The Astrology of Today - All Signs

November 7, 2009

Mercury semi-square Pluto this morning can suggest some level of mental stress or pressure, mistrust, and suspicion. There is a strong tendency to want to control what others are thinking, to become annoyed very easily with differences of opinion or perspective, and to communicate too forcefully or too little--either way, not effectively. If we harness the energy, we can develop strategies to get to the bottom of any matter. The Moon is in Cancer all day, and we might find ourselves brooding or insular. Venus changes signs this evening, leaving Libra and entering Scorpio, where she will stay until December 1st. Deeply passionate relations come into strong focus during this cycle. Superficial flirtations and contacts do not satisfy now, as we yearn for "body and soul" contact with someone special--contact that breaks the taboos, that is extreme and intense, and that is unforgettable. This is a highly emotional position for Venus. It is a passionate, sensual, and intense energy. Our relationships are immensely important to us, and we may even feel that they consume us. In fact, we tend to want to be consumed by them! Our drive is toward intense closeness, but blind faith in our partners is extremely hard for us now. Fears of being too vulnerable or of giving up our own power to others are strong. Scorpio is an "all or nothing" energy, and relationships tend to be somewhat of a rollercoaster ride as a result. Disdain for mediocrity and superficiality can compel us to create crises in order to feel alive and vital.

This Week in Astrology

This Month: Sagittarius

November 2009

While you are confident and assertive, you are also maintaining some distance from others as you get the rest you so deserve this month. It is natural for you to analyze what is working for you and what isn't until the 23rd, after which you are more certain of your goals, communicative and expressive, and desirous of turning over a new leaf. Love feels especially private from the 8th, but you are also enjoying a new sense of adventure and even a taste of the exotic in your love life these days. From the 16th, career opportunities arise, and a partner has your best interests at heart.

2009 Yearly Horoscope Overview

You've been through enormous personal changes in the last few years, dear Sagittarius, and ideally you have connected with what really motivates you and "makes you tick". 2009 brings pleasing social interactions, plenty of opportunities to learn and improve your skills, and a changing attitude towards money and income. While there could be a lot of backtracking, review, and rethinking in the love arena, we don't expect any major breakups or major new beginnings either. Romance really moves ahead, however, from April 24-May 31. This is a power period for your love life. Most of you will be having a blast. Some rigidity in your career could create challenges in your home life. The urge to rebel against conditions that you have previously accepted is strong, especially for those born December 12-19. Towards the end of the year, and particularly for Sagittarians born early in the sign (from November 22-27), friendships begin to go through some tests. This "clean up" is only beginning and will continue for a couple of years. It's designed to weed out the superficial friendships and to strengthen those that truly matter. Financially speaking, it's mostly smooth sailing, except for some challenges in November. Open up a "dream come true" account for yourself, as money is tied to your sector of hopes and dreams for much of the year. 2009 is a fabulous year for learning, work in communications, and networking. Plenty of opportunities arise on intellectual lines, as well as on the home front. Some of you will have your eye on a dream home, and many of you will be enjoying pleasing family connections and support.
