurance. Moon in Aquarius v/c 6:23am-11:31pm Moon enters Pisces.

A mellow day during the holiday season is indeed a gift from the heavens. Enjoy this one. The Aquarius Moon forms but one exact aspect, a soothing afternoon sextile with the Sagittarius Sun. These are the two most freedom-loving signs so don’t be surprised to feel the lure of the open road or some other far away, exotic destination. Harmony between the sexes may be notable but in truth each one of us is being granted an opportunity to be at peace within our selves. Share your contentment, faith and optimism with family, friends and strangers on the street. Sporting contests and games of chance provide great enjoyment. Hopefulness and good cheer increase as the evening hours grow late, another good period for stimulating conversations. Moon in Aquarius.

After overtaking Venus in the predawn darkness, the Capricorn Moon goes void of course. The sweet celestial pairing may facilitate the simple but delicious enjoyment of a warm bed and/or a stalwart companion. The early morning hours also feature Mars in a sextile to Saturn, excellent incentive for those more motivated souls who have chores, responsibilities and workouts to attend to. By mid-morning the sluggish mood caused by the void of course Moon is undeniable. Relax and go with the flow. Mid-afternoon sees the Moon arrive in Aquarius and the ambience changes. Getting out and socializing becomes more appealing. If you’ve got shopping to do, especially for anything durable or expensive, wait until the day’s second act. The same applies for decision-making. A spontaneous gathering can be excellent fun tonight. Moon in Capricorn v/c 5:16am-2:44pm Moon enters Aquarius.

Focus and intensity are ramped up this morning. Keep your sights on the big picture. Some alliances may shudder under the weight of petty jealousies or more serious power struggles.

Alternate points of view and pointed humor help defuse tensions at midday but indecision can soon become problematic. Mental Mercury enters Capricorn as the Sun sinks low in the sky.

Cue up the casual weekend vibe and party with friends tonight. Moon in Capricorn, Mercury enters Capricorn.

With the Moon, Pluto and Venus visiting industrious Capricorn, most folks are eager and willing to get down to business. A little extra time spent rounding up the team and reviewing the playbook is time well spent.

Students, story-tellers, athletes and people in sales, education and travel all benefit from the Jupiter/Mars trine. This is a good time to book holiday reservations. Optimism permeates the day and also raises the expectations of attendees at festive evening galas. Tonight’s performances are especially touching as the Moon aligns with mystical Neptune.

The Sun’s square to Neptune makes its presence felt later in the day. If you’re traveling check weather reports. Scrupulously try to anticipate and clear up any misunderstandings. Don’t assume others are doing well because they are absent. A timely message or phone call can quickly comfort worried hearts and set things right. Wits and senses are sharp tonight but the Moon is void of course before midnight. Be sure to get your beauty rest. Moon in Sagittarius v/c 11:08pm-12:00am, Sun square Neptune.

Bingo! The day begins with a freshening New Moon in Sagittarius but the celestial scene is complicated as we set intentions and begin another lunar cycle. The conjoined Sun and Moon are near Saturn and testing Neptune. Holiday spirits are raised high, and respect for traditions and mystical leanings are included in planning. Applying time-honored wisdom teachings to day-to-day affairs as well as seasonal festivities is a recurring theme in the coming weeks. The squares to Neptune may mean that some plans remain unfinished for now. Venus’ mid-afternoon square to Uranus is another wild card. Love can blow hot and cold. Progressive thinkers can make a definite impact on less open-minded colleagues. The strengths of good friendship are celebrated tonight. New Moon in Sagittarius 7:18am, Venus square Uranus.

We’re at the last day of the lunar cycle and the Scorpio Moon begins the day sailing void of course. It can be tough to get psyched up to face the new week. This current lunar phase is about completing things. Focus on projects already in progress and strictly avoid beginning anything new before tomorrow morning’s New Moon. During the mid-afternoon the Moon enters Sagittarius, kindling flickering flames of hope and anticipation. However, a lack of planetary aspects and the Balsamic Moon provide little get up and go. Don’t fight the Cosmic tide. Make sure you get good rest tonight. Moon in Scorpio v/c 12:00am-3:46pm Moon enters Sagittarius.

