It's a lot...BitchScopes for December 13-20


Alright! Here we are, y’all. This week the much touted, often grimly painted Venus retrograde begins. I have read so much garbage about this. Look, can shitty things happen during a retrograde? Of course. Shitty things happen every day, and all we have to blame it on is ourselves, our cats, our mothers, or the moon. So we get excited when we have something else to blame! Fact is, we’ve had a lot of sweeping change type transits, including some pretty juicy and potent eclipses…oh, eclipses. Another thing that many astrologers love to spin people into a tizzy about.


So here’s the thing: if you hate your job, you may decide to quit. If your boyfriend or girlfriend is kind of an asshole who doesn’t treat you well, you may decide to end it. You may decide the Lexus you bought was not a great deal after all, or that your new hair style is so bad that you want to shave your head. But if you’re mostly happy with your job, your hair, and your partner, things are probably going to tick along like “normal”. But..are you ready to feel more valued? Are you ready to feel better about yourself? Are you ready to have a job that pays you what you deserve (not what you delusionally want or think you deserve based on the overhyped shit your mom told you when you were 14 and being mercilessly bullied and she didn’t want you to kill yourself…what you deserve based on your skills and education and what you offer the company and clients)? Ok then. Let’s do that.

Venus retrograde will have us examining how we feel valued and what we value and why. It can bring clarity. Like Mercury retrograde, you can harness this to improve your life. Venus retrogrades the least often of any of the planets, so we do tend to feel this more personally. But you can use this period to work on self love, valuing yourself, planning money and resources for the next several months. Fairness, justice and balance are also on the docket. But like eclipses, even when the changes feel icky at first, they are always for our highest good. For instance, If you are in a relationship that you know isn’t going well, you may just finally pull the plug on it. I did this in 2017 during Venus retro (as it turned out, I met him during the previous Venus retro in 2015. Weird huh? The Venus retro in 2010 also marked relationship milestones for me. I moved in with a guy, against all better judgement, and the next retro in 2012 I was moving out). So, Ok…maybe be aware that relationships started under this, may also end under it. You might also try to resist the urge to buy expensive and luxurious items. Don’t drastically change your hair or overall appearance.

But enough about that. There’s other juicy stuff this week. The key here is to focus on yourself, your own behavior, your own words, your own needs. It isn’t selfish. If more people did that, we would actually be in much better shape to respond to the other people around us. Be willing to grow, in spirituality, in how you value yourself, in your relationships, in your career. Growth can cause aches and pains, so if you feel that in some area, it is probably a good thing. If you feel something more than “discomfort”, it might be an indication that something is off balance and needs correcting.

There is a lot of real and delusional “fate” at play this week. Things that happen will feel significant, important, powerful, and “meant to be” in some cases. The North Node makes some significant aspects, and the Sun’s conjunction to the Galactic Center is hard to ignore as well. Literally, things that happen will be “hard to ignore”. It will be important for you to listen to your gut if you are dating, because on the one hand you may meet someone who really is aligned with your life purpose. On the other hand, you may be wearing the Venus beer goggles. If it seems too good to be true, if he is love bombing you early on, if he says all the right things but doesn’t follow through…red flag!!!

To further complicate this week, especially if you are dating or in a committed relationship, there’s a Full Moon in Gemini. Gemini rules information, and full moons are known to illuminate truths that were previously hidden. So you can expect some new information or news to show up, depending on where Gemini falls in your chart. Luckily, this Full Moon is trine Jupiter, so this information will benefit us. However, the moon is also quincunx Venus and Pluto (Venus and Pluto are conjunct) so there’s difficulty of expression and/or an imbalance of power, affection, or money. It’s likely that we may feel emotionally needy, or have an increased need for affection, but a difficulty in getting it, or expressing the need. Perhaps we struggle with vulnerability.

It’s a lot, and just in time for the thick of the Holiday season. (Holy Crap…I took my kids shopping Saturday and it was so chaotic I wondered if we were in World War Z or something!) Stay grounded and alert. Stay tuned in to yourself. Express your truths and needs with your loved ones openly and honestly. Be transparent and conservative with your finances. Hug your people. Hug your self. Hug your cat.

This isn’t doomsday, it just feels like it in most parking lots. Lean in to love.

