Weekly Weather November 30, 2015
“Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our week ahead features quite a few dramatic moments. Mars squares Pluto, perfecting on Sunday afternoon. We feel the build of tension and action energy up ALL WEEK as things go astray, anger erupts, actions are taken and war, blood and terror appears yet again in our unstable world.
Mars and Pluto are war energies when arguing in heavens and appearing in the world. So we can expect another terrorist attack at the end of the week. In our personal lives, we might find ourselves provoked by some one’s words or actions or behaviors. Take a brief moment to connect with gratitude…be grateful for the things that comes to you. Thank it for advancing you ~ hopefully in a good way ~ even if it irritates you, pisses you off or otherwise causes you to take action. In the moment, you might find you want to respond with a snarky remark. However, the point was MADE which is WHY you are annoyed. Own the annoyment. Give it some gratitude. Thank it for advancing you! I know hard to do in reality but at least give it a whirl?
Venus enters Scorpio on Friday night, right before the Mars/Pluto square takes place. She’s in Scorpio until December 30, adding an edge to all matters financial, romantic or Venus ruled. My friend Grace says Venus in Scorpio is actually a good thing because she knows what she wants. And Venus does!! She’s very, very clear. That said, she’s going to give Mars in Libra until the end of the month a definite edgy energy. They CAN swap ~ Venus in Libra and Mars in Scorpio ~ due to mutual reception but you have to consciously work that energy to get it to happen. Otherwise, they are just both operating in their detriment and can be very lower form. This is where consciousness is totally important in our choices, options, actions and in determining what we are up for.
Mercury is quite busy with quite a few illuminative aspects. He’s is moving fast, in truth telling Sagittarius answering to Virgo Jupiter so not only will you HEAR what you are doing wrong, you will have your own words quoted back at you. Take it all as the Universe encouraging you to walk your talk rather than talking and not doing any walking! Gotta take responsibility with that T-square! Mercury gets stimulated by Uranus bringing exciting news, squares Chiron offering wounding words, squares Jupiter bring excess of (hopefully) a good kind. If it shows as criticism, take it in the spirit of improvement and process it in a spirit of gratitude. Mercury’s trine to Eris means it MIGHT have been meant in a mean spirit but you didn’t bite so they are essentially unsatisfied because you DIDN’T fight with them!
Vesta is the planet of home and hearth ~ she rules where and how we live. She rules the home, the office, our car (some of us do live in our car) and our body. Her cycle is about 3 ½ years. She wraps up the cycle she began on February 25, 2012. Vesta enters Aries on December 3, 2015 and stays there until March 7, 2016. Vesta’s been bouncing back and forth between Pisces and Aries, all this year trying to wrap up things and begin new things, since she entered Pisces on March 28, 2015. When Vesta entered Pisces in March, you some how left a place that was your home and got ready to build a new nest. Vesta entered Aries on June 6 to start a new adventure. Not quite ready for prime time and the new adventure, she retrograded on August 12 in Aries and reentered Pisces on October 25. Vesta turned Direct on November 13, 2015. This week, Vesta again ends the cycle that she began on February 25, 2012. With Mars squaring Pluto and Venus in Scorpio, we can expect a pretty big and rather dramatic energy to appear in our lives as she answers to Mars in Libra.
The GOOD news about Vesta will be if the planets act consciously and take responsibility for their actions… the mutual reception is operating between Mars and Venus. If the planets act IRRESPONSIBLY, and don’t take responsibility for their actions, using the lower forms of the energy, Vesta enters Aries on fire and literally burns things to the ground. Be cautious around candles with this energy too! No unattended fires!
On our own interior level, we need to continue to look where the structures that we’ve built are being psychologically tested and challenged. We need to NOT react from fear but from a humanitarian, gentle and loving place. We need to be kind to ourselves and the others in our lives. We have to decide what we want to let in or keep out. What do we want to support or pull the support from? Continue to focus on what dream you want to put a foundation under.
