A SUNNY SUNDAY
A Sunny Sunday, November 23
Live in the moment today, and savor each tick of the clock. It is the last easy day we will have in awhile.
Animated Mercury entered swashbuckling Sagittarius last night, joining the Sun and Mars in the sign of the Archer.
They are all steaming into a triple-conjunction, tempting us to shoot from the hip.
This unfolds next week as radical Uranus turns direct and compelling Pluto enters Capricorn for a 16-year sojourn.
Seismic changes are brewing. It's four days and counting until the lid comes off.
Today, we might as well eat, drink, and be merry. The Moon is in lively Libra, stimulating our herding
instincts along with the mating urge.
People need people when the Moon is in Libra. And most folks are on their best behavior.
The Moon trines curative Chiron this morning, giving us a chance to make amends (if required) or to clear the
air.
This afternoon, we have to go with the flow but fortune favors the flexible. We are oozing into the Dark
of the Moon, low ebb in the lunar cycle when energy tails off.
Relax, unwind, and enjoy yourself. This evening, the Moon squares off with indulgent Jupiter,
and we'll have a yen for life's pleasures.
Tonight, we embark of a magical mystery tour as the Moon trines dreamy Neptune. It is a dandy time to unleash
your creativity or to cuddle up with your favorite pet.
A SOCIABLE SATURDAY
A Sociable Saturday, Nov. 22
Weekends were made for the Moon in Libra though they rarely coincide. This time, however, we are lucking
out.
The Moon pranced into lovable Libra last night after going void-of-course for all of 19 minutes. (For the
record, it was 3:02 AM to 3:21 AM EST.)
An hour later, the Moon sextiled the Sun -- their first contact with the Sun in Sagittarius. Everything's
coming up roses this morning, and we are looking on the bright side.
But if we're not out and about, we're on a hot tin roof. The Moon aligns with antsy Uranus and sextiles
motivating Mars before lunch. Fortune favors the forward -- a good time to break the ice.
This afternoon, we are left on hold. Mental Mercury enters Sagittarius tonight for a stay until December
12.
People will be more broad-minded -- and open to new possibilities. But the devil is in the details, and
we could overlook a fatal flaw.
That especially applies this afternoon while Mercury is void-of-course -- meaning it has lost contact with the
solar system. Allow for mix-ups and mental lapses.
But at least the mood is mellow. It is a good afternoon to hang out and to get acquainted. People
will be affable and good-natured (but don't expect clear thinking).
The beat goes on this evening -- a great time to go out on the town or to host a candlelight dinner for two.
In the wee hours, the Moon squares off with voluptuous Venus: The night owls will drop pretenses.

A FIERY FRIDAY
A Fiery Friday, November 21
The early birds are ready to rumble but they could be jumping the gun.
The Moon is in vigorous Virgo, and the Moon opposes ornery Uranus this morning. Watch for bolts from the
blue, bats out of hell, and outbreaks of misbehavior.
Hours later, however, the Moon conjoins sobering Saturn, and we come to our senses.
Jupiter trines Saturn today, which means the Moon kisses Jupiter, too, as it joins forces with Saturn.
Blessed are they who take the iniative (and manage to keep their cool).
We have major changes on the horizon. Uranus turns direct next week as Pluto enters Capricorn to stay.
Plus, there is a triple-conjunction of the Sun, Mercury, and Mars.
The Moon will trigger the energy when it joins the formation on November 27. This will be the New Moon,
when the Moon conjoins the Sun. Some things will never be the same again.
Watch for straws in the wind in the late morning hours, as the Moon sextiles mindful Mercury. Let it slide
this afternoon.
The Sun enters Sagittarius this afternoon, beginning the last third of Autumn. It will take ahwhile to
acclimatize. Don't overtax yourself.
It's mostly downhill this evening, as the Moon squares off with ponderous Pluto. Anticipate dark moods
and hard attitudes. The night owls will be grumpy.

AN EFFECTIVE THURSDAY
An Effective Thursday, Nov. 20
If you have projects to finish or a problem to fix, now is the time to take a hands-on approach. Don't
wait until next week because it won't be any easier.
Expansive Jupiter trines sobering Saturn tomorrow but the Force is with us today. This alignment is unspectacular
but slow and steady saves the day. It could also rescue the chestnuts.
The Moon is in virtuous Virgo -- people are serious, responsible, and well-intentioned. And they are willing
to cooperate.
Our easiest interval comes just before 1:45 PM EST (10:45 AM PST), when the Moon trines vibrant Venus.
On the whole, we'll be more approachable, even altruistic. It's a good time to ask a favor (or to offer an apology).
But strike while the iron's warm. After that, we will be on edge and some will be subject to mood swings.
It will be a good evening to take care of chores and to catch up on things you've been putting off. You
may not enjoy it but you'll hate it less.
The night owls can make inroads -- if they avoid losing their heads.
