Astro-Weather: Week of Nov. 3-9, 2010

By Guy Spiro

Wednesday, Nov. 3—Two major energies coming into focus through today are somewhat contradictory. The first is very good for communicating and otherwise dealing with authority, older people and traditional matters. Take a disciplined approach, make sure your ducks are neatly in a row, and make that approach to the boss. The second, however, can be positive in an innovative way, but also easily leads to erratic behavior and brings out the crazies. It also can lead to problems with and for authority, and things can quickly and easily get out of hand. It will be a fine line to walk, and you will want to be careful with it. Bail fast if you see you will need to. Minor aspects are very mixed from the late predawn through the evening, and moods will tend to swing. Make very good choices, and get some important things done today, but be very vigilant and careful how you go about it.

Thursday, Nov. 4—The high energy from yesterday, both positive and cautionary, peaks this morning and remains strongly with us through today. Reread yesterday, and make the most of the good while minimizing potential problems. Do deal carefully with authority, which can be very capricious, and watch for the nutballs who will be out and about in all their glory. Be aware of two more major energies today. The first is very positive for anything involving communication and transportation. This energy supports the positive from yesterday, and is as good for it as it gets. Make very good use of it. You will notice energy levels rising throughout the day as the second major energy, tomorrow night’s new moon, rolls in. Consider today to be part of the new moon period, and be good at the very least, but be aware that the moon will be void of course from 6:33 this evening until 1:16 in tomorrow’s predawn. At that point, the energy will lift very noticeably, general moods will tend to become more intense and passionate, and the new moon period will begin in earnest.

Friday, Nov. 5—The high positive energy from yesterday will remain with us through today, so reread and plan to make good use of it. Today is new moon day. It is exact at 11:52 tonight. Remember that what you start at around new moon brings results at the next full moon. Obviously, it pays to start what you want to see the results of and not to start what you don’t. While this particular new to full period is not as intense as some we’ve seen recently, it still deserves to be handled with respect. During this time, you will want to pay attention to matters involving self-discipline, relationships and making positive changes in general. Be aware of two more major energies today. The first sheds light on relationships and is good for new beginnings in them. Remember, however, that Venus is in retrograde, and people and issues from the past can easily come up for review. Renewing old relationships can be either a good thing or not. Try to really remember why things did not work out the last time. The second is related to yesterday’s, but is not as positive, to say the least. This energy brings out the space cases. Watch for those overdoing recreational substances and that are otherwise out of it, who will be out in full force. Confusion and misunderstanding can easily arise. Be especially careful in traffic. This will certainly be a high-energy social Friday night, but remember the new moon and the cautions.

Saturday, Nov. 6—Late Friday-night party scenes will be very highly energized well into today’s predawn. The new moon and all of the high energy from the past two days, both positive and cautionary, will remain very much with us through today. Reread and apply carefully. Make the best possible use of the positive and minimize the cautions. Be especially aware of the new moon, and make the right kinds of beginnings. Be aware of two more major energies today. They are related to those of the past two days, and serve to extend and complicate them more than they already are. The first is very positive for communication and transportation, especially where electricity and electronic media are involved. This energy also supports anything involving science, technology and magic, as well as being very good for any kind of fun, stimulating and unusual activities. The second is again contradictory and can bring problems to communication and transportation, especially where people run into restrictions, frustrations and other impediments to their desires. Foolish acting out on this can bring harsher and longer-lasting consequences than normal, so bite your tongue, count to 10, or whatever you need to do. These are some very clear choices. Make the right ones, and stay out of the way of those not as fortunate. This will be a very high-energy social Saturday night. Have a great time, but remember the new moon, the cautions, and be aware that the moon will be void of course from 10:45 tonight into tomorrow’s mid predawn.

Sunday, Nov. 7—New moon energy and the flurry of major communication and transportation energy from the past few days will tend to linger through today. Reread the past few days, and apply carefully. Late Saturday-night party scenes will be strongly energized well into today’s predawn, but remember that last night’s moon void of course period ends at 2:28 this morning, when the moon enters Sagittarius. At that point, the energy will lift noticeably, and general moods will tend to become more expansive and open to a range of ideas. Another major energy to be aware of today indicates a general shift in relationship and aesthetic activities toward more of a concern for balance, beauty and fairness. This is Venus retrograding back into one of its own signs, Libra. Over this last 10 days or so of the Venus retrograde, there will be opportunities to heal rifts and reconnect with people from the past. This must be done carefully as you do not want to rip open wounds for no good purpose, but only for making things right. All parties must be willing and able, or it’s probably best to let sleeping dogs lie.

Monday, Nov. 8—There are two major energies to be aware of today. The first is related to yesterday’s relationship energy and can be very good for communication in relationships. Reread yesterday carefully, however, and make wise choices about how to use this energy. The second indicates a general shift in thinking, communication and transportation toward a more expansive and open to a range of possibilities mode. This is Mercury entering Sagittarius. Aside from major energy, there may be some minor relationship issues in the late predawn, but this will pass unnoticed by most of us. Good moods will run from the late predawn into the early morning, and this should extend through most of the workday, at least. Some exaggerated emotional reactions may occur into the later evening, but this should pass with little effect. Moods will improve in the late night.

Tuesday, Nov. 9—Moods will shift through today’s predawn. Take a friendly approach, and be open to the intuitive process in the early predawn, but watch for a swing to erratic emotional reactions not long after that. Once past that period, moods will again improve through the rest of the predawn, and early birds should pay positive attention to relationships. Do be aware of a short moon void of course period this morning from 6:35 until 7:37, when the moon enters Capricorn. At that point, the energy will shift, and general moods will tend to become more down to earth and concerned with accomplishment. Take a communicative approach through most of the morning following the void of course, and get a lot done. A brief period of minor irritability may arise at the midday. Take a cooperative approach through the afternoon, and be productive. Relax and enjoy the nighttime.
