Happy Thanksgiving! We are officially in the middle of the fall season, after a very intense summer with Mars retrograde, Mercury retrograde, five outer planet retrogrades, three eclipses and major portal openings. A lot of the energies were felt internally as frustration, delays, anger and being triggered. It has been a time of major examination of who you are, where you live, what you do for a living and who you know. Are you in alignment for your highest good? I know many people who moved out of state in the last month. Sudden departures, new jobs, deeper relationships or endings, new bursts of creativity and a craving for a new adventure. Looking at your life from a new perspective brings new opportunities and a renewal of magic. Have you experienced people from your past showing up? Whatever needs healing and completion will show up now. Clean the slate and get prepared for a brand new chapter. Good time to journal, be in nature, meditate, explore your creativity and think outside the box. For those self-employed, try a new angle with your business that brings joy and challenge. Get out of your comfort zone and be willing to experiment in areas that you have no experience.
Venus goes direct in Libra after 6 weeks retrograde in Scorpio. What did you learn about your relationships? Did you uncover your deep truths about your relationship needs, creativity, money? Venus is how we attract things to us. We learn that if we open up our heart more, all our needs will be met. This was a good time to let go of outdated beliefs about what we deserve. Burning rituals are great for letting go of the past and begin with a new slate.
Mercury will go retrograde on November 16th. Good time to clean out your closets and files, organize your office, reflect on new ideas, edit your book, make sure your electronics and cars are in working order. It is very common for breakdowns with technology and communications during this period. Be clear, patient and don’t overreact.
Uranus cruises back into Aries until April 2019. Time to clean up any frantic, overwhelming behavior that has crept into your life the past 7 years. Uranus the revolutionary has stirred the pot and we are all wanting some peace and grounded reality. The next 4 months may reveal some unexpected outcomes to the explosive, ranting behavior of our current politicians ( nothing else needs to be said).
Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn both want results. There is focus, tenacity and strong will power to take advantage of. We have done major excavations of our soul over the past year and there appears to be a lightness of being ready to emerge. Very productive and purposeful time. This is the year to be of service in a new way. 2018 numerologically is the 11 vibration which is a master number. Time to show up in a bigger way. Not a time to hide your talents or say someday i will do that. Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn persevere with sheer determination and tenacity. Procrastination is not part of the equation. Pluto in Capricorn is the planet that cuts to the core and weeds out what is no longer needed. It is essential to pay attention to your inner divining rod! Now is the time for reclaiming the magic in our lives and opening up to possibilities that seemed unlikely. The energies on the planet are intense and are teaching us to flow instead of forcing the river. Allowing and Accepting, will align us with Neptune (the divine). Time to break out of boxes that are so out of date and keeping you small. Time to bring your life into present time. The baggage needs to go. We are lightening our load and the vibrancy of the new reality cannot occur with denseness of the past. Listen to your soul and check in to see what your dreams are telling you. Many people are feeling a need to move, break out of relationships, change careers and live differently. Have you been feeling overwhelmed? Exhausted? Sensitive to energies? Join the club. Make sure you exercise and get out in nature. Grounding is especially crucial during this shake-up.
Full Moon is November 23 in Gemini and New Moon is November 7 in Scorpio.
URANUS in Taurus! Uranus is the planet of revolution, change, awakening, sudden intuitive hits, and innovation. Uranus in Aries has spent the last seven years activating the world in warrior fashion. Chaos, upheaval, rebellion, protests have occurred to change the world. Now that Uranus is in Taurus, the way in which change takes place will be on a very different vibration. Taurus is one sign that does not like change. It wants comfort, security and money in the bank. Uranus will rebel in the world of money, fashion, business, beauty and security. How we view our own security can change directions. Uranus wants to be free from being tied down. We will find unique ways to create businesses, new trends with fashion, less conservative tastes, more color in homes and unique housing villages getting launched. This seven year phase will get the ball moving with intentional housing communities for the baby boomer generation. Good time to create your own trend and not follow others. Let your unique artistic style stand out. The energy we experience in a Uranian transit, can affect our bodies with lots of nervous energy, anxiety, insomnia and a feeling of being in a blender. Clearing out the inner clutter will open up new territories that have not been discovered before. It is important to ground yourself during these times with yoga, hikes and psychic protection techniques.
