Starcodes horoscopes for December 4 - 10. 2015
Tricky tricky, tricky; the aspects this week are truly rocky and can precipitate breakdowns, breakthroughs, instigate trouble or push us into ingenious new understanding. Deal with any problem or conflict in as clean, clear, neutral and transparent way as possible, or it ferments and explode. If we keep our energy clean and direct, the week produces creative discontent that can help us focus and make this last month of 2015 incredibly productive. What we produce is up to us. It will be an active month, one way or the other.
All this weekend activity happens on several different levels simultaneously. A surface sociable cheerfulness can leave us opinionated but interested in telling our story. Underneath this level, Venus heads into a month of brooding in emotionally deep Scorpio just as Mars squares Pluto, lord of death and rebirth, and opposes electrical, erratic Uranus. This pattern kicked in last week – holds through the winter solstice- and can act like a combustion engine.
Just as we’re supposed to be getting all sweetness and light for the holidays, old pain stirs and we are reminded of the key issues of our time. Mechanicals glitch in fits and starts. Our attitude sharpens and can grow belligerently volcanic unless we choose to transcend. But if we do choose to transform, whether in in little ways or large, the force is with us.
Scorpio and Pluto both call us through the worst to get to the best. Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio in modern astrology; the symbols for Scorpio are the scorpion and the phoenix, the lowest and highest of the zodiac.
We need to hit the high notes. Don’t waste too much time being outraged; seek what you want to grow and transform instead. Mercury enters industrious, determined Capricorn on Wednesday and helps us produce before the holidays fully kick in. But that very determination can make it hard to let go in the middle of an argument, people get unusually tenacious in their thinking process, and either more responsible, or actively rebellious of their responsibilities. Mercury in Capricorn with Venus in Scorpio can bring a grim element, but if we can add heart and beauty, the determination works for us.
Venus in Scorpio can rake up the past, loves the intensity of anger, intensity of love, and stirs the old coals of unfinished memories. We may feel tossed about by the winds unless we can find a worthy focus. When emotions obsess or old pains resurface, honor them and let them go rather than pokes them for intensity.
Because Venus in Scorpio can obsess on old wounds, some people think they can get emotional satisfaction out of revenge, even though it rarely solves the problem. This could feed into the worst of the present international political storms. Look for tactful, face-saving ways to defuse tension and find some form of shared obligation. If we do there is a real chance at progress later in the week as the Sun trines change-inducing Uranus.
Over this weekend a Libra Moon helps our ease our social interactions on a daily basis, encourages us with camaraderie and small art projects, but keeps the heat up on issues of social justice as it conjunct the Moon and sets off that T-square with Uranus and Pluto.Monday and Tuesday a Scorpio Moon conjuncts Venus and amps up the emotional undertow. Midweek the Sagittarius Moon brings up philosophical discussions about what, wherefore, and why. It also helps with the seasonal festivities, but can make us want to take action, any action, whether we’ve considered the consequences or not.
Friday, December 4: We probably have too much to do this morning as Mercury squares Jupiter under a nervy, work-oriented Virgo Moon. Finish what’s already begun this morning, but wait to initiate new projects. Nervy, we multitask well but can lose our place when we’re juggling too much and can drop the ball; keep an eye on important timing. When the Moon enters Libra midafternoon, be ready to make a few new changes and then want to kick back and step out of work and into our politics and personal life. Surface pleasantries hover over deep pools of feeling tonight as Venus enters broody Scorpio.
Mercury square Jupiter 5:52 AM, Moon enters Libra 3:33 PM, Venus enters Scorpio 9:18 PM.
Saturday, December 5: Morning is relatively pleasant on a generally sociable day. But we become uncomfortable anywhere we are in the habit of giving more than we receive; we notice our any codependent patterns as Venus quincunx the asteroid Vesta, and resent them. Evening grows edgier and as the Moon conjuncts Mars and squares Pluto, performing arts glisten with charisma, chemistry can strike sparks with a stranger, but ordinary arguments can turn into Shakespearean tragedies. Sudden humor can diffuse it in most cases, but watch for accidents and sudden sharp spikes of temper, and choose carefully.