  • Mars opposite North Node - tension that can provide motivation toward your goals

Dec 15
  • Sun trine Eris - your rebellious nature (OR true authentic self) can find an outlet and have center stage
  • Uranus trine Juno - possible breakthroughs in committed relationships particularly around trust

Dec 17
  • Vesta opposite Lilith - your rebellious ideas (the stuff that doesn’t fit in society’s tidy boxes) can fuel your career at this time

  • Ceres conjunct North Node - Your nurturing side can take the lead, somewhat effortlessly. It will just happen.

Aries - This week, and for the next few, you are likely to be made aware of some new information that will have you really pondering your career path. It will take a minute for you to process this information. Ultimately, whatever this is will lead you to a better position in one way or another. You will have the upper hand, or the inside info needed to negotiate a raise, a promotion, or a new specialty that interests you. This will be a process unfolding for the duration of Venus in Capricorn. But come next April, you stand to be in a much better position!


Taurus
- You may be feeling a little beat up lately. Money is an issue that seems to keep coming up. Education of some kind is the key to unlocking more money. The Full Moon will show you some places where your money has been “leaking” or not properly channeled. Over the next few months you will be able to clear up some old debts and agreements that are truly finished. Going forward, you need to look carefully at either taking some classes to advance yourself or teaching as a means of adding to your income stream. It could be any kind of teaching, really. But this would be at a college or beyond level, ideally. Next year will be busy, so stay organized.


Gemini
- The next few weeks will have you examining your role in your personal relationships and how it may be shifting in the near future. If things have felt out of balance in the past, that will change. Shared resources (and other people’s money such as taxes, winnings, inheritances) are highlighted by Venus’ travels through Capricorn. Organization, notes, reminders, and yes, even spreadsheets, will be your friend as you level up your status, and the complications that can go with that.


Cancer - Slow your roll, Crabby Patty. You’ll want to give yourself room in your schedule where possible, over the next several weeks. You will need time and space to process some information and realizations you are likely to have after this Full Moon. It may be that a secret comes to light, or that information you have been in a bit of denial about is no longer avoidable. You may be able to figure out something regarding your health that has been a bit of an annoying mystery, or realize a habit you have that you thought was good may be contributing to a problem. You will need your partner to be stable and reliable during this period, as you give yourself some legit rest on a regular basis.


Leo
- Information about a friend or associate may come to light after this Full Moon. It isn’t earth shattering, just unexpected. Your work/play balance may be off kilter, and you’ll need to either force yourself to take a break, or make yourself do the boring stupid tasks you get paid to do. Ugh. Some of this balance issue may lead to some awareness in your body. That exercise you do may be contributing to your pain, not helping it…or something like this. Venus in Capricorn is going to ask you to pay more attention to your physical being for a several weeks, so just do it. Capricorn is not fun to try to negotiate with…


Virgo
- The full moon will light up information around your career house, and you may have to make some adjustments to keep things moving in the right direction. One of those adjustments may be your work/family balance. Some family issues from times past may show up around this time, so keep your cool. If you have children, the way you parent may be a focus for several weeks. You may need to be a little more conservative or strict to correct something. This could also apply to pets, depending on your placement. OR that family issue you’re dealing with may have something to do with the way you were parented. Oh, the holidays…good times. Stay cool, and seek out fun!


Libra - You may find yourself really changing your mind about something you thought you firmly believed in, and it may rock you a little. Beliefs are not meant to be static. In fact, the ability to change your mind is a sign of evolution, so embrace it. You may want to keep your thoughts to yourself for a while though, because under the current planetary influences, it may not come out right, or you may offend someone you don’t wish to offend (Which for a Libra is most everyone). Family money issues will be a focus while Venus is in Capricorn. If something is amiss or screwy, it should be much more resolved come April.


Scorpio
- Well you are pretty much the Queen or King of Intimacy among all the zodiac signs. This full moon may shed some surprising light on intimacy issues you were not aware of. For the next several weeks, you will want to be careful with your words and make sure emails are properly composed so that your point does not get missed, especially at work. Misunderstandings could affect your paycheck in some way.  But those intimacy issues could very well involve communication as well.  You aren't scared...it'll be fine!


