Have the Courage to Hope


The outer planets are a bit calmer this week, but the personal planets might get us in a little trouble if we aren’t careful. Mars has just moved direct (last weekend on the 14th) so it isn’t moving full speed yet, and things we have bottled up or not been able to find the words for may come flying out at the wrong time. Personal relationships can intensify, both in good and bad ways. Jealousy may pop up. A little jealousy is not a bad thing...you’ll know when the threshold has been crossed. It may feel like relationships are more work than usual. We may feel a bit put upon in general, like life is all work and no play. The good news is that hard work will yield results, and we will feel more optimistic about working to achieve goals now than we have in a while. However...optimism may not find its partner, motivation, ready to actually DO much work. You may have to push yourself a bit. Watch that you have a filter between your brain and your mouth. And keep your feelings of jealousy in check.

Note: I wrote the above before I wrote the individual scopes. These scopes all had a theme of achieving your dreams, holding on to hope, and following joy. We are in the home stretch of...something. We are tired, and it is easy to get distracted by negative thoughts. If you’re in a difficult time, have faith that change is coming. It really is!  These scopes didn't just come out of my head.  I pulled a card for each sign and the pattern emerged on its own! The message is very clear in all of the scopes...follow your heart!

11/16 Venus opposed Eris - jealousy, particularly of other women, competitiveness

11/16 Venus square Jupiter - optimism and friendliness. But we may over do things in love or money. Watch your boundaries and standards and don’t over indulge.

11/17 Jupiter square Eris - drive to overcome, strong desire to be seen

11/17 Mercury opposite Uranus - time and thoughts move faster than usual; brilliant insights possible

11/19 Sun sextile Saturn - the aspect of hard work and perserverance

11/19 Venus square Saturn - obstacles in relationships; more brakes than gas

11/21 Venus enters Scorpio - collectively our passion increases towards our close relationships, jealousy also becomes more prominent

11/21 Sun enters Sagittarius - our sense of optimism is bolstered, goals feel attainable, spirituality and religion become more interesting to us

11/22 Mercury quincunx Mars - your mouth may move too fast; foot in mouth syndrome




ARIES - You can be free of whatever it is you feel is holding you down or back. The decision to liberate yourself from whatever this is requires a somewhat courageous decision, but you can do it! This may not be something external like a crappy job (or it might be), but could be something you’ve agreed to on a spiritual level that you have felt obligated to or trapped by. Whether it is internal or external, or just an emotion you feel enslaved by, you can choose something different.

TAURUS - Regret is a waste of energy. Sure, the choices you’ve made have brought you to your current place, but there is also something bigger at play here. When we go off our path and screw things up, God/Goddess/Universe will always guide us back to the road we should be on. We always have the choice to avoid that guidance, but chances are good that you’ve been listening. The place you are in now is a transition from off-road to on-road. Don’t look back, look ahead.

GEMINI - Be open to the romance in life. Not just the smoochy kind, but the romance that speaks to what COULD be rather than what is. Life will serve up a slice of something delicious to you soon. It will make your heart flutter with possibilities. Sometimes really wonderful things really DO happen, and its ok to accept them at face value when they do. Go ahead and let life sweep you off your feet.

CANCER - Embrace the childlike joy around you whenever possible. Believe in impossible and unrealistic things. Laugh. Dance. Eat cookies for breakfast. If it is pleasant to do so, recall your childhood and let the memories bring a smile to your face. You may also be reconnected with someone from your childhood who may bring all of these things to the front of your mind. These sweet ideals are present to remind you not to be too serious all the time. You need a break.

LEO - Settle your inner lion down a bit and scratch the belly of your inner kitten. It’s ok to slow down and just be. If you’re feeling stuck, take this as a sign that it is time to go within and let answers come to you, rather than you feeling like you have to chase the answers down. Let your intuition lead you to a breakthrough in its own time. Any resistance you’re encountering in yourself is actually just fear. What are you afraid of? Face it and grow stronger.

VIRGO - Despite all your practicality and planning and perfection, there’s still a nagging need within you. Take a leap of faith! Follow what brings you joy, even if it is just a hobby or if it seems silly. It is the medicine you need right now. Stop adulting, figuring, planning, serving and anticipating for a little bit, every day, and just allow yourself space to enjoy the little things in life. Not everything has to have a purpose (but even the things that don’t seem to have purpose really DO!)

LIBRA - The road may be a little bumpy right now, but a freshly paved freeway is up ahead. Be open to a detour in order to get there. Or you may be on the detour already and questioning the choice to take this “road less traveled”, because it seems to be a little too wild. Be open to a little adventure or the scenic route and enjoy the surroundings until you arrive at your desired destination. You’re safe. Trust the process.

SCORPIO - Stop and take stock of the current situation and consider the possibility of having a partner in this endeavor. You find it difficult to depend on others, but if you can remain open to possibilities you can’t yet see, just the right person can and will show up for you. This need not be a loss of power or a sharing of the wealth, even. But a support person could do a lot to ease your burden. This all sounds rather business-y, but it could relate to the need for spiritual counsel as well.

SAGITTARIUS - You may receive criticism for your idealism and “pie in the sky” (what a weird phrase) mentality, but in the coming weeks, it will serve you well. There are things happening behind the scenes right now that are going to help you accomplish something you’ve been hoping for. Don’t censor yourself and your “whacky” ideas. Follow your heart.

CAPRICORN - You really are much closer to your goal than you believe. Your determination may sometimes be disguised as plain ol’ stubbornness, but that inner drive is going to get you where you truly want to be. Not just where you need to be, but where you want to be (which is the same!). Others may judge your need for acknowledgement, and that’s ok...let them judge. The fact is, you will be successful in whatever you’re endeavoring currently...because you’re you!

AQUARIUS - The time is coming for you to make a decision. In this time leading up to that fork in the road, get really clear on what you want. Not what you think you’re supposed to want, but what you really want. Don’t judge it, just feel it. What will it feel like when you have that? If you can’t feel it, it isn’t meant for you. But if you’re clear about your real, true desire for your life, when this choice shows up, you’ll recognize it as the right choice. Until then, your job is the detox your mind from all the shoulds that are clouding your feelings.

PISCES - What do you love doing? You’re about to enter a time of personal growth and professional satisfaction. Next year will be a time of fulfillment for you. So whatever you’re doing now in the way of manifesting and holding space for that...keep doing it. Keep your eyes on the prize and don’t get distracted by things that don’t feed your soul. Even if it feels impractical or like you’re being irresponsible, stay on the path that brings you joy.
