“We have this way of talking, and we have another.
Apart from what we wish or what we fear may happen,
We are alive with other life, as clear stones
take form in the mountain.” Rumi
On Tuesday Venus, the goddess of love and pleasure leaves the fiery sign of Sagittarius and enters the Saturn-ruled sign of Capricorn. Venus is Capricorn is a lover of tradition, responsibility, commitment and hard work.
On Tuesday Mercury in Sagittarius will move up to a square to Saturn in Pisces. And on Friday, Saturn, now transiting the sign of Pisces, will station and start moving direct once again – this time at 12 degrees of Pisces.
This week bodes well for planning, organizing and perseverance. Alot can be accomplished under this starry sky with Saturn’s influence.
In the old texts Saturn was associated with melancholy and so moods can be low under these aspects. . With Mercury square Saturn excess worry can be about. It’s a good time to see where limitations – perhaps some that are unnecessary – are present in our lives.
Issues that come up this week may be related to issues that arise during the upcoming Mercury retrograde period which runs from November 25 to December 15.
The Full Moon is Friday – shortly after Saturn stations direct. The Sun, at 24 degrees of Scorpio – the sign of transformation, rebirth and complexity will oppose the Moon in Taurus, the sign of sensuality, practicality and the tangible.
The Full Moon will align with Uranus – the planet of surprises and the unexpected. This is a freedom loving planetary pair. It can bring tension and excitement to the mix which can result in new perspectives and revelations. It’s best to stay open and receptive to change under this influence.
And right on the horizon, on the 19th, Pluto will enter the sign of Aquarius for the long haul – through 2044.
One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”A sword used in many battles, is now in a museum.”
