Events by this organizer

Sunday, NOVEMBER 1

The Moon spends the day in the sign of Taurus, and we’re seeking steadiness and harmony. Retrograde Mercury forms a square to Saturn today. This aspect first occurred on September 23rd, while Mercury was direct, and will recur on November 6th. In fact, it will stay in orb until the 6th due to Mercury’s station direct on the 3rd. Until the 6th, there can be an increase in errors, negative thinking, critique, and miscommunications. Something communicated in September can now come back for correction or refocus. Communication blocks or challenges are possible. We may be dealing with the consequences of guarded, delayed, or contrary communications. It’s difficult to trust our instincts, and our thoughts or conversations don’t flow very naturally under this influence. Past problems may crop up for review or further attention.

As well, Venus opposes Chiron, and there can be disappointments as we focus on the differences and weaknesses rather than the strong points in our interactions. Temporarily, we can be less confident about our relationships, social life, worth, money, or social skills. We are more aware and possibly resentful of imbalances in our relationships and insecure about whether our affections are reciprocated.

Tonight’s Moon-Saturn trine can help stabilize our emotions, bringing us down to earth and focused on practical priorities.

The void Moon occurs from 9:29 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Saturn), until the Moon enters Gemini tomorrow, Monday, November 2nd, at 4:59 AM EST.

Monday, NOVEMBER 2

The Moon continues its transit of Taurus until 4:59 AM EST, after which it moves through the sign of Gemini. With a Sun-Pluto quintile today, we take on a comfortably strategic approach to our lives. The Gemini Moon encourages a connected, communicative approach to our lives. Curiosity is stimulated. This Moon wants to diversify and keep things light and friendly.

The Moon’s trine to Venus this evening helps smooth out some of the communication troubles that are prevalent now as we near a Mercury station, and an impending Mercury-Saturn square hangs heavily over the week. We’re tuning in to our need for pleasure and comfort, and we’re seeking areas of harmony and similarity.

The void Moon continues until the Moon enters Gemini today at 4:59 AM EST.

Tuesday, NOVEMBER 3

The Moon spends the day in communications-focused Gemini. Gemini’s ruler, Mercury, stations and turns direct today after three weeks of retrograde motion. Over the coming weeks, recent challenging issues with communications and decision-making can improve. The answers we’ve been waiting for might arrive, and plans or projects that have stalled now resume.

It can be hard to make sense of everything during the shift today, however, and thus critical decision-making might be avoided for the time being if possible, as our thinking can be skewed temporarily. We’re more error-prone. As the shift from retrograde to direct occurs, there can be the magnification of problems and difficulties conveying and understanding directions.

Also today, Venus forms a quincunx to Uranus, and we can have a hard time integrating our needs for companionship or closeness with our desire for freedom and independence. There is a sense that we can only have one or the other. We’re unlikely to feel confident enough to rock the boat. Taming rebelliousness makes sense now.

Wednesday, NOVEMBER 4

The Moon continues its transit of Gemini until 4:45 PM EST, after which the Moon transits Cancer. The Moon is void from 8:49 AM to 4:45 PM, and during this period, it’s generally best not to push new pursuits, as they can be harder or impossible to realize. Its trine to Mercury this morning helps us express ourselves well, even if our words are not perfect. With the Gemini Moon, we’re reasonable and logical, and we gravitate toward contacts and activities that stimulate us and satisfy our need for diversity, variety, and knowledge.

After 4:45 PM, we begin to favor comfort over satisfying our curiosity. With a Cancer Moon, we seek familiar faces and places.

The void Moon occurs from 8:49 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Mercury), until the Moon enters Cancer at 4:45 PM EST.

Thursday, NOVEMBER 5

The Moon spends the day in the sign of Cancer. We seek out comfort and familiarity today with a Cancer Moon. However, this pursuit may clash with our desire for companionship and independence with the Moon’s square to Venus in Libra and Mars in Aries. Nevertheless, we can benefit from the clarity of the Sun-Moon trine this evening and act more holistically and purposefully. Our feelings run deep, and we are unafraid to face them, making it a good time to get in touch with what motivates us and others. We have a high need to stick with tradition or familiar methods, and ideally, we’re learning from past experiences, love, family, and attachments.

