Teenager Energy - BitchScopes for the Week of December 12-19

Mercurial - /mərˈkyo͝orēəl/ adjective subject to sudden or unpredictable changes of mood or mind.
Synonyms: volatile capricious temperamental excitable fickle changeable

It’s going to be a Mercurial kind of week, y’all. Mercury is busy and enters its shadow phase this week. Mercury will retrograde in Capricorn from December 29 until January 19th. We will begin 2023 in Mercury retrograde AND 2024. This month’s retrograde will usher in Mercury retrograding in earth signs until 2024. So starting this week, pay attention to what is happening for you around career, ambition, and public life. Things may get bumpy with authority figures or your social media presence, and other things that put you in the public eye. Obviously Capricorns and the other earth signs could feel this the most, as well as the other Cardinal signs of Libra, Aries, and Cancer. But honestly, generally Mercury retrogrades touch everyone to some degree.

This week Mercury also forms awkward quincunxes with Mars and Venus, and Mars and Venus quincunx each other, so disagreements and harsh words are possible. Again, just watch yourself. Fun fact: As someone who tells people every single week to “be aware”, you might (not) be surprised to know that I always step in the planetary shit I am warning you guys about. *eyeroll*

Mercury trines Uranus this week, which portends “exciting news”, and with Mercury in Capricorn territory, it is likely related to those 10th house things already mentioned. “Exciting” is subject to interpretation and experience and this is a good reminder that Mercury (or any) retrograde is not “bad”. A lot of great things can and do happen under retrogrades and it doesn’t mean they won’t “stick” or last. So Mercury trine Uranus could be a great thing. Optimism, bitches! Optimism!

Mercury trines the North Node this week, which gives your words a certain kind of magic and magnetism to attract good things and fated people that can help you toward your goals.

The Sun conjuncts the Galactic Center (every year at this time), and this is a time when we can get powerful spiritual downloads that can provide inspiration about our path and purpose. The Sun also trines Eris, increasing feistyness, but squares Neptune, decreasing motivation.

So this week is basically a teenager: moody, full of potential, but lazy and argumentative… Yes I would like a glass of wine, thanks. 

ARIES - The Sun and Galactic Center are in your 9th house of ambitions, and Mercury and Venus are in Capricorn in your 10th house of career. You could really be preparing (whether you are conscious of it at this time or not) to launch something big in your life. Neptune is in your 12th house, which can be a very psychic placement for it. It is squaring your 9th house of big dreams so you may be resisting some adjustments to your dream board. Mars is retrograding in your 3rd house, so your communication might be a little hampered, or your dialogue is mostly internal. That’s OK. You will come out with whatever feels right when it is right. Make sure your professional emails remain professional this week and going forward through Mercury retrograde, and likewise, keep your words in check. With your 10th house energy squaring your 3rd house, you might insert foot in mouth. 


TAURUS - The Sun and Galactic Center are in your 8th house of intimacy and secrets, and Mercury and Venus are in Capricorn in your 9th house of ambitions. This is a time when you can really take deeper knowledge of yourself and start to carve out a deeper or new path. Neptune is in your 11th house of friends squaring that deep 8th house, so your friends group may be changing because you are changing. Mars is retrograding in your 2nd house, so your money might be feeling tight. Use this time for budgeting, so that when Mars goes direct, it can shoot out of that bow like an arrow on target for making, having, and keeping more of your money. With your 9th house of big dreams squaring your 2nd house, make sure are not over extending yourself based on idealism alone.


GEMINI - The Sun and Galactic Center are in your 7th house of contracts, agreements and relationships, and Mercury and Venus are in Capricorn in your 8th house of intimacy and secrets. Your experiences in the present time are going to take you deeper into yourself and your relationships if you let them. Neptune in your 10th house can make things really hard to figure out or have the energy to do, and Mars is retrograding in your 1st house, so your sense of identity might be either really inspired or struggling to find its light. But when Mars goes direct, the energy will settle and you will feel like a new you in some ways. What motivates and drives you will shift and change next year, so don’t be surprised if what used to turn you on (both intellectually and physically), doesn’t really anymore. It’s just growth - nothing to self sabotage about.


