Horoscope for the week  starting November 21, 2008

Tip of the Week:

      On November 26 at 11:09 am PST Pluto will re-enter the Tropical Sign of Capricorn. At that time, Venus will be about 5 degrees away from Jupiter also in Capricorn and will appear as a lovely couplet in the early morning skies of the Eastern horizon while the Sun, Mercury and Mars closely aligned in Sagittarius. The Moon will be in the late degrees of Scorpio at the time but will be conjunct the Sun in the morning of November 27^th to form the New Moon. Meanwhile Chiron aligned with Neptune, Uranus in Pisces and Saturn in Virgo complete the basic picture. The line-up of planets spanning from late Scorpio to Pisces at the time of Pluto's ingress into Capricorn where it will remain until 2023 hints at a dramatic and interesting story indeed.

      What the planetary alignment suggests is that over the next 15 years humanity will turn its attention to cleaning up the government. People are increasingly aware that the higher levels of government are corrupt to the core because the real powers of the world operate behind and dictate to governments all over the world . However, the government remains a key player especially where the voice of the larger collective of society can have some effect.

      Pluto in Capricorn will be a major focus for Astrologers over the coming months and years. The main message for now is that Pluto's ingress at this time reveals an ardent push on both sides – the government bodies themselves and the general public. The wrestling match will continue for many years and the outcome will determine whether humanity will awaken from its relative slumber and apathy to act to safeguard democratic rights and freedoms or whether the governments of the world as pawns in the hands of the big money power players behind the scenes continue to succeed in their agenda to lock-in the power structure and effectively create a slave planet. While this evolutionary process of our modern world will continue long after the next 15 years, it stands to be a very important time period during which much that has been and remains hidden will be revealed. I will shed more light on this and especially offer a portrait of the new U.S. President in my upcoming New Moon Newsletter which you can subscribe to on my web site. Stay tuned! 

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

Taking calculated risks backed by the wisdom and determination to learn new skills will bring you to new levels of confidence. Focus now, and within a few months you could be soaring. Major change accompanies this momentum, embrace it!

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

Mergers and expansions of one kind or another are keeping you busy. Although the pace remains sober and steady, there is definite movement underway. In some very real ways, you feel better than you did not long ago. A deepening is underway now but, to keep pace, you are wise to deepen your studies, investigations and research. Balance the hard cold facts with the possibilities and the deeper layers.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

The quality of your relationships takes on added importance now. Others may pose challenges that trigger subconscious fears. Be aware of your imagination creating a stir of negative future scenarios. Gratitude combined with focusing on what is here and now will help. Be willing to let go of stuff and attitudes that have outgrown their use. Clear the way to create balance and harmony.

Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)

Before this week is over, some very real changes will have begun. You are not alone in this. In fact, everyone is experiencing it. Opportunities are knocking and the doors you are now passing through will prove to be very engaging and transformational. If you have any doubts as to your direction, seek guidance now because by next week it may be too late to alter your course. Fasten your seat belt!

Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)

A creative and exuberant cycle is on your doorstep. If you have creative projects brewing, begin them now. Your ability to pay attention to the details will increase. Balance this by keeping an open mind. Focus now and for the next 2-3 months with diligence and you will be rewarded with new awareness and increased popularity. Be willing to give fully and embrace a spirit of service and adventure!

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)

Everyone is feeling the shift and for you it will bring an increase in your personal power. This is just the beginning so pace your self. Allow for a variety of creative outlets but not too many. Clear, adjust and renovate, if necessary, to create a space that supports your ambitions. Access your own reserves and do not lean on others, yet do be open to spiritual guidance.

Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Tremors close to home may well turn into shakes and quakes by week's end. The good news is that these will bring unexpected opportunities. Your confidences may well be growing, especially as you release the grip of traditional attitudes and approaches. Summon the courage to take a pioneering approach and explore new territory and possibilities. See familiar people and places with fresh eyes!

Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Assessing you worth and value continues. Beyond marketable skills, talents and other gifts, anchor into your soul nature. For the sake of pushing you towards doing what you love and loving what you are doing, get ready for challenges, especially in terms of your own habitual perspectives. Become aware of your subconscious; how is it influencing conclusions about what you deem the facts?

Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Like a ship that has crossed a great ocean, you can rejoice in finally touching upon solid land. At least it is in sight now. Your learning curve is accelerated and you are wise to be building upon a foundation of knowledge for long-term use and consideration. Every stage brings its own challenges. Be willing to explore this new territory but establish a solid base first.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your power potential is rising steadily now and so too are your ambitions. The time has come to make some major moves. You will not suffer fools gladly now. In certain respects, the learning curve is steady, yet this is a time for action so you must proceed with what you have. Be open to learn along the way and trust that the time is right to expand your horizons. Confront inner fears and just do it!

Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)

Some very powerful changes deep within will begin this week. Already you are feeling faithful enough to chance fate with faith. If you feel stuck or blocked, you will begin to notice shifts designed to loosen this hold, especially from within. Like a caterpillar in a cocoon and well on its way to becoming the butterfly, you are wise to trust and enjoy this metamorphic process. Be your own best friend!  

Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)

Returns and rewards according to prior efforts will begin to enter your stage this week. This is a powerful and expansive time for you. Hopefully, you have been diligent and sincere over the past few years; otherwise the returns could prove burdensome. Your career potential and public and social popularity stand to soar now so take full advantage of this cycle. Make efforts to be seen and heard!