Take time this week to focus on what YOU can do. Don’t be distracted by the crazy. What is YOUR dream? Don’t be distracted by the critical (although do listen to it )! What is YOUR direction? What is your Service? What brings you healthy Peace? In any transaction with others, attempt to figure out who is Jupiter in Virgo, Saturn in Sagittarius, and Neptune in Pisces. Switch roles if you don’t like the part you’ve been assigned!! Go to the Neptune in Pisces and find a place to curl up with your dreams if you are overwhelmed!
Void Moons in the Week Ahead: When the Moon is Void, it is wise to avoid making important decisions as they tend to be unrealistic, and subject to false starts, errors or unexpected hassles. Avoid being concerned with things beyond your spiritual center. It is time for subjective, spiritual and non-materialistic concerns. Kick back, let life flow, and center yourself. Connect into your essential oneness with the Universal Forces.

Moon’s day Monday November 30, 2015 Moon is in Leo and goes void Sextile Venus making the next two days of Leo moon very creative and productive. Dreams were intense with powerful information about patterns that seem to be recurring or problematic. Own your patterns and behaviors that are counter productive to change or getting what you want. Pallas in Capricorn asks you to take responsibility and do your Saturn! New or interesting tribes appear this morning or early afternoon. Yes, YOU ARE PART of that group! Like it? If not, make some changes! Tonight you are not in the mood to be subservient. Tribe, tribe, tribe ~ what is your tribe of CHOICE!
Mars’ day Tuesday December 1, 2015 Moon is in Leo. Moon goes void Sextile Venus at 10:10:22 pm EST making today another creative and productive day. Mercury’s trine to Uranus offers a creative approach or outlet and a “leap” out of bed energy. Later in the day, you hear harsh words that can be wounding. Watch the pattern of falling into or rebelling against being subservient! Time to change that! Pallas’ square to Black Moon Lillith asks you to take responsibility for YOUR part of the deal. Own it. Be responsible. Tonight Sun’s sextile to Ceres encourages you to examine the creative process involved in what you want to create. In my world, this was a meatloaf made without eggs as they were old so I included lots of spinach (never done that before) and onions~ so the creative energy can be quite literal. Or it can be focused on what you want to create going forward. Saturn and Neptune want you to put a price and value on what you want to create! Why, exactly, are you interested in creating THAT? Know the reasons and you are crystal clear in your intention. Manifestation is right around teh
Mercury’s Day Wednesday December 2, 2015 Moon is void in Leo. Moon Enters Virgo at 05:10:15 am EST and goes void joined to Jupiter. Dreams last night were very important and inspiring. Virgo Moon opposes Neptune and squares Saturn making today a day of sorrows or loss even as it is “productive” and gets things accomplished. Technical events go off without a flaw! At the same time, unexpected delays cause problems ~ move onto other tasks that can move along easier. It is a day of contrasts. We are in orb of the Mars Pluto square ~ the next 5 days we can anticipate wars or terror or gunshots. Great time to make detailed plans about changes around your house and body as you anticipate Vesta’s entrance into Aries. Sun’s quintile to the North Node invites you to meet a new aspect of your fate. Say yes to invitations even if you are not sure you want to do it. Mars has a harsh aspect to Astraea bringing in tough energy around healing. Go to the doctor!
Jupiter’s Day Thursday December 3, 2015 Moon is in Virgo and goes void joined to Jupiter making today a very productive day without the difficulties, losses and aggravations of yesterday. Mars still is building in his approach to Pluto so war talk is in the air. Use the energy to power through your to-do list and get massive amounts of things accomplished. Venus and Juno met up last night so dreams invoked and began a new year long story around partners. The closing quarter moon in Virgo takes us back to the earlier phases of September 5, 2013, June 5, 2014, and March 5, 2015. Now we wrap up that story of work and service to move into a new chapter. Venus’ harsh aspects with the Nodes means you are probably NOT going to get what you want, exactly, today but do put the order in. Ask for it anyway! The tribal energy is restless and looking for a new way to create a group that works for your future. Vesta enters Aries beginning a new cycle that ends on April 9, 2019 ~ time for a new chapter in the areas that are home and hearth ~ your home, office, car, and body. Juno has adjusting aspects with the Nodes of Destiny today so you can feel like partnerships and relationships are not meeting your needs. And they are not. They are who they are. Do you want to continue in relationship to them? Important questions to ask as Venus adjusts her expectation with Admetos ~ sometimes we have to work with their flaws. After all, we have flaws too. And other times, we are done with them. Both are possible today. The devil you know? The bird in hand worth more than in the bush? But if you don’t try…. Yes a tough decision indeed….