CANCER - The Sun and Galactic Center are in your 6th house of routine, health and habit, and Mercury and Venus are in Capricorn in your 7th house of contractual relationships. Taking care of yourself is something you owe not only to yourself, but to those that depend on you. That means don’t burn the candle at both ends, delegate, and generally engage in self care more regularly. Neptune in the 9th house of ambitions squares the Sun and Galactic center, so you may be resisting some necessary work changes. Mars is retrograding in your 12th house, so your energy could be off, subdued, or just plain ol’ low. It will definitely get better after Mars goes direct. But this is your not so subtle hint by the Creator that makes all this magical shit work together to take advantage of this quiet time of inspiration, and make yourself a priority!


LEO - The Sun and Galactic Center are in your 5th house of creativity, and Mercury and Venus are in Capricorn in your 6th house of health and habits. That 5th house energy is your home and dominion, so you can really feel inspired and get some juicy downloads from the Sun at the Galactic Center on Sunday the 18th. I would encourage you to really tap in, meditate, or create on that day. Mars is retrograding in your 11th house, so your social life might be more low key than usual. That is not only ok, it gives you permission to really squeeze everything you can out of this creative energy without distraction.


VIRGO - The Sun and Galactic Center are in your 4th house of home and family, and Mercury and Venus are in Capricorn in your 5th house of creativity, fun, and romance. Are you introducing your significant other to your family this holiday season? Maybe your sweetie is on your nerves, and you can blame that Neptune Square Sun for that. It’ll pass. Holiday traditions may be shifting to include more children and even with a few hiccups, the holidays look pretty yummy and sweet. Your career may feel kinda meh right now, and that’s because Mars is retrograding there. It will start moving forward after the new year and you’ll be plenty busy and hair on fire to serve, as you are wont to do. Have some fun. “Make hay while the sun shines”, as they say.


LIBRA - The Sun and Galactic Center are in your 3rd house of communications, and Mercury and Venus are in Capricorn in your 4th house of family. Even though Mercury is slowing down, conversations with family, or information about family roots can be enlightening. Mars is retrograding in your 9th house of travel and experience and Neptune is transiting your 6th house, so you may be questioning if your current “job” (or routine) is really what you want. Your dreams and ambitions may not fit the way they used to, and that is likely due to some kind of family dynamic. Maybe they need your more or less than they used to so that changes the plan.


SCORPIO - The Sun and Galactic Center are in your 2nd house of money, and Mercury and Venus are in Capricorn in your 3rd house of information. With Mercury slowing down and preparing to retrograde in that 3rd house, and with the inspiration from the Galactic Center, you might be struck with inspiration and ideas for some kind of income stream. Use sunday the 18th to meditate around these issues. Mars is retrograding in your 8th house of debt and other people’s money, so that will figure into this equation too, especially once it goes direct in January.


SAGITTARIUS - The Sun and Galactic Center are in your 1st house of self. Happy Birthday! No wonder you are such a source of inspiration and deep thought…you get it from the galaxy! When Mercury retrogrades in your 2nd house of earned income, your income might slow down a little. Adding to this, your contractual relationships (that means marriage partners and bosses or employees) are being affected by Mars retrograde in your 7th house. That will get much better when Mars goes direct. Take time to clean up your bookkeeping so you can have a 2023 of maximum financial efficiency!


CAPRICORN - The Sun and Galactic Center are in your 12th house of isolation and old crap, and Mercury and Venus are in Capricorn in your 1st house of self. You are very likely going through some deep changes and healing from things in your past (even past lives). Also at this time, Mars is retrograding in your 6th house of work and routine. When Mars goes direct in January, things at work are going to pick up speed so take this opportunity to do the deeper self examination. You will be a bit of a brand new person in 2023, so make the most of this time so that you can emerge as a badass butterfly!


