Tip of the Week:
A Lunar Eclipse on November 19 is among the main headlines now. Eclipse season is a bi-annual event and it does require the correct interpretation lens to truly understand the personal implications. The general rule of thumb in the difference between Solar and Lunar Eclipses is that Solar Eclipses are more external and eventful and Lunar Eclipses are more internal and emotional. Further Solar Eclipses bring about unexpected events whereas Lunar Eclipses produce events based on our own thoughts and feelings stemming from the influence that the eclipse may have on us. The other factor is where the eclipses occur in your Natal Chart.
The Sun enters Sagittarius on November 21 here in North America. Even though Mercury will enter Sagittarius on November 24, the ingress chart of the Sun into Sagittarius indicates a lingering influence for the entire transit or until Winter Solstice. Yes, the Natural New Year is just a month away and a Solar Eclipse will occur at the midpoint.
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
The deep dive into Scorpio’s lair will continue for you even after the Sun enters Sagittarius. Yet, the fiery impulse of the majestic centaur, Chiron, which depicts the constellation of Sagittarius, will indeed have an impact. It will likely manifest as inspired visions of truth, freedom and democracy especially to the extent that your ambitions and passions are blocked.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
By now, many of the changes destined to occur on relationship fronts will have occurred. However, there remain some final and decisive details that will linger through to the very end of the year. These share a close association with your public and professional life. Revolutionary change has and continues to define this process.
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
One way or another, you have probably been working hard over the past while. Contemplating new perceptions, philosophies and beliefs has and continues to guide your efforts. Circumstances are challenging you to give more than you would usually or want to now. So, you are left to balance the inward pull to retreat with the outward call of duty.
Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
Scorpio time marks a creative cycle for you. This can occur at many levels and may even manifest as a change of design of your very lifestyle. This is especially likely this year. Returns for past choices and actions are featured in this plot, so hopefully yours were healthy, positive and integral. In any case, a metamorphic process continues.
Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
The Scorpio factor has been strong close to home over the past few weeks and this trend will continue. You continue to want answers and are digging to get them. Circumstances are also pushing you to give more and possibly much more than your usual limit. This includes paying closer attention to the details. Pace yourself and rest deeply when you can.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
Deepening and sharpening your perceptual and critical analysis skills has been a strong theme over the past few weeks. This trend will continue yet will shift towards a focus to complete projects started earlier. Overcoming the inertia of worry or fears of rejection may be at issue. Your willingness to learn new methods, modules and techniques is extra important.
Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
While your ambitions remain strong, your actual drive is another matter. A slow but sure pace remains likely. Long-term investments are probably your best bet. These may include creating a more beautiful living environment where the returns are more qualitative than quantitative. But, be sure to measure twice before you cut and commit.
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
A steady momentum has been building and has entered its next effect stage. Expansion and increase are key themes. Yet, if you have not yet confronted certain fears you may feel delayed, blocked and frustrated. Fortunately, Jupiter is positioned to increase your confidence levels by way of unexpected abundance coming into your life over the past several months.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
The Sun in your sign will synchronize with an adventurous spirit to enter into and explore new territory. This may occur intellectually as well as or instead of as literal travel. Either way, you will come away with many new perspectives which may change some of your existing beliefs quite radically. Enjoy variety yet avoid scattering.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Themes of friendship, alliances and power in numbers continue this week. Yet, the Sun in Sagittarius indicates a time for turning within for you. Whether as rest and recuperation, or as an escape into dreams, retreat and meditation and/or contemplation…, you are wise to reconnect with yourself and source. Yet, you may also use it to get stuff done in private.
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
Public and/or professional ambitions continue to spur you on. This week, the emphasis will shift. An expansive time in the friend and network department is featured. This will prove to be a desired time to engage and collaborate. As you reach without, it may also feel necessary to balance the scales by reaching within and doing extra spiritual work.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
Mars in Scorpio will perpetuate a push and drive both practically and spiritually. The Sun in Sagittarius also emphasizes your public and professional life and this will continue through December. An emphasis on money and finances which began in early November will remain through to March and could well prove to be a time of abundance and prosperity.
