Venus enters Sagittarius

Venus is in Sagittarius from November 1-November 25 2019. Moving from Scorpio to Sagittarius, romantic energy shifts from intense to buoyant. Sagittarius, of course, has its intense moments, considering it is a fire sign. However, its energy is considerably less focused; and, while Scorpio is most concerned with intimacy with a specific person, Sagittarius’ love is of a more universal kind. Romantic adventures, as well as a straightforward–even blunt–approach to love, are on the agenda. Gone are the intricacy and complexity of Venus in Scorpio. Truth and higher meaning are things that take priority with Sagittarius.

Saturn sextile Neptune.

Saturn at 16° Capricorn 01’  forms a sextile with Neptune at 16° Pisces 01′ on November 8th, 2019. This is the third and final in a set of three such aspects while Saturn is in Capricorn.

With this longer-term aspect, Saturn’s discipline can help bring structure or meaning to our dreams and ideals. At the same time, Neptune’s acceptance and devotion can help bring new meaning to our work, traditions, and customs. It’s easier to enjoy a sense of purpose in our lives with this influence. We can feel as if our spiritual and material goals harmonize. Circumstances and our own attitudes facilitate following through on our dreams or turning our visions and dreams into reality. Combining imagination and effort is successful now. There can be a sense that our dreams are realizable, and we can build stronger faith and acceptance.

Saturn sextile Neptune dates:

1st: on January 31st, 2019, at 14° Capricorn 55′ (first)

2nd: on June 18th, 2019, at 18° Capricorn 44’Rx

3rd: November 8th, 2019, at 16° Capricorn 01’ (final)

 

 

The Moon is Full in Taurus on November 12, 2019, at 8:35 AM EST.

The Full Moon in Taurus marks the beginning of a new cycle.

This phase of the Moon occurs at 19 degrees and 52 minutes of Taurus, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 16 to 24 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) most significantly.

Mars enters Scorpio

Mars is in Scorpio from November 19, 2019 – January 3, 2020. In Scorpio, Mars is driven and focused on getting what it wants. We are persevering, single-minded, and strong. The desire to experience our emotional depths, as well as the urge to penetrate the surface of life in order to explore deeper levels of existence, is powerful. We are fascinated with what others tend to repress, and are drawn to experiencing and understanding these things. We are less inclined to avoid important issues now. In some ways, we are attracted to crisis, as we see crisis as transformative and emotionally exciting. We would rather feel extreme emotions than nothing at all, as mediocrity or the “middle road” is felt to be unsatisfying.

Mercury now turns direct at 11° Scorpio 36′ after a few weeks of retrograde motion.

 

Mercury is retrograde from October 31, 2019, at 27° Scorpio 37′, until November 20, 2019, at 11° Scorpio 36.

Sun enters Sagittarius

Sun is in Sagittarius from November 22-December 21, 2019.

With the Sun in Sagittarius, our focus shifts from the need for an intimate connection with a person and with 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 under this influence.

Venus enters Capricorn

Venus is in Capricorn from November 25-December 20 2019. Getting serious about our finances and boosting our relations with business partners and/or co-workers will be easier than usual under this influence. Our talents for creating artistic structure and form are enhanced, and our ability to form connections with people who support our ambitions is increased. We value enduring connections, reliability, and faithfulness. We take expressing our feelings seriously, and we take our time to warm up to others. We generally keep our “cool” in relationships.

The Moon is New in Sagittarius on November 26, 2019, at 10:06 AM EST.

The New Moon in Sagittarius marks the beginning of a new cycle.

This phase of the Moon occurs at 4 degrees and 3 minutes of Sagittarius, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 0 to 8 degrees of the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) most significantly.

Neptune now turns direct at 15° Pisces 55′ after several months of retrograde motion.

 

Jupiter enters Capricorn

Jupiter is in Capricorn from December 2, 2019-.

 

Mercury enters Sagittarius

Mercury is in Sagittarius from December 9-December 28 2019. When Mercury is in Sagittarius, our thinking shifts from a need to plumb the depths of any given situation to the desire to learn about a wide range of topics. Ideals are sought, our thinking is more optimistic, and our faith increases. We are more equipped to believe and to persuade. What is fair and unfair concerns us most now. However, we are not always very precise under this influence.

