What's more important than diarrhea?

Peace of mind must be more important than diarrhea.  Think of all the things you’ll stop doing immediately if you have diarrhea.  Now think of the stressful too muchness you’ll participate in to the point of  losing your mind!  Say, “excuse me I have diarrhea” and stop!

I’m taking a December holiday so I’ve given your horoscope for the whole month.  I’ll be back in January with your 2014 forecast!

The New Moon in Capricorn on December 2nd starts the month off on a note of cool-headed caution and a chance to slow the pace.  Integrity always wins over expediency with Capricorn.  

We’re lifting our horizons, drying our wings, and taking flight as adventurous spirits.  Messenger Mercury will be jumping to sometimes brilliant conclusions in fiery Sagittarius beginning Wednesday, December 4th.  He’ll race through Sagittarius in a short 19 days, unlike the more than two chilly months he had us swimming through Scorpio’s depths, thinking about profound issues and searching for solutions.  Our answers now come from the higher mind.  Our words sing at a higher octave.   

Warrior Mars puts on the robes of justice in Libra beginning Saturday, December 7th.  We’ll take those blueprints we perfected in Virgo to goddess of beauty, money, and creativity in Libra who’ll round out the sharp edges.  The warrior in us may get frustrated by Libra’s need for approval and cooperation from the whole team before she builds anything!  

The really big news this month comes on December 12th with the 2nd of 3 harmonious trines between farsighted Generous Jupiter and responsible Structured Saturn.  We’re offering our charitable gifts, but only to those who will honor and respect them.  Trace the growth of your hopes and dreams by studying the events occurring around these 3 dates:  7/17/13, 12/12/13, and 5/24/14.  Opportunity + Strategy = Good Fortune.

The Full Moon in Gemini on December 17th ushers in the flexible, non-conformist attitude that frees us to see life differently.

The Winter Solstice on December 21st marks the Sun’s entrance into Capricorn, and signals the return of light.  We’ve passed the longest night, and begin to celebrate the birth of Love incarnate.

Mercury rides the back of the sure-footed Capricorn Mountain Goat beginning Christmas Eve.  Our New Year’s resolutions will be ambitious, practical, organized with a side dish of shrewdness.  

♡ Date Night:  Venus in Capricorn and Mars in Libra

What exactly did you have in mind?  Venus in Capricorn is very clear about her intentions, and she sweetly demands that Mars do likewise.  We’re asked to align our desires with our values.  Integrity counts.  Be the first to say “I love you” (even if ego says you’re not sure, not 100%) and you invite truth to enter your relationship.  Your masculine energy is looking for love, beauty, and cooperation through partnership, while our rather aloof and personally ambitious feminine side wants the security of money in the bank.  If you don’t get these conflicts of interest out in the open, they’ll boil over in January.  

The Force of integrity is with you.

Here’s your individual Sun Sign horoscope for the entire month of December, 2013:

Aries ♈ (March 20-April 19)

Wings of faith sprout up on your  already zealous pioneering spirit when the messenger planet moves into fiery Sagittarius, your evangelical buddy, on December 4th.  New ideas that were triggered on the Sagittarius New Moon December 2nd catch fire.  Some promises may have gotten too big to keep, either by you or from another.  You won’t bother with much pragmatism until after December 21st, which brings a harvest in your house of career ambitions.  Jumpin’ Jupiter’s big plans get audited on December 12th, and the restraint you’ll feel will help you be patient (yes, even you!).  Christmas will be calm yet busy.   New Year’s Eve requires brinksmanship.

Taurus ♉ (April 20-May 20)

Under the Sagittarius New Moon on December 2nd you’ll get an urge to put more adventure into your life and into financial speculation (though you’re not a gambler!).  It’s a time when you can’t count on anyone else to keep order.  You’re surrounded by a sort of creative chaos that isn’t yet grounded.  Still, the impulse you feel on December 10th is thrilling and will free you.  If Mercury in Sagittarius (beginning December 4th) can keep his foot out of his mouth long enough to complete his sentences, you’ll be in for a wonderful new attitude. Your action energy aims for more loving pleasures when Warrior Mars enters Venus-ruled Libra on December 7th.  You may fear you’ve lost your common sense in a pink cloud, but is there really anything to gain by playing it safe?

