Talk about truth! Venus, Sun, and Moon and are lining up in Sagittarius this week for the beginning of a truth-telling festival led by 76 trombones. Saturn is right on their heels.
Venus gets vivacious in Sagittarius today, November 16th. The Sun gets his adventurous fire on the 22nd when he rises in the Sagittarius constellation. The Moon joins in 3 hours later to form a New Moon (4:32 AM, PST).
On November 21st, feelings and intuition delve into the shadow side of ambition. We’re in the last 4 weeks of Saturn in Scorpio, which began in October, 2012. We’ve had the job of accepting our responsibilities with a serious emotional intensity that has sometimes been burdensome. We’ve all felt a powerful drive for success that has been characterized by thoroughness, persistence and determination.
However, those who fell into Saturn’s shadow subverted their energy into scheming, and a desire for retribution and revenge that brought misery and losses (if you haven’t seen this you will). Beginning December 24th, secrets and lies meet the bright lights of Saturn in Sagittarius for the next two years, which brings a caught-with-your-pants-down kind of honesty. This should be fun!
“A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.”
Mark Twain
The Force of just say it is with you.
Here’s your horoscope for the week of November 16th to 22nd:
ARIES ☀ (March 20-April 19)
You won’t mind hearing the truth, in fact you’ll probably be the one telling it, when the goddess of love moves in to your friendly fire sign, Sagittarius today the 16th. This puts love, beauty and art squarely in your ninth house of teaching and education of the higher mind. Since this will make a harmonious link to your Aries Sun, you’re loving your life with great enthusiasm once again. Just hang on, because you’re like a new born butterfly who must sit a while in the Sun to dry her wings before she can fly. Totally worth waiting for. And you’ll probably take off on the 22nd, when the Sun moves into Sagittarius just a few hours before joining the moon for the New Moon (4:32 AM, PST). This is definitely the beginning of a different kind of journey for you, and inner adventure and outer broadening. In the days preceding this, you’ll feel a seriousness about your goals for your career and your ambitions in general. Don’t worry if you feel a little gloomy on the 21st--it’s darkest (and coldest) just before dawn.
TAURUS ☀ (April 20-May 20)
Sunday morning begins your week with a revelation about something from your past. Because you’ve been willing to look with the eye of a good detective, you’ve come up with exactly what you need. When the Moon sinks into Scorpio around bedtime on Wednesday the 19th, you have an abundance of feelings that are a little too serious, seeping up from a dream. In other words, the solar power of your Taurus Sun sheds light on the shadow in the Scorpio Moon. Visionary Neptune has turned to direct motion, helping you utilize your heightened power for visualization. You’re coming to the end of a month long journey through the deep emotional waters of four planets in Scorpio. Now comes the drying off. Venus, the goddess of love and your muse, leaps with enthusiasm into the openness of Sagittarius this Sunday, the 16th. This puts her (and the New Moon to come on the 22nd) in your 8th solar house--a classic astrological indicator of inheritance or financial gain through partnership. Friday the 21st is a great day to get work done and to consolidate some financial gains. You may even be caught up in over working. On the New Moon on the 22nd, you begin a new journey in your relationships that will be characterized by honesty and a strong dose of the embarrassing blush of joy from your sensuous nature.
GEMINI ☀ (May 21-June 20)
It’s a huge understatement to say that your relationships are about to become the focus of your life, and perhaps the kind of focus you see in the center ring of a three ring circus. Beginning Sunday the 16th, the goddess of love moves into Sagittarius and she’s going to quickly be followed by the Sun and Moon, all their way to the New Moon on the 22nd. All of this falls in your 7th house of relationships. The idealism that this inspires does not come with practical feet. However, the gallant romantic gestures, and the flamboyant adventures ahead, more than make up for the mess. You will settle for nothing less then complete honesty in your relationships. People will know exactly where they stand with you, and you rightly expect the same from them. Otherwise you’re not interested. Even though we are entering the winter months, you are restless for adventure, and the more unusual the better. Go for it. Not because life is short, but because life is stretching out as far as your eyes can see. This is only going to get better. When stodgy Saturn moves into Sagittarius on December 24th, he joins the merry band of travelers tromping through your house of relationships. For the next 2 1/2 years he’ll add the pursuit of knowledge and the constructive ideas that will make you a teacher of higher spiritual laws.
CANCER ☀ (June 21-July 21)
You get kissed by a sweet memory on Sunday the 16th that sets your week off with a little nostalgia, but also brings you the sense of support and love from your family. From your relationships in general. You can expect some surprising occurrences and revelations on the 18th that can lead you to discover what you really need. There is some intensity on the 19th and 20th about your work, and issues of fairness and honesty. The goddess of love moves into the fire sign Sagittarius on the 16th, which lights an itch of restlessness in you for more adventurous relationships. You want to travel but it may require some work to pull it off. You have all the energy and organization you need for that on the 20th and 21st. In fact, you’ll have a tendency to overwork. So easy does it as you approach the Sagittarius New Moon on the 22nd. This falls in your 6th solar house, so health and healing will come from opening up a sensitive part of yourself so that others can see more of who you really are. New Moon’s are new beginnings, and Sagittarius says you always want people to know exactly where they stand with you, and vice versa. This will contribute enormously to your health and sense of well-being over the next four weeks. Just pretend that you are Spock, and you can do Vulcan mind melds. And that works two ways. You know those big rushing rivers of feelings that you think are protected because you hide them? You’ll find out that the people who love you heard them all along. This is a time in your life that will bring you greater knowledge of spiritual principles, and they will help you accept your true Self.
