Aries: It’s a powerful time for career as your planet of luck, Mars, is exalted in your 10th house this month. Take action with clarity, focus, determination and commitment. Some release of old fears clears as a new stability arrives. Trust your steps.

Taurus: Continue seeking the stability and support you deeply crave and yearn for- especially in your relationships. There is a powerful transformation taking place on this level for you this month. Get clearer about your needs and requirements with self and others.

Gemini: Relationships and romance get your focus this month, requesting clarity, communication and creativity. You are working on releasing and healing some very old grief and pain. Your digestion is working over time to let the past go. 

Cancer: Passion is alive in your 7th house of relationships as Mars moves through its exaltation sign. This can have powerfully positive effects on relationships or very challenging and aggressive tendencies. There may be disappointments or overly high expectations with others right now. 

Leo: The self is still in shadow and illusion with Rahu in the first. Life and direction likely feels confusing. Emotions may feel stuck and burdensome as you navigate very old grief and pain. It’s a radical time of confrontation and healing as Mars exalts in your 6th house of conflict and bad habits. 

Virgo: You are learning and growing so much right now. Learning how to stabilize and ground, while deepening your relationship with self and others. The heart awakens this month and requests that you look closely at your needs- especially in regard to relationships.

Libra: Your heart is on fire this month as Mars exalts in your 4th house of home and emotions. Seek balance and integration with your inner and outer waves. There’s an opportunity for greater stability and harmony right now, but you must pay attention to your needs.

Scorpio: You are being squeezed and feeling pressure on multiple levels. The only solution is your immense creativity and courage to persevere. As your planet of luck exalts in Capricorn, your third house is enlivened with creativity, communication and courageous passion. 

Sagittarius: Your mouth is full of fire right now as exalted Mars moves through your 2nd house. A  renewed sense of power and purpose arrives and a need for comfort and support increases. Your next steps and dharmic action are still confusing and uncertain. Take action anyway.  

Capricorn: With exalted Mars in your first house, there is passion, power and strength arriving. Feel the dynamism! Relationships however are vulnerable and require your gentleness. Pause, land, ground. Lean in and listen. You may be pushing past important messages.

Aquarius: The intense desire for being alone, on retreat and on vacation increases while your passion and relationships begin to heat up. For some, relationships will continue to be a challenging illusion of disappointment and toxicity. Others will clarify and strengthen bonds with partners. 

Pisces: Relationships are a stabilizing force for you right now. Ground, land and seek support from others. There are gains from reaching out, sharing and connecting. Exalted Mars in your 11th house increases gains, but request that you release and let go simultaneously.

Moon is waning, Venus has just moved to its own sign, Libra, yet the tenacity of Mars and Rahu in Virgo continues. The Saturn, Sun and Mercury conjunction continues to play out until Saturday when Mercury shifts to Sagittarius. Movement, fluidity, creativity and relationships invite in change and transformation.

Monday begins with themes of balance and harmony as Moon moves through Pushya nakshatra. Venus is weak and vulnerable in degrees so tend to the relationship with self and others cautiously. After noon, Moon shifts to Ashlesha nakshatra and inner illusions amplify. Use resources and tools to work directly with the mental and emotional bodies. Consciously work with shadows and the critical mind. Drop into your heart and notice where you are stuck in judgement and critical thought. Deepen compassion for self and others.

Tuesday begins with Moon still moving through its own sign, Cancer, while in Ashlesha nakshatra. Sarpa continues to manipulate the mental body and calls for increased awareness with matters of the mind. Mid afternoon, Moon leaps into Leo and lands in Magha nakshatra. Power, ego and force increase as well as ancestral matters. Ask for guidance and support. Venus begins to strengthen in Libra which helps to soften judgement, rigidity and self-righteousness. Notice where mental tenacity is over powering you. How can you release the mind and land in your body? Meditate and find time to be in nature.

