A TROUBLED THURSDAY
A Troubled Thursday, Nov 12
We are running in circles as we get underway, and getting nowhere fast. The day begins with a void-of-course
Moon, and the Moon is in vituperative Virgo.
People have a lot to complain about but they might as well save their breath. As long as the Moon
is void-of-course, we are shoveling spit against the wind.
The void period ends at 12:22 PM ET (9:22 AM PT) when the Moon enters Libra, which usually brightens out outlook.
In time it will but not immediately.
Right after it enters Libra, the Moon conjoins brass tacks Saturn and squares off with bare knuckles Pluto.
People will be gruff, grudging, and going for the jugular. Fortune favors the saintly.
After that, there are no major contacts to intervene and we are dealing with the aftermath.
It will be a good evening to keep the peace and steer clear of troubled waters. Tomorrow is another day;
the night owls need to recuperate.

A WOOZY WEDNESDAY
A Woozy Wednesday, November 11
The early birds are on the move. Animated Mercury trines spontaneous Uranus this morning, and there's electricity
in the air.
Original thinkers will have a field day. But if you have places to go or people to see, earlier is better
than later.
The Moon is in vigilant Virgo: We're on the ball and sharp as tacks. But the day grows increasingly
foggy.
Mercury squares off with nebulous Neptune tonight but the influence builds by afternoon. People will be
addled, incoherent, and absent-minded -- but we need to pay attention.
This evening, the Moon opposes erratic Uranus, making folks antsy, impulsive, and accident prone.
In the wee hours, the Moon sextiles Mercury and we'll see the light. After that, however, the Moon is void-of-course:
In the East, the void Moon runs from 2:13 tonight until 12:22 tomorrow afternoon. (One hour earlier for
Central Time.)
On the West Coast, it's 11:13 PM to 9:22 AM tomorrow. (An hour later for Mountain Time.)
The night owls ought to lie low.

A TWINKLING TUESDAY
A Twinkling Tuesday, Nov 10
The early birds are asleep at the switch but it won't take long to snap out of it. We
begin with the Moon void-of-course in lazy Leo but that ends at 8:30 AM ET (5:30 PT) when the Moon strides into vigorous Virgo.
Right away, the Moon trines Pluto and we are rising to the challenge.
The Sun squares off with expansive Jupiter -- "no mountain's too high, no ocean's too deep," and no limb is too
long to go out on.
Motivating Mars trines forceful Pholus: Our energy's up, self-confidence is high, and we are ready to conquer
the world -- or make a conquest period.
This afternoon, the Moon sextiles lovable Venus as interactive Mercury trines conjugal Juno. Messages will
be well received and visitors warmly welcomed.
After that, we're riding the crest with no other influences to intervene -- and one to aid and abet. Mercury
trines liberating Uranus tomorrow but the alignment stimulates by nightfall.
It is a dandy evening to network, circulate, and open channels -- and to entertain new ideas. When Mercury
trines Uranus, if you "free your mind, the rest will follow." The night owls will go exploring.

A MAKESHIFT MONDAY
A Makeshift Monday, Nov 9
It's back to the salt mines this morning, and we'd rather be anyplace but where we have to be. The Last
Quarter Moon comes this morning, in 17 degrees of Leo.
Quarter Moons are energizers but this one could be provocative. The Moon opposes egregious Jupiter, inflating
hopes, exaggerating demands, and arousing appetites -- and inducing pipe dreams, too. People will be
careless, carefree, and lackadaisical.
This afternoon, however, it starts catching up, as the Moon squares manic Mercury. We'll be rushed, impatient,
and distracted. Make sure you heard it right; words could be taken wrong -- they might also open wounds.
About 90 minutes later, the Moon opposes recriminating Chiron as Mercury aligns with implacable Pluto.
Expect heavy thinking, hard bargaining, and wounded feelings. Sugar-coat statements and keep the kid gloves handy.
The Moon opposes sensitive Neptune, after which the Moon is void-of-course, and we all go nuts together.
In the East, the Moon is void-of-course from 9:43 PM to 8:30 tomorow morning. (One hour earlier for Central
Time.)
On the West Coast, it runs from 6:43 PM to 5:30 AM tomorrow. (An hour later for Mountain Time.)
It's a good evening to bow out gracefully and bolt the doors before you go to bed. The fruitcakes will
be out in force.

A SIZZLING SUNDAY
A Sizzling Sunday, Nov 8
It is the Day of the Sun on the astrological calendar (and the first day of the astological
week). And today, we are looking on the bright side.
The Moon is in sunny Leo, and mental Mercury squares indulgent Jupiter. All of which is a recipe for big
ideas, flights of fancy, and overblown oratory.
We're taking ourselves seriously this morning, as the Moon sextiles no-nonsense Saturn. The Sun semi-squared
Saturn overnight and it semi-squares Pluto this afternoon. These are "minor" aspects but they trigger the current square
between Saturn and Pluto.
Pluto rules hidden forces but they show themselves today. Watch for ripples in the middle of the day, as
the Moon and Pluto face off across the Equator. Some folks will be compulsive while others are possessed.
Voluptuous Venus slipped into sultry Scorpio yesterday; and tonight, Venus sextiles primal Pluto, the ruler of
Scorpio. Sextiles are "soft" contacts and they usually have nothing to do with sex -- but this one ignites the urge
to merge.
Sparks fly this evening as the Moon conjoins impetuous Mars, and trines forge-ahead Pholus. People will
be spunky, flirtatious, and playful (though some will play rough).
Put indoor sports on the after hours agenda. The night owls will feel athletic.