We head toward a Mercury-Saturn square–the final such aspect after Mercury’s direct turn. A problem, criticism, or misunderstanding can weigh heavily in the air.

Friday, NOVEMBER 6

Mercury first formed a lower square to Saturn on September 23rd and then, while retrograde, returned to the square on November 1st. Early today, this aspect perfects for the final time. We may have been swinging back to problems that first began in September, and we’re now facing them with new information. Something communicated in the past can now come back for correction or refocus.

A Mercury-Saturn square is rather grumpy, critical, and worried or fretting. We may speak/think negatively or expect the worst under this influence. However, there can be a willingness to make sacrifices if it seems the best way to make improvements.

While the Cancer Moon forms a lovely trine to Neptune this morning, and we can find creative ways to express and satisfy our increased needs for safety, it forms oppositions to Jupiter, Pluto, and Saturn as well as a square to Mercury. The Cancer Moon’s more defensive side may surface. Our emotional needs and personal life stand in stark contrast with our responsibilities. We’re inclined to want to give a personal pursuit some special attention, but we can be frustrated by little things that go wrong or pull us away from our interests. These aspects remind us of the need to find the right balance between our personal and public lives or between play and discipline.

The void Moon occurs from 8:27 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Mercury), until the Moon enters Leo tomorrow, Saturday, November 7th, at 2:19 AM EST.

Saturday, NOVEMBER 7

The Moon heads into the sign of Leo early today at 2:19 AM EST. This morning, Leo’s ruler, the Sun, forms a quincunx to retrograde Mars, presenting some mild challenges and disrupting the flow. There can be a dilemma between what we want and what we think we should do. Tension is possible due to divergent needs or desires. Desires can be compelling, but we may be on the fence about how–or whether–to fulfill them. We may feel a little out of sorts, which can ultimately prompt us to make some useful edits.

As the day advances, the Leo Moon encourages our theatrical, playful, and competitive sides. The Moon’s square to Uranus suggests an attempt to stubbornly stick with our methods this afternoon.

The void Moon continues until the Moon enters Leo today at 2:19 AM EST.

Sunday, NOVEMBER 8

The Last Quarter Moon occurs this morning with the Leo Moon’s square to the Sun, signaling a time to review and sort rather than push something new. Until after the New Moon, it’s a better time to tie up loose ends, take inventory, and let go if necessary. We might consider our recent revelations, what they mean to us, and what’s our possible next step.

The Moon spends the day in Leo, encouraging our affectionate, expressive natures. The Leo Moon is honorable, proud, and authoritative. We are taking pride in our relationships, and we may be putting forth extra effort to strengthen and support others and build trust.

Monday, NOVEMBER 9

The Moon continues its transit of Leo until it enters Virgo at 8:30 AM EST. We can move from a playful to a workhorse frame of mind with this Moon sign change.

Venus opposes retrograde Mars this morning, however, pitting wants and desires against one another. Passions run high, and jealousies are possible. Impulsive decisions affect our finances and/or established relationships. We might stir up problems to fulfill a need for excitement if we are not aware of the tendency. Our desires can be difficult to understand–or difficult to satisfy.

Brewing relationship issues can come to a head. Venus in Libra seeks a middle ground, but Mars in Aries, complicated by its slow pace as it heads towards a station, is independent and self-directed. Mixed signals can be frustrating and even maddening now.

As the day advances, we’re far more zen as the Sun heads toward a trine to Neptune, exact very early tomorrow. This transit introduces a fluid, graceful theme to the second half of the day. We readily access our intuition, and we can be moved to help, support, or give of ourselves. We see people and life itself from a different perspective–one that not only allows for but finds beauty in differences.

The void Moon occurs from 6:05 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Mercury), until the Moon enters Virgo at 8:30 AM EST.

Tuesday, NOVEMBER 10

The Moon spends the day in the sign of Virgo, and pouring some of our energy into detailed work may be appropriate. We tend to focus on the parts that make up a whole. Its opposition to Neptune this afternoon can temporarily pull us off our game. Still, its harmonious aspects with the Sun and then Jupiter and Pluto encourage cooperation, focus, and practical ability. This transit draws out our desire to heal, help, and fix, and stimulates a need for order and predictability.