Gemini ♊ (May 21-June 20)

When Warrior Mars enters the land of your buddy Libra on December 7th, a wind of brilliant ideas fills your sails.  You feel positively aggressive, yet sometimes thwarted.  Just remember that Libra is built for grace not speed, and while you’ll wish that things could move a little faster you’re not willing to be off balance.  Mercury, your ruler and muse, changes out of the soggy wetsuit he’s been in since September 28th and ignites your adventurous spirit when he moves into Sagittarius on December 4th.  You’re struck with absolute genius on December 10th.  It all comes to fruition on December 17th with the Full Moon in Gemini.  This is your personal harvest time.  

Cancer ♋ (June 21-July 21)

Virgo is usually the most organized and proficient CEO of all the zodiac signs, however that role falls to you around December 12th, and with the success that goes with it.  That’s a very lucky time for you that adds an even broader horizon to the opportunities that came your way July 17th.  Your nerves may be jumpy with so much going on this month, until you get solidly grounded and your life stabilized around the 24th.  It’s just that warrior Mars moved into an air sign on December 7th which brought you some mental confusion.  Thoughts will seem to leave your mind as quickly as they came in!  With the Winter Solstice on December 21st you life shifts. The Capricorn practicality works successfully for you in your career, and adds stability to your relationships.  

Leo ♌ (July 22-August 22)

You can trust the big ideas that jump into your mind on the New Moon December 2nd because two day later they get 18 days of free fuel.  Around December 10th you’re sparkling with brilliant ideas!  Let yourself brainstorm and play with the possibilities until you get some ground under you on Christmas Eve, even though it may be shaking in anticipation of the new paths opening up New Year’s Eve.  The middle of the month is good for successful business dealings, particularly fortunate on December 12th.  But the best day of the month for you is the 17th, when the Full Moon in Gemini helps you wrap up a deal that may involve your siblings or close community.  

Virgo ♍ (August 23-September 22)

You’re caught up in the excitement of a marching band that’s just a little too loud!  But you love the dance.  The New Moon in Sagittarius on December 2nd, and the move of Mental Mercury into Sagittarius two days later, will feel like creative chaos around you.  Step back regularly and enjoy the big picture it brings, but keep your own pace.  December 12th is a magical time of the month for you, adding brilliant strategy to your organized mind.  Where will this take you?  To a higher octave of discernment in which you commit to put your gifts only where they will be honored and respected.  Jupiter’s harmonious trine to Serious Saturn on December 12th expands your generosity of spirit and good will, and it also gives you that easy peaceful feeling!  The Winter Solstice, marked by the Sun’s move into Capricorn on December 21st, starts a very fortunate time of the year for you with a sunny disposition and deep sense of well being.  

Libra ♎ (September 23-October 22)

Sagittarius is the higher octave of the mind, and when the New Moon in Sagittarius occurs on December 2nd your horizons are lifted by optimistic positive thinking.  Two days later the god of communication moves into Sagittarius, brightening the ideas that have been on your drawing board since September 28th.  Like a skilled craftsman you’ve made systematic plans with great attention to detail while Messenger Mercury sojourned in Virgo (October 14th-December 6th), and now you have brains-on-fire for your project!  Finally, Mars enters Libra on December 7th where he’ll energize your muscles and light a fire under your actions until July 25th!  Wow!  Expect a miracle on December 10th wrapped as a surprise.  The Full Moon in Gemini on December 17th is a culmination time for your ideas and projects.  Ambitious Capricorn takes the lead starting with the Winter Solstice on the 21st.  Use it to climb that mountain to success one step at a time.  