Moon sextile Saturn 8:06 AM, Moon sextile Sun 7:18 PM, Moon conjunct Mars 7:36 PM, Moon square Pluto 8:28 PM.
Sunday, December 6: This could be the best of days, this could be the worst of days, and if we’re lucky the extremes will leave us in a comfortable place in the middle. Optimism resists resentment. The willingness to let go resists obsession. As Mars squares Pluto it turns up the volume on so many primitive emotions. It does aid strategic thinking and surgical efforts; we can release one thing so we can create room for another or cut off something that is no longer working for us. Whether cleaning our closets or letting go of a relative who’s ticked us off one too many times. Just avoid unnecessary surgery.
Moon opposed Uranus 1:36 AM, Sun sextile Mars 3:13 AM, Sun semi-sextile Pluto 9:12 AM, Mercury square Hygeia 11:57 AM, Mars square Pluto 1:51 PM,
Monday, December 7: A strong emotional torque can leave us wiggling our sore tooth or focusing on what hurts and make it worse, which can make it hard to follow through on life’s little details as the Moon conjuncts Venus in Scorpio. Align with the heart and take action from there. Emotions run high early on, by late afternoon we may want to step sideways into our imaginary world but can use this imaginative influx to find a creative solution. Important discussions abound around dinner time, but be careful not to say anything wounding. If the evening brings a gritty sandpapery feeling, kindly leave people alone to their process.
Moon enters Scorpio 4:25 AM, Mercury semi-squares Aries 10:01 AM, Moon conjunct Venus 11:25 AM, Moon trine Neptune 7:40 PM, Mercury square the nodes 7:56 PM.
Tuesday, December 8: biting, to the point, a day for tough negotiations; speak the truth but don’t make the truth anymore unpalatable that it has to be. Watch the barbed wire and barbed tongues, and know when to back away. This is an action oriented day People are ready for a change in direction, so if we can avoid direct confrontation and instead produce introduce our ideas tangentially they are open to good questions and action which actually bring improvement as the Sun trines Uranus. We see the problem in the morning, and look for solutions in the afternoon.
Moon semi-square Mercury 5:24 AM, Moon sextile Pluto 8:48 AM, Moon trine Chiron 3:09 PM, Sun trine Uranus 7:38 PM.
Wednesday, December 9: This morning we can catalog the problems in our life, but need to be careful and not catalog the problems in one another. A moody seriousness is easy to blame on the people around us, but it’s more atmospheric. Afternoon, the Moon enters Sagittarius and shifts the energy, want to feel fresh air or change of scene. Negotiate around the equity of our contributions as Mercury sextiles Juno. Make sure to appreciate contributions that we want to see continue. Control issues rear their head tonight; notice them as a sign of stress.
Sun square Chiron 3:03 AM, Moon semis square Pluto 2:05 PM, Moon enters Sagittarius3:25 PM, Mercury sextile Juno 6:14 PM, Mercury enters Capricorn 7:34 PM.
Thursday, Dec 10: Mars opposes Uranus under all balsamic Sagittarius Moon and leaves us no patience for things that do not work or are not fair, whether we take this on a political or personal level. We don’t want to study the problem; we want to do something about it. Things that were stuck can become unstuck, debates abound, mechanical difficulties can get explosive, and accidents proliferate. Stay present and pay attention to keep accidents at a minimum and use this freeing energy to prepare, and get things rollingtomorrow under the new Moon. Laugh together often and celebrate what works along the way.
Moon square Neptune 5:05 AM, Moon conjunct Saturn 8:02 AM, Mercury square Vesta1:00 PM., Mars opposed Uranus 6:30 PM, Venus semi-square Jupiter 8:06 PM, Venus trine Neptune 11:13 PM, Moon sextile Mars 11:13 PM

by Heather Roan Robbins
After the Thanksgiving feasts and the last guests wobble away, we are left with leftovers, family and some soul work to do. December looks to be a tricky month astrologically, so let’s take a moment to pause on this inward-turning weekend and re-center before we dive in.
