Closing the Chapter - BitchScopes for November 29-Dec 6

All work and no play make Jack(ie) a dull person. Well bitches, this week there does seem to be a strong focus on work and drive towards our goals. And that’s all fine and good, but we do need balance as well. There is a lot of enthusiasm this week, and that can also lead to anxiousness, also known around these parts are “bajiggityness”. This will all work itself out naturally, but if you would like to direct this energy a bit, focus on not only what needs to be healed within you, but what role you play in “passively” healing others. I say passive because more often than not, being your authentic self can provide a real source of inspiration and healing for the people around you. What about “work” and your beliefs about it needs to be healed? Keep that in mind when you are manifesting.

Mercury is busy this week, which is part of why there is nervous energy afoot. But this moon is conjunct Mercury as well, which can be very positive. It can bring sharp and quick thinking and curiosity. Interactions with other people are emphasized. That means everyone’s favorite things: appointments and meetings and generally being busy.

Your mind is likely to be just as busy as Mercury this week. You may be worrying and fretting and feeling anxious. Physical movement will help. Focus on professional goals and make notes and vision boards if it helps. Have fun with it. This is Sagittarius. If its not fun, its not happening.

The big news this week is, again, the Eclipse. This one is the last of the Sagittarius-Gemini eclipses (until 19 years from now, anyway). This Sagittarius New Moon aspects Uranus, so the theme will be adjusting to changes and new experiences. Open-mindedness and flexibility are an important tool for the coming shifts. This new moon is optimistic, on its own (do we sense a “but”?). So focus on spirituality and aspects of your life you wish to expand (Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter). This is a good manifesting moon….even though (aha! There’s the catch!) it has some bajiggity aspects.

Uranus quincunxes this New Moon, hence the nervous energy and unexpected “joys” of Uranus. But in our favor we have Saturn sextiling the moon, offering us some grounding and logic. Later in December (Christmas Eve- Merry Fuckmas!) we have Saturn Squaring Uranus for the 3rd and last time this year. But we will talk about that fuckery later. We’ve been there, done that...and it sucks a little, but it’s fine. We will be fine!  This eclipse is a mover and a shaker, in that it will offer a bit of a crisis that leads to significant growth. Chances are you’ve already felt this crisis, so there’s no need to panic. I feel this eclipse finishes up that crisis business over the next few months.

So as we move into the holiday season, remember to balance work and play. Find joy, somewhere, without judgement. If joy is the opposite of what everyone else finds joyful, so be it. You do you. Focus on your beliefs about life and work and joy and living in general. It will be increasingly important that we are grounded and have a source of inner peace as we move into 2022. Because the world isn’t getting any less messy, so all we can do is be our best selves. You never know who you will touch in this way, just by being you.

Happy December (how the hell did that happen?) This week we are focusing on the placements of the Solar Eclipse/New Moon, Uranus, and Saturn in your charts. (Read your rising and sun sign.)

Dec 6

ARIES - You are likely to be feeling the tickle of holiday spirit this week, and perhaps that generosity streak you have will be lit up. Helping to plan a party or event might be a huge support to someone in your circle, because you get shit done! Your 9th house is activated by this eclipse. If you’ve been waiting to hear about a college application or some other education related decision, its likely to show up this week. In general, the top of your chart and your house of income are very active, so you can expect healthy growth in your professional/public life.

TAURUS - You’ve been going through some pretty emotional stuff for a few months now. This new moon will activate some deep feelings and desire for intimate connection. Also up for you this week (and for several weeks, actually) are financial resources and obligations like loans and taxes. Of course you owe what you owe, but I feel this is an opportunity or something coming TO you. In general, deeper commitment is on the docket for you, and its a good thing. Don’t be surprised if you get a promotion soon, or are otherwise asked to take the lead in something. This will be a big deal in your life, so congrats!

GEMINI - This eclipse could be a heart-opener for you. Due to the involvement of Uranus in all of this, I don’t think you’ll see it coming. It may be a new relationship, or a may be just a deep activation of your love. Sagittarius rules long distance and relationships with foreigners. (Don’t knock it 'til you try it!) You should also check out job opportunities now and over the next several weeks. If where you are isn’t working for you, you have a good chance for improvement in another environment. Taking a class or 2 where it may boost your career is also a good idea

CANCER - Good habits and routine are emphasized for you this week. This new moon can help you manifest a day-to-day groove that feels really good in regards to work, fulfilling financial obligations, and healthy habits. But balance is key, so be sure to get OUT of your routine on a regular basis too. A set date night with your honey or your BFF, or a monthly trip to your favorite not-too-far-away place is just what the doctor...er...planets ordered.

