"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.

The Galactic Center, no big deal...BitchScopes for Nov 1 - 8

My favorite part of writing BitchScopes might be when I look at all the transits to determine what the theme is of the week. It’s pretty cool what happens in my brain and it seems to be almost an audible experience inside my head. That describes Mercury pretty accurately. And this week there is a lot of Mercury!

Deep thinking and exploration of our beliefs, philosophies and ethics are going to happen this week. You may not be so aware of it if you are not a Mercury ruled person, but it will be happening. There is a very strong theme of discovering our deeper, and maybe even our Divine, purposes here. Work, passion projects, and the area of your life where you are most devoted are all emphasized as well. Personal relationships make a brief visit to the party, but mostly in the form of how your partnership fits into your Divine purpose and soul’s journey. The North Node (The lessons we must learn in this life; where we are headed) is pretty strong this week, and we have the appearance of the Galactic Center, as we do every year when planets start transiting Sagittarius.

The Galactic Center is the rotational center of the Milky Way, and is thought to be the transmitter of Divine Consciousness, kind of like the Crown Chakra of the Galaxy. There is a similar vibe between the Lion’s Gate Portal and the Galactic Center, but there are important nuanced differences. The Lion’s Gate is more focused on our humanity, our limitations and boundaries as a physical being (emphasis on physical, making this more like the Root Chakra of the Milky Way), and opening up a portal that allows us to push past those limitations and manifest our dreams. The Lion’s Gate exists around the Star Sirius, which is associated with fame and glory, and opens around the Summer Solstice. The Galactic center is more of a Christ consciousness, located at about 27 degrees of Sagittarius (which the Sun transits around December 19th). The GC passes information along to our sub conscious minds from the Universe, and opens around the Winter Solstice, when the Sun is most still and the night is longest. We wait for the return of the Sun (or the birth of The Son, if you celebrate Christmas...not a coincidence.) and its light,

So yeah, (read with maximum sarcasm) no biggie that the Galactic Center is doing stuff this week. Aaaand, we have New Moon in Scorpio...a fresh start in the sign of transformations. Also pllfffft. Minor. The Sun and Moon oppose Uranus, so expect the unexpected...whatever that means. Stay open and grounded, bitches.

ARIES - I almost feel silly saying this to an Aries, but...be bold, especially when it comes to career or professional advancement. Use your voice and dig in your heels where necessary. If it is worth fighting for, then fight for it. Your 8th and 9th houses are activated by this week’s biggest events, so allow yourself to be transformed. Be brave enough to explore the dark, and stay open to learning something about yourself.

TAURUS - Your heart will be touched and opened up this week, particularly in regards to family. More love is needed, both for others and for yourself. Your family may need tending to, and if that is the case, tend to it with passion and focus and devotion. There is nothing more important right now. If you are deeply estranged from your family, spend some time connecting with your ancestors, or researching your family line or connecting to what you consider to be your chosen family.

GEMINI - Communication must be honest and objective this week. It is easy (for you) to argue someone down when they are clearly wrong. But this week, diplomacy is Queen. Where you find yourself completely annoyed, or even vexed, try to see both sides. If you allow your ire to run amok,you will stir up lingering trouble for no good reason. So try to flip the script when you can, even if someone is really stepping on your toes. There will be a time for you to say your peace and maybe even confront this, but the timing now is not good. So focus on the things in your life that you deeply appreciate.

CANCER - If you have been trying to avoid a fight, it may show up this week despite your best efforts. I suspect this is an issue around integrity, and it will feel important to you. It is ok to fight for what is right, but you may need to be tricky in this case. As much as it might annoy you to have to “play the game”, you are more likely to succeed if you are charming and and warm. Yes, I’m talking about “manipulation”, and it isn’t always an evil thing. Oh wait, look who I’m talking to..yeah...just do your thing.

LEO - You are due for a Victory. If you have been feeling defeated in a certain area, things will become clear soon, maybe even this week. Out of the dark places where we cry, new flowers grow, and that is exactly what will happen for you. I feel like this has a family or mother vibe around it, so if that is an area where you’ve been trying to find peace, use this new moon to your favor.