Moon continues through Magha on Wednesday. Let spiritual resources provide extra support and ask the ancestors to help you with your needs and desires. Land back in your power and notice resources that help you bolster your sense of self and well being. Early evening, Moon shifts to the Phalguni constellation, landing in Purvaphalguni. Increased potency, life force energy and creative forces begin to flow. What relationships are nourishing you? What relationships need to be released? How can your creative life force energy help you increase resiliency and inner strength?

Thursday continues with Moon moving through Purvaphalguni nakshatra. Resource yourself with joy, connection, relationships, sensuality and artistry. Let this be the balm that heals your heart and helps you land in your power and purpose. Seek nourishment and stability, balance and integration. Where does the critic keep you from getting your needs met? How do rigidity and resistance keep you stuck, constricted and in constant conflict with yourself and others?

Moon shifts to the latter half of the Phalguni constellation later in the evening. As Moon arrives in Uttarphalguni, it conjuncts Jupiter exactly. Swells and increases are to be expected on the emotional and spiritual body levels. Watch the critic actively and gather resources from its precision. Where does it support you? Where does it keep you from your power?

Just as Friday morning begins, the Moon shifts to Virgo, joining Rahu and Mars here. Shadows and illusions intensify today, helping us to identify inner challenges. Look for resources within the rubble. The critic continues to be a central focus, inviting us to look at parts of ourselves that we may not like or have pushed away unconsciously. Do you lash out at others? Play the victim? Keep giving your power away? Use anger and resentment to vindicate others? Notice where you need more light and life. Where are you hurting yourself with rigidity and righteousness?

Just before midnight, Moon shifts to Hasta nakshatra. Let the light in and make room for the dawn to arrive. Where are you shining your light?

Saturday Moon continues through Hasta nakshatra. Savitr brings increased light and awareness but it may come through challenges, obstacles, pains and suffering instead. These are the places you need to be cracked open, places within that need more light. The pain forces us to put our attention here and notice what isn't working. From here, gather resources, support, guidance and wisdom to transform and heal.

Mercury moves to Sagittarius on December 5th at 22:16 PST, leaving the conjunction of Saturn and Sun in Scorpio behind. This eases the mental body pressures on multiple levels and gets the mind out of the dark depths of our subconscious. Mercury in Sagittarius offers spiritual support and transformation for our mental body blockages. This may feel like a welcomed relief after the many months of intensity and identifying deep, dark inner challenges and blockages.

Certain challenges will continue for the mind in this cycle to come if you resist surrender and awakening to your deeper purpose and meaning. If you force outcomes or objectives, there will be intensification. When ego gets in the way of your awakening process, there will be frustrations, obstacles and excess inner heat. Notice when the fire is scorching you. Where can you let go and let spirit guide you?

Creativity is at an all time high, with maximum flow and fluidity moving through the hands. Intentionally channel this creative life force energy through the arts, music, writing and co-creation. Courageously step into community, relationship and support systems that nourish and increase a sense of safety and support within. Seek balance with inner and outer and express your needs clearly.

Self care and deep inner nourishment are essential at this time. Be mindful of what you put into your body and what comes out of it- through words, actions, expression, etc. What relationships and environments feel nourishing? Which ones do not? Get clear on what works for your mind, body, heart and spirit. Remove and let go of all that is draining you, making you feel heavy. Find healthy boundaries within your life. Simplify the heart and home. Clear away old karmic patterns. Where is the ego resisting and holding you back? How is the mental body ruling your life and choices?

Orient yourself towards feelings and sensations. Let this honest wisdom determine your choices and actions. This is a time of creating radical inner and outer balance. Be courageous with your intentions. Gather support, guidance, knowledge and wisdom to assist your efforts. Above all, land in your gut and let your core values determine what you need. Ask your ancestors, father, gurus and guides for extra support. Let spirit into your life in new ways. Spread your wings, extend your reach and find new flight patterns.