The Moon is Full in Gemini on December 12, 2019, at 12:13 AM EST.

The Full Moon in Gemini marks the beginning of a new cycle.

The Gemini Moon exactly opposes the Sagittarius Sun. The Gemini-Sagittarius polarity is a mental axis, where Gemini represents the “lower mind” and Sagittarius represents the “higher mind”. A Gemini Moon encourages us to think logically, while Sagittarius persuades us to think in a far broader manner. Sagittarius symbolizes the quest for meaning and ideas that expand upon the here and now. Gemini is quite comfortable in his or her immediate environment or neighborhood, while Sagittarius stimulates us to venture beyond. Neglecting either end of the axis will surely backfire on us. Ideally, a balance should be found between the two energies, and this is what the Full Moon invites us to do. This Full Moon is about communication, attitude, and sense of adventure. Something has been building inside of us, and now is the time when the energy of the cosmos fairly demands that we let it out. Over the next two weeks, we will discover what this means for us. For now, we can’t sit on our feelings. We need to express them.

The Full Moon is a time of culmination and the promise of fulfillment of that which was started at the New Moon. It is an emotional time–a time of romance, fertilization, and relationships. With the Moon full and bright in the sky, symbolic “illumination” occurs in our own lives. However, these feelings and revelations are emotional ones, as there is a sense of emotions bursting forth into our consciousness. It’s time to express ourselves, and to let things out of our systems. Of course, we might want to exercise some care while doing so, knowing that what is coming out of us is not particularly rational as yet.

This Full Moon is square Neptune and occurs when Mars forms a trine to Neptune. As well, Venus is aligned with (in between) Saturn and Pluto. Mars trine Neptune is creative, visionary, and intuitive. However, Venus feels a little trapped.

A somewhat problematic but intuitive and creative Full Moon.

This phase of the Moon occurs at 19 degrees and 52 minutes of Gemini opposite the Sun at 19 degrees 52 minutes of Sagittarius, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 16 to 24 degrees of the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) most significantly.

Venus enters Aquarius

Venus is in Aquarius from December 20, 2019-January 13, 2020.

We move towards unconventionality, independence, and freedom as themes in our social relationships under this influence. Aquarius can be just as faithful as Capricorn, but it has to be on his own terms! Experimental relationships are more intriguing now. Being friends as well as lovers is important to us during this cycle. Allowing one another freedom of expression, and treating others fairly, unselfishly, and impartially, are themes now.

Sun enters Capricorn

Sun is in Capricorn from December 21, 2019-January 20, 2020.

We are motivated by feelings of responsibility, ambition, and respect for law and order. Capricorn derives much satisfaction in completion and accomplishment. Standards, structures, and an appreciation for order are Capricorn themes. Capricorn wants tangible results, knows what is feasible and what is not, and is most comfortable working within an established framework and known boundaries or limits. Working towards a long-term goal is most satisfying with this influence.

The Moon is New in Capricorn on December 26, 2019, at 12:13 AM EST. This lunation is an Annular Solar Eclipse.

A Solar Eclipse occurs on Thursday, December 26, 2019, at 4 degrees and 7 minutes of Capricorn. Its effects can be felt up to six months after the actual date of the eclipse. In the Saturn-ruled sign of Capricorn, public life, career, reputation, achievement, and accountability are a strong focus. This eclipse is about new beginnings regarding all of these matters.

This is a time for setting practical, attainable goals; working on developing maturity and common sense in the personality; considering the future, and preparing for it; focusing on concrete ways of developing self- discipline and self-mastery; finding ways to give satisfying form to wishes; making commitments and recognizing responsibilities; accepting that we are limited, and that, ironically, some of our limitations truly free us to explore deeper dimensions of experience by offering us a secure foundation, and nurturing our dreams in a realistic fashion.

Capricorn teaches us that recognizing our limitations actually frees us to focus on what matters, where we are, who we are, and where we want to go. With the potent Capricorn energy of the Solar Eclipse, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives that will benefit us well beyond this Moon cycle. For some of us, circumstances are such that we need to pay more attention to these matters. Flaws in an important system in our lives are revealed around the time of the eclipse, prompting us to redo or to start fresh. Something ends in order for something else to start anew. We may be called to give up something in order to move forward into a new chapter in our lives. Although the “new” may be unrecognizable, it is important to allow the necessary surrender to the unknown.