Scorpio ♏  (October 23-November 21)

Since September 28th you’ve had Messenger Mercury in your sign, giving you mental clarity on old and new problems.  Beginning December 2nd and again on the 4th, your communications will speed up and projects will get off the ground.  You’ll feel anxiety about the rapid pace, like trying to slow a fireball rolling downhill!  Stay on the sidelines (which you prefer anyway!), and around December 12th Structured Saturn in your sign will be working in harmony with Jupiter’s charitable and optimistic bent.  Good strategy is your forte, and because it inclines you to be discriminating it will help you set better boundaries.  You’ll feel wonderful by the time of the Winter Solstice, marked by the Sun’s move into Capricorn, which occurs December 21st.  Good fortune for your career and good ideas for moving forward in 2014.

Sagittarius ♐ (November 22-December 20)

You must be saying, “this is the best birthday ever!”  The New Moon in your sign on December 2nd will be a free makeover of your self-esteem.  You’ve rarely felt this self-confident, which is what will ensure success of a project by December 17th, another powerhouse day for you.  Your mind becomes solar powered beginning December 4th when Messenger Mercury enters Sagittarius.  Your mental clarity is excellent for the next 19 days.  Don’t waste this opportunity to broaden your life just because brilliant ideas come to you so easily.  December 12th is a red letter day for serious-minded, even-tempered decisions that will inspire the kind of confidence in your abilities that bring a promotion or business success.  Really, Happy Happiest Birthday!

Capricorn ♑ (December 21-January 19)

Free power!  The New Moon in Sagittarius on December 2nd is an outrageous amount of energy that it lets you run your ideas on solar power that doesn’t cost a dime.  It doesn’t come with any forethought, so you’ll have to draw on the lucky idea that occurs to you on December 12th--a gold star day for you.  When Warrior Mars enters lovely Libra on December 7th, you’ll have to cool your heels and wait for your partner to join you.  From then on your guiding principle for action becomes justice and fair play, which combines beautifully with your Capricorn integrity.  Providence steps in to carry out your plans as the Sun moves into Capricorn on the Winter Solstice December 21st.  And it just gets better and better when Mental Mercury moves into your sign with enormous doses of mental clarity beginning December 24th. 19 days of sharp wit, disciplined thinking, and brilliant strategy.  Not to mention a wonderfully Happy Birthday month!

Aquarius ♒ (January 20-February 17)

Mercury in Sagittarius on December 4th starts three weeks of inspired imagination, with a brilliant cluster of ideas courtesy of the god of lightning on the 10th.  Surprising, unexpected, and very fortunate.   You have a jet stream tailwind at your back beginning with Mars moving into Libra on December 7th.  This marvelous ease of being at the right place at the right time will continue until July 25th!  It’s huge for you!  The Full Moon in Gemini on December 17th is a culminating time of bringing something to harvest that you started in late September.  The Winter Solstice, marked by the Sun’s move into Capricorn, occurs December 21st and is a grounding time of year for you.  Not as exciting, but very stable.

Pisces ♓  (February 18-March 19)

The New Moon in Sagittarius on December 2nd, and Mercury moving into Sagittarius on December 4th, sets a lot of unruly fires under your ambitions for your career.  Still, better to have too much passion than none at all.  Look for Einstein to speak to you in your dreams on December 10th.  A brilliant time.  Jupiter’s harmonious trine to Serious Saturn on December 12th is one of the most fortunate days of this year for you.  Pay attention to this series of opportunities that clear the path for you on 7/17/13, 12/12/13, and 5/24/14.  The Winter Solstice, marked by the Sun’s move into Capricorn, occurs December 21st.  As usual it brings the return of light, especially to your charitable efforts to straighten out some of our planet’s problems.  Your sights are on humanitarian and global needs for peace on earth. Speak up shy Pisces, the world needs your poetic voice more than ever in 2014.  

Giving thanks with Generous Jupiter

Love is served for dessert this Thanksgiving.  Your sweet tooth will be in overdrive, courtesy of Venus trying to outdo Jupiter.  Pumpkin pie with chocolate frosting topped with homemade whipped cream and cherries on top!  Life is sweet.  

Decide in advance, preferably during Monday and Tuesday’s Virgo Moon, what your overindulgence will be.  Treating yourself to extra helpings of happiness is on the menu. And so is a binge.  