AQUARIUS - The Sun and Galactic Center are in your 11th house of audience, and Mercury and Venus are in Capricorn in your 12th house of old crap and karma. Friendships that ended badly could be on your mind. This is a chance for you to heal that shit and be done with it! Mars is retrograding in your 5th house, so your relationships with your kids, or other people’s kids (or your creative process) might be a little strained. It will improve in the new year. You have Neptune sort of clouding issues and energy levels in your income sector, and that will continue to bounce around a bit for another year or so. Keep your focus on what you feel most passionate about even if that has changed. Your vision will align you to your best life!


PISCES - The Sun and Galactic Center are in your 10th house of career, and Mercury and Venus are in Capricorn in your 11th house of audience. Your career should be pretty strong right now. Even with Mercury getting ready to retrograde in that 11th house, you are likely to just glean deeper knowledge about who you are trying to reach with your work. That Galactic Center situation on Sunday the 18th could give you some real juicy inspiration about your public life/career. I don’t have to tell you to meditate, as your life is a walking meditation - especially with your ruler and Jupiter in your 1st house. If family connections seem “off”, it will improve when Mars goes direct. I think I’ve said this to you before but it’s ok to focus on your career dreams right now! Everything has a season (cue the song)!

Bitchscopes for December 5-12 & Wonder Twins Gemini Full Moon

Alright, let me just jump into this. This week we have Mercury and Venus operating in tandem, like the Wonder Twins, not to mention a full moon in Gemini, sign of the twins!

Wonder Twins, form of a Capricorn!

Both Mercury and Venus move into Capricorn this week, and then both Mercury and Venus oppose the asteroid Chaos. Mercury and Venus will be at 0 degrees of Capricorn, and Chaos at 0 degrees of Cancer. 0 degrees of a sign is strong, undiluted energy of that sign. Keeping with our Wonder Twins them…let’s imagine Chaos at 0 degrees of Cancer is our villain (it isn’t a villain, just go with it for now). Chaos stands at the entrance to Cancer-land holding alllll of the feelings and intuition and memories in his grasp. “Mwuahahaha! I have all of the feelings! I will use them for my own Chaotic purposes! Mwuahahaha!”

However, Chaos has met his match with the 0 degree Capricorn Twins! No one can organize like a Cap under pressure! No one can keep a Capricorn Venus from what she desires! Our Capricorn heroes are uber focused, no nonsense and “get out of my way”.

All of this to say, our feelings and intuition may be hard to access during this brief tussle. What we want, and how we express what we want may come out very awkwardly, if at all. So be aware and don’t go blowing up your relationship over a meaningless fight. Utilize the massive creative and nurturing energy of Chaos in this placement to heal yourself of whatever is currently ailing you, especially things of an emotional nature.

The next thing that caught my attention is that Mars and the Sun both oppose Juno, the ruler of marriage. Squabbles could happen. And going back to that chaos situation above, they might even be likely. There may be fundamental incompatibility that becomes obvious. If your ideals or levels of commitment are not the same, you have an issue. Also possible - being attracted to someone who isn’t available, or feeling jealous and insecure. The good news is that Mars might make you determined to make something work, to work out the problems of a good relationship. So not all relationships will suffer.

Next up, Pallas is conjunct Lilith. Pallas is a brilliant mind, a strategic planner, a mastermind. Lilith is rebellious, take no shit - the original feminist. There is a vision, there is a rebellion, and there is a master plan to realize that vision. Furthermore, Venus quincunxes both Pallas and Lilith. Venus represents our values and these quincunxes can cause upset to the status quo. If I was planning a women's march or a protest, these would be great days to do it! (see transit list)

Our stalwart duo, Mercury and Venus both square Jupiter this week. It can be difficult to trust people this week. And we may have a hard time knowing our limits, either in play or in work. Socializing with our friends and co-workers looks great this week, but over indulging is something to watch for.

Last and certainly not least, we have a Full Moon in Gemini! This full moon is conjunct Mars, and Mars in retrograde doesn’t make it any calmer. This full moon can trigger sensitive areas for us and make us more reactive. Mars is our drives and when he is retrograde he will examine motivations, where we put our effort and if it is misplaced or is our energy being wasted. We can question ourselves and WTF we are doing. Furthermore, Mars’ energy is occulted/blocked by this full moon, making our true desires a little harder to access. Our feelings, not our drive to fulfill our actual needs, are going to be driving the bus. This is a recipe for acting out and not really understanding why… like starting a fight and not realizing it's not at all what you want to fight about but you’ve dug in your heels and won’t turn back now.

