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.
Astrology Forecast October 30 – November 5, 2023
Things will be humming along this week, but don’t expect to get much done.
The Moon is in Gemini for the first three days of the week, inspiring social interactions and brainstorming sessions. The Taurus Moon trine to Pluto in Capricorn this morning will make matters worse by awakening our emotions and evoking the desire for new adventures or planning holidays to exotic destinations.
So, until the middle of the week there may be a lot of idle talk and daydreaming, but very little action. But all is not lost. Some of the ideas and plans we share with others contain seeds of truth that will surely grow into real manifestations!
We may be tempted to just stay in bed on Thursday and Friday as the Cancer Moon combines with the Scorpio Sun to call us inward. We may tend to be in a deep, philosophical mood or experience a sudden spiritual growth spurt. Temporarily becoming a couch potato, however, is a necessary pause to integrate all that has happened over the past few weeks.
Over the weekend things will start to pick up again as the Moon dances into Leo while Saturn goes direct after four months in retrograde. The mental fog of the week will begin to lift, making this a great time to set our goals and intentions for the rest of the year.
Astrology Forecast October 23 – 29, 2023
The Sun moves into Scorpio today, setting a more spiritual and karmic tone for the next four weeks. This is one of three times a year when the veil between worlds is at its thinnest, making it easier to delve into our souls, as well as communicate with spirit on the other side.
The Aquarius Moon square to Uranus in Taurus this afternoon may bring out the worst in some people for a few hours, so be prepared for mood swings, erratic or hyperactive behavior, as well as stubbornness and irritability. Stay in your zen, do not overreact, and avoid making hasty decisions.
The Pisces Moon tomorrow and Wednesday will add to the magical tone of this week, making inner and soulful movement a priority over outer activity.
We’ll feel re-energized Thursday and Friday under the Aries Moon, making these the most productive days of the week.
A Taurus Full Moon Lunar Eclipse takes center stage on Saturday, urging us to let go of the past and prepare to take on a more fluid and flexible tone for the next two weeks. It also marks the second eclipse of the month and the promise that we will have a different focus and perception of our lives for the next six months.
Sunday’s Taurus Moon will inspire us to acknowledge the beauty that surrounds us, calling for a day of grace and gratitude.
Astrology Forecast October 2 – 8, 2023
Astrologically, this is a good week to pause, reflect and assess where your life may be out of balance or how you can rekindle your optimism and refocus your goals for the future.
Today’s Taurus Moon should make this the most productive day of the week, inspiring us to catch up on projects or commitments that may have fallen by the wayside in September. However, we may not be able to benefit from this inspiring energy due to a Mercury in Virgo opposition to Neptune in Pisces combined with a Taurus Moon conjunction with Uranus around midday.
Make an effort to stay focused and motivated as we tend to be impractical, lack inner balance and may be prone to daydreaming during these transits. Stay centred and use your imagination to be constructive and inventive.
You should regain mental clarity and sound judgement by the time the Taurus Moon trines Mercury in Virgo this evening.
Relationships take centre stage under the Gemini Moon tomorrow and Wednesday, punctuated by Mercury’s move into Libra for a three-week visit. Communication will flourish and new ideas and plans are sure to come to life. Relationships can also be recalibrated under this aspect, and if you are single and looking, this is the perfect time to cement a new partnership or seek a new connection of the heart.
Thursday morning will be a good time for business meetings, sales presentations or budget negotiations as the Cancer Moon trines Saturn in Pisces. However, a Cancer Moon square to Mercury in Libra may cause some delays in communication and travel, so take precautions in advance. Charge your phone and check the signal, set up equipment at the meeting venue in advance, test video conferencing technology, plan your route if you need to travel and leave earlier than usual.
The weekend will be wonderful for quality ‘me time’ at home. Redecorate your home, try out that new bread recipe, or just catch up on the latest season of your favorite TV show. The Moon enters Leo on Sunday, while Venus moves into disciplined Virgo, providing a great opportunity to reorganize your closet or clean out the garage.
Astrology Forecast September 25 – October 1, 2023
The astrological star of the show this week is Friday’s Aries Full Moon, also known as a Harvest Moon. Because Full Moons symbolize a time of release, this is the perfect opportunity to release whatever no longer serves you once and for all. An Aries Full Moon is also about taking back your power, embracing your courage and taking action to reach your goals.
