This Week’s sky - 11/25/24
Wait Bearing
Nov 25 through dec 1
You can enhance your understanding by applying the Houses these signs and Planets are falling into in your Natal Chart. I am happy to help you with figuring that out, at no cost to you— just shoot me an email!!
Mercury Retrograde: Mercury will retrograde on November 25th. This retrograde will create frustration and disarray that challenges our usual protocols. In this case, Mercury in Sagittarius will more readily offer perspectives and insight into the greater meaning behind life. So we will cope with these frustrations better than usual. Mercury is debilitated in Sagittarius which diminishes it’s ability to be disruptive, but it also diminishes the ability of the planet to operate in the first place. So we can take these disruptive small situations and promptly import perspective. Perspective is important for positive thinking, but Mercury is about impartial thinking. Now this passage on Mercury Opposition Jupiter is the perfect place to pick up.
Mercury Opposition Jupiter: This aspect peaked ‘round midnight November 17th. With Mercury going retrograde this aspect will build and perfect again the morning of Wednesday December 4th. Then after Mercury stations direct and continues forward we will see this aspect perfect for the last time on December 26th. So these dates will tell there own little story. This will be an integral set of dates for the remainder of the year.
Mercury and Jupiter are in each others’ home signs. It's like a Commercial Pilot and a Nascar Driver trying to do each other’s job while on the phone with each other; talking to each other through it. There is a strong awareness to how small changes in our methods of relating and communicating are representative of enormous shifts. We are objective about subjectivity; more objective about subjectivity. The current political atmosphere is indicative of this information flipping. Someone like RFK Jr. is primed to challenge American healthcare systems with “alt” ideas related to vaccines and unpasteurized milk. Whether or not he’s right or qualified is another thing. Vaccines and milk have “foreign” (Jupiter) bodies that enter our systems. We are primed to take a new examination on those facts and data. Subjective about objectives. Being objective about subjectives would be seeing how the appeal to the working class was the key to this election, and how the “Party of the People” managed to lose that election. Again, no opinions about these things; this is the situation we are in. We must be objective about the culture (Jupiter, subjectivity) of Americans and be objective about their values. The DNC just simply did not make the decisions to win this election.
Adding the Mercury retrograde will see this story coincide with the shifts to our routines, mental patterns, and the function of the body’s channels. This transit cycle will be more important to Mutable signs [Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces].
Through Interpersonal situations and our manners of relating: How do the cultures we reside in impact our logical mind? What messages are we trying to deliver?
Remember to check your Sagittarius and Gemini Houses, which will be opposite each other and thus are two areas of life which directly depend and relate to each other.
New Moon in Sagittarius: Occurring at 1:20 AM EST on Sunday, December 1st this New Moon sets new intentions in an area of life which seeks understanding, positivity, and freedom. The Mind and Body connection in heightened here allow us to connect our desire for expansion with our need for meaning. What guiding principles do you posses? How might they change around this time? Our intention for this New Moon is influenced by our goals. We may find a new task gives us the means to implement a refreshed philosophy and perspective.
Mars Trine the Sun: This aspect starts strong this week and perfects before daybreak on Nov 27th. Mars offers extra heat and energy to the Sun with both planets in Fire signs. This creates a functional situation for extra fire. Our instinct and impulses are right there supporting our inspiration and expressions. This aspect will strongly color the New Moon as well.
Venus Trine Uranus: This aspect builds this week and perfects the morning of December 2nd. There will be more aesthetic consideration and need for ease put into our collective mentality this week. The pragmatic approach to harmonization that Venus in Capricorn has created is imported toward Uranus. We will find the leaders in aesthetics will influence the ongoing restructuring to thoughts on resources. For instance, a pragmatic approach to holiday decoration which is more financially feasible. This is a lovely aspect for something like Thanksgiving. American culture is so gluttonous and we can expect to see displays of reserve, frugality, or efficiency. It may simply be some humor about something like gluttony which will come up in more tense settings when Venus makes its Square to Uranus when it [Venus] is in Aquarius.
*The date ranges reflect the Moon being a majority in the given sign during a 5am-11:59pm EST range. Moon Signs naturally set each other up for a successful procession through life's subtle developments. The Moon functions as a catalyst and distributor of the energies from the other Celestial bodies.
Moon in Libra - Nov 25-27: We engage more connection and harmonization from our emotional center.
Moon in Scorpio - Nov 28-29: The emotional center is stirred up that we might face something kept deep.
Moon in Sagittarius - Nov 30-Dec 1: The New Moon. These Moons, we bode for more freedom and understanding.
Wait Bearing. So Bearing weight, like holding only something. Bearing is also a nautical word related to directionality or orientation. Wait of course, a homophone of weight. In this case, we are having to wait out a re-orientation.
The sign of Sagittarius, in one aspect, is about thorough self-discovery through exploration. How we adapt to situations while feeling confident; with the ego in tact.
This is a week for beginning stages of re-orientation. Following your North Star. Your Bliss.
This is a week to really start following that which gives your life.
