Astrology Forecast December 18 – 24, 2023
The moon glides through Pisces today and tomorrow, bringing a more spiritual tone to the beginning of our week. Those of us who are more sensitive will be more heart-centered and philosophical.
A Mercury in Capricorn trine to Jupiter in Taurus this morning will be very beneficial for business and career prospects. It is a great time to ask for that job offer or apply for that business loan. Just be sure to communicate clearly and effectively, as we are still in the tail end of Mercury Retrograde!
This evening a Pisces Moon trine with Venus in Scorpio will add some romantic spark to love and marriage. Even though it is a ‘school night’ at the beginning of the week, taking that special someone out for a nice dinner could be the start of an entirely new chapter in your relationship life.
Wednesday and Thursday will be busy as the Aries Moon reminds us that there is work to be done before the weekend begins. Fortunately, our energy levels will be elevated and we should easily get through whatever tasks come our way.
The Sun moves into Capricorn when a new zodiac season begins on Thursday, casting a more grounded and safety-conscious aura around us through the end of the year and into the New Year.
Astrology Forecast December 11 – 17, 2023
Mercury goes retrograde again on Wednesday, so if you haven’t already done so, today and tomorrow are your last chance to make sure all your holiday travel arrangements are in order and your digital devices are updated and backed up.
This retrograde will affect our travel, technology, and communications through the end of the year and will not resume forward motion until January 1, 2024, so be prepared for a potentially more challenging holiday season than usual.
A Sagittarius New Moon graces the skies tomorrow, marking the beginning of a two-week cycle for new ideas to emerge. So, while it may seem a little premature, this will actually be a great time to start making some New Year’s resolutions.
If resolutions are not your thing, then simply use this energy influence to release some things that may be holding you back from moving forward. This will ensure that you are super ready to embrace new beginnings and the manifestation of better results in 2024!
The most productive workdays this week will be Wednesday and Thursday as the Moon moves through busy Capricorn, so be sure to take care of anything pressing mid-week. Be careful with your communications, however, as the first signs of Mercury’s retrograde shenanigans may already be surfacing. Don’t text when you’re rushed or distracted, and double-check every email before it goes out.
Astrology Forecast December 4 – 10, 2023
The week begins on a mentally sharp and very energetic note, with several aspects highly conducive to both personal and professional achievement and success.
Today and tomorrow will be especially good for work and business as the Moon transits through meticulous Virgo, combined with Venus entering the same sign today.
A Virgo Moon trine to Mercury in Capricorn this morning will further enhance our workday with increased mental acuity, practical thinking and wise decision-making, followed by a trine to Jupiter in Taurus that will promote social success and open doors to financial opportunities.
This ambitious, driven energy continues through tomorrow afternoon with a Virgo Moon trine to Uranus in Taurus, known for heightened ambition, focus, determination, and persuasiveness. By day’s end tomorrow, the Venus in Scorpio trine to Saturn in Pisces will put the finishing touches on our two-day siege of mental precision, focus, and persistence.
Astrology Forecast November 27 – December 3, 2023
A Gemini Full Moon greets us first thing this morning. Socially oriented and chatty, this moon will make conversation and information gathering a theme for the next seven days.
Gemini is the sign of communication, so this is a good time to reach out to others and connect with others on a deeper level. Share your thoughts and ideas, and listen to what others have to say. You may be surprised at what you learn.
However, if you are not feeling your best right now, the dualistic energies of a Gemini Full Moon could also prove emotionally challenging. This may be exacerbated this morning by a Mercury in Sagittarius square to Neptune in Pisces, which has the potential to particularly affect those of us dealing with mental health issues.
Some of us may feel more restless, moody, and irritable than usual today, and family conflicts are also more likely. Avoid social confrontations and do not make any important business or life decisions today.
We may feel a little sensitive or nostalgic on Wednesday and Thursday as the Moon moves through emotional Cancer. Notice your feelings, write them down, and then release them in a ritual for personal healing and growth.
Astrology Forecast November 20 – 26, 2023
The highlight of this week will be the Sun’s entry into Sagittarius on Wednesday, moving us out of the sultry vibes of Scorpio and into a more light-hearted and fun atmosphere for the next four weeks. Sagittarius is also the sign of justice, fairness, and the law of the land, so moving with honor and intention will be emphasized.
However, we’ll be leaning toward a more spiritual, ethereal stance today and tomorrow as the Moon moves through Pisces. Go with the flow and trust your intuition when making important decisions during this time.
This morning’s Pisces Moon conjunction with Saturn may cause us to feel a little melancholy or even depressed. Guard against unwarranted feelings of dissatisfaction or loneliness, and try not to be stubborn or unnecessarily difficult, as this will only set the tone for a much more challenging week than would otherwise be the case.
Tomorrow afternoon a Pisces Moon square to Mercury in Sagittarius could cause some problems with communication and travel. Double-check your route before you hit the road and make sure you are sending that text or email to the right person! Some of us may also experience brain fog, lack of focus and negative thoughts.
The pace will pick up on Wednesday and we will fly through our commitments with ease until Friday under an assertive Aries Moon.
Astrology Forecast November 13 – 19, 2023
The week begins with a Scorpio New Moon this morning, which may cause some of us to let our emotions get the better of us. Usually a Scorpio New Moon inspires gentle harmony in our relationships, but unfortunately today is a perfect cosmic storm for potential upheaval and conflict in romantic relationships and marriages.
The reason today can become an emotional minefield is that a Scorpio Moon opposition to Uranus in Taurus, as well as a conjunction with Mars, can cause our heightened emotional sensitivity to turn into moodiness, irritability, and even outright aggression. By midday, emotional tensions may escalate further due to a Scorpio Sun opposition to Uranus in Taurus, and tonight’s Moon transit into Sagittarius may be the final fiery straw.
So, for some of us, this could become a very emotionally challenging day. Focus on being patient and tolerant, especially with your romantic partner. Stay calm, centered and grounded unless you want to start the week with a big fight or even a petty breakup drama.
Fortunately, our romantic lives will take a turn for the better tomorrow morning with a Sagittarius Moon conjunction with Mercury in Sagittarius and a sextile with Venus in Libra. These aspects promise good vibes for love and relationships, and we will be better at communicating our feelings and resolving disagreements.
Astrology Forecast November 6 – 12, 2023
Two planets change signs this week, shifting our focus and raising the vibrations for the next few weeks.
Venus moves into Libra, the sign it rules, on Wednesday, followed by Mercury’s move into Sagittarius on Friday. Both will spend the month of November inspiring loving and joyful energies.
Meanwhile, productivity will be the name of the game from this afternoon through Wednesday as the Moon moves through Virgo, calling for organization, analysis and integration. Detailed, focused work, sorting through information, and organizing plans are all themes to expect during this meticulous transit.
It may even be a good idea to work late today, for while things may be highly organized and productive at the office, the Virgo Moon’s opposition to Saturn in Pisces late this afternoon could cause some trouble at home, especially regarding disagreements about dependent children and family finances. Bite your tongue and keep the peace. Also, if an elderly parent or relative lives with you, they are likely to interfere, which will only add fuel to the fire.
The rest of the week will be more relaxed and personable as the Moon transits Libra Thursday through Friday. Combined with Venus entering Libra tomorrow, people will be more friendly, kind, and helpful than usual, so this will be a good time to ask a friend that big favor or your employer for that long-overdue raise.
The weekend unfolds under a mystical Scorpio Moon that will spark our imaginations and bring us into contact with interesting people, ideas and information to consider. Going with the flow will be a theme, as this moon is famous for changing our direction at a moment’s notice.
