#current forecast

The Moon is currently in Gemini and will be moving into Cancer at around 1pm Eastern Time tomorrow afternoon. Right now, mental pursuits are being focused on above all. Reading, communication and idea exchanges are heightened. As the moon changes signs, we will see the focus shift to helping others, especially family and those we are closest to. 

Jupiter is in trine with Saturn right now, which means that we will be able to walk the line between self indulgence and responsibility. This is good, because things will get done but we'll still be having fun along the way! Mercury will be inconjunct Jupiter tomorrow, which will make the tendency to exaggerate or overemphasize things strong. Don't take words at face value and be sure to think things over before jumping to any conclusions. 

Uranus goes direct on Tuesday for the first time in months, which will turn the Uranian energy out into the world as opposed to in our own minds. Uranus Retrograde has the effect of revolutionary thought and change inside our beliefs and values, and when it goes direct we find it easier to implement these new ideas into our external lives. 

Enjoy the last five days of the Sun in Sagittarius! This week will bring more Jupiter energy as it goes out with a bang. We'll be able to share ideas with others, and interact with an optimistic and cheerful attitude (depending on personal natal transits of course). As the Sun shifts into Capricorn later in the week, we'll have to finally buckle down and get some more work done.

Venus goes retrograde for a little over a month on the same day the Sun enters Capricorn. A Venus retrograde in Capricorn advises us to look at our relationships seriously to see what they are contributing to our lives. We should also be careful not to overspend (which might be hard in this holiday season). Old friends and lovers might reemerge over the next month.

This week, fire and air unite in Sagittarius and Aquarius/Uranus.

As of present, the Capricorn Moon is beginning its movement into Aquarius for a 2 day stay. If you are on the east coast of the USA like me, the change will occur at about 1:53am. The Aquarius moon has a Uranian energy to it, because Aquarius is ruled by Uranus. Since the moon rules our emotions, we will have a desire to embody the qualities of Uranian energy: innovation, freedom, rebellion and a desire to help those around us through ideas and social changes. Friday and Saturday will see us getting out of the house more, and working together in groups. The exchange of ideas will become natural, and our moods might lighten up a bit (depending on individual natal charts, of course). The moon will also move out of its unpleasant opposition with Jupiter. This opposition has made it difficult to truly feel joyful, and keeps people focused on money, finances and keeping their emotions in check. Come tomorrow, we should see the mood lightening up considerably.

The Sun is in trine with Uranus right now, which will heighten that Aquarian/Uranus rebellion spirit I mentioned earlier. Those with natal Aquarius in their sun or Uranus will feel this effect most splendidly. Unfortunately, the Sun is also in square with Chiron over the next week, which will bring attention to any deep discomforts, wounds, or emotional pains that we've been hiding. It's my opinion the other less emotional aspects to the Sun will help cushion this square and make it easier to cope with any pain.

Mercury just moved into Sagittarius, which will make spontaneous socializing more of a thing this week. New connections and chance meetings will lead to fresh opportunities and perhaps even new friendships. Mercury's current sextile with Mars will make us more likely to speak our mind, and reach out through communication.

Tomorrow evening Mercury will be placed into a square with Neptune, which will allow conversation about other realms, spiritual matters and the unknown to be talked about freely. However, this will also create a bit of confusion around meaning and intention, a bit like the effect of Mercury retrograde. Clarification will be necessary.

This weekend the opposition between Saturn and the Midheaven will end, allowing more career opportunities to open up. Any limitations experienced in the societal arena or in our jobs/schoolwork will become less pronounced over the next week.

As the sun continues its tour through Sagittarius, it will create an inconjunct aspect with Jupiter around December 9th-10th, making us lazier and more inward and reflective for a week or so. Procrastination will be the word of the week.

Around the same time, Mercury in Sagittarius will trine Uranus and square Chiron, making perspective easier to come by, and wounds easier to overcome via intention and visualization of what it is we want to accomplish and become.
