Horoscope for the Week of November 28, 2004

Tip of the Week:

The Sun is well on its way into the Tropical Sign of Sagittarius and will align with Pluto in a couple of weeks. This aspect will intensify desires for community, culture and communion. It will also empower and deepen emotions to expand, seek opportunities, take big risks and make key moves. By then, Mercury will turn retrograde once again (11/30/2004 - 12/20/2004) keeping life from getting boring! Currently, Mercury is in alignment with the Galactic Center which is at 26 degrees Sagittarius in the Tropical Zodiac and that is where the mythical winged messenger will be when it begins its tri-annual retreat. While Mercury is retrograde it is a good time to re-read the fine print especially regarding legal documents, or postpone such commitments for now. Also keep all receipts and allow for more time than usual to get things done and to get where you are going. Meanwhile, Venus is hot on the tail of Mars in sexy Scorpio after weeks of pursuit. The lovers will finally connect on Sunday December 5th. More on this next week. Of itself, Mars in Scorpio (Nov 12 - Dec 26) is the source of much probing, seeding and/or clearing and purging on any number of levels. Blessings for a smooth ride in these big waves!

Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 20)

Taking risks to expand your vision and scope of experience continues. The union of Venus of mars in Scorpio has steamy implications. Be aware that while the heat may feel insatiable, it may cool down quickly again. This is a good time to look to the big picture over the long term as much as possible. While the desire for meaningful union is strong, it will turn to deepening the relationship you have with yourself by the turn of the New Year.

Taurus (Apr 21 - May 20)

The realities of deepening bonds will try to shine through the blinder of emotions this week. You desire love in a big way and it may or may not be the long term kind. The pull between union and independence may be the source of stress. This is an aspect of your search for authentic personal power and purposeful direction. Meanwhile, buildng community in one fashion or another and other meaningful bonds is the source of inspiration.

Gemini (May 21 - Jun 20)

Despite the increasingly cold air, the Venus/Mars union in Scorpio is creating its own source of heat. You are ready to bring what passion you can to help build the fire. Noticeable changes in your public and professional life includes strong relationship themes. Learning to negotiate workable deals and share power equally is a part of the plot. As you face fears you never thought you could, you are building a solid foundation of inner strength. See the inner purpose at play!

Cancer (Jun 21 - Jul 21)

Increasing the quality of your overall lifestyle continues. You have reasons to feel confident and this is its own source of excitement. The prospects of romantic encounters are creating some anxiety as well. Whether this is a good thing or not varies. Mercury turning retrograde is reason to think twice before making big promises. Your imagination powers will increase this week; intend to make the best of this opportunity for creative union and self-expression.

Leo (Jul 22 - Aug 22)

A very creative cycle continues. This is a wonderful opportunity to let your imagination run wild. Making things happen close to home may have mixed reviews. You desire change and are willing to rock the whole honuse if necessary. Accepting others and situations as they are and changing your own mind may prove to be the best solution. Allow for variety in your scope and action now. This includes social affairs and gatherings for both business and pleasure.

Virgo (Aug 23 - Sep 21)

Changes on relationship fronts over the past year or so are the source of exploring new possibilities on both romantic and professional fronts. At best, you feel energetic and determined to make a new mark on the world. Alternatively, you feel like a rebel without a cause. If the latter is true, ask for or seek guidance because opportunity is knocking. In any case, flirt with new possibilities and prospects towards expanding the quality of your home base.

Libra (Sep 22 - Oct 21)

A cry for freedom is ushering from your soul. Freedom has many implications. Basically there is the freedom from and there is the freedom to. Take a little time to fill in the blanks on both these aspects of freedom. Meanwhile, remember that whatever events are happening, you and everyone else is fully responsible for their part in the process. The time has come to find new and better ways to love. Exercise empathy, get creative and negotiate for a different and better deal!

Scorpio (Oct 22 - Nov 21)

Increasing the quality of your life is having profound implications. You want love and abundance, in the best sense. You have now, or desire reason to be happy and hopeful again or more fully. Old perceptions, values and behaviour patterns are being replaced with a new and hopefully, better quality of life. Change is the law and that is much bigger than you. When life reaches out and takes you by the hand, take its hand in return. Go with the flow!

Sagittarius (Nov 21 - Dec 20)

Though storm clouds may still be rumbling in the distance, the dawning of a new day is brightening your spirits. Friends are a source of support and inspiration and it may be worth reaching out to those your love and trust most at this time. There is always another way says the wise man. Our ability to change the outer world, especially others is limited, but we can change our own mind. As you boldly yet quietly face your fears by silencing your mind, you come to the Promised Land!

Capricorn (Dec 21 - Jan 19)

Restoring harmony and realizing justice is keeping you busy. These realizations may be inner as well as outer. When we stop to examine that karma, the law of cause and effect, recognizing that it operates impersonally, we can remember the larger reality. Revenge may have a sweet taste; it comes with a high price that may have to be paid soon and later. Amidst such epiphanies of wisdom to soothe your soul and help you keep your cool, who's that entering the room!?

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 19)

Did someone say network? That is so much what Aquarius is about. Right form the inter-connective electricity in the body to the cosmic connection of the planets to the email on the web; network is the top new word! Mingle works and so does dance and then there's kiss, say I like those pants! Yes the world is in a great big mess and it needs to be changed. Meeting people and joining sincere humanitarian movements where people of like mind meet is the way. Whether in cyber space or at some great place, do your thing to network!

Pisces (Feb 19 - Mar 20)

Breaking through old forms and ways is big on your mind! You are making diligent efforts to awaken to your needs for freedom. As with your Libra friends, this is a good time to take not of what freedom means to you. The key is to be honest with yourself and others about what you want and need now and for the foreseeable future. Freedom begins within and has many implications. Forgiveness and understanding and self-awareness and choice are other means to achieve freedom.