Over the weekend an introspective Cancer Moon highlights our sense of security or insecurity and underlines our family relationships. Feel the need to be at home and cozy, and offer compassion for those that don’t have this luxury.
Our beloveds may be feeling tender and therefore strangely defensive. Some chunk of family wounding has an opportunity to turn around and make a healing progress as Chiron turns direct, but that may occur because an old problem rears its head again. Because many people notice their place of unspoken tenderness, they can also be strangely crabby or defensive around the edges. Every time we see a prickly edge, we know we’re skating near some emotional vulnerability.
Venus and Mars run together in Libra this week and keep the level of emotional fervor high. Venus is comfortable in its own sign and supports friendly interaction, compassionate acts, and artistic endeavors. Mars, on the other hand, is uncomfortable in Libra and leaves us prone to convoluted or uncomfortable dealings with confrontation, yet easily ticked off by Libran issues of social justice and balance. We need to deal with conflict in a straightforward and diplomatic manner, no matter what scale we’re working on.
Throughout the weekend it furthers to be kind and mature one in with one another, rather than giving into some short-term but counterproductive self-protection; we can spar with dueling defenses, but this will not further, so find another way. If old issues get triggered, it may help to step aside and admit our frustrations to ourselves, eat that extra dose of cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie, and get back in there to make healthy memories.
On Sunday and early next week, we may be tested on our philosophies and wonder what is the right and responsible way to go forward as the Sun conjuncts Saturn and both square Neptune. Insecurities about our world at large can leak into our interactions so people can be difficult with each other and pretend it’s rational. Or we can consciously choose gratitude and not take anything for granted.
The backdrop for all this year’s transits is a major Saturn–Neptune square which can leave us flooded or haunted with uncertainty; it peaks this week and twice next summer. Saturn conjunct Neptune the year the Berlin wall came down and the Exxon Valdez broke open; this combination dissolves boundaries and containers, for better or for worse. By next autumn we may find riverbanks adjusted, the world’s population rearranged, and have a clearer sense of our own healthy boundaries.
Friday, November 27: Deal with the flurry of phone calls and communication this morning, check in with one another early on. People may want to step into their emotional cocoon as the Moon enters Cancer midday. Our introverted sides resurface. Our digestion can get delicate, and simple comfort foods further. Although we may be reluctant, let’s be prepared to make some emotional adjustments to our situation. Let every interaction be an opportunity for healing as Chiron turns direct, but do so by example and kindness rather than insisting on processing the past; people don’t want to be talked into anything or have their tender innards poked.
Moon enters Cancer 12:26 PM, Moon square nodes 8:02 AM, Mercury semi-squares Juno10:10 PM, Chiron stationary direct.
Saturday, November 28: Strange emotional undercurrents layered with memories of the past can inspire introversion and make this a tricky day as Venus forms challenging aspects to both Neptune and Saturn. It’s easy to project our discomfort with larger issues into interpersonal grit and get miffed. It may be challenging to let go of expectations and let beloveds get a minute alone, but it will further. Take it easy and give people room within, time to withdraw or share their strange moods without having to explain them. We all need to catch up with ourselves, but much of the action will be internal.
Moon trine Neptune at 12:37 AM, Venus sesquiquadrate, Neptune 1:04 AM, Moon square Mars 4:33 AM, Venus semi-square Saturn 5:52 AM, Moon opposed Pluto 12:48 PM, Moon square Uranus 5:57 PM,
Sunday, November 29: Recalcitrant water can create sloppy conditions. We drift, dream, or feel permeable, protective, and potentially prayer- filled as the Sun conjuncts Saturn and squares Neptune. The one thing we can’t do is see very far ahead. Although we have access to endurance, fuzzy thinking or depression can leave us feeling old or as if we should be working harder. Because misunderstandings occur easily today, speak clearly but keep the conversation to the moment and avoid generalizations. Evening picks up both enthusiasm and contentiousness as the Moon enters Leo; we need to be utterly ourselves.