VIRGO - I continue to feel that you are emerging from something, Virgo. You are coming into (or back into) alignment with your purpose. As you continue to step in to more of who you authentically are, don’t feel rushed. It isn’t a race. The little things that catch your attention and distract you have meaning. So don’t feel like you must be perfectly austere and singularly focused. A few little side trips on your journey to the New You are good for you.

LIBRA - Are you second guessing your self already? Well that’s actually normal. It would be helpful if you were to do some work around security, and faith. You truly are OK. Use the moon this week to fine tune your manifesting goals. You have everything you need, except a little more faith in the process. If money is your concern, it may just be a bit delayed, so don’t worry. Balance is the key, as you know. So let the energies balance and trust that they will.

SCORPIO - You have the magic wand right now. Use this new moon to manifest. And then make bold moves toward what you really want. Lean on your tribe for help and advice, but realize that you are particularly blessed right now witht he power to transform things in your life. Joy is one of the keys to unlocking a financial step up for you. Embrace joy, and more joy will show up. And that energy is “the secret”...

SAGITTARIUS - You may feel more emotional than usual this week. Remember that these surges of emotions are coming up to provide healing. Keep swimming. Keep moving forward. Keep breathing. Keep pushing. Cry while you do the work. A lot of things are happening in your life all at once right now, and it can feel overwhelming. But you are safe, and this will pass. There will be a gift on the shore after the water recedes.

CAPRICORN - Realizations, some of them humbling, some of them empowering, are likely to be rolling through your mind this week. See the tough situation through to its end. Even if you are worried about people who do not have your best interests in mind, push the envelope right up to the line with them. Trust that the Universe has your back and will bring justice and balance to any situation. Sometimes it is you that needs to be taken down a notch, sometimes it is someone else. The conclusion of this issue is needed, and will be coming sooner than anticipated. Stay in integrity and things will go your way.

AQUARIUS - Harsh truths may need to come out this week or shortly there after, and this likely pertains to work or the people you work with in some way. Some of the harsh truth will be said by you, and trust that your voice is speaking for more than just yourself. Some of the harsh truths will come from others. But do not doubt that you are strong enough to take on whatever this fuckery is. As much as you dish out, be willing to take the same amount. Ultimately this situation will level you up significantly in more than one way.

PISCES - There may be a possibility that you are overlooking. Are you determined to stay on a particular path just because you have stayed on it this long? What if an adjacent path offered more of what you truly want? Use the new moon to tune in to your deeper desires so you can manifest them. And don’t be afraid of exploring your dark side...without darkness, the light means nothing.

"Because you're worth it" BitchScopes for October 25 - November 1

The Sun is in Scorpio now, and this is one of my favorite transits and times of the year. My love for this season is in part due to the weather, but I also just love the energy of this time of year. I feel like people are more open somehow. Or maybe they just feel easier to read, since I am an empath. The other side feels nearer, which is strangely comforting.

This week has some intense moments. Scorpio is part of that, but the Sun squares Saturn on Saturday and that can be a bit of a downer for some. However, some people feel productive and focused during that aspect. There is definitely room for productivity, discovery, and power plays this week. Mercury is a bit all over the place, so we may be a bit moody and maybe even conflicted. When Mercury moves into Scorpio on the 5th, that conflict will melt away and be replaced with clarity and depth. Until then, we may be better served by just focusing on ourselves and enjoying whatever is around to offer enjoyment. Interactions with difficult people could be frustrating and interactions with new people may leave us feeling a bit bored or unimpressed. Rose colored glasses are something to be aware of this week too. If you temporarily pull back from other people a bit, you are likely to enjoy your own company more than usual. Writing and poetry and whatever kind of music floats your boat are favored this week.

Shave your legs, change your sheets, open your windows, and drink the good wine. It’s that kind of week...enjoy it.

Venus square Neptune - self sooth, self care, insecurity, not seeing self clearly

Oct 28
Venus sextile Jupiter - social fun

Oct 30
Sun square Saturn - heaviness
Venus trine Eris - sexual power
Mars enters Scorpio - passion, empowerment, competitiveness
Mercury quincunx Neptune - confusion in communication and understanding

Oct 31
Mercury trine Jupiter - optimism

Nov 1
Mercury opposed Eris - intense communication and exchanges


ARIES - The Scorpio sun lights up your juicy 8th house, suggesting that interpersonal and intimate relationships are at the forefront. Old “stuff” and feelings may rise to the surface from the depths where you thought you left them. They come up now for complete healing and positive transformation. You are encouraged to say yes to opportunities and adventures this month, but follow your gut and don’t force yourself.