The eclipse point itself is aligned with Jupiter and forms a harmonious trine to Uranus, and there can be a real sense of excitement, progress, growth, improvement, relief, and release along with our new beginnings now.

Major developments in the personal areas ruled by Capricorn in our charts are likely to occur over the course of the next 3-6 months. However, because this is part of a series of eclipses falling in Cancer-Capricorn, we can extend this range further. The first eclipse falling along this axis happened in July 2018, and the last one will occur in July 2020. Previous times eclipses occurred along this axis were July 2009-January 2011, July 2000-June 2002, July 1990-December 1992, and July 1981-June 1983. Read more about eclipses here.

Mercury enters Capricorn

Mercury is in Capricorn from December 28 2019-January 16 2020. When Mercury is in Capricorn, our thinking is methodical and our focus is sober and practical. It is easier to concentrate on the task at hand under this influence. Our conversations may be quite realistic or focused on business/practical matters. Our thought patterns and communication styles become more logical, orderly, and organized. We are more able to sort out what is relevant and essential. Realism enters the picture, our speech is no-nonsense, and precision becomes important to us. We need to be wary of becoming too rigid in our thinking. We may come across as cold or harsh. For some, there is a fine line between realism and pessimism.

Mars enters Sagittarius

Mars is in Sagittarius from January 3-February 16, 2020. With a Sagittarius Mars, our actions are motivated by our ideals. We are bothered by routine, quickly becoming restless if we feel confined. We have a love of adventure, and of conquest–this is the position of wanderlust. We start projects or challenges with gusto, although we may tend to abandon them rather quickly. This may be because we set our sights too high!

The Moon is Full in Cancer on January 10, 2020, at 2:21 PM EST. This is a Lunar Eclipse.

 

This phase of the Moon occurs at 20 degrees and 0 minutes of Cancer opposite the Sun at 20 degrees 00 minutes of Capricorn, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 15 to 25 degrees of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) most significantly.

Uranus turns Direct

On January 10th, 2020, Uranus turns direct at 2 degrees and 39 minutes of Taurus after a retrograde cycle that began on August 11, 2019.

 

Uranus Retrograde Cycle from August 11, 2019 to January 10, 2020:

 

Venus enters Pisces

Venus is in Pisces from January 13-February 7, 2020. Pisces never sees the world in black-and-white terms. Rather, Pisces sees all the colors of the rainbow. With the goddess of love in Pisces, our love is all-embracing, we are able to forgive and understand, we are seducible and seductive, and we show compassion to our partners. Venus in Pisces is tender and affectionate, although hard to reach nevertheless, as there is a longing for something that is hard to define and hard to satisfy. Borders and boundaries blur under Venus in Pisces. The shadow side of this position is allowing ourselves to be victimized or deluded, as well as evasiveness.

Mercury enters Aquarius

Mercury is in Aquarius from January 16-February 3 2020. When Mercury is in Aquarius, we are hungry for knowledge and open to new and original ideas. We begin to think outside of the box, and our thinking becomes more progressive and objective. Our communication and thought patterns are spontaneous, somewhat fragmented, and liberal. This is a time when inventive thinking is at a peak.

 

Sun enters Aquarius

Sun is in Aquarius from January 20-February 18 2020. During this cycle, we are motivated by our hunger for knowledge, experience, and originality. Innovation is more important to us than convention. We become more aware of what is outdated in our lives, and strive to find new perspectives and new ways to do things. The class distinctions, structure, and order that Capricorn finds appealing now seem to be too rigid. The freedom of the individual becomes far more significant to us. We strive to free ourselves from some of the restrictions, inhibitions, and limitations that now feel constraining rather than safe.

 

The Moon is New in Aquarius on January 24, 2020, at 4:43 PM EST.

The New Moon in Aquarius marks the beginning of a new cycle. The Capricorn New Moon cycle ends and the Aquarius New Moon cycle begins. In the sign of Aquarius, friendship, brotherhood, group activities, social pursuits, group projects, trying something new, humanitarian efforts, or joining a group will be a strong focus. New beginnings regarding any or all of these matters are possible now.