Sagittarius - This full moon illuminates your relationships, so you may receive some information that was previously unknown or hidden. It isn't necessarily bad, so don’t let it mess with your head or your sense of self. Venus in Capricorn, even while retrograde, could make you some money. You may get some ideas during retrograde that you can put into action in the Spring to reap the benefits. This could also be some inklings about changing jobs or companies in order to see more value for your work.


Capricorn - Your body may be giving you some messages that you haven’t been listening to, but it will make itself loud and clear under this full moon. It could be something as ordinary as your menstrual cycle, or something a bit more complex. If you happen to have any kind of surgery scheduled, it will go well and provide the needed information. Venus retrograding in your sign will definitely affect the way you see yourself and how you present that self in the world. On the other side of this, you will have a better grasp of your true value as a person, employee, partner, etc. The growing pains may be unpleasant. But as much as you work, and love working, you grossly undervalue yourself in other aspects of life.

Aquarius - The good news is that romance seems to be on the horizon for you…real close! But feel things out properly before you commit to anything or anyone. Relationships started under a Venus retrograde are often false starts, or fake outs. If that happens, know that the real thing is really close behind it. Enjoy the romance (and there will be some), enjoy the parties and the new friends, but don’t put a ring on anything!


Pisces - This next several weeks are all about your people. Friends, family, co-workers…they will all be tugging on your heart. The full moon is likely to show you some information about your family that you didn’t realize before. It could be mundane, or it could be profound, but it doesn’t feel terribly disruptive. Outside of your home life, you will be poised to really grab on to some professional opportunities, and they are likely connected to your friends, friends of friends, etc. You’re going to be busy, so self care and boundaries are going to be essential.

December is for faith, January is for spreadsheets BitchScopes for December 6-13


This week looks exactly like a week after a New Moon Solar Eclipse filled with sweeping change....because it is.  With the exception of Sunday’s Sun square to Neptune, this week is ripe for planning for the future, and motivation to achieve. Formation of new projects is highly favored. It could be interesting to see how said projects form, because on the one hand, Eris is wanting to buck the traditional, and on the other hand, Mercury in Capricorn wants to be practical and maybe even traditional. So I would suggest this: let the Sagittarian fire of motivation and desire burn freely. Take lots of notes, make your wild vision board, let your imagination run free. When Capricorn kicks in, you can review those notes and knock off the “unsuitable” edges.

Enjoy the creative process for the moment. Let the season inspire you (or, let the depression of the season inspire you...that also works) to aim high. Dream big. Feel the magic of co-creating with the badass energies like Eris and the Centaurian Archer. Let desire and belief propel your engine. December is for faith, January is for spreadsheets.

Mars and Venus are sextiling right now, so be on the lookout for opportunities and invitations. There is an easy flow between the very powerful placements of Venus in Capricorn (practical and committed) and Mars in Scorpio (a detective driven to uncover truth and deep connections) this week. Say yes more than no this week. Next week when Mars is in Sagittarius, you will feel inspired to pick up the ball and run with it, right into the Capricorn end zone. (OMG look at me making sports references! Who am I?)

I can’t wrap this up without saying that there is some sexy energy to this week as well. Chemistry may be hot, but be forewarned, Venus will be in Capricorn for an extra long time while she retrogrades (later this month), so flings and half-assed relationships are not favored, but commitment is. So be careful who you flirt with.


Dec 6
Mars sextile pluto - drive to achieve goals


Dec 7
Venus square Eris you may feel strong desires for freedom (and/or sex) but feel repressed in some way
Mercury square Neptune - distorts thinking

Dec 8
Mars square Jupiter - initiative to start new projects

Dec 9
Mercury trine Eris - expression of rebellious ideas is well received

Dec 11
Venus conjunct Pluto - desire for deep connection
Mercury sextile Jupiter - planning for the future is favored

Dec 12
Sun square Neptune - feeling unmotivated, vulnerable

Dec 13
Mars enters Sagittarius - very motivated, especially by our ideals and beliefs
Mercury enters Capricorn - serious and “proper” conversation, serious and practical thinking


ARIES - Your career continues to be an area of focus. The way you are valued or the pleasure you do or do not take in your work will be slowly transformed. Your desire to climb the ladder and achieve goals is stronger than usual at this time (and normally its nothing to shake a stick at!). Check your loan interest rates, stock options, and income streams that are not related to your work, as you may uncover some treats.

