A TOUCHY TUESDAY
A Touchy Tuesday, Nov 24
We sally forth with good intentions but the drawbridge is stuck in place. The Sun sextiles stalwart Saturn
and the Moon is in idealistic Aquarius. But the Moon is void-of-course until 11:09 AM EST (8:09 PT). Allow for
delays, no-shows, and snafus.
The period ends as the Moon enters Pisces, and exposes our insecurities. Minutes after it enters Pisces,
the Moon opposes vestal Vesta. People will be reserved and reticent but the surface calm is misleading.
The Moon opposes empowering Pluto, and still waters bubble over. We are rising to the occasion, and some
of us are setting records.
The First Quarter Moon comes this afternoon, in 3 degrees of impassioned Pisces. Quarter Moons are energizers
but they rattle cages. This one could open the floodgates.
We are extra sensitive with the Moon in Pisces. People feel vulnerable and they are easily discouraged;
some will feel threatened.
Vulnerable Venus squares acriminious Chiron tonight. If you want to leave woulds, now's the time to scratch.
Fortune favors the peace-makers but the night owls will rattle skeletons.
A MAVERICK MONDAY
A Maverick Monday, Nov 23
There's extra snap in the crackle and pop this morning, and it's enough to bite your head off. The Moon
is in ornery Aquarius, and the Moon opposes combative Mars before dawn.
People are hair-triggered and in a hurry but many are accident prone. The Moon aligns with negligent Neptune,
and a careless moment could be catastrophic.
Mobile Mercury conjoins sally-forth Pholus, instilling the courage to wade in -- or strike off on our own.
But some folks are going out on a limb or living beyond their means.
Lavish Venus squares indulgent Jupiter, tempting us to go whole hog (or to live high off it). This is a
"hard" contact between two softies -- Venus, the lesser benefic and Jupiter, the greater benefic. They only
kill with kindness.
Some folks will feel the urge to splurge, others the urge to merge. But we could be indiscriminate, only
to regret it later.
This afternoon, it's eat, drink, and be merry as the Moon squares off with Venus and conjoins Jupiter.
Some will squeeze in some extracurricular coupling.
Uncharted waters are alluring but this evening we're adrift in a fog. The Moon conjoins hypnotic Neptune: Some
will succumb to the siren's song, most will be lost in space. After falling under Neptune's spell, the Moon is void-of-course:
In the East, it runs from 10:36 PM to 11:09 tomorrow morning. (Onwe hour earlier for Central Time.)
On the West Coast, it's 7:36 PM to 8:09 AM tomorrow. (An hour later for Mountain Time.)
These void periods are unpredictable but we are more spontaneous than usual. It is a great time to unleash
your creativity or let down your hair. The night owls will be uninhibited.
A SUNNY SUNDAY
A Sunny Sunday, November 22
The weather outside might be frightful but, astrologically, it's delightful -- or at least a definite turn for
the better.
This is our first full day with the Sun in Sagittarius, the sign ruled by jolly Jupiter, the cosmic Santa.
We're beginning to conjure up the spirit of the season.
The Moon is in airy Aquarius, which stimulates our herding instincts. People will be gregarious and sociable
despite some early grouchiness as the Moon lines up with grumpy Mars and peevish Pluto.
After that, we are in the clear -- and there is nowhere to go but onward and upward.
This afternoon, the Moon aligns with convivial Venus, and we'll take pleasure in each other's company.
Bon vivants will be out in droves. It's a dandy day to circulate and hang out with friends.
The beat goes on tonight. The Moon sextiles animated Mercury and lines up with Jupiter. People will
be open-minded and upbeat.
After that, the Moon sextiles forceful Pholus -- a "soft" contact; we can take it or leave it. But many
will elect to forge ahead, and fortune favors the bold.

A SAGGING SATURDAY
A Sagging Saturday, Nov 21
We are getting off on the right foot, at least. The Moon is in even keel Capricorn, and the Moon sextiles
stimulating Uranus this morning.
People are on the go and reaching out. The Moon also sextiles the asteroid Juno, and we are in the mood
to conjugate.
But thanks to a minor semi-square between vibrant Venus and stand-offish Saturn, we'll be increasingly antisocial.
Plus, the Sun is changing signs and we're caught in the switch. The Sun enters Sagittarius tonight to kick
off the holiday season. But until it makes the change at 11:23 PM EST, vitality is lacking.
Roll with the punches, go with the flow, and don't try to push the river. People will be pensive, preoccupied,
and too pooped to pucker.
This evening, the Moon is briefy void-of-course but it passes in the blink of an eye:
In the East, the void Moon lasts from 10:04 PM to 10:11 PM. (One hour earlier for Central Time.)
On the West Coast, it's 7:04 PM to 7:11 PM. (An hour later for Mountain Time.)
The interval ends as the Moon enters Aquarius and delivers an energy infusion. A few hours later, the Moon
trines Saturn -- hardly glamorous but a good time to repair the damage. The night owls will be sensible.
