Oh Wow oh Wow oh Wow ~ do we have a week of excitement, change and action ahead of us!

Two planets, Neptune and Chiron, stop in the sky, causing turbulence and massive shifts in their focus and emphasis. Neptune is turning direct at 28 Aquarius and heading, full steam ahead out of Aquarius and back into Pisces. Your 14 year dreamy journey around Aquarian matters such as groups, acquaintances, connections, tribes, hopes, dreams and computers is transitioning and now coming to an end. Your brand new journey around Piscean matters ~ the oceans, spirituality, interconnection, psychic, imagination, artistry, ethereal, addictions, drugs, creativity and dreams will be starting soon. When a planet finishes their last retrograde in a sign before transiting into a new one, they practically JUMP into the next energy. They are so eager to leave the old energy behind and take off into their new future. So we’ll start to feel like Pisces is already here even though we have to wait officially until February 4, 2012 for the actual transition to happen.

Chiron’s direct station continues his deepening exploration of the wound to our collective and individual souls and how to heal the wound. He entered Pisces on February 8, 2011 to begin an eight year journey, until February of 2019 around emotional and psychic connections combined with healing. All planets in our chart in Pisces will evolve and heal during these years.

Several planets aspect the Nodes of Destiny at various times during the week, introducing new characters into our lives or causing folks to take their exit from our life. We can move onto new chapters. It is time.

On November 10, Mars enters the quick changing, detail oriented, critical, analytical and process oriented earth sign he is going to be in for NINE very long months, the sign of Virgo. Mars leaves Virgo on July 4, 2012. We’ll talk about Mars in depth next week as this week has JUST too much other stuff going on. But you will be noticing the shift as Mars drops from playful Fire and dives into the ground and wants to tackle all sorts of things on his suddenly huge to-do list.

Of particular interest is Mercury, Mars’ Virgo ruler, is pretty far out of bounds. An Out of Bounds ruler means you can do really amazing things (out of bounds is a home run in baseball) OR have a very tough time (foul balls, game stops, ball turn overs). And you can swing between the two poles, home run/ foul balls depending on what else is going on in your chart. As Mercury is out of bounds as Mars enters Virgo we essentially have an out of bounds Mars too! Yes, this promises to be an interesting nine month gestation period for our lives!

Saturn and Mercury entered their shadow degrees last week on Thursday and Saturday respectively ~ outlining what you are going to be working on during their upcoming stations and retrogrades. In Mercury’s case, you’ll be working on that communication or sibling issue until New Years. In Saturn’s case you’ll spend much of May, June and July 2012 figuring and working out last week’s events.

Saturn’s retrograde cycle is a nine month cycle from start to finish. So having Mars and Saturn starting major developmental phases in each of our charts for the next nine months in the past seven days suggests the months ahead will be profound and event filled.

We have a lovely Full Moon at 18 Taurus opposite the Scorpio Sun taking us back to May 13, 2010 and February 11, 2011 to see the earlier chapters of the story. We enjoy the culmination of that story now as it ripens in our charts. Taurus Moon is exalted, based in springtime and full of love, blooming, beauty and grace. Of course, Moon is opposite the Sun in the sign of Scorpio ~ finance, death, killing frosts and dying so it presents us with a lovely contrasting energy to work with during the week. We can expect the financial markets to rock and roll this week. The Sabian Image is A NEW CONTINENT IS RISING OUT OF THE OCEAN for the Taurus Moon. Lynda Hill’s Interpretations for the degrees of the lunation are:

Commentary: The Symbol of ‘A New Continent Rising Out of the Ocean’ is a powerful image of new opportunities and a whole new sphere of operation. When a land mass emerges from the ocean – the ‘New Continent’ that is ‘Rising’ – there is usually some kind of eruption or disruption that precedes it. A whole field of activity is coming to light as this fresh, new arena of opportunity erupts.

Oracle: A ‘New Continent’ is ‘Rising Out of the Ocean’; it might feel as though it is coming out of nowhere, or from somewhere you didn’t expect, however things have probably been building up for some time. Perhaps you saw it coming, or maybe you weren’t aware that the changes you’re seeing would go as far as they have. One thing’s for sure: it is coming from somewhere deep within your emotional and spiritual development. There is a promise of rewards and brand new beginnings. However, this is only the beginning. There is much work to be done developing this possibility into something fertile and productive. Observe and learn from the new things that are erupting into conscious reality. You will, or you will have to, find that extra spark to create a brand new, original opportunity. What is possible, and what is not, will become more obvious as time goes on. You may feel a little alienated in this new ‘Continent’ or sphere of activity, but that’s only relative to the conditions of what it is that you’re leaving behind. There has probably been a recent period of throwing out things that haven’t worked, things that have cluttered up your life and have been in the way of your forward growth. What you’ve done or achieved in the past has led to this, but these new beginnings need to be met with a fresh sense of purpose, confidence and possibility.

Keywords: Enormous potentiality emerging. New trends and ways of being. Sudden eruptions of talent or fields of endeavor. The greenhouse effect and global warming. Atlantis and other ancient underwater cities. Evolution. Patience. Developing slowly but surely. Emerging generations of people. New environments. Things feeling suddenly foreign. The birth of a nation.