Mercury, which has been moving in direct motion for a week, moves back into Scorpio, where it will transit until December 1st. Mercury’s post-retrograde shadow runs until November 19th. Mercury in Scorpio seeks truths in all things hidden or undercover. It’s a time to probe, investigate, observe, and focus. Looking for motivations–the more deeply buried, the better–satisfies an intellectual need now. We favor deep conversations. Thinking tends to be one-track minded and perhaps obsessive.

Wednesday, NOVEMBER 11

The Moon continues its transit of Virgo until 11:10 AM EST. The Virgo Moon is practical, especially with its trine to Saturn this morning. While we can find many things to do and we’re busier than usual, it’s easy to get into a comfortable routine. We want to be useful and productive, and focusing on details seems the best route to making headway.

The Moon in Libra from 11:10 AM forward inclines us to seek out the other side to a story. We’re looking at things from a different perspective and giving our relationships their due attention. However, Libra’s ruler, Venus, forms a quincunx to Neptune, and uncertainty in Venus-ruled life areas (romance, social life, and finances) can be a theme. We could struggle between wanting to see things realistically and preferring to look the other way or nurture a fantasy. There can be some insecurity or doubts about others or our own feelings and perceptions under this influence.

The void Moon occurs from 5:59 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Saturn), until the Moon enters Libra at 11:10 AM EST.

Thursday, NOVEMBER 12

This morning, a Sun-Chiron minor challenge suggests further wavering of confidence. We may doubt our inner guide, and we may face situations that seem to test our vulnerabilities. The Libra Moon opposes retrograde Mars, reinforcing touchiness and temperamentality. While we’re seeking harmony, our desires and impulses seem to contradict this emotional orientation.

However, Jupiter and Pluto align today for the third and final time in the sign of Capricorn. This aspect first formed in early April and recurred in late June. It has sparked a need for shared interests or taking on a challenge as we strive for more significance. It’s been an ambitious time when a desire for success, growth, and development is incredibly strong.

We can feel driven to better ourselves and the world around us. We might solve a problem that has been in existence for some time or capitalize upon a previously hidden resource. Social or material goals may come into sharper focus, and reform could figure strongly now. We’re learning to make the most of our resources, and we’re dealing with change and transformation with more confidence and faith. Making the most of changing circumstances is powerful. We should watch for tendencies towards self-righteousness, exaggeration, and obsession. There is certainly an inclination to take things too far.

Friday, NOVEMBER 13

Mars stations and turns direct today after over two months of retrograde motion (Mars was retrograde since September 9th in the sign of Aries). This evening, the fiery planet is stationary as it begins direct motion. Mars energy hangs heavy in the air today and in the next couple of days as Mars changes direction.

Slowly but surely, over the coming weeks, we are likely to regain our enthusiasm, projects that have stalled move forward, and we begin to feel more confident and assertive. We may change our minds about recent decisions or projects as priorities become more explicit. Ideally, we’ve learned more about our desires, and motivation levels increase.

As the shift occurs today, and with Mercury in a minor challenging aspect to Neptune, it’s best to wait and see. The Moon continues its transit of Libra until it enters Scorpio at 11:19 AM EST. The Scorpio Moon is determined and convicted.

The void Moon occurs from 6:33 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Saturn), until the Moon enters Scorpio at 11:19 AM EST.

Saturday, NOVEMBER 14

The Sun forms a sextile to Pluto and then to Jupiter today, and we can be tapping into our determination to improve or grow. We may get a “yes” or go-ahead for a project or gain cooperation from others. Some form of recognition or distinction is possible now. We feel more vital and confident. We enjoy strategizing and can be very resourceful, ambitious, and eager to expand. We’re certainly seeking a little more depth or meaningfulness from our activities and connections. We tend to direct our energy constructively and seek out new insight into our lives. It’s a good time for promotion and marketing. The Moon spends the day in the sign of Scorpio, reinforcing themes of concentration and determination.