LEO - Your 5th house is activated this week. That often means romance, but it is also often related to your children. There’s a certain kind of “growth” that may show up for your family in the near future. I don’t necessarily mean you’re pregnant, so you can stop laughing. But one of your kids may start a committed romantic relationship. If all of that feels like poppycock, then just plan to have some fun. Manifest more joy and play in your life with the new moon. But also, if you’re not looking to be pregnant, have smart fun!

VIRGO - If anyone is ready for the holidays, it's you, with your mile long list of gifts and things to do. Try to include your family members in all of that preparation. Not only does it decrease your burden (and keep you off the martyr cross), it makes them feel good. Relationship energy feels pretty juicy around you lately. Don’t be dumbstruck if your honey surprises you this holiday season. A shake up of your routine may be really good for you, and this may come in the form of some short distance travel, or maybe a commute.

LIBRA - You may feel pulled in several directions over the next couple or few weeks. Try to keep your head on straight, because this somewhat chaotic energy will pass. Financially you are poised to do really well for the next few months and beyond. Your communication with others is highlighted this week. Make sure you are touching base regularly with your partner or kids who may want your attention but are hesitant to ask for fear of “bothering” you. Make sure you keep that door open for the ones you love to come to you if they need you.

SCORPIO - Money is on the menu, and probably on your mind. This final eclipse in Sagittarius closes a chapter for you around earned income, as well as passive income. Your home life gets a boost of security (that has been the case for months now) with whatever these opportunities are. Invitations and offers (perhaps even romantic dates) may come out of nowhere, so try to not be too scattered to pay attention this week. You may be feeling a little lonely or isolated this week, but both the feeling and the actuality of that are temporary, so don’t fret. Be open to being surprised by what life drops in your life.

SAGITTARIUS - You may be called upon to lead something soon. You’ve been nudged all year to find your authentic voice and you may feel lost and unqualified to fulfill this leadership offer. But trust me, you are qualified. Others see potential in you that you often do not, so seize the opportunity when it shows up and have faith! You are probably feeling utterly bored with your current life and routine. But rather than avoid and procrastinate, try to focus and get shit accomplished so you can move on to fun stuff.

CAPRICORN - You are likely to feel day-dreamy now. This is somewhat uncharacteristic of you, the workaholic. But as your birthday time rolls around, you secretly feel very magical and romantic about life in general. Your creative expression is looking for an outlet, so this daydreamy energy is perfect for you to explore the more artsy and fun-loving side of yourself. In fact, exercising your creativity and intuition may really help you professionally. I feel there is a step up in the cards for you, and that creative balance is something others admire about you.

AQUARIUS - This eclipse could feel very close and personal to you, as it lands in your 11th house, which rules your sign, and aspects Saturn in your 1st house. Your identity, circle of friends, and home life are all up for a big boost with this chapter-closing lunation. This is due to a fairly big shift in a positive direction for your career. Stability and self confidence will be continuing to improve. The professional growth is likely to introduce you to new people, and you may find yourself with new friends for the first time in a long while.

PISCES - There’s a significant shift happening for you professionally. This new moon/solar eclipse closes a chapter that has been opened for most of this year. Publishing is emphasized thanks to the moon aspecting Uranus in your 3rd house. You would be wise to work “alone”, in the quiet, or just not share your projects with anyone outside your tight inner circle. Secret projects are favored over projects with many hands. Your work may also bring balance to you personally. As you write or plan, you could unlock some things that have been stuck for you.

Welcome to Sagittarius Season - BitchScopes for November 22-29

Hey bitch, heyyyyy. How was that Taurus Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse for you? Hmpf. It was pretty rough over here. Even as early as Sunday the 14th, I was cranky, emotional, exhausted, burned out and just generally grumpy. As seems to be the pattern now, I got a migraine a couple days before the Full Moon. The day of the eclipse was a shit show for our family, for several unrelated reasons. We really got side swiped and that “Surprise!” Uranus crap did its job. But by Friday we were motivated and back to kicking ass. The crazy thing about the migraine is that none of my regular meds (even my prescription migraine meds) or “cures” helped, but I swear on my hair, as soon as the moon moved into Gemini (early morning), and out of the eclipse zone, it went away.