Don’t allow a morning frustration to spoil your day. A friendship may be feeling strained but there are other mates to play with. The waning Scorpio Moon is making nice with Pluto and Venus, still conjunct in Capricorn. This alignment could heal some wounded feelings or open the door to deeper ties with any number of new or longtime associates. On more practical levels, household chores, errands and shopping jaunts are likely to include supportive family members and helpful friends. There are good times afoot and bargains to be found. The Moon goes void of course during the late afternoon so plan on finishing you wheeling and dealing before then. Tonight is blissfully laid back, perfect for rest and relaxation. Moon in Scorpio v/c 4:48pm-12:00am.

During the wee hours of the morning the waning Moon enters Scorpio. Subconscious motives and powerful memories may permeate dreams as well as the waking hours today. In a curious contrast Mercury is trine Uranus. This aspect provides great foresight as intuitive hunches more easily intrude on thought processes. If your morning includes a wild hunch or great inspiration, by all means, follow it through. Uranus’ reputation as “the great awakener” is well deserved. Calming forces are in play tonight. A lunar trine to Neptune encourages lovers, artists and empaths. The night’s entertainment may easily include movies and other performance arts. More memories are likely to be triggered so keep a hanky handy. Moon in Libra v/c 12:00am-3:01am Moon enters Scorpio, Mercury trine Uranus.

In a world beset by endless changes and uncertainties, love has been known to cure illnesses, overcome fear and break down artificial and arbitrary boundaries. The early morning hours can see the power of love boggle minds thanks to Venus’ annual conjunction with Pluto. However, be wary of emphatic affection that comes with strings attached. The deepest and truest love is unconditional. A lunar opposition with Uranus requires patience and good improvisational skills. It may take a detour and extra time to get to work. The Libra Moon goes void of course by mid-morning, giving way to a mellower and far less stressful afternoon. Dream of the future but stick to basic chores and responsibilities. Plan on a low key evening. Moon in Libra v/c 8:52am-12:00am, Venus conjunct Pluto, Venus square Jupiter.

Happy Thanksgiving. Gratitude never goes out of fashion. There are legends of wise men and women attaining high states of consciousness simply by saying “Thank you” with every step. Attitude is a key factor on this day when philosophical Jupiter is in an exact square with Pluto. Open-mindedness is recommended, especially if a disagreement surfaces. Everyone has a right to their opinion. The Libra Moon works to preserve harmony as she overtakes gracious Jupiter. An afternoon lunar trine with Mars fosters friendship but other testing angles during the evening arouse sensitivities. A patronizing tone can be offensive to some. Don’t step on anyone’s toes tonight. Gratitude and cheerful demeanors win in the end. Moon in Libra, Jupiter square Pluto.

During the morning and into early afternoon a void of course Virgo Moon creates a listless atmosphere. Mercury’s midday conjunction with Saturn is a stern reminder, even if you face travel delays or other obstacles be practical and don’t worry about the things you cannot control. Stick to the matter at hand. Rather than just complaining or criticizing, translate ideas and principles into concrete plans and deeds. Study the rules. Rely on experienced advisors when facing challenging problems. We all can learn a lot from history and our elders. The Moon’s mid-afternoon arrival in Libra brings a singular elegance to life. Partners see eye to eye as evening nears. Dinnertime conversations are frank, instructive and enjoyable. Moon in Virgo v/c 12:00am-2:42pm Moon enters Libra.

Take advantage of the morning’s dynamic energy. Not every overture or plan will meet with instant success. The Virgo Moon is at odds with Mercury and Saturn so delays are to be expected. Progress is facilitated by concentrating on one or two projects and doggedly sticking with them. Fortunately, mental Mercury is also harmonizing with Jupiter, so a way around obstacles can be found. An experienced negotiator comes in handy and agreements are beneficial to all concerned parties. After lunch the Moon begins a lengthy void of course period. That’s why it is best to tackle thorny issues and demanding tasks before midday. Some personal TLC is a good choice during the second half of the day. Moon in Virgo v/c 12:41pm-12:00am, Mercury sextile Jupiter.

