For the week of November 8th thru the 15th, be sure to read your Rising Sign as well:
Aries
Many an Aries will be happy to see the back end of the recent Mars/Pluto square. This is a stressful transit to say the least, filled with bottled up anger and resentment, that is just ready to finally erupt. Hopefully some of that lava can find some sort of positive resolution or channel to flow through, now that Mars is finally past the gauntlet. This is a time to look forward, not back. Regardless of the Mercury retrograde. A sense of optimism ensues when you focus on the positive, and align yourself with only your best expression of yourself. Challenge yourself by setting positive but achievable goals. Inspire yourself by connecting with your highest ideals. What needs improving in your life? And what practical ways can you go about making those improvements? If in doubt, look for signs and messages in and around the Full Moon for guidance.
Taurus
This week there is a Full Moon in your sign. This will be most powerful for those Taureans born between the 8th and the 14th of May, or who have 17-23º of Taurus Rising, however all Taureans should feel this Moon. And it is a magical Full Moon, asking us all to manifest our hopes, wishes and aspirations. This includes taking some responsibility for the direction that your life is taking. What would make your life more meaningful? And what can you possibly do to bring more meaning into your life? Might this include working on your relationships with others? Rather than succumbing to disenchantment with the current state of affairs, use this time to connect with yourself, and your highest aspirations. Allow that to be your guiding light. Seek peace, surrender and tranquility and don’t allow fears or disappointments to mar your dreams.
Gemini
If you were to want to improve a certain area of your life, where would that be? What would that look like? Would you want to embark on a program of self-improvement? Would you like to improve a skill you already have, or learn a new skill? Is there a habit or a tendency that you would like to work on? What would make you feel as if you have a better handle on your life, yourself and your destiny? And how would this improvement contribute to you leading a more ideal life and lifestyle? Even if you don’t ‘do’ anything this week, this is the ideal time to seed the intention to do so perhaps in the future. This is because there is a window of opportunity here to connect with your hopes and ideals, allowing you to more clearly visualize what would bring more meaning into your daily life. Listen to your dreams: in what practical ways in your daily life can you make these a closer reality?
Cancer
The tone of the Full Moon in Taurus is about bringing peace, detente, and serenity back into your life. But this Moon is even deeper and more profound than even that, as it is tied into the Saturn/Neptune transit. Amplifying its power of visualization and tuning into your ideals, this Moon can open you up to more meaningful ways to fulfill your goals and aspirations. Thanks to the Mercury retrograde cycle, we will all be more deeply exploring the meaning of the Saturn/Neptune transit. Arriving at a point of acceptance for what is or is not possible, and accepting the reality of your situation makes it easier to set a clearer path. What practical steps can you take in order to bring your life more in alignment with your true wishes and ideals? Messages may come through the usual ways this week, but it is also important to pay attention to your dreams and inner visions as well.
Leo
In some way, we are all being asked to bring our minds and our lives, more in alignment with our soul’s behests this week. In order to do this, we will need a little space and silence. Intuitive, reflective and imaginative, the soul speaks to us in a still small voice at these times, and you will not want to drown it out with too much noise or activity. The confluence of transits with the Full Moon only deepens your connection with your dreams and highest aspirations this week, making this an excellent time for both visualization and creative self expression. Take notes. Don’t let any good ideas or insights slip away with the retrograde Mercury. Write them down. And also pay attention to important dreams and premonitions. Keep a journal near your bed if you must. This is potent magical weather laden with signs and messages.
Virgo
The New Mercury cycle begins just one day before the Full Moon this week. This is a time to seed better mental habits, routines and healthier perspectives and outlooks. This is when we connect with some sort of prevailing thought or idea that will invest much of the next 3 months. What that prevailing thought will be is being given a further boost with the Full Moon. Stress can often increase during the Mercury retrograde phase. So be preemptive this week, and focus on techniques that reduce stress and anxiety, and help to create positive mental habits. You will also want some quiet time in and around the transit of Mercury on Monday, for this is when we will be most in tune with the behests of the soul and our inner being. Use tools to connect with your subconscious, whether that be meditation, scrying, or reading tea leaves. Think of this as something of a rebirth, for never is this planet that has domain over the Mind, so pure as it is when it is in the heart of the Sun.
