Waiting in the Wings - BitchScopes for 11/28-12/4

Hey glittery souls! (I know you all know I love glitter. But I saw a poster this week that said “cat hair is my glitter” and I obviously had to get it. My soul is surely at least partially made of cat hair!) I simply cannot believe that we are entering the last month of the year! It seems like I just flipped my calendar over to October! June through September are just hot and super annoying where I live, and those months drag on endlessly. I seriously get seasonal affective disorder in the summer the way snowbound and PNW people get it in the winter. So I wish this time of year went a bit slower, but no one is taking my requests so…here we are.

December doesn’t have any hold-on-to-your-ass transits. We do have a mercury retrograde at the end of the month, but I hope we are all mostly at the point of feeling like that is just like an inconvenience…like starting your period while you’re on your Hawaiian vacation. Sometimes things get undone, but intellectually we know these are course corrections and will ultimately benefit us. It’ll be fine. Otherwise, in December there are some cool sign change-overs and direction motions happening. The Capricorn energy will come later in the month. But we get a warm up this week…

In addition to Neptune dropping in to confuse things, Saturn makes an appearance before the Sun

moves into his sign this month. This is like when a performer shows up in the wings backstage before they make their grand entrance. If you’ve ever watched any stand up comedy on Netflix, you have seen the comedians kinda wiggling around and getting hyped before they go out. That’s how I’m seeing Saturn this week. Is Saturn a comedian? Um, I would say indirectly…yes, sometimes. Capricorns can be some of the funniest people around. I think some people deal with darkness and heaviness with humor. They are able to transmute human weirdness and wickedness and depression into memes and jokes and brilliant observations. Many famous comedians have a Capricorn moon. Aaaanyway, herrrrrrrrrrrresssss Saturnnnnnnn!!

Monday Mars trine Saturn say work hard, be responsible, and Saturn will gift us something…though Saturn’s gifts don’t show up immediately, which is why I think he gets a bad rap. Also his affiliation with Kronos, who ate his children so they would not usurp his power. Saturn needs a good PR person to straighten this out. Kronos should specifically be about politics and government. Look at me inventing shit like an Aquarius…anyway…

Tuesday Mercury opposes Mars and sextiles Saturn, so there’s a competitive energy in the air, but we will have access to good judgement and communication. I inserted the word “access” because I have a hard time seeing all people as having good judgement or communication. We all have our charts which give us gifts and challenges. Why am I so Aquarian today as I write this?!?

Wednesday Venus opposes Mars, which creates tension and passion. Passion must be harnessed properly or it becomes angry, so be aware of your reactions to things.

Thursday is a crap shoot. Venus sextiles Saturn, encouraging commitment and serious long-term commitments, but Neptune shows up and squares Mercury, making everything confusing.

Friday is almost a no pants day. But Mercury does trine Eris, which can give a rebellious attitude. But its Friday, so come 5 oclock, bitch it up however you like. You will find your cats will be supportive of anything you say.

The weekend is chock full of reasons to not look at your dating profile for a few days and maybe don’t go on any first dates. Neptune goes direct and squares Venus. Dishonesty and confusion abound. It will take Neptune some time to reach full speed ahead, but when he does, we will be taking off our rose colored glasses that we may have been wearing since the end of June. Hmmm, maybe some good will happen with abortion rights during the direct motion, because Roe was overturned on June 24th, so it got rolled up into Neptune’s la-la land. Neptune rules reproductive organs in astrology, and that initial supreme court leak happened during the Mercury shadow. Mercury had just entered Gemini for that shadow period leading into the retrograde, and Gemini tends to portend things happening twice or having to do something over. So revisions seem inevitable. Mercury will retrograde again this December in Capricorn, sign of Government… so….

Also during the weekend, the Sun makes a quincunx with the North Node and trines Chiron, indicating some healing of your individual self or your process of individuating from something or someone else.

Ok here’s your individual scopes for the week, ladies and gents …


ARIES - Saturn will be activating some energy in your 11th house of hopes and dreams, and the Sun and Mercury provide great energy to that from the 9th house of optimism and expansion. With Neptune going direct, energy and information you gained, probably subconsciously, during its retrograde can become reality. Mars in Gemini gives you the mental and intellectual power needed to get the practical facts in hand. All of this points to an over all week that is great for making your damn dreams come true! You’ve got all the facets covered: commitment, belief, practicality, smarts and opportunity. So even if you aren’t working on birthing anything specifically, I would highly recommend you do some manifesting around your long term dreams!


TAURUS - You’ve got Saturn activating your career house and the Sun and Mercury giving great energy around financing something. With Neptune going direct in your 11th house, the right people are going to show up soon to help you make whatever this is happen. Mars in Gemini is giving you the intellectual power to make that money, baby. All things seem to point to career success. Think about what you were manifesting (consciously or unconsciously) during last week’s new moon, because whatever that was is gaining traction under this week’s energy! You have permission to be excited.