Hold on, I gotta Google something…

(hold music)

Yeah, so...Taurus is in my 12th house and sho nuff, it is sometimes related to headaches, as are eclipses. So interesting. And annoying.

Aaaanyway, this week is better than last week. But like any week as a human on this stupid rotating rock, there are some speed bumps to be aware of. There is a lot of energy related to work, passion projects, and mental focus. There is an equal amount of energy related to family, mostly in opposition to the aforementioned work stuff. So there is a strong push-pull vibe. You may feel very driven and motivated, but your family may be really tugging on your sleeve.

There’s another oppositional vibe this week and it is between the past and the future. Ring Ring...Your Past is calling. Bitch, send it to voicemail. Here’s the thing...the person you used to be is not quite the same as the person you are now. You are still you, but you are not getting into your metaphorical high school jeans..sorry not sorry. (That is a ridiculous standard to hold ourselves to anyway!) However some people from the past may be trying to cram you into the box labeled “former you”. I’m not saying you need to hang up on people literally, or avoid answering your phone. However, not answering your phone from old numbers and old flames and people who don’t really know who you are now... feels like a good idea to me. Focus on your future goals (without neglecting your family). You need to (must?) learn from your past self, but you can’t zip that version of the you-suit up anymore. It will chafe your thighs and your soul.

Finally, as we enter Sagittarius, truth becomes a real quest. You will see this play out in the news, and you may feel it very personally as well. As we come out of the deep water of Scorpio, we may initially feel a bit crabby or shocked by the bright light of Jupiter’s energy. But we will settle in after Thanksgiving. I think it’s amusing that American Thanksgiving falls under Sagittarius. You know...all those warm, fuzzy family discussions over dinner...the calling out of bullshit because Grandma can’t not talk about Trump...the desire to put benadryl in everyone’s pie to escape all the “truth” and philosophizing over turkey. I think It’s a funny programming detail of the Matrix.

Eyes on the road, not in the rear view. Take a look at how you value yourself, because next month that is going to be a big theme. Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it. Happy Sagittarius season to all.  To honor the philosopher and poet of the zodiac, this week I’m channeling scopes a little differently. With a concentration on the North and South Nodes (currently Gemini and Sagittarius) in the chart of your rising sign, I am using some verses from Kahlil Gibran, and tarot to arrive at a message for each sign. The Gibran verses are from a diary that belonged to my Grandmother, Lillie. This diary happens to be for 1973, the year I was born. I can barely read her handwriting, but I treasure these diaries of hers. She writes about what time she got up, and just the basic happenings of each day. Across from each entry is a Gibran verse. I’m using tarot to provide action for the themes.  I really love how these turned out. Enjoy. 

11/22
Sun enters Sagittarius - We are energetic, optimistic, hungry for knowledge, and focused on truth.

11/23
Sun conjunct South Node - dejavu, recollections of the past, “karma”
Sun Opposite North Node - your personal strengths are highlighted

11/24
Mercury enters Sagittarius - brutal honesty, whistleblowing
Mercury conjunct South Node - messages/truths from the past

11/25
Mercury opposite North Node - strategizing toward your goals

11/26
Saturn Sextile Chiron - self discipline
Venus sextile Mars - romance and socializing
Ceres opposite Vesta - family vs work

11/27
Sun opposite Ceres - ego vs family
Mercury opposite Ceres - thoughts and ideas out of sync with your family

11/28
Sun conjunct Mercury - sharp thinking,mental alertness
Sun conjunct Vesta - enthusiasm for work/goals
Ceres quincunx Juno - emotional needs in relationship are out of whack
Mercury conjunct Vesta - strong vibes for work or passion project

11/29
Mars trine Neptune - sensual and creative
Mercury sextile Saturn - clear thinking, good judgement



ARIES - The nodes are on your 3rd and 9th axis, emphasizing communication and learning. I just opened to this from Grandma’s Gibran journal (too perfect): “Knowledge and Beauty - I now want to know all the things under the sun, and the moon, too. For all things are beautiful in themselves, and become more beautiful when known to man. Knowledge is life with wings”. The Knight of Pentacles pops up, indicating a conservative and wise approach to things, particularly financial planning. Do your homework about investments. Move through life with precision rather than your usual charge ahead tendency. Slow down and enjoy life’s wonders, and plan your future to incorporate more beauty into your life.

