Week of Nov. 10-16, 2010

Wednesday, Nov. 10—Be aware of three major energies today. The first is of the cautionary variety. Light will be shed on secrets, coercive activities and anything normally kept under the surface and hidden from view. These are not likely to be welcome exposures in most cases, and bad reactions will not be surprising. Guard your secrets, and keep your eyes and ears open as there will be much to learn. This energy also brings problems with and for authority. Don’t get caught up in challenges to authority or attempts at regime change, unless that’s the level you really swim at. The second is very good for initiating projects involving communication, transportation and the uses of energy and power. The third is related to the first and is more positive. This energy is good for seeing beneath the surface and communicating on deep levels. It can be used to deal well with issues raised by the first energy. Don’t overreact to things at first. Let some time go by, and make use of the third energy to either talk your way out of trouble, or better, to turn problems into solutions that work for all concerned.

Thursday, Nov. 11—All of the high energy from yesterday will remain very much with us through today. Reread and apply carefully both the cautions and the positive possibilities. Another major energy is coming into focus through today. This energy is very good for making new beginnings in relationships and aesthetic activities along more spiritual lines. Again, remember that Venus remains retrograde and that relationships and artistic projects from the past are likely to be featured. Discernment and wisdom are required to determine whether these are good to re-engage with or not. Aside from the major energy, the minor energies are mixed, and moods will swing to the point of volatility in some cases. Good moods should run through the predawn. The morning through the early afternoon will vacillate. Take a communicative, intuitive, cooperative and innovative approach for best results. Some, however, will fall into aggressiveness, coercive attitudes and relationship issues. The moon will be void of course this afternoon from 1:57 until 4:32 when it enters Aquarius. At that point, the energy will lift noticeably, and general moods will tend to become more independent and free-thinking. Make some positive new beginnings through the evening, and enjoy the later evening through the late night.

Friday, Nov. 12—The major energy mentioned yesterday involving relationships and aesthetic matters peaks in today’s late predawn and remains very much with us through today. Reread and apply carefully. Aside from the major energy, today’s predawn starts out with good moods, and a friendly and communicative approach will serve best. The rest of the predawn through the early morning is open. A brief period of exaggerated emotional responses may occur in the mid morning, but this will come and go to little effect. Take an active yet disciplined approach through the afternoon, and get a lot done, but watch for some people to have some erratic emotional responses that can get in the way of progress. For most of us, this should be a nice, mellow social Friday night. Enjoy.

Saturday, Nov. 13—Late Friday-night social scenes that run over into today’s predawn will have clear sailing until late in the predawn when there may be some minor irritability and coercive attitudes. Watch the morning for a period of potential for some very bad moods. The energy will be intense, even if managed well, so be on your toes. Good moods will roll in as the tense period fades, and you will want to have some fun this afternoon. Moods should remain positive through the evening and the late night for most of us, but some will fall into hard attitudes. Don’t play that game with them. Have fun tonight, but be aware that the moon will be void of course from 12:33 through much of tomorrow’s predawn, and try not to take new things too seriously after it begins.

Sunday, Nov. 14—Late Saturday-night party scenes should be positively energized into today’s predawn. Party people will want to remember, however, that the moon will be void of course from 12:33 until 4:24 when it enters Pisces. At that point, the energy will shift, and general moods tend to become somewhat more mellow and spiritual, if a bit spacy. Be aware of two major energies today. The first can bring problems to relationships, and conflict can easily arise. This will not be the time to bring up people from the past, as even trying to favorably compare who you are with now can go awry. Be ready to switch to damage control mode at a moment’s notice. The second is much more positive and is very good for any activity. It is especially positive for anything involving the uses of energy and power or requiring self-discipline, but also works well for fun and enjoyment. Make the right choices, and get a lot out of this day.

Monday, Nov. 15—High energy from yesterday, both the cautionary and the positive, will remain very much with us through today. Reread and be sure to make the best possible use of the positive energy while focusing it on workday matters. Another major energy to be aware of today is high positive energy itself that can be put to any good use. Deal with authority, expand your horizons, make the most of opportunities that will present themselves today, and generally go for whatever good things come into focus. This is one of those go-for-it days that one really wants to take full advantage of. Some minor irritability may occur in the early morning, but once past that, we have the all-clear to move forward in all good ways.

Tuesday, Nov. 16—The high positive energy from the past two days will remain very much with us through today. Reread and make sure to put it all to the best possible use. Another major energy running through the day sheds light on all things secret and hidden, but not in a challenging or threatening way in the vast majority of cases. Use this energy to see deeply within and under the surface and initiate positive transformations. Also, be vigilant around authority and up and down your food chain as there will be much to learn about how things really work that can be put to use at appropriate times. Moods will be most positive from the mid predawn through the mid morning. The fly in the ointment today is that you will want to be aware of and work around the moon void of course period that runs from 10:36 this morning until 4:58 this afternoon, when the moon enters Aries. At that point, the energy will lift very noticeably, and general moods will tend to become somewhat more assertive and aggressive. Work on things already in progress, and tidy up details of those things during the void of course, but be prepared for a big boost in energy as it ends.