Moon sextile Jupiter 1:03 AM, Moon square Venus 5:45 AM, Sun square Neptune 7:49 AM, Mercury semis sextile Pluto 11:35 AM, Sun conjunct Saturn 5:18 PM, Moon enters Leo 5:47 PM, Mars squares Pallas Athena 11:11 PM.
Monday, November 30: Make contacts to seed projects for the coming month; stir the pot, it’s a good day to reach out and make things happen as the Leo Moon trines the Sun and Saturn. We want to overstate our case but don’t have to, just tell the story clearly. Some people who have not felt heard may act out, so make an effort to formally stop and hear their whole story before trouble starts.
Moon semi-square Jupiter 4:51 AM, Moon trines Saturn 7:47 AM, Moon trines Sun 8:54 AM, Moon sextile Mars 1:46 PM,
Tuesday, December 1: A grand trine with in fire signs between the Moon, Uranus, and Mercury can kick our creative process into high gear. Feel the impatience, surf on its waves and keep moving forward; if things flow easily, take the opportunity not to kick back but to make progress. Once their rolling, events move quickly, and can turn on a dime. Be open to a fresh perspective, notice radical ideas and potentially good changes of mind as Mercury trines Uranus. Look for a fresh release of information, or get press for an important subject. Later in the day we can have a collision of needs, because we all feel the need to be nurtured and appreciated for what we’re doing. Take turns and put each person in the center from moment.
Moon trine Mercury 12:39 AM, Moon trine Uranus 1:27 AM, Mercury trine Uranus 6:59 AM,Mercury square Chiron 9 AM, Sun sextile Ceres 3:51 PM, Moon semi-square Mars8:08 PM, Moon sextile Venus 8:09 PM.
Wednesday, December 2: We can get edgy or feel stretched too thin as the Moon enters nervy Virgo and opposes Neptune and squares Saturn. It’s easiest to start running around because we have too many little things to deal with, but then make mistakes or lose details in the process; the more urgent our work, the more centered we need to be. Priorities can shift during the day as new information comes in. The mood softens after dinner, we grow more grateful for each other support.
Moon enters Virgo 3:09 AM, Venus semi-sextile North node 10:52 AM, Moon opposed Neptune 5:12 PM, Moon squares Saturn 6:40 PM, Venus conjunct Juno 11:44 PM.
Thursday, December 3: What liberates us? The Moon conjunct Jupiter in the early morning sky wants to know. Short-term positive aspects can help ease the workload and let us handle the many pot simmering on the stove. People do not receive criticism easily so keep it short and very specific. December’s challenging aspects begin to pull on us, and we see what’s coming up over the next few weeks. The asteroid Vesta enters Aries, increases our self-reliance and our tendency to burn up our friendships in the name of our work. Keep a good work – life balance.

About astrology, the recent crisis and the year ahead:
There is no astrological excuse for terrible events, because we all have free will and choice. We humans usually live out the symbols of a transit, but each symbol has a wide range of expression, from the gift form through the practical issues to its profound challenge. Nothing forces us to live out an astrological transit in the lowest form, and it’s always our soul’s choice how we respond to the transits.
Astrologers can see the patterns, note the triggers, and suggest how to work with them, but we cannot deprive people of their authorship. We don’t know what you’re going to do with the transit. The recent attacks in Beirut and Paris, and the consequent retaliation, was implemented while both Sun and Mercury worked through Scorpio, and the low note of Scorpio is obsession and revenge. Most of us experienced its neutral form of quiet reserve and focus. But it also breeds profound curiosity and the capacity to understand the complexity of the situation. Scorpio encourages us to be willing to look under the rocks, see the most uncomfortable truths, and find a transformative response. But we have to choose to go there.
The minor foreground aspects that affect our everyday life can bring something minor on a personal level, but when they play off these large major aspects, can trigger something much larger on the world stage. This year’s defining aspect, the back drop over which all the faster moving weekly transits enact, is a challenging square between Saturn and Neptune. Saturn is the symbol of tradition and knowledge on the gift edge, through practical discipline, personal authority and boundaries, on to restriction and oppression on the challenging edge. Neptune is symbolic of intuition, imagination, and spirituality on its positive side, religion, water, oil, dissolution in the pragmatic level and confusion, delusion, addictions, poisoning and martyrdom in its most challenging form.