GEMINI - Saturn has activated your 9th house of travel and expansion. This house also governs legal matters. It can be a weird place for Saturn, who is very serious, because the ruler of the 9th, Sagittarius, is jolly and optimistic and fun. Maybe you are visiting someone or someone is coming a long distance to see you. Your 7th house of partnerships is getting strong juju from the Sun and Mercury. So if there’s a long distance romance happening, it looks good from here. Neptune stationing direct will give a boost to your career, and Mars in your sign is giving you a personal pep talk and energetic power-up.


CANCER - Your unconscious mind is going to deliver some useful information to your conscious mind over the next few weeks. This isn’t even something you will probably register, because it will just occur to you as an idea or a memory or something that seems mundane. But it will be coming from someplace deep and mystical. This will probably nudge you to make some kind of changes in the way you work. Your work life has been on the radar for months. This is the 6th house, so it is about how you work, what your environment is like, and your routines. This could also pertain to a health matter because the 6th also rules that. So when you feel inspired to do something related to your health habits, follow that.


LEO - Well, this week sounds like same song that I’ve been singing to you for awhile. Somethin’ spicy is happening in your love life! Saturn is activating your 7th house of partnerships, the Sun is beaming into your 5th house of romance, and Pisces will be doing direct in your 8th house of intimacy. If you are single…Idanno. You might wanna shave your legs. Not right now. You can be hairy and relaxed for a bit. But when Mars goes direct in January, and then moves into other signs, a friendship could turn into something more! Alternately, I feel that intuitively this could be something related to your kid or a creative project, and some money received (like a grant or something).


VIRGO - Your career seems to be on a strong path, and that will continue. You may even get some acknowledgment this week from higher-ups or the public. There appears to be some home projects on the menu as well - you’re probably preparing your home for the holidays, and it looks like you might be hosting. Plan your menu ahead as well, which you’ve probably already had the nudge to do since Saturn has activated your 6th house. Because Saturn is in your home base 6th house, going the traditional route is perhaps your best bet for holiday everything.


LIBRA - Romance looks good for you this week, and may include some short distance travel. But Mars in Gemini is in your 9th house, drumming up ideas and desires for your next big vacation. This travel itch will be around for awhile. Truthfully, you could scratch it anytime, but when Mars goes direct in January, you might find better deals and opportunities. As Neptune moves direct in your 6th house, answers to health issues could finally be provided. That info likely won’t show up immediately or this week, but be on the lookout over the next several weeks, and maybe schedule tests in the new year.


SCORPIO - The view from here looks like you snuggled up at home with your family. If you have kids, they may be showing back up, as Neptune goes direct in your 5th house. That makes sense since kids will be soon returning home for school breaks. Because Mars is retrograde in your 8th house, be careful of going “apeshit” (as my mom says) with credit card debt when you shop for Christmas. The Sun is giving good juju to your house of income, so set a budget for yourself.


SAGITTARIUS - Well it is your birthday season, so of course the Sun is in your 1st house, giving you the spotlight. Saturn has activated your 3rd house of short distance travel and communication, so maybe some short trips for your birthday are on the docket. Your home and relationship houses have both had retrograde action for awhile. Neptune is going direct in your 4th house, so if you’ve had plumbing issues, you have a good chance of getting that fixed now. (Its hard to find good help!). Mars has been retrograde in your 7th house, so if, on the off chance your sex life has been lackluster, that will change in January. Until then enjoy the mental stimulation, which is a pretty big deal for you as well.


CAPRICORN - The pre-birthday blues might be taking hold of you as the Sun and Mercury are transiting your 12th house. But little by little, the energies are going to tickle you out of your gloom. Neptune will be going direct in your 3rd house, so communication in general could improve, and if you have siblings, communication there can see a boost over the next few weeks too. Mars is retrograde in your 6th house, so your health or energy levels may be meh, but that will improve either around or shortly after your birthday. But the fun news (for a Cap) is that Saturn, your ruler, is activating your 2nd house of income this week. Money is sexy when you’re a Cap, so enjoy it.


AQUARIUS - With Saturn in your sign and your 1st house of self, things you’ve been working on (the things that are really a part of who you are, like your branding) are taking shape. The Sun is currently in your 11th house (which is your home base) of hope and dreams and the people who help you achieve them. Neptune has been retrograding in your 2nd house, making budgeting difficult maybe due to fluctuating income or something like that. That will be improving with Neptune direct so you can have a much clearer picture of what you’re dealing with. Mars in Gemini, though retrograde, is tickling your 5th house due to some transits right now. Enjoy time with your lover, your kids, or your paintbrush…whatever applies.


PISCES - Your watery realm is highlighted more than usual this week. Saturn is in your 12th house (your home base), bringing structure and solidity to the feelings and dreams and mystical aspects of your life. And this week, your ruling planet, Neptune, goes direct in your 1st house of self. Things will start to crystalize into, dare I say…a plan…over the coming weeks. Don’t stress if your family or home life is feeling off with Mars retrograding there. It will feel more secure in January. It is Ok to focus on yourself and your career for the time being. The Sun is beaming into your 10th house of career and public life right now, so you should be feeling the love in this area of your life.
