Astrology for the Week of November 8-14 

Before we get started, I want to mention that all times I’m going to discuss are in the central time zone. If you want to see the aspects discussed in the forecast on your digital calendar in your time zone, you can get that here.

Now for a little disclaimer. Everything I’m going to say about the individual days is true but within the larger context of Mars squaring Saturn and all of the other activity happening on Wednesday. Just because I’m not talking about it for the specific days does *not* mean those days are all sunshine and kittens. It’s a week and you’ll likely want to blow things up or want popcorn while you watch other people set things on fire (figuratively, I hope). Ok, enough fear-mongering on with the show.

Monday: 

• ☽ at 03° 46‘ Capricorn ✳ ☿ at 03° 46‘ Scorpio | 1:12 am 
• ☽ at 05° 57‘ Capricorn ✳ ♂︎ at 05° 57‘ Scorpio  | 4:48 am
• ☽ at 12° 37‘ Capricorn △ ♅ at 12° 37‘ Taurus | 3:47 pm
• ☽ at 17° 00‘ Capricorn ✳ ☉ at 17° 00‘ Scorpio | 11:06 pm

Monday is a great day to get things done. It’s pragmatic and sober and serious and all of the Moon-in-Capricorn nose-to-the-grindstone kinds of phrases. For real, if you can put the energy of this week into working or building or accomplishing something - it’ll be a great survival technique. 

Tuesday:

• ☽ at 20° 32‘ Capricorn ✳ ♆ at 20° 32‘ Pisces | 5:00 am
• ☽ ☌ ♇ at 24° 35‘ Capricorn  | 11:51 am
• ☽ ▻ Aquarius | 9:03 pm

Tuesday might feel a little more emotionally draining but overall still a great day to do all of the things. Keep your big picture goal in mind and try not to dwell in the what if this or that.

Wednesday:

• ☿ ☌ ♂︎ at 07° 22‘ Scorpio | 6:56 am
• ☽ at 07° 27‘ Aquarius □ ♂︎ at 07° 27‘ Scorpio | 9:54 am
• ☽ at 07° 35‘ Aquarius □ ☿ at 07° 35‘ Scorpio | 10:08 am
• ☽ ☌ ♄ at 07° 39‘ Aquarius  | 10:14 am
• ☿ at 07° 39‘ Scorpio □ ♄ at 07° 39‘ Capricorn | 11:04 am
• ♂︎ at 07° 40‘ Scorpio □ ♄ at 07° 40‘ Capricorn | 5:13 pm
• ☽ at 12° 32‘ Aquarius □ ♅ at 12° 32‘ Taurus | 6:45 pm

And now we’ve come to Wednesday. Remember, my advice for the individual days stand on their own but within the context of the aspects that will be exact today. 

For twelve hours (about 7 am to 7 pm) there are half a dozen aspects triggering Mars, Saturn, and Uranus. That’s the two “mean” planets and the one that likes to blow things up just to watch the world burn. Ok, that’s a little unfair, I’ll try to be a little less “the end is near” and a little more neutral because, in reality, it can go a lot of different ways.

Mars can be the courage you need to do something scary or it can be white-hot rage intent on destruction.

Saturn can be the dedication you need to finish a big project or it can be having a door slammed in your face when you go after something you really want.

Uranus can be big bold ideas and thinking outside of the box or it can be malicious anarchy. 

Wherever Mars is in your chart you’re likely to experience the courage/rage potential, where Saturn is you’re likely to feel that determination/rejection potential, and where Uranus is you’re likely to feel the brainstorming/anarchy potential - and this week they’re being extra activated by each other and by the Moon (who is hanging out with Saturn) and Mercury (who is hanging out with Mars). It’s going to be intense one way or the other and now for some specific advice for today - and the rest of the week.

• Accomplish what you can but resist the urge to control.
• Delays are opportunities to reevaluate.
• Be honest and assertive in communication, but don’t be a jerk.
• Think before you speak and try to find compassion for all of the other humans who are navigating the intensity.

Thursday:

• ☽ ☌ ♃ at 23° 19‘ Aquarius | 1:52 pm

Thursday is my favorite day of this week because the Moon joins Jupiter just before 2 pm on  Jupiter’s day after getting clear of all of the drama from Wednesday. The Moon goes void right after for 12 hours which should be a nice quiet respite. It could also be a massive delay but if you get stuck waiting for a flight you’ll be able to read quietly and relax. It’s all about perspective - another thing to remember this week.

Friday:

• ☽ ▻ Pisces | 1:53 am
• ☉ at 20° 30‘ Scorpio △ ♆ at 20° 30‘ Pisces | 10:23 am
• ☽ at 06° 47‘ Pisces ✳ ♀︎ at 06° 47‘ Capricorn | 2:17 pm
• ☽ at 09° 03‘ Pisces △ ♂︎ at 09° 03‘ Scorpio | 6:28 pm
• ☽ at 11° 43‘ Pisces △ ☿ at 11° 43‘ Scorpio | 11:22 pm 

Looking at Friday, it’s like a cosmic spa day after going through an iron man marathon of a week. It’s a great day to do something relaxing and pleasurable. It’s a great night for a date or to Netflix and chill with someone you enjoy. 

This is not the most productive vibe of the week, but if you were nose-to-the-Mars-Saturn-grindstone all week, you probably need a little break.

Saturday:

• ☽ at 12° 26‘ Pisces ✳ ♅ at 12° 26‘ Taurus | 12:43 am
• ☿ at 12° 25‘ Scorpio ☍ ♅ at 12° 25‘ Taurus | 9:56 am
• ☽ ☌ ♆ at 20° 29‘ Pisces | 3:45 pm
• ☽ at 21° 50‘ Pisces △ ☉ at 21° 50‘ Scorpio | 6:18 pm
• ☽ at 24° 40‘ Pisces ✳ ♇ at 24° 40‘ Capricorn  | 11:40 pm

Saturday has the potential to be very deep and insightful or dreamy and escapist. Either way, you’re likely to learn something unexpected or come up with some innovative new ideas or intuitive insights.

Sunday: 

• ☽ ▻ Aries | 9:48 am
• (Sun square Jupiter Monday)

Sunday is quietly building towards a Scorpio Sun squaring an Aquarius Jupiter on Monday. If you were working hard this past week you might see the results of your efforts Monday or it could just be a generally nice optimistic day to recover and prep for next week.

If you’re feeling frisky, hit me up on Instagram and let me know how the astrology of the week played out for you.

Until next time, my wish for you is courage without aggression, determination without inflexibility, and compassionate communication.