TAURUS - Your 7th house of “others” is activated by the Scorpio sun. You are in a transition of some kind in your life. Let the Universe reveal to you the people who will make up your new tribe (it may still contain some long term members). Listen to your heart this month, and let the reflections of your friends show you who you are (It will be affirming).


GEMINI - It is time to reclaim your schedule and your routine, and be more in service to yourself. This time of year, your mental bonfire can take a backseat to more sensory input thanks to the season. As you allow yourself to take it in, also do some emotional work around forgiveness of self and others this month. Rearrange your obligations, appointments, or whatever is within your control, and design a routine that feels more nourishing to you.


CANCER - Your 5th house of play is lit up during Scorpio season. You can bite off a big ol’ hunk of magical belief and frolic in the mystery of the season. You can let go of practicality for a bit and just let your inner child jump in the puddles and leaves and give your whole self a break from reality. Your cup will also be refilled by being around the sights and sounds of water. Even if it is just the sound of your bathtub filling up, let your mind wander while you do so.

LEO - The parts of your personality that are normally extroverted may be lingering around the home front quite a bit more this season. Whatever you do, build a fire in your fireplace or firepit and really feed that Leo soul. This time closer to home will offer you healing and security. If you feel you’ve been wronged either recently, or something from the way back past has risen to the surface, the literal hearth can offer a lot of healing and safety. Lean in to your family (chosen or birth) or roots to gather in the wisdom and love of others.


VIRGO - This Scorpio season it is time for you to use your voice, literally. If you are a writer, it is time to put yourself out there. If you have been avoiding the spotlight out of fear or timidity, lean in to the energy of Scorpio to give you boldness. If there is something you need to say to someone, this is the time. It is OK to stand out from the crowd, even if you do feel incredibly vulnerable while doing it.


LIBRA - This Scorpio season, get out your manifesting wares and get busy. You have an opportunity to bring a long held dream into fruition. The timing is right, and when opportunity knocks, you’ll be ready to answer. Trust the Divine to bring this to you. You may feel uncomfortable at first about surrendering control and feeling like you need to work harder to have more. Remember: joy is your Divine birthright. Let it show up for you.


SCORPIO - This is obviously your time to shine. But your time doesn’t just begin and end with Scorpio season. Use this time of year to really give back to yourself. Nurture yourself. Spoil yourself to the extent that you’re able (and that doesn’t always require money if that’s your excuse). Luxuriate more. Fill your home with sensory gifts. Do something as simple as taking better care of your skin, because really we are talking about the 1st house...and that kind of IS your skin, isn’t it? Anyway, be Oprah for yourself this month.


SAGITTARIUS - You’re going through a really deep journey at the moment, and parts of it are difficult. But other parts are blissful. If you aren’t experiencing the latter, then maybe you need to let yourself off the hook just a bit. Day dream. Fantasize. Recall the wishes and dreams and longings you had when you were younger. A lot of things are going to fall in to place for you next year. Take this time, in this season of diving deep, to remember the desires of your soul.


CAPRICORN - Change the pace of your life a bit so that it matches the rhythm of your soul. Great accomplishments are ahead for you, but rushing and burning the candle at both ends won’t get you there any faster. Some things you must just surrender to Divine timing. As the child of Saturn, you know this already. So settle down. Slow down. When was the last time you allowed yourself to be swept up in the energy of the holidays? You need that, so step in to the healing glow of twinkle lights and fireplace chats and thinking about making your dreams come true.


AQUARIUS - Your career is slated for a significant breakthrough pretty soon. But your moral compass may be tested in the meantime. Are you ready to handle the additional power that you will have? What about the money? What about the attention? The Universe will be letting you practice what you preach in preparation. Walk the walk, and be brave and honest.


PISCES - Take time during this deep season to examine your personal beliefs and philosophies about life, love, success, etc. Are you surrounded with people who inspire you? Do you give too much power to the opinions of other people in regards to the direction of your dreams? Your own voice is the most important. There is healthy compromise, and there is unhealthy compromise...do you know the difference? Take time this month to figure that out.