LEO ☀ (July 22-August 22)
By the end of this week you’ll get your shine back on and feel a renewed vitality. There have been a lot of business and financial issues behind the scenes, some of it shrouded in mystery or tainted by a lie. Now the truth will be evident in the light of the Sagittarius honesty. Beginning at this Sunday the 16th, your relationships begin an adventurous journey as the goddess of love leaves soggy Scorpio and jumps into the big open arms of optimism. You’re interested in spiritual ideals, and you’re more than willing to explore new realms of knowledge. Making your surroundings more beautiful with splashes of color will give you an outlet for that rather flamboyant style you’re drawn to right now. The new Moon in Sagittarius on the 22nd is a very powerful new beginning for you, as it will get solar powered by your Leo Sun. Your natural spontaneity and playfulness combines with adventurous Sagittarius to fire up an urge to travel. It could be a journey into the higher mind as well as travel to foreign lands. You’ve always had an enormous spirit of generosity toward your family, and this year you’re like a walking cornucopia! You feel the urge to teach, and if you have to present your ideas to someone it will go very well for you. You might even dust off that soapbox you occasionally love to use, and put yourself in the limelight.
VIRGO ☀ (August 23-September 22)
If you haven’t already invited everyone in your family for Thanksgiving, you’ll want to do so by the end of this week. As 3 planets leave the serious intensity of Scorpio for the idealistic optimism of Sagittarius, they’ll be lighting up your 4th house of home and family. In other words, your home becomes a lavish display of generosity and thankfulness. People will be drawn to your home for it’s beautiful aesthetics. An undercurrent of tension can surface if you try to over do it. All this fire motivates you to act swiftly, so pace yourself. You are headed for a month when you’ll enjoy being outdoors and engaging in almost any kind of sports activity. Take a few trips to satisfy a restless urge to incorporate something new and unusual into your life. The New Moon in Sagittarius comes along on the 22nd, and its time for you is to put all your cards on the table--being open and honest about things that you’ve kept to yourself for fear of hurting someone’s feelings or for fear of being misunderstood. Now you might as well just blurt it out with as much diplomacy as you can muster but without letting that hold you back. Otherwise you’ll just feel anxious. You are very active, you’re in forward gear, and intent on achieving your goals. Friday the 21st could be an extremely productive day. Beneath the holiday festivities that are coming up, you won’t mind attending to some hard work that you know has the potential for success.
LIBRA ☀ (September 23-October 22)
If you’ve been feeling like you were just a little too late to the party, or that romance and creative projects have bogged down in seriousness--that all changes today. Venus moves into the fire sign Sagittarius, which falls in your third solar house of communications and ideas. She will beautify your words and turn your communications into works of art. This is an excellent time to write and to get your point across with diplomacy. Any legal matters will run very smoothly for the next three weeks, so if you need to settle a dispute this is the time to do it. This is especially true with a New Moon in Sagittarius on the 22nd. It opens your mind to spiritual truths and the pursuit of higher knowledge. Teaching, or being taught, is foremost in your mind through December 10th. The most challenging day for you this week is the 18th, when you may encounter some heavyweight commitment issues--Venus has a stressful encounter with the need to transform and the need break free. The moon is in Libra on the 18th, and surprising intuitive hunches can bring you important revelations. Mark this on your calendar, because they will reappear on December 14th in a bigger way. Friday the 21st you can get a lot of work done if you don’t succumb to that little raincloud that will quickly pass over your head. If you can, avoid overindulgence in daydreams and memories, particularly on the 21st. You can make good use of this time to get your finances in order. Jupiter’s cornucopia is spilling creative ideas at your feet. When the Sun enters Sagittarius on the 22nd, a month of feeling much more optimistic is ahead. It’s no accident that Thanksgiving occurs under the Sagittarius influence of Jupiter’s generosity, which gives voice to your deep sense of thankfulness. You’ll want to say it out loud. Because it is the truth.
