Wednesday, Nov. 17—Yesterday’s major energy will remain with us through today, so reread and make the best possible use of it. Be aware of three more major energies. The first can bring problems to relationships. “We have to talk” is not something you want to hear today. Disagreement can easily start, and you definitely do not want to bring up relationships from the past. Venus is at station point to go direct tomorrow, so this is the deepest part of the retrograde. The second is very positive and is very good for communication and transportation, as well as negotiation and coming to long-term agreement. This is the energy to focus on if the first one becomes a problem. Take an honest approach, and seek fairness for all concerned. The third is not related, but is quite contradictory. This energy brings out the space cases in a big way. Watch for the inebriated and otherwise out-of-it, who will be out in full force. It also easily brings problems with and for authority. Be very careful around authority figures of any kind as confusion and misunderstanding can easily arise. Good moods are available through much of today and especially tonight, but the right choices will have to be made.

Thursday, Nov. 18—High energy from yesterday, both positive and cautionary, will remain very much with us through today. Reread and make the best possible use of the positive while being very careful with the cautionary. Be aware of two more major energies. The first is today’s biggest news, and that is that Venus turns direct this afternoon after having backed up in our skies since early October. As it picks up speed over the next several days, those who reignited old flames will start to remember why these went out the first time. That is not to say it can’t work out, but reasons, if they are there, will become apparent. The second is high positive energy that is excellent for anything having to do with science, technology, magic and all things unique, innovative and cutting edge. It can also be positive for taking a novel approach to authority, and suggestions for change are more likely to be well-received than at other times. Today’s best moods will run from the mid predawn into the later evening. Watch the late night for minor relationship issues, and be aware that the moon will be void of course from 11:32 tonight well into tomorrow morning.

Friday, Nov. 19—Last night’s moon void of course period runs through most of today’s predawn and ends at 4:03 this morning, when the moon enters Taurus. At that point, the energy will shift, and general moods will tend to become more down-to-earth and concerned with enjoyment. The high positive energy from yesterday will remain very much with us through today. Reread and make the best possible use of it. Be aware of another major energy. This one sheds light on relationships and aesthetic matters. Here is where those who restarted relationships from the past will start to find out if it was a good idea or not. The aspect is favorable and communicative, so see the truth and speak it clearly and with empathy. Minor energies are not a lot of help today, but with the right choices, good moods can be enjoyed. Have a great time tonight.

Saturday, Nov. 20—Major energy from yesterday involving relationships and aesthetic matters will remain with us through today. Make good use of it. Be aware of three more major energies. The first is very good for beginning projects involving communication, transportation, and the uses of energy and power. Take an active approach, and put the right things into motion. The second is rather more cautionary. Watch for some people to run into restrictions and frustrations and act out on them. This is not recommended, as consequences will be harsher and longer lasting than usual. Also, be careful around authority of any kind as things can become problematic in that context as well. You will notice energy levels rising dramatically as the third major energy, tomorrow’s full moon, rolls in. It is exact at midday tomorrow, and you will want to consider the moon to be full tonight. This will obviously be a high-energy social Saturday night, but one to be respectful of.

Sunday, Nov. 21—Today is full moon day. It is exact at 11:26 this morning. Remember that full moons are always high energy and deserve to be approached with respect. Yesterday’s cautionary energy is closely connected to the full moon, and so it is continued and inflated through today and tomorrow. All of the high energy from Wednesday through Friday is connected to the full moon as well, so reread those days, and apply both the cautions and the positives. Late Saturday-night party scenes will be highly energized well into today’s predawn. Have a great time, but if you are still out in the late predawn, then watch for some spaciness. Be aware of a short moon void of course period today that runs from 11:26 this morning until 12:44 this afternoon, when the moon enters Gemini. At that point, the energy will shift noticeably, and general moods will tend to become more communicative. Relax and enjoy the rest of the day with all of the full-moon intensity.

Monday, Nov. 22—The full moon and all of its attendant energies will remain very much with us through today and well into tomorrow. Reread the past several days and apply carefully. The sun enters the mutable fire sign Sagittarius in today’s late predawn, and the final third of the fall season begins. During this time, continue to reap and store the harvest from the major projects begun back at the Vernal Equinox, and begin to think about your new beginnings this coming March. Aside from major energies, the early predawn may have some minor aggressive irritability, but this will fade fast, and the rest of the predawn through most of the morning is open. The midday might have a brief period of minor relationship issues, but an expansive, yet disciplined, approach will turn things around through the rest of the afternoon. The evening is open, but watch the late night for a return of the energy that started the predawn.

Tuesday, Nov. 23—Remember to take into account the lingering full moon and attendant energies through most of today at least. A brief period of irritability and argumentativeness may occur in the early to mid predawn, but this will pass, and the rest of the predawn is open. Watch the early morning for some emotional over-reactions, but this will pass quickly to little effect as well. The late morning through the afternoon is mixed. Take an expansive approach, be open to the intuitive process, watch for some erratic emotional reactions, and pay positive attention to relationships. Get anything important involving workday matters done before 3:56 this afternoon, as the moon will be void of course from then until 7:13 this evening, when the moon enters Cancer. At that point, the energy will lift noticeably, and general moods will tend to become more sensitive, protective and nurturing. An open period will occur for a couple of hours following the void of course, but watch for minor erratic irritability in the late night.
