The Moon slides into a tense, potentially explosive T-square, testing Pluto and Uranus while orbiting past Mars. A partner could become irritable, unstable, impatient or argumentative.

Fasten your seat belt and be ready for a long, slow-moving and at times tedious workday ride. The day's bright spot, a hopeful early morning angle between mental Mercury and Jupiter can inspire but also promise far more than it is likely to deliver. Interesting ideas and foreign or multi-cultural solutions are quite worthy of exploration. For most of the day the Virgo Moon's void of course status diminishes focus and conviction. Many plans will be abandoned as new realities emerge and priorities shift in the next few days. Busy yourself with keeping things in order and cleaning the slate in anticipation of a busy and enjoyable weekend. Moods are more energized as the Moon arrives in Libra shortly after sunset. Moon in Virgo v/c 12:00AM-5:34PM Moon enters Libra, Mercury square Jupiter, Venus enters Scorpio.

Fortunately, a lunar trine to Pluto dominates the second half of the morning. Clever thinking and astute assessments of people and situations equip many people with the knowledge needed to overcome challenges. An impression or gut feeling could be one key to overcoming a long time obstacle. Take things one step at a time after noon. As the Moon approaches expansive Jupiter spirits are lifted but a testing angle to mental Mercury could present communication problems or a lapse in judgment. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is just wishful thinking. Moon in Virgo, Last Quarter Moon in Virgo 2:40AM, Moon in Virgo v/c 11:59PM-12:00AM.

There's no dilly-dallying with the Moon in Virgo. While much of the day is productive, overlooked details may delay or possibly derail afternoon efforts. By then the Moon is opposing Neptune and activating the ongoing Saturn/Neptune square. Throw in the stressful energies of the imminent Last Quarter Moon and a number of evening challenges are more than likely. If work feels confining or consuming, take regular breaks. Stretch, go for a walk, take some breaths and relax your shoulders. While on the job, double check orders, instructions, measurements and all relevant documents. Be alert to other peoples' confusion, too. Extra care and caution are the best ways to counter potential Neptunian difficulties. Moon in Leo v/c 12:00AM-5:09AM Moon enters Virgo.

Having wrestled with questions about the murky past for several days, the stars now shine a light, helping to divine the future. A fire sign Grand Trine finds the Leo Moon and mental Mercury in alignment with visionary Uranus. The quicksilver configuration may overload some nervous systems with giddy excitement, or too much information. Dreams can be prescient and early morning hunches zeroed in, resonant with prophecy. An offhand remark could be precocious. A lively, socially comfortable, friendly atmosphere prevails into nighttime. Cultivate professional as well as personal connections. Conveniently, the Leo Moon goes void of course a couple of hours before midnight, ushering in a more restful, laid back dreamtime period. Moon in Leo v/c 10:09PM-12:00AM, Mercury trine Uranus.

Put smartphones and computers to good use and vigorously pursue goals with like-minded friends and allies. Take note of tonight's many bright ideas for future reference. Moon in Leo.

The lazy atmosphere is perfect for chilling out at home but do your homework when it comes to making important commitments. Hold on to your money. Use the internet and your network of friends to make inquiries, acquire information and evaluate reviews. This evening the Moon reaches Leo, re-energizing spirits and fostering playful moods. Check in with your inner child before going to sleep. Moon in Cancer v/c 7:46AM-7:47PM Moon enters Leo, Sun square Neptune, Sun conjunct Saturn.

Today's Cancer Moon activates nesting instincts and protective territorial urges. Loyalty to family, friends and allies is notable. However, ties could be severely strained at times as the Moon is part of a highly challenging Grand Square, opposite Pluto and at odds with Uranus and Mars. Lingering flashpoint issues may surface. Whenever possible, avoid confrontations. Competitions are pointless. No matter how discordant, the powerful energies can be put to good use. Dedicate your time and energy to healing relationships, growing new ties and cooperating with others. Evening plans are likely to change or fall through but alternate choices turn out to be thoroughly enjoyable. Moon in Cancer.

The astrological indicators are eerily quiet. The Gemini Moon starts the day void of course. Many folks feel physically sluggish after over-indulging yesterday. Minds vacillate. Black Friday shoppers take note, even sale items can disappoint. The auspices for making successful purchases take a positive turn when the Moon enters Cancer during the mid-afternoon. Allow your imagination to guide you. Take time to visit a cherished sentimental spot or pursue a favorite passion. Family members and close friends are sources of inspiration. Tender moments are shared. Movies and other art forms are hugely satisfying tonight. Moon in Gemini v/c 12:00AM-2:27PM Moon enters Cancer.