Nighttime restlessness could be due to the Last Quarter Leo Moon jousting with the Scorpio Sun. If you stay up late be tactful as feelings are easily bruised. By sunrise the Moon is in practical Virgo and offering sound support for taking care of business and other practical affairs. Try mastering a new skill or improving one you already have. The Sun slides into Sagittarius this afternoon and the traditional holiday party season is on! Both the Sun and Moon are testing Neptune so avoid getting carried away by unrealistic expectations, especially tonight when the Moon opposes Neptune. Kindly impulses and good intentions may require more time, money and energy than imagined. Poor planning can be expensive. Double-check facts and keep a close eye on key items. Loving vibes sweep in in time for midnight. An “unrealistic” plan may turn out to be not so far fetched after all. Last Quarter Moon in Leo 3:33am, Moon in Leo v/c 3:33am-4:34am Moon enters Virgo, Sun enters Sagittarius.

Night owls and other insomniacs are privy to topnotch ideas. Among the possibilities are wise decisions and excellent online travel deals. Common sense and fair play won’t let anyone down. Breakthrough realizations and spontaneous celebrations continue to inspire after sunrise and into the middle of the day. During the noon hour the Leo Moon forms a sensational trine with Uranus. Trust your gut hunches. It’s an auspicious time to invent, be spontaneous, try new things and mingle with friends. The pace slows during the late afternoon. The Sun is preparing to exit Scorpio so there could be some loose ends that require tying up. Get ready for the busy week ahead. Check travel plans, shopping lists and other arrangements.

The after lunch period sees the growing influence of a mellower sextile between Venus and Neptune. Hearts grow sentimental. Artistic souls are inspired by their Muses as creative juices flow.

Morning glitches, missed connections, overlooked details, snarled traffic and other delays can be vexing. If possible, make up for lost time by getting an earlier than usual start. Overcome communication breakdowns by checking and rechecking all schedules and agreements. Don’t assume or take anyone for granted. The afternoon hours see easier going as the Cancer Moon forms a perfect trine aspect with the Scorpio Sun. Getting on the same wavelength with partners and staying there is far more do-able. Emotional intelligence spikes. Listen to gut feelings and intuitive hunches. By evening the Moon is languishing void of course, ushering in a mellow mood. A quiet evening at home is called for. Moon in Cancer v/c 5:02pm-10:14pm Moon enters Leo, Mercury square Neptune.

Maternal instincts are strong this morning. Apply kindness and TLC liberally. Thoughtful support and/or simple concern are greatly appreciated. You don’t have to do much. Stay present and be a good listener. The afternoon hours may quickly become a whirlwind of activity. The Cancer Moon is part of a stressful but motivating cardinal sign Grand Cross. If you’re not ready to jump in and make things happen, at least don’t get in the way. Pro-active personalities are unstoppable, although some will run themselves ragged trying to do too many things at once. Others may succumb to overbearing, “my way or the highway” histrionics. One key to defusing tensions and being productive is welcoming input from partners. Emphasize cooperation tonight. Moon in Cancer.

We face another long void of course Moon period today, persisting from early morning until evening. With the disengaged Moon in fickle Gemini, expect a lot of noncommittal answers and bouts of indecision. Writers and thinkers who can abandon themselves in stream of consciousness explorations may find their essential creative voice. When it comes to business and practical matters, resist any temptation to force a solution, enter into a long term commitment or buy a big ticket item. A pending square aspect between Mercury and Neptune increases the risk of making a costly mistake. Tonight’s entry of the Moon into Cancer sounds a call for a return to the nest. Enjoy the simple pleasures and familiar comforts of home and family. Moon in Gemini v/c 5:57am-7:57pm Moon enters Cancer.
