Astrology Forecast November 8 – 14, 2021
With most planets in direct motion now, with the exception of Uranus and Neptune, there’s nothing standing in the way of us reaching for our goals and getting things done before the year’s end! We’ll be able to power through anything still waiting for our attention under today and tomorrow’s Capricorn Moon, as well as setting the wheels in motion for new goals.
The Capricorn Moon sextile with Mars in Scorpio will support us this morning with resourcefulness and increased willpower and courage to take a action and start the week on a high note.
This afternoon’s Capricorn Moon trine Uranus in Taurus will sharpen our determination and attention to detail, and boost our ability to be persuasive and inventive. It may be a productive afternoon for sales people and dealmakers!
Expect a change of heart, mind, or direction as the Moon dances through Aquarius on Wednesday and Thursday. No worries though, as the changes are just what we need to finalize and secure our dreams for the future.
A more spiritual tone overtakes us on Friday and Saturday, so let’s give ourselves permission to step back for a few days and let things settle in our minds and hearts. Regrouping is always important to be sure we’re operating at our best, so take advantage of this lull in the action to do just that.
Sunday’s Aries Moon will revive our energy, but the focus should be on home, family, and finances. Schedule in time to take care of the things that have been left on the back burner and restore some order to your personal world.
Astrology Forecast November 1 – 7, 2021
Today is going to be our most productive day of the week thanks to the Virgo Moon, so dive right in and get all your paperwork and important tasks out of the way. This may however prove more challenging to accomplish than usual, as the Virgo Moon opposing Neptune in Pisces this afternoon may cause us to be passive, lazy and inconsistent.
Tomorrow and Wednesday we’ll be prone to daydreaming under the Libra Moon, so it could be difficult to make any headway under this influence. Just remember, daydreams awaken the creative spirit within us, so give yourself permission to while away the hours doing whatever strikes your fancy!
A Scorpio New Moon will greet us on Thursday and as always will herald new beginnings and fresh starts. To add power to these new beginnings, Venus will move into the action sign of Capricorn, and Mercury will join the Sun in the manifesting sign of Scorpio on Friday. There’s a lot of passion and power in these aspects, so consider it a green light to move forward.
Venus entering Capricorn on Friday morning may however start the weekend off on a more serious, gloomy note, combined with the sentimental mood of a Scorpio Moon sextile Pluto in Capricorn, that may even have us yearning for an impromptu road-trip back to a our hometown or a favorite destination from the good old days.
The weekend is the perfect time to put some things into motion as the Moon travels through Sagittarius and surrounds us with creative energy. Mercury in Scorpio sextile Venus in Capricorn will further inspire our imagination and creative energies.
Astrology Forecast October 25 – 31, 2021
Happy Samhain and Halloween! This final week of October culminating in the sacred Celtic holiday should run quite smoothly. A Gemini Moon today, followed by tomorrow and Wednesday’s Cancer Moon, will put us in the mood to embrace the spiritual tones of the season.
Two favorable aspects join forces today to inspire personal power and achievement in our lives. The Gemini Moon trine Mars in Libra will boost our willpower and resourcefulness to get some practical things done, while the Gemini Moon trine Jupiter in Aquarius will have us feeling positive, optimistic and popular.
We often present different facades and keep up appearance for the different people in our lives and this is a great time to examine why we do this and how well it is working for us. There will be an energy in the air this week to express ourselves more authentically or to show more of our true nature to the world, especially as the Moon travels through Leo on Thursday and Friday.
There’s a tendency to overthink things as the Moon moves through Virgo on Saturday and Sunday, so try to avoid those mental gymnastics and be sure to watch for critical thinking or high idealism, as these two mental activities can only get you into hot water this weekend!
Mars will move into Scorpio on Saturday, where it will spend the next two months shifting our actions and movements in subtle spiritual ways. Though our journey may not make sense or could change direction at a moment’s notice before the end of the year, we can trust that spirit is in charge now and directing the traffic.
Astrology Forecast October 18 – 24, 2021
Mercury will resume forward motion today, but because it takes another week or two to get out of the retrograde shadow period, don’t assume we’re out of the woods yet! Continue to back up all your computer work and digital devices; take everything you hear with a grain of salt; tale extra care if you have to travel; and expect the unexpected until the retrograde after effects completely clears.
We have a lovely Aries Full Moon coming up on Wednesday, also called the Hunter’s Moon, which will generate a confidence in our skills and abilities, energetic vitality, mental sharpness, and sense of financial security. It is also a good time to be assertive and take on difficult challenges. Having what we need, as well as receiving something we want, are further positive aspects of this Moon. The restrictions we’ve faced over the past 18 months will now culminate in some solid solutions and relief.
Beware the Taurus Moon square Jupiter in Aquarius on Friday, because there is a risk of conflict and drama in romantic relationships. The Taurus Moon trine Pluto in Capricorn later in the day could also cause us to be emotionally selfish and restless, which could get us into trouble if we act impulsively on our sudden urge for adventure and excitement.