Happy Thanksgiving! There's much to appreciate on this day of gatherings and gratitude. Saturn is forming an exact square with Neptune early this morning. The aspect can be a source of illogical confusion, discontent and/or an agent of spiritual realization. If you're busy in the kitchen make sure you don't forget a key ingredient or accidentally use the wrong one. If the loss of a loved one is troubling your heart, take comfort in the memories you shared. The spirits of protective ancestors may draw close as the planets of karma and mystery tangle. A string of uplifting lunar aspects enriches the late afternoon and evening atmosphere. With the Moon in Gemini, moods are gregarious, conversations scintillate and appetites are hearty. The Moon begins a void of course period late tonight, in time to digest and relax before sleeping. Moon in Gemini v/c 10:35PM-12:00AM, Saturn square Neptune.

This year's pre-Thanksgiving travel crush is likely to be epic. The astrological indicators are go, go, go, with some reservations. During the morning mental Mercury, one of the key travel planets, is in an enlivening sextile with fiery Mars. Excitement is in the air. Minds work swiftly and decisively. Hearts feel energized. However, be careful not to forget anything or leave anyone behind as the Moon is flying void of course. Minutes after noon Luna reaches Gemini where she is full at 5:44PM Eastern Time. If you are on the road expect delays. The Full Moon is part of a tricky configuration. Extra care and attention to road signs and messages, as well as common sense safety precautions are recommended. Rain, fog and cold weather and careless mistakes can cause slowdowns tonight. Moon in Taurus v/c 12:00AM-12:15PM Moon enters Gemini, Full Moon in Gemini 5:44PM, Mercury square Neptune, Mercury sextile Mars.

With Full Moon fever quickly rising, today's Taurus Moon serves as a calming influence. In fact, the earthy Moon is one corner of a fabulously grounding grand trine configuration, along with Jupiter and Pluto. This alignment is a positive omen for all material plane dealings as well as psychological healing and spiritual evolution. Mental Mercury makes a conjunction with dour Saturn tonight, a stern reminder that hard work, longtime traditions and enduring loyalties command an honored place of respect.

Keep a watchful eye on weather reports, travel delays and valuable personal items. Moon in Taurus v/c 8:26PM-12:00AM, Mars sextile Saturn, Mercury conjunct Saturn.

The waxing Moon is void of course until just before midday. As a result, the morning hours can seem to drag. Noon brings a resurgence. The Moon settles into Taurus and true to the sign's symbol, the Bull, things seem to once again be pulled or pushed along. Some folks may require extra prodding. Progress may not immediately appear to be remarkable, but it will be steady. Venus is also active, making a late afternoon opposition to Uranus. Impulse shoppers are on the loose. Love can be an unpredictable game. Plans may change. Some partnerships face serious crises, others seem to be reborn. A pending angle between Mars and Saturn helps stabilize many alliances. Carefully consider long range goals and security needs before making any rash decisions. Moon in Aries v/c 12:00AM-11:26AM Moon enters Taurus, Venus opposite Uranus.

This morning the Aries Moon takes a dizzying course reminiscent of a bouncing polished steel pin ball, testing Pluto and Venus and then finally finding herself in the pocket, cozied up with Uranus. The early afternoon's lunar conjunction with the quirky planet of surprises also marks the start of a lengthy void of course Moon period. There is a pressing need to know more about others and share secret passions. Some discoveries feel quite revelatory and gratifying, bringing partners closer together. Truth can indeed set people free today. This theme is reinforced by the Sun's arrival in Sagittarius, the cheerfully outspoken sign of knowledge and honesty. Moon in Aries v/c 2:16PM-12:00AM, Sun enters Sagittarius.

There's an easy-going vibe going this morning. A couple of hours before midday the void of course Moon smoothly makes the jump from Pisces into Aries, while harmonizing with the Sun and Mercury. The late morning and noon hour are a perfect juncture for wide-ranging discussions as well as gadding about the neighborhood. An agreeable, "life is good" atmosphere carries both sensitive souls and brave, pioneering spirits deftly into the mid-afternoon hours. As evening nears the Moon is at odds with Mars. Nerves are on edge and some tongues are likely to grow sharp. Tact and patience are called for. Later, a lunar trine to Saturn helps to keep disagreements from becoming full blown arguments. Let cooler, more experienced heads prevail tonight. Moon in Pisces v/c 8:23AM-10:12AM Moon enters Aries.

Intentions are clear early this morning. However, the midday period requires paying extra close attention. Mental Mercury changes signs during the afternoon, leaving Scorpio and arriving in Sagittarius. For some, the Winged Messenger's sign change can be disorienting, feeling for a few hours similar to a retrograde. Be sure to hold your course. The Pisces Moon's opposition with Jupiter helps out, bestowing cheerful attitudes as well as big expectations at the close of working hours. Tonight finds Venus testing Pluto. Their square aspect can trigger bouts of jealousy and other controlling behaviors. Be nice or you could soon be saying goodbye to a love. Moon in Pisces, Mercury enters Sagittarius, Venus square Pluto.