Sunday, NOVEMBER 15

The New Moon occurs shortly into the day at 12:07 AM EST in the sign of Scorpio, prompting the need for a fresh start. In the weeks ahead, we may be working on our self-mastery skills. It’s a fine time to pinpoint the things in our lives that make us feel out of control, such as addictions and debts, and work toward release from these emotional burdens.

We may have an opportunity to rid ourselves of excess “junk” in our lives, material or spiritual. We may be moved to dig deeper into the mysteries around us rather than remain content with the status quo. Taking the time to understand others’ motives can enrich our feelings of intimacy, forgiveness, and a sense of meaning. We might want to use this cycle to focus on developing one special project or relationship to help add purposefulness and depth to our lives.

It can also be a time to seek ways to release our fear of confrontations and heavy emotional situations. We’re discovering that although they may be uncomfortable, these situations can lead us toward psychological healing.

This New Moon harmonizes with Jupiter, Neptune, and Pluto. We can quickly drum up support and motivation from within to accomplish our goals.

Still, Venus forms a square to Pluto and closes in on a square to Jupiter, and disruptions now may lead to a desire to explore motivations and understand meanings. We should take care not to blow our needs for approval, love, or more meaning in our lives out of proportion, and to overstate our feelings or qualifications as a result. We should watch for excess, making much more of a situation than is warranted, or attempting to attract others through exaggeration. These transits can accentuate or stimulate our insecurities, bringing suspicions and jealousies to the surface. Social interactions may be intense or could provoke intense feelings.

The Moon continues its transit of Scorpio until 10:47 AM EST when it enters spirited Sagittarius.

The void Moon occurs from 6:13 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Saturn), until the Moon enters Sagittarius at 10:47 AM EST.

Monday, NOVEMBER 16

The Moon spends the day in Sagittarius. The Venus-Jupiter square perfects shortly into the day, suggesting a tendency to excess or exaggeration. The Moon in Sagittarius is bold, adventurous, and eager. We’re motivated to reach out beyond our usual routines.

We’re heading toward a Mercury-Uranus opposition. This aspect first formed in early October and then recurred later in the month when Mercury was retrograde. Today’s is the third and final formation, and it can stir mental tension, controversy, miscommunication, or changes of mind or plans, and resistance to ideas. Friction stimulated can challenge us to learn more about our minds and opinions. Epiphanies and unusual insights can occur now. Surprising news might arrive that turns our perception of a situation on its head.

Tuesday, NOVEMBER 17

The Moon continues its transit of Sagittarius until 11:35 AM EST. The Sagittarius Moon is brave and a tad restless, seeking new experiences. This Moon transit stimulates a need for meaning, truth, and adventure. The Mercury-Uranus opposition perfects early today, and we can be confrontational or rebellious in our communications. The friction stimulated now can challenge us to think more clearly and learn more about our opinions.

From 11:35 AM EST forward, the Moon transits Capricorn, helping to ground us, but also stoking our ambitions. We crave results, preferring to see the reality of a situation. We are paying strong attention to our responsibilities and the structures in our lives.

The void Moon occurs from 2:55 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Venus), until the Moon enters Capricorn at 11:35 AM EST.

Wednesday, NOVEMBER 18

The Moon transits Capricorn all day, and we can be especially goal-oriented. With a sensible Capricorn Moon, we seek more order and structure in our lives. However, in the hours surrounding the Moon-Mars square this afternoon, we can be temperamental. This brief transit can pit our sense of independence against duty. As the day advances, it becomes far easier to pace ourselves.

We head towards a Sun-Saturn sextile that supports disciplining ourselves to bring more purpose and practicality to our lives. This is a time of increased self-awareness that leads to realistic plans and goals. The Sun-Saturn influence keeps our feet on the ground. We prefer conservative, safe moves now – slow and steady suits us fine. We feel grounded and stable. It’s easy to stick to a particular task and make headway. Taking into account practical considerations and time/energy limitations makes for better planning.

Thursday, NOVEMBER 19

Venus forms a square to Saturn this morning, and we can be on guard or defensive with our feelings and affections. Fears are most likely at the root of this. We may feel a little discouraged on a social level if we don’t receive the feedback we crave. Difficulties socializing can occur if we are more sensitive to rejection than usual. There may be a lesson or reality check with matters of the heart, pleasure, or finances. We’re cautious and unlikely to be free or generous with money or our hearts temporarily.

