"We are born at a given moment, in a given place, and like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and the season of which we are born. Astrology does not lay claim to anything more." - Carl Gustav Jung

Gemini Full Moon

   Happy Thanksgiving and happy Full Moon! The Sun ingressed into Sagittarius early this morning, bringing our focus to the bigger picture, while optimistically searching for a  larger sense of purpose. For those of us blessed with family and friends with whom to share our day, the Gemini Moon tonight brings plenty of opportunity to engage in dialogue, share stories and enjoy some lighthearted banter.

   Just after midnight, the Sun and Moon directly oppose one another setting up a day-long  game of tag, you're it! Busy, sociable Gemini energy keeps us on our toes all day as it runs interference with Jupiter, then Mars, Mercury and Neptune! It would be wise to filter our thoughts today, perhaps holding back some of our less charitable ideas.

   Remember that Mercury is known as the Messenger of the Gods, and as the ruler of Gemini, also currently retrograde, we don't want to have to take back our words or make numerous apologies if we don't have to. Saturday finds the mood of the public somewhat more pleasant with each other, however clueless we may be.

    Neptune turns Direct Saturday night so people and agreements are apt to be confusing. If you can gather your facts and do your research before committing to anything important, that would be best until the 27th, when much more favorable planetary aspects prevail.

   Meanwhile, remember to keep your head in the stars and your feet on the ground.

Scorpio New Moon

   The inner (Moon) and the outer (Sun) joined together today at 16 degrees of Scorpio to align our personal desires with those of our partners, no matter how intense things may be. It's  usually a good idea to sit down and write a New Moon "Wish List" for the lunar month ahead. Make note of what you're striving toward and whomever else is along for the journey. Be sure to consider the following aspects being made at this time, as helpers along the way.

    As the Sun and Moon work together in Scorpio, they are separating from a harmonious aspect to the compassionate planet Neptune in its own sign of Pisces. Deep feelings have met with the flowing concern for union and reunion, bringing in a softening of emotions that can allow for understanding and compassion. Be kind to one another.

   When the "Lights", as the Sun and Moon are known, travel through Scorpio's territory, they put added emphasis on determination, power and change. Pluto has dominion over the realm of Scorpio and today he is contacted by these Lights. An opportunity arises to work together for the greater good, maybe locally, maybe on a grander scale. Decide to be active in the role of change, realizing that even small steps will make a great difference in transforming the status quo where needed.

   Today's chart shows Venus in Libra and Mars in Aquarius, both Air signs, in harmony. There is an ability to relate to others and enjoy our groups and our surroundings. Watch out for vague feelings of worry and the inability to be decisive, thanks to Mercury in Sagittarius squaring off with dreamy Neptune. Mars in Aquarius challenges Jupiter at the last degree of Scorpio. Stubborn ideas, fixed attitudes and impulsive behaviors can only lead to more problems. 

   As expansive Jupiter finishes out his year in intense Scorpio, we ought to be disentangling from problematic issues and applying self-discipline to our efforts in achieving our goals. Jupiter moves into his own sign, Sagittarius, at 7:38am tomorrow morning. I promise not to go overboard, but I'm starting to feel a tad bit optimistic!

   Remember to keep your head in the stars and your feet on the ground, whether there's cause for celebration, or not~