This is a time during which we should solve problems that require thinking “outside of the box”; look to the future with a brand new, positive, and hopeful vision; brainstorm and socialize; focus on extending a friendly hand, receiving support, and expressing platonic love for those around us; give our emotions and passions a “break”, as we develop more objectivity and some detachment from past haunts; learn how something (or someone) works; revitalize ourselves through experiences that are new or simply different; reach out to people in our social circle and in our community, and recognize the value of our friendships and social networks; recognize that some level of detachment and distancing ourselves from our habits and attachment to the past will help us break away from destructive behaviors that are holding us back. With this potent Aquarius energy, we have the chance to make progressive changes in our lives. For some of us, circumstances are such that we need to pay more attention to these matters.

 

This phase of the Moon occurs at 4 degrees and 22 minutes of Aquarius, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 0 to 8 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) most significantly.

Mercury enters Pisces

Mercury is in Pisces from February 3-March 4 2020. When Mercury is in Pisces, our thinking processes are more visual, intuitive, and imaginative. We are especially attuned to the world of emotion, which colors both our thoughts and our communication style. We guess well, express ourselves with imagery, and make decisions intuitively. We are more attracted to consciousness-raising information.

Venus enters Aries

Venus is in Aries from February 7 to March 4, 2020. In Aries, love is spontaneous and direct. The chase is very exciting to us under this fiery influence. We are bold, fresh, and a little impatient when it comes to matters of the heart. We don’t look back with Aries energy. We are not interested in saying sorry or dwelling on the past. It’s a brand new day! It’s time to make things work right now.

Aries is known for a love of the chase and the conquest, but Aries love can be longstanding as long as it remains relatively fresh. Aries is blunt–there’s no sugar-coating with Aries. This can sting, but rarely is Aries energy mean or petty. Saying it like it is is important to Aries. Desires are strong and expressed spontaneously, enthusiastically, and directly. Aries prefers to seduce rather than be seduced, to chase rather than be chased.

The Moon is Full in Leo on February 9, 2020, at 2:34 AM EST.

The Full Moon in Leo marks the beginning of a new cycle.

 

This phase of the Moon occurs at 20 degrees and 0 minutes of Leo, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 16 to 24 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) most significantly.

Mars enters Capricorn

Mars is in Capricorn from February 16-March 30, 2020.

Mars in Capricorn is deliberate, persistent energy. We consider the future and the consequences before taking action during this cycle. Our energy is reliable and faithful. We are slow to anger but can be quite cold if we are frustrated. The shadow side of Mars in Capricorn is rigidity.

Mercury now turns retrograde at 12° Pisces 53′.

Mercury is retrograde from February 16, 2020, at 12° Pisces 53, until March 9, 2020, at 28° Aquarius 13.

The shadow period begins on February 2, 2020, and ends on March 29, 2020.

Mercury Retrograde Cycle from February 16 to March 9, 2020:

 

Sun enters Pisces

Sun is in Pisces from February 18-March 19, 2020. With the Sun in Pisces, we are guided by altruistic feelings. We are less motivated to do than we are to feel, imagine, and dream. A “what will be, will be” attitude reigns, and we are guided by a sense of universal correlations. Pisces rules empathy, selfless love, devotion, and wisdom. Its shadow side rules self-pity, a feeling of being victimized by life, passivity, and elusiveness.

The Moon is New in Pisces on February 23, 2020, at 10:32 AM EST.

The following is the New Moon astrological chart wheel for this Pisces New Moon.

The New Moon in Pisces marks the beginning of a new cycle. The Aquarius New Moon cycle ends and the Pisces New Moon cycle begins. The New Moon in Pisces is a good time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Fish. These include taking a leap of faith, accepting imperfections in ourselves and in others as a different kind of “perfection,” starting a project that requires imagination and visualization skills, consciously putting time aside for peaceful and rejuvenating activities, and sharing a dream with another. With this potent Pisces energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives.

This New Moon is especially creative and forward-looking with its harmonious aspects to Mars, the Nodes of the Moon, and Uranus.

This phase of the Moon occurs at 4 degrees and 29 minutes of Pisces, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 0 to 8 degrees of the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) most significantly.