The Moon continues its transit of careful, responsible Capricorn until 3:25 PM EST, after which the Moon is in Aquarius. With an Aquarius Moon, we can be emotionally detached when the situation calls for it. Still, we’re understanding, visionary, and just.

With the Sun semi-sextile Venus tonight, we may feel that our quest for pleasure, affection, love, or comfort is at odds with what we think we should be doing, which can lead to mild tension or feelings of guilt, and perhaps some indecision. Seeking to fulfill both needs without doing so at the expense of the other can help resolve these problems.

The void Moon occurs from 11:30 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to the Sun), until the Moon enters Aquarius at 3:25 PM EST.

Friday, NOVEMBER 20

The Moon spends the day in the sign of Aquarius, and we’re attracted to the extraordinary and unconventional. Independence, equality, and freedom are vital to feeling emotionally satisfied with this position of the Moon. We can be enthusiastic and hopeful, playing with exciting ideas and making plans. The Aquarius Moon is earnest, friendly, and principled.

With the Moon square Uranus and Mercury, we could be saying the wrong things or misinterpreting one another, perhaps due to impatience. Some emotional detachment can be refreshing as the day advances and the Moon forms a sextile to Mars.

The void Moon occurs from 7:49 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Mars), until the Moon enters Pisces tomorrow, Saturday, November 21st, at 11:06 PM EST (a lengthy one!).

Saturday, NOVEMBER 21

Both Venus and the Sun change signs today: Venus enters Scorpio for a stay until December 15th. It’s a highly emotional and passionate position for Venus. We seek projects, pleasures, and relationships that involve, absorb, or consume us. Fears of being too vulnerable or of giving up our power to others heighten can heighten. We’re especially adept at handling money and resources during this cycle.

However, the Sun leaves Scorpio and enters Sagittarius for a transit that lasts until December 21st. Our focus shifts from the need for an intimate connection with a person, project, or ourselves, to the desire to reach out to the world and connect with something larger than ourselves.

While the Sun moves through this fiery, mutable sign, we can take steps to increase our understanding and awareness of the world around us. We are more able to muster up the courage to expand our horizons and branch out into new ways of thinking. We can gain more confidence and optimism by focusing on the “big picture” as we move away from our focus on the details of mundane existence. Although we may be prone to overdoing our expectations, we have the opportunity to nurture our faith, hope, and vision during this cycle.

Tonight, the Moon enters Pisces at 11:06 PM EST, and then a First Quarter Moon occurs as the Sun in Sagittarius forms a square with the Moon in Pisces at 11:45 PM EST. There is a crisis theme surrounding any quarter Moon phase, as we feel compelled to take action. Shortly after, we become aware of how our actions affect those close to us, perhaps through trial and error. This can be a time of stress, clashing, and discord, but also of high energy, motivation, and growth.

The Moon continues its void period until 11:06 PM EST when it enters Pisces.

Sunday, NOVEMBER 22

The Sun and Mercury form minor challenging aspects to Mars this morning, pointing to the potential for too-quick judgments, statements, and decisions. We might be anxious to put something behind us, rushing decisions in the process. Instead of listening to what others have to say, we may end up interrupting them and making assumptions. These aspects produce some instigating, tense, or impatient elements to the morning. We might crave action but may not know where we want to direct this energy. Without a plan or direction, arguments or impatience can follow. The Moon spends the day in the sign of Pisces, however, and it becomes easier to go with the flow as the day advances. We’re more inclined to nurture and support one another.

Monday, NOVEMBER 23

A Neptune/Pisces theme quite dominates today’s energies. The Moon spends the day in Pisces, aligning with Neptune and harmonizing with Mercury, Pluto, and Jupiter. This Moon awakens our need for spiritual refreshment or escape of sorts. Ideally, this is a time for decompressing, winding down, and tapping into our intuition. We’re easily touched and swayed.