Saturn in Capricorn
Saturn, the taskmaster is in the sign Capricorn until December 2020. Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn and is very comfortable here. Saturn loves structure, discipline and commitment. Capricorn loves accomplishing, respect, goals and status. This is a very good time to bring your goals into reality and work hard to accomplish. While Saturn was traveling through Sagittarius the past two and half years, we were looking at possibilities and exploring. Now it’s time to do the dirty work. Capricorn is an earth sign and needs to move in small increments. Create a goal chart or any system that can track your success. Look in your chart to see what house Saturn is traveling through and this will show where you need to get it together.
Jupiter enters Sagittarius November 7th
Jupiter, the planet of expansion and luck begins a year long journey through Sagittarius, the sign of travel, knowledge and humor. What a great combo- the ruler of Sagittarius in its own sign. This is a year to explore your options, travel to exotic countries, move to another country, learn a foreign language, get out of your comfort zone, start believing your own philosophy, grow, think bigger and open to new positive energy. Look where Jupiter is traveling in your chart and that will be the area that needs expanding, upgrading and growth. For example: Jupiter traveling through your 3rd house (good time to write a book), 4th house (good time to move, renovate or sell your home) and 10th house ( time for a promotion, career change, to make a debut).
Mercury in Sagittarius November 1- January 2019
Mercury the messenger visits fiery, optimistic Sagittarius. Mercury the communicator loves to share their knowledge in Sagittarius. During this time period, explore new ideas, make travel plans, write, give a speech, improvise, be spontaneous, find your humor and laugh. Sagittarians are the jokesters of the zodiac. This is a time to broaden your horizons and make long term plans. Mercury will go retrograde on November 16th for three weeks. Be careful about signing contracts and be clear with your words. Do not assume people will understand your text or that they even received your message. Check in and ask for clarity. Travel plans best made before it goes retrograde.
Venus in Scorpio September 9 - January 2019
Venus the goddess of love visits passionate, intense Scorpio. The seductress prances around in her burgundy velvet gown waiting for her suitor. Good time to enhance your sex life!

This is the sign of all or nothing, death/rebirth, yes/no, magic, psychology, creativity, intrigue and mystery. Venus is about love, attraction, values, creativity and money. During this time period, expressing your love intensely will be highlighted. Do you love your work? Are you connected in your partnership? Are you expressing your creativity? Major topics for this four month journey.
Venus in Scorpio Retrograde October 5 - November 15th
During this retrograde window, we are being asked to reflect on all of our relationships and our values. Since the retrograde is occurring in Scorpio, some of the questions will be: Are we connecting? Am i getting my needs met? Is this my soul tribe? It will either be a yes or a no! This is not a time for grey. You will be examining your friendships to see if you are aligned and supported in a positive way. This is a transformational time in relationships to let go of the walls that are in the way of really getting seen and heard. A time of true intimacy if you are willing to surrender and open your heart. A lot of people may be uncomfortable with the intensity of emotions that surface during this period. Issues may be about sexual needs, money, power, passion, and traumatic history. Find a way to let go of which is taking up important real estate in your soul!
Mars in Aquarius May 15 - November 15
Mars the planet of desire visits airy, eccentric Aquarius. Mars will have an unusually long visit through Aquarius due to the retrograde happening at the end of June. Mars in Aquarius wants to rebel, protest and strike out into new territory. This is a very independent combo. Mars is your energy, drive, anger and men. Aquarius is an intellectual, unique, progressive, humanitarian sign. When these two join forces, you have innovation and electrical energy. Do something new! Go out into the community and meet new people. This is good for activist, progressive movements.
Mars in Pisces November 15 - January 1
Mars the planet of desire visits watery, dreamy Pisces. Mars gets to relax and escape in this placement. You will feel pulled to play music, create art, meditate, dance, swim, spend lots of time at the ocean and simply not feel too driven. Mars rules energy, drive, anger and men. Pisces rules romance, spirituality, the divine, escapism, delusion, imagination, dreams and compassion. A good month to put energy into creating your dreams. You could make a vision board, paint your walls, turn a room into a sanctuary, go on a retreat and tune into the magic. Intuition increases and the gentle whispers will guide you.
SCORPIO BIRTHDAY SPECIAL $25 OFF Expires November 30th.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCORPIO!
Scorpio is a fixed water sign ruled by the planet Pluto. The energy of Scorpio is often penetrating, intense and mysterious. They want to find out your secrets without revealing their own. They are drawn to professions such as Psychologists, Healers, Surgeons, Doctors, Artists, and Detectives. Scorpio delves into the depths of the soul looking for hidden treasures. This sign can be extreme: black/white, love/hate, passionate/detached. You can always count on a Scorpio to be there in a crisis or life/death situations. Their lesson is to let go and trust in the universe.