TAURUS - The nodes are on your 2nd and 8th axis, emphasizing money matters and things you value. Gibran says: “Other Seas - A fish said to another fish, ‘Above this sea of ours there is another sea, with creatures swimming in it - and they live there even as we live here.’ The fish replied, ‘Pure fancy! Pure fancy! When you know that everything that leaves our sea by even an inch and stays out of it, dies. What proof have you of other lives in other seas?” The 9 of Swords pops up, indicating anxiety and fear, as well as over thinking. Maybe you don’t need proof of something to believe in it. Just because your mind can’t figure it out doesn’t make something not true. Trust that unseen forces will help all the financial ducks line up the way they need to for your highest good.

GEMINI - The nodes are in your 1st and 7th houses, emphasizing self and others, self identity and identity as mirrored in relationships. Gibran: “The New Pleasure - Last night I invented a new pleasure, and as I was giving it the first real trial and angel and a devil came rushing toward my house. They met at my door and fought with each others over my newly created pleasure; the one crying ‘It is a sin!” - the other, “It is a virtue!” Interesting that Gibran does not say who said what. The 2 of wands is about new projects and long term plans. This card is also about balance; in this case, balance between self and other, as well as balance of pleasure.

CANCER - the nodes are in your 12th and 6th houses of service, work, and spirituality. Grandma’s Gibran journal: “Crime and Punishment - The one of the judges of the city stood forth and said, ‘Speak to us of Crime and Punishment.’ And he answered, saying: ‘It is when your spirit goes wandering upon the wind, that you , alone and unguarded, commit a wrong unto others and therefore unto yourself. And for that wrong committed must you knock and wait a while unheeded at the gate of the blessed.” This verse is tricky but when you read the paragraphs after this one it becomes more clear, and it is perfect for the 6th and 12th houses. He’s talking about the essence of God within each of us, and how we are all connected and equal. One man’s crime belongs to all of us. And the Hierophant card...wow. This is about teaching and tradition, community and religion. Spend some time in the energy of the collective, both in your physical body, and in your soul.

LEO - The nodes are in your 11th and 5th houses of friends, hopes and dreams, and fun, pleasure and romance. Your Gibran verse: “Form and Content - What a man wants to say determines how he says it. If he has a vision of life, he is always putting that vision before us - in different forms. We unconsciously contradict ourselves when we say we like a man’s style and not his ideas. Style and ideas are one.” This one is fascinating to me. Our form is a reflection of our content. In your case, your hope and dreams are projected onto your life in a way that determines how you see life and how others see you. Your friends are a reflection of you, as are your children. The page of cups speaks to inspiration and creativity (hello, 5th house!) Listen to your intuition and your sleep dreams! (so cool!)

VIRGO - The nodes are in your 10th and 4th houses, emphasizing your public life (work) and your private life (home and family). Gibran - “Place is All-Important - Said a gracious wolf to a simple sheep, ‘ Will you not honor our house with a visit?’ And the sheep answered, ‘We would have been honored to visit your house if it were not in your stomach.” Be aware of the invitations you receive, both professionally and personally. The Empress card is the ultimate motherly, feminine archetype. Protect your own sheep, and listen to your intuition about offers that seem too good to be true.

LIBRA - The nodes are in your 9th and 3rd houses of learning and communication. Grandma’s Gibran journal opened to this for you: “The Abode of Happiness - Then my heart spoke to the daughter of Love and said ‘Where is contentment, O Love? I had heard that it shared with you this dwelling.’ And she answered: ‘Contentment is away preaching in the city, where is corruption and greed; we are not in need of it in this place." Where there is real love, there is contentment, even in difficult times. This reminds me of Jesus, who hung out with “sinners” and “whores” etc. He didn’t hang out with the Pharisees and Priests, he hung out with those who needed Him most. The Lovers card - it obviously speaks to strong union, but also to balance, and mutual protection, mutual admiration. Expression of love is especially important when contentment is “not at home”. Love is a choice and an action, not just an automatic emotion.