Moon moves to the final nakshatra of Virgo, Chitra, just as Sunday morning begins. This nakshatra provides momentum, action steps and the ability to build. Use your light and awareness to visualize your dreams, goals and desires. Then take an action step that supports these visions materializing. Moon shifts to Libra late afternoon, joining Venus here. There is sensitivity, as well as grace, fluidity and artistry enlivened in the coming days. Channel this effectively through the arts. Let the pelvis be a stabilizing force for you- a way to help you land and ground.

Midmorning Monday, Moon moves to Swati nakshatra and joins Venus in exact conjunction. Inner and outer winds intensify. What direction are you moving? Can you stay grounded even in the midst of these strong winds? Creative flow is increasing. Catch the wave with intention and harness the creative powers within.

This waning cycle brings changes within our relationship with self and others. The mental body shifts and
an increased capacity to connect to spirit arrives. Use challenges as reminders to make necessary changes.

On November 29th at 17:56 PST, Venus makes the leap into its own sign, leaving the challenges of its debilitation behind. Many will feel the relief arriving in the coming days as relationships, money, creativity, life force and health find more stability and harmony. There is still much in the transits that can challenge this stability, but the natural flowing tendencies of Venus in its own sign can help us increase fluidity, love and joy. This increase of vitality is determined by your inner work. It's a time to be radical in your self development, not hide behind false comforts and illusions of safety.

Though Venus is in a more harmonious sign, it is still flanked on two sides by challenging planetary conjunctions. Mars and Rahu in Virgo, as well as Saturn, Sun and Mercury in Scorpio. Venus will feel hemmed in and perhaps cornered. This may result in feeling stuck, resistant, attacked, manipulated, challenged or confronted by obstacles on the path. These themes will be especially relevant for issues that involve all Venusian things- commodities like jewelry and cars, relationships and romance, artistry and creativity, money and finances, health and vitality, as well as all things pertaining to women's issues and the feminine. It's vital that these challenges be used as resources for personal and interpersonal transformation and healing.

This Venus cycle is all about creativity and connectivity, helping us find new pathways of nourishment and vitality, potency and power. It will require radical heart chakra work and re-patterning blockages, resistance and refusal to be nourished. Attending to your inner and outer malnourishment is vital. Where are you starving yourself? Filling up on empty calories in your life? Pretending and wearing old masks? Upholding illusions and false identities?

Use challenges and obstacles to face your shadow. Where are you being cracked open so more light can enter? How is your critic keeping you in the dark, stuck in cycles of fear and lack of self empowerment? Where are you stuck in binary thinking patterns- right and wrong, and a black and white mentality? Unmask yourself and remove the false layers keeping you from being nourished and well fed in life and relationships. Heal and awaken with extra guidance and support. Don't try to move forward alone.

Relationships are vital at this time- in order to deepen your support systems, sense of community and to strengthen your belonging. Find new resources of support if you are stuck or in challenge. The heart needs your attention like never before. Increase compassion for yourself and others. Deepen your awareness about your own needs. As you identify the deeper layers of your inner being, you can express them and gain deeper support from others, from life. Remove and let go of that which is draining you, keeping you from vitality and joy. Simplify your life. Create honesty and resiliency while inviting in new pathways for thriving.

Aries: Relationships continue to prove vital for your increased support and stability. Move towards dharmic steps that activate your passions and purpose. Work through old, heavy karma with diligence and guidance. Let your body be a resource for this process of release and liberation. Stomach is a vital healing portal for you in this cycle. Change and remove old, bad habits radically. Anger needs your attention. What does it share with you about your needs? What has to change? Connect with father, gurus, guides and ancestors for extra support.

Taurus: Your heart center is a powerful resource for increasing your inner light and awareness. Let it guide you and propel you into action. Notice where your inner critic keeps you away from this light and your inner power. How can your gut wisdom be a resource for creating change and transformation? Dive into your depths and work directly with the mental body for ultimate healing. Let relationships be a resource for both challenge and support. Where are you feeling stuck and resistant? Where do you need to ask for more support and attend to self care?

