Moonday Monday, Your Weekly Forecast 11/19-11/25

Happy Monday!
We have an eventful week this week with a Full Moon in Gemini, Neptune Stationing Direct, our Sun entering Sagittarius, and Mars Squaring Neptune. This week travel plans may be rocky as we have many transits that could complicate communication and travel. We also could find ourselves having some difficulty in getting along with family over the holiday season, so we will want to be preemptive and creating escape plans to recharge away from the action.
Tarot Cards for the week include:
Judgement, Wheel of Fortune, The Moon, Temperance, 10 of Wands, 7 of Wands, 8 of Wands, 9 of Wands, 7 of Swords, 8 of Swords, 9 of Swords, The Lovers, Justice.
Monday11/19
Moon in Aries
We start our morning off with the Moon in Aries which should help us to feel energized in getting things done throughout the day. This energy can also make us a bit hot headed or short tempered when it comes to our feelings, so we will want to be mindful to not over react or over assert ourselves Getting a work out in at some point in the day is good for moving a lot of this Aries heat through the body.
Strong Aspects During the Day PDT
Moon Trine Mercury RX in Sagittarius 8:26 AM
Our need to communicate and expand our awareness throughout the day is enhanced but could be stifled with Mercury retrograde. We may also try to move faster than is possible right now in many areas of our lives. It is important to know when to act vs. when to slow down. Mercury retrograde always advises not to make any large decisions during this time. You may want to expect worst case scenario this week in regard to things moving smoothly and just try to go with the flow. The trine energy helps to expand our awareness regarding actions and ourselves, but the retrograde energy can make it not as smooth as it could be.
Mars in Pisces Square Jupiter in Sagittarius 5:30 PM
This transit is not a positive one for travel or expanding ones own personal interests in regard to work, business, or religious / spiritual pursuits. We run a risk during this transit with getting too far ahead of ourselves, spending money unwisely, making bad choices, and having travel plans go wrong. Our perceptions around what is possible may also be distorted during this time. Mercury RX does not help this energy. We may anticipate delays and blockages during our holiday travels. We need to plan ahead as much as we can, slow down, and try not to be too aggressive towards making things go our way right now as they most likely will not.
Moon Square Pluto in Capricorn 8:21PM
Tension in the evening around productivity and action is enhanced. We could feel ourselves wanting to make abrupt changes around our homes or in our personal lives. We are more inclined to feel at odds with members of our family as well. It may be best to work on cleaning out and purging old items no longer serving you rather than making any drastic changes at this time.
Tuesday 11/20
Moon Void of Course 2:46 PM
Moon Enters Taurus 3:43PM
The Moon in Taurus allows for us to feel more grounded throughout the day, but the transits from the day before will still be bleeding over, primarily the Mars Square Jupiter transit, so we still want to be mindful with how we are exerting our energy. We benefit from being task oriented in a practical way, moving slowly, and finding ways to have gratitude for what we have rather than focusing too much on what needs to be changed.
Strong Aspects During the Day PDT
Moon Opposition Venus in Libra 7:45AM
Our need for connection with family and/or romantic partners is enhanced and we could be feeling extra needy in the morning hours. We also may feel inclined towards overspending and retail therapy. We benefit from finding ways of focusing on self love rather than projecting this neediness onto others. If you are able to find a way to meditate on your heart chakra and do some self care in the morning, you will feel much better.
Moon Conjunct Uranus in Aries 2:46PM
Unexpected changes could arise in the afternoon. We ourselves could initiate these changes, or we could experience some unexpected news from a family member or friend. We could also feel the need to change something within our routine randomly throughout the day, or we have a deep emotional insight about ourselves that helps to illuminate something we are going through.
Moon Sextile Mars in Pisces 9:36 PM
Our need for action in the evening is enhanced and we could feel a need to get something done. Exercise and physical activity is a positive way to spend this energy, or getting a head start on a project you have going on for the week. Mars in Pisces is not the easiest placement though as Mars in Pisces tends to feel conflicted or confused about what exactly needs to be done. You may feel a creative surge and channeling this energy into creative projects is positive. But you may also feel lost as to what direction you wish to go in, and it may force you to have to think outside of the box. Be mindful not to fall into illusions about what is possible.
Wednesday 11/21
Moon in Taurus
We continue to feel grounded and practical with the Moon in Taurus and we benefit from chipping away at work projects. Our connection to our bodies and home may be enhanced during this time as well, and we benefit from cooking for ourselves and loving our bodies in an intentional way.