Throughout this year we can feel lethargic, confused or depressed about all our Saturn issues, about our work or safety, authority structures or personal traditions. We’ll experience leaky (Neptune) boundaries (Saturn) on a personal and international level, and need to wisely strengthen our edges. We’ll be called to be our brother’s keeper (Neptune spirituality meets Saturn responsibility).We may see drought or flood, or experience a crisis of faith.
We can add discipline to our spiritual practice or find traditional ways to prevent martyrdom. This aspect is helpful if work to overcome (Saturn) addictions (Neptune), whether it’s a personal addiction to some escapism, or national addiction to oil. If we suffer from restricted imagination, it will help to practice our craft, and use positive Saturn (disciple, tradition, learning over time and through practice) to prime the pump. Do not give up hope. Use this contemplative time in a good way. Saturn squares Neptune exactly onNovember 26, and again in 2016 on June 17 and September 10, but we’ll feel it all year long.
The two planets symbolic of our emotions, Venus and Mars run together from Mid-October through mid-November and, along with recent Sun spots, amp up all our emotional responses, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Venus and Mars now run together in Libra- we (and all invested parties around the globe) are unusually motivated a craving for social justice- though we may not agree on what that means. Libra is the sign of open warfare and law as much as it’s the sign of love; it speaks of any relationship between equals.
And that is the secret, how do we act with each other in love and war as if we are equals, and offer equal power, equal voice, and equal Saturnine qualities of accountability and responsibility. Anything else can bring a war cry. Remember we always have a choice about how we respond to the transits, so choose wisely, and choose with honesty, hope, and compassion.
This week:
Mercury leaves Scorpio and enters Sagittarius for a swift and honest response, but opens up the conversation. The Sun enters Sagittarius on Sunday. Sagittarius sees things forthrightly and with a world view; we will be talking about international politics and our philosophy non-stop, at the coffee shop and on the evening news. If we can use this combination to speak honestly and work together, it bodes well. It can also speak of a time when people speak without filtering for diplomacy and really put their foot in the mouth, especially under stress.
Give the people around you leeway to just shoot off their mouth for a while; our anxiety can spill forth at first, then peter off into a more subtle and complex form of honesty. Thanksgiving and most of the holiday season’s parties occur in this potentially positive Sagittarius season. Sagittarius energy can help us appreciate what we do have and can build from there. If we’re honest with ourselves.
The weekend begins with a Sun-North node sextile, a minor aspect that encourages us to work together to accomplish a goal. The next few days are active, but not necessarily wise. An unsettling Mercury-Uranus semi-square on Saturday under an Aries Moon keeps us excitable and potentially hot under the collar, it’s up to us to keep us focused on solutions. We can use this unsettled energy to break out of ruts, but the political scene continues to simmer. Venus moves into a tricky T-square with Pluto and Uranus and our heart hurts for all the tumultuous pain, leaves us keenly aware of what we’ve lost, aware that trust and safety are ephemeral. Stay steady. We are processing loss for the world, we feel the pain of the world consciously or unconsciously and are never separate from the history of the world around. Our psyches are too leaky, our world too connected.
Friday, November 20: Our hearts are so soft and vulnerable they can be very guarded in response. The Pisces Moon echoes the poignant, sad Venus square Pluto and lists all the places that hurt. Sagittarius Mercury enters Sagittarius and may take a filter off our communication. People speak their minds, often without thinking through. This brings new layers of truth but not necessarily new layers of wisdom. That’ll be up to us. Be kind, everyone is feeling so raw; it can be hard to be practically competent as we roll on the waves of the oceanic collective subconscious. Engage prayer, art, and radical acts of kindness.
Sun sextile North node 4:18 AM, Moon sextile Pluto 4:54 AM, Mercury enters Sagittarius12:43 PM, Moon opposed Jupiter 3:05 PM, Venus square Pluto 7:01 PM.