Also when Mars opposes the Sun, competitive energies arise. Egos get involved and so can hurt feelings. It’s important to be aware of your energy at work, and if your boss is being extra “whatever”, do what you can to avoid them. Don’t get into a drinking competition at the company Christmas party. There are all kinds of scenarios that are possible and most of them will end poorly if you are not operating in awareness.

Full moons are great for releasing things. If you have anger or resentment about something, or you’ve remembered something hurtful (Gemini keeps the receipts!), use this full moon to let it out. Write it down. Or have one of those one sided imaginary arguments while you shower. Yell and scream if it feels right. If you need to be able to do that, but have roommates or neighbors - drive out to an unpopulated area and put on whatever kind of loud music work for you and just rage it out in the car (not while driving. Driving is good for warming up. Some angry Adele singing is good.) If you yell at the imaginary not-present person until you cry, cry it the fuck out! If you’re a writer, write the scathing letter to your boss or partner or ex and say all the things you couldn’t say. Read it out loud. (And make sure you destroy that letter afterward!)   If you have been healing or hurting from a relationship this year and you’d like to move the fuck on and get unstuck, this is a good moon for that. Cleanse your emotional energy and make room for fresh, new, good stuff in the coming new year. Maybe even clean out a drawer or a closet for your future lover or partner. Donate your old stuff. Use your old partner’s abandoned underwear for your full moon ritual fire. You get the idea.

The full moon will always illuminate things. With the full moon in Gemini, information and ideas can show up for you. It will always be something you need. Write things down, because Gemini’s energy is fast-moving. And remember this week that while you are conscious and aware and trying to heal and not sabotage, they may not be at that same level of awareness and might start a petty argument or some other kind of shit or drink too much at their company Christmas party etc. etc. Be forgiving and compassionate where it is important. Have good boundaries where you need to. Try to stay calm. A good night’s sleep and a couple days time can do magic.

If you do start a feminist revolution this week, please email me the date and time.

Above all, try to have some fun, find peace, appreciate beauty, believe in magic. We are all the goddamn Wonder Twins!



ARIES - Your wonder twin powers fall in the 3rd house of communication. Expect information to show up within a couple weeks after this full moon. Your communication and values are lined up in your 10th house of career, and the Sun in Sagittarius offers a lot of optimism for your work life right now whether you are content or looking elsewhere. If your job feels like it doesn’t align with your spiritual values, or if your intuition is telling you something is off, I wouldn’t act on it just yet. That is possibly the squares of Mercury and Venus to Jupiter so I would wait until the dust settles from all this full moon and other activity this week when you can access truth and your real feelings.


TAURUS - The wonder twins grace your 2nd house of income, and you could receive news about a raise or a job offer after this full moon. The Sun in your 8th house could get some passive income, loans, or investments percolating and have you feeling optimistic. But keep your wits about you and watch out for over spending or over extending yourself. Mercury and Venus in Cap are in your 9th house of travel and experiences, squaring Jupiter in your house of friends, hopes and dreams, and groups. If you’ve got some travel plans, your friend(s) may flake out (and Mercury is retrograding in Cap at the end of December so keep that in mind), so maybe you’re better off adjusting those plans or having a plan B.


GEMINI - The wonder twins full moon hits your 1st house of course, and this can light up your path for you and show you your next steps. Jupiter is in your 10th house and it can offer some foundational wisdom on how to build whatever it is you’re trying to build. Mercury and Venus in Capricorn can do the same, as well as bringing in ideas and people to add to that foundational structure. The sun is in your partnership house, bringing focus and hopefully warmth there. However, the full moon may agitate your partner and they may be a shit starter. It will pass, so keep your wits about you and keep your sharp tongue in check until the dust settles!