SCORPIO ☀ (October 23-November 21)
A beautiful dream, probably from something stored in memory, begins your week with a revelation. This week is remarkable for you as a Scorpio because one-by-one several planets we’ll be leaving your sign for the fires of Sagittarius. As Venus leaves Scorpio on the 16th, the restless urge for adventure sparks some spontaneity in you. What you are called to do now, is to gather the spiritual wisdom you’ve accumulated, and heat it up with optimism. It’s not to say you don’t already know how to think positively, but let’s face it, it’s not your strength. When the New Moon in Sagittarius comes on the 22nd, you’re going to feel an enormous shift--as if you’ve left a quiet game of solitaire in your library for a neighborhood picnic in the great outdoors. Open air and unusual “strangers” call you to have more fun. The 20th and 21st will be very good days for you, especially to get work done and manage finances. In fact, as you enter the last month of Stern Saturn in Scorpio, wrapping up the responsibilities that have at times been burdensome is something you can focus on and look forward to completing. You may also feel like making adventurous investments.The sometimes wet blanket that Saturn has thrown over your Sun for the past two years is drying out rapidly. It’s not too soon to cheer!
SAGITTARIUS ☀ (November 22-December 20)
Today, Sunday the 16th, you get the old fire back. Venus the goddess of love has entered your sign--your relationships got a get out of jail free card. Your emotional responses come from your ideals and are spiritually motivated. As it is true for your Sagittarius Sun, Venus moving into your sign is a reaction against the secretive shadows of Scorpio. Hence your naturally blatant honesty, even if it steps on some toes, bursts forth from the frustration of being withheld too long. The 18th and 19th will still feel a little too serious for you, so try not to withdraw in discouragement. The fire in you is gaining oxygen. The big blaze comes on the 22nd, with the New Moon in Sagittarius coming just hours after the Sun moves into your sign. This starts your birthday month with enthusiastic celebrations. A new journey begins for you on this day that will set the course for the year to come. It’s an this auspicious new beginning, as something fresh and brand-new is enters your life. You’re on your way to a Thanksgiving this year that is particularly lavish with love. Go ahead, give in to an urge for flamboyant displays of your gratitude. Everyone will love your colorful and spiritually uplifting self.
CAPRICORN ☀ (December 21-January 19)
Sunday the 16th gives you a wink and a nod from friends who have something important to tell you. This can also work in reverse. You begin to feel the itchy restlessness of the approaching shift of 3 planets from Scorpio to happily adventurous Sagittarius. You may have the sense that you’re not ready to jump, but what you’re leaping into with all your faith is a journey through the higher realms of consciousness. The adventure for you will broaden your spiritual knowledge. As you’re readying yourself, It’s a really good idea to go ahead and act as if people can read your mind--you know you can read theirs. The new Moon in Sagittarius on the 22nd brings optimism and generosity of spirit to your relationships in particular. Sagittarius cares about truth and honesty, but it doesn’t always come with diplomacy or good manners. You’ll fee the adventurous excitement of just telling the truth. You’ll be able to get an enormous amount of work done on Friday and Saturday. For you, the beautiful gift of broader horizons falls in your 12th house of hopes, dreams and visions. Expect miracle--those sudden shifts in perception from fear to love.
AQUARIUS ☀ (January 20-February 17)
Gregarious is your keyword for the month ahead. You feel how much you love your life, and how vital the support of your friends is to your happiness. On the 16th, as the goddess of love enters the sign of Sagittarius, your relationships start to shift dramatically. It’s as if you’ve decided to suspend judgement, to accept people, including yourself, “as is.” As wonderfully perfect. This week several planets are leaving the intensity of Scorpio for the open and honest big spaces of Sagittarius. They will all journey through your 11th house of groups and friendships, filling everyone’s cup with kindness. On the 20th and the 21st a little sogginess remains that threatens to dampen your spirits. But that lifts with the New Moon in Sagittarius on the 22nd. You want to travel but you don’t want to travel alone. You want to have adventures, but you’d prefer to do it with a group. Honesty will now be everyone’s best policy, but for you this fuels your beautiful sense of justice and fairness for all. For the next four weeks you feel downright zealous about speaking up for the rights of others. The emphasis on career and ambitions, that has been somewhat heavy for the past two years, is coming to a close. You’ve developed wisdom about what it means to have success in the marketplace. Now you want to share it. You’ll also be able to share the load of responsibilities you’ve been carrying. Other people will literally say, “lean on me.”
PISCES ☀ (February 18-March 19)
The depth of spiritual knowledge and wisdom that you have gleaned over the past two years, particularly since Saturn whet into Scorpio in October 2012, will now find its expression through your career. Starting November 16th, as Venus moves into the sign of Sagittarius, you’re goals and ambitions take on an artistic beauty. Use this week, particularly the 20th and 21st, to complete some work that needs to be brought to a conclusion. You get a not altogether unwelcome surprise on the 18th, and it will set the stage for a spiritual epiphany on the 19th. You have an opportunity to get deeply in touch with what you really need. When the New Moon in Sagittarius arrives on the 22nd, it will initially open up feelings that are awkward and irritating and give you a sense of restlessness. What you’re really feeling is the fresh spark that’s lighting the fire of the professor in you who has something valuable to teach. Just when you thought you had nothing new to learn, the loving force of the universe sends you for your spiritual PhD. Don’t worry, you’re really going to enjoy this.