Venus forms a minor square to Neptune, and Mercury forms a trine to the planet. We should avoid glossing over the more realistic points, details, and flaws of circumstances and people if making important decisions. However, we’re tapping into our imagination and more readily work on hunches. We may easily sense others’ thoughts and feelings, and our words, musings, and ideas can be more imaginative and colorful, subtle, or creative. We experience a sense of knowing and understanding with minimal explanation or instruction. The day’s energies inspire fantasy and imagination. While we may not be direct, we see the way around obstacles. Today is strong for slowing down and taking things in.

Tuesday, NOVEMBER 24

The Moon continues its transit of Pisces until it moves into Aries at 10:04 AM EST. The Pisces Moon is compassionate and spiritual, generally encouraging an intuitive approach to the day. The Moon in Aries prompts the desire to initiate or start fresh. It’s typically bold and ready to take action, although sometimes impatient. We seek a fresh start now, and we’re quick to let go of the past–we want to start fresh or come first.

We can feel particularly hopeful and enthusiastic in the hours surrounding the Moon’s trine to the Sagittarius Sun this afternoon. We can enjoy increased clarity derived from a feeling that what we want and what we need are in harmony. We are more able to cooperate with others under this influence. The Moon’s alignment with Chiron this evening can pull up the need to deal with unresolved emotional matters. It’s a good time to explore our feelings about what it means to us to win or come first.

The void Moon occurs from 5:44 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Saturn), until the Moon enters Aries at 10:04 AM EST.

Wednesday, NOVEMBER 25

The Moon spends the day in the sign of Aries, aligning with Aries ruler, Mars, this evening. This transit awakens emotional desire and stimulates some level of urgency. We can be very quick (possibly too fast) to respond and react. An idea or feeling can get us going – all worked up and ready to take action!

This morning, however, Mercury and Venus form minor challenging aspects with Chiron, and insecurity might make it awkward for us to express ourselves or our affections naturally or flowingly. There could be feelings of discontent temporarily. The energies of the second half of the day are far more direct and straightforward.

Thursday, NOVEMBER 26

The Moon spends much of the day in the sign of pioneering Aries, forming some tense aspects with planets in Capricorn. We can be excited about our personal plans, although duties and ambitions can distract us, producing some tension.

With the Sun trine Chiron today, we’re open to learning and growing and not as inclined to worry about who’s right or wrong. Our egos don’t get in the way, helping us make real progress. This aspect encourages a holistic approach to problem-solving and points to opportunities to learn, grow, and improve, particularly through spontaneity, self-assertion, and courage. We’re putting our respect in the right places. A chance to find a sense of purpose or a mission can arise now, increasing our confidence. We also have a sense that we can put our thoughts or ideas into motion today.

A Mercury-Mars biquintile is especially clever energy for figuring things out and solving problems. We’re heading toward a Mercury-Pluto sextile that improves our ability to see more layers of a situation. The Moon ends its transit of Aries when it enters steady Taurus at 10:43 PM EST.

The void Moon occurs from 6:46 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Saturn), until the Moon enters Taurus at 10:43 PM EST.

Friday, NOVEMBER 27

Mercury forms a sextile to Pluto this morning, making it a powerful time to look more deeply into a matter. We benefit from being patient and strategic in our decision-making. We are willing to look beyond the surface of things. Conversations are probing, investigative, and meaningful, and we may come to an improved psychological understanding of our lives.

Midday, Venus opposes Uranus, and impulsive attractions to people, things, and even situations are likely. Some instability, restlessness, and rebelliousness can be themes in our social interactions. Unexpected events or feelings may take us off guard. Our needs for comfort and togetherness appear to clash with the desire to be free and independent. We can experience sudden infatuations, whether with people or material items, that later prove less appealing. It’s not a good time to start a significant financial undertaking or relationship — not until rebellious feelings pass, and we gain a better sense of how we honestly feel. Falling back on old patterns of relating won’t work now.

If we can separate rebellion from a sincere need for change, we might open ourselves to new ways of relating that accommodate our diverse needs. The Moon spends the day in Taurus, tapping into the Uranus in Taurus side of this Venus-Uranus opposition. This transit can tempt us to overindulge our whims. While we might crave companionship and independence, and these appear to be at odds now, a compromise is within reach.