SCORPIO - The nodes are in your 8th and 2nd houses of monies, as well as value, and taboo. Gibran: “Values - Once a man unearthed in his field a marble statue of great beauty. And he took it to a collector who loved all beautiful things and offered it to him for sale, and the collector bought it for a large price. And they parted. And as the man walked home with his money he thought, and he said to himself, ‘how much life this money means! How can anyone give all this for a dead carved stone buried and undreamed of in the earth for a thousand years?’ and now the collector was looking at his statue, and he was thinking and he said to himself, ‘What beauty! What life! The dream of what a soul! - and fresh with the sweet sleep of a thousand years. How can anyone give all thai for money, dead and dreamless?’” This is the ultimate “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” tale. The 6 of Wands is about accomplishments. Recognition, a raise, or a promotion, are headed your way. Or it may be something seemingly small and simple like your name on a door or some new colored pens. Whatever...It may be something that others would find meaningless but what’s important is that you are proud of your accomplishments. Who cares if others don’t get what the big deal is!

SAGITTARIUS - The nodes are in your 7th and 1st houses of relationship with others and identity of self. Gibran to you: “A Question of Viewpoint - A woman protested, saying, “Of course it was a righteous war. My son feel in it”. This is so perfect for Sagittarius, being ever the philosopher. Your viewpoint determines how you see and experience the world, and that is true of each individual. Your viewpoint determines how you see others and how you value them as well. You could love the same person in 2 very different times of your life and have a very different experience with them because how you experience yourself has changed! The Ace of Swords asks for total objectivity and truth, logic over feelings. But I’ll leave you with this: Don’t your feelings and beliefs color your logic? And isn’t that OK?

CAPRICORN - The nodes are in your 6th and 12th houses of work, body, habits and daily grind, and secrets, spirituality and shadows. I love this Gibran for you: “The Fulfillment of Creation - Always you have been told that work is a curse and labor a misfortune. But I say to you that when you work, you fulfill a part of earth’s furthest dream, assigned to you when that dream was born, and in keeping yourself with labor, you are in truth loving life, and to love life through labor is to be intimate with life’s inmost secret”. I mean, DAMN, Gibran is on point! That is so perfect for the workaholic Capricorn. The Knight of Wands is about enthusiasm and passion and “gettin after it”. Others may not understand it (a Virgo would), but you truly may find spiritual fulfillment in work, particularly when you are in service to others. Sacrifice unlocks your karmic secrets and sets you free.

AQUARIUS - The nodes are in your 5th and 11th houses of fun, play, creativity, children, and friends, hopes and dreams. I cannot even believe how spot on Gibran is with these random verses! For you: “Charity - It is well to give when asked, but it is better to give unasked, through understanding; And to the open-handed the search for one who shall receive is joy greater than giving. And is there aught you would withhold? All you have shall someday be given.” I’m just blown away with how Aquarian that is! Humanitarian of the zodiac, you understand this better than almost anyone.The King of Swords is an authority figure, a community leader, and an ally. That is you. A giving project with your kids and friends for the holidays might fill your cup nicely!


PISCES - The nodes are in your 4th and 10th houses of family and work. Gibran for you: “Companionship - Give your hearts, but not into each others’s keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together yet not too near together; For the pillars of teh temple stand apart; and the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.” I love this one. I could be wrong but I think this is one of Gibran’s most famous love poems. And wow, so perfect for Pisces! It speaks to the partnership of lovers... Independent but together. This can be a little bit challenging for a Pisces, who tends to merge into its partners. The Ace of Cups is about new beginnings, new relationships, or a deepening of love after a lot of work. Remember who you are as an individual, because that is who your partner loves, and help your partner remember who they are as well. A renewal is imminent.

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Taurus - BitchScopes for November 15-22

I feel like there's a lot of shadow energy afoot this week. Your dark side needs some air. Your wounds need healing.  You may find you feel pissy, resentful about how you've been wronged in the past.  You of course have to ya know...not go to jail. But give your feelings a voice.  Better yet, let that shit go under the Full Taurus Moon with a nice fire ceremony. 