The Caution: Continually seeking “new worlds” rather than finding a place in the existing one. Not taking responsibility for the birth of the new. Not showing respect for the old or established. One does not discover new continents without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time. Andre Gide

AUSTRALIA, n. A country lying in the South Sea, whose industrial and commercial development has been unspeakably retarded by an unfortunate dispute among geographers as to whether it is a continent or an island. Ambrose Bierce

Today, the treacherous, unexplored areas of the world are not in continents or seas – they are in the minds of men. Allen Claxton

I know that Nature designs that this whole continent, not merely these thirty-six states, shall be, sooner or later, within the magic circle of the American union. William Seward

Nay, be a Columbus to whole new continents and worlds within you, opening new channels, not of trade, but of thought. Henry David Thoreau

The Sabian Image for the Scorpio Sun is A PARROT LISTENING AND THEN TALKING, REPEATS A CONVERSATION HE HAS OVERHEARD . Lynda Hill’s interpretation is:

Commentary: ‘A Parrot’ is shown ‘Listening and Then Talking’. He ‘Repeats a Conversation He Has Overheard’. The ‘Parrot’ has the ability to mimic what’s being said and the various sounds that surround him. In esoteric symbolism, birds often symbolize spiritual forces.

Oracle: This Symbol often infers some level of spiritual channeling, as thoughts and words can sometimes appear to course through a person, especially if the “messages” seem to come from somewhere else. It can show someone who is receptive to the thoughts and ideas that are around, or in the environment, and can process the information to the point where it becomes their own. The ability to convey the facts or a message accurately and responsibly will be very important to the outcome. However, there is a need for caution with this Symbol. It can imply messages, talk or gossip that loses its integrity once it reaches someone who operates on an unconscious level. Translating things into different languages or repeating them can lead to things being either more understood or less. One needs to be accurate about what was actually said, and what was meant, before any misunderstandings take place. Look to the source of the information in this situation; is it reliable and was the original message understood in its entirety? Is this a “conscious” retelling of the story? Is what’s being said coming from the heart, or is it really not worth listening to? Also, this Symbol can show someone who expects instructions or orders to be followed without question.

Keywords: Transmitting information or knowledge. The need to integrate things into consciousness. Recorded messages. Answering and fax machines. Mumbling that is difficult to understand. Translators, birds, parrots, news reporters, gossips, stool pigeons. Telephone operators. Messages from strange places. Automated responses.

The Caution: Rote responses that are ill considered. “Towing the party line” without having any opinion of your own. Going over the same territory. Losing true meaning through repetition. Repeating without knowing the real meaning or purpose. Meaningless banter. Tunnel vision. Gossiping. Missing the true essence of what’s being said. Not having a mind of one’s own. Brainwashing. Re-runs of the same old line. Broken records. Sometimes they write what I say and not what I mean. Baseball player Pedro Guerrero on reporters

INTERPRETER, n. One who enables two persons of different languages to understand each other by repeating to each other what it would have been to the interpreter’s advantage for the other to have said. Ambrose Biere

Accept your genius and say what you think. Ralph Waldo Emerson

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted then used against you. Bumper sticker

When you talk, you repeat what you already know; when you listen, you often learn something. Jared Sparks

The real menace in dealing with a five-year-old is that in no time at all you begin to sound like a five-year-old. Jean Kerr

Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn’t have said. Anon

The best time to hold your tongue is the time you feel you must say something or bust. Josh Billings

We have some rocking aspects of the personal planets as Mars opposes Neptune for the last time in 14 years of his journey through Aquarius. Expect relationships from 1997 to pop, shift, change or open up in unexpected ways as Mars and Neptune face off in the heavens. Watch for too much pride or prideful behavior under this energy that can cause you to not do what is in your best interest. The pride and ego of Mars can bite you in the butt if you come from an ego based place. What is actually for the greater good? What is the bigger vision? Can you focus on THAT to help you move forward?

And with Mercury out of Bounds in free speaking Sagittarius DO be careful what you say to other people. They are not necessarily going to hear what you said correctly or in the spirit in which it was offered. So validate and inquire. Literally ask them “What did you hear me say?” You’ll be surprised at the distortions flying around. And do try to avoid sentences beginning with “Frankly” as they are simply trouble causing this week. If they ask you if they look fat in this outfit, do you REALLY have to answer them truthfully? Be kind if you have to answer a question you don’t want to go near.

Void Moons This Week

0:46 am EST Wednesday Nov 9, to 2:45 am EST

11:27 am EST Friday, Nov 11 to 3:10 pm EST

10:43 pm EST Sunday Nov 13, to 2:19 am EST Monday Nov 14

Moon’s day, Monday November 7 Moon in Aries is assertive and bold with a terrific closing aspect of taking action as he trines Mars in the last degrees of Leo. Take bold actions the next two days to help move things along. Sun argues with the way you are keeping your house or office ~ the dissatisfaction allows it to change. Sun finds a health matter or ego matter troubling as he tries to figure out what to do about a situation that is not going the way he thought it would. You can make adjustments but might not want to. Take a pause and see what works. Wait for Mars to get past his opposition to Neptune today so the clouds and lack of clarity can calm down. Mars opposition to Neptune offers the opportunity to clear things up today so you can proceed with your work or projects. People can be very emotional. Vesta works with the Nodes of Destiny today so you may very well hear about permanent changes coming to your home and hearth or with/around a person who nurtures you. Venus is annoyed by Eris the Goddess of Discord ~ she’s stirring the pot and getting Venus all bent out of shape about what needs to happen. Venus DOES join with Neptune by declination so peace and good will can take place and have a happy ending. But you need to clear the air and get back to where you used to be. Mercury also has a squabble energy with Eris ~ be careful what you say as people can be easily offended today. Venus and Mercury have an adjusting aspect to Kronos at 6 Cancer ~ be warned this is not only from THIS lifetime ~ it could well be tied to stuff from previous lives…. What to do? Adjust and speak your truth. It will work out the way it is supposed to. Just be KIND when you speak your truth.

More to come…