The week starts out a bit frenetic today and tomorrow under an Aquarius Moon. We may have many new ideas, innovative plans, and identify possibilities we’ll want to explore. Make note of what you discover, but refrain from taking any real action until you’ve had time to network with others to get more facts and information. The Pisces Moon on Wednesday and Thursday will fortunately bring us spiritual and intuitive insight to help move us forward on some of these new plans and ideas.
The Mercury in Virgo trine with Jupiter in Taurus this afternoon is also an excellent time to do some research. And if you are currently thinking of furthering your education or going back to school, this trine’s energy offers a perfect opportunity to look into courses, classes or schools, as you are likely to find useful information without much effort. If you have already applied for enrolment in a course or school, you may also get good news or positive feedback about that.
Practice extra caution under Friday’s Aries Full Moon, as well as Saturday’s Aries Moon, as both have a way of urging us to look before we leap. Caution on the road will especially be called for, as everyone may be in more a hurry to get where they think they are going, and they might not slow down if you get in their way!
Take a breather under Sunday’s Taurus Moon and try be more like Ferdinand the Bull in the popular children’s book. Ferdinand would rather smell flowers than fight in bullfights. Make Sunday your lazy, easy-going day to truly stop and smell the roses for a change. Don’t worry about those duties and chores, they’ll still be there waiting for you next week.
Astrology Forecast September 4 – 10, 2023
Jupiter goes retrograde today in Taurus where it will be the rest of the year. Jupiter is the planet of growth, expansion and risk-taking. It also rules higher truth, law, philosophy, and spiritual wisdom.
When Jupiter goes retrograde, these influences are turned inward and we may find ourselves reflecting more on our personal and spiritual growth, and where we may lack the courage and determination to make necessary changes in our lives.
In Taurus, Jupiter’s retrograde energy will steer our self-reflection over the next few months towards new opportunities for growth and future possibilities for expansion; recognizing where we may have been lazy in our past efforts; the need to improve our financial situation by saving and investing for the future; evaluating where our lives may currently lack security and stability; and revising our goals and plans to include more effort and risk-taking in the future.
A Taurus Moon today and tomorrow makes these first two days the most productive of the week. Once the Moon moves into Gemini on Wednesday, social interaction will take center stage as we enjoy being around people and making new friends.
Our attention will shift to learning new things and sharing our thoughts and ideas with others. This is also a great time to network and build business relationships. But try not to be restless and stay focused to make the most of this transit.
Things will ease up on Friday and Saturday under a nurturing Cancer Moon that turns our attention to the comforts of home and family. If you are empathic or highly sensitive, you may feel a strong desire to care for others over the weekend. It is good to be kind and nurturing, but be careful not to do so at the expense of your own self-care. In order to truly be there for others, we must also care for ourselves.
Fortunately, there will be a great opportunity for some quality ‘me time’ on Sunday, when the Moon moves into Leo, giving you a chance to nurture yourself and indulge in your favorite battery recharging activities.
Astrology Forecast August 7 – 13, 2023
This week promises to be harmonious and productive as cosmic enegies unfold in a steady and uplifting manner. All in all this week will be the calmest we’ve experienced in a while, with more of the same next week.
The Moon will glide through Taurus today and tomorrow, making the first two days the most productive of the week. Grounded, energetic, and optimistic, we will get the week off to a good start under this influence. A Taurus Moon sextile with Saturn in Pisces today, and a trine with Mars in Virgo tomorrow, will further boost our organizational skills and resourcefulness. It will inspire us to take responsibility and pursue our goals with determination and practical action.
Three days of social interaction and informative conversations follow under the Gemini Moon on Wednesday through Friday. It offers a great opportunity to lay the groundwork for future enterprises, so use these three days to gather more information, research the validity of what you know so far, and brainstorm with others for fresh ideas and alternative paths to make your ideas a reality.
Stepping back to focus on self-nurturing and relaxation will be the focus this weekend, as the Moon enters Cancer and reminds us to take care of ourselves, the people we care about, and our surroundings.
Sunday will offer a wonderful opportunity to spend quality time with your partner, or hang out with friends. A Cancer Moon sextile with Mars in Virgo, as well as with Uranus in Taurus, will set the scene for romance, or some well-deserved fun and laughter! If you are not in a social mood, Sunday will also be the ideal time to redecorate your home, or finish that creative project you have been procrastinating on.