The big news is of course. the partial Lunar eclipse in Taurus. This eclipse starts a new cycle of eclipses in Taurus and Scorpio. This is a super juiced Full Moon, and as such is a time of deep releases and revelations about self worth. Our physical bodies are emphasized, as is our need for security. This full moon aspects Jupiter and Venus, really doubling down on the concept of what we feel we are worth. Things that are not in alignment with that will be shown the door. We need to be light on our feet, as Uranus is also active during this eclipse. All eclipses are realignments and course corrections. Uranus makes that a bit more unpredictable than a regular eclipse, which in my opinion are already unpredictable.

Whatever comes about is good for you, even though it may feel annoying at best, and painful at worst. It's nothing to freak out about. I get really annoyed with the doom and gloom of some astrologers. We aren’t cavemen. No need to curl up in the fetal position and quake. Just try to stay present and aware. Do your grounding exercises several times a day. Move slowly and deliberately. Drive carefully. Wear clean underwear (? I just felt like I was rattling off a lot of momish advice so I threw that in). You know what though, don’t wear underwear. See what happens. Trust the process, even if it seems weird this week.


Nov 15
Sun square Jupiter - confident, proud...tendency to go overboard. Moderation recommended
Sun quincunx Eris - suppression of discord. Feeling your point of view is stiffled
Venus square Chiron - your emotional needs may be overlooked by your partner
Venus sextile Pallas - good teamwork and mutual support

Nov 16
Sun sextile Pluto - desire for power and success
Sun quincunx Eris - overcoming past repression

Nov 17
Mars opposite Uranus - outbursts of anger are possible; impulsiveness
Venus enters the Shadow - watch how your relationships and self worth feel and behave

Nov 18
Mercury trine Neptune - creativity and imagination
Jupiter sextile Eris - go ahead and show your dark side, it benefits you at this time
Venus trine Uranus - urge to try new things

Nov 19
Full Moon/ Partial Lunar Eclipse  at12:57 am PST  27° Taurus - Deep releases; examinations of self worth, relationships, and personal growth.
Vesta opposite North Node - determination about meeting your purpose
Juno quincunx North Node - partner’s needs may overshadow your professional goals temporarily
Mars quincunx Lilith - your desires and ambitions may be repressed, or feel stifled

Nov 20
Mercury square Jupiter - positive mindset; long term planning
Mercury quincunx Eris - hard to express your deep and more difficult feelings and opinions. Communication can be less direct, but deeper

Nov 21
Sun enters Sagittarius - we are more truthful, bold, adventurous
Mercury sextile Pluto - deep thinking and conversations



ARIES - Keep an eye on your checkbook and bank account. If possible, try to look at your automatic withdrawals and bill pays so there are no major surprises. You are just about ready for a change and you might have a pretty low threshold for bullshit. Particularly if you have made your desires known, or given directions to someone, and it was pretty much disregarded. As much as you’d like to grab hold of this and fling it around like a pit bull with a toy, let it go and let the Universe handle it. .

TAURUS - This is a biggun for you. You have gone through a significant growth process and will continue to. The relationships in your life (not just romantic) have been a big part of this development. Expectations of you may be high, but not nearly as high as the ones you hold for yourself. Ease up on yourself a bit. Good things are coming! A new era is trying to form, and that is as complicated as it sounds. Just have faith.

GEMINI - You may be Princess-and-the-Pea’ing this week, feeling irritated AF by some very small issues. Your mind will want to fixate on fixing it or finding it or otherwise solving it. But the fact is, it is probably fine as it is and the world will keep turning if you let this issue go. You may be frustrated with lack of movement in your career (or maybe relationship). If so, turn to a trusted old hobby or outlet that has made you feel like yourself in the past.

CANCER - Find an outlet and do it ASAP.Your friend circles may be a bit dramatic or screwy, and the Full moon only emphasizes that. Seek out a disinterested 3rd party, unload your raw feelings, and then go do some guerilla kindnesses (you know, leave flowers on a porch, knock on the door and run, or write nice messages on the sidewalk or leave one on a car. ) What you need is a release... some really stupid fun...some laughing til you pee, ridiculous, childish/child-like good times.