Libra
The tension of the recent Mars/Pluto square will finally dissipate over the weekend to the great relief of many. Who needs all that stress, anger and guilt? What it may have shown us id where we still need to do some serious work and rebuilding. A much more positive outlook should prevail for the rest of the week however, as you aim to connect with higher, more worthy goals and aspirations. All the more so with the Full Moon and the transit of Mercury which asks us to connect with our inner muse and ideals. Do not allow disenchantment or disappointments to distract you from the important inner work to be done this week. Seek respite, quiet and enchantment within and through those activities that allow you to connect with Spirit and the behests of the soul. It is time to rebuild confidence and heal your soul through more worthy activities and trends.
Scorpio
The Full Moon on Tuesday stands as a lamp and a guidepost for all of your cumulative actions and decisions. If things are not working out quite as you had hoped, this can also serve as something of a reboot or rebirth, thanks to the transit of Mercury that takes place in your sign just the day before the Full Moon. If there are any personal changes that you might want to make, this is an ideal time to think about these, especially in terms of self-improvement. Where have there been any stresses lately, and what can you do to improve, rebuild or heal these? The insights that come through the Mercury transit on Monday can be very helpful in getting priorities in order, and getting your life back on track. A sense of empowerment arises when we take hold of the reins of our lives and find our place in the scheme of things.
Sagittarius
Mixed messages have you coming and going this week as disenchantment weaves its way through the background of your life, even as things are beginning to move forward. Don’t allow any disappointments to mar your enthusiasm. You have every reason to feel positive about the future. All the more so as it should become evident as to where and how you can possibly make a dream a closer reality. Pay attention to your inner guidance system: you intuition, your conscience and even your dreams. Connecting with these will help to steer you in the right direction. And your optimism and enthusiasm will bring you where you need to be. This is a good week for all sorts of activities that can lead to growth, expansion and even success with the right attitude.
Capricorn
A sense of responsibility and obligation helps to bring you into alignment with your highest aspirations. There is an opportunity here to make a dream a closer reality. But in order to do so, it will take a certain amount of effort. So you may want to ask yourself: What practical steps can I take in order to bring my life more in alignment with my true ideals and dreams? What would that look like for me? And also: What sacrifices am I willing to make in order to fulfill my goals and improve my current circumstances? The retrograde Mercury only deepens your connection with your dreams and highest ideals this week, making this an excellent week for visualizing your future. The clarity of the messages you receive this week can help you find practical ways in your daily life to manifest your dreams.
Aquarius
The Full Moon on Tuesday has the capacity to shine a light on the ways and means that you can possibly take to make a dream or an aspiration a closer reality. It won’t just happen on its own however. It will take a certain amount of work and dedication to seeing something through to its completion first. This also means looking at things realistically: crunching the numbers, sticking to facts. It could even feel like you are on a mission, and not allow anything to get in the way of what needs doing. But it is also important to keep in your sights the end goal, which is ultimately finding a way to apply your ideals to your everyday life. You might want to ask yourself: what are you willing to sacrifice or let go, in order to fulfill your dreams?
Pisces
This month has been something of an exercise in being able to discover ways to make your dreams and aspirations a closer reality. This can be about applying your ideals in your everyday life in some way: walking the walk as well as talking the talk. It could also be about making your life more meaningful and purposeful to you in some way. It can also be about immersing yourself in nature, in art, or beauty. Whether outwardly, or in your own imagination, this is an excellent week to find your muse, dream your dreams, and visualize a more perfect life and lifestyle. You may not necessarily be able to reach perfection, but perhaps you can find small but meaningful ways to reach some sort of approximation. Listen to your dreams, then look for practical ways in your everyday life to make these a closer reality.