Venus’ Day Friday December 4, 2015 Moon in Virgo goes void joined to Jupiter at 00:00:10 am EST. Moon is void all day Friday. Moon Enters Libra at 05:34:40 pm EST and goes void Sextile Mercury. All day long, we have opportunities to work on wrapping up projects that need wrapping up as we use the void moon in Virgo. Great for filing, organizing, and the routine every day activities that repeat but need to be done. Dreams last night held promise and information. Pay attention to what you hear! Mercury’s square to Jupiter means it is the truth even if you don’t much like it! Venus’s square to Vulcanus can result in a minor (major) eruption of pentup energy! Don’t let your feelings swamp you! Distract yourself by doing something that inspires or awakens your senses and fills up your dreams. Venus enters Scorpio tonight until December 30 when she rolls into Sagittarius. Venus in Scorpio is a tough cookie! However, she is VERY clear about what she likes and doesn’t like. Take a receptive approach to situations at hand. Observe. Watch. Receive. Watch for a flash of jealousy from someone who feels like they have done THEIR job while you haven’t done your job. Or if you find yourself counting up all that and what you’ve done for them while they have been a bit of slaggard, stand down. This was your deal in the past. It doesn’t have to stay your deal in the future! Now you are in the position to negotiate a new deal. So negotiate away! Or at least build your case for WHY you should get a better deal than you got before. And if it is a bad deal or you don’t want it, do NOT feel you have to stand on ceremony and agree to it going forward. New day. New deal. Listen to the jealous words ~ understand their source. Things have definitely changed!
Saturn’s Day Saturday December 5, 2015 Moon is in Libra and goes void Sextile Mercury making new situations better and more balanced that they were previously. The Mars/Pluto square got meaner with the shift of Venus into Scorpio. Venus and Mars can operate at very base levels in the signs of their detriment ~ Scorpio and Libra respectively. They can also swap energies because they are in mutual reception to find themselves happy and operating in the signs they love ~Libra and Scorpio respectively. But you have to consciously MOVE the energy from difficult to charming in Venus’ case and polite and manner bound to fierce warrior in Mars case. Swap them every time either Mars or Venus feel frustrated. Think of your self as Bond, James (or Jane) Bond!! Bond swiftly switches from Martinis and glamour to guns and explosions as duty calls. Tuxedos and Pearls or Naplam and Annihilation. You get to do this ALL MONTH as Venus and Mars are in mutual reception until December 30. Today has lots of activity as the Moon in Libra rolls through the early degrees. She ends with a square to Pluto setting the stage for Sunday’s Mars Pluto square. The workers and servants are NOT in the mood to be subservient today~ be careful or the waiter will spit in your food! Venus’ aspect to Neptune invites you to bond and connect deeply. Sun’s semisquare to Juno stresses relationships while Mars sesquiquadrate to Admetos promises some kind of dramatic ending!
Sun’s Day Sunday December 6, 2015 Moon is in Libra and goes void Sextile Mercury at 09:03:53 pm EST. Sextile endings offer us a way to communicate what we need so today we are quite expressive. Of course, the other planets indicate we may not get what we want but we get what we need or deserve. Sun’s sextile to Mars causes you to leap out of bed with a happy energy. Partnerships adjust and move into a new version for the foreseeable future. It is all good. It frees you up to do what you need to do. There is a warning from your blind spot as Sun and Pluto semisextile each other ~ it’s a story that is very old and not that complicated. Be aware. Mars completes his square to Pluto today around 3:47 pm EST so watch very carefully what happens then as that story becomes very important in the months ahead. Mercury’s square to Hygeia encourages you to take a new approach to healing modalities and listen to the advice you are being given. Mercury’s union with Cupido encourages you to connect in a deeper way with your chosen tribe. Spend time on what you love today. Be inspired by what you learn and how you can use it. Venus’ quintile to Pluto suggests that the triangle or passion place holds all sorts of interesting and stimulating information!