It’s a crystal clear back to work Monday with the Moon in hard working Virgo.  But she has two sweet spots planned for Tuesday:  Logic leaps into the artful hands of Venus and is molded into practical yet beautiful ideas; Tuesday evening brings contented joy from being in service to others.  

Can you set aside your Earth emotions and imagine the Vulcan logic of Spock combined with the investigative thoroughness of Sherlock Holmes?  Mercury and Saturn rise together in the morning sky this Monday.  This conjunction organizes our thoughts, brings the clarity needed to solve puzzles and add up the bottom line.  Add this to the logic of the Virgo Moon, and we’re all brilliant CEO’s!  

Wednesday evening finds you calling everyone in your family to express your love and gratitude for them, and for the dish they’ll bring to tomorrow’s feast!  

The big bang comes from freedom loving Uranus, culminating on Saturday.  The week ends with a surprising parade of miracles, proof that we can all light up like avatars while lightning bolts strike down the chains that bind our thoughts to the past.

“Our freedom can be measured by the number of things we can walk away from.”  Vernon Howard

♡ Date Night:  Venus in Capricorn and Mars in Virgo

Vulcan mating practices are shrouded in some mystery, yet we know that every seven years there’s an irrepressible urge accompanied by “Blood Fever.”  Like the female ferret on Earth, Vulcans die when they’re unable to mate during this heated time.  While this is not a vote for indiscriminate sex, it is a relief to know that Earthling’s loose mating rituals aren’t driven by fear of death!  But finding a relaxed attitude about the whole thing is currently hard to come by.  Venus in Capricorn is all logic, even when choosing a mate.  And Mars in Virgo is picky beyond belief!  Your hope for having fun?  Pray to be struck by lightning.  

“Logic can get you from A to B.  Imagination will take you everywhere else.”  Albert Einstein

The Force of reason is with you.

Here’s your horoscope for the week of November 24-30, 2013:

Aries ♈ (March 20-April 19)

Structured Saturn pairs up with Mental Mercury in your 8th solar house of scientific inquiry on Monday.  The beginning of this week is the perfect time to set your strategy for the future. You’ll have an ingenious edge.  You don’t miss a clue, so there’s no point in anyone trying to keep a secret from you!  All week long the Sagittarius Sun will be building toward an inspirational epiphany that sends you into a new realm of experience.  You’ll get a preview on Thursday morning, and you can look forward to the New Moon on December 2nd for liftoff.  Your spiritual insight is right on target.  Use your boldness to question everything, to lay antiquated beliefs to rest.  

Taurus ♉ (April 20-May 20)

You’ll feel a strong pull to be painstakingly logical in your thinking, especially about your relationships, which supports your individuality but gets in the way of your true desire to be in a cooperative partnership.  Right now you prefer to hang out with people who challenge you intellectually, while your heart has a cooling off period.  You’re actually in perfect harmony with Venus in Capricorn who values security above all else (her theme song is “Diamonds are a girls best friend”).  Be careful not to repress your lovely Taurus emotions.  The heat is on as you move toward the end of the week with a few bolts of lightning jogging old memories.  Uranus wants to free you from the past.  

Gemini ♊ (May 21-June 20)

You’ve already felt the heaviness lifting when the Sun entered Sagittarius last Thursday.  And starting Wednesday afternoon, you’ll have two days of the wind in your sails.  Pay attention to the clues of a new beginning that’s coming December 2nd.  All this is occurring in your house of relationships.  Pay attention to the stirrings in your cocoon.  When Warrior Mars enters Libra December 7th you’re in for seven months of spreading your creative wings!  A lightning bolt (perhaps a preview) strikes your need for partnership this Saturday. Notice the flash.  Where does it land?

Cancer ♋ (June 21-July 21)

You’ll feel the strong tug toward overindulgence, or just overdoing it, more than others since the big guy with the Thanksgiving cornucopia is in your sign.  And, this also means that yours is the heart most overflowing with generosity of spirit.  A beautiful harmonious chord is struck in your house of creativity and romance as this week begins.  Things seem to fall into place easily.  You’re mentally ambitious with great powers of visualization.  You see your thoughts manifest as reality.  A sideways surprise may be unsettling this weekend, but it comes with a lucky opportunity.  