Saturday, November 21: This could be a difficult day, or it could be a relief, depending on our circumstance. Willfulness and decisiveness return and so does our contrariness as the Moon enters feisty Aries, Mercury forms a minor but tense aspect to Uranus and tempts us to do something, anything to relieve an interior discomfort. And that can get us in trouble. Instead, explore, connect, and repair. Notice an anxiety from feeling we should do more than we are, and take the time to do it wisely. Everyone may need to act out, let’s just be aware of how we impact others when we do so. Evening may be moody and disconnected, but we can hold hands while we roam around.
Sun semi-square Pluto 3:13 AM, Moon trine Sun 6:22 AM, Moon enters Aries 8:12 AM, Moon trine Mercury 10:35 AM, Moon opposed Mars 5:14 PM, Moon trine Saturn 6:59 PM, Mercury sesqui-quadrate Uranus 7:44 PM,
Sunday, November 22: The Sun enters Sagittarius and the mood could lighten up, or we could shift into action gear. It furthers to move, to dance, to walk in the woods. Get on a mountaintop and get some perspective. Midday we can easily kick into high gear and get our house ready for Thanksgiving as the Moon conjuncts Uranus. We are ready to move furniture. Or troops. Our thoughts may be on food, food supply food source, food content. We also have the capacity to stand back and be more philosophical, but not everybody will want to go there.
Saturn sextiles Ceres 4:42 AM, Moon square Pluto 6:59 AM, Sun enters Sagittarius 8:25 AM, Moon opposed Venus 9:56 AM, Moon conjunct Uranus 12:15 PM, Moon semi-square Neptune 8:26 PM,
Monday, November 23: Some people will have a change of heart, but all of us have a chance to make a solid and practical move forward as the Moon enters stabilizing and stubborn Taurus. Tempers will tend to either calm down or entrench as Mars sextile Saturn, but there’s more room for practical rather than reactionary responses. With Mercury in Sagittarius we’re still easily distracted and tend to run 10 different things at once Venus opposes Uranus. It furthers to make lists and organize.
Moon enters Taurus 9:25 AM, Venus opposes Uranus 3:13 PM, Moon sextile Neptune8:50 PM, Mars sextile Saturn 10:18 PM.
Tuesday, November 24: We may feel confused or unsure (but appear highly opinionated) about where we’re going or how we’re going to pull this off as the Sun sesqui-quadrates erratic Uranus and active Mars quincunx Neptune. Instead of running headlong into the fog, we can take the practical next step, and then another, and reassess. Evening brings more certainty and rigorous thinking but can leave us depressed as Mercury conjunct Saturn and squares Neptune. Think it through, think seriously, but make sure to see the whole picture and not just the problem.
Sun sesqui-quadrate Uranus 5:14 AM, Moon trine Pluto 7:56 AM, Mars quincunx Neptune8:58 AM, Moon trine Jupiter 6:25 PM, Mercury conjunct Saturn 9:56 PM.
Wednesday, November 25: Mercury squares Neptune under a full Moon in Gemini on this heavy travel day; notice the weather patterns and play it safe. Watch for misunderstandings or mistake in recipe ingredients as Mercury squares Neptune. We can get so scattered, and need to appreciate the humor in slapstick in this instead of getting even more frazzled when the mistakes occur. If depression or moodiness wafts, bring the attention in and return to what matters; safety, love, hearth and home. This is an important time to count our blessings. Do not let the pains of recent world events overwhelm. Focus on what we want to grow in our world.
Mercury square Neptune 12:14 AM, Mercury sextile Mars 9:31 AM, Moon enters Gemini10:15 AM, Moon opposed Sun 3:44 PM, Moon opposed Saturn 9:46 PM, Moon square Neptune 9:49 PM.