CANCER - The wonder twins moon hits your weird 12th house. Weird isn’t always bad, but it can be eerie, other worldly, unseen…its like the energetic stuff that gets swept under the rug. The full moon might shine a flashlight into those untidy corners. Your sleep and your dreams may be screwy. Any intuitive hits you get about your body or your health at this time are things you should explore. New relationships can get serious with Venus in Capricorn in your 7th house. Communication can be a bit more no-nonsense in your marriage or relationship now as well.


LEO - The wonder twins moon hits your 11th house of friends, dreams, and people who help us achieve those dreams. This full moon can light up and draw into your life people who can help you further your goals and find your audience. The sun in Sagittarius is in your 5th house of creativity and Mercury and Venus in Capricorn will give you the right head for making great strides toward your vision. Don’t be alarmed if there are spats between you and your friends during this full moon energy. But there is also clarity around these issues, so you’ll know if you need to do something with the information that comes up and out.


VIRGO - The wonder twins moon lights up your 10th house of career, which can bring attention to you. But because Mars is involved, I am thinking you’ll need to be aware of blowing up on someone. This could happen anywhere in your “public life”. You might loose your cool on social media, or at work, or in an email (Gemini!) Try to keep your shit together and not blow up, but if you do, all you can do is move ahead. Things might get emotional or pissy at home as well, because the Sagittarius sun is in your 4th house, opposing that moon and Mars. You do have great creative resources this week, so lean into that energy to get done whatever you need to get done and move past all the drama and dust. This too shall pass!


LIBRA - The wonder twins moon lands in your 9th house of ambitions, so you might get a glimpse of a future job or something along those lines. But the Sunis in the 3rd house of communication opposes that moon and Mars. Because Mars is involved, there could be some tension and it would likely be of a know-it-all nature. Mercury and Venus are in your 4th house of family, squaring your routines and work, so things just aren’t aligning with your personal life and people and your ambitions and career. But these things come to light for our benefit and it isn’t likely to be anything huge, just some agitation.


SCORPIO - The wonder twins moon hits your 8th house of secrets and intimacy. You might become aware of something in the light of this moon. With Mars involved, things could get heated. You might also become aware of a debt you owe or someone wants something paid back. Mercury and Venus in Capricorn will be in the 3rd house squaring your 5th house. This makes me think of an argument with a child or a creative block. Whatever comes up around the full moon, take it in stride and try not to overreact. When the dust settles, whatever it is will not be so jarring.


SAGITTARIUS - The wonder twins moon hits your 7th house of partnerships and is conjunct Mars. So an argument is possible. You could also meet someone in this full moon energy, and in this case, Mars would just be making things hot. Money is likely to be a conversation at home, and it may be a source of friction or tension. Make sure that you’re holding up your end of the agreements. This energy will pass and money will start flowing in with more ease in the coming months.


CAPRICORN - The wonder twins moon hits your 6th house of health and habits. You might start to see the benefits of things you’ve been working on, or something could come to your attention that you’ve missed. Mercury and Venus move into your first house, giving you extra charm and wit, so don’t be surprised if you get more attention than usual. The Sun in Sagittarius is in your 12th house, so as I’ve mentioned before, you may have the birthday doldrums. It will pass and you’ll be back on your game later this month.


AQUARIUS - The wonder twins moon hits your 5th house of creativity, play, romance, and offspring. So, if you were trying to get pregnant, you might find out now (and it could be twins!). Creative projects might also be finished or your work on them completed. Jupiter in Pisces is in your 2nd house, so you might be getting paid now for your work too! The Sun in Sagittarius is in your 11th house of friends, so this could be a great period for you socially, however, Mercury and Venus move into your 12th house, where things are a bit more introverted. Mercury will be there for a while, but Venus will move along and you can find more romantic prospects if you are looking.


PISCES - The wonder twins moon hits your 4th house of home and family. That is a Cancer ruled house, so feelings may come out under this moon. Jupiter is still in your sign, bestowing a good amount of luck and juju on you, which is likely to show up in your 10th house (where Sagittarius Sun is) or your 11th house of hopes, dreams, friends, associates, and audience. Things still look really good for your projects and prospects! You’re on Fiyah!!

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.