Leo ♌ (July 22-August 22)

Monday may find you literally cleaning closets, or trying to bring some order into a chaotic family situation.  The overdose of logic is not a problem for you unless you lock yourself into a fixed position and refuse to budge.  Or you may experience this in reverse; a family member takes a rigid stand that’s annoying you.  Freedom is on it’s way with a big burst of energy culminating this Saturday.  Guaranteed to ignite your personal magnetism and creativity.  Look for this to power a new beginning on the New Moon December 2nd when you return to work after the holidays.  Excitement is building along with your willpower.  

Virgo ♍ (August 23-September 22)

Waves of well being fill your Monday morning and start your week with a foresightedness that makes your usual careful planning downright inspired!  It’s a hardworking energy that supplies the ability to come up with the perfect design, the best plan.  This aspect is in Scorpio so it has an edge of intensity that you could turn into self-criticism--so don’t!  Practice letting go with this mantra:  “it’s good enough.”  Releasing yourself from the chains of old family ties is your true work this week.  Saturday will jar the door that wants to open to something new.  

Libra ♎ (September 23-October 22)

Dear graceful Libra, you must wade through a little more high water this week but by Saturday you’ll look back at your hard work and say, It was all worth it!  You can’t find anything elegant in Virgo’s need to scrub the floors.  But, you can turn Monday and Tuesday into very productive days if you reframe the tediousness into creating soothing structures that help organize your life.  It’s a lovely shift for Wednesday and Thursday when the Moon enters your sign.  Emotional harmony and a deep desire for peace.  Flames of change flicker to life too, building toward enormous breakthroughs in your communications and writing this Saturday.  All this creative fire rolling downhill, gathering fuel, and landing in brand new territory on the New Moon in adventurous Sagittarius December 2nd.  Wow.

Scorpio ♏  (October 23-November 21)

Structured Saturn in Scorpio pairs up with Messenger Mercury, also in Scorpio, this Monday. You’ll have the Vulcan logic behind your self-expression.  Your words have clarity, your thoughts are organized.  Take notes!  You can reason you way through the most difficult of puzzles.  Now is the time to decide what you really want.   

Jovial Jupiter comes in towards the end of the week to add a generosity of spirit that brings your good luck.  Nerves may be jangled by changes, yet they will be good for you.

Sagittarius ♐ (November 22-December 20)

Take all the time you can to make use of the grounding energy coming in Monday and Tuesday.  Organize and put plans on paper.  And, put in a lightning rod!  You’re going to need it as the energy builds toward a big bang on Saturday when your Sagittarius Sun will be in perfect alignment with the god of lightning.  Sudden, surprising changes occur that are designed to free your creativity and supercharge the romance in your life.  The fire is set for important new beginnings that are coming with the Sagittarius New Moon December 2nd. Saturday is the preview.  There’s no question that you are going to free yourself from whatever has dampened you self-confidence.

Capricorn ♑ (December 21-January 19)

It’s a powerful time.  Monday and Tuesday are days you can create ingenious plans for the future.  You have an organizational genius that’s rare even for a Capricorn!  Venus in your sign lends your magnetic appeal and stirs your love of life.  You heart is experiencing a pull toward home and roots, and a yearning for stability through financial security.  You have lady luck on your side when it comes to investing, just watch the tendency to go too far.  A sudden surprise or revelation this Saturday will show you where you are a prisoner of the past, wallowing in memories or good ol’ times that no longer serve you.  Anything that wants to leave your life now should be released in the name of your freedom.

Aquarius ♒ (January 20-February 17)

Give in to the nagging urge to re-structure your long term career/financial plans.  Your week begins with a perfectionist Virgo redesigning your closets and generally suggesting more practical ways you could be handling your assets--and your life!  Tedious work is favored for Monday and Tuesday.  Then you’ll feel the enthusiasm building to spend more time with friends, which will bring you the opportunity for sudden good fortune by Saturday.  Mingle with the masses.  It will inspire a new way to be of service that will bring you joy.