LEO - You’re about to level up, professionally. But of course that means you will need to balance things with the home and fam. And it also means that there are bound to be some adjustments and changes to your projects/clients etc. There is a certain catharsis you can expect this week too. Maybe you feel safe enough to share something with someone that you haven’t in the past. The time is right, so just follow your gut.

VIRGO - If there is something you have put off doing, do it. This eclipse will shake things up for your 9th house, indicating travel, education, adventure, and philosophy. In regard to the latter, you may have to agree to disagree with a difficult person or client this week. It isn’t going to be easily resolved until later. So try to keep your cool and find a release in some kind of adventure.

LIBRA - Finances continue to be a theme. Or maybe it is not actually cash money, but the value you place on something, or how you feel valued. A revelation is likely this week regarding something you’ve been stressed about. You are aligned. Trust your gut to lead you in the right direction. If you feel like what’s in front of you doesn’t reflect your worth, let it go.

SCORPIO - While your heart may seek a deep connection this week, you may be cornered in a relationship that doesn’t fit the bill. This may be professional, but it is very likely temporary and exists to shake up your brain a bit. If a big change comes to mind as a result of this, guess what...its right on time. Your creative side will lead the way.

SAGITTARIUS - You may be caught between a desire to be alone and a desire to grow a certain relationship that has been difficult to nail down. A secret or other hidden information may come to light this week, offering an opportunity to make progress on that same difficult relationship or issue. Spend some time thinking about your purpose in the world. Hint: its something that makes you feel excited, interested, and fulfilled and you’re already good at it.

CAPRICORN - It may be irritating to hear this but the hardships you’ve been through recently are creating fertile ground for a new start. This eclipse falls in your house of fun and romance, so you might be able to spice up your life a bit, and it is likely to have some staying power. A realization and conversation may happen out of the blue this week, offering some progress and maybe relief on a difficult issue within your family. Remember...fertilizer.

AQUARIUS - Family drama may be afoot. There is healing and growth behind this issue though, so try to trust the process. Your work life may pull on your home life as well, upsetting a schedule you’re trying to establish. Good fences make good neighbors, and good boundaries make good clients. Your creative energy is high right now, so you are likely to be very productive. This Full Moon can help you kick off a new professional era.

PISCES - Pay attention to who crosses your path this week. You are likely to meet someone interesting, particularly if you are traveling. This moon may stir up your mental energy quite a bit too, so write things down. New opportunities may arise out of seemingly no where, and they may not be your dream role, but its pretty damn good all the same. Trust the process.

"All the world's a stage" - BitchScopes for Nov 8th - 15th

There’s quite a lot going on this week in terms of transits. So to get the big picture I brainstormed some key words to sort of tell a story.

Compassion, disappointment, aggressive, alone, frustrated, family is needy, overwhelmed, desire to be understood, overprotective, confident, overcompensating, triggered, anxious, awkward, ignored, proud, supported.

You can see how this week almost plays out like a theater production in 5 acts and comes full circle: introduction/exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, dénouement/resolution. The energy sort of peaks around Wednesday and Thursday and then starts to settle down a bit.  I would say that the resolution this week lies in “Saturn trine Ceres” on the 14th and “Venus sextile Pallas” on the 15th.

Mercury is very active this week, so communication is emphasized. Be very conscious of your words, and that you understand other people’s words. Ceres makes 6 transits this week, emphasizing care for others. There are 7 quincunxes this week, suggesting that we will need to adjust to find common ground in various situations. Mars makes several appearances too, which means we might feel frustrated or put-upon based on how situations or others may squelch our actions. And Chiron shows up more than usual as well...so whatever is happening is about healing. I feel this healing is around some kind of anger from the past. So there is a lot to try to be aware of. Try to be slow and deliberate with your words and actions. Stay grounded and tuned in. Avoid distractions when you are interacting and communicating with others.

Good luck out there, Bitches. You’ve got this! Go Team!

ARIES - This is your reminder that the personal successes on which you stand today are built on the failures of the past. Failure IS an option, and moreover, is sometimes required for us to get the hint that we need to adjust our course. Your instincts and intuition will not let you down. The problem lies only in your ability to discern your intuition from the other noise. It’s not always easy. But here’s your hint: if it feels like contraction, pass it by. If it feels like expansion, say yes!

