I sincerely hope you were able to view the Lunar eclipse! I also mentioned the meteor showers last week. At 4:46 am Tuesday morning when the Moon was approximately one-third covered, a long meteor from the Taurids shower passed underneath the orb. What a privilege it was to see it. During the two hours of the event that we could see before moonset, while the Moon went from bright and full to covered and red shadowed, I felt an ever increasing PEACE flow all around me. I wish the same peace for you!
ASTROLOGY FORECAST (Nov 19- 24)
The asteroid VESTA moves into Pisces on 11/20 until 2/07/23. Vesta represents our divine inner flame. Pisces is a beautiful placement. That inner flame is spiritual, imaginative, and mystical. It shares Pisces with Jupiter and Neptune, who are conjunct toward the late degrees of Pisces.
The SUN moves into Sagittarius from 11/22 - 12/21. The NEW MOON in Sagittarius is the next evening at 5:57pm EST. Sagittarius and its ruler, Jupiter, are very dominant right now in an extremely good way.
There is a 4 planet stellium in Sagittarius on this day: The Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Venus are all conjunct in the first decanate. This first third of Sagittarius contains the constellation Ophiuchus that symbolizes victory over adversity and is looming as the 13th Zodiac sign. The sky is dominated by auspicious conjunctions and trines between the heavenly bodies all over the zodiac wheel.
The great benefic, Jupiter, begins moving direct in Pisces on that same day. It will shine its great good fortune as it finishes the current 12 year trip through the Zodiac. Jupiter leaves Pisces on 12/21 to begin a new journey around the signs. It will not return to Pisces again until 2033.
Sagittarius is a mutable sign with fire as its element. The traits are expansiveness, interest in travel, animals, outdoor activities and the love of freedom. Intellect in higher pursuits is valued. The ruling planet of Jupiter lends great abundance and good fortune. The glyph is the arrow aiming for higher ideals.
The symbol of Sagittarius is a
Centaur. The common term is to call him the Archer. The old mythology of the Centaur is not positive. It does not suit the rest of the characteristics associated with Sagittarius. Let us update this somewhat. The mythological blend of a human with a species of animal that has agreed to work with us and allow a close relationship between us is suggestive of a renewed goal to return humans to a valued relationship with the kingdom of nature. The powerful, majestic horse is the animal volunteering to assist. The human/horse Centaur is offering a new partnership, pointing that arrow of high ideals back to a cooperative whole with our natural world.
One of the interesting features of the constellation, Sagittarius, is a distinct, easily identifiable teapot shape. It looks more like a teapot that is pouring out an elixir/drink to share than it resembles a horse.
The time is right, the brew is ready to drink a symbolic toast to a new day. May a renewed value of cooperation and creativity take root, utilizing all of the rich variety offered by the life here on Earth.
ASTROLOGY FORECAST (Nov 24 - 30)
There are no sign changes this week. There is one notable retrograde beginning. That is PALLAS in Cancer.
This is what I wrote in early September about this asteroid:
"PALLAS has the potential to be very influential at this time in our history. PALLAS moves into Cancer for a long stay on Sept 7th. The asteroid will stay in Cancer for 9 months. Pallas is in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
Qualities that will be enhanced are strategic wisdom and emotional intelligence. The wisdom of empathy that is not overdone, that allows others their growth is present. The transit energy can help the wounded, and advise the healers. Reactions to authority figures, including female authority in a male dominated world, will come into focus. Gender roles and personal rights are highlighted.
How this will show up will be visited in the coming weeks and months as the other planets form aspects to this strong, elegant, wise female representative."
In recent days I would suggest that Pallas has played a very influential role!
Pallas retrograde in Cancer, beginning Nov 30th and going through Feb 16th, will now invite you to turn that wise emotional intelligence INWARD. All of the qualities stated above may be concentrated on yourself. Be your own wise, kind mentor.
The thoughts that we all emit outward create our reality. The inner voice can be influenced by the world view, or paradigm of the cultures we live in and as you know, it can be critical. Pallas retrograde invites you to quiet the inner critic. Kindness to self and self love are a significant possibility here.
The snapshot of the planetary aspects at the beginning of this retrograde will be the flavor of the interval. There are powerful conjunctions and trines present to help you. THEY ARE:
Pallas at 26° Cancer
Lilith at 25° Cancer
Jupiter at 28° Pisces
Neptune at 22° Pisces
Pallas/Lilith conjunct in Cancer are TRINE Jupiter/Neptune conjunct in Pisces.
These are the outer planets and asteroids that move slowly and stay in aspect for a while. The value that Lilith can add to Pallas in such a tight conjunction is self knowledge and self regard. Lilith knows who she is! She will stand and be counted. Add the wise, strategic, emotional intelligence of Pallas in an inward regard to this and you have a dynamite combination.
The value of self regard and self love cannot be overstated. It is the necessary ingredient for a divinely balanced outer world. As we go into the introspective Winter months in the northern hemisphere, allow Pallas to be your guide. She is currently at a "critical degree" of Cancer - 26° - adding to her efficacy. She is currently one of the most powerful emitters of the divine mother energy as well.
The trine with Jupiter/Neptune in Pisces will add imagination and creativity to your thoughts. Anything that can be vividly imagined can be created. Allow MAGIC into your thoughts. Make friends with that inner voice if you can. Pallas may be of service to you. May you find your Peace and your Godspeed.