Pisces ♓  (February 18-March 19)

All the power amassing in Serious Scorpio right now brings a deepening of your spiritual beliefs and your need to teach.  This Monday and Tuesday in particular your mind is loaded with scientific and mathematical brilliance that can jumpstart your career around the time of the New Moon on December 2nd.  Your imagination is truly in overdrive.  Get a friend to listen while you talk out your ideas.  You need the grounding that brings.  You’re not one to jump to conclusions, far from it, but Saturday ignites so many ideas that you’ll feel some nervousness.  Let it out.  Uranus wants to free you from your  insecurities.  

Just say it, The emperor wears no clothes!

The Scorpio Sun lights up the beauty of the Taurus Full Moon Sunday morning.  Thoughts of loved ones who are now pure spirit reminds you of the love that always remains. Taurus wants pleasure and comforts while Scorpio wants power and depth.  But Taurus has the steady footing to break the ice with Scorpio.  Desire is the key word that unites them.

This Thursday at 7:48 PM, PST, we leave the deeply penetrating waters of sleuthy Scorpio for the straightforward honesty of the Sagittarius Sun.  Breaking free, thinking positively, and energetically pursuing adventure are ahead for the next 30 days.  Jovial, Generous Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius, hence the bountiful cornucopia of Thanksgiving.  Concern for society as a whole turns our thoughts into zealous action.    

This is Sagittarius talking: “I believe in using words not fists.  I believe in my outrage knowing that people are living in boxes on the streets.”  Bertrand Russell

♡ Date Night:  Venus in Capricorn and Mars in Virgo

Both of the zodiac’s favorite lovers are in earth signs, bringing your relationships down to earth rather unceremoniously.  Your heart’s intentions are ambitious yet full of integrity under the sure-footed love of a cool-headed Venus in Capricorn. Directness may be uncomfortable but it brings revelations.  Friday night has a playful, romantic touch however when the Moon lights up the weekend in loyal Leo.  Bask in the warm reflective glow of praising your friend and partner.

Virgo ♍ (August 23-September 22)

It’s been easier for you to pull your life into order, in spite of life events, since Saturn entered Scorpio a year ago.  Now you’re getting the lighter and luckier side of Saturn’s brand of stability when Jovial Jupiter sweetens your friendships with helpful acts of kindness between now and mid December.  If a friend offers spiritual advice, take it.  You’re surrounded with the spirit of cooperation and mutual consideration.  When the Sun moves into Sagittarius this Thursday, your solar house of home will be lit up with large gatherings.  Expect something lucky to come from a family member.   

Libra ♎ (September 23-October 22)

A fresh buzz of ideas fills the beginning of your week, energizing a sudden shift in perception that connects the dots.  You’re no longer trudging through the past, haunted by your unconscious, when the Sun moves into fiery Sagittarius this Thursday and sparks a plethora of bright new ideas.  Lots of short trips into surprising adventures are ahead.  Expect lift off on your project around December 17th when the Gemini Full Moon adds clarity to your words, which act like brilliant stars to guide other people out of fear.  You’ll get an itch to make your career more fulfilling which becomes progressively more irritating until December 12th when some tension breaks it lose.

Sagittarius ♐ (November 22-December 20)

Thursday begins your birthday month of new beginnings.  Thanksgiving falls in the month of Sagittarius because your ruling muse, Generous Jupiter, holds the proverbial cornucopia. This is the generosity of spirit that is your birthright and is the outgrowth of your natural optimism.  Mark your calendar for December 2nd and take notes because the New Moon in Sagittarius delivers gifts that set the tone for your personal New Year.  It’s always been your job to question authority, and now you lead others to question their assumptions.  You’re the truth teller, even when someone doesn’t want to hear it.  Your ability to embarrass others with your spontaneous unfiltered truths brings up their innate joy, which shows as a bright red blush on their faces.