Thursday, November 26: On the surface the conversation is buzzing, many people many hands can make the work light. Humor percolates, though people will tend to talk over each other or at cross purposes. And let us give thanks for every drop of this bubbling interaction as the Moon trines Venus and sextiles Jupiter. The Saturn-Neptune square is exact today and provides the moody undercurrents. We feast over the deeper worries; let them add poignancy and gratitude. Weave the community and the strength we need to handle all larger problems.
Moon opposed Neptune 12:25 AM, Saturn square Neptune 5:14 AM, Moon sextile Uranus2:15 PM, Moon sextile Jupiter 8:23 PM, Moon trine Venus 8:35 PM.

Get up before sunrise (or stay up late) and see Venus and Mars waltzing together so near to Jupiter close to the Eastern horizon. Take this opportunity to commune with our nearby planetary neighbors, feel connected to the solar system and let their beauty flow into the heart. Venus and Mars are the planets that signify our emotional, social, and creative nature and are now dancing together in Libra, the sign of romance, love, beauty and social justice. That may not be what we have, but we long for this ideal.
Although this is generally a focused and hard-working month with Sun and Mercury in intense and scrappy Scorpio, both are sextile expansive Jupiter this weekend and loan us a more optimistic, idealistic undercurrent. They remind us that friendships can blossom and small groups of dedicated people can actually make a difference. But because we feel this ideal is possible, hovering just over the horizon, the world’s discordant unfairness can really grate on our heart.
We are encouraged to be friendly and comfortable, and create beauty around us wherever we go by Venus and Mars in Libra, sextile Saturn and quincunx Neptune. They may also inspire us to take up a cause for the beauty way, a cause to make our world more beautiful because we treat each other in a more balanced and egalitarian way. We may find it unusually satisfying to work for our causes and confront in the social-political arena, unusually wonderful to work together with friends or family in an act of kindness or compassion, but can be unusually adverse to confrontation close at home.
Venus and Mars together in Libra can heat up both our romantic thoughts and our personal expectations. And here we have to be careful so as not to set ourselves up for disappointment. We may feel a little bit more soft emotionally open or needy, but with Mercury now in inward-looking, emotional risk-aversive Scorpio, it can be tricky to express this vulnerability. We may expect another person to apologize or make the overture, but they’re waiting for us to do the same, and both parties can end up disappointed unless someone has the guts to reach out. Be brave.
But if someone’s expectations are truly unwanted, we need to be very clear about our boundaries, because Mercury in Scorpio can also inflame obsessions. These expectations could be romantic, or it could be the financial dunning from favored charities and political organizations that can leave one feeling overextended. Be considerate, though, because that Scorpio line-up also stimulate passive aggression or meanness if we feel disrespected.
Take this clarification out a step farther and assess the interpersonal expectations in any ongoing relationships, like family, working partnerships or spiritual groups. We may not want to process uncomfortable details right now, but really don’t need feel judged by unspoken criteria and experience the mysterious disappointments that can creep up otherwise.
The weekend begins under a friendly, outspoken Sagittarius Moon, a great time to run into old friends or strike up a laughing conversation with a stranger and make a new one. We can have unusually open and substantial conversations about difficult topics, though may find small talk hard. Over the weekend let’s laugh more and work less, or take the work outside and refill our wells so our health stays strong in this industrious month. Early next week we can feel some tension between our work and our need to socialize, between pragmatism and beauty. But we don’t need to take the stress out on each other.
The Moon enters stubborn and political Aquarius midweek as the Sun conjuncts Mercury. We may seem open, but can be inordinately stubborn. Watch for passive aggressive behavior when we’d like to be more diplomatic than we really are. Use this pleasant, diplomatic ability not to avoid the tough stuff this week, but to deal with it with kindness, integrity, and insight.
Friday, November 13: Pointed, irreverent, and idealistic; the mood of this day can seem deceptively simple, but we work on so many layers. Enjoy a friendly camaraderie wherever possible as Venus sextiles Saturn and Mercury sextiles Jupiter. Be the person others can count on, help them see a silver lining even in a dark cloud. Don’t be too Pollyanna-like, as Scorpio cynicism lurks around the edges, but encourage people to believe in potential. Connect with old friends or with something that has stood the test time. Grow those sweet connections that weave a community together with kind perception.