Sleep could be fitful as overhead the Aquarius Moon clashes with the Scorpio Sun and Mercury. Shortly after sunrise the Moon quietly slips into sensitive Pisces. Here she activates the challenging square between Neptune and Saturn. Confidence may be shaken. Instructions can seem confusing, preparation inadequate and goals unreachable. Fine tune your strategies. Wholesale revisions are probably not necessary. Strive for simplicity and clear communications. Avoid distractions. Keep essential needs and desired results clear in your mind. The evening hours see the Moon conjunct Neptune. Magic returns. Let your hair down, put your feet up and enjoy a convenient escape from pressing reality. Moon in Aquarius, First Quarter Moon in Aquarius 1:27AM, Moon in Aquarius v/c 3:19AM-7:21AM Moon enters Pisces.

In the far off outer reaches of our solar system, Neptune resumes forward motion today after having been retrograde since last June. The planet of mystery, magic, confusion and unconditional love is in a precarious position, tested by stern Saturn. Stay alert. Gossip, rumors, distortions and outright lies can easily mislead. Luckily, the Aquarius Moon's morning sextile with Uranus conveys a different kind of knowing, born out of pure intuition. It may be time to gather friends and move together to manifest a shared dream. As night deepens the approaching First Quarter Moon can raise tensions. Freedom loving eccentrics, inventors and rebels will have to confront financial and social realities. Moon in Aquarius, Neptune Direct.

We're off on a brisk adventure. The Aquarius Moon forms an enlivening early morning trine to Mars and closes out the day with another trine, this one to loving Venus. In between, Mercury and the Sun join forces in Scorpio to stimulate mental and intuitive faculties. Powers of observation, memory and intuition are acute. Put them to good use making the world function more efficiently. Because Aquarius is connected with the future, and the Moon is also favorably disposed towards Saturn, the lessons of the past can easily be applied to current and as well as anticipated challenges. After a notably productive day, celebrate your good fortune with favorite companions tonight when, courtesy of Venus, moods are warm and cheerful. Moon in Capricorn v/c 12:00AM-2:24AM Moon enters Aquarius, Sun conjunct Mercury.

A lunar square with Uranus gives some folks a restless night but as dawn breaks calming trends arrive. The ambitious Capricorn Moon finds harmony with auspicious Jupiter. Spirits feel renewed and eager to meet the new day. Positives are emphasized. Additional planetary influences foster an excellent climate for tackling projects and negotiating with demanding partners. These productive trends last into the late afternoon when a void of course Moon period begins. Concentrate on completing the bulk of your work before the Cosmos shifts gears. The latter part of the day moves more slowly and feels less motivated, which can be good for taking time to regroup, rest and relax. The now waxing Moon guarantees that there'll be chances to make up for any lost time during the next ten days. Moon in Capricorn v/c 3:53PM-12:00AM.

Waking up to the Capricorn Moon's sextile with Neptune can make the world seem a wondrous place, worthy of deep gratitude as much as amazement. The impulse to share is also strong this morning. Those who sleep late may miss this magical interlude yet enjoy fabulous dreams. After noon the Moon is headed into a conjunction with Pluto, the tiny planet of great extremes. Whether pleasant or uncomfortable, happy or sad, feelings are more intense later in the day. Emotional responses and obsessive thoughts are unlikely to be lukewarm. Fight the good fight. Take the high road. Maintain your inner poise and equilibrium tonight, a fine time to put spiritual practices and psychological understanding to good use. Moon in Capricorn.

We're in for a low-key fall morning as the Sagittarius Moon travels void of course. Actually, the lazy, void of course period extends all the way into evening, when the Moon at last enters industrious Capricorn. As loyal readers know, the void of course Moon lends itself to tackling creative projects, personal introspection and other inner growth work. It is less suited for making expensive purchases and important decisions. Keep your options open today, and go with the flow. Even after the Moon reaches the Sign of the Goat the energetic flow is uneven. A lunar square with Mars in Libra can set couples to squabbling. Don't rush into anything today, including passing judgment. Proceed with a mind ready for learning and stay arm in arm with partners. Moon in Sagittarius v/c 12:00AM-7:21PM Moon enters Capricorn.

While I question the Universe's awareness of TGIF sentiments, the stars are certainly serving up a healthy dose of it today. A midday sextile between Venus and Saturn highlights the many joys of doing good work but shortly afterwards, during the early afternoon, Mercury's sextile to Jupiter ushers in a different mood. Those folks still focused on tending to business will address responsibilities with confidence and zeal but those eyeing the weekend will easily find their attention drawn elsewhere. The "grass is greener" is one of Jupiter's unending temptations, and with a lunar sextile to freedom-loving Uranus under way, it may be hard to contain wanderlust. The evening hours are great for mingling but watch out for a tendency to over-indulge. Moon in Sagittarius v/c 10:18PM-12:00AM, Venus sextile Saturn, Mercury sextile Jupiter.