Capricorn ♑ (December 21-January 19)

Aquarius ♒ (January 20-February 17)

Sunday evening is a great time to sit quietly and take a fresh look at the week ahead.  You’re in for penetrating insights that bubble up from your unconscious mind, especially Wednesday, but you’re not too keen about the restrictive side of too much common sense without inspiration.  Freedom is your most important need and you get the doors flung wide open for you beginning this Thursday when the Sun enters adventurous Sagittarius (you favorite traveling buddy!) for 30 days of feeling optimism and hope.  Look up.

Pisces ♓  (February 18-March 19)

A spirit of constructive, expansive ideas fills your solar house of career beginning this Thursday when the Sun moves into Sagittarius.  You may get an adventurous itch to make your career more meaningful.  Notice where and when you feel restless and irritable.  That’s the change point.  From now until mid December you have fortunate opportunities to move your life from what is it to what you want it to be.  Wednesday evening through Thursday morning is a very fortunate time for you get across a powerful message.  Even peace loving Gandhi taught that honest disagreements are a sign of progress!

Marvelous time for a Moondance

Your true self is not something you find, it’s something you remember.  Last week NASA revealed a galaxy loaded with billions of Earthlike planets.  We are so not alone!  We feel the urgency to see the bigger picture.  That together, dancing in a big delicious milky way, we are magnificent stars.

“I don’t dig nature at all...I think the truly natural things are dreams, which nature can’t touch with decay.”  Bob Dylan

When you’re clear about your destiny, you stop chasing butterflies and do the work.  Clarity is with us again as Mental Mercury turns direct today!  Our destination this week is the Taurus Full Moon’s opposition to the Scorpio Sun, coming Sunday, November 17th, at 7:15 AM, PST.  

We all have a Darth Vader inside us.  A place where we have put on defensive masks to hide our wounds.  The job of Scorpio is to uncover masks, while the resourceful Taurus Moon illuminates the love inside.

Down to earth!  Date night isn’t very glamorous this week, but it has the potential to solidify your partnership.  The lovers are all about redesigning your busy-ness plans, exposing where you hide from each other.  Warrior Mars shows up with the blueprints under one arm, and the goddess of love holds the permits for excavating.  This couple is relentlessly determined to create a firm foundation to build a lasting relationship.  Digging deep will help you remember your love for one another, your most precious treasure.  This is work that must be done by hand.  

The Force of illumination is with you.

Here’s your horoscope for the week of November 10-16, 2013:

Aries ♈ (March 20-April 19)

You don’t have to dig to find your courage, it’s right on the surface of your entrepeurneurship.  You have the self-confidence to weather this time of painstaking attention to detail, not your favorite thing, in order to excavate the errors of “my way or the highway” type thinking.  Therein lies your treasure.  The beginning of the week is a little foggy for you, but clarity comes through your intuition this Wednesday and Thursday.  It’ll be like making camp in a new territory.  Warm and fresh.  

Taurus ♉ (April 20-May 20)

Don’t just dream sweet dreams of security in this chaotic world, get on your hands and knees, dig deeply enough to make room for the roots of a growing tree.  Otherwise it’s all just talk.  The Taurus Full Moon in your sign empowers you to be the smart one who sells all those picks, axes and wheelbarrows to the gold miners.  You get the steady income.  This is the rich kind of partnership you want to create!  You’ll feel a subtle but dreamy shift this Wednesday when the planet of visions turns direct and fills your friendships with a deep compassion and universal love.

 

Gemini ♊ (May 21-June 20)

When you have a dream you can’t let go of, trust your instincts and do the work.  Conjure up some patience.  Under the revealing light of the Taurus Full Moon, your exquisite antennae are up and your sensors firing.  Material from memories are raw, not pleasurable, right now.  A wildness is stirred inside you.  The kind that flies from the fingertips of the sorcerer and magician.  Work your magic.  There’s some barbaric destructiveness involved in cutting a hole in that wall.  

Cancer ♋ (June 21-July 21)

Healing takes the courage to dig up some rotten bits.  You’re our hero because even when you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, you keep digging.  Even though you’re in your luckiest year (of a 12 year cycle), you know that doing the footwork is part of the miracle. Tuesday is a great day to broaden your horizons and make a strategic plan to get what you want.  Do you know what that is?  When you do, all the doors are opening for you without even a push.