Mercury sextile Hygeia 8:36 AM, Venus sextile Saturn 10:11 AM, Mercury sextile Jupiter11:17 AM, Moon trine Uranus 5:22 PM, Moon square Jupiter 8:18 PM
Saturday, November 14: This morning we may feel how overextended we’ve been, and need to unwind in to recharge. More than rest, we need to play, to do what brings us joy as Jupiter conjuncts Hygeia, and underlines our body-mind connection. Tonight grows more formal as the Moon enters Capricorn, we can get more serious, even grim or impatient as the Moon square Mars: but can still choose to enjoy the evening if we roll with events and prioritize experience and not perfection. Tradition, history, old school approaches further.
Jupiter conjunct Hygeia 10:44 AM, Moon enters Capricorn 5:21 PM, Venus quincunx Neptune 6:32 PM Moon, Moon square Mars 7:50 PM.
Sunday, November 15: Our chores start knocking on the doors of our conscience. Notice but don’t get stressed out; let the morning be restful, but by midday, use a desire to organize to discuss upcoming plans for the holidays or for life as we know it. We need to process, and some of our concerns are floating to the surface to be dealt with, but we don’t have to get wound up to do so. Communication can snag in long-term relationships of any sort as Mercury quincunx the asteroid Juno and Neptune sesqui-quadrates Juno. We may think we’ve heard one another, but can get so focused on our concerns that we get a little controlling or compulsive and don’t really listen. Practice great relationship skills, it will actually save time in the long run.
Moon sextile Neptune 6:25 AM, Moon square Venus 7:32 AM, Mercury semi-sextile Juno10:41 AM, Neptune sesqui-quadrate Juno 4:59 PM, Moon conjunct Pluto 6:37 PM.
Monday, November 16: Organize and team-build the same time; we can feel both driven by our goals under an industrious Capricorn Moon but also are able to work out some interpersonal quirks. If people have a slightly frantic look in their eyes, find out what’s pressing upon them and use that to hook them into the conversation. If people feel supported in their deepest challenges, they will support right back. The mood can be a bit grim and focused though with an underlying friendly vibe, a very productive day to get teams organized and everybody on the same page for upcoming work.

Tuesday, November 17: Our thought translates into action easily as Mercury conjuncts the Sun while a congenial, political Aquarius Moon trines both Venus and Mars. Both consciousness and unconsciousness are busy expressing today, but may be saying different things; notice any difference between what a person says and what they do to get a picture of the integration or tension within. The day may bring political savvy but interpersonal awkwardness, as if we can see the big picture but can’t quite see those close to us. Although it’s not a warm and fuzzy day, potentially productive teamwork can help us put in proposals or contact political representatives. Be charming but watch a tendency to use charisma to manipulate for personal gains tonight, it will erode trust.

Wednesday, November 18: It may feel easier to work solo, but we get farther if we can bring our team along. Frank and confident honesty clarifies some misperceptions as Neptune turns direct after months retrograde; some illusion or uncertainty may begin to clear up. But people can dig their heels in if opposed or if their philosophies are confronted. Watch for stalling storm systems or other odd weather, and stalling philosophies. A situation may arise where we are challenged to walk our talk; our philosophy may not feel particularly practical or comfortable to live by, but it is important to either be true to what we believe, or change our philosophy to be more authentic.

Thursday, November 19: Listen to dreams and other auspices today as Mercury sextiles the North node and the Moon enters intuitive Pisces. We can curl up and drift in our imaginings today, but may feel too sensitive to deal with everything else. Don’t even think of guilt tripping or trying to manipulate with feelings because it will backfire. Notice a strong urge to cut out anything that hurts. Be very respectful of feelings, give people the space in the privacy they need. Radical acts of kindness and compassion need to be our art form.
Moon square Mercury 1:19 AM, Moon enters Pisces 5:21 AM, Moon square Saturn 4:08 PM, Moon conjunct Neptune 5:26 PM, Mercury semi-square Pluto 5:28 PM.