The Sun will enter karmic Scorpio between late Friday and early Saturday morning, which will shift our focus to the possibilities that await us. For the next four weeks, we will feel more in tune with spirit and our divine destiny, releasing the things that no longer serve us and embracing the true wonder of our lives. This is also a time when the veil between this world and the next is at its thinnest, and we can more easily receive messages and guidance from our loved ones on the other side.
With the Moon traveling through Gemini this weekend, it could be an ideal time to try your hand at a channeling session, or connect with someone who can translate important messages from the spirit world for you.
Astrology Forecast October 11 – 17, 2021
We initially could find ourselves more interested in socializing than working today, as the Moon moves through Sagittarius, but later in the day it transits into Capricorn to inspire us to be more productive for the next three days. A Capricorn Moon tends to make us feel more serious and determined and we tend to be more focused and able to concentrate.
Ideally, you may want to tackle as much as you can by Wednesday, as things will start to go somewhat sideways when the Moon moves into Aquarius on Thursday. We can pretty much write off the rest of the workweek after that, as constant interruptions, unexpected work, and a sudden shift in direction are all aspects of this Aquarian Moon. Mercury being in retrograde for another week will not make things any easier either!
Friday promises to be a happy and harmonious day with the Sun in Libra trine Moon in Aquarius. This aspect is also known for a sense of vitality, health and well-being, so make the most of it with an early morning walk or run, and a healthy breakfast. If you have the day off, you might even consider a visit to the spa.
Mercury in Libra sextile Venus in Sagittarius will continue the upbeat trend on Saturday evening with a cheerful lightheartedness and inspired creativity. A good time to get back to finishing that art or craft project you have been procrastinating. The weekend will generally prove much calmer when the Moon travels into Pisces and slows outer movement. Going within, self-care and ‘me time’ will be the theme.
Jupiter goes direct on Sunday, and as the third planet to resume forward motion this month, a sense of order and peace will move us through the rest of October. Remember that Jupiter is all about expansion, growth, and gifts, so practicing gratitude and asking Spirit for direction will go a long way once this planet starts moving forward again.
Astrology Forecast October 4 – 10, 2021
We could feel a bit skittish or anxious this week as four astrological events unfold.
Today’s Virgo Moon has us running on all cylinders, and we could find it difficult to keep up with all that’s on our plates! But beware the Moon’s opposition to Neptune in Pisces later today, because it has a tendency to deflate our drive and motivation, and can also cause some of us to be anxious and overly sensitive.
Luckily the Moon will move into Libra tomorrow to restore some balance, cheer us up and stimulate our desire for harmony. The Libra Moon may also have us feeling romantic today. It is a great time to meet that someone new to sweep you off your feet!
The Libra New Moon on Wednesday gives us the opportunity for a fresh start or a ‘do-over’ if something we’re working on has hit a block. But be patient, as moodiness, restlessness and irritability may be a possibility today for those of us with a fragile temperament.
Pluto will also turn direct on Wednesday, after five months of backward motion. Pluto generates karmic shifts and is more generational than personal, so we may not even notice its influence for a month or more, but it promises to reverse and right some global problems we’ve been dealing with.
Venus will move into the light-hearted and fun-loving sign of Sagittarius on Thursday, bringing six weeks of joyful movement as we move closer to the holiday season next month. Speaking of Sagittarius, the Moon will travel through this fair-minded sign over the weekend, lightening the mood considerably. Saturn will turn direct on Sunday, calling for a restructuring of boundaries and schedules as we move into a cycle of busyness and high activity for the remainder of the year.
Astrology Forecast September 27 – October 3, 2021
Today may be the beginning of a somewhat ‘bumpy ride’ for next three to four weeks. With Mercury going retrograde today we also may not get much done this week. If you find yourself stalled on a project, your best bet is to swicth and do something else for a while, until the energy shifts.
Mercury retrograde is associated with confusion, communication issues, delays, technology malfunctions, and lots of frustration. So, until late October we can expect undelivered emails, misunderstandings on social media, computer issues – and if you have travel plans make sure you have good insurance! The good news is that our intuition is increased during this time, so put it to good use. It is also an excellent time to reflect on the past and release what no longer serves us.
Today’s Gemini Moon could cause additional miscommunication under the retrograde influence, so document everything, pay attention, keep your opinions to yourself and stay out of the confusion that abounds today.
Tomorrow through Thursday we’ll glide along more easily under a Cancer Moon, but this could also give us the “I don’t want to” blues, as we won’t feel like doing much of anything.Don’t worry if you feel the urge to procrastinate, as you’ll be able to pick up the pace again on Friday when the Moon moves into energizing Leo.
Thursday morning’s Cancer Moon trine Venus in Scorpio will be a great opportunity to surprise your partner with a surprise gift or a romantic breakfast in bed. This trine is all about courtesy, cheerful moods, love, and harmony, without a very low risk of arguments and conflicts.
Save any paperwork or detailed activities for Sunday, as the Moon will move into Virgo and heighten our attention span and recall, making it easier to access the information or ideas we’re in search of.