TAURUS - You are probably feeling restless, and ready for things to move on to the next phase already. Your itch to travel or experience some kind of freedom is somewhat dampened by obligations and boring shit like responsibility. But this is a very good time to explore new business relationships, negotiate contracts, and deepen existing relationships. Things will build up until around February and March, so do what you can to be ready for whatever that is.

GEMINI - Get thee to a massage and day spa, with haste! Ok it doesn’t really need to be “with haste”, but you do that naturally anyway. Your sensuality is heightened right now, and your physical body needs attention. Another reason for a massage is that perfectionism may be causing you stress. Progress over perfection is your mantra for the next couple months, at least.

CANCER - If you are married or partnered, get your honey and go on a date. Leave the kids at home or with grandma and go experience the magic of Christmas, adult style. Co-workers and employees could use some fun as well. So if it is within your power, see if you can organize some kind of holiday get together that has no business purpose, just pleasure.

LEO - Home is where the heart is and where you’d rather be most these days. In the quest for security and snuggles, be aware of not being too critical of the people you live with. That criticism may also be directed at yourself, specifically your body. Love your temple and honor it for the ways it serves you, daily. If you’re due for a dental check up, or a bone density test (yes, that’s oddly specific - Venus in capricorn in your 6th house), this is a good time to get it done.

VIRGO - You should be feeling confident and sharp as a tack these days. Take advantage of your clear and creative thinking right now. Your wit is sharper than usual, so do take care to not fling verbal barbs at someone without meaning to, or engage in hurtful gossip. Lean into any artsy or creative tendencies you have to channel that energy.

LIBRA - You may be feeling sensitive, and even a bit needy this week. Both emotionally and physically you will be desiring some deeper connection. Your focus will be on your home and family, so you could certainly fill that need with some quality time with them. But ideally, some intimacy would work wonders. If you’re partnered or married, I think you know how to scratch that itch. You may be a little preoccupied about money matters, but you need not worry. This area of your chart is well tended right now.

SCORPIO - Not that you are usually a wall flower, but you will be on fire for a couple weeks. Mars transiting your 1st house makes you bold and confident. Your energy level will be high, so put it to good use, but also be a good steward of your time. You will be more outspoken than usual during the next couple of weeks as well, and you know how you can get. Be nice. Be a problem solver, not a pot stirrer.

SAGITTARIUS - You can be very lucky with money these days. But watch your wallet, because the urge to splurge may be strong. This money will be earned, and come from work you do. “Practical arts” (I may have just made that up) are favored, which makes me think of “the trades” like construction and electrical and those types of jobs. The quandary here is that you will not feel much like working and people’ing as much as usual. Do some charity work or donate some time or items...that may fill your emotional cup and jump start your motivation.

CAPRICORN - Your charm volume is set to high for the next several weeks. Enjoy being as social as you wish and the attention you receive. If you’re thinking about changing your appearance, do it soon, or wait until the Spring. If you get that itch, avoid doing anything too drastic, just for now. Your participation in your workplace or other community may be challenging because you may be feeling rather argumentative and full of yourself. Chances are you are correct in your opinion, but keep your eye on the big picture rather than the little quibbles.

AQUARIUS - You may be feeling a bit Bah Humbug, and its OK. Aquarians are famous for loving humanity but hating humans, and that sounds about right for you at this time. Time alone to rest and reset is perfectly acceptable. This is especially true if you are clashing with authority figures (um, aren’t you usually?). Your career is poised to make a significant jump, but you don’t have to push. You will be noticed without a lot of extra effort. In other words, chill the eff out!

PISCES - You will benefit from being around lots of other people this week and possibly for a few weeks. Your expression of self will be most inspired and authentic when you are surrounded by a variety of people. Charitable events might also scratch an itch for you, especially if you attend with friends. Legal, religious, and educational issues are highlighted and will be positive for you this week.

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.)

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

Nov 30
Venus sextile Neptune - sensual and caring

Sun square Pallas - Personal vision and desire for autonomy may bump into Your desire for justice

Mercury opposite Lilith - feeling like you must fight to be heard; logic and passionate rebellion pulling against each other
Mars quincunx Eris - drive to overcome repression may need to be adjusted and redirected

Dec 6
Mars sextile pluto - drive to achieve goals


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.