TAURUS - “Not all fields will yield fruit”. Take a look at the partnerships (likely business, possibly friendship, less likely romantic) that you have invested a lot of time and energy in and be honest with yourself about whether it is reciprocal and mutual. You are generous to a fault, and you know that. You may be stuck between 2 people and forced to take a side. Don’t. You don’t have all the information, and this situation doesn’t benefit you. You would do better to shift your focus to a tree that bares fruit, even if it is hard to walk away from something you’ve been so invested in.

GEMINI - This is your “get out of jail free” card. If you have been in a competitive or divisive or generally ugly situation, you can let yourself off the hook. Staying in this situation will do nothing for you. It may take a little time, and you may get frustrated trying to extricate yourself, but do it. Regain control. Push forward. Move. (And in case this might apply...wait to take the trip.)

CANCER - Ok bitch, listen. Pump your brakes. Stop right where you are and reassess. There are some opportunities that you are about to miss because you’re on auto pilot, or you’ve followed an opportunity and leaped before you looked. Whatever the case, staying the current course will result in a brick wall of sorts. You may need a figurative tow truck, and that’s ok. But it won’t show up unless you call them. In other words, life helps those who help themselves.

LEO - Something is out of whack, out of balance...but you already know that. The good news is that you are about to break free of something that has held you back or held you down, and that’s a great thing! Restoring equilibrium to this situation will take a little time. But you will know when you are on target when you start to feel excited, enthusiastic, exuberant, about the direction you’re heading. This is just a course correction...don’t sweat it, don’t resist it, don’t try to steer it.

VIRGO - It looks like something will be revealed to you soon that will upset the apple cart quite a bit (this feels professional to me, but also like maybe you let your feelings blind you…?) You can work in extremes at times, either very trusting or very cynical. In this situation you may have been a bit naive and placed faith in someone who has well...screwed up pretty significantly. OR, maybe someone trusted you and you are about to get busted? I don’t love that for you at all. But this will set the stage for a fresh new start.

LIBRA - There definitely appears to be something financial or of the physical plane that is causing concern right now. Maybe you feel held back, or like there are endless delays before you get whatever this thing or situation is (travel may be involved). You are blinding yourself from the truth in some way. You’ve either told yourself some bullshit story about how you’ve failed, bought in to some limiting beliefs, or have held some beliefs around entitlement. Zoom out and see the bigger picture. You actually have everything you need already.

SCORPIO - There seems to be a lot happening and converging all at once. This is your reminder that endings are also beginnings. Someone has disappointed you, but if you’re honest with yourself, you may have had unrealistic expectations of them or the situation. You will need to make a decision, but you need to make this a clean translation. Don’t be rushed, or swayed, or manipulated. Likewise, don’t attempt to manipulate a person or situation just so you can maintain the status quo. This ending is actually very positive. Trust the process.

SAGITTARIUS - It is time to put aside some of your more child-like and maybe even childish behaviors and expectations of life. If you feel stuck and depressed, you may be in a prison of your own making (which isn’t to say that your depression is something you should suffer with. Reach out!). You will need to make some decision about what you want your life to be and move in that direction. This may begin as what feels like a drastic change, and possibly the loss of some relationships, but it will all lead to success and independence in the long run.

CAPRICORN - Artistic endeavors are highly favored for you, as is...wait for it...are you sitting down? Rebellion. Secretly you love that shit. On the surface you appear to be a person who really values traditions, but you also love to shake things up! Create something new, and don’t be afraid to think outside the box...and I don’t mean the boxes on your graph paper.

AQUARIUS - Are you being too bossy in your personal relationships? You may need to let go of some control and give your partner equal access to information, resources and decision making. On the flip side of things, the inequity may be in your partner's favor. it is possible that things are out of balance because your partner needs to step up a bit more. Be a bit more conservative with your finances until things are balanced, regardless of what the cause is of the imbalance.

PISCES - There is some strong, maybe even overbearing feminine (which may be male, but of an artistic and creative vibe. It might also be a company or business entity) energy around you which appears to be throwing a wrench in your progress. You might be better off putting a little distance in between you, or going your own way (particularly if this relates to business).The competitive and adversarial nature of this relationship is going to drain you in the long run. So either reinforce your boundaries, or see if you can navigate away from this energy.