Gemini: The critic continues to remind you what is not working. Find ways to reframe your experiences and bolster resiliency. What feels supportive and encouraging? Support systems are vital right now as you restructure your life and relationships. Surrender to creative flow and let your artistry, connectivity and co-creative powers guide you. Use your inner wisdom to deepen your connections and relationships. Get guidance and new resources to increase your courage and creativity. Work on resiliency and adaptability as well as gut health.

Emotions and gut intelligence are intimately connected. Calm and clear the mind for increased awareness and deeper listening. Courage and creativity are still filled with a warrior spirit. How do you direct this energy and power?

Leo: You are gaining strength and power. Let your spine be a resource for creating more awareness with your inner alignment and stability. Words continue to be powerful and assertive, as well as a dominant force. Speak the sweet truth and avoid breathing fire on others. Where do you need to speak up? Where are you choosing not to use your voice? Where is your self expression imbalanced? Notice the effects this has on your work and personal relationships. Find steadiness in the heart with balanced boundaries and authentic, clear expression.

Virgo: Work consciously with themes of nourishment and inner resiliency. How can you increase connectivity and release challenging relationships with more consciousness? Fill the recent emptiness and release with deep intention. The critic is still working its magic on you, helping you discern and distinguish what works and what doesn’t work for you- in life and love. How are you using the challenges and obstacles with consciousness? Land in physical and spiritual bodies and allow creative courage to be a resource for your process.

Libra: Expect more fluidity and balance to arrive in this cycle as Venus moves to your first house. It’s time to get radical with relationships and creativity, clearing away excess, lack of support and nourishment. Release people and environments that don’t have your deep needs in mind. Meditation and retreat time is essential- which will help you come back to center and land in your core. Seek steadiness, balance, inner and outer harmony, as well as gains from wisdom and knowledge. Let fathers, teachers, guru and guides support you and help you with inner mastery.

Scorpio: Take some time away and go on retreat- even if it’s just an intention and inner orientation. Let your actions reflect these intentions and ask for more support. You continue to go through much change and restructuring, while learning how to honor your needs more acutely. Lead by example and continue to focus on your power and potency. The haters may hate, but don’t give them any of your attention. Work consciously on standing in your power. Attend to relationship needs and let nourishment come through mind and spirit. Balance inner and outer life. Intentionally create an integrated life.

Sagittarius: Muster up a warrior spirit with your career and see if you can gain some momentum with your steps. This is a powerful time for spiritual pursuits and dharmic insights. Use meditation, travel and retreats to help you land more intentionally into your physical and spiritual bodies. Clean, clear and purify the heart and emotional body. Find ways to reconnect and get embodied. Gains come through women, relationships, creativity and artistry. Let go of those who don’t feel nourishing, supportive or essential to your well being.

Capricorn: Fluidity and creativity begin to flow through your career and life offerings. Can you trust this flow? Let this increase help you land in your core power a bit more consciously. Reach into your depths to find your strength and wisdom. Allow your warrior spirit to strengthen and consciously let it support your path and purpose. Get tenacious about your dharma and let relationships support your offerings. Gains come in steady, structured ways. Use meditation and mental body resources to get clarity, focus and to increase inner wisdom.

Aquarius: Career and offerings continue to get more structure and support. This is testing your strength and resiliency. Clear and purge all that is unnecessary and all that doesn’t help you stand in your power and potency. Gather gains through new resources, relationships and support systems, as well as knowledge and wisdom. Where are you connected? Where are you disconnected? Let you pelvis be a support system for you as well as a way to increase your awareness about stability. What helps you feel grounded and embodied? Stable and strong? How is your critic keeping you disempowered and out of your inner strength?

Pisces: Continue to clarify what works for you in relationships and what needs to be changed. You are identifying challenges, but remember to also seek resources simultaneously. Past relationships and patterns re-emerge to remind you what is working and what doesn’t work. Take this awareness into healthy boundaries and get your needs met in healthy, nourishing ways. Get support and be supported through wisdom, gurus, guides and teachers. Find new pathways of healing by taking new action steps. Help others heal and transform by sharing your wisdom.