Leo ♌ (July 22-August 22)

Like the strength of the relentlessly growing root that cracks the boulder in two, the Taurus Full Moon shines light on your strengths and splits open an obstacle to your career success. Look to your family values and conditioning for what keeps you grounded and what keeps you stuck.  Blast off comes this Wednesday afternoon when something surprising offers you more freedom.  Your spirits are lifted and you’re loaded with creative energy.  Don’t let some quivering nerves undermine your self-confidence on Thursday.  Without fear, you can revitalize your relationship.  

Virgo ♍ (August 23-September 22)

Right now your most deeply held beliefs are shining a clear light on your words, making the Taurus Full Moon an auspicious time to speak up.  To teach and write.  You’ll feel your spiritual direction and your commitment to others take a quiet but powerful turn beginning this Wednesday.  It’s as if the fog lifts on your hopes and wishes and you can see clearly now that you are not only magnificent, but powerful beyond your wildest dreams.  Intensity grows under those unfulfilled desires.

Libra ♎ (September 23-October 22)

Would digging seem like dirty work to you if you knew you were about to strike it rich?  The Scorpio Sun is illuminating your house of resources, the home of Taurus the tortoise.  It’s step by step out of your brilliant intellect into the depths of your soul’s desire.  Nothing else will content you now.  You’re trudging through the detail work now, all in preparation for putting your dreams into action beginning early December.  You’ll be tempted to exaggerate the seriousness of some events, but don’t.  Watch for a kicker this Wednesday and Thursday when your relationships get all fired up!  

Scorpio ♏  (October 23-November 21)

The Scorpio eagle has landed!  You’re ready to dig up the bulbs that bloomed this year, splitting them into two, planting them again for double the flowering in 2014.  The flower is the enlightenment of the plant, as the bird is the enlightenment of the reptile.  You are the enlightment of deeply buried treasure, the ancient artifacts unearthed through your powerful drive to embrace your passions.  Reconciliation is in the air, especially Tuesday.  Take a risk.  Say it out loud.  Be the first to say I love you!

Sagittarius ♐ (November 22-December 20)

You know that design can be a funny word, especially when it refers to how life looks rather than how it works.  The Taurus Full Moon on November 17th is pulling you to the slower pace of a wise observer who knows better than to dig up a plant just to see how its growing! Solutions will seem to fall out of the sky for you this Wednesday and Thursday.  You’re in no mood to compromise but you’re willing to take a radically different look at an old problem.  

Capricorn ♑ (December 21-January 19)

No-nonsense mood starts your week, and you’re not backing off from confrontations.  The security of having money in the bank helps you sleep at night, but the challenge for you dear Capricorn is to dig into your dreams, even the ones you judge to be impractical.  Dig at their roots instead of just hacking away at the leaves.  What do you truly want?  Under the Taurus Full Moon you can prosper, but the thing that sets you free is to believe that anything is possible.

Aquarius ♒ (January 20-February 17)

The light of the Taurus Full Moon shines on your family, your roots, and brings to a culmination certain ambitions you’ve had.  You are the great explorer of human needs, and right now you are called to the descent into the depths of your heart.  It may seem recklessness on your part, but digging into the endless abyss of your true Self is actually courageous.  A little hurt may get blown out of proportion this Thursday so stay with the big dose of generosity of spirit that you’ll feel.

Pisces ♓  (February 18-March 19)

Time to excavate those politicians who have dug their feet into the sand and no longer listen to what’s being said. They’ve taken up too much space in your head.  Your ability to communicate what’s truly needed is like a shining light on the stodgy patriarchal beliefs holding us back.  Sunday and Monday are your days to fire up that stunningly accurate intuition and draw down healing to smooth over those relationship wounds.  Big ol’ wet Neptune in your sign turns direct this Wednesday, putting practical feet on dreams you’ve been dreaming since June.  You’re in the best position to teach that everyone is your mirror.
